What’s In
Reading as a critical element of literacy is very essential for individuals’
success. It is one of the ways that we use language in our daily life to gather
information, communicate with others and for enjoyment. Hence, reading always
occurs in context. Thus, when you read and evaluate the text you are reading, it is
important to validate your assertions and counterclaims with valid evidence to produce
meaningful evaluative statements.
You learned from the previous module about the considerations you need to
make when you read and analyze a text in a critical way. Critical reading does not
simply mean reading to find fault in a writer’s idea. Rather, it means reading and
rereading a text to be able to go beyond what an author stated in a text.
In this module you will be learning about how evaluative statements are
constructed through formulating assertions and counterclaims in a text that you read.
TASK
Directions: Guess the word based on the pictures /clues presented. Write your
answer on a separate sheet of paper.

What’s New
Evaluative Statement
An evaluative statement is a way of giving a better explanation to show the

strengths and weaknesses of something through writing. It presents a value of
judgment based on a set of criteria. It is the writer’s way of explaining why strength is
a strength and a weakness is a weakness based on the evidence gathered (Belino,
2017). Further, according to Hernandez et al. (2017), an evaluative statement is
an objective and tactful way of reacting to a text. Objective in a sense that your
reaction is not influenced by your feelings or personal biases.
We formulate an evaluative statement in a way of presenting our final judgment
on an idea or issue, whether it would be positive or negative, right, or wrong, moral or
immoral, and supported by research or valid reasons. Evaluative statements can be
used to show opinions, judgments, and points of view in a clear concise manner.
There are 2 steps in composing your evaluative statement 1) formulating
assertions about the content and the properties of a text read and 2) formulating a
meaningful counterclaim in response to a claim made in the text.
Look at the example below that shows an evaluative statement from a given text.
Text Evaluative Statement

Example: Example:
If you are not so smart, you The statement is very discriminative against those
should try to be a teacher. with average intelligence and teachers in general.
Formulating Assertions
What is an Assertion?
Becoming a good critical reader means that you can logically evaluate the
claims of the writer. Assertions become the primary channel for a reader to agree to a
claim. A claim is a statement about something, which could, in theory, be supported
with evidence. It is an assertion about the way things are, or were, or will be, or should
be.
Assertion is a stylistic approach or technique involving a strong declaration, a
forceful or confident and positive statement regarding a belief or a fact. Often, it is
without proof or any support.
Assertion is an honest and appropriate expression of one’s feelings, opinions,
and needs. It is a confident and forceful statement of fact or belief. Its purpose is to
express ideas or feelings directly, for instance, - “I have put my every effort to complete
this task today.” - Standing up for your rights and not being taken advantage of is one
definition of being assertive. It also means communicating what you really want in a
4
lOMoARcPSD|18115672
clear fashion, respecting your own rights and feelings and the rights and feelings of
others.
A way to convince a critical reader is to accept the writer’s claim to formulate
assertions. Assertions, as defined by Tiongson (2016), are ―declarative sentences
that claim something is true about something else. These sentences may either be
statements of truths or opinions. There are four common types of assertion
enumerated by Tiongson.
Tiongson’s Types of Assertion
1. Statement of Fact
This is a statement that can be proven objectively by direct experience,

testimonies of witnesses, verified observations, or the results of research.
Example: The sampaguita’s roots are used for medicinal purposes, such as an
anesthetic and a sedative.
This statement is a fact because it can be directly verified by experience or reliable
research reports.
2. Statement of Opinion
Opinions are based on facts but are difficult to objectively verify because of the
uncertainty of producing satisfactory proofs of soundness.
Example: The popularity of sampaguita flowers is most evident in places of worship.

The above statement is an opinion because it is based on an observation that needs
to be proven by studies and repeated observation; there are too many factors involved
that makes explicit judgment difficult.
3. Statement of Convention
A convention is a way in which something is done, like traditions and norms.

