D. ABSTRACTION

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

In our previous lesson, we discussed about

soundness, valid, reasoning, evidences, etc. Now,
let us explore more about soundness of reasoning.

But before that, we have here our learning

outcomes for this lesson. Everybody please read. 1. Distinguish the claim from an evidence and a
factual information from a subjective one.

2. Select carefully the claim and its evidences in a

given text.

3. Identify if the statement is factual or subjective

information.

To judge the soundness of the author’s reasoning Soundness means the quality of being based on
it is important to know some keywords. Somebody valid reasons, good judgment or reasoning.
please read.

Many students have the impression that

informational texts posted on social media are true
and correct. A lot of informational texts are based
on an author’s ideas, beliefs, or opinions that are
sometimes not considered to be sound. This
impression is not always true because
informational texts are based on the author’s
ideas, beliefs, opinions or facts from reliable
sources.

Authors present their ideas and support them with

specific reasons and evidence to convince the
reader. Thus, a reader should evaluate the reasons
and evidence before giving a judgment.
1. Factual information is those that solely
The information used by an author in giving his/her
deal with facts. These are short, non-
reasons or evidence can be classified according to:
explanatory, and rarely give in-depth

Factual information resources are found in
encyclopedias, almanacs, government resources,
or statistics.
background on a topic. These statements
are also those that can be verified or
proven to be true or false.
Examples of Factual Information:

• The Philippines is a republic with a presidential

form of government wherein power is equally
divided among its three branches.

• Philippines is an island country of Southeast Asia

in the western Pacific Ocean.

• Eighty percent (80%) of the 3,866 respondents

aged 13-24 years had experienced some form of
violence in their lifetime.

I hope this one is already clear to you as we

already went over this one in the last lesson.

Now, can somebody read this for me?

2. Subjective content or information are
those which come from only one point of
view. It involves judgment, feeling, opinion,
intuition or emotion rather than factual
information. Opinions are useful to
persuade, but careful readers and listeners
will notice and demand evidence to back
them up.

Subjective information resources are found in

websites containing blogs or vlogs, social media, Examples of Subjective Information:
non-scholarly books and journals or book review.
• “Beautiful Girls” was an entertaining show that
should have never been canceled.

• Yellow is the best color among all the colors.

• Strawberries taste better than blueberries.

We need to analyze the type of information used
by the author in giving reasons and evidence in his
text to understand the purpose of the text – to
persuade, to inform or to entertain.

Readers must not assume that everything in an

informational text is true. Because there was news
last March 2020 saying that banana can cure
Covid-19, it garnered a lot of shares, likes and
comments. Yet that news has been found
misleading and definitely not true. Just because it’s
on the Internet, doesn’t mean it’s true.
We should focus on the author’s main idea. In
addition, they should identify the author’s reasons
and pieces of evidences that support the author’s
belief.

In order to judge the soundness of the author’s

reasoning, the following questions can be
considered: 1. What does the author want the reader to
believe? (CLAIM)

2. How does the author help us believe his/her

statement? (EVIDENCE)

3. Is the supporting evidence strong enough to

support the author’s main idea or belief? (REASON)

Let us use the image of a table.

The table top represents what the author wants

the reader to believe. (In here, you will provide the
author’s claim)

While the table legs represent the supporting

details provided within the text. (These are the
evidences)

Then, you can now judge whether the author’s

reasoning is valid and sound. You must be able to
evaluate the text and judge the quality of author’s
idea by evaluating the supporting evidences. This
is now your reasoning.

The characteristics of a sound reasoning include:

1. The quality of data;

2. The existence of supporting details;

3. The relevance of the additional data; and

4. The existence of additional possible explanations

for your reasons.
We have here an example. Read this text and
observe how to judge the author’s reasoning.

There are a number of significant health risk

associated with smoking. The connection between
smoking and cancer is well known. As well as
smoking is associated to other lung diseases like
emphysema and bronchitis. This was demonstrated
in World Health Organization (WHO), lung cancer is
the most common form of cancer globally with 2.09
million cases recorded in 2018. Data from the
Department of Health (DOH) also reveals that lung
cancer is one of the most common types of cancers
in the Philippines. Smokers have also a higher
chance of developing heart disease. Furthermore,
there is an ample research that even passive
smoking has long term health consequences. Clearly
smoking is a dangerous habit and can be stopped.

On the table that is provided here,

Determine which one is the CLAIM and its

supporting EVIDENCES. There are a number of significant health risk
associated with smoking. (Claim)

-Smoking is associated to other lung diseases like

emphysema and bronchitis.

