Communicating through written words and interacting with texts are not easy
feats. Though ideas are there but as to how to write and present these ideas seem a
challenge to a beginning writer. Thus, learning to develop your skills in writing is
necessary in creating text effectively.
As we go along the way, take every opportunity to learn new concepts, ideas
and skills whole-heartedly. Everything that you will learn from this Module is not limited
to this piece of paper. Instead, you will be applying them in real life. It may sound
cheesy but after going through this Module, you would surely tell yourself that you
wouldn’t leave this Module empty-handed. Remind yourself that there is a reason why
you’re learning these things.
This module will also help you progress to the challenge by equipping you with
the necessary skills in thinking critically, selecting information efficiently, organizing
ideas logically, and evaluating arguments soundly.

Before delving further into the lesson, let us first identify the difference between implicit
claim and explicit means by studying the image shown below.
With the above scenario, Table 1 below captures the differences between Implicit and
Explicit Claims.
IMPLICIT EXPLICIT
Something that is stated but not Something that is directly stated
directly
May not be understood right Is easy to understand/No confusion
away/tends to be confusing intended
Needs to be analyzed or re-read Does not need analysis since
thoroughly in order to be information is obviously stated
understood
Based on the given concepts, can you think of another difference between implicit and
explicit?
Now that they are different from each other, what is their significance in reading and
writing? But before we go deeper into the lesson, let us try to apply implicit and explicit in your
day - to - day conversation with the members of your family in the house.
What’s New
Activity 1: Implicit and Explicit conversations with family members. Draw a simple
scenario where you are talking with any of your family member in the house. The
conversation must show implicit and explicit sentences. Underline the implicit
part and circle the explicit part.
What Is It
What Is It?
Just a quick recap, explicit information is clearly stated in the reading text. The
information is reflected in the text. While implicit is information not directly stated in the text.
In this regard, reading “between the lines” and looking for clues are valuably needed to
readily identify the writer’s idea.
Following are examples of implicit and explicit information written in the text.
EXPLICIT INFORMATION
1. It is important to talk about what you are feeling especially when you feel scared, anxious,
and sad. If you do not open up, there is a strong possibility that your thoughts and feelings
will give you a very negative outlook in life.
2. Regular exercising can help boost your immune system. It also improves both physical
and mental health by inhaling positivity and exhaling negativity.
Explanation:
In the first text, it is clearly stated that sharing your feelings is important towards
achieving an optimistic outlook in life. It is explicit because the information is direct to the point.
In like manner, the second text informs the reader that exercising is vital in improving both
physical and mental health. The information is easy extracted from the given texts.
IMPLICIT INFORMATION
1. Andrew and Sarah have been married for 4 years. They were close in complying the
requirements for child adoption. One day, when Andrew parked his motorcycle outside the
adoption center to submit the papers, he kneeled to the ground and burst into tears when
he received a text from his wife which stated, “I’m positive!”
2. When Kobe arrived at the basketball court, he saw a dog wagging its tail and coming to
him. Kobe kept on walking, moving away from the dog. He never owned one.
Explanation:
On the first text, have you instantly identified the reason why Andrew was crying in
the end? He burst into tears because he found out that his wife is finally pregnant after four
years of their marriage (“I’m positive”). In the second passage, it was not stated that Kobe
does not like dogs, but it is the impression that you get when you have read it. The first clue
refers to when he moved away from the dog; the second clue reflects that Kobe never owned
a dog.
What’s More
Activity 2: Identifying implicit and explicit information. Write (ei) if the given written text is
an explicit information and (ii) if the text displays an implicit information. Write your
answer in your activity notebook.
1. I like to eat mangoes because they are yummy and nutritious.
2. Joseph wakes up early and sleeps late. His phone is always connected to his charger.
3. My 4-year-old nephew ran towards me when he saw me getting a box from my car’s
trunk.
4. All living things are made up of cells. That means, plants too, have cells.
5. Mrs. Labitad is afraid of heights. It all started when her co-worker jokingly pushed her while
she was on the railings of a mountain resort.
6. During the pandemic, there was a global shortage of disinfectants. Strangely, one of my
social media friends never ran out of stocks of rubbing alcohol. She sold them at above
standard price.
7. If you are planning to go to the municipality of Claveria, make sure to bring with you extra
batteries for your camera.
8. According to studies, eating fruits and vegetables helps us to foster good digestion.
9. When I went to my friend’s birthday party, I ate everything they served except pork.
10. The Philippine Independence Day is celebrated every 12th. of June.
Activity 3: Synthesizing Your Learning. Answer the following questions based on your
learning. Be specific in your answers.

