What’s In
Hello learners! This time you will learn a new lesson which will give you idea
on how to distinguish types of text writing. Before we will proceed deeper to
understand clearly what this topic is all about let us refresh our background
knowledge on informative, journalistic and literary writing.
TEXT
A piece of writing that you read or create.

online journalism. It is written originally by a writer or journalist with a unique style and
construction level. It’s main goal is to give informative articles to the readers. News
and information are example of journalistic text.
LITERARY TEXT

appreciation of the cultural heritages of students. It is something related or associated
with literature or scholarly learning and writing. It has a wide variety of imaginative and
creative writing that leads to the appreciation of the cultural heritage.

What’s New
Preliminary Activities:
Now that you are refreshed with the new words introduced to you, try to
answer the given activity attentively.
Activity 1 – Identify the Text
Look at the given sample texts, then identify/distinguish which text type are
examples of informative, journalistic, or literary. Then write your answer at the side of
each texts provided for your answer.
TEXT TYPE OF

1.
So the thing to do when working on a motorcycle, as in any
other task, is to cultivate the peace of mind which does not
separate one’s self from one’s surroundings. When that is done
successfully then everything else follows naturally. Peace of
mind produces right values, right values produce right thoughts.
Right thoughts produce right actions and right actions produce
work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the
serenity at the center of it all.
—Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
2.
With an artistic drama, we empathize with one or more of its
characters, but there’s also a distance between us and their
situation—a safety valve that allows us to express a range of
emotions, but also to say, “It’s only a movie,” “It’s only a play,”
“It’s only a novel.” Work is based upon problem solving, how to
eliminate conflict and get the job done. Episodic is fine for
work. We want day-by-day not confrontational trauma—even if
it would lead to life-changing revelation. But drama
exaggerates conflict, pushes situations to their extreme, and
leads us to a big turning point.
3.
In a poem entitled Four Great Poets, Robert Francis puts his
finger on the heart of Frost’s greatness: “His head carved out of
granite O / His hair wayward drifts of snow / He worshipped the
great God of Flow / By holding on and letting go.” Here’s an
example from part of one of Frost’s lesser known pieces, For
Once, Then, Something. In the first half he says friends rebuke
him for looking into a well and seeing only himself, reflected in
the water godlike in a wreath of ferns and cloud puffs. It’s a
criticism that could be aimed at any writer, but what is as
interesting as the meaning of Frost’s reply is this sense of
movement that carries the reader forward to the climatic end.

5.From Beowulf
And then, in the morning, crowds surrounded
Herot, warriors coming to that hall
520 From faraway lands, princes and leaders
Of men hurrying to behold the monster’s
Great staggering tracks. They gaped with no sense
Of sorrow, felt no regret for his suffering,
Went tracing his bloody footprints, his beaten
525 And lonely flight, to the edge of the lake

Where he’d dragged his corpse like way, doomed
And already weary of his vanishing life.
The water was bloody, steaming and boiling
In horrible pounding waves, heat
530 Sucked from his magic veins; but the swirling

Surf had covered his death, hidden
Deep in murky darkness his miserable
End, as hell opened to receive him.
Then old and young rejoiced, turned back
535 From that happy pilgrimage, mounted their
hardhooved
Horses, high-spirited stallions, and rode them
Slowly toward Heorot again, retelling
Beowulf’s bravery as they jogged along.

