QUARTER 2: MODULE 4
Introduction
This module focuses on searching a topic with support from various sources. In your
previous module, particularly module 2, you were taught to search using the search engines. In
this module, you will be again involving yourself to do research, this time using other sources
like the primary and secondary sources. These sources will be discussed here. In addition,
simplifying ideas will be tackled here this way, you may present your topic clearer making it
more understandable.
These are your general guidelines on how to use this module, please read them carefully:
Read each sentence carefully. Make sure you have understood the lesson before proceeding
to the activities. If there are any clarifications, feel free to contact your subject teacher through
any of the contact information below.
Only subject-related inquiries are to be entertained. When you contact your teacher, please
indicate your name, grade and section, and your question.. For example, say, “Good morning, I
am Juanita Dela Cruz of Grade 8-St. Matthew. Can I draw the activity instead of using cut-outs
because in our place, we ran out of magazines and newspapers? Thank you!”
b) Answer the activities given on the module. Do not leave anything unanswered.
As much as possible, do not leave the activity sheet blank and pass the activity
unanswered. Please answer the activities with all your might! Remember, the mode of
recording is based on your answered activities, thus, blank means zero or no score.
The most important thing to remember is, do not forget to write your name on the activity
sheet and of course, please write legibly so that the teacher can understand your answers.
Read the instructions carefully and follow them. If the instruction says
underline, underline it; do not circle or draw a box on it. Following instruction
will give you good grades—believe me, it’s true! If you do not follow the
instructions, either you get no score or the teacher will give you a deduction.
The pre-assessment should be answered before proceeding to the content of this module to
measure your prior knowledge.
The post-assessment should be answered after reading the concept notes to measure what
you have learned.
These assessments are not recorded, so you do not need to submit them, however these still
needs to be answered to ensure self-check.
After the post-assessment, a key answer is given. This key answer is not for you to cheat but
it is for you to check whether you answered and understood the lesson well. Be honest! Always
remember, honesty is the best policy!
The most important part of learning is to enjoy the gist of it. Hopefully, at the end of this
module, you will love English and enjoy learning! Happy learning indeed!

