LET’S START THE FUN LEARNING

Good day, our dear learners! We will now start your first module for the third quarter. I hope
that you will not forget everything that you’ve learned from the previous quarters. Before we begin, let
us ask first the guidance from our Heavenly Father so you’ll have the knowledge and understanding
to fully comprehend this lesson. Let us pray “Our Father” or you can say your own prayer.

In this module, you are going to learn the claims explicitly or implicitly made in a written text and also
context in which a text was developed. Are you ready? Let’s begin!

LET’S LEARN
LET’S START THE FUN LEARNING ADVENTURE!
CLAIM

A claim is a statement that is not considered accepted by all. It may be unverified or

controversial to a certain degree. It is usually related to one side of the issue. Claim is also
called a position. A claim is argumentative and specific.

Types of Claims

1. Claim of Fact (COF)

Claim of Facts relate to statements that can be easily verified and not dependent on a person's
preference. It also asserts that a condition has existed, is existing, or will exist and are based
on facts or data. *Facts that are universally accepted are not considered claim of fact but
instead a statement of fact.

Claims of fact are often qualified by such terms as generally, probably, or as a rule. And, to
verify whether these statements are claim of fact or not, ask these questions: Is it debatable?
Is it verifiable? Is it specific? Can it be solved objectively?

Claim of Fact

Earth is warming rapidly.

Probably, other international Courts will side the Philippines too.

Generally, obesity causes health problems.

Probably, aliens exist.

Probably, Santa Claus is real.

Statement of Fact

Typhoon Carina intensifies its speed and rain volume.

The first Philippine Mindanaoan President is Duterte.

 Death is inevitable.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the moon.

2. Claim of Value (COV)

Claim of Value involves judgments and evaluations. It judges whether something is good/bad,
right/wrong, just/unjust, ethical/non-ethical, etc. We judge the worth of something. It attempts
to prove that some things are more or less desirable than others.

Some claims of value are simply expressions of taste, preferences, and prejudices. The most
important in proving claim of value is by establishing standards of evaluation.

Claim of Value

It is wrong to make noise when someone is speaking.

Gay marriage is immoral.

 It is better to be feared than loved.

Cheating is not good.

No ID rule is a good idea.

Buying a house is a lot better than building it.

3. Claim of Policy (COP)

3|Page
 Advocates a specific course of action. It asserts that specific policies should be instituted as
solutions to problems.

Claims of policy argue that certain conditions should exist. Almost always "should" or "ought
to" or "must" are included in this claim.

Claim of Policy

The mayor should suspend the classes today.

I should vote for Duterte.

You must send your children to private schools.

 The government should legalize medicinal marijuana.

The Boy Scouts should not have to include gay scout leaders.

Local Malls should provide more parking spaces.

CONTEXT OF TEXT DEVELOPMENT: INTERTEXT & HYPERTEXT

Intertext

refers to the shaping of the text meaning by referencing or calling to mind other texts as it aims
to add meaning to the current text.

In intertextuality, the readers get to understand the piece through parallel plot, characters,
premise, etc. with the wealth of the prior knowledge, experience, and research.

Types of Intertextuality

1. Quotation - it is the actual insertion of a text within another

2. Travesty - is a practice of imitation an original text

a) Pastiche - rewriting of some ‘noble’ text as a new text that retains the fundamental content
but presents it in another style in order to ‘debase’ it.

b) Parody - retaining the stylistic properties of the original text while diverting its subject

3. Copy - it is a performance that aims at being closest possible imitation of a pre-existent,

usually recorded performance

4. Covering it is a rendering a previously recorded song that displays the usual stylistic
configurations of the covering artist.

5. Translation - it is a creation of new text from a text of different language

6. Reply - an answer to the original text

7. Instrumental Cover - Instrumental/allosonic rendering of a previously recorded song where

the main vocal line has been replaced by an instrumental melodic line.

8. Instrumental remix: a remix of the original song from which the leading voice has simply
been removed.

Hypertext

is characterized by external links embedded in a text by the writer as it enables the reader to
arrive at the intended interpretation of the author

In online medium, hypertexts are the embedded links; while in print media, these are the
commentaries or footnotes in the margin.

portal for your home city or province, how would you declare that what you’re reading is in fact
helpful and might be called a “good read” in your field? Cite the latest article about the
pandemic and give a critique on it to help your fellow writers in writing a good article.
