One must develop his/her ability in critical reading to process analyzing,
interpreting, and evaluating a text, thereby using critical thinking skills to question both the
text and one's reading. Critical reading is necessary for judging the text's reliability through
the study of implicit and explicit information. This lesson will discuss the difference
between explicit and implicit writing as an integral element in writing a text.
In this module, you are expected to:
1. Identify claims explicitly or implicitly made in a written text; and.
2. Determine an explicit statement from an implicit statement.

Lesson
1 EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT CLAIMS
IN A TEXT
What's In
In the previous lesson, you have learned the "PROPERTIES OF A WELL-
WRITTEN" text. You are supposed to be aware that for a writer to express meaning in
writing, he or she must consider unity and logical arrangement of ideas; appropriateness of
language use; and proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, and format. Those considerations
make up a well-written text.
Remember, there are four characteristics to take into consideration in writing :
• Organization - refers to the arrangement of ideas in a text
• Coherence and cohesion - refer to the connection of ideas and connection
between sentences and between paragraphs
• Appropriate language use - refers to the acceptable style of language for a
particular form of text.
• Proper mechanics - refers to the conventions of writing which includes
capitalization, punctuation, spelling, numerals, abbreviations, acronyms, and
contractions.

In exploring a text, it is important that you understand what you are reading to get the
message of the text. It is necessary to develop the skill in verifying issues, affirming one's
values or even making a decision. At some point, the author does not only offer information
but he/she challenges you to give reactions.
To properly evaluate the ideas you have gathered while reading, you must be able
to know the different types of information - explicit information and implicit information.
Two Kinds of Information
Explicit Information
• It refers to information found or read in the text.
• The meaning is not vague; no further explanation is needed.
• Readers can see the piece of information stated in the given passage.
• Explicit information is any idea that is clearly stated in detail, with no possibility of
confusion.
• You see, the text explained with explicit information.
• Since you are looking for explicit information in what is read, the explicit
information will be written in the text.
• It does not need clues anymore. You just have to read the written information.
Example: Think of a door sign that says, "No Entry." This door sign explicitly tells
you that you must not enter. However, if the door sign says "Danger", the word
danger will create a feeling in and tells you that you must not enter.
Below are examples of explicit information:
Example 1: "Bambie did not like cats and had never owned one."
Explanation: The reader could obviously tell about Bambie's position on cats. It
is directly presented in the text that Bambie did not like cats.
Example 2: I am in a hurry. We'll talk about it later.
Explanation: The speaker had obviously mentioned that he is in a hurry and he
has no time to chat with someone at the moment. Hence, there is no room for doubt because
everything is clearly and directly communicated.
What's New

Implicit information
• It refers to information not directly stated in the text.
• Readers need to read between the lines to understand the details that the writer is
trying to tell.
• Implicit is implied or understood though not plainly or directly expressed.
• The implicit text gives a clue.
• The implicit idea is the primary point of a sentence or passage that is not clearly
stated but hinted at by the text's details.
• To figure out an implicit idea, one must look at the supporting details in the text.
• Figuring out what people are talking about through their actions refer to implied
ideas.
Below are examples of implicit information:
Example 1: "Bambie moved away from the cat; she'd never owned one."
Explanation: This doesn't say the words that Bambie didn't like cats, but it is the
feeling that you get when you read it. It is stated in the text that Bambie moved away from
the cat. This gives the readers a clue that Bambie did not like cats.
Example 2: Seated on a couch, Gang Tae looks at his watch and yawns several
times.
Explanation: Gang Tae's looking at his watch and yawning several times implies
that he is bored.
What Is It

What's More PICTURE ANALYSIS
Picture 1: Say something about the picture using an explicit claim /statement.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Although many schools have increased funding for girls’ sports and some
have created co-educational teams, few have opened up the “rough sports”
to girls. Football, hockey and wrestling continued to be male-dominated
activities. When female athletes participates in sports, they face social
stigma for demonstrating the same attributes that bring male athletes praise.
There is a widespread myth that competing masculinizes females.
8
RECOGNIZING THE EXPLICIT
Example picture # 1: The woman in blue is holding a bowl of fruits
and a sandwich.
Explicit information is any idea that is stated. With explicit information, you
see the text explained! Since you are looking for explicit information in what is
read, the explicit information will be written in the text. There is no need to look
for clues. Just read. If the information is written, it is explicit.
Picture 2:
What is the implied message of this ad?

PROCESSING THE IMPLICIT
Example picture #2: This is an example of implicit advertising as it implies that
"Even in the year 2020, some people are under the assumption that it is a
woman's role in life to clean and take care of the household."
Implicit information is understood, but it is not stated. To find implicit
information in what is read, you will have to think about what you read. Look
for clues as you read. Implicit information is not written.
What I Have Learned
Based on the discussion, it can be summed up with the following important points :
⚫ Critical reading is necessary for judging the text's reliability through the study of implicit
and explicit information. Critical reading is a form of language analysis that does not
take the given value but involves a deeper examination of the claims put forth and the
supporting points and possible counterarguments. ( Wikipedia )
• Explicit information is any idea that is stated or found in the text.
With explicit information, you see the text's clear or obvious meaning—no need to
explain.
• If something is implied (or implicit), the text is being suggested through the details
given in the text, which serves as a clue to get the right meaning of the text.
The idea is not clear. It needs analysis or deep thinking; thus one needs to read between
the lines.

Directions: Read the article taken from the World Health Organization ( WHO). After reading
and understanding the article, rewrite it in your own words following the four characteristics
of a well-written text integrating the two types of claims: explicit and implicit texts. Write
your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered
coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory
illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people and those with
underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease,
and cancer are more likely to develop serious illnesses.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-
19 virus, the disease it causes, and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection
by washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently and not touching your face. 9
WHO
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose
when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it's important that you also practice respiratory
etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).

Excerpt from: I Have a Dream (2)
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It would be fatal for the nation to
overlook the urgency of the moment.
This sweltering summer of the Negro's
legitimate discontent will not pass until
an invigorating autumn of freedom and
equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an
end but a beginning. Those who hope that
the Negro needed to blow off steam and
will now be content will have a rude
awakening if the nation returns to
business as usual. There will be neither
rest nor tranquility in America until the
Negro is granted his citizenship rights.
The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to
shake the foundations of our nation until
the bright day of justice emerges.
______3. Q: What important theme
topic from American literature is present
in this speech?
______4. Sherrie smiled and winked to
Ri Jung, then quickly held his hand.
______5. Sherrie liked Ri Jung.
______6. Hudson hurried out of the
house, so he wasn't late for work. He
wore overalls and carried a toolbox with
wrenches in it. He hopped in his truck
and drove off. The sign on his truck
said, "Pipe Masters."
______7. Hudson is a plumber.
______8. The little brat fiercely looked
at her mom, hurled his shoes, and
slammed the door.
______9. He tells his mom that he was
upset.
______10. The trees were swaying
wildly, and the gutters were overflowing
outside Danica's window.
