Activity 1- Filling In

Fill in the blanks with the appropriate words to complete your story.

One ________ as I walked down the ______ to pick the newly harvested
mangoes from the _______, something caught my attention. It was a _______
chirping so sharply on the _______ ground. It rained the previous night so its

What Is It

1. A setting tells the readers where and when the story takes place. It may describe the
following: time of the day, time of the year, time in history, scenery, weather and
location. Describing the setting entails the use of our senses- sight, smell, touch,
taste and hearing.

Example:

The long and winding road leads to the vast span of green field in the middle of which
is the array of sweet smelling roses that smile with the brilliance of the sun on this
warm summer day.

Where does the event happen?

What time of the year does it happen?

What words are used to describe the scenery?

1
 2. Characters are the “actors of a story”.

They could be: people, animals or creatures. Sometime they could be objects
or things acting like people.

Characters could be protagonist (“good guy”) or antagonist (“bad guy”)

Example: Cinderella wanted to join the party like her step sisters, but her wicked step
mom objected.

Whose character is the protagonist? Who is the antagonist?

3. Point of view is determined by the narrator or storyteller. He or she may be the

author or one of the characters in the story.

3.1 Types of Point of View:

- First Person: The main character is the storyteller.

It uses the pronouns I, we, me

- Second Person: The author tells the story directly to the reader.

It uses the pronouns you and your

- Third Person: The author narrates the story but is not part of it.

It uses the pronouns he, she, her, his, it and they

Example: (First Person) I keep on moving towards the direction of the light without
any fear.

(Second Person) You need to rest so that your energy will not be wasted.

(Third Person) She couldn’t deny his presence for she loved him so dearly.

Source: https://bit.ly/3g7HPUS

There are three distinct modes of third-person narration: objective, limited, and
omniscient.

> Third-Person Objective Narration:

In this mode of narration, the narrator tells a third-person’s story (he, she, him, her),
but the narrator only describes characters’ behavior and dialogue. The narrator does not
reveal any character’s thoughts or feelings. Again, readers will be able to understand
characters’ thoughts and motivations based on characters’ actions and dialogue, which are
narrated; however, the narrator will not explicitly reveal character’s thoughts
and/or motivations in narration. (https://bit.ly/3g7HPUS)

2
Example: It was noon. The sun was high in the blue sky. The air was filled with the sounds
of lawn mowers and birds chirping. A door opened. A young boy walked outside.
A woman's voice could be heard from the house yelling, "Wait for me, Michael."
The young boy did not wait. He ran to the sidewalk and began jumping. "Yeah!
Yeah! Machine gun!" he yelled, pointing an invisible gun in all directions. He took
imaginary shots every few seconds and pantomimed the recoil.

* Here, the narrator doesn’t reveal any character’s thoughts or feelings. Only actions
and dialogue are narrated.

> Third-Person Limited:

When a narrator uses third-person limited perspective, the narrator’s perspective

is limited to the internal workings of one character. In other words, the narrator reveals the
thoughts and feelings of one character through explicit narration. As with objective
narration, readers may be able to infer characters’ thoughts and feelings based on the
behaviors and dialogue of those characters, which are narrated, but the narrator also
directly reveals the central character’s internal perspective. (https://bit.ly/3g7HPUS)

Example: Sid saw the ball floating through the air. He knew it was coming to him. He
positioned himself where he thought it was going to land. Then a large cloud
moved in the sky. The sun blazed and Sid couldn't see anything. "Thump!" the
ball landed right in front of Sid. Coach yelled across the field, "Pick it up, Sid!
Throw it to second." Sid couldn't see the ball in front of him. All he could see were
spots. The coach threw his hat on the ground and continued to yell, "Pick it up,
Sid!"

* Here, the narrator reveals the inner thoughts and feelings of a single character (Sid).

