 Notes to the Teacher
Dear Teachers: The lessons presented here may not be complete but you can
add inputs to your students should they need your
guidance.

What’s New

Have you tried writing a poem or essay allowing others to read those or ending
keeping it in your own? It’s time to share your write ups through making an online
portfolio of your work. We call it as blog.
Blog comes in two words: Web and log. It is a log or compilation of thoughts
and writing posted on the World Wide Web. Blogging is just one of the many
multimedia forms that you can make out of your literary compilations.

Activity 2. Spark Up!

Have you tried writing poems, stories or reflective essays? Start your suite of
literary portfolio through writing poems, stories or reflective essays based on the
different sociopolitical issues around.

a. Pick a Name:
Choose a descriptive name for your blog. Be creative. Draw it inside the
box.

9
 b. Create your literary suite:
Now then, write a short description of why such name was chosen. Also,
make an outline of the literary pieces (poems, short stories, vignettes, etc.)
that you want to include for your blog. Your creative poems, stories or
reflective essays can be based on the following issues:

What is It

Multimedia is a form of communication that combines different content such

as text, audio, images, animations, or video into a single presentation.

The combination of different communicative elements such as text, images,

animations, or video into a specific presentation is called as multimedia.

Here are the basic concepts about multimedia:

Multimedia presentations can be downloaded or streamed. One can view it on

stage, projected, transmitted or played with a media player. These are characterized
as analog or digital electronic media technology.

Multimedia categories:

1. Linear active content is not dependent on the control of the viewer. An example of
this is a movie presentation.

2.Non-linear is dependent to the control of the viewer like video game or computer-
based training,

Hypertext Literature:

People are good in reading. With the vast changes brought by technology,
everything becomes readily available with a single click. That includes your favorite
literary pieces.

Hypertext attempts to share control of literature with the reader. A reader

can click through a document without conforming to any linear order the person who
created the hypertext document might have intended. The key creative problem in
building literary hypertexts is delivering a satisfactory reading experience, including
tension and closure.

10
The hypertext way of experiencing and describing events in art is everywhere. It is an
excellent way of organizing principle for many kinds of information but attempts to
capture the accumulating narrative of fiction don't work well on the Web.

However, the many elements competing for attention, may be what makes
reading literary hypertext on a screen so difficult. Hypertext writers need tools that
make it impossible for a reader to do anything other than read the work while it's
open. When a person reads a book, there is no real distraction. When a person sees a
movie or a play, the room is dark except for the stage and/or screen and therefore he
can't help but to be focused on it. To be successful, hypertexts must be as immersive
as other media.

A big part of immersion is knowing when it's over and when a reader can
come up for air. It's not the writer who creates closure in hypertexts, it's the reader.

Hypertext Literature allows readers create their own narrative and

connections, regardless of the order in which the screens are presented. Every time a
person reads it, it's a different story. The reader gets to make the decision as to when
the story is over.

Things to Consider in Making Blog:

According to Thompson (2020), there are several ways on how to enhance your blog.

1. Know your audience. Before you start writing, it’s crucial that you know who
your audience is, and what they are looking for. Instead of guessing what your
audience needs or wants, try to make data-driven decisions by doing industry
research and competitor analysis.

KeywordTool.io: This is a free tool that you can use to see what some of the most
popular keywords searched by users in your industry are.

Twitter Advanced Search: Simply type your keyword and select the filter “questions”
and it will show you all the questions that folks in your industry are asking.

Quora: A great resource to find questions folks in your industry are asking.

SEMRush: Although it’s a paid tool, it works extremely well and allows you to spy on
your competitors and steal their best ideas.

2. Write captivating headlines. If you don’t have a compelling headline, then

there’s a very good chance that your blog post will not be read or shared. As
humans, we are shallow. We judge a book by its cover and a blog post by its title.
That is why your blog post title is crucial for the success of that article.

3. Add subheadings and shorter paragraphs to break up the page. Formatting is

super important for blog posts. There’s nothing worse than reading a blog post that
is just one giant paragraph. Most of the time people skim through the content before
they actually decide to read it, so it is recommended to break up your article with

11
subheadings. Anything you can do to make it easy on the user’s eyes is going to help
your audience read your blog post (and take the action that you want them to).

4. Use bullets. People tend to skim blog posts before they decide to read it. That
means you need to make sure to highlight your best information. That way, they can
quickly see that your post is worth their time. Bullet points are an excellent way to
spoon-feed your audience in a way that keeps them coming back for more.

5. Add images. The human brain processes visual content a lot faster than text-
based content. That’s why adding captivating images can help boost your
engagement. Take your own photos or create your own images.

What’s More

Activity 4: Glean and Style

Directions: Gather all the literary pieces you originally crafted since the start of your
journey in Creative Writing. Then, make a soft copy of these literary pieces using any
available applications in your computer (like MS Office). Style them using pictures,
color and varied font styles. Be creative. Post them in your class FB group page or
any similar online platform.
