EPANDING THE CONTENT OF AN OUTLINE using notes.pptx
Senior High School Reading and Writing Skills
1. Objective:
Evaluate a written text based on its properties (organization,
coherence and cohesion, language use and mechanics)
2. 2. Repetitions include a word, a phrase, or a full
sentence repeated to highlight its
importance in the entire text. The repetition of the main
ideas keeps continuity and helps the
readers remain focused and headed in the right
direction.
Examples:
1. The president said, “Work, work, and work,” are the keys to
success.
2. If you think you can make it, you can make it.
3. Most students are intimated by the works of William Shakespeare.
They believe Shakepeare’s sonnets and plays are far too complicated
to read and understand.
3. Text structure
Text structure refers to the framework of a text’s
beginning, middle, and end.
Different narrative and expository genres have
different purposes and different audiences, so
they require different text structures. Beginnings
and endings help link the text into a coherent
whole.
Organization
4. Three major parts of a text
INTRODUCTION
Also called as the lead or the hook. It introduces the readers to the
purpose of the writing by introducing characters or setting(for narrative)
or the topic, thesis, or argument (for expository writing)
Text structure
BODY
The organization of the middle of a piece of writing dependes on
the genre. Researchers have identified five basic organizational
structures: sequence, description, cause and effect, compare and
contrast, and problem and solution.
Conclusion
It is the restatement of the thesis and majoir points, showing how
the writer has proven his/her position. Possible implications of what has
been discussed and writer's conclusion may also be included .
5. the skill:
The first few sentences, paragraphs or pages of a
story are the reader's entry point into a new world.
Often, a reader will decide whether or not to
continue reading based purely off a story's
exposition!
The exposition is an opportunity to introduce your
writing style, set the scene and establish your
central characters and conflict. It's extremely
important that we practice the skill of grabbing a
reader's attention straight away through an
interesting and engaging introduction.
Try to avoid boring cliche openings and instead
consider the following:
a thought-provoking question or comment
about your central theme
a surprising, strange or unexpected
statement or detail to intrigue the reader
a powerful piece of dialogue or
conversation to set the scene
jumping right into the action to create
tension or suspense
a foreshadowing clue about the character's
potential fate to make the reader wonder

LEARNING COMPETENCY:
Evaluate a written text based on its properties (organization, coherence and
cohesion, language use and mechanics)
9. In academic terms, a text is defined as written
material or piece of writing such as an article, essay,
book, magazine, or newspaper.
For a paragraph or any composition to be effective, it
must always consider the properties of a well-
written text which includes organization, cohesion
and coherence, language use, and mechanics.
Properties of a Well-Written Text
11. This is also known as an arrangement that refers
to the structural framework for
writing.
A text is considered organized when ideas are
accurately and logically arranged
with a focus on the arrangements of ideas,
incidents, evidence, or details in a definite order in
a paragraph, essay, or speech.
Organization
12. Types of Claims: Establishing Purpose and
Organization
Claims of Fact
Claims of Definition
Claims of Cause
Claims of Value
Claims of Policy
13. Five Types of Claims
Virtually all arguments can be categorized according to one
of five types of claims.
Claims can be identified by discovering the question the
argument answers.
As we browse the types, notice how the questions all invite
different purposes and different points of view.
They all lead to argument.
Claims of Fact
Claims of Definition
Claims of Cause
Claims of Value
Claims of Policy
14. Claims of Fact:
Did it happen?
Does it exist?
Is it true?
Is it a fact?
15. Fact Claim
When you insist a paper was turned in on time even if the
professor cannot find it, or that you were not exceeding the
speed limit when a police officer claims that you were, you
are making claims of fact.
16. Fact Claims
These are central to court room debate since lawyers argue
about what happened in order to prove innocence or guilt.
Historians also argue about what happened as they sort
through historical evidence to try to establish historical fact.
17. Fact Claims:
Women are as effective as men in combat.
The ozone layer is becoming depleted.
Increasing population threatens the environment.
Bigfoot exists in remote areas.
Men need women to civilize them.
18. Fact Claims
Note that all these claims are statements of fact, but not
everyone would agree with them.
They are all controversial.
The facts in these claims need to be proved as either
absolutely or probably true in order to be acceptable to an
audience.
19. Claims of Definition:
What is it?
How should we define it?
What is it like?
How should it be classified?
How should we interpret it?
How does its usual meaning change in a particular context?
20. Definition Claims:
The entire argument can center around the definition of a
term.
When you argue that an athlete who receives compensation
for playing a sport is “professional,” and thereby looses
“amateur” status, you are making a claim of definition.
21. Task 1. Read the text and write down E if the piece of information is explicit or write
down I if it is implicit.

on nature.
30. Claim of policy is the argument where actions should be carried
out. Basically, it is perceived as a relatively direct statement. This
claim can also be called claim of solution because it suggests and

39. Claim of value is an argument based on morality, belief, ethics, or
philosophy. It is influentially stated by combining limited facts
and proving them as either good or bad by targeting the reader’s
emotion.
It is also called claim of judgment because the reader has to decide
whether the argument or proposition is right or wrong or has to be
accepted or rejected. In other words, this type of claim is more
appealing to the reader’s subjectivity. If the argument challenges
the decision making or judgment leading to acceptance or
rejection of the reader, then it is considered to be a claim of value.
