I. Essay
1. What are the common characteristics of the literary types?
 The four main literary genres are poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and drama, with each varying in
style, structure, subject matter, and the use of figurative language. The genre raises certain
expectations in what the reader anticipates will happen within that work. Characteristics of
literary text include characters, setting, plot (problem/solution), and sequence. These
characteristics help the reader understand who is in the story, where and when the story takes
place, what happens in the story, and how the events happen, etc.
2. What elements in the drama and essay are not found in the short story, novel and
poetry?
 Thought. This element refers to the ideas and the comments in human experience that are
directly or indirectly stated.
 Language. This element of drama refers to the dramatic dialogue. It may be in prose or
verse. When the dialogue is the actual way people talk, it is called naturalistic dialogue.
When the dialogue oratorical, it is called rhetorical dialogue. The verse dialogue uses poetry
for the purpose of drama.
 Climax/Denouement. This element of drama refers to the that stirs the most intense
feelings. It is the turning point of the story. In the denouement or the final part of the play that
follows the climax, the conflict is brought to an end. The playwright explains the how and the
why things turned out the way it did. It clarifies the complicated situation.
 Music and Spectacle. This element of drama refers to the “background” music, the speech
and movement. The element of spectacle enhances the setting or atmosphere whether of
happiness or the sorrow.
 Costume and Make-up. This element of drama refers to the clothes worn by the actors of
the play. The performers are helped to put on their costumes by a dressing crew. The make-
up crew assists the performers on their dressing crew. The make-up crew assist the
performers to provide the make-up needed after they are dressed. By the costumes and make-
up of the performers, the audience is attracted or moved by sights that they see on stage.
 Scenery and lighting. The elements include the backdrops or large props which should be
real. The scenery suggests the scene. It should be simple so that the imagination of the
audience will complete the picture. Happy colors are white, yellow and oink brighten the
stage.
3. When is poetry a work of art?
 when is poetry a work of art, and when is art poetry? ... Arguably the aesthetic experience of
a piece of art mirrors that of a poem – each have form, composition, and are interpreted by a
 viewer or reader who brings their own experiences and history to the canvas or page, usually
with strong emotions induced.
4. What are the purposes and intentions of essay writers in writing on a topic, issue or
problem?
 The purpose of an essay is to present a coherent argument in response to a stimulus or
question, and to persuade the reader that your position is credible (i.e., believable and
reasonable). When someone communicates ideas in writing, they usually do so to express
themselves, inform their reader, to persuade a reader or to create a literary work. It increases
understanding and helps the process of learning because it pushes you, amongst other things,
to clarify and sort out ideas and information, to analyze source material and to exercise
critical judgement.
5. What figures of speech are used by writers to enhance the beauty of their work?
 metaphors and similes are the two most commonly used figures of speech, but hyperbole,
synecdoche, and personification are also figure of speech that are in a good writer's toolbox.
A metaphor compares two things by suggesting that one thing is another. Figure of speech
helps the author to develop the story by adding exaggerations and comparing things. Figure
of speech also develops characterization and advances the plot.

Create a short story of your one-day life during the quarantine

period due to pandemic COVID-19 19. Identify the types and
elements used.
There is nothing “normal” or “routine” about this academic year. Because of the pandemic, this fall
has been different from any other, with some classes being in-person or mixed mode and some
remote; the need to wear masks and observe social distancing; and the restrictions on gatherings.
As a student during the COVID-19 pandemic, I have spent a lot of time finding my new flow. I was
the type of student who lived by the saying “The early bird gets the worm." I would often wake up
early, to do the household chores after finishing them, I will go to backyard to feed my chickens and
rabbit, then I will go to the fishpond to feed also the fish (malaga) and goats, then I will prepare what
I will cook for lunch, while waiting for the food to cook I’m reading my modules.
After lunch I will sleep for an hour then I will be answering my modules. After finishing one subject
I will take some rest. Then I will go to backyard to feed my chickens and rabbit again. I prepare what
I will cook for dinner. This is my one-day life during pandemic.

