B. Analysis

Before we continue, let us first

differentiate ASSERTION and
OPINION.

(Back to the power point presentation)

Assertion - An assertion is a
declaration that's made emphatically,
especially as part of an argument or as (the students will read the meaning

“To assert is to state with force. So if

someone makes an assertion, they’re
not just trying out an idea — they
really mean it.”

“You may write it in your notes or

you may take pictures of the slides but
be warned that your phones should The students will get their pens and
only be used to take notes.” papers and phones

“How can we know if they are making

an assertion?”
The students will jot down notes
“When someone makes a statement
investing his strong belief in it, as if it
is true, though it may not be, he is
making an assertion.”

Opinion – An opinion is a belief or

How to simply spot an opinion?

Opinion is a statement that reflects the

view or idea that someone has about a
particular topic.

It is usually starts with the following:

- In my point of view,
- In my perspective,
- For me,
- I think

“What are these logos all about?” The students will look at the logos
and identify each of them.

“Indeed. Very good!” “These logos are from different

social media sites”

opinion and assertion has an effect on
us, particularly in this day and age
where our lives are entangled with the Yes, Sir!
