WORKSHEET #1

I. Topic: Evaluating Written Texts by Analyzing Claims

II. Content Standards


The learner understands the relationship of a written text and the context in which it
was developed.

III. Objectives: In this worksheet, the students will be able to…


a. …determine the main point of each paragraph; and
b. …write an insight on how important a claim is in an essay or any academic
paper.

ACTIVITY 1
Procedures / Instructions
Identify the main point of each paragraph. Write your answer on the space provided. (2
pts. each)

1. Digital piracy is not killing the music industry. History has shown that formats shift and
change depending on consumer preferences. LPs and cassettes have been phased out
to make room for CDs. With the current shift from physical to digital, consumers have the
freedom to purchase individual tracks instead of whole albums, a move that explains the
drop in album sales and as a result, overall profits.

4
2. Like sharks, snakes and spiders, piranhas are widely feared. Although most people
consider piranhas to be quite dangerous, they are, for the most part, entirely harmless.
Piranhas rarely feed on large animals; they eat smaller fish and aquatic plants. When
confronted with humans, piranhas’ first instinct is to flee, not attack. Their fear of humans
makes sense. Far more piranhas are eaten by people than people are eaten by piranhas.
If the fish are well-fed, they won’t bite humans.

3. Pollution affects the quality of life more than one can imagine. It works in mysterious ways,
sometimes which cannot be seen by the naked eye. However, it is very much present in
the environment. For instance, you might not be able to see the natural gases present in
the air, but they are still there. Similarly, the pollutants which are messing up the air and
increasing the levels of carbon dioxide is very dangerous for humans. Increased levels of
carbon dioxide will lead to global warming.

4. When a camera flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject's eyes may appear
red in the finished photograph. What is known as "red-eye" is the result of light from the
flash reflecting off the pupils of the eyes. The phenomenon of red-eye can be lessened
by using the red-eye reduction feature found on many SLR cameras. This feature
activates a lamp which shines a small light directly into the subject's eyes. When this
happens, the diameter of the pupil is reduced, thus tightening the opening in the iris. Since
a smaller pupil means a smaller host for the reflection, the chances of red-eye occurring
are greatly reduced.

5. People do it every day. They log on to their favorite website and browse for hours,
checking out bargains. They dump every possible wish into their shopping carts, knowing
they can cast each one aside before they finalize their purchases. On the way, they may
enter a sweepstakes in the hopes of winning a trip to Cabo San Lucas, or maybe even a
new SUV. And then, when they have decided on their purchases, they enter private
information without giving it a thought. With a keystroke, they release their personal data
into what may or may not be a secure zone. Despite what much of the public believes,
internet shopping is not safe.
