Read the short story about COVID19.
14
The WHO declaration is also an important moment for the COVID-19 story
because it reveals how data about notifications of diagnosed infection and deaths are
used to make decisions and therefore reveals how, in the circumstances of a pandemic,
it is keenly apparent that numerical and narrative futures constitute each other.
COVID-19 resembles these other outbreaks and pandemics, but the news stories
about it seem to have a distinctively numerical quality. The number of known
infections in a particular place over a period of time gives an index of the
transmissibility of an infection. Mortality rates – a measure of the proportion of people
that die with an infection – are also woven into pandemic stories, in general. But
COVID-19’s numbers seem to be its story. News feeds continually update the counts of
diagnoses and deaths, and have numerically tracked the contagion from a supposed
source in China to other countries, notably South Korea, Iran and Italy, and then to
most other parts of the world. This pandemic by numbers approach charts the
particular transmissibility and severity of this virus, but also lends itself to our
increasingly complex small-screen media diet, where numbers and graphs alongside
images and videos more easily convey the COVID-19 story than do long form narrative
texts.
COVID-19 also comes into a context where public health systems have
increasingly turned to mathematical models to make decisions about how to manage
various infections, notably HIV and influenza. Models are used to decide how to apply
resources and strategies to best effect. For example, modelling has shown how HIV can
be prevented by HIV treatments, because they reduce the likelihood of the
transmission of the virus. For influenza, models are used to calculate what proportion
of the population needs to be vaccinated to protect the whole population from an
emerging infection. These models can be adjusted to fit what is known about the
biosocial properties of a particular infection, the efficacy of treatments and vaccines,
and cost. In the case of COVID-19, for example, models may be indicating that
containment will reduce the speed and scope of transmission and therefore reduce
mortality, the burden on the health system, and ultimately the cost for governments.
COVID-19 may be a fully-fledged algorithmic pandemic in the sense that its storyline
is transparently about its numbers and because it is managed in terms of the models
that combine numerical indices of transmission, mortality, burden, and cost.
15
example, through reference to the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic, swine flu in 2009,
and other outbreaks, and on that basis orient the narrator and their interlocutors to
possible futures. Public policy statements about containment requirements and news
media vision of empty supermarket shelves both reflect action in the present that is
predicated on pasts and aims to shape futures.
For all its life threatening, anxiety-making potential, though, the numerical
narrative on COVID-19 is surprisingly impersonal. Stories of the many lives affected by
the pandemic and the full tenor of its corporeal horrors are crowded out by
governmental advice and updating of the numbers. One reason for this separation of
pandemic knowing and lived experience is their incommensurability. Pandemics are
constituted in the sheer scale and spread of their numbers, so much so that no one
person can experience a pandemic without recourse to some signification of this
calculated, collective plight. Infections, in contrast, are visceral and personal, including
for those who devote themselves to providing care. Moreover, narrative arguably
meets its limits in the experience of an infection because, like traumatic experience,
living through a debilitating one is not an easy story to tell. Some accounts of how
people experienced the 1918-1919 pandemic remark on the lack of affect, giving the
impression that emotion was bracketed aside as irresponsible, impossible or even a
luxury.
Numerical narrative, then, may not only be one of the ways we can know a
pandemic is happening; it may provide the means of living with emerging threat. As
they say, time – and numbers – will tell how things turn out for COVID-19.

In the early 1800’s, the United States needed room to grow. The problem was most
people lived in the east. The cities were crowded. New land was expensive. Young
families could not afford to buy farms.
Then, as a solution, the United States government purchased land from France.
The government also acquired land from Mexico. Soon the country stretched all the
way to the Pacific Ocean. People looked to the setting sun outstretched arms and
said, “Go west.” Settlers rode in wagons and on horses. They followed long and dusty
trails across hot plains for thousand miles. There was no shelter. People slept in tents
on the ground. They had to watch out for wild animals like wolves and snakes. The
trip west could take months.
Then a railroad was built that stretched from the east coast to the west coast,
which made travel faster. More people poured into the new lands. The settlers
quickly built small towns where farming, fishing, and mining were good.

Text Types (Different Types of Writing)
Text types in literature form the basic styles of writing. Factual texts merely seek to
inform, whereas literary texts seek to entertain or otherwise engage the reader by
using creative language and imagery. There are many aspects to literary writing,
and many ways to analyze it, but four basic categories are descriptive, narrative,
expository, and argumentative.
Descriptive writing is usually used to help a writer develop an aspect of their work
Examples: to create a particular mood, atmosphere or describe a place so that the
reader can create vivid pictures of characters, places, objects etc.
Language
• aims to show rather than tell the reader what something/someone is like.
• relies on precisely chosen vocabulary with carefully chosen adjectives and adverbs.
• is focused and concentrates only on the aspects that add something to the main
purpose of the description.
• sensory description - what is heard, seen, smell, felt, tasted. Precise use of
adjectives, similes, metaphors to create images/pictures in the mind e.g. their noses
were met with the acrid smell of rotting flesh.
• strong development of the experience that "puts the reader there" focuses on key
details, powerful verbs and precise nouns.
22
The basic purpose of narrative is to entertain, to gain and hold readers' interest.
Narratives sequence people/characters in time and place but differ from recounts
in that through the sequencing, the stories set up one or more problems, which
must eventually find a way to be resolved. The common structure or basic plan
of narrative text is known as the "story grammar". Although there are numerous
variations of the story grammar, the typical elements are:
Types of Narrative
There are many types of narrative. They can be imaginary, factual or a
combination of both. They may include fairy stories, mysteries, science fiction,
romances, horror stories, adventure stories, fables, myths and legends, historical
narratives, ballads, slice of life, personal experience.
Features:
• Characters with defined personalities/identities.
• Dialogue often included - tense may change to the present or the future.
• Descriptive language to create images in the reader's mind and enhance the
story.
Structure
In a Traditional Narrative the focus of the text is on a series of actions:
Orientation
(Introduction) in which the characters, setting, and time of the story are
established. Usually answers who? When? Where? E.g. Mr. Wolf went out hunting
in the forest one dark gloomy night.
Complication or problem
The complication usually involves the main character(s) (often mirroring the
complications in real life).
Resolution
There needs to be a resolution of the complication. The complication may be
resolved for better or worse/happily or unhappily. Sometimes there are a number
of complications that have to be resolved. These add and sustain interest and
suspense for the reader.
Furthermore, when there is plan for writing narrative texts, the focus should be
on the following characteristics:
• Plot: What is going to happen?
• Setting: Where will the story take place? When will the story take place?
• Characterization: Who are the main characters? What do they look like?
• Structure: How will the story begin? What will be the problem? How is the
problem going to be resolved?
• Theme: What is the theme / message the writer is attempting to communicate?
23
problem and solution - is a pattern of organization where information in
a passage is expressed as a dilemma or
concerning issue (problem) and something that
was, can be, or should be done to remedy the
issue solution).