5. Why is stage fright considered normal?
6. Do you agree with the idea? Explain your answer
For those who do not have the internet, I want you to read the informative text.
Conquering Stage Fright
Many people are gifted with different talents but most of them are just a part of the
audience on certain occasions. Their stage fright is the very reason why some are
not stage performers. It is normal to experience stage fright according to stage
performers. Actors and actresses believe that you can overcome your stage fright.
By changing your perception about stage fright and by following basic tips, you can
conquer it.
Try these tips to get you on stage without butterflies in your stomach.
Practice. Constant practice makes perfect. You have to trust yourself. Self-
confidence is the best way to control or overcome stage fright.
Talk to yourself. Instead of thinking that you will be forgetting some lines, or that
you will not be able to pronounce the words correctly, think that you will be delivering
flawlessly, that you have talents to show, and that people will appreciate your
extraordinary performance.
Visualize. Picture yourself on stage with so many people listening as you do your
part without committing a single mistake.
Practice with a small audience. After you have practiced your piece alone, you
may invite other family members or friends to listen as you rehearse. Or prior to
inviting other people, you may rehearse in front of a mirror for you to see the needed
improvements to your facial or body gestures.
Are you beginning to feel confident as the curtain is about to unfold? Are you
still nervous? If yes, don’t worry, that’s normal. Here are some suggestions to
overcome nervousness.
Yawn. Our body needs oxygen to keep our muscles relaxed. Yawning keeps our
tight muscles relaxed and breathing becomes shallow.
Stretch. Just like yawning, stretching also helps muscles relax. Do some simple
exercises like shaking your hands and feet, rotating your neck and your head, then
keep still until the spotlight hits you.
Focus on the first few lines of your piece. After you have delivered the first few
lines, you will notice that your nervousness is slightly disappearing.
Trust yourself. Keep telling yourself that you will not make the audience notice it.
After your successful performance, you will realize that you can overcome
6
your stage fright and face the even work to your advantage if you learn to overcome
it. After that flawless performance comes another until facing big audiences becomes
fairly easy.
After each performance and your audience is standing ovation acknowledging

your extraordinary performance, bow your head gently and be humble.

Sample of Journalistic Writing
BAYOMBONG, NUEVA VIZCAYA—Vegetable farmers dumped tons of ripe

tomatoes on roadsides here and in nearby Ifugao province due to a glut in supply
and low market prices.
Small and medium-sized tomatoes were found abandoned along the roads in
Tinoc town in Ifugao on Tuesday, a week after tomatoes were also seen rotting on a
roadside in Bambang town in this province.
“The sorry sight of dumped tomatoes adds to the woes of farmers, who are
suffering from the impact of the quarantine,” Adrian Albano, administrator of Ifugao
Highland Farmers’ Forum, told the Inquirer by telephone on Thursday.
According to farmers, the low retail price of tomatoes would prevent them
from recovering their huge production expenses, as it would only cost them more to
transport the produce to buyers.

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines’ confirmed coronavirus disease 2019

(COVID-19) cases surged to 20,626 as the Department of Health (DOH) reported
Friday an additional 244 cases.Meanwhile, 82 more patients have recovered from
the respiratory disease, bringing the total recoveries to 4,330.
The new reporting system has resulted in a massive surge in new COVID-19
cases in recent days. But the DOH said the spike in cases does not mean that the
outbreak is getting worse as it attributed the increase to the government’s increased
testing capacity and “aggressive efforts” to catch up on the validation backlogs.
Earlier, COVID-19 Response Deputy Chief Implementer Vince Dizon said the
government is now eyeing to include asymptomatic patients in its “expanded
targeted testing” program.
This came as he reported that the country’s rated testing capacity increased
to nearly 42,000 a day.
However, the DOH earlier said that daily actual tests done by all the
accredited laboratories is only around 8,000 to 9,000 as some testing centers face
operational issues.There are currently 52 accredited laboratories nationwide, of
which,
10
40 can use RT-PCR tests while the other 12 are testing centers licensed to use
GeneXpert rapid tests.

Content Checklist:
 Contact information: This often ends up being the flap or the back of the
brochure; should contain all the ways your clubs or organization can be
contacted (names, addresses, phone number, email, web address)
 Mailing addresses: One of the outside panels of your brochure should have a
return address for your organization and a blank area where you can stick a
mailing label or write and address. Saves you the cost of envelopes!
19
 Front cover. This should contain your name, logo, and slogan, but not much
more. Keep it from getting too crowded and chaotic,but try to make the reader
interested in opening the brochure up and reading on.
 Features/benefits: This is usually the inside of the brochure. This part of your
brochure should tell a bit about what your program does and what the benefits
are to those who become involved.
 Action: What can the reader do? This could focus on how the volunteer can
pitch in and help the group or coalition, or it could focus on how the volunteer
can benefit from the services him/herself. You can include both, if you’d like.
 Elsewhere, if desired, a brief history of the organization, directions on how to

access or use services provided, how the organization is funded, or information
on the staff.

