I. LESSON TITLE: Determining the Relevance and Truthfulness of Ideas Presented in the Material Viewed (Part 3)
II. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES (MELCs): MELC 7: Determine the relevance and truthfulness of the ideas in the
material viewed
III. CONTENT/CORE CONTENT: Determining the relevance and truthfulness of the ideas in the material viewed

Learning Activities
In today’s society, we are often bombarded with a lot of information. Most of these are helpful, but there are some which may seem to be
misleading or even utterly false. You should take into consideration the correct ways of analyzing or interpreting ideas presented in any material,
either viewed or read. So, what are the considerations you need to remember and understand?

A fact should be based on observation or research and it is not debatable since the information is true.

Example: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered

coronavirus.
An opinion is actually your assumption or personal view and it is debatable because an opinion is not always true.

Example: For me, COVID-19 is enough to make anyone paranoid when in

public places.
 Facts and opinions help us determine how true a statement is. Thus, in any kind of article, facts and opinions can be used in developing
the paragraph to add details on the main point.
Another way of understanding an article is through identifying its main idea and important details about it. It shows the relationship of the ideas
to the theme or main point of an article.

Main idea is the most important thought about the topic. The topic is the person, place, thing, or idea being written about.

Supporting details can be defined as additional information that explain, define, or prove an idea.

Example: Lenny is an excellent student. She is intelligent. She is responsible. Lenny always does her homework, and she is never late for class.
As a result of her hard work, Lenny is one of the best students in school.

“Lenny is an excellent student.” is the main idea of the paragraph.

 The main idea may be stated or implied. When the main idea of a paragraph is stated, it is most often found in the first sentence of the
paragraph. However, the main idea may be found in any sentence of the paragraph. When the main idea is implied, you need to read
the paragraph and explain the main idea in your own words.
 The supporting details are in bold. There are THREE points supporting the main idea.
 If there is a strong relationship between your main point and details, then facts and opinions injected are relevant in developing the
paragraph.
Let’s read the article.
COVID-19 situation in PH
by Jake J. Maderazo
As government speeds up vaccination of 1.7 million medical front liners nationwide, it is necessary to inform everyone on how our country’s
COVID-19 situation compares worldwide in terms of cases and deaths per 1-million population.

I think we are doing great, despite negative/alarmist news, according to the latest worldometer.com info website. We are number 129 out of
219 countries worldwide with only 5,376 total cases per our 1-million population. In ASEAN, we are third to Singapore which leads with 10,207
cases per million while Malaysia is second with 9,601 cases per million. Indonesia is close fourth with 5,008 cases per million with Sri Lanka fifth
at 3,991 per million.

Rich and medically advanced countries such as USA is at number 8 (89,359), Spain at number 19 (67,334), Switzerland at number 23
(64,648),
UK at number 25 (61,919), and France at number 27 (59,723).

In terms of deaths per million, we are at number 118 out of 219 countries with only 113 deaths per 1-million population. Indonesia leads
ASEAN with 135 deaths while Malaysia has 36 deaths, Sri Lanka with 23 deaths, and Singapore at 5 deaths per 1 million.

United Kingdom is at number 6 worldwide (1,827 deaths), Italy is number 8 (1,652 deaths), USA at number 11 (1,618 deaths), Spain at
number 15 (1,521), and Mexico at number 16 (1,468 deaths per million).

These numbers speak the truth that since the pandemic outbreak last year, and whether there was a surge or spike happening, our country
is still in a far better situation than others in this planet.

CONTENT/CORE CONTENT: Enabling Competency:Interpret the information listened to

This lesson is divided into three parts. The first part will help you interpret the information in a material you listened to. Listening is very
important in our everyday living since it is when we listen that we are able to give feedback or respond accordingly. There are two types of

Mother: Okay. Thank you.

