1. Read the second sentence again. What oft-used sentence does it remind you of?

> it reminded me of the books that I read in the past and how that one line is pretty but
does get over-used a lot.

2. What is the kind of language used in the text? Echoing our earlier activity, to which
kind of text would those sentences belong?

> They used the English language. These sentences belong to the descriptive kind of
text.

3. In Eiseley’s words, what might the lesson be? What do you think it means?
> The lesson might be the text telling us that sometimes we meet other people or other
organisms in life that have their own worlds which most of the time didn’t really have us
in before we meet them. We try to poke in their world and try and make a change but
since we are new, we aren’t that important yet but might be needed sometime else. I
think the lesson means that we humans have our own worlds but it doesn’t necessarily
mean that it can only revolve around us therefore we must think of all the other things
that actually do make the world go round..

4. If the spider is a metaphor for humans, then what might Eiseley be saying all along?

> He might be saying that humans in a way, are kind of like the spider that he was
studying therefore made a whole text or novel about it to try and make humans think
about the things they are doing.

5. How does Eiseley deliver his message?

> He delivered his message through writing it with his astonishing words creating an
amazing text. He used his experience to tell a new lesson to teach everyone who might
come across his work.

GOAL: To further understand the lesson text as connected discourse.
TASK: Look for an article, blogs and posts from a credible source about the profession of
your interest that you can use for textual analysis activity. Fill in the grid based on your
search then ask your classmate to verify the information that you have provided by
going too the same site and investigating the information you have gathered.

Title of Text: Industrial Engineering Facts

Locate Information:
Where did you find the article? Write the website.
➢ I found this article on google.com, the website is
https://www.bachelorsportal.com/articles/636/what-is-industrial-engineering-
and-why-should-i-study-it.html
Evaluate Information:
Was the information useful? Why or why not?
➢ Yes, it was useful to me because it had the answers to my personal queries and it
also has other information that I didn’t know and it helped me understand it
much better.
Evaluate Information:
Were you able to use the hyperlinks found in this site? Where they helpful? Why or why
not?
➢ I was able to use them for reference if ever I look into working abroad but for
now, they aren’t that useful because the links were made for a different country.
Synthesize Information:
If you have gone the several websites before choosing this site, What made you decide
to choose this site?
➢ The look and contents inside of this site was much easier for me to understand
than the ones that I saw before it and that’s what made me decide to choose it.
Synthesize Information:
Based on your reading of this site, summarize the information gathered (100-150-word
paragraph)
➢ The site I found started their introduction with the reason why they made the
site. They included question and answers to general information about this type
of engineering and they also included a hyperlink which leads you to a site that
has information about different schools or universities that has a bachelor’s
degree under industrial and system engineering. The site has five (5) main
questions about industrial engineering that they answered as well, (1) being
‘What is Industrial Engineering?’, (2) ‘Why study Industrial Engineering?’, (3)
‘What are the main differences between Industrial Engineering programmes?’,
(4) ‘What are the typical courses you’ll study during an Industrial Engineering
degree?’ and lastly, (5) ‘What are the career paths for Industrial Engineering
graduates?’. They also have a few more hyperlinks that might help in
understanding something better and then at the last part they a have a mini kind
of cheer to the students who wants to take up this course.
Communicate Information:
If you were to react to this article, what would you place on the comment that you will
post?
➢ I would say that they did a job in making this site and I admire their passion on
giving others a simple site with the general facts about industrial engineering. I’d
also comment on how much the site helped me in different ways and made me
understand the course much better.
