19. UNLOCKING CONTENT VOCABULARY

20. Directions: Below, you'll find scrambled terms related to evaluating persuasive texts. Unscramble the jumbled words and define each. The Persuasion Puzzle

21. FCATS 1.

22. FACTS 1. -Information that is true and can be proven. Water boils at 100°C. Example:

23. OINIONPS 2.

24. OPINIONS 2. -What someone thinks or feels; not always based on facts. Chocolate ice cream is the best. Example:

25. CAMILS 3.

26. CLAIMS 3. -A statement that someone says is true, but it needs to be proven. Exercise makes you smarter. Example:

27. EICNEDVE 4.

28. EVIDENCE 4. - Proof or support that shows a claim or idea is true. A study or data that supports your point. Example:

29. AMNUERGT 5.

30. ARGUMENT 5. - A set of ideas or reasons used to support a claim. Saying why students should wear uniforms, with reasons and evidence. Example:

31. Directions: Analyze the given situation and answer the questions that follow. Apple Appeal: Fact or Fancy?

32. A student holds up an apple and says, "This apple is the healthiest lunch option!“ 2. A poster on the wall claims, "Apples a day keep the doctor away!" Information:

33. 1. A student holds up an apple and says, "This apple is the healthiest lunch option!" Challenge: ·Is the first statement a fact or an opinion? Why?

34. Expected Answer: The first statement is an opinion . It expresses a personal belief about the healthiest option without providing evidence.

35. 2. A poster on the wall claims, "Apples a day keep the doctor away!" Challenge: ·Is the second statement a fact or an opinion? Why?

36. Expected Answer: The second statement is a catchy slogan , likely an opinion. While apples have health benefits, it's not a guaranteed way to avoid doctors.

37. FACT or OPINIONS SUB-TOPIC 1:

38. FACT A fact is a proven piece of information . It is a statement that can be verified in a reference source such as an encyclopedia, a dictionary, a map, or a history book. Facts are things that happened in the past or are happening now. It can be supported by evidence .

39. Examples: The Philippines is an archipelago composed of over 7,600 islands. (This is a verifiable statement about the country's geography.)

40. Examples: Sinigang, a sour soup dish, is a national favorite in the Philippines, with various regional variations. ( This is a confirmed fact about Filipino cuisine.)

41. Examples: The Philippines is the world's largest producer of abaca, a natural fiber used in textiles. (This can be verified through agricultural production statistics.)

42. OPINION An opinion is a belief, judgment, or a way of thinking about something . Statements that express that something is good or bad in some ways are usually opinions.

43. Examples: Adobo is the best Filipino dish. (This expresses a personal preference for a particular dish.)

44. Examples: Wearing shorts to school is disrespectful. (This reflects a belief about appropriate school attire, which can vary depending on the school's policies.)

45. Examples: Studying abroad is the only way to get a good job. (This expresses a personal viewpoint on career opportunities, which may not be universally true.)

46. Ways to Recognize the Differences

47. 1. Words that show extreme positives or negatives are clues to opinions. ( everyone , never , most , always , nobody , ever , all , really , none , very )

48. 2. Descriptive words are subjective. Sentences with descriptive words are mostly opinions. ( beautiful , ugly , smart , foolish , joyful , lucky , gloomy )

49. 3. Language intended to appeal emotions is opinionated. Read this example of an emotional appeal: Have you ever driven down a road and seen all the garbage alongside the road? People should wake up and realize how much this harms the environment. The unsightly mess contains toxic substance that damage the earth and kill wildfire.

50. Here's where evidence comes in. It's the information used to support a claim, either factual or opinion-based. But not all evidence is created equal. These are the common types: Tools for Verification 1.SELF-EVIDENCE 2. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE 3 .ARGUMENT FROM AUTHORITY 4. EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE

51. 1. SELF-EVIDENCE – A fact that is clearly true and easy for most people to agree with or observe. Adobo is a popular Filipino dish. (This is something most Filipinos can easily agree on or observe.) Example:

52. 2. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE – A personal story or experience used to support a claim. It may be true for one person but not for everyone. My Lola's adobo recipe is the best! Everyone who tries it says so. (This is based on personal experience, not true for everyone.) Example:

53. 3. ARGUMENT FROM AUTHORITY – A claim supported by the opinion of an expert or respected person. Renowned chef Sylvia Reynoso-Gamboa considers adobo a cornerstone of Filipino cuisine. (This uses the opinion of an expert or respected person.) Example:

54. 4. EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE – Proof based on research, studies, or data. This is the strongest kind of evidence. A recent study by the Department of Tourism found adobo to be the most frequently ordered Filipino dish by foreign tourists. (This is based on research and data.) Example:

55. By understanding different types of evidence, we can critically evaluate the information we encounter and make informed decisions.

56. Facts require strong, verifiable evidence — especially empirical evidence. Remember:

57. Opinions can be supported by various types of evidence (like anecdotal or authority), but should be recognized as personal viewpoints. Remember:
