tasks included in the module.

For the Learner:

Welcome to the English 10 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Formulating
Claims of Fact, Policy, and Value!

In our lives, there will be a time that we need to justify our statement; when we justify it, this
statement becomes a claim. But there are different types of claims and in this lesson, we will
explore on what types you are expressing when you do so.

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for guided
and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to process the
contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.
 What I Need to Know
This module will assist you in making the learners formulate claims of fact,
policy and value.
You guide the learners as they identify, construct and appreciate the
importance of claiming fact, policy and value.
Answers are written at the back of this module. Inculcate to the learners the
value of honesty while answering this module.

For the learner

In our lives, we come to a situation where we need to identify facts from other
information. There are also times that we need to understand policies for us to be

live by them.
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
