DESCRIPTION
- SENSORY
- LOOK
- REALISTIC
- DETAIL
- QUALITY
II. Description
- the pattern of development which goes into details about a specific object, person, or location,
in order to set its appearance
Characteristics of Description
has a clear focus and sense of purpose
uses sensory s and precise words
presents details in a logical order
Varieties of Description
1. Objective Description
o looks into factual and scientific characteristics of what is being described as objectively
as possible
o writer stays away from emotional impressions or responses and instead, describes the
scene as it is.
Example
The Acer barbatum is a small medium-sized, deciduous tree usually ranging 15 to 25 m. (50 to
80 ft.) tall when mature. Its bark is light gray and smooth on younger trees. and it becomes
ridged and furrowed with age. Leaves are opposite and shallowly deeply palmately lobed, with a
few blunt teeth but no serrations. The leaf sinuses are rounded, unlike those red maple (Acer
ruburn) which are sharply V-shaped. Also, the sides of terminal leaf lobes are more or less
parallel, while those of red maple are widest at the base, tapering to the tip.
2. Subjective Description
o a sort of description that the author normally uses to "paint a picture" of how' he sees a
character, or how he wants the reader to see a character
o also used in a literary discourse when there is stereotyped in-mage that can be
attributed to a person, place, or an event.
It uses a of:
Facts
Event
Statistics
People
Samples
Quotations
Anecdotes (brief stories)
Other kinds of specific items to make a general statement understandable, more clear, and/or
more convincing.
Writers use exemplification to create interest. clarify ideas or convince.
Types of Examples
Examples that illustrate - use concrete examples to illustrate an idea.
Examples that explain - give an explanation to illustrate a concept.
Examples that tell a story - use a short story to illustrate a point.
Examples that describe – use examples to make help the reader visualize a scene or a thing.
Length of Examples
Essays often combine both brief and extended examples.
Brief. These examples appear rather frequently within the essay, and they usually function as
concrete examples of straightforward ideas.
Extended. These examples contain more detail. Such detail is needed because extended
examples function as concrete illustrations of ideas that are too complex to be made clear by a
brief example.
1. Decide on a topic. Basically, what generalization do you want to exemplify?
2. Determine a purpose. What angle of the generalization do you want to present to the reader?
Having a clear purpose will help you choose examples and write your thesis.
3. Think about your audience. How do you think members of the audience feel about the
generalization that you are discussing?
CLASSIFICATION WRITING
Definition
Classification Writing - writing that breaks a large subject into smaller groups (called categories)
Categories - help writers and readers understand the larger subject
Important Features
Categories should
belong together, but should not overlap
be on the same level—they should match.
Three-four categories per paragraph
Each category is distinguished clearly from the others—the writer explains -
what is unique about each
Important Features
Emphatic order— a method of organization that places ideas in their order of importance
a. Least important
b. Second important
c. Most important
Use these transitions to add information to your classification:
Also
And
Besides
First (second, third)
Furthermore
In addition
Like-wise
Moreover
Too
Examples
Biological taxonomy—grouping plants and animals into species, genus, and family to
understand them
Book/movie genres—grouping books/movies according to content
Signal Words
compare
(similarities)
also, too similar, similarly alike both, in the same way
contrast
(differences)
differ, but however, in contrast different, on the other hand
2. The simple sneeze is actually a complex reaction. The impulse to sneeze comes from irritation of
a group of nerves in back of the eyes. When the signals reach the brain, the body takes a quick
breath, then muscles contract violently. Finally, the sound “achoo” comes out.
A. Nerves are irritated
B. The brain is signaled
C. Eyes are irritated
D. Muscles contract violently
3. Carlos Palomino was a champion boxer. Yet he gave up boxing and earned a degree ion
recreation. He chose this field because he wanted to work with kids. Not everyone can become
a paid athlete, he says. That’s why school is so important for all young people. Carlos hopes his
example will help others set high goals in education as well in sports.
4. Why did Carlos get the degree in recreation?
A. He had earned many honors’
B. He wanted to work with kids.
C. Not everyone can become a paid athlete
D. He was an ideal boxer
A paragraph is a group of sentences. A good paragraph has the following: (1) a single main idea, (2)
topic sentence, and (3) supporting details that further explain or elaborate the main idea.
STRUCTURE OF A TEXT
Introduction
Body
Conclusion
WHAT IS ORGANIZATION?
It is also known as arrangement and is achieved when ideas are logically and accurately
arranged with focus on the arrangement of ideas, incidents, evidence, or details in a definite order in a
paragraph, essay, or speech.
A. PHYSICAL FORM
o It is seen in how the text physically appears like headings and subheadings, bullet points
or font emphasis.
o Marxist ideology has three main theories. Historical materialism purports that all the
features of society can historically be traced back to economic activity. Social class in
capitalist societies is what produces unjust structures of power that exist today.
Socialism would be the next rational step for the development of human society.
B. SIGNAL WORDS
o These are textual cues that readers can use to follow a text. They can "signal" the
transition from one point to another, the ordering of events and concepts, or the
writer's chosen text type.
Chuck Palahniuk's novel Fight Club greatly influenced me as a fictional writer. First. his
use of the unreliable narrator fascinated me, and I have written similar characters in my
works. Second, the theme of patriarchal oppression can also be found in the stories I write.
Third. the novel's stunning twist is something that I have been trying to recreate. Thus, I am
extremely grateful to have encountered Palahniuk's genius early in my writing career.
C. STRUCTURE
The structure provides the framework upon which the text is organized. It consists of the
following:
o Beginning: introduction, thesis statement, hook
o Middle: supporting details
o End: conclusion, summary, final message.
Ancient philosophies believe that a person has an "aura," this appears as a rainbow• of light
around the body that can be seen by individuals with clairvoyant abilities. The colors change depending
on one's mood. health. and thoughts. Some scientists believe that the existence of the aura has
something to do with the electromagnetic fields produced by cells and tissues in the human body. auras
are real or not, the fact remains that there are forces everywhere that are real even though we cannot
see them.

