the lesson Directions: Teacher will present different books and students will analyse
the book cover by answering the questions below.
 Based on the picture, what do you think the genre of the books
is?
 What is the purpose of the book?( Informative or Entertainment)

ANSWER MAY VARY

Possible answer:
 Fiction and
Non-fiction
 Informative
and
Entertainment

We read to entertain ourselves and have a quick escaped from the reality
of life. We all have different reasons why we read. But when we read, we
ensure that information is correct,

However, reading post on social media is totally different from reading

books particularly fictional books. In social media, one should examine first
the information before accepting the author’s claim or arguments.

Actually, this activity has something to do with our topic for today which is
Judging Soundness of author’s Ideas and Effectiveness of
Presentation

1. Define sound reasoning and unsound reasoning.

2. Differentiate between sound and unsound statements.
3. Use reasoning skills in identifying factual information.
4. Compare valid and invalid arguments in real-world examples.
5. Judging the Soundness of Ideas and Effectiveness of
Presentation
C. Presenting ACTIVITY 3: CHECK HIS REASON
examples/Instances of the Directions: Read the excerpt from To Kill a Mockingbird and answer the
new lesson questions to judge the reason of the character. ANSWER KEY:
Answers may vary
Excerpt from To Kill a Mockingbird
"Atticus, do you really have to defend that man?" Scout, his daughter,
asked. "Everybody says he’s guilty."
Atticus sighed. "Scout, if I didn’t help him, I couldn’t call myself a good
person. Doing the right thing isn’t about what most people think. It’s about
what we know is right."
"But people are mad at you. They’re calling you names!" Scout said.
"Sometimes doing the right thing means standing alone," Atticus replied.
"But if I don’t stand up for him, how can I teach you to be a good person?"
Atticus defends Tom Robinson in court and proves he is innocent.
However, the jury still finds Tom guilty because of racism. Even though
Atticus loses the case, he teaches his children to stand up for what is right,
even when it’s hard.

Comprehension Questions:
1. Did Atticus make the right decision? Why or why not?
2. Was his reasoning logical and fair?
3. Would you have done the same in his place?
4. Does losing the case mean Atticus was wrong? Why or why not?
DISSCUSSION PROPER

What are Relevance and Worth of Ideas?

The relevance and worth of ideas refer to how important, valuable, and
meaningful an author's ideas are in relation to the topic being discussed. A
strong argument or discussion should stay focused, provide meaningful
insights, and contribute to the reader’s or audience’s understanding of the
subject.

Two Key Aspects:

Relevance – How closely the information or idea relates to the topic at
hand.
Worth – How valuable, meaningful, or useful the information is in
contributing to knowledge, decision-making, or problem-solving.

How to Spot Irrelevant Information:

1. It does not support or develop the main idea.
2. It shifts to an unrelated or random topic that confuses the
audience.
3. It adds unnecessary details that do not strengthen the discussion.

Example: "Balancing academics, extracurriculars, and social life is a

significant challenge for many students, leading to stress and burnout, but
the latest superhero movie was surprisingly good." (Irrelevant)
Example: "Balancing academics, extracurriculars, and social life is a
significant challenge for many students, leading to stress and burnout. It is
proven bacause according to the news, 75% of students doing the activities
have suicidal thoughts" (Relevant)

What is Sound Reasoning

 is simply reasoning that makes sense, and follows some sort of
logic
 Fact-based reasoning

SOUND
VALID LOGIC
REASONING

Example:
All birds have feathers.
A sparrow is a bird.

Therefore, a sparrow has feathers. (Logical and fact-based reasoning)

What is Unsound Reasoning

 An argument that is either invalid or contains false premises.
 either an invalid argument or valid argument with at least one
false premise.
Example:
All women are mothers. Anne is a woman.
Therefore, Anne is a mother. (Not all women are mothers, making this an
unsound argument)

All birds can fly. Penguins are birds. Therefore, penguins can fly.

How to judge the Soundness of the Author’s Reasoning

Judgement is formed after thinking carefully (Cambridge Dictionary)
 We check the following:
1. Validity – Do the conclusions logically follow from the premises?
2 Truthfulness of Premises – Are the supporting statements factually
correct?
3. Logical Coherence – Are the claims consistent and free from
contradictions?

What is considered effective presentation?

Refers to how well you communicate the ideas to others so they
understand, find it compelling, and are likely to act on it.

A strong argument in a presentation is clear, logical, well-supported, and

considers opposing views. It doesn’t just state opinions—it proves them
with reasoning and evidence while keeping the audience engaged and
motivated to think or act.
