DEDUCTIVE LESSON PLAN IN ENGLISH I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the end of 20-minute discussion the students will be able to A.
identify the classes of propositions involved in the given examples. B. differentiate the two propositions presented in class; and C. give more examples of each propositions presented II. LEARNING CONTENT Two Classes of Propositions: Proposition of fact and Proposition of policy The Art of Argumentation and Debate By: Africa pp: 12-13 Material: Manila pare with sample of propositions Activity Sheets III. LEARNING EXPERIENCES (Deductive method) Teachers Activity Students Activity A. Statement of the Problem How did we define propositions last meeting? Will you define it for us Caroline?
We defined propositions last meeting as an expression in words of an act of judgment.
You have a sharp memory, Caroline Proposition are an expression in words of an act of judgment. B. Statement of Generalization For today we are going to talk about two classes of proposition. These are Proposition of fact and Proposition of policy. Have you heard of these? Okay. Proposition of fact is one that is concerned with the truth or falsity of an act of judgment. It aims at belief. It settles the question: Is this assertion true? While, Proposition of policy is one that is concerned with the wisdom or No yet Sir
unwisdom, the expediency or inexpediency, of a course of action. It aims at action. It answers the questions: Should it be done? Should this course of action be followed? Will you repeat what I have said about the two classes of propositions Emeline?
Proposition of fact is a class of proposition in which one that is concerned with the truth or falsity of an act of judgment. It aims at belief. It settles the question: Is this assertion true? While, Proposition of policy is a class of proposition in which one that is concerned with the wisdom or unwisdom, the expediency or inexpediency, of a course of action. It aims at action. It answers the questions: Should it be done? Should this course of action be followed?
Well said Emeline, you are really listening C. Inference Look at this example on the board. Please read the first example, Jennylyn.
Resolved, That elective city mayors are more efficient than appointive ones.
Thank you, Jennylyn That is an example of the Proposition of fact. Why do you think the example is Proposition of fact, Marie?
Because, it aims at belief. It settles the question under proposition of fact.
What is that question under proposition of fact, Nhoren? Is this assertion true? Sir
Good observation, Nhoren. Do you understand now the Proposition of fact? Let us move on to the second example. Will you please read it for the group Presca?
Yes Sir
Resolved, That the Filipino women should be disfranchised. Because as we said, Proposition of policy is a class of proposition in which one that is concerned with the wisdom or unwisdom, the expediency or inexpediency, of a course of action. It aims at action.
And this an example of Proposition of policy. Why did I say so, Joyce?
Thanks, Joyce. D. Verification Let us try to analyze two other examples showing this class of proposition. Kindly read example 1, May Quenne Resolved, That the term of office of the President be six years, without reelection.
Thank you, May Quenne! This is called Proposition of policy. Kindly read example 2, Lorgen Resolved, That the Chinese are a menace to our national security.
Thank you, Lorgen! This is called Proposition of fact. E. Restatement of Generalization Is the lesson understood now? So, will you differentiate again Proposition of fact and Proposition of policy, Cetadel. aims at
Yes Sir.
Proposition of fact states that it belief while Proposition of policy aims at action.
Well said, Cetadel. F. Evaluation
Let us try these illustrations on the board, identify which one is Proposition of fact and which one is Proposition of policy. Also give your reasons why you said so. Write your answer in a sheet of paper Example 1 Resolved, That The Filipino woman of yesterday was better than the Filipino woman of today. Example 2 Resolved, That Capital punishment should be abolished. Example 3 Resolved, That City mayors should be elected by popular vote. Okay, time is up. Submit your paper. IV.
