Unaith, which the most essential learning competency is to react to what is asserted
or expressed in a text. In this 21st century era, everyone tends to read, to write, and to
speak what's in their mind. People may agree or disagree. It is because reacting to a
text or an issue means giving worthy assertions. When you say assertions, they are
statements that people may approve or disapprove with. Assertions do not necessarily
mean they are generally facts. Also, they pertain to one's stand on an issue, topic, or
subject. Whether you like it or not, There are times that you have to give your reaction
to what is asserted or expressed by someone.
It may be your family, classmates, or friends. It could be in the book or pamphlets that
you have read. In short, this is an opportunity for everyone to know what and how
they feel in an asserted or expressed idea. It is also good to note that when you react,
It will always involve critical thinking, deep understanding, and careful judgment
especially on what is being expressed. In giving your reaction, it is important to tell
whether you agree or disagree to what is asserted or expressed in the text. I agree with
what the author stated. I do not agree what the author stated. Share what you agree
or disagree with. I also believe that we should help in planting.

Let's begin! First, let's play a game. It's called Draw Me. The given statements are
assertions. React to each assertion by drawing an emoticon that corresponds to your
answer. The emoticons are... Happy Sad Loved Confused and... And great. Are you
ready? Let's do this. The first assertion is, my grandmother said that doctors are the
smartest people on the planet. Number two, absolutely. Chocolate ice cream is the alltime favorite. And number three, our school is going to implement face-to-face classes

any illness. Next, we have reaction. It is an action taken in response to something.
Making reactions will allow readers to express their thoughts and feelings about the
text or situations presented. One can decide to agree or disagree on the text given. A
sample reaction is, Truly, I eat an apple every day and I don't get sick easily. Now,

Exactly, Really, Truly, And yes, for negative reactions, almost, invalidly, no, or not,
probably, scarcely, contradictorily, never, no longer, and rarely. Meanwhile, let's take
note of these things to remember in reacting to assertions made by the author and the
text. Read and understand the text, analyze the assertion made by the author, state
your reaction clearly, and support your ideas and opinions by explaining your stand.
Let us examine the following examples. Assertion. Drinking a glass of milk can make
our bones and teeth healthy and strong. The reaction. Yes, I drink a glass of milk
every day and it makes my bones and teeth healthy and strong. Another example, My
friend Sheila invites me to eat at Arcee's since it is the best fast food in town.
The reaction? No, I will not go with her because my mother said that it is not safe in
there. Besides, it is not the best fast food in town. Now that we're done, let's try this
activity. Get a piece of paper, And let's do this! The following statements are
assertions. Give the possible reaction by choosing the letter of the best answer. Are

Philippines' beauty like us. Amazing! Thank you for your reactions. You all did great.
And for that, you earned another gold coin. What are those statements when you

will be?
Correct! It is Assertion! Here are our objectives for this episode. Define Assertion Name
and define each type of assertion and its expressions. give the appropriate assertion
on statements that present a specific point of view, and write an assertion on
statements that present a specific point of view using a type of assertion. Also, you will

assertion? Assertion is when someone makes a statement investing his strong belief in
it, as if it's true, though it may not be. It is a stylistic approach or technique involving
a strong declaration, a forceful or confident and positive statement regarding a belief
or a fact.
or feelings directly example excuse me first i want to finish my work then i shall go
with you this example shows that the person who said this made a statement of a
strong feelings he has. Remember, when you voice out your beliefs and opinions and
express the strong feelings, you are asserting. You understand, right? I think you're
curious about our exercises and please look forward to it. Before that, let me discuss
the types of assertion. Basic assertion is a simple and straightforward statement for
expressing feelings, opinions, and beliefs. Example, I wish I could have expressed this
idea earlier. because now someone else has taken the credit. This type of assertion is
what we usually say. Remember that basic assertions are simple. Emphatic assertion
conveys sympathy to someone and usually has two parts.
The first encompasses the recognition of the feelings or situations of the other person
and the second is a statement that shows support for the other person's viewpoint
feelings or rights example i understand you are busy and me too but it is difficult for
me to finish this project on my own so i want you to help me complete this project We
say this assertion when we feel the feelings of the other person. Remember that
emphatic assertions convey sympathy. Escalating assertion occurs when someone is
not able to give a response to a person's basic assertions, and therefore, that person
becomes firm about him or her. Example If you do not finish this work by 6 o'clock
tonight, I will engage the services of another worker.
We say this type of assertion when the other person doesn't respond to us. Remember
that escalating assertions are said when the person becomes firm. Confrontive
assertion describes what was to be done. It describes what actually occurred. Express
what you want and tend to blame people. Example, I told you to complete the forms by
January 22 and you agreed to do so. Now, it is May 15 and you are telling me that you
forgot the forms. But still, you expect to complete our task on time. What is it that you
want me to do? This is when we confront somebody. Remember that confrontive
assertions are said when we blame people. I-language assertion involves the first
person pronoun I and is useful for expressing negative feelings.
Nevertheless, it constructively emphasizes a person's feelings of anger. Example, When
you speak harshly, I cannot work with you because I feel annoyed. Therefore, I want
you to speak nicely and then assign me a task. Remember that we say I language
assertions to express negative feelings. Positive assertion is used in expressing positive
feelings about yourself or someone else. Example I'm glad that you came back to see
me. As it is stated in the name of the type, it expresses positive feelings. Alright, I
think you're ready for our learning exercises. So, come on, be ready for English