What This Module is About
The sequence of words is crucial when communicating in English because it

can affect the meaning of what you’re trying to say to the other person or something
you have written. The sentence, “Maria crossed the road” and “The road crossed
Maria” could entirely mean two different meanings because the subject and object
are inverted. The same would be true if the verb was used out of order, for instance:
“Crossed the road Maria”
It is then important to learn the correct way of how words are arranged in a
sentence. Hence, this module is very much helpful for you.
What I Need to Know
This Module is intended to:

1. Identify the word order in a sentence
2. Use normal and inverted word order in creative writing

What’s New
Just saw this and thought I'd share
I'm very ugly

So don't try to convince me that
I am a very beautiful person
Because at the end of the day
I hate myself in every single way
And I'm not going to lie to myself by saying
There is beauty inside of me that matters
So rest assured I will remind myself
That I am a worthless, terrible person
And nothing you say will make me believe
v
I still deserve love
Because no matter what
I am not good enough to be loved
And I am in no position to believe that
Beauty does exist within me
Because whenever I look in the mirror I always think
Am I as ugly as people say?
(now read bottom up).
By Abdullah Shoaib

Is there a difference when you read it from top to bottom and from bottom to
top?
In English language, the positions of the subject and the verb in the sentence
determine the sentence’s word order. There are two kinds of word order in English:
A. Natural/ normal word order
B. Inverted word order
Sentences that name their subjects and then say something about it are in
natural/normal word order. Most sentences follow this pattern. Even commands in
which subject is unstated are in natural/normal word order.
Natural/
Natural/ (A) Many
Normal:
+ Pray + for + healing.
(You) + Come + here + now.
Normal:
(preposito
(subject)
(subject- + (main verb) + (adverb (object)
+ (main verb) + n) (adverb of time)
unstated) of place)
When the verb or part of the verb comes before the subject, the sentence has
inverted word order. If the sentence starts with a negative, the auxiliary verb comes
first.
vi
Inverted
Never + Would + he + come near year.
:
(negative (auxiliary
+ + (subject) (predicate)
word) verb)
A sentence has an inverted word order when an adverb, a helping/ auxiliary

verb, or prepositional phrase is located at the beginning of the sentence and
modifies/describes the verb instead the subject.
Certain sentence types require inverted word order, in which the verb is placed
first before the subject.
 Interrogative sentences (Questions)
Example: What have you done to the victims?
(Verb)(subject)
 Declarative sentences that begin with negative or restrictive words such as

never, rarely, scarcely, hardly ever, and not only.
Example: Not only had I gone to the market but also had cleaned the house.
What Is It
Task 1.2 What Am I

Activity: Determine whether the sentences are in natural/normal order or inverted
word order by placing check ( ) on the right column.

What’s More.
Is it possible to change the natural/ normal word order into inverted word
order? The answer is yes!
In transforming natural or normal order to inverted, you simply put the word (or group
of words- phrase) that follows after the verb on the first part of the sentence.
Ex. Many people are on the island. (natural/normal word order)
Subject verb prep. phrase
(Inverted word order) On the island are many people.

food is really good. Mexico City is a very interesting place to visit. It has some great
museums and lots of fascinating old buildings. The hotels are too expensive to stay but

Lesson Skimming Author’s Purpose
1
What I Need to Know
At the end of this module, you should be able to:
1. Define what skimming is.
2. Appreciate the function of skimming.
3. Use skimming skill in a given text to get the main idea from the author.
What’s New
Why skim?
You need the “big picture” or main points when you’re reading. Even if you’re going
to do a more detailed reading of the text, skimming as a form of previewing can help you
better comprehend what you read. Knowing when 1 and how to skim will help you become a
more efficient, strategic reader. You’ll become better at determining what parts of the text
are most important. There may also be times when your professor wants you to understand
the big picture, not all of the little details. In these cases, skimming helps you understand the
overall points of the text and its relevance to your course without bogging you down.
Make the most of your time. Sometimes you don’t have time to do everything. With
skimming, you’ll be able to cover vast amounts of material more quickly and save time for
everything else that you have on your plate. Maybe you don’t have time to finish your
reading before class, but skimming will help you get the main points and attend class much
more prepared to maximize in-class learning.
xix
You need to review a text you have read before. Skimming is also an efficient way to
refresh your memory of large amounts of material before an exam. Skimming a text that you
have already read helps you recall content and structure.
What Is It
Skimming to save time
Skimming can save you hours of laborious reading. However, it is not

