Lesson
Informative Writing Techniques

Writing, as a skill, is a journey. It entails a series of steps that

must be taken in order to form a well-written composition. These series of

steps are done one-by-one, first things first. As a writer, you must ponder on

these questions: Where do I start? What do I do next? Am I on the right

track? When do I know when I’m done?

Buckle up! The road to discovery is ready to be taken. The answers

to your questions are along the way.

What’s In

Activity 2. Read and Comprehend

Directions: Read the text carefully and answer the questions that follow.

CORONAVIRUS: 2019 Pandemic

The year 2020, referred

by Chinese as the Year of the Rat, has

brought about lots of dilemma to us

Filipinos, and throughout the world.

There have been earthquakes, wildfires,

volcanic eruptions, typhoons, and many

more. These phenomena have kept people

from staying at home to be safe, which

people have associated with the kind of life rats truly experience. The hiding

has worsened brought about by the Corona Virus. COVID- 19 has wreaked

havoc in almost every aspect of our lives, but it also realigned our priorities

in life. When is this hiding got to end? What is this virus? How did it start

and how can this virus be prevented?

The Coronavirus, widely known as COVID-19, was first recorded in

Wuhan, China on December 31, 2019, where an unusual case of pneumonia

was alerted. It was thought to originate in a seafood market, where illegal

selling of wildlife was rampant. According to Aljazeera News, on February 7,

Chinese researchers said the virus could have spread through the

pangolins, which were said to be illegally trafficked for food and medicine in

Asia. Whereas, the scientists have pointed bats or snakes as possible

sources. The virus has transmitted rapidly not only in China but also

6
throughout the globe. As of June 26, 2020, 489,000 global death tolls, out of

more than 9.6 million cases, was recorded. According to the data collected

by the Johns Hopkins University in the United States, recovery has reached

over 4.8 million. The virus outbreak has affected nations all throughout the

world. Thus, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19, a

pandemic.

Since then, lockdowns have been implemented in and out of the

country to avoid virus transmission. Persons under investigation or PUIs are

asked to do 14-day quarantine at home while those with symptoms called

persons under management or PUMs must stay at the hospital for

treatment. People infected by the virus usually suffer from fever, coughing,

and breathing difficulty. Severe cases include pneumonia, multiple organ

failure, and worst, death. However, there are also asymptomatic patients,

who do not show symptoms despite them carrying the virus within their

systems. Thus, precautions must be religiously taken into action.

It is, indeed, true that prevention is better than cure. That is why

WHO has continuously reminded people to practice certain precautions.

These include basic hygiene such as regular hand washing with the use of

water and soap, covering mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, use of

alcohol or hand sanitizer whenever needed, and taking a bath upon going

home from outside. Social distancing is also advised by authorities,

maintaining at least 1.8 meters between one person to another. WHO also

has recommended avoiding unnecessary and unprotected contact with

animals, and if it cannot be avoided, proper handwashing should be done

7
after contact. The pandemic has also caused the “New Normal”, which has

brought about the things we are never used to, such as wearing protective

masks and other protective equipment, the avoidance of physical contact

like kissing, and hugging, and others.

The pandemic may have caused us to seem to hide for months,

yet, it also has given us the chance to spend more time with our loved ones.

Indeed, the virus scared us due to millions of deaths it caused, however, this

reminded us to keep the faith and pray more. We may not bring back the

lives that had been lost, but surely, there are things we can do to save lives

by doing what is right. It has started, continued, and, it will all end. And as

it ends, we will live not just by the “New Normal”, we’ll become all NEW, and

perfectly NORMAL.

Comprehension Questions:

a. What is the main idea of the text?

b. What is COVID-19? How does it affect the lives of every

Filipino?

c. When and where did it start?

d. How will you help in solving the rapid spread of the virus?

e. If you are in the situation of those who are infected by the

virus, what would you feel? Would you feel hopeless? Brave? Or

Positive?

 What’s New

Now that you’re through with the previous step, you are now ready

for another destination. Here, you are going to make use of your answers in

the previous activity. Let’s go and learn more as you explore and discover

more!

Study the information lifted from the text.

WHAT: Coronavirus, widely known as COVID-19

WHERE: Wuhan, China on December 31, 2019
HOW(Prevention): regular hand washing
covering mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing
Social distancing
Statistical Data: 9.6 million cases
489,000 global deaths
4.8 million recovery

Inside the box are bits of information taken from the text. The data

above are factual and informational. What type of text provides information

about a specific topic to its readers like that of the example above?

The text that you have just read is a type of informative text. Those

pieces of information are your important fuel as an informative writer. Here

is the definition of informative text:

9
 An Informative text is a non-fiction writing that provides

information, description, and definition of a certain topic or idea. Its purpose

is to inform, describe, or define an idea or topic with the use of information.

Thus, this type of writing seeks words that are mostly factual in nature. It

contains the 5W’s (What, Where, When, Who, and Why) and 1H (How) of the

topic. It aims to address the questions a reader has in mind. They are

mostly found in encyclopedias, newspapers, magazines, and textbooks.

An informative text, just like an argumentative text, consists of

three parts:

1. Introduction. The part of the text where the topic is being

introduced. It is where the thesis statement is explicitly stated.

Your thesis statement should state the main idea of your paper.

The introduction of the topic may be done in several ways: present

a definition, pose a question, tell an anecdote, cite a quotation, etc.

Remember: It is the first part of your paper, the decision of

whether the reader will continue reading relies on this part. Make

it catchy, that a reader will be interested to continue reading your

paper.

(In the text above, the introductory part poses a question to hook

the reader’s interest.)

2. Body paragraph. The part of the text where the topic is broadened.

Here, more information about the topic is highly expected. It is the

10
 part where the reader is thoroughly informed on the given topic.