-This was demonstrated in WHO, lung cancer is the

most common form of cancer globally with 2.09
million cases recorded in 2018.

- Data from DOH also reveals that lung cancer is

one of the most common types of cancers in the
Philippines.

- Smokers have also a higher chance of developing

heart disease. (Evidences)
Wow! You are listening very carefully! Do you still
have any questions, class???
No, ma’am.
You are all excellent today! Thank you, ma’am!

Since you don’t have questions, I will be the one to

ask.

1. What are the two types of information that the

author uses in writing informational texts? - Factual and Subjective, ma’am.

2. In order to judge the soundness of the author’s

reasoning, what were the guide questions that can - The questions were:
be considered?
What does the author want the reader to believe?

How does the author help us believe his/her

statement?

Is the supporting evidence strong enough to

support the author’s main idea or belief? (REASON)

3. What were the characteristics of a sound

reasoning? - The characteristics are:

1. The quality of data;

2. The existence of supporting details;

3. The relevance of the additional data; and

4. The existence of additional possible explanations

for your reasons.

Thank you everyone! You are always listening very

attentively.

E. APPLICATION

MAKE A CLAIM!

To be done in a one whole sheet of paper.

underline the claim in the following passages. Then
circle the statement that shows the reason or
evidence for the claim.

1. People has been less physically active since

pandemic. Experts found out that unsurprisingly,
that almost everyone’s exercise habits changed
when the pandemic started. Instead of walking and
biking in the park, they chose to stay at home for it
save lives and mitigate the spread of virus.

2. As of 2018, the universal health care scheme

protected an estimated 98 percent of the
Philippines' population. This came very close to
achieving the target of universal healthcare
coverage. Insurance is more important than ever in
light of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent
calamities in the Philippines.

3. Tobacco serves different purposes. Some

tobacco products are even sold in health food and
herbal medicine stores. However, The World
Health Organization considers all forms of tobacco
as lethal. Death may result from any tobacco-
related diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular
disease. Smoking mothers may harm their unborn
babies.

4. Loneliness is not the same as aloneness.

Loneliness is a sensation of emptiness, a sense of
something being lost, a suffering, a sadness, a
desire, an incompleteness, and an absence, while
aloneness is a choice of being alone but having the
feeling of fullness, aliveness, and pleasure of
being. In aloneness, you are complete. Nobody is
needed, you are enough.

5. Overwork can also be deadly. Overwork is the

cause of death in about 200 people a year in
Japan. This phenomenon – labelled as karoshi,
“death from overwork” – stretches far beyond
Japan. Chronic overwork has been linked to
obesity, alcoholism, heart diseases, workplace
accidents, drug dependency, anxiety, fatigue,
depression, and many other stress-related
disorders.

VII. ASSIGNMENT

Read the text below and answer the questions that

follow.

Television and Children

Television has become an integral part of a child’s

life. For the last thirty years, it has been
transforming people's lives. It has an effect on
almost every aspect of modern life. Although
television may be used to educate children,
programs with little or no educational value are
commonly on broadcast.

Experts are disturbed about the viewpoint that

children are learning from television; typically,
parents, classrooms, and churches have served as
role models and educators for children.

Since television has such a strong impact on

children's attitudes and behavior, its presence in
culture is growing in importance – it is much more
than a mere leisure practice. According to child
psychologist Robert M. Liebert “the tool has
changed childhood more than any other
psychological breakthrough in the history of the
world.”

Another effect on media is extreme violence

exposure. Children can become more violent as a
result of watching television crime, according to
many reports. Furthermore, when children are
exposed to so much abuse on tv, they grow used
to it as the only alternative to tough circumstances.
Children who are exposed to a lot of violence on
TV may develop apathy toward real aggression.

A study conducted by Ronald S. Drabman has

shown that compared to a control group, children
who watched an aggressive television broadcast
were slower to ask for adult help when a fight
broke out among younger children.

Children are probably influenced by clever ads

directed at them. Dr. Dale Roeck claims that
exposing children to too much high-powered ads of
sugar-rich products on tv puts their oral wellbeing
at risk which, of course, has a detrimental impact
on good diet.

“Almost half of the items that television sells to

kids are products that people who care for kids
believe shouldn't be purchased in the first place,”
according to another expert.

Kids who are very young do not know the

difference between advertisements and
programmes.

2. Write the effects of television to the children.

3. Does the reasoning of the author sound or

valid? Why or Why not?
