Quarter 4, Week 6 - Taking Stand

We talked about taking a stand this week. We define taking a stand as expressing your opinions or points of view, whether you're asserting your unwavering support, defense, or opposition to something. We also talked what a thesis statement is and how it is written for a specific audience. It identifies the topic being discussed as well as the points expressed in regard to the issue. We also learn about the components of a thesis statement:a)Topic- tells the readers what the paper is about. However, it must narrowly define the topic, or it will be too broad, this is where brainstorming comes in. b) Stand/Stance/Claim- means your assertion or your opinion. It is what you think of the issue / topic, whether you agree, disagree, support or contradict. c) Reasons / Significance / Solutions- are the “because” factors. These are the details that will support or explain your stand / claim. To do this, ask yourself why you are making that stand / claim. We are also asked to define the terms given to us on our spelling quiz; you will see the different words we define later on.
We have Arthur Miller as this week's Anglo-American Literature Icon. In the twentieth century, Arthur Miller was an American playwright, essayist, and screenwriter. His works include "All My Sons," "Death of a Salesman," "The Crucible," and "A View from the Bridge." He was born on October 17, 1915, and died at the age of 90 on February 10, 2005. Alliteration is the focus of our Figure of Speech. Alliteration is a literary device in which the first consonant sound of two or more neighboring words is repeated.

Quarter 4, Week 2- Judging The Validity of Evidences

Image
We discussed about the validity of evidences this week. We have our flag ceremony and a recap of our previous lesson this week. To begin, we must define the terms evidence, listening, analysis, and thesis. What exactly is evidence? It is a collection of data that reveals if a belief or proposition is true or genuine, allowing us to trust the evidence. We also knew that one of the macro abilities in the English language is listening. The process of putting together an argument is called analysis. The thesis is the document that controlled the concepts that should be assertive and debatable. Statistical Evidence, Testimonial Evidence, Anecdotal Evidence, and Analogical evidence were also discussed. Statistical evidence is a type of data that people looked for when trying to support a claim. For example, in a study or research, two out of five respondents claim to have experienced vote-buying. While Testimonial Evidence is evidence that includes an expert opinion to back up a claim,

Quarter 4, Week 1 - Analytical Listening

Image
This week, we discussed Analytical Listening and its different types. This week we defined the meaning of Analytical listening in just a simple yet understandable meaning that makes our discussion easier to understand and learn. We define the four different types of analytical Listening; Appreciative Listening, Emphatic Listening, Comprehensive/ Active Listening, and Critical/Analytical Listening. Appreciative listening listens for pleasure and enjoyment, like when listening to music, to an entertaining speech, etc. We listen to Emphatic listening to provide emotional support for the speaker, like a psychiatrist listens to a patient, or lending an ear to a friend. Comprehensive or Active listening is used to understand the message of a speaker, like when attending a classroom lecture. Lastly, Critical or analytical listening is used to evaluate a message for purpose of accepting or rejecting it, just like the campaign speech of a political candidate, and focuses on evaluating whe

We begin our class this week with a prayer and a flag ceremony. This week, we talked about making judgments and the factors to consider when making judgements. While we're talking about making judgments, we've already unlocked some of the factors to consider, such as relevance, worth of ideas, good presentation, and so on. Every week, we have a spelling quiz. We picked up new words like baccalaureate, indigenous, conscientious, and so on. Dan Brown is this week's Anglo-American Literature Icon. Daniel Gerhard Brown is Dan Brown's real name. He is most known for his suspense novels, which include the Robert Langdon series, Angels& Demons (2002), and others. His books are treasure hunts that take place over the course of 24 hours. His works have been translated into 57 different languages. We also have our Figure of speech in Focus Allegory. Allegory is a figure of speech wherein the events, activities, traits, setting, or things that represent a specif
