English 9 Quarter 3 Week 8
ORGANIZING A DOCUMENTARY
Name: _____________________________________________________ Section: ____________________
Learning Objective:
 MELC – Judge the validity of the evidence listened to. (EN9LC-IVh-215)

 Organize a documentary where evidence/s are pointed out.
 Time Allotment: 60 minutes,5 days a week (Q3 W8 Day 1).
Key Concepts
When writing an argumentative, analytical, or persuasive essay, prove your argument by including
evidence. What counts as “evidence” depends on the genre, discipline, and assignment, but most
common evidence in academic papers comes in the form of quotations, paraphrases, and real-life
examples. All evidence should be clear and relevant both to your paragraph’s argument and to your
overall thesis statement.
To use evidence clearly and effectively within a paragraph, you can follow this simple three-step
process: 1) introduce the evidence, 2) state the evidence, and 3) explain the main message you are
emphasizing through the evidence. To create a complete, rich paragraph, you should also begin
with a claim and end with a link to the thesis statement.
Before the Evidence: Making a Claim

First, make an assertion. Ideally, the paragraph’s topic sentence will assert a claim.
Example: Adolph Hitler’s writings reinforce the belief that there is no objective reality;
instead, a person creates his or her own reality.
1. Introducing the Evidence

Never drop in a quotation or other evidence without introducing it first. Instead, include a
sentence or phrase that prepares the reader for the evidence. Some common introductory
phrases include According to <author> , According to <source> , <Author> states, <Author>
writes,<Author> concludes, <Author> attests, and so on.
Example: In Mein Kampf, Hitler asserts,
2. Stating the Evidence

Next, state your evidence. If your evidence is a quotation, carefully copy the quote word for word
from the source and place it within quotation marks. If your evidence is a paraphrase or
anecdote, stating it might take up more space; state the paraphrase or anecdote as clearly and
succinctly as possible.
Example: “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it often enough, it will be believed.”
3. Explaining the Evidence

Immediately after you state the evidence, explain the underlying message or main idea you, as
the writer, are trying to emphasize to the audience.

This step can be very challenging! To find ideas about how to explain your evidence, ask
yourself the following questions: Tip: It’s okay if you

example. Remember,
 Is there anything about the original author’s main idea
that can be applied to your assertion? not everyone thinks
 Is there anything about this quote or example the same as you! It is
that wouldn’t be obvious to all readers? better to

Draw the reader’s attention to those parts. underexplain.
Example: By describing the lie as “big,” Hitler emphasizes that determination and perseverance can
help a person accomplish even unrealistic goals. In his mind, objective reality has no importance;
instead, what matters is what people believe—no matter how big the lie.
 After the Evidence: Linking to Your Statement

To make your essay coherent or understandable, each new idea should relate to the overall
idea of the essay. After you explain evidence, you should also show how it relates to your essay’s
statement.
Example (for a paper whose main idea is that reality is socially constructed): Sometimes
creating one’s own reality means creating a reality for others as well, as Hitler illustrates. Because
we are susceptible to believing repeated lies, each individual’s reality is dependent on others.
Example of the Final Product

Adolph Hitler’s writings reinforce the belief that there is no objective reality; instead, a person
creates his or her own reality. In Mein Kampf, Hitler asserts, “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it
often enough, it will be believed.” By describing the lie as “big,” Hitler emphasizes that determination
and perseverance can help a person accomplish even unrealistic goals. In his mind, objective reality
has no importance; instead, what matters is what people believe—no matter how big the lie.
Sometimes creating one’s own reality means creating a reality for others as well, as Hitler illustrates.
Because we are susceptible to believing repeated lies, each individual’s reality is dependent on
others.

ACTIVITY 5 :
Directions: Read the essay. Then answer the questions.
Why I Hate Facebook
The use of social networking sites, in particular Facebook, can not only skew your
understanding of reality, it can cause you actual, physical harm. According to Jean Conklin, a
clinical psychiatrist at University of Maryland Hospital, in Baltimore, “Facebook is to your mind
what sugar is to your body – bad all around.”
The main reason we all ought to stop looking at Facebook is because it makes us think that
the people in our lives (or virtually in our lives, anyway) are happier, more fulfilled and more
successful than they probably are; which makes us feel more depressed, frustrated and unfulfilled
than we probably are. Why? Think about it. How quickly do people post good news to Facebook?
Exotic vacations; engagements, anniversary parties, raises, promotions. . . when was the last time
you read that the devastatingly handsome new boyfriend of your college roommate is actually a
recovering alcoholic, or that the new six‐figure job that your old friend got two months ago didn’t
last two weeks because it turns out she didn’t have the people skills required to make it work?
“Thinking that everyone else is doing better in life than you are isn’t motivating,” says Clint White,
career counselor with My New Job, Inc. “It’s depressing, and can be debilitating for some people,
who think there’s something wrong with them because they have problems in their life that no one
else seems to have.” Mr. White cited fifty‐ four clients in the past year alone whom he has seen who
were seeking a career change for no reason other than that they didn’t believe that they measuring
up to their Facebook peers.
As if the psychological problems weren’t enough, Facebook triggers a stress response in the
body, even if you don’t think or realized that you are stressed out. Studies have shown that reading
new information on Facebook triggers the release of glucocorticoid (cortisol), your body’s stress
hormone. This messes with your immune system, and prevents the release of growth hormones,
and all these things keep your body in a state of chronic stress. If you have digestive problems; if
your hair or nails grow very slowly and it takes forever for cuts and scrapes to heal; if you feel
irritable and nervous, or are susceptible to every virus and bacteria that cruises through town, you
may not need a trip to the doctor―you many just need to delete your Facebook page. People
survived for hundreds of years in an industrial society without the necessity of blasting out every
intimate detail of their lives to everyone with whom they’ve ever crossed paths, or with whom that
person has ever crossed paths. . . a real relationship encompasses the good and the bad, and
includes genuine human to human interaction. So shut down the computer. Go out to lunch with a
friend. Call your mother. Take your kid to the zoo. And for goodness sake, don’t post anything on
Facebook about it when you get back!