Conventions depend on historical precedent, laws, rules, usage, and customs.
Example: The sampaguita belongs to the genus Jasminum of the family Oleaceae.
This statement is a convention because it is based on a classification system made
up by scientists and is acceptable to the scientific community.
4. Statement of Preference
Preferences are based on personal choice; therefore, they are subjective and
cannot be objectively proven or logically attacked.
Example: Sampaguitas are the most beautiful and most fragrant of all flowers.
This statement is a preference because it says a lot about the type of flowers that the
writer likes, instead of objectively comparing the qualities of sampaguitas to that of
other flowers.
5
lOMoARcPSD|18115672
Formulating Counterclaims
What is a counterclaim?
To be an effective critical thinker, it is not enough just to be able to identify

claims and assertions. It is also important to have the ability to analyze an argument
and counterclaims.
Counterclaims are claims made to rebut a previous claim and/or an assertion.

They provide a contrasting perspective to the main argument. Counterclaims answer
the question. (What are other credible possibilities?)
The following questions will help you formulate a counterclaim:
• What are the major points on which you and the author can disagree?
• What is the strongest argument? What did they say to defend their position?
• What are the merits of their view?
• What are the weaknesses or shortcomings in their argument?
• Are there any hidden assumptions?
• Which lines from the text best support the counterclaim you have formulated?
Steps in Writing a Counterclaim
Step One – Ways to begin counterclaim paragraphs.
o Many people believe that . . .

o It is often thought that . . .
o It might seem as if . . .
o While it is common . . .
Step Two – Ways to transition from the opposite side back to your opinion.
o What this argument fails to consider is . . .

o This view sounds convincing at first but . . .
o Although the core claim is valid, it suffers from the flaw in its . . .
Step Three – Write a counterclaim. Use one of the sentence starters in step one.
Remember to transition back to your opinion. Use one of the sentences starters in step
two.
Counterclaim example:
Claim: It is often thought that social studies is the favorite academic class for junior
high school students.
Counterclaim: However, what this argument fails to consider is that science allows
for more hands-on activities. For example, when studying amphibians, you get to
dissect a frog rather than just read about an event from the past.

What I Can Do
Task I (Assertions)
Directions: Read the given excerpt below and formulate your own assertions about
the content of the text. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
Educational Challenges and Opportunities of the Coronavirus

(COVID-19) Pandemic
(Excerpt)
We are living amidst what is potentially one of the greatest threats in our
lifetime to global education, a gigantic educational crisis. As of March 28, 2020, the
COVID-19 pandemic is causing more than 1.6 billion children and youth to be out
of school in 161 countries. This is close to 80% of the world’s enrolled students.
We were already experiencing a global learning crisis, as many students were in
school, but they were not learning the fundamental skills needed for life.
The World Bank’s Learning Poverty indicator – the % of children who cannot
read and understand at age 10 – stood at 53% of children in low- and middle-
income countries – before the outbreak started. This pandemic has the potential to
worsen these outcomes even more if we do not act fast.
What should we be worried about in this phase of the crisis that might have
an immediate impact on children and youth? (1) Losses in learning; (2) Increased
dropout rates; (3) Children missing their most important meal of the day. Moreover,
most countries have very unequal education systems, and these negative impacts
will be felt disproportionately by poor children. When it rains, it pours for them.

Task II (Counterclaims)
Directions: Read the passages below and formulate your own counterclaims. Answer
directly and write it on a separate sheet of paper.
Example:
Watching television entertains, educates, and informs. These three factual
advantages developed, giving more and more advantages. The value of family life
could increase when they spent time together, and the ability of television to
entertain supports this condition to happen. There are shows which fit all
generations and could make people happy watching it. When members of the family
watch the shows, they laugh, and a comforting atmosphere is created.
Claim: Watching television strengthens the family relationship.
Counterclaim: It might seem as if watching television strengthens family relationship.

This view sounds convincing at first but watching television prevents the talking, the
games and the family festivities and arguments through which the child’s learning
takes place.
Passage Number 1.
They are certainly right. Sunscreen protects your skin from ultraviolet light
rays. Too much ultraviolet is bad for your skin. If you spend a long time outside
without any sunscreen on, you might get a sunburn because of the ultraviolet rays.

Passage Number 3.
The House of Representatives approved House Bill 6517, or the Philippine

Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act, on its final reading on January 29, 2019.
The bill aims to ―legalize and regulate the medical use of cannabis, ‖ with the overall goal
of making it more accessible for Filipinos.
Once the bill gets enacted, the government will establish Medical Cannabis
Compassionate Centers (MCCC), as well as a Medical Cannabis Research and
Safety Compliance Facility (MCRSCF) for research and testing. These new
institutions will safeguard the distribution and research of medical cannabis in the
country.