WHAT IS COHESION?
Cohesion refers to the unity of ideas in a paragraph. Every detail in a paragraph should
support the main idea. Cohesion is the connection of ideas in the sentence level. Did it use
pronouns properly? Did it use transitions? Did it do repetition of subject matter?
1. ORGANIZATION
Strong organization constitutes proper paragraphing and logical order of presentation of ideas.
Ostrom (1978) averred that it is a way of making visible to the reader the stages in writer's
thinking.
Paragraphing is dividing a text into paragraphs.
The unity and coherence of ideas among
sentences is what makes the paragraph.
It is essentially a unit of thought not of length.
Coherence
A paragraph is coherent when all the sentences are related to one main idea. Each sentence
follows logically to the next.
It the quality of being logical, consistent and able to be understood.
Original Paragraph
People made different sorts of clothing in colonial America. There was also a variety of furniture.
Women planted flax, harvested the crop, and woven the flax into linen. Women also wore woolen cloth
from sheep. They colored the fabrics with dyes made from barks, berries, roots, or walnut h The
colonies often made shoes or leggings from leather made from deerskin or cows.
Revised Paragraph
Making clothing was a normal and necessary process in colonial households, For instance, women
planted flax, harvested the crop, and woven it into linen cloth, They also wove woolen cloth from yarn
spun the fleece of sheep. For the coloring of fabrics, they used dyes made from barks, berries, roots, or
walnut hulls. Colonial men tanned cow hide and deerskin for leather for shoes and leggings,

LANGUAGE USE
The Importance of Language
- Language isn't just thinking what you say, it is also important to know how to say
it. To communicate effectively, it is not enough to have well organized ideas expressed in complete
sentences. We must also think what the style, tone, and clarity of his/her writing is.
Language Use
Concise, not Verbose
To have an effective language use, we must express our own words as few words
as possible. Concise means expressing something that is directed to the point of
what the speaker would want to tell.
.
Consider me Following Example Below
(1) It is widely discussed by employees that many of them will be of the be forced to change jobs and
take on new responsibilities when merger takes place between the two companies.
Consider example two above. The phrase “…should be sure to carefully think about, ponder and reflect
on...” contains three ways of saying the same thing. This
Sentence could be improved by using only one of the key phrases: -...to reflect on…”
Language Use
Familiar, not Obscure
It is one of the properties of a well- written text and is characterized as a set of conventions on how to
spell, abbreviate, punctuate and capitalize a composition
Mechanics conventions for writing include rules for grammar, usage, punctuation, spelling, and even
word order.
We have studied about some formal and informal writing in our previous lesson.

