FEATURE
ITS CONCEPTS AND NATURE
If defining news were a hard task for many writers due to its
many perspectives, feature stories would be less difficult. Many
writers agree on the concepts and nature of feature stories.
A feature story is an interesting article that focuses on
certain people, places, events or subject matters like career,
relationships, money, health, lifestyle, among others. Because it
is so elaborative, a writer is “free as a bird” in crafting his
ideas, in weaving his ideas, and in presenting his ideas. Again,
redundant as it many, feature writing breaks the box of rules
where news writing is incarnated.
With such a concept in mind, you may think that feature
articles are longer, more in-depth and more elaborate than
hard news stories. They make use of the upright triangle style
rather than the inverted triangle approach most of the time.
However, as a writer, you must still keep in mind that feature
stories are lodged under the umbrella of journalism, whose
foundations are facts, facts, and facts. Hence, feature stories
are not opinion essays or editorials and should not be confused
with creative writing or works of fiction.
Variety of Tones
A feature story can take any topic Feature stories may use any form and
under the sun. The kindling of the any style depending on the writer’s
reader’s interest on such topic judicious judgement to capture easily
primarily depends on the writer’s the reader’s attention.
creativity on suing the language The feature writer may use variety of
dramatic tone; say a creepy story,
exciting narrations, suspensive drama,
angry letter, morbid experience and the
like.

MEASUREMENTS
WEEK 1-2 (OCTOBER 19 – 30, 2020)
Learning Competencies
The learner:
approximates the measures of quantities particularly length, weight/mass, area, volume, time, temperature and rate;
converts measurements from one unit to another in both Metric and English systems.
solves problems involving conversion of units of measurement.
Overview You want to repair your bedroom. You will need a ruler, a yardstick, or a tape measure in order to measure
lengths and widths. Measure the lengths and widths of your bedroom. Calculate the area of the walls. If one gallon of paint covers
250 ft., how many gallons should you buy to paint the wall and ceilings of your bedroom?
In this module, we will explore ways of measuring things in the English system and as well as in the Metric system.
When we know units of measurement are used to describe the world, we can make decisions based on understanding the numbers
and units we encounter everyday.
Key Questions:
How do we approximate the measures of quantities particularly length, weight/mass, volume,
time, angle and temperature rate?
How do we convert measurements from one unit to another in both Metric and English systems?
How do we solve problems involving conversion of units of measurement?

MEASUREMENTS
During ancient times, an Egyptian carpenter never misplaced his ruler because it was attached to his body. Because of this,
people began to use different units of measure. Some of the units are shown below.
7|Page E L E C T I V E S
Let us familiarize ourselves with the set of prefixes used throughout the system. Below are the most common prefixes and their
meanings.
Symbol k h da d c m
1
or 0.1 1 1
Value 1 000 100 10 10 or 0.01 or 0.001
100 1000
To easily remember these prefixes, observe that prefixes containing an “i” (deci-, centi-, milli-) are all fractional parts of
one unit. The prefix deci- should remind us of a word involving 10, such as decade or decimal. Centi- should remind us of a
century, which is 100 years. The prefix milli- should remind us of millennium, a period of 1 000 years. The prefixes deka-, hecto-,
and kilo- are prefixes that indicate multiplication by 10, 100 and 1 000.
METRIC PREFIXES Examples:
Prefix Symbol Multiple Equivalent 1 kilometer = 1 ×1 000 = 1 000 meters

MEASURING LENGTHS
The basic unit of length for metric measure is the meter (m). Other commonly used units include the kilometer (km), the
centimeter (cm); and the millimeter (mm).
8|Page E L E C T I V E S
The table summarizes the units related to the meter. Note that the first part of the unit indicates the prefix and the second
part indicates the meter.
METRIC UNITS OF LENGTH
WORD SYMBOL MEANING
kilometer km 1 000 meter
hectometer hm 100 meters
dekameter da 10 meters
meter m 1 meter
decimeter dm 0.1 meter
centimeter cm 0.01 meter
millimeter mm 0.001 meter
These rules are used to change from one metric unit to another.
1. To change from a larger unit to a smaller unit (moving to the right in the diagram), multiply by a power of ten. Thus, move
the decimal point in the given quantity one place to the right for each smaller unit until the decimal unit is reached.
2. To change smaller unit to a larger unit (moving to the left in the diagram), divide by a power of ten. Thus, move the decimal
point in the given quantity one place to the left for each larger unit until the decimal unit is reached.
b. 543 m to km
To convert from meters to kilometers, we start at meters and move three steps to the left to obtain kilometers.
543 m = 0.543 km
STUDY THIS! The chart below shows how customary units of lengths are related.
Customary Units: Length Another way to convert from one unit to another is called dimensional
12 inches (in.) = 1 foot (ft.) analysis. In this procedure, we use unit fractions.
A unit fraction has two properties: the numerator and denominator contain
36 inches (in.) = 1 yard (yd.) different units and the value of the unit fraction is 1. The following are examples of
3 feet (ft.) = 1 yard (yd.) unit fractions.

Examples:
a. 8 ft. = ____ in. b. 144 in. ____ yd.
Solution: Solution:
8 ft . 12∈. 144∈. 1 yd . 144.
8 ft. = × = 96 in. 144 in. = × = yd. = 4 yd.
1 1 ft . 1 36∈. 36
Approximate English and Metric Equivalents Note: 1 kilometer ≈ 0.625 mile.
1 inch (in.) = 2.54 centimeters (cm) Although most of our conversion factors are
approximates, we will use equal sign for convenience.
1 foot (ft.) = 30.38 centimeters (cm)
1 yard (yd.) = 0.9 meters (m)
1 mile (mi.) = 1.6 kilometers (km)

Examples: Convert each measurement to the indicated measurement.
a. 384 400 km = _____ mi. (distance from the earth to the moon)
Solution:
384 400 km 0.625 mi .
384 400 km = × = 384 400(0.6) mi. = 230 640 mi.

MEISURING MASS
Weight is a measure of the earth’s gravitational pull. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter that objects are made
of. The mass of an object does not change but its weight does. Weight and mass are not the same thing. However, on Earth, the
mass of an object is always proportional to the weight of the object. In this course, we shall assume that weight and mass mean the
same thing.
The gram (g) is the basic unit of mass in the metric system. Other most commonly measures of weight (mass) in the
metric system are like kilogram, gram, and milligram.
The tables and charts can be used to find equivalent measures of weight.

Meaning 1 000 grams 100 grams 10 grams 1 gram 0.1 gram 0.01 gram 0.001 gram

FAHRENHEIT SCALE - It was invented in the early 1700s by Gabriel D. Fahrenheit, a German physicist. A saltwater
solution freezes at 00F at sea level. Pure water freezes at 32 0F and boils at 2120F. The normal temperature for human body
is 98.60F.
CELSIUS SCALE – It was developed in 1742 by Anders Celsius, A Swedish astronomer. Pure water freezes at 0 0C and
boils at 1000C. The Celsius scale divides the interval between these two points into 100 equal parts.

MEASURING RATE
A rate is a ratio of two measurements having different units of measurements.
For example:
300 words in 5 minutes is a rate. When rate is simplified it has a denominator of 1, it is called a unit rate. To find the unit
rate of 300 words in 5 minutes, divide 300 by 5. The result is a unit rate of 60 words in 1 minute or 60 words per minute.
