RECOGNIZING THE FEATURES OF READING


Week 1

As you go through your formal education, you will be expected to study or do some
research work. For these, you will have to do a lot of reading. To be able to come up with
your assignment on time, you must know how to read. These are the different methods of
reading, each one suited for particular purpose.
SKIMMING
is a type of fast reading. It gives you a quick overview of the material and help
you become familiar with the most important facts.

To skim, move your eyes quickly over the


material. Look for titles, subtitles and
illustrations that will give you clues about the
content of the material. If there are no titles,
subtitles or illustrations, read carefully the
topic sentence in the first paragraph; then skim
rapidly to the next paragraph. In this way, you
can get your facts without having to spend too
much time on reading matter.

Skimming and Scanning are reading techniques that use rapid eye movement and
keywords to move quickly through text for slightly different purposes.
Skimming is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material.
Scanning is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts.

How do you read a text? How has your purpose for reading have to do with it?

SCANNING- is another type of fast reading which allows


you to locate a piece of information quickly. Look for a key
word that will lead you to the facts and ideas you need.
When you find that key word. Read carefully for the definite
information you need.

Skimming is reading quickly to find the general overview of the passage.


Scanning is reading quickly to find specific details within the passage.

OSMEÑA COLLEGES Aspire…Achieve…Advance!


JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
ENGLISH 7.3RD Quarter. Page 9 of 24

CLOSE/IN-DEPTH READING- This is a slow and


careful type of reading used when you want to
understand your reading material better. For Close/In-
depth Reading you should apply or do the following;
Look for main ideas in titles,subheadings and first
sentences of paragraphs.
Read the selection carefully, noting the details such as
names, numbers and reasons.
Try to get meaning as much as you can and to make
connections between facts and ideas.

Practice each of these strategies so that you can use which –ever is
advantageous to the type of material being read.

Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to
get an overall impression of the content of a reading
selection.

How to Skim:
* Read the title.
* Read the introduction or the first paragraph.
* Read the first sentence of every other paragraph.
* Read any headings and sub-headings.
* Notice any pictures, charts, or graphs.
* Notice any italicized or boldface words or phrases.
* Read the summary or last paragraph.

Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific


information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read
a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.

How to Scan:
* State the specific information you are looking for.
* Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to
help you locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date,
you would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers.

Congratulations! You made it! You finally reach the end of the
whole module. For now, rest and remember everything that you
have learned. See you on our next topic.

ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE


Week 2

PROMPT: What is the difference between active and passive voice?

ACTIVE VOICE
When the subject of a sentence performs the verb’s action, we say that the
sentence is in the active voice. Sentences in the active voice have a strong,
direct, and clear tone. Here are some short and straightforward examples of
active voice.

Active voice examples:


Monkeys adore bananas.
The cashier counted the money.
The dog chased the squirrel.
All three sentences have a basic active voice construction: subject, verb, and
object. The subject monkey performs the action described by adore. The
subject the cashier performs the action described by counted. The subject the
dog performs the action described by chased. The subjects are doing, doing,
doing—they take action in their sentences. The active voice reminds us of the
popular Nike slogan, “Just Do It.”

Passive voice

OSMEÑA COLLEGES Aspire…Achieve…Advance!


JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
ENGLISH 7.3RD Quarter. Page 11 of 24

A sentence is in the passive voice, on the other hand, when the subject is acted
on by the verb. The passive voice is always constructed with a conjugated form
of to be plus the verb’s past participle. Doing this usually generates a
preposition as well. That sounds much more complicated than it is—passive
voice is actually quite easy to detect. For these examples of passive voice, we
will transform the three active sentences above to illustrate the difference.

Passive voice examples:


Bananas are adored by monkeys.
The money was counted by the cashier.
The squirrel was chased by the dog.
Let’s take a closer look at the first pair of sentences, “Monkeys adore
bananas” and “Bananas are adored by monkeys.” The active sentence consists
of monkeys (subject) + adore (verb) + bananas (object). The passive sentence
consists of bananas (object) + are adored (a form of to be plus the past
participle adored) + by (preposition) + monkeys (subject). Making the sentence
passive flipped the structure and necessitated the preposition by. In fact, all three
of the transformed sentences above required the addition of by.

VOICE– is a form of a verb takes to indicate whether the subject of the verb
performs or receives the action. There are two types of voice: Active voice and
Passive voice.

EXAMPLES OF ACTIVE VOICE:


The dog jumped onto the boy.
The dog (subject) is doing the jumping (verb).
Sir Jeric will give a book report to the class.
Sir Jeric (subject) is doing the giving (verb)
The computer ate my paper
The computer(subject) is doing the eating (verb)
Remember that these examples show that the subject is doing

EXAMPLES OF PASSIVE VOICE:


The boy was jumped on by the dog.
Boy(subject) was being jumped on (verb)
A book report will be given by Sir Jeric to the class
Report (subject) will be given (verb)
My paper was eaten by the computer
Paper (subject) was being eaten (verb)

Remember that these examples show the subject being acted


upon by the verb

module. For now, rest and remember everything that you have
learned. See you on our next topic.

