This document outlines a deductive lesson plan about two classes of propositions: propositions of fact and propositions of policy. Propositions of fact aim at establishing the truth or falsity of an assertion, while propositions of policy aim at determining the wisdom or expediency of a course of action. Examples of each are provided and discussed to help students differentiate between the two classes. As an assignment, students are asked to cite more examples of each type of proposition and submit them for the next meeting.

Teacher’s Activity Students’Activity
A. Statementof the Problem
How didwe define propositionslast
meeting?Will youdefine itfor
us Caroline? We definedpropositionslastmeeting
as an expressionin wordsof anact of
judgment.
You have a sharp memory,Caroline
Propositionare anexpressionin
wordsof an act of judgment.
B. Statementof Generalization
For todaywe are goingto talkabout
twoclassesof proposition.These are
Propositionof factand Proposition
of policy.
Have you heardof these? No yetSir
Okay. Proposition of fact is
one that isconcernedwiththe truth
or falsityof an act of judgment.
It aimsat belief.Itsettlesthe
question:“Isthisassertiontrue?”
While, Proposition of policy isone

2. that is concernedwiththe wisdomor
unwisdom,the expediencyor
inexpediency,of acourse of action.
It aimsat action.It answersthe
questions:“Shoulditbe done?”
“Shouldthiscourse of action be followed?”
Will yourepeatwhatI have saidabout
the two classesof propositionsEmeline? Proposition of fact isa class of
propositioninwhichone thatis
concernedwiththe truth
or falsityof an act of judgment. Itaims
at belief.Itsettlesthe question:“Isthis
assertiontrue?”
While, Proposition of policy isa classof
propositioninwhichone thatis
concernedwiththe wisdomor
unwisdom, the expediencyor
inexpediency,of acourse of action.It
aimsat action.It answersthe
questions:“Shoulditbe done?”
“Shouldthiscourse of action be
followed?”
Well saidEmeline,youare reallylistening
C. Inference
Look at thisexample onthe board.
Please read the first example, Jennylyn. “Resolved,Thatelective city mayorsare
moreefficient than appointiveones.”
Thank you,Jennylyn
That is an example of the
Proposition of fact.
Why doyou thinkthe example
is Proposition of fact, Marie? Because,itaimsat belief.Itsettlesthe
questionunderpropositionof fact.
What isthat questionunderproposition
of fact, Nhoren?
“Is thisassertiontrue?”Sir
Good observation,Nhoren.
Do you understand now the Proposition of fact? Yes Sir

3. Let usmove on to the secondexample.
Will youplease readitforthe group
Presca? “Resolved,Thatthe Filipino women
should bedisfranchised.”
Andthisan example of Proposition of policy.
Why didI say so,Joyce? Because as we said, Proposition of
policy isa classof propositioninwhich
one that isconcernedwiththe wisdom
or unwisdom, the expediencyor
inexpediency,of acourse of action. It
aimsat action.
Thanks,Joyce.
D. Verification
Let ustry to analyze twoother
examplesshowingthisclassof proposition.
Kindlyreadexample1,May Quenne “Resolved,Thatthe term of office of the
Presidentbe six years,without
reelection.”
Thank you,May Quenne!Thisiscalled
Proposition of policy.
Kindlyreadexample2,Lorgen “Resolved,Thatthe Chineseare a
menaceto ournationalsecurity.”
Thank you,Lorgen!Thisiscalled
Proposition of fact.
E. Restatementof Generalization
Is the lessonunderstoodnow? Yes Sir.
So,will youdifferentiate again
Proposition of fact andProposition
of policy, Cetadel. Proposition of fact statesthatit aimsat
belief whileProposition of policy aimsat
action.
Well said,Cetadel.
F. Evaluation
Let ustry these illustrationsonthe board,identify
whichone is Propositionof factand
whichone isPropositionof policy.
Alsogive yourreasonswhyyousaidso.
