    Most people do not get enough sleep, which can negatively impact both physical and mental health in the short and long term. A lack of adequate sleep in the short term can impair judgment, mood, learning, and increase accident risk, while chronic sleep deprivation over the long term may lead to serious health issues like obesity, diabetes, and even early death. The main argument is that not getting enough sleep has serious consequences for health and well-being.

    Directions: Read the text below and answer the

    questions in a separate sheet of paper.


    Most people don’t get enough sleep. We are a society that burns
    the candle at both ends, a nation where people stay up all night to
    study, work, or have fun. However, going without adequate sleep
    carries with it both short- and long-term consequences. In the
    short term, a lack of adequate sleep can affect judgment, mood,
    ability to learn and retain information, and may increase the
    risk of serious accidents and injury. In the long term, chronic
    sleep deprivation may lead to a host of health problems including
    obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even early mortality.

    What is manifesto?
    A written statement declaring
    publicly the intentions,
    motives, or views of its issuer
    Major Categories
    of Manifesto Characteristics

    A goal can be a manifesto when we share it with


    other people. It’s public, it’s a declaration and it’s
    1. Goal about what one intends to have happened.

    A manifesto containing set of rules for behaving within a


    specific context or a list of items to be achieved or tasks to
    2. List and Rules be fulfilled.

    This type of manifesto aims to create a new world. It’s not about simple rules,
    instead, it presents a vision for the future. A solemn declaration by the
    constituted authorities of a nation which contains the reason for its public acts
    3. World towards another. On the declaration of war, a manifesto is usually issued in
    which the nation declaring war states the reasons for so doing.
    What is the purpose of manifesto?
    • usually accepts a previously published
    opinion or public consensus or promotes a
    new idea with prescreptive notions for
    carrying out changes the author believes
    should be made.
    • It often is political, social or artistic in
    nature, sometimes revolutionary, but may
    prevent an individual’s life stance.
    Argumentative Writing
    A kind of writing where the students
    establish a position in a given topic and
    then use evidence to persuade the
    audience to see things from their point
    of view.
    Argumentative writing aligns with a
    stance but does not intend to persuade
    the audience to make an emotional
    decision.
    Argumentative writing is collecting and
    presenting evidence, allowing the reader
    to make an informed decision regarding
    the topic.
    - basic way to think about your
    thesis and arguments is the
    formula “claim + reasons.” A claim
    by itself is not an argumentative
    thesis—you need to put forth your
    reasons as well.
    ANALYZING SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
    Direction: In analyzing an issue and developing an argument,
    supporting evidence is a significant factor. Arrange the jumbled letters
    to form a word/s that connects to supporting evidence.

    WRITING A POSITION PAPER
    - position paper presents the writer’s stand or
    viewpoint on a particular issue. Writing a position
    paper entails outlining arguments and proposing the
    course of action.
    The main objective of writing a position paper is to
    take part in a larger debate by stating your arguments
    and proposed course of action.
    Parts of a Position Paper
    Introduction - introduce the issue, provide history or background of
    the issue on hand.Provide general statement of your stand through
    a thesis statement.
    Body - state your arguments on your stand about the issue. Provide
    strong evidence (statistics, interviews with experts, testimonies).
    Provide counter arguments against possible weaknesses of your
    arguments.
    Conclusion - restate your claim or stand of an issue. Suggest a course
    of action. End with a powerful call for action (quotation, challenge or
    question).

    Stance on an Issue
    Supporting Evidences
    Factual Knowledge – information that is verifiable and agreed
    upon by almost everyone 
    Statistical Inferences – interpretation and examples of an
    accumulation of facts 
    Informed Opinion – opinion developed through research
    and/or expertise of the claim 
    Personal Testimony – personal experience related by a
    knowledgeable party
    In every claim, there is always a counterclaim.
    A counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim.
    When your claim says, “I want a new
    cellphone.” But then your Mother said, “'No,
    you don't.” This is your mom's counterclaim.
    Counterclaims are also provable and
    supportable by reasons and evidence. Just

    current situation does not require a new cell
    phone.