PAST TENSE AND PAST PERFECT


TENSE
Week 3

PROMT: How do we use past tense and past perfect tense in a sentence?

OSMEÑA COLLEGES Aspire…Achieve…Advance!


JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
ENGLISH 7.3RD Quarter. Page 13 of 24

We use Simple Past if we give past events in the order in which they occured.
However, when we look back from a certain time in the past to tell what had
happened before, we use Past Perfect.

Do you just want to tell what happened some time in the past or do you want to
tell what had happened before/up to a certain time in the past?

*Note: "After" is only used as a signal word for Past Perfect if it is followed by a


subject + verb, meaning that one action had been completed before another
action began (the new action is in Simple Past).
Example:
After the family had had breakfast, they went to the zoo.
However, if "after" is followed by object + subject + verb, the verb belongs to
the new action and is therefore in Simple Past.
Example:
After her visit to the zoo, Jane was exhausted.
Depending on the situation, "when" can be used with Simple Past or Past
Perfect. Compare the following examples:
Example:
When Jane saw the elephants, she was amazed. (at the same time)
When Jane had seen the elephants, she wanted to see the giraffes. (second
action happened after the first action had been completed)
When Jane went to see the elephants, she had already seen the lions. (second
action had been completed when the first action took place)
Before
"Before" as well can either be used with Simple Past or Past Perfect. If the
action after "before" is a new action, use Simple Past. If the action after
"before" started (and was not completed) before a certain time in the past,
use Past Perfect. Compare the following examples:
Example:
Jane had read a lot about elephants before she went to the zoo.
Jane went to the zoo before she had finished reading her new book about
elephants.

module. For now, rest and remember everything that you have learned. See
you on our next topic.

Use direct and reported speech appropriately in varied contexts


Week 4
PROMPT What is direct and reported speech?

DIRECT SPEECH
is exactly what a person says. When we want to quote someone's exact words,
we use quotation marks
.
For example:
"The novel is really interesting," said Andrea.
When we want to report what someone said, we do not use quotation marks. We
report what they said, but we don't use their exact words. This is called reported
speech or indirect speech.
For example:
Andrea said the novel was really interesting.
When we use indirect speech, we are reporting what someone else said in a
different time and situation. Logically, we need to change some of the words
from the original statement.
This happens with person, place, time, and possessive words.
For example:
DIRECT SPEECH:"You are a very good employee."
REPORTED SPEECH: He said I was a very good employee.
(We need to change the person word.)
DIRECT SPEECH: "It is sunny here."
REPORTED SPEECH: She said it was sunny there.
(We need to change the place word.)
DIRECT SPEECH: "I went to a concert yesterday."
REPORTED SPEECH: She said she went to a concert the day before.
(We need to change the time word.)
DIRECT SPEECH: "Harvey is our pet dog."
REPORTED SPEECH: She said Harvey is their pet dog.
(We need to change the possessive word.)
REPORTING SPEECH

There are some verbs that we use very often when we report what other people
said.

Some of the most common ones are:


OSMEÑA COLLEGES Aspire…Achieve…Advance!

ENGLISH 7.3RD Quarter. Page 16 of 24

IMPORTANT NOTES
 say
 tell
 warn
 promise
 announce
 mention
For example:
 They said it rained all evening.
 She promised she would call me today.
 They announced that the President would make a speech.
 Greg mentioned that he was sick.
Remember that when we use the reporting verbs tell and warn, we always need
to say who.
For example:
Emily told me she had finished her project.
The lifeguard warned the swimmers there could be sharks.
It is important to remember that the word that in reported speech is almost always
optional.
For example:
They said there was a meeting at four o'clock.
OR
They said that there was a meeting at four o'clock.

would be able to relate
 A sentence is in the passive voice, on the other hand, when the subject is

THREE STRATEGIES!
LEGEND OF DAMA DE NOCHE
Many years ago, there was a rich Maharlika or
nobleman who spent his bachelor days wining and dining in
the company of nobility. He drank the finest wines, ate the
most delicious food, and enjoyed the company of the most