Claims of Fact
CLAIM
- a single statement.
- the topic of an argument.
- not a question
- phrased against the status quo.
- The centra argument or thesis statement of the text. It is what the writer tries to prove in the
text by providing details, explanations, and other types of evidence.
Claims is a statement is not considered accepted by all. A claim may be unverified or controversial to
certain degree. It is usually related to one side of an issue.
Claims the main idea or the thesis which attempts to present or defend an issue.
Claims of fact are often qualified by such terms as generally, probably, or as a rule. Define terms that
may be controversial or ambiguous.
Claims of fact rely on upon reliable authorities or they are worthless. Especially in the age of the
Internet, teachers must explain that a sources reliability is often ambiguous and debatable.
Claim
it is your opinion or stand on an issue.
It must be debatable!
Claims have differing reactions on it
(positive or negative feedback).
In Argumentative Text…
Claim is the last sentence of the introduction.
It is the POSITION of the writer or speaker in relation to the topic.
The claim is either an agreement or disagreement to the issue.
Claim of Fact
is a statement of øometm.ng that has existed (past). exist (present) or exist (future)
Examples:
1. The oldest known disease in the world is leprosy
2. The death penalty does not deter crime.
CLAIM OF FACT
A claim of fact makes an assertion about something that can be proved or disproved with factual
evidence. However, keep in mind the basic quality of claims, that they have to be debatable, and offer
an assertion about an issue. So a claim of fact for a logical argument cannot simply consist of a statistic
or proven fact. It needs, instead, to focus on an assertion which uses facts to back it up, but for which
the evidence might still be debatable.
Example:
Decreasing carbon dioxide emissions from car exhaust, manufacturing processes, fertilizers, and
landfills, while slowing deforestation, may help slow the process of global warming.
CLAIM OF VALUE
A claim of value argues that something is good or bad, or that one thing is better than another thing.
Examples:
It's better to apply good nutritional choices at home than teach them at school, because good
nutrition then becomes ingrained in the child's experience.
Although immunotherapy has produced some good results in fighting cancer, overall it is less
effective than chemotherapy.
CLAIM OF POLICY
A claim of policy argues that certain conditions should exist, or that something should or should not be
done, in order to solve a problem.
Example:
Just as smoking ads have been banned in order to decrease the urge to engage in an unhealthy
behavior, soda ads should be banned for the same reason.
Claim of Policy is an argument which asse the implementation of a certain policy. This is driven by the
need to present a solution to problems that have arisen, sometimes it is given as a response to claims of
policy also incorporates judgment coupled with supporting information.
Claims of Policy advocate adoption of policies or courses of action because problems have
arisen that call for solutions.
When you are defending a claim of policy, if necessary, establish that there is a need for
change.
Almost always "should" or "ought to lor "must" are included in the claim.
When you are defending a claim of policy, devote the major part of your research paper to
prove your proposal in an answer to the opposing arguments.

Euthanasia, which is also known mercy killing, is an act to end a person's life to alleviate the
suffering brought about by a terminal or grave illness. While it may be supported by some, euthanasia is
not only an unethical medical practice, it is also a crime. After all, on the most basic level, this practice
takes a life. In fact, majority of the countries in the world consider it as homicide. Aside from being s
crime, euthanasia is unethical in the medical context because it violates the one of the tenets of the
Physician's Oath, namely that of "primum noncore" which means "first, do no harm." In the Declaration
of Geneva, doctors have the responsibility of saving lives, not destroying them. In essence, euthanasia is
a violation of life, and it can never be acceptable procedure. Euthanasia, which is also known mercy

Hypertext Reading and Writing
Objectives:
Discuss the importance of hypertext reading and writing Differentiate the functions and characteristics
of hypertext and hyperlink
A hypertext is when you type a word and attach a link to that word so that upon clicking on that
word, the reader is sent to the site attached. A hypertext looks like this: Google
A hyperlink is when you type the link of the website you would like to quickly send reader. A
hyperlink looks like this: www. google. com or "Facebook" that links to the facebook page.
Hypertext is the foundation of the World Wide Web, enabling users to click on a link to obtain
more information on a subsequent page on the same site or from a website anywhere in the world.
The term was coined by Ted Nelson in 193, but his vision was more expensive than the one way-
links of today's web.

