 What I Need to Know

This module is designed and written to help you read various literary texts like
narrative texts with comprehension and be able to summarize it according to its
different elements.
After this module, it is expected that you will learn to:
1. summarize various text types based on elements
a. identify the elements of literary texts (EN5LC-Ib-d-2.17.1-3);
b. summarize narrative texts based on elements: theme, setting, characters, plot
(EN5RC-Ic-d-2.23);
c. recognize the steps in summarizing;
d. infer the theme of literary text (EN5RC-Ib-2.9.1); and
e. summarize information from various text types (EN5LC-IVf-j-3.13).

Lesson
Summarizing Various Text
2 Types Based on Elements
When not taught on how to properly summarize, summarizing can be difficult for
pupils. Writing a good summary is not as easy as it may appear among the pupils. It
actually requires quite a bit of judgment.

More than anything else, as a learner, you must read and comprehend the text. This
may involve unpacking long sentences and interpreting challenging vocabulary.
Then, you must identify the main ideas and key points, which means that you must
have a good enough understanding of the text to distinguish between essential and
nonessential information. Finally, you must summarize this information in your
own words. Therefore, summarizing a text requires both comprehension and
expression skills.

As we move on to the lesson, this module will present to you the different elements
of various text types and be able to summarize what you have read based on these
elements.

 What’s In

Carlo and Ella are cousins and also neighbors. They are Grade 5 pupils like you.
Carlo’s mother serves as their learning-
facilitator. Do you want to study with them?

Carlo and Ella’s lesson for this week is about

summarizing various text types based on
elements. With them, let us recall first what
are these text types? Read the paragraphs
and answer several questions with them.
Text types are forms of writing having a variety of purposes, using
different forms and standards of composition. Generally, text types are
categorized as; factual and literary. Within these are many more specifically
defined texts types.
Factual or nonfiction text types inform the readers or convey
information about a particular subject or topic. They give useful information
and focus on truths and realities. Examples of factual texts are news reports,
instruction manuals, records of history, procedure, recipes, information about
real-people or life situations, legal documents, and articles in academic journals.

Literary or fiction text types include such types as poetry, narrative, or

personal response. Its purpose is to entertain, elicit an emotional response or
engage the reader by using creative language and imagery by using language to
create mental images. Some good examples of literary texts include novels, short
stories, and poetry.

Now, let us find out if you understand what you have read. Identify the following
text types whether it is factual or literary.

1. Its main purpose is to entertain readers.

2. It teaches readers about facts and valid information.
3. It is usually a made-up story with characters who may be like real people or
imaginary.
4. It has facts that can be checked and proven.
5. Its stories are about real people and happenings like what’s on the news.

 Notes to the Teacher
This module is intended for the teacher to recognize the pupils’
reading, comprehending, and summarizing skills. Pupils must be
familiarized with the different elements of narrative texts in order
to have an organized flow of summary.

It is the teacher's duty to identify the learners’ strengths and

weaknesses about the lesson. Also, do interventions to cope up with
the pupils’ limitations or give advancement activities to improve
further his/her ability in summarizing.

What’s New

Read the passage. Then, in your paper, answer the questions that follow.

You have probably written a summary of a story you have read from the
previous grade. You may have identified the characters. You may have told
when and where is the setting. You probably told me what is the problem and
how it was solved. But did you know that it is not only the stories you can
summarize? You can use summarizing skills to be prepared and have a better
understanding of all your subjects.

Some pupils are having a hard time reading two to three pages of stories.
Some are having difficulty in learning science because there are lots of
unfamiliar new words and history because of information to remember.
Research shows that writing things down will help you to remember them
easier. It works even better if you read again what you have written. Wow!
That’s the process of taking notes.

Did you know that taking notes is a process of summarizing? When you
are studying Science or Araling Panlipunan, your teacher is usually asking
you to read long texts. But, when you are about to write the key points on
your notebook, you are not writing the entire texts you have read. When you
read your textbooks, keep a notebook or a paper close to you. As you read, jot
down the keywords, dates, names, and important details so that you can go
back and define or explain them later.

Downloaded by erminio De la cruz (erminiodelacruz1991@gmail.com)

 For you summarize, first, you must read the text carefully and find out
what’s more important. Then, identify the various elements, find the main
ideas, and supporting ideas. This implies that you are thinking and trying to
understand what you have read. Finally, you must write down those ideas
using your own understanding in a few sentences or a paragraph.
You may go back to the passage whenever necessary to find or confirm your answers.
1. Is summarizing done only with stories?
2. How can you use your summarizing skills?
3. Why some are having difficulty in learning science and history?
4. What does the research say about writing things down?
5. What is the process of summarizing mentioned in the passage?
6. As you read, what are you going to do so you can have something to go back
and define or explain later?
7. What are the steps for you to summarize?
8. What would be the best title for the passage?
a. Difficulties in Summarizing
b. Learning to Summarize Science and History
c. Summarizing; Its Importance and Processes
d. The Meaning of Summary
If you have answered all the question incomplete sentences, you may rewrite them
in paragraph form. Through that, you can now summarize a four-paragraph
passage into at least seven sentences in your own words. Try rewriting them on
your paper. Although the title is asked on the last number, be sure that the title
should be written on the upper center part of your summary. Follow the format
below.

