I. LEARNING SKILLS
A. Most Essential Learning Competency
Judge the relevance and worth of ideas, soundness of author’s reasoning, and the
effectiveness of the presentation.
B. Objectives
Identify relevant and irrelevant ideas.
Rewrite paragraph applying the general mechanics in revision and logical
arrangement of ideas.
II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
You, as a reader or a listener, learned from the ideas of a literary piece. Thus, you have
treated this valuable because it is relevant to you. Yet, you should first judge how solid the
ideas and how sound the judgment of the author is.
A good paragraph must contain sentences that are related to the main topic of the
paragraph. The sentences that are to be included must support the topic sentence of the
paragraph. Hence, the topic sentence sets up the main idea while the rest of the sentences
provide details that support or explain the main idea. If you see or read a sentence that does
not seem to be related to the topic sentence, it is probably an irrelevant idea.
This module will help you identify the relevant and irrelevant ideas and determine
the errors in the paragraph. Are you ready to learn? You should be. Have fun!
III. ACTIVITIES
A. Practice Tasks 1
TASK 1
Read and analyze the paragraph. On a separate sheet, identify the sentence that is
irrelevant to the given topic.
1. The longest-lived creature in the insect world is the queen termite (ant). She has been
known to live for over 50 years. During that time, the queen can lay over 30,000 eggs
each day. So, in her 50 years of life, it is possible for her to give birth to half a billion
children. Some termite hills can be over six meters high.
2. For many years, all books were written by hand. Since it took so long to write one book,
there were only a few of them. Most people could never own a book. Then sometime
between 1450 and 1460, Johannes Gutenberg got the idea of carving separate letters
and moving them to make new words. Gutenberg died at the age of 68. This was the
invention of moveable type. From then on, the numbers of books printed grew quickly.
3. The solar system is believed to have formed, perhaps 5 billion years ago, from a
spinning cloud of gas called a nebula. As this nebula contracted it began to spin faster
and faster. Probably it spun off rings of planetary matter as it became more disk-like.
These rings later contracted into planets. Earth is the third planet from the Sun.
4. Some people do not know that the whale is a mammal just like a human.
Humpback whales will sometimes leap clear up out of the water, an act known as
breaching. A humpback whale can weigh thirty tons and measure 15 meters in length.
So, it takes an enormous amount of energy for a whale to breach.
5. The largest organ in the human body is the skin. One of the skin's functions is to help
regulate the amount of body heat that flows in and out of the body. Heavy smoking ages
skin very quickly. When it is cold, we cover the skin with extra layers of clothing to
slow down the outward flow of heat. When it is hot, evaporation of sweat cools us
down.
TASK 2
Read and analyze the paragraphs below. Applying the general mechanics in
revision and logical arrangement of ideas, find the words or phrases that make
the paragraph incorrect, then rewrite them to have an effective composition.
Use a separate sheet of paper for your answers.
1. The Daragang Magayon Festival was a month-long annual festival celebrating Mt.

TASK 3

paragraph applying the pointers in logical arrangement of ideas.