Thus, the answers to the 5W’s and 1H can be found in this part.

(In our text sample, the second to fourth paragraph composes the

body paragraph.)

In this part, you can use statistics, survey results, or other

information that may be useful to your topic. In the development of

your paragraph, you can also use chronological order (events),

comparison and contract (two topics), analogy, etc.

Remember: Unlike in argumentative texts, you do not need to use

words of conviction. Your purpose is merely to inform the readers

about the topic, and that’s it.

3. Conclusion. The closing part of the text is the concluding

paragraph. The concluding part is where you bring your paper to a

satisfying finish. You may end your composition by giving the

readers the wrap-up or the summary of the main points. You may

also restate or emphasize the thesis statement. Ending your paper

through a question or quotes may also be useful.

(The fifth or the last paragraph is the concluding part of our text

sample. In the sample text, the conclusion emphasized the thesis

statement in the introduction.)

After equipping yourself with the things that you need to know

about the parts and the tips on how to write them, let us also

tackle the things you need to know about the techniques along

with the writing process itself.

11
 The Writing Process

The Writing Process entails three phases:

1. The Pre- Writing (Before);

2. While Writing (During); and

3. The Post-Writing Phase (After).

Come, let us know more about the three.

1. The Pre-Writing phase includes the things you need to do “before” the

writing itself. It is the phase where you are going to:

a. Determine the topic. Before you start writing, there is a need for

you to have a clear set of mind of what your topic should be. (What

information do you want to share with your readers? Is it helpful?

Is it suitable for your target readers? (In our sample text, the topic

is about the COVID-19.)

b. Narrow your topic. After determining your topic, it is now time for

you to sort the things, about your topic, that you want to discuss

on your paper. You would not like your paper to have a very wide

or general topic. Be specific on your paper, that it will not be too

lengthy, but helpful to your readers. Again, narrowing your topic is

important. You also must consider your readers’ interests and

preferences. Another consideration is the available data resources.

Since this is an informative text, you have to make sure that you

have a data bank, where you are going to get your factual

12
 information. (In the sample text, it tackled the origin, effects, and

safety precautions for COVID-19.)

c. Make an outline. Now that you know what you want to discuss in

your paper, it is time to make your outline, or the map, that will

serve as your guide in writing. This is a sample outline:

First Paragraph: Introduction

A. Introduce the topic____________________________________________

B. Thesis statement______________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________

Second Paragraph: Body

A. Topic Sentence________________________________________________

B. Supporting Details) 1._________________________________________

2._____________________________________________

3._____________________________________________

Last Paragraph: Conclusion

Summary of the paper or restatement of the thesis statement_____

__________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

You may add or lessen the body paragraph depending on your preference.

d. Gather data. The last step in this phase is the data gathering.

Remember that your purpose is to inform, with that, you should

inform your readers with facts, and only facts. Gather as much

information as you need about your topic for your informative text.

2. The Writing phase is where you are going to start writing your draft.

Make use of your map, which is your outline, and the information that

you have gathered. Remember that this is just a draft, you do not

need to mind your grammar. Doing so will prevent you from stating

what you want to say. There is still another phase to deal with those

grammar errors and other revisions.

Tips: Just write and write and write. Let the flow of words pass for

you to convey what you want to.

3. The Post- Writing is the phase where you can edit and revise your

draft. To edit is to correct errors committed in the draft, such as

14
 grammar, punctuation, and other technicalities. Whereas, to revise is

to change the edited draft into an improved version. It is also the stage

where you can finalize your title.

You have now surpassed the writing process. You’re almost ready to go.

Lastly, here are some tips to help improve your paper:

⮚ The title should be catchy. The title is the first to be read in your

paper, make it your hook to stir your readers’ interest. Remember not

to use a whole sentence as a title.

⮚ Be factual. Informing others with fake news is punishable by law and

is foul in informative text writing. To let your readers know that your

information is factual, cite your sources. It is also a way of giving

credit to one’s intellectual property.

⮚ Be a reader. Reading is a prerequisite of writing. You have to read to

gain more knowledge in the structure of writing. You must read to

gather information that will suffice your purpose of informing.

Improved reading skills pave the way to become a better writer.

⮚ Be objective. Avoid biases by focusing on your purpose—to inform.

This is informative writing; you do not need to favor one side over the

other.

⮚ Write to express, not to impress. Informative text writing calls for a

truthful and factual expression. Impressing others is not a

consideration in this type of writing.

What Is It

15
Activity 3. Before You Go…

You have, again, finished another station. You are now ready to

start writing. Remember those tips, as you go through your own informative

paper.

Let us now try to make use of what you have just learned. This is now

your pre-writing stage. This activity will be asking you to prepare the things

that you need before you start writing. Just complete the table with the

information being asked. You can choose a topic of your choice.

Topic Topic:

As a reader, what would you like to

read about? Remember that a topic

should be timely, interesting, and

useful to readers.)
Sub-topics Sub-topics:

(What are the things that you want to 1.

discuss on your paper? What are the

2.
most important things about that topic,
3.
that you think are worth reading?

Data (5W’s and 1H) What?

(You may try to read a newspaper, Who?

magazine, book, or search the web to

When?
gather the information that you need to

16
supply your paper with facts.) Where?

Why?

How?
Title Title:

(Make use of the tips that you have

learned in giving your paper a title.

Remember that this is just the pre-

writing, you can still revise the title as

you go through with your paper.)

What’s More

Activity 4. Off you go…

Since you are now prepared with the things you need to start

writing, it is now time to write your draft. Use what you have learned in the

parts of an informative text as you write your draft. Remember to just write

and write.
