B. Judging the Relevance and Worth of Ideas,
Soundness of Author’s Reasoning, and
Establishing a Effectiveness of Presentation
Purpose for the
Lesson Welcome to this engaging lesson where we
explore how to critically evaluate ideas,
arguments, and presentations. Every day, we
encounter various forms of information—on
social media, news, books, and conversations.
But how do we know which ideas are valid,
reasonable, and worth considering?

This lesson will help you develop essential

critical thinking skills by learning how to:
✅ Judge the relevance and worth of ideas
✅ Assess the soundness of an author’s
reasoning
✅ Evaluate the effectiveness of a presentation
C. Presenting I have here three statements two

s of the Lesson a bluff (false or misleading).
I will be reading each statement
aloud and ask students to guess
which one is the bluff.

Discuss their answers and explain

how we can analyze the
truthfulness of statements based
on evidence.

🔹Statements:

"The Great Wall of China is the only

man-made structure visible from
space."

"Bananas are berries, but

 strawberries are not."

"Listening to music while studying

Skills

FOUR TYPES OF EVIDENCE

1. STATISTICAL EVIDENCE - It is
known as the strongest type
of evidence. It comes in a form of
number, percentage, or surveyed type
data. This type of evidence often comes
from scientific studies, research,
experiments, and polls conducted by
experts or organizations.

Example: 75% of women in Tayabas

City…
8 out of 10 pediatricians
recommend…
16 members of the legislative
agreed upon…

Why is it strong?

Based on facts and data, making it

harder to dispute.
Provides quantifiable proof instead of
just opinions.
Helps in detecting patterns and trends
in large groups.

Possible weaknesses:

Data can be misinterpreted or

manipulated to support a biased
argument.
Some surveys and studies might not Statistical

Why is it useful?

Celebrities can influence people due to

their popularity.
Experts and authorities provide
credibility because of their knowledge
in a specific field.
Personal testimonials from users can
make a product or idea seem more
convincing.

Possible weaknesses:

Celebrities aren't always experts in the

products they endorse.
Some testimonials can be biased or
misleading, especially in
advertisements.
Just because an expert says something,
it doesn’t automatically mean it’s true
evidence is still needed.

Question:
Would you trust a celebrity's
opinion on medicine, or would you
prefer a doctor’s recommendation?

I have here 3 statements some true

each statement is true or false and
explain why.
We will discuss the correct

importance of evidence and
reasoning in making judgments.