TYPES OF SOURCES

Discussion
Sources of information are often categorized as primary or secondary depending upon their
originality.
PRIMARY SOURCES
A primary source provides direct or firsthand evidence about an event, object, person, or
work of art. Primary sources provide the original materials on which other research is based
and enable students and other researchers to get as close as possible to what actually happened
during a particular event or time period.
Published materials can be viewed as primary resources if they come from the time period
that is being discussed, and were written or produced by someone with firsthand experience of
the event.
Examples of these sources are: speeches, excerpts from radio broadcast and podcast, novels
and short stories, letters, autobiographies and those cited in the image below.
https://ph.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=AwrwJTTtcqlhFFUAoce1Rwx.;_ylu=c2VjA3NlYXJjaARzbGsDYnV0dG9u;_ylc=X1MDMjExNDczNDA
SECONDARY SOURCES
Secondary sources often lack the freshness and immediacy of the original material
because these sources were created later by someone who did not experience first-hand or
participate in the events or conditions you’re researching.
Examples of these are: biographies, atlas, dictionaries and those mentioned in the images
below.
Well, it is true that you can see the newspaper on both kinds of sources,
but observe that they both have different topic. In our definition of these
sources, you would notice that there are words that I highlighted. These
will be your guide in deciding whether a particular text is primary or
secondary. Example, the actual speech of President Duterte that is
published in the newspaper is considered primary sources on the other
hand, if the speech is explained or interpreted by a columnist and
published it in the newspaper then it is secondary sources.
POST-ASSESSMENT
Miss Yeyeng was a young woman who painted a heavy coat of rouge on her face. They say
that her parents were born in a corner of Pampanga, in one of the smallest towns of the province.
Because of this, Miss Yeyeng was a Filipina from head to foot, a Kapampangan to the very tip
of her hair.
Her family, being poor, earned its living by peddling food; and Miss Yeyeng was frequently
seen selling guinatan or bichu-bichu, which she carried in baskets on top of her head and
peddled around gambling places. Up to this time, nothing had changed in the life of this miss.
The revolution ended. The American military government opened schools and assigned
some soldiers to teach there. It happened that Yeyeng—she was still Yeyeng at the time, without
the title “Miss”—had a customer among these soldiers or teacher-soldiers. This customer urged
her to study in the school where he was teaching, so that they would understand each other; as of
then, the soldier would speak in English and Yeyeng in Kapampangan, so Yeyeng already spoke
English; after exactly eight months, on the recommendation of the teacher-soldier, Yeyeng was
sent to another town to be a teacher there.
Once she became a teacher, the people there naturally looked up to her because they saw that
she knew more English than they did.
That was how time passed: Miss Yeyeng hardly ever spoke Kapampangan anymore because,
according to her, she had already forgotten how. She also claimed that Kapampangan was hard
to pronounce and twisted her tongue, which was why she could no longer speak straight
Kapampangan.
When they heard of this, the mischievous people who knew her immediately began to poke
fun at her behind her back. They even went so far as to change her name, calling her by the
clangorous and mocking name of “Miss Phathupats”, a reference to her wide hips, which she
tried hard to constrict by means of a tight corset she wore, with the result that she resembled a
patupat, or tightly bound suman.
From that time, the name caught on and people consequently forgot her nice-sounding
nickname of Yeyeng. She came to be known as Miss Phathupats.
Not long after, there appeared Ing Emangabiran, a Kapampangan newspaper published in
Bacolor. During a fiesta in town X, where Miss Phathupats happened to be, she saw some
people reading it. When she came nearer, however, and saw that the newspaper was in
Kapampangan, she pouted, shook her head in obvious disapproval and said: “Mi no entiende
Kapampangan.”
“Mi no entiende ese Castellano, Miss,” answered a mischievous fellow. He mimicked her
tone of voice.
Those who were around smiled; but because they were well-bred, they concealed their
amusement from the pretty Miss. Even though she knew they were laughing at her, she
continued:
“Frankly, I find much difficulty speaking in Pampangan, and even more so in reading it.”
In the little speech she proceeded to give, she sounded like a fish vendor’s wife, speaking a
smattering of English, Spanish and Tagalog, all of which she mixed up in some sort of
gibberish. The listeners could not contain themselves any longer and burst out laughing.
Miss Phathupats was angered, she faced those who were laughing and asked: “Porque reir?”
“Por el champurao, Miss,” answered the same fellow.
Those who were listening laughed all the more loudly and Miss Phathupats’ temperature
began to rise. One of those standing by said:
“Do not wonder that the Miss does not know Kapampangan: first, because she has long
associated with the American soldiers, and secondly, she is no longer Kapampangan. The proof
of this is that her name is Miss Phatupats.”
At that, all hell broke loose. The explosion was so powerful that Miss Phathupats’ cauldron
burst and from her mouth overflowed the fiery lava of Vesuvius, or in other words, a torrent of
all the dirty words in Kapampangan came rushing out of her fuming mouth.
“Shameless people! Robbers! Swindlers! Sons of ---!” all said in Kapampangan. “Aha! So
she is a Kapampangan, after all,” said the listeners.
“Yes, didn’t you know?” asked one of those who know her, “She is the daughter of old
Gading the Braggart from my barrio.”
The spectators laughed out loud. At that, Miss Phathupats broke into tears and as she wiped
away the tears streaming down her face, she also unwittingly removed the thick coat of makeup
on it. Her face then showed its true color, a color darker than the duhat fruit. When the
spectators saw this, they laughed all the more and said: “Aha! So she is dark-complexioned!”
“Yes, she is an American Negro!”
There was shouting, clapping of hands, and laughter. Miss Phathupats could not take any
more. She stumbled out and said: “Mi no vuelve en este casa.”
That is how they all ganged up on her. And poor Yeyeng left muttering to herself, with her
tail between her legs.
How many Miss Phathupats are there these days, who no longer know Kapampangan or who
are ashamed of Kapampangan just because they can speak pidgin English?

What do you want to write about? If you want to talk about sport, what sport in particular? If
you want to talk about basketball, then focus only to that particular sport. Use graphic organizer
particularly the semantic web. This is very helpful in coming up with a specific topic. Using
sports as the topic, the semantic web can look like this:
volleyball
Basketball
boxing
swimming SPORT
arnis sepaktakraw
On the other hand, if you are task to interpret, discuss, explain a particular piece of writing
then this will help you stick to your topic.
Do you still remember your KISS? It means that you should make your sentences
K- eep
I-t
S-hort; and
S-imple
Some students think that the more ideas or sentences they write for an essay when they are
required by teachers, the higher their grades will be. This is not true. A long essay does not
mean your ideas become clearer. Sometimes, the longer the writing is, the more confused the
reader become. Study the examples below:
Wordy: At this point in time, I cannot seem to understand the reason why they did not
attend the meeting.
Brief/ Concise: At this point, I cannot understand the reason why they did not attend the
meeting.
Read what you have written and check where you can omit, add, or clarify your ideas to
make it easier to understand.
Using jargon (a language used by a particular group of people) that is not understood by
other readers will just lead to the misinterpretation or misunderstanding of what you have
written. If you cannot avoid using jargon, make sure you define it for the readers. Using
everyday words will surely help.

A. ordered B. for C. a D. tea
5. “The priest joined the bride and groom together in holy wedlock.” Which is the incorrect
part of the sentence?
A. the bride and groom C. joined… together
B. holy wedlock D. the

In this module, you have learned other types of sources, which are the
primary and secondary sources. These sources are very important in the
clarification of information for they give you additional information that is
beneficial to your studies. In addition, you have come to know that in
researching, you need to know how to simplify ideas for a clearer and understanding of your
thought to your readers. Lastly, asking questions while reading a particular topic is a skill that
leads to the understanding of the topic.