WHAT IS A HYPERLINK/ HYPERTEXT?
Intertext Writing
Objectives:
Identify the context in which a text was developed
Understand the concept of intertextuality
Make a connection between a text and t context in which the text is developed
Intertext Writing
Intertextuality is the idea the creation of a text is influenced by other texts.
It is a textual reference within a text that uses the text used reference. Instead of employing
referential phrases from different literary works, intertextuality draws upon concept, rhetoric or
ideology from the texts to be included in the new text. It may be the retelling or writing of an old story in
modern context.
Several Ways Intertextuality Occurs:
o Retelling is when an author restates what other texts contain. It could be in the form of a
retelling of a narrative or a re-expression o idea or concept.
In the Bible, for example, several passages in the New Testament retell stories found in the Old
Testament such as in Acts 13:17, shown here from the New Living Translation.
"The God of this nation of Israel chose our ancestors and made them multiply and grow strong
during their stay in Egypt. Then with powerful arm he led them our of their slavery. He put up
with them through forty years of wandering in the wilderness. Then he destroyed seven nations
in Canaan and gave their land to Israel as an inheritance. All this took about 450 years. "After
that, God gave them judges to rule until the time of Samuel the prophet. Then the people
begged for a king, and God gave them Saul son, of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who
regained for forty years. But God removed Saul replaced him with David, a man whom God said,
I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to
do.
William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", which is a retelling of "Pyramus and Thisbe", a Greek
tragedy.
Allusion is when an directly or indirectly refers to an idea or passage in another text without actually
quoting the text. Allusion is very common example of intertextuality. It is found in both written and
spoken language.
It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all? My answer is an absolute yes.
An allusion to Lord Alfred Lord Tennyson's famous quote "Tis better to have loved and lost than
not to have loved at all" by author Kristen Mark in The Huffington Post.
"An eye for an eye" make the whole blind.
A common text from the anti-death penalty movement alluding to the Mosaic law of retribution.
Quotation
Another very interlinearity is quotation. In this kind of relationship, the author directly lifts a
stirring of words from another text.
As Nelson Mandera says, Educating is the most powerful weapon which you can cause to change
the world.
Education is the key to eliminating gender inequality, to reducing poverty, to creating a
sustainable planet, preventing needless deaths and illness, and to fostering peace. And in
knowledge economy, education is the new currency by which nations maintain economic
competitiveness and global prosperity.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan quoting' Nelson Mandela in an article for USAID
(blog.usaid.gov.)
Pastiche is a text written in a way that it imitates the style of other properties of an other text,
without mocking the text, as a parody. Sometimes, a text becomes very significant that its style
or other characteristics is copied by other works. The Ten commandments, for example, is very
significant such that the other ten commandments have been written such as, " The Ten
Commandments of Marriage." Another work which has generated many pastiches is the 12th
century
"Magna Carta" or Great Charter England. It guarantee rights the safety and of even ordinary
people.
It can be argued that constitution such as the US are pastiches of this great work. In modern time,
pastiches of the Magna Carta include "The Magna Carta of Women." Still another work that has
produced many pastiches is the US Constitution, particularly its section called, "The Bill of Rights."
Intertextuality
what do you think (the term 'intertextuality' means?
Topic: Intertextuality
Inter- is a prefix which means "between", "among", "in the midst of”, “together", and "during".
It is from the Latin word INTERTEXTO which means to intermingle while weaving.
Textuality refers to all of the attributes that distinguish the communicative content under analysis as an
object of study
Intertextuality is the shaping of a text's meaning by another text.
Intertextuality is the interconnection between similar or related works of literature that reflect and
influence an audience's interpretation of the texts
Kristeva developed the term "intertextuality"
Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotics
Mikhail Bakhtin’s dialogism
in each word (heteroglossia)
all works of literature being produced contemporarily are intertextual with the works that came before
it.
"Any text is constructed of a mosaic of quotations; any text is the absorption and transformation of
another."
- Kristeva

"No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the
appreciation of his relation, to the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set
him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead. I mean this as a principle of aesthetic, not merely
historical; criticism."
(T.S. Eliot, The sacred wood, I '920)

Logical fallacies
Logical fallacies are flawed, deceptive, or false arguments that can be proven wrong with
reasoning. A formal fallacy is an argument with a premise and conclusion that doesn't hold up to
scrutiny. An informal fallacy is an error in the form, content, or context of the argument.
A false dilemma, also referred to as false dichotomy, is an informal fallacy based on a premise
that erroneously limits what options are available. …This premise has the form of a disjunctive claim: it
asserts that one among a number of alternatives must be true.
If we see the other side of the coin, Lisa too must be thinking on similar lines, something like
'either do or die'. No individual would ever choose to suffer, he would always prefer to be happy. Both
would eventually divorce due to the either-or fallacy.
The appeal to ignorance is a fallacy based on the assumption that a statement must be true if
it cannot be proven false — or false if it cannot be proven true. Also known as argumentum ad
ignorantiam and the argument from ignorance.
This fallacy occurs when you argue that your conclusion must be true, because there is no
evidence against it. This fallacy wrongly shifts the burden of proof away from the one making the claim.
Examples: Him: "C'mon, hook up with me tonight." Her: "Why should l?" Him: "Why shouldn't you?"
A slippery slope fallacy occurs when someone makes a claim about a series of events that
would lead to one major event, usually a bad event. In this fallacy, a person makes a claim that one
event leads to another event and so on until we come to some awful conclusion.

A complex question is a fallacy in which the answer to a given question presupposes a prior
answer to a prior question. Also known as (or closely related to) a loaded question, a trick question, a
leading question, the fallacy of the false question, and the fallacy of many questions.
