IV. PROCEDURE
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Preliminaries
• Greetings

Good morning, class.

Good morning, Sir.
• Prayer
Dear God, thank you for another opportunity to
gather and learn. Bless us with wisdom,
patience, and understanding as we begin this
lesson. Help us learn with kindness, curiosity,
and respect. May our time together be
meaningful and filled with joy. This we ask in
Jesus’s name. Amen.
 • Checking of attendance

Is anyone absent today?

No, Sir. We are all present.
• Presentation of classroom rules

Before we begin, please allow me to

remind you of our classroom rules,
which are to listen, participate, and
show respect.

B. Motivation

Before we proceed with our discussion,

let’s have a simple activity.

ACTIVITY — WOULD YOU RATHER…

Mechanics:
1. The teacher will present two images
or options per slide. Each option has
both a benefit and a consequence
2. The students will choose one of the
options and justify their decision.
3. Each option has both a pro and a
con.

Sample:

You get a free lifetime supply of

kwek-kwek, but every other street
food disappears.

Or

You get a free lifetime supply of

siomai, but you become allergic to all
other Chinese food.
Sample response:

I would choose the first option because I love

siomai but I’m not that fond of other Chinese
food.
C. Presentation of the Lesson

I hope you enjoyed our activity.

What did you notice?

Sir, we chose the option we liked better and
explained why.
That’s right. When we make choices, we
need to think thoroughly about what we
will choose and why. When it comes to
personal preferences, however, we tend
to choose based on personal feelings
and opinions.

That leads us to our lesson for today,

D. Lesson Proper

CLAIM OF VALUE

Before anything else, what comes into

your mind when you hear the word
value?

Sir, when I think of “value,” I usually think of

good behavior or characteristics. But it could
also refer to something’s worth.
Very good! When we say claim of value,
we are claiming something to be worth
more than another, or is good or bad,
based on either morals or personal
preferences.

In other words, what do we do?

Sir, we compare and make choices based on our
opinions. When we state a claim of value, it is
something that argues that something is better
than the other based on our opinion.
Correct!
E. Application

Let’s see if you really understood our

discussion.

Instructions:
Identify which of the following is a claim
of value and which is not. Explain why.

1. Neil Armstrong was the first man on This is not a claim of value because it states a
the moon. fact.

2. The Philippines is the greatest nation This is a subjective opinion because there is no
on Earth. single concrete way to tell which country is the
greatest, therefore it is a claim of value.
 3. Katniss Everdeen is the best female The word “best” is a superlative degree of
character ever. comparison. The statement is a claim of value.

4. Obesity causes health problems. This is a claim of fact because it presents

information that can be verified.

5. 18 years old is the legal age in most This is also a claim of fact because it can be
countries. verified.

6. Volleyball is more exciting than This is a claim of value because it expresses an

basketball. opinion and compares two different sports.

7. February 25, 2025 is a national This statement can be verified; therefore, it is

holiday. not a claim of value.

8. The weather is more beautiful today This is a claim of value because it makes use of
than yesterday. a comparative degree of comparison and
subjective description in the word beautiful.

9. The weather is hotter today than This is not a claim of value despite comparing
yesterday. two different things because weather can be
measured and the statement can be verified.

10. Claim of value is easier to This is a claim of value because people have
understand than claim of fact. differing opinions on which concept is easier to
grasp.

Very good. Were you able to gain any

additional ideas about claim of value
from our activity?
Yes, Sir. Because some of the statements were
not claim of value, rather they were claim of
fact, we were able to distinguish one from the
other. Claim of fact presents verifiable or
debatable information, while claim of value
shows an argument of preference.
That’s right. In other words, claim of
value states that you think something is
better than others, while claim of fact
states a piece of information that can be
proven or disproven.

F. Valuing

Allow me to share with you a quote to

reflect on in relation to our topic for
today:

Your value doesn’t decrease based on

someone’s inability to see your worth.

You may share your thoughts and

realizations regarding this quote.
Sample response:
 For me, the quote means that just because
someone doesn’t see how important or
valuable you are doesn’t mean you’re worth any
less. Sometimes, people don’t recognize our
strengths or appreciate what we bring to the
table, but that doesn’t change who we are. Our
value isn’t based on others' opinions—it comes
from within us. It’s important to believe in
ourselves and not let negativity bring us down.

Thank you for sharing your insights. You

are right. It is important for each and
every one of us to recognize our own
value because it’s in this way we can
identify our strengths and, in turn,
improve ourselves and reach our full
potential.

G. Generalization

Before we proceed with your task, let’s

have a short recap of the things we have
discussed today.

Claim of value

It is a statement that argues whether something

is good or bad, right or wrong, or more or less
important.

It is subjective, based on personal standards or

beliefs, and often compares things or makes
moral judgments.

Claim of value versus claim of fact

A claim of value argues that something is better

than the other, while claim of fact argues that a
piece of information is true based on evidence.
Very good. I can see that you have really
understood our discussion on claim of
value. I believe you are now ready for
the evaluation.
