2. Lesson 3
EVALUATIVE STATEMENTS

3. EVALUATIVE STATEMENTS
An evaluative statement is a way of
giving a better explanation to show
the strength and the weaknesses of
something through writing.

4. You may compose your
evaluative statements in two
steps:
1. Formulating Assertions about the
content and properties of a text read
2. Formulating a meaningful
counterclaim in response to a claim
made in the text read

5. Assertion
Assertion is a stylistic approach or
technique involving a strong
declaration, a forceful or confident
and positive statement regarding a
belief or a fact. Often, it is without
proof or any support.

6. Assertion
- Its purpose is to express ideas or
feelings directly
- an honest and appropriate
expression of one's feelings,
opinions, and needs.

7. Types of Assertion

8. Statement of Fact
This is a statement that can be
proven objectively by direct
experience,
testimonies of witnesses, verified
observations, or the results of
research.

9. Example
The sampaguita's roots are used for
medicinal purposes, such as an
anesthetic and a sedative.

10. Statement of Opinion
Opinions are based on facts, but are
difficult to objectively verify because
of the
uncertainty of producing satisfactory
proofs of soundness.

11. Example
The popularity of sampaguita
flowers is most evident in places of
worship.

12. Statement of Convention
A convention is a way in which
something is done, similar to
traditions and norms. Conventions
depend on historical precedent,
laws, rules, usage, and customs.

13. Example
The sampaguita belongs to the
genus Jasminum of the family
Oleaceae.

14. Statement of Preference
Preferences are based on personal
choice; therefore, they are subjective
and cannot be objectively proven or
logically attacked. he sampaguita
belongs to the genus Jasminum of
the family Oleaceae.

15. Example
Sampaguitas are the most beautiful
and most fragrant of all flowers.

16. COUNTERCLAIMS

17. Counterclaim
Counterclaims are claims made to
rebut a previous claim. They provide
a contrasting perspective to the
main argument.

18. The following questions will help you
formulate a counterclaim:
• What are the major points on which
you and the author can disagree?
• What is the strongest argument? What
did they say to defend their position?
• What are the merits of their view?

19. The following questions will help you
formulate a counterclaim:
• What are the weaknesses or
shortcomings in their argument?
• Are there any hidden assumptions?
• Which lines from the text best support
the counterclaim you have formulated?