Claim of Fact, Claim of Policy
4 and Claim of Value
Grade 12, Second Semester, Q3- Week 4
What’s In
During the previous lesson, you were able to learn implicit and explicit information.
Those concepts help you in getting information and how you will react and respond to what is
stated in the written text. In this lesson, you will focus on information given, particularly claims
and their types.
Have you ever tried to prove to someone that what you are saying is right? You want
to convince the other person that your point is true and you actually have basis in what you
are saying and you are not just stating random things. In this section, we will learn many
concepts and lesson about proving something properly substantiated by evidence.
Before going into detail, examine the image shown below about a man standing on
top of our planet, holding a flag. What is he trying to prove?
The image found above is a man claiming that he has conquered the entire world by
planting a flag of his colony Take note of the word claim because this is going to be discussed
elaborately in this lesson.
What’s New
Activity 1: Mini comic strip. Draw a scene where you are having a friendly debate with
a friend about something that you believe in but he/she is totally opposite
of your stand. Convince your friend by providing ideas to support your
argument.

What Is It
In addition, claims of fact answer the questions: What is true and what is false? What
happened or did not happen? What exists and what does not?
An example is the new doble-plaka law where motorcycles should bear two plate
numbers. One in the front and one at the back. This law has been very controversial, and
many riders have expressed their negative reactions towards this but the lawmakers explain
that it will help trace down criminal activities since many of these involve riding-in-tandem
individuals. They also stated that the new plate numbers are larger than the previous one.
3. Claims of Value usually answer the questions: What should be done? How can we
solve this problem? What course of action should be taken?
Further, there is a claim that fixing a house is better than buying/building a new one.
In this argument, it is believed that retaining an old house is more valuable than having a new
one since the old one is filled with memories and sentimental value that no amount of money
or even the most beautiful house can ever replace.
Claims of fact answer the questions: Is it good or bad? Is it right or wrong? Is It ethical
or unethical?
Remember, claims are subject to arguments since when making a claim, you want to
convince your reader or the opposing person/party that what you are saying is correct and
they must believe in the claims that you make.
What’s More
Activity 3: Identifying Claims. Write CF if the statement is a claim of fact, CP for claim
of policy and CV for claim of value.

Activity 4: Read the passage below. Then, fill out the given Table with statements
extracted from the passage which will point out to claims of fact, value, and
policy.
Childhood obesity in our country has more than tripled in the past 30 years. Today,
one in six children in our country is obese. This is unacceptable. As parents, we try to provide
a better future for our children, better than we have ever had. We need to stand up and do
what we can. We can start by supporting the passing of the anti-junk food bill in schools and
other child-friendly areas.
Begin Here:
Claim of Fact Claim of Value Claim of Policy
What I Can Do
Activity 5: Write To Make it Right, Alright? Choose one negative trait that you have and
make a letter to yourself claiming that you will be changing for the better. Apply
the three types of claims that you have learned. For example, you claim that you
really are a liar (a claim of fact) and you promise to yourself that you will change
that attitude by doing things that you think will help you (a claim of policy). Make
use of the space given below.

Summary
1. Implicit Information is something that is stated indirectly. It may not be understood right
away and it tends to be confusing. There is also a need to re-read and analyze what the writer
is trying to inform his/her readers.
3. Claims are statements that are not considered accepted by all. This is your side on a
particular issue. It could also be used as a main point of your argument towards an issue.
Important reminder, a claim may actually be factual or it could also be just a mere judgement.
That’s why it is important to know and differentiate types of claims.
5. Claim of Policy is about what should be done over a certain issue. This type of policy
usually made in relation to solving societal problems/issues. Most of the time, a claim of policy
seeks for plans to solve current problems. It answers the questions: What should be done?
How can this problem be solved? What course of action should be taken?
Example: Social media is more reliable in getting the latest happenings around the country
than newspapers do.