I. Essay
1. What are the different ways of presenting the subject of literature?
 Ways of Presenting the Subject of Literature

1. It is usually presented by words that express the ideas the writer wants to convey
clearly.
2. One way to of presenting the subject is by use of words which describe
realistically the images and events clearly and vividly.
3. Another way is through abstraction that is, the writer only gives the idea of
character and situation. Thus, the readers make the conclusion.
4. Also, one way of presenting the subject is through symbolisms. Sign are given on
stage to convey some elements of the story. Symbols are used to emphasize a
point.
5. Examples of symbols used in presenting a subject are a Christmas card, the star
of Bethlehem and the manager. These are symbolizing service. The story beads
symbolize religion.
6. A narrative story can be told and presented by scenes from beginning to the end.
Another way is to presented the characters through the actions of another.
7. The picture of a glamorous character changes when the narrator describes her
more clearly and vividly revealing her defects or shortcomings. A story can be
presented more vividly through a series of pictures of focusing on different
occurrences of the story without interruption.
8. The flows of ideas, memories, sensations and associations are presented through
short scenes and actions that tell what is happening to various people at various
times. The scenes are unified to give a composite picture.

2. What should be emphasized in the study of short stories, novels, essay? Why?
 Short stories, novel, essay typically focus on a single plot instead of multiple subplots, as you
might see in novels. Some stories follow a traditional narrative arc, with exposition
(description) at the beginning, rising action, a climax (peak moment of conflict or action),
and a resolution at the end. The best short stories contain a twist that comes at the very end to
catch the reader off guard. Throughout the story, the writer gives hints of what will be
revealed in the end, but they are subtle hints that will still leave the reader saying, “Of course!
I should have seen that,” as the twist in the tale is given. Its characters may be loosely based
on real-life people, and its plot may be inspired by a real-life event; but overall, more of the
story is “made-up” than real. Sometimes, the story can be completely made-up. Short stories
may be literary, or they may conform to genre standards
3. When do we say a work of poetry is useful?
 Poetry is a form of expression. Writing it lets us get out our feelings and thoughts on a
subject while reading it encourages us to connect and find meaning in our experiences. Poetry
can have a positive impact on the social and emotional learning of children. It may offer them
a new way of thinking about something.
4. Which of the approaches in the study of prose appeal to you best? Why?
 The sound approaches to teaching of prose are hose that emphasize literary
experiences rather than the facts surrounding the literary works.
Historical approach an important part of the historical method is its continuing internal dialectic.
Historical understanding grows by a process in which historians subject to criticism the ways in
which the present-mindedness of their predecessors caused them to distort the past

II. Fill in the Blanks

Complete the following sentences.
1. The HISTORICAL approach emphasizes the author and the background of the selection.
2. According to STEIN (1975), a work of poetry is useful when it can provide solace,
joy and inspiration.
3. The sound approaches to the teaching and learning of prose are those that emphasizes
LITERARY experiences.
4. Visual arts like MAPS, DRAWING, PICTURES, SLIDES FILMSTRIPS and OTHERS are
used
in the historical approach to familiarize the student or reader with the period or era the
writing was made.
5. ANALYTICAL approach involves the analysis of literary characteristics, an examination
of the ways in which an author achieves the desired effects.
6. The symbols and images the poet suggests which are called METAPHORS help clarify
his experiences.
7. The MERIT OF THE DIDACTIVE APPROACH contributes to the building of the students’
personal philosophy of life.
8. The use of ILLUSTRATION in the paraphrastic approach enlivens the lesson.
9. The EMOTIVE approach stresses the beauty or the pleasure implicit in the selection.
10. What we hunt in the study of literature are PLEASURE and UNDERSTANDING as influences
upon life.
11. PROSE literature can be fun when we enjoy the process of reading and talking
about a piece of literature.
12. Didactive approach stresses the authors purpose, not the MORAL of the story.
13. An approach to understand literature is SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL that seeks to develop the
student into thinking and feeling human being.
14. A writer does not bluntly state his purpose, the student must put together CLUES
to discover the purpose.
15. PROSE narratives can help increase social awareness.

HEAR ME OUT
Total silence began to creeps us out,
We scream for help but no one seems to hears our shout,
It all started with a tiny virus then suddenly spread out,
When can we be free and hear again the laughter’s of the crowd?

Years ago, we go out and enjoy what the world can offer,
Then suddenly our plans become blurry and began to shatter,
The roads are empty and people started to suffer,
No trace of life outside because everyone was caged in their own shelter.

