LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 1 IN ENGLISH 10

WEEK 4 LESSON 4: Opinion or Assertion
MELC 11: Formulate a statement of opinion or assertion
Concept:
These two concepts often cause confusion among students because different references view
them in a number of different ways. Technically, an opinion is defined as a view, judgment, or
appraisal drawn from facts. It is usually a concept or impression based on factual evidence.
Opinions can change often and usually reflect one person. For example, the sentence “The
Philippines is one of the best tourist destinations on the planet” may be considered an opinion
which may be drawn from facts and data showing the number of tourists coming in and out of the
country on a specific period as compared to the records of other countries.
An assertion, on the other hand, is a declaration or expression of strong belief towards a
particular topic, often without evidence. It usually includes forceful or confident and positive
statements regarding a belief or a fact. In contrast to an opinion, an assertion, which is usually
subjective, expresses vindication, mostly with no support or evidences. For example, the sentence
“The Philippines is the happiest country in the world” is an assertion because it is subjective and
not founded on factual evidences.
DIRECTIONS: Using this worksheet, differentiate opinion from assertion using graphic organizer

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 2 IN ENGLISH 10

WEEK 4 LESSON 4: Opinion or Assertion
MELC 11: Formulate a statement of opinion or assertion
Concept:
In English, an assertion is usually formulated after activities like exploring reading materials, such
as stories or poems, or viewing a play. Assertions are usually written in order for a writer to convey
his or her ideas or feelings towards a particular work of literature, and convince or influence the
readers to taking and agreeing with his/her ideas or views.
When one intends to write assertions in literature, it is imperative to, first and foremost, fully
understand the particular literary work where assertions will be based. This way, the writer may be
able to identify which parts he/she supports and which parts he/she is against. A writer who is
planning to come up with assertions may also find collecting evidences from other writers a helpful
thing.
