In the next three weeks, we will be applying what we have learned from the past For this activity, students may
lessons. We will write expository and journalistic texts and put them together in a work in groups or pairs in
newsletter. To do this, we need to review what expository and journalistic texts filling out the Venn diagram
are. Then, we will learn what a newsletter is and what its purpose is. We will then worksheet.
make a two-page newsletter.

Let’s start by recalling what we already know about expository texts. Perhaps, a
good way to do this is by comparing expository texts with narrative texts.

Think of the story, “We Filipinos are Mild Drinkers” by Alejandro Roces (1945),
which is an example of a narrative text. Now, compare it with the expository text
that you read in #PHTravel: Sinulog, Ati-atihan, and Dinagyang, or IP Games
return to Palawan. What are their similarities and differences?

Based on the Venn diagram, the teacher explains the key similarities and
differences between expository and narrative texts.

Narrative:
- tells a story
- has action
- author’s purpose is to entertain
- has conflict and dialogue
- has a beginning, middle and end

Expository:
- provides information, explanation or direction
- author’s purpose is to inform or explain

3
 MATATAG K TO 10 CURRICULUM

- has a main idea (thesis)

- structure: sequence, comparison and contrast, problem and solution,
cause and effect

One of the articles that you will put in your newsletter is an expository text. You
may choose between sequencing, or comparison and contrast.
To recall, in Lesson 1, we wrote an essay comparing and contrasting Ati-Atihan
and Dinagyang Festivals using the Point-by-Point Method. In this activity you may
choose one of the following:
1. compare and contrast Sinulog and a festival in your locality using either
block or point-by-point method
2. write an essay comparing and contrasting two traditional
games/Larong Pinoy (For example, sipa and palo sebo)

You may refer to the sample comparison and contrast essays in Lesson 1 as your
guide.

The second type of article that you will include in your newsletter is a journalistic
text. This includes one or two news articles about current events in your school
or local community.

Please remember that there are specific rules or guidelines that you need to follow guidelines in the sample news
in writing a news report. Here are the most commonly used rules. report, IP Games return to
Palawan.
Guidelines for Headline Writing
1. The ideal headline is 5-10 words only. It must capture the readers’
attention.
2. The headline is always written in the simple present to indicate present or
past events. For example, IP Games return to Palawan, the verb “return”
is in the present tense even if the event has already taken place. If the IP
Games are still expected to happen in Palawan, the verb tense is “to + base
form”. For example, in IP Games to return to Palawan next year, “to
return” means “will return”.
3. It should be written in the active voice and should not begin with the verb.
For example, IP Games return to Palawan. This is in the active voice
because IP Games is also the doer of the action, “return”.
4. Do not use conjunctions such as “and or like. For example, if the headline
is “Palawan to host IP and Modern Games during National Palaro 2024”.
Instead of the conjunction “and”, we use comma (,) so the correct headline
is “Palawan to host IP, Modern Games in National Palaro 2024.” Note also
that we substitute “during” with the shorter word “in”.
5. Capitalize the first letter of the first word and the first letter of all proper
nouns. For example, in “IP Games to return to Palawan next year” IP is
capitalized because is it an acronym for Indigenous People which is a
proper for a specific name of a group. G in Games is also capitalized
because it refers to the specific name of the games which is IP Games.
Palawan is a specific name of a place so P is capitalized. But the rest are in
small letters.

And now that you already know the common rules, you can now apply them as
you write your news report. Below are the steps that you will follow in writing
your news report.

Steps in Writing a News Report

9
 MATATAG K TO 10 CURRICULUM

Step 1: Identify the newsworthy event that you will write about. These are events
that you believe are important or are interesting for your readers.

Step 2: Compile needed facts.

Remember that in lesson 5, we learned that facts are different from opinions.
- A fact is a statement which is generally acceptable and can be proven to
be true based on objective evidence. In other words, the statement is
verifiable by truthful accounts (figures, dates, statistical reports,
research findings, etc.).
- A fact is an event that happens, is happening, or has happened.
For example, the headline IP Games to return to Palawan on Nov 18, has four (4)
facts:
1. There is a sports event called IP Games.
2. The IP Games will be played again (to return) in Palawan
3. The games will be played in Palawan.
4. The games will be held on November 18.
All of the four statements above can be verified with objective evidence. All of the
statements are truthful information about an event that is about to happen.

When you compile your facts, you may begin by asking yourself the 5Ws
and 1H.
Be as specific as possible when writing down your facts.
Interview people who can give you reliable firsthand information.
Write word for word important statements that you can quote in your news
report.

Step 3: Write your news article

A. Write your lead. Alternatively, you may write the lead after you have
written the whole story.
B. Write the news report using the inverted pyramid format shown above.

Step 4: Submit your paper to your groupmates for peer revising and editing based
on the given checklist.’

Step 5: Revise and edit the news report based on the classmate’s suggestions.

newsletter.