Before, we enjoy others company and do everything freely,

Now, we prefer to distance ourselves from them and think negatively,
As this virus continue to succumb our society,
We can do nothing but sit in a corner and pray quietly.

When can we really take off our mask and be free from this infection?
Maybe the answer to these questions depends on how we handle the situation,
If we do our part to prevent this illness and be responsible enough with our action and decision,
Sooner or later, we can go back to our normal station.

I. Essay
1. What is the most essential element of music? Why?
 Rhythm is the essential ingredient in all music. You can mix together any sounds you want,
but if there is no underlying rhythm to the sounds, there is no music.
2. How does music influence the life of people?
 Music is a form of art. It refreshes our mind. It affects our emotions. It makes us go according
to the rhythm. For e.g., when we hear a sad song, we feel depressed. On the other hand, when
we listen to a happy song, we feel enthusiastic and joyful. When we listen to a song, we not
just hear to it, we feel that. We tend to feel that this song was originally composed for us
only. It changes the outlook of our lives. When we listen to a song, the whole world sounds
peaceful, pleasing and impressive. It makes us enjoy the little things. It helps us overcome the
troubles and serves as a handy when everything goes out of control. Music makes life
interesting. There's a famous quote, "Where words fail, music speaks". Something which
cannot be expressed in words are represented by music. It gives meaning our life. It connects
to our feelings and drive our emotions. That's how powerful music is. Music affects our
emotions. When we listen to sad songs, we tend to feel a decline in mood. When we listen to
happy songs, we feel happier. Upbeat songs with energetic riffs and fast-paced rhythms (such
as those we hear at sporting events) tend to make us excited and pumped up

II. Differentiate the following:

1. Rhythm and Harmony
 In music, 'harmony' is anything that has to do with chords and chord progressions. 'Rhythm'
is all about when notes are sounded and for how long. So 'harmonic rhythm' is about the
rhythm of the harmony. In other words, it's the duration of chords and chord progressions.
2. Melody and Dynamics
 Melody, or musical line, is a combination of pitch and rhythm (some say "duration").
Sometimes a melody is considered to be the theme of a composition. We might characterize
melody by its contour (rising or falling) and the size of the intervals in it. A melody that uses
mostly small intervals (or scale steps) and is smooth is said to be a conjunct melody. Not
surprisingly, a melody that uses large intervals is called a disjunct melody. A motif (or
motive) is either a very short melody or a distinctive part of a longer melody. I might
describe the opening four notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as a "motific cell." And
Dynamics – loud or soft. A composition that has extremely soft passages as well as
extremely loud passages is said to have a large or wide dynamic range. Dynamics can
change suddenly or gradually (crescendo, getting louder, or decrescendo, getting softer.)
3. Texture and style
 Texture – This refers to the number of tones one is expected to apprehend
simultaneously. When the texture is relatively thin air seems to circulate freely
between the tones and what each instrument is doing can clearly be heard. And Style – This
refers to the composer’s or singer’s way of doing his part. This is the
result of his temperament, outlook in life and training.

4. Color and Rhythm

 Color – This is the result of the difference in timber or quality of tone in a variety
of voices and instruments. Familiarity with the quality of sound of musical
instruments can enable one to pick them out from a symphony orchestra. And Rhythm – This
is the overall movement or swing and is considered the most
essential element of music. Rhythm includes meter which means measure of
rhythmic unit. Tempo on the other hand refers to the movement of music whether
fast or slow.

Identify at least one Filipino singer along each of the six classes of
vocal register. Give also one of his/her song that corresponds to the vocal
register.

SOPRANO

Soprano is the highest female voice type. Soprano voices are subdivided into coloratura, lyric,
dramatic and mezzo and they differ in vocal agility, vocal weight, timbre, and voice quality. All of
the sopranos have in common the ability to sing higher notes with ease. A typical soprano can
vocalize B3 to C6, though a soprano coloratura can sing a lot higher than that reaching F6, G6 etc.

