Literature acts as a form of expression for each individual author. Some books mirror
society and allow us to better understand the world we live in. However, literature confirms
the real complexity of human conflict”. Literature is a reflection of humanity and a way for us
to understand each other. Literature is important in everyday life because it connects
individuals with larger truths and ideas in a society. Literature creates a way for people to
record their thoughts and experiences in a way that is accessible to others, through
fictionalized accounts of the experience.
Geographic, Linguistic and Ethnic Dimensions of Philippine Literary History from Pre-
Colonial to the Contemporary. In this lesson the literary timeline is being discussed. To be
specific, it explained the pre Spanish literature, understanding literary history, period of
enlightenment, the American regime, the Japanese period, Philippine literature in English,
period of activism, period of the new society, the third republic, post-EDSA 1 revolution, and
21st period. In this lesson I learned many thing such as: (1) In the American Regime,
Americans influenced Filipino writers to write using the English language. English as a
medium of instruction was introduced in the schools as the intellectual language of
education. (2) The Propaganda Movement (1872-1896) was spearheaded mostly by the
intellectual middle-class like Jose Rizal, Marcelo del Pilar, Graciano Lopez Jaena, Antonio
Luna, Mariano Ponce, Jose Ma. Panganiban and Pedro Paterno and many more.
Identifying Representative Texts from the Regions. Specifically it talks about literary
periods in Philippine history, the basic elements of the literary pieces under the Japanese
Regime, American Period and Spanish Period and changes in Literature during the 21st
Century. In this lesson I learned that imagery is a poetic element that tries to create a picture

depicts a coastline in Ilocos that is constantly experiencing the battering restlessness of the
sea, Panahon na muling Padaluyin ang Agos is a persuasive essay that focuses on the
potent capacity of a national language to arouse patriotism and love of country and its

have learned in this lesson are the conventional literary genres, common characteristics of
conventional literary genres, different 21st century literary genres, and common
characteristics of modern literary genres, difference between conventional and modern
literary genres.
Context and text’s meaning this module helped me specifically develop a skill to
discuss how the different literary social and socio-cultural contexts enhance the text’s
meaning and enrich the reader’s understanding. After learning the module I was able to
identify words, ideas, structure, and purpose of the text, explore the different social and
socio-cultural contexts to enhance and enrich the understanding of the text; and appreciate
the importance of understanding the literary context and its meaning to one’s own life
experiences.
Elements of a short story. In this lesson the six basic elements of a short story is
being discussed. The basic elements are explained and enumerated, these are; character in
which they could be protagonist or antagonist, setting, plot wherein it has five parts namely;
exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution, conflict, theme, and point of
view wherein it can be first person, limited third person, omniscient third person. After
studying the lesson I was able to demonstrate understanding of a short story, analyse a
short story by identifying its basic elements; appreciate the use of multimedia in sharing the
lessons learned from a short story; and perform a self or peer-assessment in evaluating
one’s work.
Lastly, all the lesson is very useful. I’m impressed that all the topics given teach me
about literature. I’m thankful that I have this kind of subject, after learning all these things I
realized that it is important to study the literary text because it can bring back the records
that past. I encourage everyone to study literature it can help us in the future.

What I Can Do
Philippine Literary History is indeed a magnificent and vital treasure of our country. It
gives enlightenment to every Pilipino and foreigners to what our cultures are in this country.
It materializes the essence of artistry and how we give importance to what we have. As a
Grade 11 student, there are numerous ways for me to show my adaptability to our country’s
literary history, these are; (1) By studying it sincerely, (2) Witnessing it as much as possible
trough looking at pictures etc. and, (3) By giving importance to the primary essence of the
literature.
To sum it all, to show a sense of adaptability to the diverse literary history of our
country is by understanding, witnessing and analyzing the very detail of it. Just like in a
workplace, in order for you to show your adaptability, you must understand your work,
witness how your work must be done and analyze the essence of your work. By that, you are
showing your ability to adjust to your workplace and likewise to Philippine literary history.

Additional Activities
Unbeknownst to some people, even small information can actually save lives. It is
indicated in the story that a simple news was heard by them and he did not took it seriously.
Considering this, I learned that even the simplest detail we get regarding a dister or any
warnings must be heard and taken seriously. We must never neglect anything when it is
about our safety. Secondly, I learned from the story the essence of awareness. Everyone
must be encouraged to be aware about safety and protection. The narrator of the story was
not aware that the volcano was going to erupt so he was left shocked. The story clearly
evokes that awareness is a must when it comes to one’s safety. Lastly, preparedness came
into my mind when I finished reading the story. The author was not prepared and maybe
some of the people too, so they encountered certain consequences. In every situation we
must always be prepared to assure our safety. To sum it all, the story taught me about the
importance of taking the smallest information seriously, awareness, and preparedness which
paved my way towards a safe and sound environment.
