Activity No. 1 Title: Types of Texts: Informative and Entertaining Text

Key Concepts:

Informative Text
 a type of text that presents information which aims to educate the readers. It
may contain instructions, data, definitions, descriptions of a certain phenomena or details
about a fact. (Mometrix.com)
 An example of this is an ENCYCLOPEDIA, which is a collection of books on a
shelf intended to cover all the sciences and knowledge of mankind, as devised by French
encyclopedists of the eighteenth century.
 Another example of an informative text is a recipe; wherein step by step
instructions on how to cook a certain food and its ingredients are indicated in its content.

Entertainment Text
 This type of text is aimed to amuse its reader. This does not mean that the text
must be happy: the text could be a tragedy (sad ending where a character dies), but the main
reason for writing the text is to entertain the reader.
 Examples of text that are written to entertain: stories, poems, dramas, songs

Directions:

_____1. Men have preserved their food from the ancient times in order to keep the results of
harvesting for winter months, for resale, for storage, and for transporting from sea to inland,
overseas, or cross-country. To do so, they generally used nature’s methods, which is drying,
parching and fermenting. Parching is the most natural method, but for many thousands of
years, others have also been used. Direct fermentation of liquids, usually by the introduction
of yeast, has not only preserved liquids but also enhanced their quality, the same of course
apply to salting. Smoking has preserved, and sometimes improved both fish and meat.

_______2. Taj Mahal is a great historical monument designed very beautifully. It is made up
of white marbles which gives it a grand and bright look. It has attractive lawns, decorative
trees, beautiful animals, etc., in its surrounding area. It is located in the Agra, up at the bank
of Yamuna River. It is a very beautiful tomb made by the King Shah Jahan in memory of
Queen Mumtaz Mahal. In the ancient time, Shah Jahan was a king and his wife was Mumtaz
Mahal. Shah Jahan loved his wife a lot and became very upset after her death. He then
decided to build a very large grave in memory of his wife. Now, it is considered as one of the
seven wonders of the ancient world. (indiacelebration.com)

______4. “Jesu, mercy,” said the king, “where are all my noble knights become? Alas that
ever I should see this doleful day! For now,” said King Arthur. “I am come to mine end. But

all this mischief.”

______5. This analysis of work of literature was completed as a homework, assignment for
an English class. The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway tells the story of an old
Cuban fisherman named Santiago; who, considered by the villagers to be the worst type of
unlucky, is still determined to win a battle against a giant Marlin off the coast of Cuba.
As his sufferings compound, we can see that Hemmingway’s quote “a man can be
destroyed but not defeated’ offers a key insight into Santiago’s life. As the story begin, we
learn that Santiago has gone eighty-four days straight without catching a fish. (uen.org)

_____6. Waiting to see his swift hard claws. Grendel snatched at the first Geat. He came to
rip him apart, cut his body to bits with powerful jaws, drank the blood from his veins, and

life shut.

oil, and a half cup of nuts (optional). First, in a skillet, put the oil in medium heat. Then, pour
over the condensed milk. Stir continuously until the milk is thick enough. To test thickness,
ladle an ample amount and let hang. If it is not runny anymore, the yema is ready. Sprinkle in
the nuts and stir for the last time. Transfer to a plate smudged with a little oil. Let cool and
mould. Serve and enjoy.

_____8. DHAKA: Hosts Bangladesh will meet Pakistan in the opening match of the four –

Activity No. 4 Title: Types of Text: Argumentative Text Day:3

Key Concept

Argumentative Text

 It is intended to make the readers see the two-sides of the issue being presented; may
it be the pros and con or the advantages and disadvantages. It is up to the reader to
choose either side.
 In other words, an argumentative text presents both arguments; both for and against
something and let the readers decide.
 It could be that both sides are presented equally balanced, or it could be that one side
is presented more forcefully than the other. (literarydevices.net)
 Below is an example of an argumentative text:

Recycling Program
 My family and I had such a grand time at my school’s Family Day celebration
last weekend. But when the day ended, I saw all over the school quadrangle cans,
plastic cups, paper plates, and other pieces of trash. The mess that I saw prompted
me to think of a way to solve the garbage problem in my school. A recycling campaign
will be an effective way to keep the school--- and other places as well---clean and
orderly.

A recycling campaign will motivate people to dispose of their trash properly.

People will begin to realize that cans, cups, and papers can be made into other
products.

Some may argue that a recycling campaign is tedious. However, if the entire
school cooperates, a seemingly monumental task will become simple and attainable.
People may ask what we are going to do with all the recyclable materials collected
from the recycle bins. These materials will be use by the students for their projects.
The remaining materials that are unused by students may be sold to recycling centers.

A recycling campaign in school will not only solve the problem of littering, but will
also teach students to become creative and resourceful. (cite the book kan Sarah)

Note:
The encircled parts of the text show the two sides of the issue on recycling trash.
Which is the main concept of an argumentative text.

Activity No. 5 Title: Persuasive and Argumentative Text Day: 4

Directions:

Write PT if the article or text is a Persuasive Text: Write AT if it is an Argumentative Text.

Write your answer before the number.

_______1. “When we consider the ubiquity of cellphones, iPods, personal computers and the
internet, it’s easy to see how science (and the technology to which it leads) is woven into the
fabric of our day-to-day activities. When we benefit from CT scanners, MRI devices, pacemakers
and arterial stents, we can immediately appreciate how science affects the quality of our lives.
When we assess the state of the world and identify looming challenges like climate change, global
pandemics, security threats and diminishing resources, we don’t hesitate in turning to science to
gauge the problems and find solutions. And we look at the wealth of opportunities hovering on the
horizon—stem cells, genomic sequencing, longevity research, nanoscience, brain-machine, etc—
we realize how crucial it is to cultivate a general public that can engage with scientific issues;
there’s simply no other way that as a society we will be prepared to make informed decisions on a
range of issues that will shape the future.”
______2. Marijuana should be legalized. We are putting too many people in prison and spending
too much money to lock them up for nonviolent crimes. (yourdictionary.com)

______3. “Are you aware that the way you dress up may have an impact on how people around
perceive you and even treat you? Clothes have an effect on the people wearing them, and they
also affect people’s perception of people who are wearing them.”
“How can this be proven? Try analysing the reaction of the people on the streets on
people wearing different types of clothing. The preference is always given to people dressed in
“business style” because this style may reflect dignity and seriousness in everything. Fashion
serves as a keen but subtle tool of the human mind’s manipulation and communicating positive
messages we want to convey.” (sarah’s book)

______4. “We’ve become accustomed to a new way of being “alone together.” Technology-
enabled, we are able to be with one another, and also elsewhere, connected to wherever or
whoever we want to be. We want to customize our lives. We want to move in and out of where we
are because the thing we value most is control over where we focus our attention. We have gotten
used to the idea of being in a tribe of one loyal to our own party.”

_____5. “Come! Be one of Us. Join the Philippine Navy now. Be a reservist.”