> Third-Person Omniscient:

In this mode of narration, the narrator grants readers the most access to characters’
thoughts and feelings. With third-person omniscient narration, the narration will reveal
more than one characters’ internal workings. The base word omni means “all,”
and scient means “knowing,” so omniscient roughly translates to “all knowing.” In this case
the etymology is accurate, because in omniscient narration, the narrator is all knowing.
(https://bit.ly/3g7HPUS)

Example: Sam could not bear to be on the roof of the skyscraper any longer. He wasn't
used to be afraid of heights, but the wind was so strong and Ronald kept messing
with him. Ronald did not know that what he did would encourage Sam to keep
going. "Let's go look over the edge, Sam," suggested Ronald, knowing full well
that Sam would refuse.

* Here, the narrator reveals the thoughts and feelings of more than one character-Sam
and Ronald.

Reacting to Assertions Made

What’s New?

The selection which you are about to read is considered the oldest literary piece
believed to have been written 3000 years before Christ. Find out the similarities of Egyptians
and Filipinos in terms of culture, beliefs, respect and love for family and reverence to God as
depicted in this selection.

The Two Brothers

Egyptian Folktale
Once there were two brothers. Anpu was the elder, and Bata was the younger. When
their parents died, Anpu was already married and had a house of his own, so he took his
little brother with him and treated him like his son. When the little brother grew to be a young
man, he became an excellent worker. He did the plowing. He harvested the corn, and there
was no one his equal in the whole land. Behold, the spirit of the god was within him.
Every morning, the younger brother followed his oxen and worked all day in the
fields, and every evening, he returned to the house with vegetables, milk, and wood. He laid
all these before his elder brother, and he took with him his bread, and he drove the cattle
into the field.
Because Anpu loved his younger brother very much, his wife became very jealous
and she wanted to destroy Bata. One day, when Anpu and Bata were in the fields, they
needed some corn, so Anpu sent Bata home to get some. The younger brother found the
wife combing her hair and said to her, “Get up and give me some corn that I may run to the
field for my elder brother is in a hurry. Do not delay.”
At eventide, Anpu returned home earlier than his brother because Bata had much
work to do in the fields. Anpu was met by his wife, who was crying bitterly. She showed him
her arms and legs which he had painted black and blue and accused Bata of having beaten
her up. She pretended to be in great pain. She did not give him water to wash his hands
with. She did not light the fire for him. She pretended that she was very sick.
Anpu became very angry. He sharpened his knife and waited for Bata in the stable.
When the sun went down, Bata came home as usual, loaded with herbs, milk and wood. As
he entered the door, he saw the feet of his brother and the sharp knife hanging by his side.
The brother sprang from him and Bata fled praying to the god Ra. “My good Lord! Save me
from death, thou who divines the evil from the good.” Ra heard his cry. He made a river flow
between one brother and the other and filled it with crocodiles.

7
 Bata asked his elder brother, “Why do you seek to kill me? Am I not your brother and
have you not always treated me as if you were my father? Has not your wife been as mother
to me? Now since you want to kill me, I shall go to the Valley of the Acacia.”
Anpu answered, “Why did you beat up my wife and almost kill her.”
Bata answered, “I did not do such thing. Have I told you that I have always looked upon her
as my mother?”
So, Anpu went home. He found his wife near the river washing off the black and blue
dye with which she had painted herself. Filled with great anger, Anpu killed his wife and cast
her to the dogs. Then, he sat down, poured ashes on his head and mourned for his younger
brother.
Bata reached the Valley of Acacia. Since there was no one with him, he slew wild
beasts for food, built himself a house and met the Nine Gods who knew of his innocence and
goodness. Ra said to the god Khunumu, “Behold, frame a woman for Bata that he may not
remain alone.” So Khunumu made for Bata a wife to dwell with him. She was indeed more
beautiful than any other woman in the whole land. She was like a goddess, and Bata loved
her very much.

What Is It

In the activity above you have read the selection and answered the questions that
you think might be possibly done by the characters. Why all of a sudden you were convinced
in each of the character’s statement? Those are the statements of the author that made you
believed is true and it is called assertion. Let us find out more on the next discussions.