Learning Activities

In order to interpret, you must know first what it means and familiarize yourself on how you can do it. When you interpret, you should be
able to explain or convey the message of a certain topic to show that you understand it. You must be an active/attentive listener to do it. This
means that you listen not merely to hear what someone says, but to understand what he or she is talking about. You can do so if you have
enough vocabulary, if you have the memory to recall your experiences and relate it to the idea/concept that you are listening to, and if you
concentrate on the material you are listening to.

enough vocabulary, if you have the memory to recall your experiences and relate it to the idea/concept that you are listening to, and if you
concentrate on the material you are listening to.

In the two conversations above, you will probably believe in conversation A more than B since in your vocabulary, a doctor is someone who is
an expert in his/her field. On the other hand, you may believe in conversation B if you recall an experience in your life that you were once healed
by an “albularyo.” But when it comes to validity, what you listened to from the doctor is more reliable
than the other one since he/she can explain to the mother what the situation of her daughter is and what to do to make her feel better.
Nevertheless, it all depends on the three variables previously discussed on how you will interpret information, so you better be an active
listener to not miss any point from
someone or any material you are listening to.

II. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES (MELCs): Judge the validity of the evidence listened to
CONTENT/CORE CONTENT: Enabling Competency:Recognize faulty logic, unsupported facts, and emotional appeal

Learning Activities

Faulty logic, unsupported facts, and emotional appeal are types of fallacy.

Fallacy – a mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound argument

A fallacy is the use of invalid or faulty reasoning in the construction of an
argument. By appearing to be better than it really is, a fallacious argument may be misleading. Fallacies may be committed intentionally or
unintentionally to manipulate or persuade by deception.

Study the given examples for each type of fallacy.

Faulty Logic: Since you attended the Teatro at Galaw ng Tayabas dance workshop, you will be a great dancer than your sister.
Unsupported Facts: Lucbanins are friendlier than Tayabenses.
Emotional Appeal: In a fast food commercial, the store manager is sharing her journey as an employee of the company for the past 20 years. Then
at the last part of the video, she says, “I can’t think of a job more fulfilling than this.”

Learning Activities
Digital era has given way to rapid explosion of information in different media and platforms as it travels as fast as speed of light. As you are
confronted to rely your data based on the materials that you’ve read or listened to, it is an integral task to filter or judge the truthfulness of the
material as the online world is infested with millions of fake news/data. The following learning tasks will help you evaluate critically the validity
of a certain text based on established parameters.

Read the following conversation and answer the questions below.

According to DOH Region

Guide Questions
1. Which of the two statements may gain your favor? That of Juan or Marites? State your reasons.
2. What are the specific factors that make your chosen statement more valid or reliable?
As technology has become commercialized and everyone can create and upload various information on the internet, validity and reliability of
those can be compromised and misleading. Here are some points that we should take into consideration to check the validity and reliability of
information:

 Who is the author of the source? This question points out the credentials of the author. Is he or she a recognized expert in the field? Are
they representing an organization? If so, what is the organization's mission and goals? If you're still unsure, try browsing the internet on the
author or the organization he or she belongs.

 How did the source get its information? This question refers to references used in the source. Look at a few of the references. Do they look
like reliable sources of information? Does it look like the author is citing the source correctly? Use your best judgment in validating.
What if the source you've found doesn't have references? This question pertains to further checking the validity of the source. See if you can fact-
check the information in other ways. For instance, if you're looking at a news article that quotes experts in a field, browse the internet on the
expert's name and see what other information you can find on him or her.
Look at the following example:

According to DOH Region IV-A Director Paula Paz N. Sydiongco, a total of 56, 821 patients have already recovered from the
virus in CALABARZON. There were only 5, 521 active cases and are currently undergoing treatment in various health facilities
in the region as of December 8, 2020. This could also be viewed on their website on
When we determine the source as "g say that it has validity. Likewise, counterchecking the background of the author and source on the
internet would greatly help establish the validity of a certain material.

Learning Task 4
Identify whether the following sources are VALID or NOT VALID.

Directions: Read the following statements about the validity and

reliability of source. Write “T” if it is true and “F” if
otherwise.
1. A source that is biased is always unreliable and should be
avoided.
2. A book author must cite studies or other sources to be
considered valid and reliable.