It is widely thought that the higher a singer can sing, the better the singer is. This couldn’t be
further from the truth as range is defined by our physique and size of the vocal cords, and not how
professional we are.
Sarah Asher Tua Geronimo-Guidicelli (Tagalog pronunciation: [hɛˈɾɔnɪmo], born July 25, 1988)
is a Filipino singer and actor. Geronimo rose to prominence in 2002, after winning the television
singing contest Star for a Night earning her a recording
contract with Viva Records and released her debut album
Popstar: A Dream Come True (2003).
Geronimo's The Breakup Playlist entered the Billboard
World Albums which ranked 9th in 2015]and Billboard
World Digital Song Sales with the single "Tala" whick
ranked 12th in 2020
 Catch Me, I'm in Love,

ALTO

Contralto is the lowest female voice type. Alto and Contralto are used synonymously, though
contralto sometimes seems to carry the connotation of a particularly deep alto voice. It exploits the
low tones of the female voice. In a choir, contraltos are commonly known as altos and sing the
supporting melody to the sopranos. This doesn’t mean that contraltos are not as important. On the
contrary, because true altos are hard to find, a true alto has greater chances of a solo carrier than a
soprano. The quality, typically is rich, resonant, dark and 'throaty'. A contralto is expected to be able
to vocalize from E3 to F5, however, the lower her tessitura, the more valuable she is.
Celestine Cruz Gonzaga-Soriano (born January 20, 1984),
[2][3] better known as Toni Gonzaga, is a Filipina singer,
television host, actress, producer, vlogger, and entrepreneur.
 you complete me

TENOR
 Tenor is the highest male voice type you will find in a typical choir. Though it is the voice type
with the smallest range, it barely covers 2 octaves from C3 to B4, tenors are the most sought after
choir singers for two major reasons. The first reason is that there aren’t as many men singing in
choirs to begin with. The second reason is that most men, singers or not, fall under the baritone voice
type. Tenor voices, like soprano voices, sometimes are classified according to type. Robusto (robust),
lyric, drammatic and heroic are adjectives commonly attached to tenors.
Edgardo Jose "Gary" Santiago Valenciano
(Tagalog pronunciation: [valɛnˈʃano], born August
6, 1964), also known as Gary V., is a Filipino
singer-songwriter, dancer, musician, actor, music
producer and television host. Valenciano has
released 39 albums, and won the Awit Award for
"Best Male Performer" twelve times.
 "Can We Just Stop and Talk Awhile"

BASS
Bass is a general term for all low male voices, thus, a bass sings the lowest notes humanly
possible. A bass singer especially proud of his low notes may advertise himself as a BASSO
PROFONDO. A bass specializing in a lyric style will be known as a BASSO CANTANTE, and one
associated with comic roles will be known as BASSO BUFFO. A bass will be asked to sing
anywhere between a D2 and an E4.

I. Essay
1. Discuss the following:
a. The art of dancing is an essential element in creating a sound mind in a sound
body.
Dance is a fully-fledged art form, belonging to the 'performing arts', a goal in itself and a
means of allowing a human being to express his inner feelings, thoughts and experiences.
Dance is a natural form of self-expression: the body expresses itself naturally and so therefore
does the spirit. Dancing and building are the primary and essential arts. The art of dancing
stands at the source of all the arts that express themselves first in the human person. The art
of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person; and in
the end they unite. Music, acting, poetry proceed in the one mighty stream; sculpture,
painting, all the arts of design, in the other. There is no primary art outside these two arts, for
their origin is far earlier than man himself; and dancing came first. That is one reason why
dancing, however it may at times be scorned by passing fashions, has a profound and eternal
attraction even for those one might suppose farthest from its influence. The joyous beat of the
feet of children, the cosmic play of philosophers' thoughts rises and fall according to the same
laws of rhythm. If we are indifferent to the art of dancing, we have failed to understand, not
merely the supreme manifestation of physical life, but also the supreme symbol of spiritual
life. The significance of dancing, in the wide sense, thus lies in the fact that it is simply an
intimate concrete appeal of a general rhythm, that general rhythm which marks, not life only,
but the universe, if one may still be allowed so to name the sum of the cosmic influences that
reach us. We need not, indeed, go so far as the planets or the stars and outline their ethereal
dances. We have but to stand on the seashore and watch the waves that beat at our feet, to
observe that at nearly regular intervals this seemingly monotonous rhythm is accentuated for
several beats, so that the waves are really dancing the measure of a tune. It need surprise us
not at all that rhythm, ever tending to be molded into a tune, should. I It is even possible that,
in earlier than human times, dancing and architecture may have been the result of the same
impulse. The nest of birds is the chief early form of building, and Edmund Selous has
suggested (Zoologist, December, 1901) that the nest may first have arisen as an accidental
result of the ecstatic sexual dance of birds.
b. Dancing is a social grace.
is the set of conventional rules which govern the social behavior of social dance by its
participants. Such rules include the way in which the participants should look and the way in
which they approach, dance with and leave their partner. Etiquette can vary in its
specification and stringency between different styles of dance.
c. Dance techniques are based mostly on footwork
refers to dance technique aspects related to feet: foot position and foot action.

