Identify claims explicitly and


03 implicitly made in a written text
At the end of Unit III, you are expected to:
identify claims explicitly or implicitly made in a
written text;
determine the key elements of explicit and
implicit claims;
differentiate claim of fact, claim of policy and
claim of value from each other; and
identify claims of fact, policy and value
presented in written texts.
Opening Activity
Direction:
Claims are synonymous to
belief, argument, assertion,
or stand.
Take note!
Claim is usually found in the introduction or in the first few
paragraphs of the text.
The claim is the most important part of the text.
The quality and complexity of the reading depends on the claim,
because the claim defines the paper’s direction and scope.
The claim is a sentence that summarizes the most important thing
that the writer wants to say as a result of his or her thinking,
reading, or writing.
A good claim should be:
argumentative and debatable,
specific and focused,
interesting and engaging,
and logical
An explicit claim is directly and clearly
stated in the text. It is when you can easily point out
the information in the passage.

Meanwhile, an implicit claim is indirectly expressed in


the text and you need to look
for clues or make inferences to understand its meaning.
Exercise 1 Read the text. Afterwards, listen to your teachers statement. Write down E if
the piece of information is explicit or write down I if it is implicit.

“Congratulations, Rosie! Your parents must be proud of you.” The


teacher greeted her with delight. It was graduation day and Rosie
managed to stand on stage and delivered her speech in front of her
fellow graduates and guests. She ended her speech thanking her
Alma mater and her parents and said, “Let us trust God’s plan.”
Rosie left the stage with tears in her eyes as the clicking of the
medals could be heard from afar.
As she approached her parents, they kissed her and gave her a big
hug and uttered, “We love you, dear! Your success is our success.
We will surely celebrate at home".
