Looking Back Directions: Tell whether each illustration shows BIAS or PREJUDICE.
Brief Introduction In contemporary times, many get the information they need from viewing materials, like news programs, educational videos and among others. With the vast, often conflicting, amount of information offered by these materials, people must know how to evaluate them to avoid misinformation.
Evaluation is a skill founded on one's capacity to understand the content. Before
we can form a judgment about the quality and value of the material, we must have a __________________________________________________________________________________________
(This is a Government Property. Not For Sale.) Page | 3
UNIFIED SUPPLEMENTARY LEARNING MATERIALS Grade 9 ENGLISH __________________________________________________________________________________ solid grasp of what it conveys. Here are the steps on how you can get a sense of the materials you view.
FIRST, identify the topic – the subject of the material. Your strategy for topic identification is to ask yourself the question, "What is this about?" Sometimes, you can spot the topic by looking for a word or two that are repeated. Usually, you can state it in a few words.
SECOND, look for the main idea. It may be stated at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end. It is the essential piece of information the author wants you to know. It is either explicit (directly stated) or implicit (indirectly stated).
THIRD, find the supporting details. They are facts, statements, and examples- -specifics that clarify, illuminate, explain, describe, expand and illustrate the main idea.
The process of determining supporting details is as follows:
1. Decide which details help to further the storyline. 2. Decide which details help you to understand the main idea. 3. Answer question raised by the main idea (who, what, when, why, or how).
ILLUSTRATION OF PRACTICE:
Let us consider the paragraph below.
1. The subject or the topic, or the one being discussed in the text, is the movie "Outbreak." 2. The main idea is presented in the last sentence: __________________________________________________________________________________________
(This is a Government Property. Not For Sale.) Page | 4

Notice that the main idea is explicitly stated in the last statement. It tells us the kind of movie Outbreak is and the central idea it conveys.
3. All the other sentences in the paragraph lead you to the stated main idea. They help you grasp the meaning of the material.