What is It

There are lots of texts that can be summarized. Summarizing allows you to verify
that you understood accurately the information conveyed by the writer. There are
many different types of texts depending on their purpose, structure, and language
features. The narrative text is one of the most commonly used classification text
materials is that one based on the text’s purpose and meaning.
Now, that you can already differentiate factual from a literary text, let us give more
focus on the literary narrative texts, poems, and their elements.
A narrative text is a type of literary text that entertains, informs, or instructs
readers by telling a story.
Narrative texts can be either imaginary or real-life. Fictional narratives include
picture books, cartoons, mystery, fantasy, fairy tales, novels, science fiction,
historical fiction, horror or adventure stories, fables, myths, legends, or plays. Non-

are distinctions of this
simple structure.
Plot is particularly the part of the story being summarized as it contains the most
important details. This is the storyline. The term plot refers to the writer's creation
of a plot or devising and ordering the story events. Plot has several parts.
Climax

Exposition Resolution
Beginning Middle Ending
Let’s discuss briefly what is seen on each part.

Elements of Plot in Narratives

Exposition or This first part of the plot presents the main
Introduction characters/protagonists and the setting. Here, the reader is
getting to know the story and what it’s going to be all about.
Beginning

Conflict The main conflict or tension around which the plot revolves
is also usually introduced here in order to set up the sequence
of events for the rest of the narrative. This tension could be
the first meeting between two main characters, the start of a
mystery or arising of problem.
Rising Action This creates tension both within the story and the reader. It
sets the rest of the plot in motion. Excitement grows as
tensions gets higher, eventually leading to the climax of the
story. For example, the antagonist (enemy) planning to hurt

the protagonist (lead character).

Climax or It is the most critical moment wherein tensions are highest,
turning point instilling in the reader a sense of excitement, fear, and
nervousness and the likes. The character do something
about
the conflict of problem.
Falling Action This is when the story is going out of tension and the story
begins to wind down. We start to see the results of the
climax;
the main characters’ actions, how characters’ choices affect
themselves and those around them.
Resolution or This final plot point is the finale or closure where everything
Denouement is wrapped up and is usully short. Characters usually achieve
the sense of normalcy but resolution is not always a "happy
ending." Ending can be tragic and entirely unexpected, too.

 Are you enjoying reading different stories? I
hope you’re having fun like Carlo and Ella.
You know what? Their hobby is not only
reading, they also love writing poems during
their free time.
Poetry is also a form of literary text which
follows a meter and rhythm on each lines
and syllables. It is always rhythmical,
usually metaphorical, and often exhibits
such formal elements as meter, rhyme, and
written in stanza structure. It follows a set
of rules governing the number
and
arrangement of syllables in each line. In poetry, words are looped together to form
sounds, images, and ideas that might be too complex or abstract to describe directly.
Let us discuss briefly what are the elements of poetry or poem.

There is also what we call narrative poetry which tells stories through verse. A
narrative poem like a novel or a short story, has plot, characters, and setting. It
presents a series of events, often including action and dialogue using a range of
poetic techniques such as rhyme and meter.
To compare, a short story is usually written in recognizable sentences, while a
poem is composed of lines, which may not observe the usual grammatical rules.
Furthermore, stories are organized into paragraphs, while a poem is made up of
verses, or stanzas. But, both express emotion and convey a message to readers and
can be summarized based on their different elements.

What’s More

Activity 1:

Read the story carefully and pay attention to the details of the story. You could also
take down important notes while reading. In this way, you can easily identify the
elements of a literary text and be able to write your summary.

One Moment at Recess

by Grace S. Ponce
It was 10:00 in the morning at Mabuhay Elementary School. It’s time to
take a snack, it was recess time. Pupils are line up in waiting for their turns to
go inside the canteen. Out of the crowd, Joselito seems down at the bench just
looking around the kids eating and some are playing. He had no money to buy
something because his father did not receive his salary yet. His mother told him
to have a heavy breakfast for him to be full until lunch time.
While waiting for the time to pass by, he suddenly saw fifty pesos on the
ground. He said to himself, “If I spend this money, I will be able to have lots to
eat for recess.” But, he knows that it is not the right thing to do. So, he goes to
their classroom and asks for help from his adviser to find the owner of that
money. It so happens that one of his classmates Irene was crying at the corner
of their classroom because she lost her money. Joselito asks Irene how much
she lost? “It’s fifty pesos”, said Irene.
Joselito gives the fifty pesos that he saw to Irene and said, “I think it’s
yours.”
Irene was so thankful to Joselito. As a form of her appreciation, she told
Joselito to go to the canteen with her and they shared snacks for recess. Joselito
was grateful that because of his honesty, he was able to enjoy his recess time.
Identify the element of the literary text from the story you just read. Choose your
answer from the choices below.