The following aspects of footwork may be considered:

Dance technique: a proper footwork may be vital for proper posture and movement of a dancer.
Aesthetic value: some foot positions and actions are traditionally considered appealing, while other
ones are ugly, although this depends on the culture.
Artistic expression: a sophisticated footwork may in itself be the goal of the dance expression.
 In the world of dance, the requirement for good technique and precision means corrects use
of the legs and feet; the footwork. Similar to building a home, careful attention is taken when
constructing the foundation. No one would say to a builder, “Forget about the foundation; just
focus on making the walls and architecture look pretty!” You don’t have to be a builder to
know that a home with a poor foundation will not stand when it is subjected to even the
smallest amount of stress. Paying close attention to the footwork in dance is also the
fundamental foundation to good technique. Incorrect use of the feet while dancing can lead to
a ripple effect of issues that, in return, impact the rest of the body’s movement: lack of
transition into the next move, change of rhythm, inability to keep up in speed, unable to keep
up with a partner, loss of rhythm in hip and torso action and the list goes on. The cure for all
of those issues is correct use of the feet and legs along with accuracy when performing the
footwork. Everything a dancer does, rising, leaping, slowness, quickness, swaying, and
action, are all connected with and credited to the feet. When we stop for a moment and
realize what the feet are capable of and how intelligently they work with the legs, it is
amazing how often they are ignored. Many doctors recommend the best way to keep your
body feeling young is to stay active. Dancers have to move in 10 different directions at once
and be able to switch quickly, building great coordination along with weight bearing,
increasing bone density and strengthening joints. Footwork also has a positive effect on the
rest of the body like improving cardiovascular fitness, increasing circulation, and decreasing
blood pressure.
2. What are the importance of the following dance components:
a. dancer
 It is through the body of the dancer that the art of dancing is portrayed, and the physical,
emotional and natural characteristics of the dancer determine the quality and nature of the
dance. The way in which dancers performs depends greatly on the land of their origin, the
dance styles, the national dress, even the climate. Dance teaches the importance of movement
and fitness in a variety of ways through a variety of disciplines. As well, dancers learn to
coordinate muscles to move through proper positions. Dancing is a great activity to pursue at
almost any age provided you are in proper health to handle the rigors of dancing for life.
b. choreographer
 He is the arranger of dances, either for a soloist or for a group and is the most
important figure in dance history. He has a creative mind that invents the order and
combination of steps, the pattern of group dances, the communication of narrative
through dance and extension of dance techniques by using familiar actions in new and more complex
ways. One of the most important things when doing choreography for theatre is to make sure the
movement follows the original interpretation. Choreographers can also help actors and singers
develop their characters, selecting rhythm and pacing to enhance their performances.

c. dance accompaniment
 Dance can be accompanied by all kinds of sound. On the other hand, it may need no sound
for the dancer who is blessed with conscious rhythm and can perform highly complex and
stylish movements in silence. It is reasonable to believe that the first accompaniment was
stamping, clapping and chanting and then, possibly drumming. In most instances, dances
require music as a complementary background element. Music can be used to provide the
beats and counts to which the dancers move around the floor. This series focuses on songs
that have no lyrics and were intended as purely musical accompaniment.

d. theatrical effects
  Where dance is spectacle, every device of costume, make-up and theatrical effect can be
used. Today, choreographers use every kind of lighting and mixed media in them production.
They use film projections. Passage of time in years can be suggested by aging the characters,
lighting can indicate different times of the day. Just like writing, acting, directing, and
lighting, sound plays a critical role in the success of any great theatrical production. Sounds
works synergistically with the other elements of the performance to help captivate the
audience and bring them into another realm. By itself, sound functions as a key technical
aspect in any acclaimed performance. To better understand the importance of sound in
theater, we’ll explore the multi-faceted role of modern sound design in theatres today.
