D. Discussing new concepts Explicit Instruction
and practicing new skills  Defining terms
#1 (Engage) Evidence
- is the available body of facts or information
indicating whether a belief or proposition is
true or valid.

 Differentiating types of evidence

Testimonial Evidence
- are statements of truth from a certain person
made under oath in a court or testimonies.
Example:
A famous scientist said that climate change is
real.
Statistical Evidence (Students will take notes)
- are the result of research or surveys, uses
numerical data and statistical analysis to
support an argument or claim.
Example:
A survey showed that 90% of students prefer
online learning.
Anecdotal Evidence
- are collected in a casual or informal manner
and rely heavily on personal testimony.
Example: Possible responses:
My friend studied last minute and still passed,  I think statistical
so cramming is effective. evidence is the
Analogical Evidence most reliable
- based on the idea that two or more things are because it uses

concepts and practicing Direction: Read each statement carefully. Identify the
new skills #2 type of evidence (Testimonial, Statistical, Anecdotal, or
Analogical) and determine whether it is Valid (✔) or Not
Valid (❌).

lesson discussion.)

What should we consider before believing evidence? Possible Responses:

 Check the source
 See if the data is
reliable
Always remember that:
 The evidence is the available body of facts or
information indicating whether a belief or proposition
is true or valid. And to know that, you need to be
familiar with the different evidence such as
testimonial, statistical, anecdotal, and analogical.
 Moreover, listening is key to gathering information.
When judging a text, consider the author's credentials,
source of information, and references to ensure its
reliability.
I. Evaluating learning Directions: Read each question carefully and choose the
