LET US STUDY

ACTIVITY 1: KWL CHART

Topic: Properties of a well-written Text

KNOW WONDER LEARNED

What I already Know What I Want to Know What I have Learned

I already know what a I want to know the

paragraph is and what rules, mechanics, or the

its parts. I already know process of how getting

what does organization or achieving a well-

means in a text. I written text.

already know some of

the punctuations.

ACTIVITY 2: ARRANGE IT!

Which sentence should come first? Why?

Letter A. Facebook has been the number one social network in the web and

the world for quite long now. The reason is that the tone of the sentence is

like introducing a topic or making a topic.

Which sentence should be the second? Why?

Letter B. Mobile instant messaging apps are also dominating social presence

in the internet. This sentence should be the second because it uses the word

"also" it giving an additional idea or it’s supporting the first sentence.

Which sentence should be the third one? Why?

Letter D. Because of that, Facebook acquired WhatsApp, a leading instant

chat platform like Kakaotalk. This sentence should be the third because it

uses the word "also" it giving a result or outcome of the preceding sentence

to continue or bring up another idea supporting from the last sentence.

Which sentence should be the last? Why?

Letter C. After many acquisitions, Facebook bought Instagram, one of the

fastest growing photo sharing networks. This sentence should be the last

one because it uses the word "after many..." it's concluding the whole idea

of the sentences of the paragraph.

Based on your answer, do you think you have formed a well-

arranged paragraph? Why?

I can say that I have formed a well-arranged paragraph because I ensured

that this paragraph has an introductory statement, body of the paragraph,

and the paragraph's closing or conclusion sentence.

MECHANICS

Are there instances that you get confused when reading a text— say a street

sign, a product packaging, a random social media post/tweet, or a viral

meme?

- Yes

What do you think are the most common causes of confusion in writing?

For me, I think the most cause of confusion in writing is the use of

punctuations and proper capitalization of a noun.

Look at the following sample texts, then identify the reason that causes

confusion in the total understanding of the text.

What's wrong with this text is the missing use of a comma after a number

and also the misspelling of the word mistake.

The wrong in the text is the use of the pronoun your, it should be you're,

and the preposition in should be replaced in "to."

The wrong in the text is the lack of proper capitalization. The sentence

should be written like this: Dr. Kim Tan is a foreigner from China.

LET US REMEMBER

ACTIVITY 1.1 K-W-L CHART

 KNOW WONDER LEARNED

What I already Know What I Want to Know What I have Learned

I have learned to

distinguish a well-

written text you must

consider the unity and

logical arrangement of

ideas, appropriateness

of language use; and

proper grammar,

punctuation, spelling,

and format. Those

considerations make

up a well-written text.

ACTIVITY 1.2

It has the qualities of unity,

focus, development, coherence
and correctness
When the text is
organized that helps
to guide the reader It flows quickly,
logically through it. A well- smoothly, and with little
written text effort on the part of the
is… reader.

One can express a thought or

subject that both the writer

LET US ENHANCE

1. Quiet Please, Examination in Progress.

2. I don't understand why people always say that Mona Lisa is Leonardo

Da Vinci's best work. I really like his role in Titanic.

 3. Teach your kids proper grammar because remember it's just not their

future, it's all of us. 

4. Like, Titanic is obviously fake because, how do they record it when

they are all dying in the water?

5.  I find it weird that a lot of Filipinos apologize for their wrong English

grammar and shame others for it. You have nothing to be ashamed of

because it's not your first language. Even some Americans can't speak

proper English and that's their first language.

ACTIVITY 2. LET’S WRITE

Music and the Soul

What is music? Music could be a form of art that uses sound composed in

time. Music is additionally a form of excitement that puts sounds together in

a way that individuals like, discover interesting or dance to. Music is

everywhere, and many people tend to listen to music.

Why do people like music? We use music as a way to divert ourselves in

stressful situations. Music can calm us down or indeed approve our feelings.

We listen to music since we believe it helps us control our anger. Music

enables us to diminish our sentiments of loneliness.

Even in my experience, music helps me a lot, especially in the emotional

aspect. I'd even use my voice to serve God and at the same time having fun

with music. Music can be anything to us, music is great, music is awesome,

and I treat music as my soul. So, why don't you try to listen to some music?

Music is truly amazing!