always the most appropriate way to read. It is very useful as a preview to a
more detailed reading or when reviewing a selection heavy in content. But when you skim,
you may miss important points or overlook the finer shadings of meaning, for which rapid
reading or perhaps even study reading may be necessary.
Use skimming to overview your textbook chapters or to review for a test. Use
skimming to decide if you need to read something at all, for example during the preliminary
research for a paper. Skimming can tell you enough about the general idea and tone of the
material, as well as its gross similarity or difference from other sources, to know if you need
to read it at all.
To skim, prepare yourself to move rapidly through the pages. You will not read every
word; you will pay special attention to typographical cues-headings, boldface and italic type,
indenting, bulleted and numbered lists. You will be alert for key words and phrases, the
names of people and places, dates, nouns, and unfamiliar words. In general follow these
steps:
Read the table of contents or chapter overview to learn the main divisions of ideas.
Glance through the main headings in each chapter just to see a word or two. Read
the headings of charts and tables.
Read the entire introductory paragraph and then the first and last sentence only of each
following paragraph. For each paragraph, read only the first few words of each sentence or
to locate the main idea.
Skimming is not…
Skimming can present problems if not done intentionally. Skimming is not simply
flipping through a text quickly or paying half attention to it. When skimming, be deliberate
and intentional with what you choose to read, and make sure that you are focused.
Skimming is not a lazy way out or a half-hearted attempt at reading. Make sure that you use
it carefully and strategically and are able to walk away with the main ideas of the text.
xx
Skimming methods
Beginnings & endings: Read first and last sentences of paragraphs, first and last
paragraphs of major sections, and introductions and summaries of chapters.
Wheat vs. chaff: Read only the amount of text necessary to determine if a section presents a
main idea or support for a main idea.
Visual & verbal cues: Watch for signal words and phrases that indicate an author’s direction
(e.g., however, although, moreover, in addition to). Things to focus on while skimming:
• Introduction and conclusion 2

• Chapter/section summaries
• First and last sentences
• Titles, subtitles, and headings
• Bold words
• Charts, graphs, or pictures
• End of chapter review questions
When to skim
There are certain texts that lend themselves to skimming better than others. It is
typically less beneficial to skim novels, poetry, and short stories or texts that do not have text
features such as such as tables of content, chapter or section summaries, headings, bold
words, pictures, and diagrams. Non-fiction texts, like textbooks, journal articles, and essays
are typically full of these kinds of text features and are more suited for skimming.
Skimming can also be a good tool for conducting research and writing papers.
Typically, when researching or writing, you will not need to read every word of every text
closely, but will benefit more from skimming while evaluating your sources or identifying
information important to your work.
Finally, know your context. There may be some texts that you are better off reading
closely and thoroughly. Some professors specifically tell you that they include small details
from the textbook on exams. You may have some classes that are just difficult to
understand, and you may find that reading closely helps you comprehend concepts better.
Before skimming, spend some time thinking about your classes, professors, and needs to
determine if you have any texts you may need to read more closely.
Active reading strategies
When skimming, it’s important to continue to use active reading strategies. This
keeps your brain active, engaged, and focused, and helps you understand and retain
information better and longer. Here are a few effective active reading strategies to pair with
skimming:
Set a purpose for reading. Instead of approaching the text as something you just have to get
through, identify a purpose for this reading. What do you want to get out of it? Why are you
reading it? Keep this purpose in mind as you read.
xxi
Preview. Look through the text before started to read and focus on headings,
illustrations, captions, highlighted items, end of chapter summaries, etc. These features give
you an idea of the main concepts of the text and what you should focus on while skimming.
Make a prediction. Right after previewing, make a prediction about what you think the
chapter or section is going to be about.
Activate prior knowledge. Make a list of what you already know about the topic and
what you want to know about it. Identify and write down any questions you have.
Annotate. Instead of copying down copious notes from the book, jot down brief notes and
thoughts (in your own words) in the margins of the text or in a notebook. PDF viewers, such
as Adobe Acrobat and Preview, also let you add notes directly on the page of a digital text.
Other possibilities include note-taking apps such as Evernote, OneNote, or Google
Keep.Summarize the main ideas. After a section or page, stop and write a 1-3 sentence
summary in your own words. This keeps your brain engaged and ensures you are
comprehending what you read.
Generate questions. Ask and write down questions that you have as you read the
text and/or questions that you would ask a class if you were the instructor. Try using different
levels of questions.

