What’s In

[transcriber’s note: the lesson heading that this section belongs to is not printed on these pages]

Previously, you learned about composing effective paragraphs. In this activity, you will show your understanding of the message and structure of a sample paragraph.

Activity: Choose the Best!

Directions: Read the paragraph below. Then, answer the questions that follow. Copy the letters of the correct answers on a separate sheet of paper.

Since we need to observe quarantine protocols during COVID-19 pandemic, the government leaders issued directives on what we should do to avoid getting or spreading the virus. For instance, we are trained to observe social distancing, to wear facial mask, as well as, to do frequent hand washing because these will prevent the virus from spreading. Moreover, people aging 20 years and below, senior citizens, and those with health problems are not allowed to go outside. They are among the vulnerable populations, so we must protect them from getting infected. If we allow the children, the elderly, and the sick to go out, they can easily get infected. When more people get infected, our hospitals might be overwhelmed and they would not be able to take care of the sick because of lack of beds, facilities, nurses, and doctors. Online selling has become more popular due to the closure of department stores. Thus, everyone must be responsible and follow health protocols to help save lives.

1. Which part of the paragraph speaks about its main idea?

   • A. first sentence C. second sentence
   • B. fourth sentence D. third sentence

2. Which of the following sentences does not support the main idea in the paragraph?

   • A. Online selling has become more popular due to the closure of department stores.
   • B. Thus, everyone must be responsible and follow health protocols to help save lives.
   • C. For instance, we are trained to observe social distancing, to wear facial mask, as well as to do frequent hand washing.
   • D. Moreover, people aging 20 years and below, senior citizens, and those with health problems are not allowed to go outside.

3. How many sentences support the main idea in the above paragraph?
   A. 2 sentences C. 4 sentences
   B. 3 sentences D. 5 sentences

   
   

4. What specific word in the paragraph convinces us to follow health protocols?
   A. COVID 19 C. government
   B. directives D. lives

   
   

5. What text type is exemplified in the above paragraph?
   A. descriptive C. narrative
   B. recount D. persuasive

   
   

Great! You still remember the previous lesson about main ideas and supporting details. Such lesson helped you understand the important elements of a text or a paragraph. A paragraph or a series of paragraphs make a specific type of text. Read on and find out more about text types.

What’s New

At this point, you will read different paragraphs that make up specific text types. Text types classify texts according to their purposes, so they are structured differently, too. Some texts narrate a series of events, while others explain how something works. Other text types give instructions or list procedures, while others argue for a point to convince readers. In this module, sample text types are given and explained so that you can eventually write your own paragraphs.

Activity 1: Identify Me!

Directions: Read the discussion on the different text types and complete the table below.

Texts	Purpose	Text Type
1. Fairy tale
2. Biography
3. Recipe
4. News report
5. Diary entry
6. Article showing causes of global warming
7. Why thunderstorms occur?
8. Should social media be banned among JHS students?

Text types may be categorized in a number of ways. The following lists the more common text types you read almost every day.

1. Narrative – tells a story which can be fiction (made-up story) or non-fiction (real events). Shorts stories and other traditional tales are examples of fiction, while biographies are examples of narrative non-fiction.
2. Explanation – explains a particular subject or topic through ideas that support it. It is a kind of factual text that explains how or why things are. It elaborates on how or why something occurs or give information on how to do something.
3. Expository – are also informational texts that present factual data on a topic through description, sequence, comparison and contrast, cause and effect, and problem-solution.
4. Procedural text – lists a sequence of actions or steps needed to make or do something. Some examples include recipes, science experiments, assembly manuals, or instructions for playing games. This should not be confused with explanations on processes, because procedural texts are more directive and imperative. They instruct readers on how to go about processes.
5. Recount – retells past events which may either be personal or factual.
   • Personal recount – retells past events that the writer was personally involved in. Diary entries and short personal memoirs are examples of personal recounts
   • Factual recount – retells events that also happened in real life but may not be about the writer himself/herself. News reports and witness statements are examples of factual recounting.
6. Persuasive text – intends to convince the readers/listeners to believe, perform a certain action or change mind. Examples of persuasive text types include advertisements, editorials, debate speeches, arguments, and persuasive essays and speeches.

