reasoning based and was supported of an
idea, action or theory.

structural patterns and has language features
to create a strong construction of ideas in

B. Motivation

Now, let us have a short activity before we

begin to our new lesson. This game is called
“ Is it a Fact or Bluff”

All you need to do is to answer each

statement if it is Fact or a Bluff by raising the (Students will go to their respective group)
choices given to you.

But before that, I will divide you into 3

groups. This will be the group 1, group 2 and
group 3.

(the teacher will distribute to each group the

two choices made out of paper)

Or

So here’s the catch, every statement contains

2 points each. Your groups’ score will be

Excellentt!

Now class, what have you noticed about the

activity? Sir!

Yes, Faye! Sir, it tells us about the truth and a bluff.

Yes, that’s right!

What makes the statements a fact or a bluff? Sir!

Yes, Cristel! Sir, I think the statements could confirm if it

is a fact or bluff through supporting details.
Very Good!

Who else has an idea? Sir!

Yes, Vincent! Sir! It will become a fact if it proven and

bluff if it just an opinion nor not proven.
Excellent answer!

Do you believe those facts and information? Yes, Sir because these information are
proven.
Very good!

Now, what do you call a statement that

persuades, and convinces the readers? (Students will give their guess)

Who can guess the answer? Sir, it’s a claim.

Very Good!
 C. Presentation

Today class, we will be discussing about

Claim.
Then, who wants to define Claim with his/her
own words? Sir!

Yes, Vivien! Sir, a claim is an arguable statement that

defines your goal of the essay.
Very Good!

Who else has an idea? Sir!

Yes, Alexis! It is the central statement of a text where the

writer tries to prove his points by providing
details, explanations and other types of
evidence.
Very well said!

In the simplest term, claims are the pieces of

evidence that writers and speakers used to
prove their point

Let’s see this example given.

Instagram is owned by Facebook.

The sentence became a claim because this

seeks for details and explanations meaning
this let us think and argue.

Can you give an example? Sir!

Yes, Cristel! Tawa-tawa is the cure for Covid-19.

Covid-19 is deadly.
(The students will assessed the statement Covid-19 and flu spread in similar ways.
given if it is correct or not)

Excellent!

The following are the Characteristics of

Good Claim.

Kindly read? Sir!

Yes, Alexis! Characteristics of a Good Claim

1. A claim should be argumentative and
debatable.
( the teacher will explain the characteristics
of a good claim)
I have a sentence here; “Smoking is
dangerous to one’s health”may I ask
anyone if this statement is a good claim?
Why?
2. A claim should be specific and focus.
3. A claim should be interesting and
engaging.
4. A good claim should be logical.
Sir!

Yes, Renalyn? Sir, I think the statement is not good claim,

yet it is specific, interesting topic and even
logical but it’s not debatable.
Very well Said!

Why class? Sir!

Yes, Dave! Sir, because smoking is already proven to be

dangerous in our health.
Very good!

Because smoking is already proven to be

dangerous in one’s health so we should avoid
this in persuasive and argumentative writing.

D. Discussion

When we say claim, it has its types. Let’s

start!

Actually, there are three types of claims.

These are also called propositions of Fact,
Value and Policy in your Text.

First, Claim of Fact

Kindly read? Sir!

Yes, Dave! A claim of fact makes an assertion about

something that can be proved or disproved
with factual evidence So a claim of fact for a
logical argument cannot simply consist of a
statistic or proven fact. It needs, instead, to
focus on an assertion which uses facts to
back it up, but for which the evidence might
still be debatable

Claim of fact- the statements that report,

describe, predict or make casual claims.
However, keep in mind the basic quality of
claims that they have to be debatable, and
offer an assertion about an issue.

Can you give an example? Sir!

Yes, Jennycris! Converting to solar energy can save

homeowners money.

Teens who engage in promiscuous,

unprotected sex will develop STDs, become
pregnant, and/or contract AIDS.

Vaping can lead to increased blood pressure,

lung disease, and insulin resistance.

Excellent answers!

Second, Claim of Value… kindly read? Sir!

Yes, Melissa Claim of Value- Makes a judgment: Express

approval or disapproval about something;
attempts to show that something is wrong or
right, moral/immoral, beautiful or ugly.\
A claim of value argues that something is
good or bad, or that one thing is better than
another thing.

Who can give examples? Sir!

Yes, Melissa! Safety is more important than freedom.

It’s better to apply good nutritional choices at

home than teach them at school, because
good nutrition then becomes ingrained in the
child’s experience.

Awesome answers!

Lastly, Claim of Policy… please read? Sir!

Yes, Jamaica! Claim of Policy- argues that something

should or should not be done, believed,
banned; argues for a course of action.
In other words, A claim of policy argues that
certain conditions should exist, or that
something should or should not be done, in
order to solve a problem.

Kindly, give an example? Sir!

Yes, Jobel!
Very good! All your answers are correct!