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
ENGLISH 7.3RD Quarter. Page 18 of 24

beautiful and bejeweled women of the noble class. After


spending this kind of life for many years, he decided to settle
down and get married to a woman of his choice. "But whom to
marry?" he asked himself, "All the women I know are
gorgeous and charming, but I am tired of the glitter of their
jewels and the elegance of their clothes!" Finally, he found
himself a simple, charming girl whose name was Dama.
They got married and lived happily. She loved and
pampered him with the most delectable dishes and kept his
home and clothes in order. But soon he got bored and began to
long for his friends' company. He looked at his wife and
thought, “She is not beautiful and doesn't have the air of
nobility and wisdom in her that I am so used to.” And so he
returned to his world of glitter and pleasure. He started to
spend his evenings sitting around with his friends, drinking,
and talking till the next morning.
Seeing this Dama felt that she was losing her
husband. She wept and prayed, "Oh God! Help me. Give me a
magic charm that would make my husband come home again
and never leave my side, forever!" At midnight he came home,
opened the door of their bedroom, and called for Dama to tell
her to prepare his nightclothes. He shouted for her and
searched the whole house, but he could not find his wife.
Finally he returned to their bedroom and when he opened the
door, he stopped. A sweet and fragrant scent that he had never
smelled before drifted to him. He went straight to the window
from where it seemed to be coming. He was amazed to see a
strange bush growing outside his window. The bush had
thousands of tiny star-like white flowers, from which the
heavenly and enchanting scent was coming.
He stood there, completely enthralled by the glorious
smell. "Dama..." he whispered softly, wondering, could this be
Dama? The noble man sat by the window and waited for his
loving, simple wife to return. But she did not come back. Only
the fragrance of the flowers stayed with him, casting a spell
over his entire life.
In the moonlight, Dama of the night, or Dama de
Noche would be in full bloom, capturing the rich Maharlika
and ensuring that he never leave her side again

How the World Was Created Panayan


By: F. Landa Jocano

END OF MODULE ASSESSMENT


One of the stories about the creation of the world, which the old Folks of Panay,
especially those living near the mountain, do not tire relating, tells us that in the
beginning there was not heaven or earth – only a bottomless deep and a world of
mist. Everything was shapeless and formless – the earth, the sky, the sea, and the
air were almost mixed up.
Then from the depth of this formless void, there appeared two gods, -- Tungkung
Langit and Alunsina. Just where these two deities came from it was not known.
However it is related that Tungkung Langit fell in love with Alunsina and, after so
many years of courtship, they got married and had their abode in
the highest realm of the eternal space where the water was constantly warm and
the breeze was forever cool. It was in this place where order and regularity first
took place.
Tungkung Langit was an industrious, loving and kid god whose chief concern was
how to impose order over the whole confused set-up of thins. He assumed
responsibility for the regular cosmic movement. On the other hand, Alunsina was
lazy, jealous and selfish goddess whose only work was to sit by the window of
their heavenly home, and amuse herself with her pointless thoughts.
Sometimes, she would go down from the house, sit down by a pool near their
doorstep and comb her long, jet-black hair all day long.
One day Tungkung Langit told his wife that he would be away from home for
sometime to put an end to the chaotic disturbances in the flow of time and in the
position of thins. The jealous Alunsina, however, sent the sea breeze to spy on
Tungkung Langit. This made the latter very angry upon knowing about it.
Immediately after his return from the trip, he called this act to her attention saying
that it was ungodly of her to be jealous, there being no other creature living in the
world except the two of them. This reproach was resented by Alunsina and a
quarrel between them
OSMEÑA COLLEGES Aspire…Achieve…Advance!
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
ENGLISH 7.3RD Quarter. Page 21 of 24

followed.
Tungkung Langit lost his temper. In his rage, he divested his wife of powers and
drove her away. No one knew where Alunsina went; she merely disappeared.
Several days after Alunsina left, however, Tungkung Langit felt very lonely. He
realized what he had done. Somehow, it was too late even to be sorry about the
whole matter. The whole place, once vibrant with Alunsina’s sweet voice,
suddenly became cold and desolate. In the morning, when he woke up, he would
find himself feel the same loneliness creeping deep in his heart because there was
no one to meet him at the doorstep or soothe the aching muscles of his arm.For
months, Tungkung Langit lived in utter desolation. He could not find Alunsina, try
hard as he would. And so, in his desperation, he decided to do something in order
to forget his sorrows. For months and months he thought. His mind seemed
pointless, his heart, weary and sick. But he must do something about his
loneliness.
One day, while he was sailing across the regions of the clouds, a thought came to
him. He would make a big basin of water below the sky so that he can see the
image of his wife, if she were just somewhere in the regions above. And lo! the sea
appeared. However, Alunsina was never seen. After a long time, the somber sight
of the lonely sea irritated Tungkung Langit. So he came down to the Middle-world
and created the land; then he planted this with grasses, trees and flowers. He took
his wife’s treasured jewels and scattered them in the sky, hoping that when
Alunsina would see them she might be induced to return home. The goddess’
necklace became the stars, her comb the moon and her crown the sun. However,
despite all these Alunsina did not come back.
Up to this time, the old folks in Panay say that Tungkung Langit is alone in his
palace in the skies. Sometimes, he would cry out his pent-up emotions and his
tears would fall down upon the earth. The people sat that rain is Tungkung
Langit’s tears and that is why in some localities in Panay, the first rain in May is
received with much rejoicing and sacrifice. Incidentally, when it thunders hard, the
old folks also say that it is Tungkung Langit sobbing, calling for his beloved
Alunsina to come back – entreating her so hard that his voice thunders across the
fields and countryside.
