Directions: Read the passage below and answer the following questions.
A Cabin in Syracuse, 1855
In the years before the Civil War, some concerned citizens teamed up to assist runaway
slaves in their perilous effort to escape bondage. They formed a network of safe houses along the
routes north. Elijah’s cabin in Syracuse, New York, was part of this Underground Railroad.
One blustery winter night, the family awoke to frantic rapping at the door. Elijah opened it
to see Amos, a friend from nearby Manlius, with two runaways—a young woman and a small girl,
both looking terrified and both shivering in drenched, tattered clothes.
“Come, sit by our fire,” said Elijah’s mother, who was welcoming. “I’ll have Elijah get it
roaring again, and then I’ll find you some dry clothes and warm food.”
“Oh, thank you kindly, ma’am,” replied the woman as the two runaways entered. “I’m Nola,
and we’ve been running hard for days. My little Ruby here is powerful hungry.”
Meanwhile, Elijah listened carefully to his instructions from Amos. “You’ll keep them here
two days,” he said gravely. “Best get your hiding space ready, as slave catchers have been spotted
nearby.”
Flashing two fingers to signal his mother, Elijah then sat with the guests as they ate and
drank heartily. “How long had it been since their last meal?”, he wondered. Whiskers trotted over
to meet the strangers. Ruby timidly stroked the furry cat and smiled—possibly for the first time in
days.

(Write your answers on the Learner's Activity and Assessment sheets.)

______________ 1. “He always calls me his Darling Daughter Deza, and I am supposed to answer
that he is my Dearest Delightful Daddy. He calls Jimmie the Genuine, Gentle Jumpin’ Giant, and
Jimmie’s supposed to call him his Fine Friendly Father Figure. Father also calls Mother the
Marvelous Mammalian Matriarch, but she says she won’t respond because she refuses to play silly
word games with such ‘a hardheaded husband who hasn’t heard how horrible he is’”.
(Source: http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/lesson_images/lesson31032/samples_literarydevices.pdf)

______________ 2. “If Mrs. Butler or Sam is talking to me, I can’t hear either of them. The only
thing I hear is the sound of my own pulse pounding in my ears. The way it would if I’d run all the
way back. Just the boom-boom-boom of my heart and the strange swish of the sprinkler next door. A
shush-shush followed by a metallic rat-a-tat-tat. Like firecrackers going off”.
(Source: http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/lesson_images/lesson31032/samples_literarydevices.pdf)

______________ 3. “A few blocks away, inside St. Joseph’s Church, Gerald Coleman lay
surrounded by splintered boards. When he looked up, he could see the sky. The tall roof, shaped like
an upside-down V, was gone. The church’s arched windows gaped glassless. Unseen by Gerald, his
friend Leo—the other altar boy—was trapped beneath a large wooden beam. Gerald scramble through
a hole in the wall and ran for home”.

______________ 4. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it
was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the
season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,
we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were
all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its
noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of
comparison only.”
(Source: http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/lesson_images/lesson31032/samples_literarydevices.pdf)

______________ 5. “A man is about to give a speech to a large audience on biology. Suddenly, he

remembers playing with frogs and toads in his backyard as a curious child. He smiles at the memory,
and then begins to speak to the audience about a new, groundbreaking finding about frogs.”

terms of accuracy and effectiveness.

 Give expanded definitions of words.

UNDERSTAND
Title Evaluate the information in the material viewed in terms of accuracy and effectiveness
A. Why is it important to evaluate the information contained in the material viewed
in terms accuracy and effectiveness?
It is important to evaluate the information contained in the material viewed in terms of
accuracy and effectiveness to be able to understand and acquire knowledge using our
critical thinking.

B. How is the material viewed evaluated in terms of accuracy and effectiveness?

The material is evaluated by doing the following:
1. Assess/ judge the relevance and worth of the ideas presented
2. Interpret/ analyze the information conveyed in the material viewed
3. Share personal opinion about the ideas presented
4. Agree or disagree with the ideas presented
5.Formulate predictions and draw generalizations/conclusions from the material viewed

C. What are the tips on how to write expanded definition of words?

In writing expanded definition of words, we must remember the following tips:
1. Classify your item precisely
Example: If you are defining photosynthesis, do not use the class a process.
Use the class a process a plant uses.
2. Use accurate and specific distinguishing characteristics
3. Expand your definition selectively
* Etymology -Where did the word itself come from?
Example: Photosynthesis
Photo- a combining word form meaning light
Synthesis – putting together
* History/Background – Where did the item/ concept come from?
* Negation – What does the term not mean?
Example: Social media is not about social status, common interest, print or television news,
Or conventional social norm
* Analysis of Parts – What are the parts/ elements of item/concept?
Example: Photosynthesis involves both light and dark reactions. The light requires light striking
chlorophyll. The dark creates carbohydrates through carbon fixation.
* Comparison and contrast – What are the items/concepts like or not like?
Example: Computer memory is like a room filing cabinets; it is organized to store a lot of information for
quick retrieval.

* Does the item/ concept need special material or conditions?

D. What is extended/ expanded definition of words?

"An extended definition may explain the word's etymology or historical roots,
describe sensory characteristics of something (how it looks, feels, sounds, tastes,
smells), identify its parts, indicate how something is used, explain what it is not,
provide an example of it, and/or note similarities or differences between this term and
other words or things," notes Stephen Reid in "The Prentice Hall Guide for College
Writers."
