B. Presenting Activity 1. “What did you say?”
New Lesson
The students will look at the photo and identify the person in the photo.
They will then read the following statements.
C. Establishing A The teacher will ask them these questions:
Purpose for the ● What do you think the first statement expresses?
New Lesson ● What do you think the second statement expresses?
● What do you call the thought, belief or judgment that a person
has about something or someone?
● What do you call a strong declaration regarding a belief or a
fact?
Expressing an opinion and an assertion are needed in daily lives. We use
these to express what we think and feel without the intention of hurting
other's feelings.
Expressing these two is different from arguing or aggressiveness.
D. Discussion Opinion
Opinion is a thought, belief or judgment that a person or a group of
people have about something or someone which is based mainly on their
beliefs. It may also be a judgment made by an expert.
● Statements of opinion usually start with signal phrases such as I
think or I believe and have words like best, worst, beautiful,
outstanding or should.
● Statements of opinion have to do with one’s preferences or
emotions.
● No independently verifiable evidence of this statement's truth or
accuracy exists.
Personal Opinion
This is an individual’s point of view or idea towards someone or
something. It is one's stand on a certain issue or topic.
Assertion
Assertion is an artistic method involving a strong declaration, a forceful
or confident and positive statement regarding a belief or a fact. Often, it
is without proof or any support. Its purpose is to express ideas or feelings
directly.
● Statements of assertion do not start with a phrase I think or I
believe.
● Statements of assertion are considered as declarations, as if
they were true even though they may not be.
Difference of opinion from assertion
Opinion is somewhat similar to assertion in a way that both express
idea/s about someone or something.
These two differ from one another in a way that opinion is an
interpretation, a finding or assessment whether it is asked or just heard.
If an opinion cannot be proven as true and a fact is true, a statement
that is somewhat true and somewhat false is called assertion. An
assertion may be somewhat similar to an opinion (that is, a belief of
someone) but it can be proven as true or false. It is a declaration
of the person’s belief and may be proven as true or false.
Types of Assertion
1. Basic Assertion
- It is a simple and direct statement for expressing feelings,
opinions, and beliefs.
Examples:
I wish I could have expressed this idea earlier, because now
someone else has taken the credit.
Excuse me, first I want to finish my work, then I shall go with you.
2. Emphatic Assertion
- It conveys empathy to someone, and usually has two parts: the
first contains recognition of the feelings or situations of the other
person, and the second expresses care and support for the other
person's feelings or rights.
Examples:
I understand you are busy, and I am too, but it is difficult for me
to finish this project on my own. So, I want you to help me
complete this project.
I know this is making you angry and frustrated because you have
not gotten a response yet. But I can help you by giving you an
estimate of how long it might take.
3. Escalating Assertion
- It happens when someone is not able to respond to a person's
basic assertions. As a result, that person becomes firm about him
or her.
Examples:
If you do not finish this work by 6:00 tonight, I will engage the
services of another worker.
I really want to finish this point before you start yours.
4. Language Assertion
- This uses the first person pronoun "I". This is used for expressing
negative feelings but this is helpful in laying emphasis on a
person's feelings of anger and a solution is suggested.
Examples:
When you speak harshly to me, I cannot talk and move as usual
because I feel embarrassed. Therefore, I want you to speak in a low
tone and then give me a task.
When I don't get enough sleep, it affects my patience and self-
control. Therefore, I try to sleep earlier.
E. Activities Activity 3. “Categorizing”
The students will carefully read the statements below. They will then
categorize the statements into: opinions and assertions.
Statements:
● My last summer was the best summer ever.
● I think my car payments are too expensive.
● Art lifts a human spirit.
● An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
● The legal age for drinking should be lowered to
sixteen.
