o Guys, I appreciate all your answer. Very good.

e. Abstraction

o Moving on to our topic, and since you already guess it.

o When you hear the word facts, what comes into your mind?
o Okay that is right.
o You can think of the word right and correct or sometimes when we hear
this word we automatically think of information.
o Okay moving on to the topic.
o What is fact?
o The facts are those pieces of information that can be described as
verifiable and based on direct observation or experience.
o It means that it is not debatable because there is only one universal
answer to that and cannot be changed by anyone.
o For example, the largest organ is the skin.
o In this example, you cannot change the answer because there is only
one universal answer for that to make this statement correct and if you
are going to change the answer, that would be incorrect because it’s
already been verified by the data according to the scientist.
o Is that clear?
o Can I have someone to volunteer and give a least one example of a
fact information?
o Yes! that’s correct, because according to many sources Mr.
Zuckerberg is the founder of Facebook and launches it on February 4,
2004.
o There are some clues that a statement or a text is indicating a fact
when they show evidence to you, such as giving credible sources from
the researchers. It is not something you heard from others or from your
family members, but it is from legitimate sources that are recognized by
the authorities.
o In today's world, giving information is very important as the world
evolves on social media, where information can be easily manipulated,
and we can be easily deceived by that wrong information spread online
as people become wiser to misleading us. So, before we trust the
information that we gather online, we should do some research on it,
so that if the information is misleading, we can correct it.
o Next is, “Opinion”.
o What is opinion?
o To be concise, an opinion is an expression of belief about something. It
is debatable because this is only based on people's views which
 cannot be verified because this might be incorrect and misleading
information.
o For example, President Duterte is the best president in the Philippines.
o This example demonstrates that some people believe President
Duterte is the best and others do not, which means there is no correct
answer because we do not have the same definition of how the
President handles the country, which is why people are divided about
the President's performance right now because they do not share the
same judgment as others.
o How about you guys, can you give me an example of the statement
showing an opinion?
o Okay, that correct, from that statement, you expressed yourself that
BTS is the best boy band in the whole of which some people may
disagree to this.
o There are also some clues for you to identify if the statement is opinion
such as using the word I think, I believe, I feel, in my opinion, some
people think, my friends think, my parents think, some people claim,
He/she claims.
o Okay class is everything clear! Do you have any clarification related to
our topic?
o Okay very good everyone!

f. Application

o So, guys, I want you to find your partner and what you are going to do
is share anything about facts and opinion from each other and share it
also to the class. There should be only 5 words for facts about him/her
and 5 words for opinion. I will give you 5 minutes to construct your
answer. (20 students are present out of 25)
o Okay, time is up! Let us now hear your answers.
o So, everyone’s answer is correct, and it was fun activity.
