Review: Teacher briefly reviews the lesson yesterday (Types of Claims)
Motivation: The teacher will show a paragraph on th screen and allows the entire class to read it aloud.
Eastern Samar is an underdeveloped place and is one of the most disaster-prone places in the Philippines. Because of poverty,
residents are forced to live in high-risk place, which makes them prone to disasters. Disasters in Eastern Samar affect a large number of people
by destroying their houses, farmlands, livelihoods, and other personal assets.
Question: What issue is given focus by the writer makes to support the conclusion about the relation of poverty to disaster?
Activity (New Concept and Skills) The teacher will present inputs on CRITICAL READING AS REASONING
Critical reading is engaging in analytic activity which involves the reader by asking questions about the text and the author’s
claim. Critical readers are doing the process of evaluating, analyzing, and interpreting the assertion of the hidden meaning of the
whole text.
While reasoning as defined by Merriam Webster dictionary is an act of giving statements for justification and explanation. It is the
ability of someone to defend something by giving out reasons.
Therefore, when reading critically, it is necessary to question the different arguments used by the author, as any problem can
weaken the authenticity of the conclusion.
Steps Used in Critical Reading As Reasoning by Maxine Rafaella C. Rodriguez and Marella Therese A. Tiongson
1. Identifying assertions
Identify by a common type of assertion such as fact, convention, opinion and preference
2. Formulating counterclaim
Counterclaims are made to rebut a previous claim
3. Determining evidence
Evidence is the details given by the authors to support his/her claims
Example
You are asking your father for an android cellphone, that is your claim. Then your father answers you. “No, you can’t!” this
is his counterclaim. He might say that you already have a cellphone.
Therefore when you are going to formulate reason for the counterclaim, you should state the reason why you are asking
for an android cellphone. You might say that you could use it in your online classes because Android cellphone would be very
useful in this new normal classroom set-up.
When you write your counterclaim, you are expressing unfavorable statements. Therefore it is needed to use hedges
words or phrases to be able to give a courteous tone.
Different forms of hedges
Modals: may, could, would, should, might, certain, must, etc. Frequency adverbs: usually, generally, commonly Probability adverbs:
probably, possibly, presumably
Example: The common colds caused by a virus.
With hedges:
The common colds must be caused by a virus.
The common virus is certain to be caused by a virus.
Analysis. The teacher will ask the following questions to solicit ideas from the learners:
1. What do you think is the impact when a person think critically?
2. What happens if you don’t?
Then, the teacher will consolidate the answers of the students and lead them more to the lesson.
Abstraction. The teacher will also ask the students to answer the questions written:
1. What is critical reading?
2. What are the steps in using critical reading as reasoning?
3. List all characteristics of a critical reader based on our lesson today.
4. Now that you know all about critical reading as reasoning, do you think you can stand more with
your viewpoint?
5. How will you apply it in real life?
Application: The class is divided into 3 and will have a debate with one to another. Each group must convince one group to agree
with their reasons.
IV Evaluation: This quiz are expected to be given today after the group presentation.
Direction: Write the letter of the best answer on your answer sheet.