What is It

Text types are distinguished from one another based on their purpose, their structure, and recurrent language features.

Activity 2. Text Structure

Directions: Analyze the following examples and describe how ideas are developed in each sample text type.

Text type	Structure or Idea development
Narrative	Example: • Presents events in chronological order or causal relationship • Uses the pyramidal structure from exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and denouement.
Explanation	•
Expository	•
Procedure/instructions	•
Factual Recount	•
Personal Recount	•
Persuasive

Example 1. Narrative

Friendship Detour by Clarit, Tresh

Aga’s fun afternoon was replaced with sadness. The moment he checked his timeline on Facebook, Bobby was the topic. Aga was shocked that his best friend, Bobby died. Five hours earlier, they ate chicken barbecue and enjoyed the view of their favorite beach resort. After that, they proceeded to a nearby restaurant and ordered the best-selling halo-halo. They saw other friends enjoying their meals, too. Aga just decided to go home to rest for the next day’s trip. They both got into their motorbikes. That was the last time Aga saw him.

Example 2. Explanation

Why Sleep is Important

Sleep is like food for your brain. Getting enough sleep is important for your physical and mental wellbeing. Sleep lets your mind recharge and process information. It’s the only part of the day that your body gets to rest and repair. Sleep can also help you feel better, think more clearly, and concentrate better. It gives you energy to complete tasks and can make you more alert. Without enough sleep you may have problems with thinking, concentrating, memory, reaction times and mood.

Example 3. Expository text

There are several characteristics which distinguish plants from animals. Green plants are able to manufacture their own food from substances in the environment. This process is known as photosynthesis. In contrast, animals, including man, get their food either directly from plants or indirectly by eating animals which have eaten plants. Plants are generally stationary. Animals, on the other hand, can usually move about. In external appearance, plants are usually green. They grow in a branching fashion at their extremities, and their growth continues throughout their lives. Animals, however, are very diverse in their external appearance. Their growth pattern is not limited to their extremities. It is evenly distributed and only occurs in a definite time period. Therefore, the differences between plants and animals is quite significant.

Example 5. Personal Recount

Memories Last a Lifetime by Clarit, Tresh

My family used to visit my grandparents’ farm in the province. I had all the first-time experiences such as: riding on a carabao, climbing fruit trees, swimming in the river and pounding pinipig rice. I could not forget also how my mother cooked her special bibingka or rice cake for us. I felt that life in the farm was fun. It made me realize that happiness cannot only be found at the city but also in the countryside.

Example 6. Factual recount

Footsteps in the Moon by Clarit, Tresh

Riding in a spacecraft named Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong and company were determined to reach the moon. On July 20, 1969, they successfully made it. “One giant leap for mankind!” the historical line exclaimed by Neil Armstrong. This has been a tough challenge to an astronaut’s mission that brought success to his nation. Such honor made him noteworthy. Carrying his nation’s flag placed on the moon’s surface was a victory.

November 7, 2016 8:08 AM (Saturday)

Oh, how time flies! It was 2016 and I had the chance to travel with my sister in Manila. We had the chance to meet and greet our relatives for the first time. We had the best experience hopping from one spot to the other. It was one unforgettable experience and would surely have a lot more in the future.

November 8, 2017 4:04 PM (Sunday)

I had once visited a place last vacation. I was amazed by the environment. I loved its calm and peaceful scenery. Whenever I saw the trees, flowers and birds, they gave me the feeling of happiness. I felt relieved from stress. That place gave me the comfort and relaxation I needed.

Example: Factual Recount – News Article

Example:

The “community pantry” of essential goods that first emerged along a street in Quezon City has spread in other areas in and out of Metro Manila. Many persons praise such effort as a form of community spirit, where strangers help strangers during the COVID-19 pandemic. But at the same time, they see it as a critique of the government’s response to the coronavirus, which they feel is not reaching the people who need help the most. “We are here to remind each other that we can rely on one another. After all, we can’t really rely on anyone else”,