8
Definition of Assertion. It is a stylistic approach or technique involving a strong
declaration, a forceful or confident and positive statement regarding a belief or a fact.
Source: https://bit.ly/30V8zl8

Types of Assertion
1. Basic Assertion - It is a simple and straightforward statement for expressing feelings,
opinions, and beliefs such as,

 “I wish I could have expressed this idea earlier, because now someone else
has taken the credit.”
 “Excuse me, first I want to finish my work, then I shall go with you.”
Source: https://bit.ly/30V8zl8

2. Emphatic Assertion - It conveys sympathy to someone, and usually has two parts:
the first encompasses recognition of the feelings or situations of the other person,
and the second is a statement that shows support for the other person’s viewpoint,
feelings, or rights such as,

 “I understand you are busy, and me too, but it is difficult for me to finish this
project on my own. So, I want you to help me complete this project.”
 “I know this is making you angry and frustrated because you have not gotten
a response yet. But I can help you by giving you an estimate of how long it
might take.”
Source: https://bit.ly/30V8zl8

3. Escalating Assertion - It occurs when someone is not able to give a response to a

person’s basic assertions, and therefore that person becomes firm about him or her.

 “If you do not finish this work by 6:00 tonight, I I will engage the services of
another worker.”
 “I really want to finish this point before you start yours.”
Source: https://bit.ly/30V8zl8

4. Language Assertion - It involves the first person pronoun “I,” and is useful for
expressing negative feelings. Nevertheless, it constructively lays emphasis on a
person’s feelings of anger.

 “When you speak harshly, I cannot work with you because I feel annoyed.
Therefore, I want you to speak nicely and then assign me a task.”
 “When I don’t get enough sleep, it affects my nerves and I feel irritated.
Therefore, I try to go to bed earlier.”

 Examples of Assertion in Literature

Example #1: Animal Farm (By George Orwell)

Squealer asserts, saying:

“It’s no longer needed, comrade … In Beasts of England we expressed our longing for a
better society in days to come. However, that society has now been established. Clearly this
song has no longer any purpose.”

Look at his language where he gives them information that is obvious, which they have
realized already, and no one can make arguments against it. Thus, no one argued against
his assertion.

Example #2: Pride and Prejudice (By Jane Austen)

Elizabeth attempts to defend her family background by asserting:

“I am a gentleman’s daughter.”

In fact, she sets herself free from the exasperating control of snobs like Miss Bingley, Mr.
Collins, and Lady Catherine, and declares:

“I am … resolved.”

Then further says with assertion:

“… to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness,

without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me.”

Example #3: Othello (By William Shakespeare)

DESDEMONA:
“I never did Offend you in my life, never loved Cassio
But with such general warranty of heaven
As I might love. I never gave him token.”

In these lines, Desdemona makes a dying assertion that she is innocent, denying Othello’s
accusations. However, blinded by emotion and furious, Othello is resolved to kill her.

Philippine beaches a magnet for first wave of returning Chinese travelers

By TTG Asia
Posted on 13 May, 2020 14:51
The first wave of Chinese travellers to hit the Philippines’ shores once travel
restrictions are lifted are likely to head to beach destinations such as Boracay, Bohol and
Cebu, according to a recent study by C9 Hotelworks and Delivering Asia Communications.

Social distancing protocols enforced at these locations, which are likely to stick
around post-pandemic, have increased the appeal of these already popular destinations,
concluded the two companies.
Conducted in the first week of May among 1,150 respondents from five first-tier cities
in China, the study drew out the preferences of the 700 or so respondents (61 per cent) who
said they were looking to travel to the Philippines this year and beyond.

Of the shortlisted travellers, about 630 were planning to travel to the country in 2020.
When asked which destination in Philippines they would be most likely to visit, most
shortlisted respondents (46 per cent) indicated Boracay, followed by Manila (23 per cent),
Bohol (21 per cent) and Cebu (6 per cent).

What Is It

Point 1: What Is Expository Text?

