TEXT MATERIALS: (With answers)

Passage #1 - Chemical and Physical Changes

All matter, all things can be changed in two ways: chemically and physically. Both chemical
and physical changes affect the state of matter. Physical changes are those that do not
change the make-up or identity of the matter. For example, clay will bend or flatten if
squeezed, but it will still be clay. Changing the shape of clay is a physical change, and does
not change the matter's identity. Chemical changes turn the matter into a new kind of matter
with different properties. For example, when paper is burnt, it becomes ash and will never be
paper again. The difference between them is that physical changes are temporary or only
last for a little while, and chemical changes are permanent, which means they last forever.
Physical and chemical changes both affect the state of matter.

Compare and Contrast

Passage #2 - The Best PB & J Ever

When I got home from school after a long boring day, I took out the peanut butter, jelly, and
bread. After taking the lid off of the jars, I spread the peanut butter on one side of the bread
and the jelly on the other, and then I put the two pieces of bread together. After that, I
enjoyed it while watching "Cops" on the TV. I swear, that was the best peanut butter and
jelly sandwich I ever ate.

Passage #3 - Bobby Fischer

Robert James Fischer was born in Chicago but unlocked the secrets of chess in a Brooklyn
apartment right above a candy store. At the age of six he taught himself to play by following
the instruction booklet that came with his chess board. After spending much of his childhood
in chess clubs, Fischer said that, "One day, I just got good." That may be a bit of an
understatement. At the age of 13 he won the U.S. Junior Chess Championship, becoming
the youngest Junior Champion ever. At the age of 14 he won the U.S. Championship and
became the youngest U.S. Champion in history. Fischer would go on to become the World
Champion of chess, but he would also grow to become his own worst enemy. Instead of
defending the title, he forfeited it to the next challenger without even making a move, and the
rise of a chess superstar ended with a fizzle.

Chronological Order

Passage #4 - Save the Tigers

Dr. Miller doesn't want the tigers to vanish. These majestic beasts are disappearing at an
alarming rate. Dr. Miller thinks that we should write to our congress people. If we let them
know that we demand the preservation of this species, maybe we can make a difference.
Dr. Miller also thinks that we should donate to Save the Tigers. Our donations will help to
support and empower those who are fighting the hardest to preserve the tigers. We owe it to
our grandchildren to do something.

Problem and Soluton

Passage #5 - The Great Recession

LEARNING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM (LRMDS)

Many people are confused about why our economy went to shambles in 2008. The crisis
was actually the result of a combination of many complex factors. First, easy credit
conditions allowed people who were high-risk or unworthy of credit to borrow, and even
people who had no income were eligible for large loans. Second, banks would bundle these
toxic loans and sell them as packages on the financial market. Third, large insurance firms
backed these packages, misrepresenting these high-risk loans as safe investments. Fourth,
because of the ease of acquiring credit and the rapid growth in the housing market, people
were buying two or three houses, intending to sell them for more than they paid. All of these
factors created bubbles of speculation. These bubbles burst, sending the whole market into
a downward spiral, causing employers to lose capital and lay off employees. Consumer
spending then plummeted and most businesses suffered. The economy is like a big boat,
and once it gets moving quickly in the wrong direction, it's hard to turn it around.

Cause and Effect

Passage #6 - Screen Protector

Before applying the screen protector, clean the surface of your phone's screen with a soft
cloth. Once the surface of your screen is clean, remove the paper backing on the screen
protector. Evenly apply the sticky side of the screen protector to your phone's screen.
Smooth out any air bubble trapped on between the protector and the phone screen. Enjoy
the added protection.

IV. EVALUATION:
Task 3: PRESENTATION OF GROUP OUTPUT

Content Development
Each group shall be given 2-3 minutes to present their output in the class.

HOLISTIC RUBRIC (to be used by the teacher in rating the presentation)

Content Development
The teacher shall explain the rubric to be used in grading the
presentation.

4 (80-100%) The group excellently identified the structure of the text

and put suited information to its corresponding graphic
organizer. Presentation was superb.

3 (70-79%) The group identified the text structure but some

information in the graphic organizer was not suited.
Presentation was effective though.

2 (60-79%) The group was unable to identify the text structure

correctly so had chosen the incorrect graphic organizer
too. Presentation was fine anyway.
LEARNING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM (LRMDS)

1 (50-59%) The group demonstrated little understanding of the task

assigned.
V. AGREEMENT:

The class shall be tasked to cut and paste an article (at least 3) on their notebook from a
magazine, newspaper, pamphlet, journal, or research and identify its structure. Explain their
answer in two to three sentences.
