The first illustration is an example of an outline. Have you ever wondered what an outline is? Look closely at the example,
can you tell how many main ideas are stated in the outline? If you are to write this in a composition format, how many
paragraphs will you have?
Now, look at the second illustration. That is an example of graphic organizer. Can you tell how many main ideas are given
in the graphic organizer? Do you think this will help you in organizing and planning the ideas in writing your composition?

Writing a composition becomes an easy and enjoyable task or activity if it is planned accordingly. By using outlines and
graphic organizers, young writers like you can organize thoughts and ideas, and eventually guide you in the drafting stage of
the writing process. At the end of our lesson today, you are expected to plan a composition using outlines and graphic
organizers.

This lesson will surely help you develop your skills in planning a composition using these two important “idea or topic
organizers” – outlines and graphic organizers.

D. Development (Time Frame: 5 minutes)

Writing a composition is not as hard or as challenging as you might think. In fact, it is an easy and an enjoyable activity. You
can choose topics that you want to write about.

The writing process enables you to think for topic, plan for writing the topic, daft your written ideas, revise or refine the clarity
and coherence of your written ideas, edit and proofread for grammar and punctuation mistakes, and publish and present your
finished written task. Remember the stages: prewriting, drafting, revising, editing and proofreading, and publishing and
presenting.

In doing so, you need to plan your composition carefully using outlines and graphic organizers as part of prewriting and
drafting stages of writing process. These two are very helpful in organizing your thoughts and ideas.

Outlines help you to state or write the important ideas in the paragraphs of your compositions. It can also be used as a
guide in organizing the ideas in every paragraph that you are going to write. You can use topic outline or sentence outline.

Graphic organizers can help you visualize the ideas you want to write about. They also help you to understand clearly the
topic and the information or details related to it.
E. Engagement (Time Frame: 20 minutes)