Expository writing is a mode of writing in which the purpose of the author is to inform,
explain, describe, or define his or her subject to the reader. Examples of
expository texts are textbooks, encyclopedias, scientific books/journals,
atlases, directions, guides, biographies, newspapers. (https://bit.ly/32Z97Jl)

There are five types of Expository Texts.

1. Sequence or Time Order
This type of expository text is often used to present events such as the
French and Indian War (in history class) or cell division (in biology class).
2. Listing (or description)
is used to explain the features of an object or event. Biology textbooks
list the features of reptiles, giving their body temperature, reproductive habits,
eating habits, etc.
3. Compare and Contrast
involves discussing similarities and differences. A Social Studies book
might compare the Government of the United States and the Government of
Great Britain.

13
4. Cause-Effect
A cause-effect pattern outlines reasons for events. The author
describes an event (such as the American Revolutionary War) and explains
what caused the event and the effects that followed from it.
5. Problem-Solution
A Problem-Solution pattern discusses a problem and then suggest.

Point 2: What is Linear Text?

Linear text refers to traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to the end.
This type of text has an order or sequence; it’s typically the author of the text who decides
the order of the text, or its reading path. Novels, poems, short stories, letters, educational
texts, all those texts we read from the beginning to the end, are linear texts.
(https://bit.ly/3jKJstP)

Point 3: What is Nonlinear Text?

Nonlinear text is the opposite of linear text. As its name suggests, it is nonlinear and
non-sequential. The readers do not have to go through the text in a sequential manner in
order to make sense of the text. This type of text has many reading paths since it’s the
readers who decide the sequence of reading, not the author of the text. Some examples
include flowcharts, charts, and graphs (ex: pie chart, bar graphs), graphical organizers such
as knowledge maps and story maps. (https://bit.ly/3jKJstP)

 Pie Chart/Graph: It is useful in showing the proportional distribution of items that

make up one whole amount. It looks like a pie that is divided into different parts.
 Bar Graph: A bar graph can be defined as a chart or a graphical representation of
data, quantities or numbers using bars or strips. (https://bit.ly/3jL290G)
 Bar graphs are used to compare and contrast numbers, frequencies or other
measures of distinct categories of data. (https://bit.ly/3jL290G)

What Is It

An overview of the previous lesson tells you something about linear and non- linear
text.

What is the Difference between Linear and Nonlinear Text?

Linear text refers to traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to the end
while nonlinear text refers to text that does not need to be read from beginning to the end.

16
As their names imply, linear texts are linear and sequential while non-linear are non-
sequential. Thus, there is only one reading path in linear texts, which is determined by the
author. However, nonlinear texts can have multiple reading paths depending on the
readers.

To understand the difference between linear and nonlinear text clearly, look at some
of the examples of both reading paths. Some examples of linear texts include novels,
poems, letters, textbooks, etc. In contrast, flow charts, knowledge maps, digital texts with
hyperlinks, and encyclopedias are some examples of nonlinear text. Furthermore, non-
linear allows readers to you to find specific information more quickly and efficiently.

What Is It
Types of Non-linear Texts
Some texts only use words to tell a story or give information. Other texts include
tables, concept maps, graphs, and pictures to convey important information which help us
understand the text better. These graphics make complex information easier to read and
understand. Different graphics are used for different purposes.

A table presents numerical data in an organized way. Information is presented in

columns and rows. This format makes it easy to compare information.
A concept map or conceptual diagram is a diagram that depicts suggested
relationships between concepts. It is a graphical tool used to organize and structure
knowledge. (https://bit.ly/3g7TnYe)

A graph helps organize information and categorize and compare data. It comes in
different forms such as the bar, line, and pie graph. Generally, it uses columns, lines,
geometric shapes, symbols and pictures to show information.
The use of tables, graphs, and maps are very helpful in representing data easier. It
also helps in problem solving and lets us see the big picture.

4. Present the data using a pie graph.

Trees play a very important role in all living creatures on Earth. They provide the
oxygen we breathe, and help maintain water supply. Trees are also sources of wood
used in building our homes, fruits that animals and humans eat, and paper which people
use in school and at work.
