WHAT I NEED TO KNOW?
I. Introduction (Time Frame: 30 minutes)
Can you analyze the type of text presented in the following materials? Choose your answer
from the box and write it on the
space provided.
In the previous lesson, you learned about the parts of a paragraph and how to construct
one. In this week’s lesson, you will know the different types of paragraphs as well as their
features and examples. This lesson will also help you understand the appropriate structure
 of paragraphs depending on their purpose, and such knowledge will help you communicate
properly in different situations.
Types of Text
1. Expository text is non-fiction (true) that seeks to explain or inform. It focuses on a
specific topic. The writer shares ideas,
conveys information and provides proof and explanations. In expository writing, linking
words like first, second, then, and
finally are usually used to help readers follow the ideas.
2. Narrative text tells a story or part of a story. It includes plot structure, conflict,
characterization, setting, theme, point of
view, sequencing, and transitions. It is focused on the sequence of events to recount an
experience or occurrence and
the detail surrounding it. It may be a story about the life of a person, an account of a
significant historical incident, or a
report on how an invention or innovation came to be. The basic purpose of narrative is
to entertain, to gain and hold
readers' interest.
3. Persuasive text intends to convince the reader that the writer’s opinion is correct. It
expresses the author’s position or
stand on an issue and gives justifications for it. With persuasive text, the author tries to
convince the reader to adopt a
particular opinion or perform a certain action.
4. Explanatory text (sometimes called an explanation) is a type of non-fiction text that
explains a process (for example, how something works or why something happens).
Explanations are used to teach people new information.
5. Personal and Factual Recounts’ purpose is to list and describe past experiences by
retelling events in the order in which they happened. Recounts are written to retell
events with the purpose of informing your audience.
There are two types of recounts:
● Personal recount is when the writer is involved in the event. A personal recount has
a beginning, a middle and an
end.
● Factual recount is when the writer is not involved in the event but the structure is the
same as a personal recount, because it has a beginning, middle and end. The difference
between a personal recount and a factual recount is that a personal recount is a personal
moment that you have experienced and a factual recount is when it's a moment that the
writer has not experienced but has seen or thinks it is interesting to write about.

B. Development Learning Task 1: Match the items on the right to the items on the left. Write your answer on
the space provided before the number.

Learning Task 2: Sort out the text into Narrative, Expository, Explanatory, Persuasive,
Personal and Factual Recount.
 Learning Task 3: Identify the passage whether it is expository, narrative, persuasive,
explanatory, personal and factual recount.
__________________1. Renewable energy is energy that comes from sources that may
naturally be replenished over time. Examples of renewable energy are biomass in general,
hydropower, solar, wind, and geothermal. While the use of renewable energy is friendlier to
the environment, its yield is much less when compared with
traditional sources.
__________________2. Everyone should practice CLAYGO or Clean as you go not only in
schools but in all places as well. We should be responsible for our own waste. If we always
rely on somebody else to clean after us, what will happen if nobody is there to do it
anymore? Ensuring the cleanliness of our surroundings should not be the responsibility of
only a few people but of everyone.
__________________3. Every morning, George wakes up to the sound of his alarm. It’s
four o’clock in the morning, He just had three hours of sleep coming from a two-hour battle
with traffic going home the previous night. Now, he has to get up again, take a bath, and
prepared himself for another two hours of tiresome commute back to work.
__________________4. Last week, our class planted some bean seeds in ice-cream cups.
We watered the seeds. After that we placed the cups on the window sill in the sun. About
five days later, we observed that some of the seeds were beginning to germinate. A few
days later, the plants had started to sprout leaves. By the end of the week, they were about
seven centimeters tall.
__________________5. Why does it rain? Warm air turns the water from rivers, lakes, and
oceans into water vapor that rises into the air. That water vapors form clouds, which contain
small drops of water or ice crystals (depending on how high the clouds is and how cold it is.)
As cloud rise higher and higher, the air gets colder and colder. When the water vapor in the
cloud becomes too heavy, it falls back to the ground as rain or snow.

C. Engagement Learning Task 4: Choose one (1) topic from the list below and write a paragraph about it.
