4. Presentation. Our lesson this morning is about distinguishing between general
and specific statement. But before that, let us first define what a sentence is.

5. Discussion. A sentence is a group of words or phrases that form a statement. A

statement that gives information is classified into general and specific statement.

What is general statement? General statement is a sentence that defines or

declares some large and broad information. It does not describe one particular
event. It is usually expressed as the general idea of a piece of writing.

Meanwhile, specific statement refers to the exact and precise description. It

provides evidence to further define the general idea or general statement. Being
able to recognize whether a statement is specific or general is a key to understand
how sentences operate in the given statement.

Study the example below:

Main
Idea Land Transportation

Related
Bicycle, tricycle, motorcycle
Words

In the given example, the general statement is Land Transportation because it

embodies all the vehicles that can be found on land. The specific statement that is
related to land transportation are bicycle, tricycle and motorcycle.

Now let’s give it a try. This time, you are going to supply the main idea on the
following sets of related words.
Main Idea Related Words
Mt. Mayon, Mt. Pinatubo, Mt. Taal
Main Idea
Guitar, piano, drums
Mercury, Earth, Mars Mountain

Musical Instruments
Happy, mad, excited
Planets

emotions
Impressive! In the given activity, you will find that the words on related words
column provide evidence to further define the words on the main idea column.

Planet, for example is more general than the words Mercury, Earth and Mars.
There are many words that can be classified as planets other than the words
mentioned earlier like Jupiter and Venus. Therefore, the examples given are the
specific ideas or related words of the word planet.

Let us do an activity. Read the following pair of statement.

1. a. The doctors are heroes of pandemic.
 b. Dr. Salvador from Bataan Hospital treats Covid-19 patient.

What is the difference between the first and the second sentence? (applied a range
of teaching strategies to develop critical and creative thinking, as well as other
HOTS skills, Objective 3)
The 1st sentence is more
Correct! The first sentence is a general statement for it covers broad categories or general than the second
group of people like “doctors”. Second sentence is very specific as it talks about a sentence.
particular individual named “Dr. Salvador” which supports the first statement
“Doctors are heroes of pandemic.”

Let us have these other examples:

1. a. Nurse expands lives as frontline members of health care.

b. Nurse Mary provides hope and care to their patient.

What sentence gives the general statement?

What sentence gives the specific statement?

2. a. A teacher helps people to learn. Sentence A

b. An English teacher is responsible for ensuring that pupils learn proper Sentence B
grammar, writing and reading comprehension.

In this number, what sentence gives the general statement?

How about the sentence that gives specific statement?

Statements are classified as general and specific. General statement expresses the Sentence A
main point while specific statement provides evidence that define the general Sentence B
statement.

Do you have any question?

6. Generalization. Before we proceed with our differentiated group activity, let us None ma’am.
first wrap up what we have discussed today. From our discussion, we can say that
statements are classified as general and specific. General statement expresses the
main point while specific statement provides evidence that define the general
statement.

Did you understand the concept of distinguishing between general and specific
statements?

7. Application. Now, let us have a group activity but with individual output since Yes ma’am.
we have to maintain social distancing. (Objective 6, Use differentiated,
