    ACTIVITY SHEETS IN ENGLISH 9


    QUARTER 4, Module 4

    MELC: React to lay value judgment on critical issues that demand sound analysis and call for
    prompt actions

    Objectives:
    1. Review value judgment features;
    2. Develop ways to improve critical thinking skills; and
    3. Write a call to action in a speech

    LEARNING IDEAS
    A value judgment is an evaluative statement of how good or bad you think an idea or action is. A value
    judgment is often prescriptive, i.e. a normative view might be expressed that reveals certain attitudes or
    behaviors toward the world. A value judgment is a subjective statement of opinion in contrast to an
    objective fact or theory that can be tested by looking at the available evidence. It is also a claim that a
    particular human action or object has some degree of importance, worth, or desirability.

    Example: Ice cream tastes great!


    It is morally wrong to hurt animals for fun.

    LEARNING EXPLORATION

    For reasons that will become clear below, a value judgment is a claim about something's moral, practical,
    or aesthetic worth. Value judgments do not simply describe the world; they prescribe certain attitudes or
    behaviors toward the world. When you say things like the statements below, you are usually making a
    certain kind of value judgment. We often say that value judgments are normative, which means they
    evaluate things with respect to certain standards or norms.
    Critical thinking, according to The Foundation for Critical Thinking, is the intellectually disciplined
    process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating
    information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or
    communication, as a guide to belief and action.”

    Critical thinking is the opposite of regular, everyday thinking. Moment to moment, most thinking
    happens automatically. When you think critically, you deliberately employ any of the above intellectual
    tools to reach more accurate conclusions. We can run into problems when we let our automatic mental
    processes govern important decisions.

    Without critical thinking, it’s easy for people to manipulate us and for all sorts of catastrophes to
    result. Even day to day, it’s easy to get caught in pointless arguments or say thoughtless things just
    because you failed to stop and think deliberately.

    Ways to Think More Critically


    1. Ask Basic Questions. Sometimes an explanation becomes so complex that the original question
    gets lost. To avoid this, continually go back to the basic questions you asked when you set out to
    solve the problem.

    Here are a few key basic questions you can ask when approaching any problem:

     What do you already know?


     How do you know that?
     What are you trying to prove, disprove, demonstrated, critique, etc.?
     What are you overlooking?

    Some of the most breathtaking solutions to problems are astounding not because of their complexity,
    but because of their elegant simplicity. Seek the simple solution first.

    2. Question Basic Assumptions. Things can be a reality if you just question your assumptions and
    critically evaluate your beliefs about what’s prudent, appropriate, or possible.

    3. Be Aware of Your Mental Processes. Human thought is amazing, but the speed and automation
    with which it happens can be a disadvantage when we’re trying to think critically. Our brains naturally
    use heuristics (mental shortcuts) to explain what’s happening around us. A critical thinker is aware of
    their cognitive biases and personal prejudices and how they influence seemingly “objective” decisions
    and solutions. All of us have biases in our thinking. Becoming aware of them is what makes critical
    thinking possible.
    4. Evaluate the Existing Evidence. When you’re trying to solve a problem, it’s always helpful to look at
    other work that has been done in the same area.
    There’s no reason to start solving a problem from scratch when someone has already laid the
    groundwork.
    It’s important, however, to evaluate this information critically, or else you can easily reach the wrong
    conclusion. Ask the following questions of any evidence you encounter:
     Who gathered this evidence?
     How did they gather it?
     Why?

    Take, for example, a study showing the health benefits of a sugary cereal. On paper, the study sounds
    pretty convincing. That is, until you learn that a sugary cereal company funded it.

    You can’t automatically assume that this invalidates the study’s results, but you should certainly
    question them when a conflict of interests is so apparent.

    5. Understand That No One Thinks Critically 100% of the Time. You can’t think critically all the time,
    and that’s okay. Critical thinking is a tool that you should deploy when you need to make important
    decisions or solve difficult problems, but you don’t need to think critically about everything.

    And even in important matters, you will experience lapses in your reasoning. What matters is that you
    recognize these lapses and try to avoid them in the future.

    People respond to different types of calls to action based on their temperaments, daily activities,
    goals, and more. So, it’s important to get to know who is in your audience before you decide how you’re
    going to deliver their post-talk “to-dos.” Once you do, you can ensure your call actually gets a response.
    Title of the Activity: Analyzing Statements: Value Judgment, Critical Thinking, and Call to Action
    Directions: Put a smiley ( ) mark if the statement is about value judgment; draw a star ( ) icon if the
    statement talks about critical thinking; and draw a heart ( ) icon if the statement mentions about call to
    action. Write your answers on the space provided.
    II. Subjective vs. Objective
    Directions: Tell whether the following statements are Objective or Subjective judgments.
