You are on page 1/ 2

Now let's have an initial activity to test our knowledge about things and at the same time, to energize

our bodies. Are


you familiar with FACT OR BLUFF?

Alright! I have here the words "fact" and "bluff". I will give these to you after you have your groupings finalized. So
basically, I will divide the class directly into two groups.
This part right here is group 1 and on the left side is the group 2.

Listen attentively to my instruction class...

You are then going to identify some statements as FACT or BLUFF. Each group must have one representative who is
going to raise your winning word. So after I recite the statement, I will give you 30 seconds to decide with your group
mates. Reminder, there is no changing of answer once you've shown your word and on my cue, raise the word FACT
if you think that the statement is factual and BLUFF if the statement is misleading.

Is everything clear?

Very well, team up with your group now and prepare for the game.

Let's begin!
(The teacher will recite the statements one by one with 30-second time in between each statement sentence. Correct
answer will be given and further explained by the teacher itself at the end of the round.)

1. The Amazon Rainforest produces 20% of the world's oxygen.


2. The shortest war in history lasted only 38 minutes.
3. The Earth's core is primarily composed of iron and nickel.
4. Penguins can jump up to 6 feet in the air.
5. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world.
6. A group of flamingos is called a "flamboyance."
7. Lightning never strikes the same place twice.
8. Fact or Bluff: The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows.
9. Honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years
old and still perfectly edible.
10. Octopuses have three hearts.

How did you arrive at your answers?


Did you have confusions on which statements were fact or bluff? Why? Why should we be critical in what we read? 

Now that I have learned your opinion, what do you think is our lesson today? Okay, so at the end of the lesson, you
are expected to:

Do you think sentence 1 is almost the same as “I love you so much”


Perhaps!
Some people directly or indirectly express their feelings. They don’t say I love you but the way they say or do imply
that they love the person.
When you know explicit and implicit information this will help you evaluate a claim made by an author and it will
help you recognize the writers argument and evidence so you can begin judging the writers works.
Try to look at the title of the book.
 Who is the author?
 What do you think is the opinion of the author?
 Do you think she is bias because she is a woman?

Reading is an active skill and you need to interact with the author. You need to find yourself looking for point or
position regarding the chosen topic. The point is also known as CLAIM.
Policy Claims: These claims propose a course of action or advocate for a specific policy change. They focus on what
should be done or what action should be taken. Policy claims often involve expressing opinions or making
recommendations regarding laws, regulations, or procedures. For example, "The government should implement
stricter regulations on carbon emissions to combat climate change."
Value Claims: Value claims express judgments about what is good or bad, desirable or undesirable, right or wrong.
They are subjective and based on personal or societal values. These claims often involve evaluating the worth or merit
of something. For instance, "Access to affordable healthcare is a fundamental human right."
Fact Claims: Fact claims assert the truth or falsity of a statement. They can be proven or disproven based on
evidence, data, or empirical research. Fact claims deal with objective reality and are not influenced by personal beliefs
or opinions. Examples include "The Earth orbits the Sun" or "Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at sea level."
