LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET IN ENGLISH 6


Third Quarter

Learning Competency:
- Present a coherent, comprehensive report on differing viewpoints on an issue
( EN10LC-IIId-3.18 )

Lecture/Content:

Have you ever experienced having a discussion with someone who has a different
idea from yours? Presenting different ideas could sometimes create conflicts. But if
everyone is given a fair chance to be heard, it actually makes meaningful conversations.

Let us dig deeper into our lesson. It is time for you to learn more about the
different terms related to presenting a coherent report.
Viewpoint is the way a person sees things, understands issues or comprehends
ideas from his/her own point of view or perspective. Differing viewpoints also means
opposing viewpoints.

Issues can be viewed from different perspectives. The positions of people


regarding an issue may be affected by the evidence found, researched facts, their
philosophy, or even their life experiences.

A report is a short, sharp, concise document which is written for a particular


purpose and audience. It generally sets out and analyzes a situation or problem. It is a
factual paper that needs to be clear and well-structured.

Presenting a report on differing issues might be a bit challenging, but if you are
familiar with the proper flow of a report, it is going to be a lot easier!
Here is the basic structure of a report:

Element Explanation
Title The title and purpose of the report is
presented in this part.
Introduction The topic is introduced and the specific
problem within the topic is also
identified. Important terms used in the
report are also defined in this part.
Body This part of the report should be divided
into sections with headings such as
‘Definition of the Issue’, ‘Presenting
Different Viewpoints’, ‘Discussion’,
‘Results’, and ‘Evidence to Support
Viewpoints’.
Conclusion The main points made in the report are
summarized in a few sentences.
References All the sources that have been referred to
should be listed here in alphabetical
order.

One of the most important elements of a report is coherence. What is coherence


and why is it necessary in presenting a report?
Coherence is achieved when the sentences and ideas are connected, and they
flow together smoothly. A coherent report helps readers to understand clearly the ideas
presented in the report. Below are several methods that can be used to achieve
coherence in writing:
