Competency

ideas, soundness of author’s
reasoning, and the effectiveness of
the presentation.
Objectives
 form judgment or opinion on
different social issues; and

 evaluate a text based on the

relevance of ideas, author’s logical
reasoning and the presentation of
evidence.
 Introduction
Every time you are immersed in any form of
argument, your main goal is to prove that
your point is more plausible than the
opposing party.

Well, other than the manner of presenting

ideas, the validity of the evidence matters.

In our previous lessons, you were taught how

to judge the validity of the evidence listened
to.
To understand the validity of the information, it must have
the following characteristics:
1. true, 4. Logical
2. on topic, 5. can be supported, and
3. reasonable 6. important.

To understand evidence, there must be:

1. facts 3. information that backs something up, and
2. proof 4. information that supports a
claim.
 Everyday, we are exposed to various
forms of verbal and non-verbal
communication in different platforms.

Some go with your personal

perspective about the matter, others do
not. These different opinions usually are
offshoots of the facts at hand.
 Therefore, it is normal that conflicts
of ideas or opinions may pop-up
occasionally.

It is therefore imperative for you to

be critical and fair in judging the
relevance, logic and effectiveness of
the presentation of the information you
receive so as to react fairly.
 Here are some key questions to consider
during your assessment:

 Is the information significant in building up

the claim?
 Are the reasons and evidences sufficient,
valid, and factual?
 Are there sources being cited?
 Is the manner of presentation simple and
clear, allowing you to grasp the main point with
ease?
Pre-Activity

choose which side to take on a certain

classmates or argument among family
