Sentence Arrangement
Directions: Arrange the jumbled sentences to formulate a coherent paragraph. Write
the number that corresponds to the sentence in the space provided below.
I. Although mental health literacy as a research concept has received
considerable attention in other parts of the world, it still remains relatively
unexplored in low-income countries especially among young people.
II. The term “mental health literacy” has been defined as knowledge and skills
that enable people to access, understand and apply information for mental
health (CAMIMH, 2008).
III. Such information may be particularly important in the development of not
only mental health literacy campaigns that target young people in schools
but also provide an opportunity to develop and improve young peoples’
knowledge and skills to cope with life challenges and stresses.
IV. This definition highlights the importance of supporting skills development and
empowering individuals to make informed mental health promoting
decisions.
V. This would subsequently minimize behavioral, emotional and mental health
problems while maximizing their abilities to reach full academic and other life
potentials (Hoven et al, 2008)

HERE’S HOW IT IS!
Writing the Review of Related Literature
Stage 1: Searching for the Literature
This is the stage of review of related literature where you devote much of your time
in looking for sources of knowledge, data, or information to answer your research questions
or to support your assumptions about your research topic. Generally, there are three basic
types of literature sources: general references that will direct you to the location of other
sources; primary sources that directly report or present a person’s own experiences; and
secondary sources that report or describe other people’s experiences or worldviews.
Secondary sources of knowledge give the most number of materials such as the Internet,
books, peer-reviewed articles in journals, published literary reviews of a field, grey literature
or unpublished and non-peer reviewed materials like theses, dissertations, conference
proceedings, leaflets and posters, research studies in progress, and other library materials.
Stage 2: Reading the Source Material
Reading, understanding, or making the materials meaningful to you is what will
preoccupy you on the second stage of reading RRL. You can only benefit much from your
reading activities if you confront the reading materials with the help of your HOTS. In
understanding the sources of knowledge with your HOTS, you need to think interpretatively
through these ways of inferential thinking: predicting, generalizing, concluding, and
assuming. On top of these should be your ability to criticize or evaluate, apply, and create
things about what you have read. Hence, reading or making sense of the source materials
does not only make you list down ideas from the materials, but also permits you to modify,
construct, or reconstruct ideas based on a certain principle, theory, pattern, method, or
theme underlying your research.
Stage 3: Writing the Review
You do a great deal of idea connection and organization in this last stage of RRL
to form an overall understanding of the material by paraphrasing or summarizing it. In doing
either of these two, you get to change the arrangement of ideas, structures of the language,
and the format of the text using appropriate organizational techniques of comparison-
contrast, chronological order, spatial relationship, inductive-deductive order, and
transitional devices. Also, you make effective changes not only on language structures and
format but also the quality of ideas incorporated into the summary or paraphrase as well.
This means that in writing the review, based on the focus, theme, or theory underlying your
research, you are free to fuse your opinions with the author’s ideas. (Corti 2014).