Lesson Compounding and Blending
1
What I Need to Know
xxxiv
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
 explain the meaning of word through word formation: compounding

and blending
What’s In
Word formation is making a

new word. The creation of a
new word uses many methods
and the process of forming new
words show the constantly
changing nature of language.
What’s New
Task 1. Pictures on the go!
Here are the pictures that can create a number of possible compound words.
Write down all the compound words that can be made from a specific root word.
Ex. handshake 1. water__________
handmade _______________
handball _______________
xxxv
2. head__________ 3. sea__________
_______________ ______________
_______________ ______________
Task 2.Guess what is the picture all about. Combine two words (blending some sounds)

2. __________ + __________ = ____________
Task 3. Put two words together and blend or omit a few sounds to make
compound/blended word.
Ex. chill + relax = chillax

friend + enemy =
television + marathon =
car + hijack =

Stay + vacation =
What Is It
Compounding is the formation of word out of two or more words combine into a single
new word. Compound words may be written as one word or as two words
joined with a hyphen. The two words don’t lose their individual sounds.
Examples:
mailman handbag
high school fingerprint
notebook sky-dive
Note that compounds are written in various ways in English. They may be written in three types:
1. Open Compound Words (with a space between the elements as in disc jockey, hot dog…)
2. Closed Compound Words (simply with the two roots run together with no separation as in
wallpaper, playground…)
3. Hyphenated Compound Words (with the hyphen between the elements as in part-time,
mother-in- law…)
Task 4 Underline and indicate the type of compound words used in the sentence. Write it on the
space provided.
_________ 1. Anna is asleep in her bedroom.
_________ 2. Five months have passed and it has been a bittersweet quiet.
_________ 3. Pregnant women should try sugar-free products to satisfy their intense cravings.
_________ 4. Her eyes behind the glasses looked like the full moon shining into two windows.
xxxvii
_________ 5. Bluetooth will allow people to be more innovative with the communications.
Blending is the word formation process in which parts of two or more words combine to
create a new word whose meaning is often a combination of the original words.
Below are examples of blending words.
breakfast + lunch = brunch
smoke + fog = smog
news + broadcast = newscast
cybernetic + organism = cyborg
web + seminar = webinar
Task 5. Underline the blended word in the sentence. Then, identify the combination of
blended words. Write your answer on the space provided. The first one is done for you.
ex. Our family always have brunch together on Sunday.
breakfast + lunch = brunch
1. John decided to take his vacation time at home and just take a staycation.

What Is It
Clipping – it is a word formation process when a word of more than one syllable is
reduced to a shorter form. It is called clipping because you “clip off” one part
from the rest.
Examples:
advertisement – ad
gasoline -- gas
telephone – phone
phone (tele + phone)
influenza – flu
Acronyms are formed by taking the initial letters of a phrase and making a word out of
it.
Examples:
ASAP – As Soon As Possible
AWOL – Absent Without Leave
LASER – Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission Of Radiation
NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Folk Etymology refers to the changing of a word or a phrase over time which results
from the replacement of an unfamiliar form by a more familiar one. That is to
say, the study of origin and history of words and the changes in their form
and meaning.
Example:
Female from the Old French word “femelle”

xlv
Bridegroom from the Old English word “Bryd-guman"
Cockroach from the Spanish word “cucaracha”
What’s More
brunch café asap spork disco
kilo motel chairman sitcom modem