There is silence. Everyone waits for the Pendulum to say whether the answer is
correct or not. And then. . .
PENDULUM: Very good, smart fellow! Now, you all see why I’m tired of
ticktocking. It’s too much to ask of anyone. So please count me out.
FACE: Mr. Pendulum, would you mind wagging six times, only six times to

PENDULUM: With pleasure! Here. . . tick-tock, tick-tock.
FACE: Thank you, I hope it did not tire you.
PENDULUM: Of course not. Sixty times would not tire me, nor six hundred, nor
six thousand, but when it comes to thirty-one million. . . ugh! That’s too much
to ask of anyone.
FACE: It tires you to think about all those wags, but it does not tire you to wag
one wag at a time. Isn’t that true?

summer, spring, and fall. Think about it. Nobody hurries you.

out.
Then, up came a pretty girl. She looked at some gift items at a nearby counter.
Robie’s sensor light blinked red. A human child like the girl would know about
family.
Robie boldly asked her, “Tell me, please, what is a loved one? What gifts do you
give your loved ones?”
“Sorry, but I don’t know,” came the reply. “I don’t usually give them anything.
Father, Mother, my sister Alice, and my little brother Joshua don’t except anything
from me, anyway. But perhaps, this time. . .Excuse me. I have to go.” And the
pretty girl disappeared.
Robie thought about the girl’s reply. He thought he now had an idea of the
meaning of loved one, family, and so on. But he had an errand to do and he set
about it. He delivered a box of Thank-You cards to the manager of the bookstore.
And for this, he received a hundred-peso bill. As he received the money, his sensory
light quickly flashed green. The pretty girl appeared once more. This time, the girl
went to the greeting card shelves. With her little fingers, she picked out one card
after another, read the message, and then, turned it over to see the tag price, then
she shook her head as she quickly returned each card and to the shelf. Once more,
she disappeared from Robie’s sensor.
Just then, the pretty girl reappeared. She now had with her a little box that jingled
with coins. She poured out the coins at the counter.
With a smile, the store cashier said, “Looks like you’re ready to spend your
savings.”
“Yes, I am,” the pretty girl replied. “I’ll give my family these little gifts as a sign of
my love even if they already know I love them. Exactly, eighty pesos for this comb
for Mother, a handkerchief for Father, a pencil case for my brother, and a set of
crayons for my sister.”
Hearing this, Robbie’s antennae a stood straight up. His sensor flashed purple. The
pretty girl’s family was so lucky, he thought. He rolled up to the pretty girl.
Holding out the cards, Robie pleaded, “Please accept this greeting card for you
and give the rest to your family. Tell them that a small robot loves them.”
Tears of joy rolled down Robie’s metallic eyes as he rolled out of the bookstore, his
wheels clicking noisily and merrily, perhaps the most merrily ever!

Mood is the feeling you get while reading a story. This could be happiness, sadness,
darkness, anger, suspicion, loneliness, or even excitement. You can think of mood as
the atmosphere of the story.
The mood of a story can change how we identify the thesis and the characters. For
example, if we read a short story about a lovable nanny, we would expect positive
words like cheerful, loving, and caring. However, we could take that same idea of a
44
nanny and make it more of a horror story by changing the atmosphere with
aggravated, cold, and enraged. We have thesame character, but the author's message
and description is much different.
The mood or the thoughts and feelings people have when they think of that kind
of subject, is dark or unsettling. However, the writer might choose humorous
words and sentences to discuss the subject.
In literature, the tone of a literary work expresses the writer's attitude toward or
feelings about the subject matter and audience.
In literature the tone of a work relates to the choice of words an author uses.

What Is It
There are many different types of visual aids. The following advice will help you
make the most of those most commonly used
.
PowerPoint (or equivalent)
Microsoft PowerPoint is probably now the most commonly used form of visual aid.
Used well, it can really help you in your presentation; used badly, however, it can
have the opposite effect. The general principles are:
Paper handouts
Handouts are incredibly useful. Use a handout if your information is too detailed to
fit on a slide or if you want your audience to have a full record of your findings.
Flip chart
A flip chart is a large pad of paper on a stand. It is a very useful and flexible way of
recording information during your presentation - you can even use pre-prepared
sheets for key points.
Artefacts or props
Sometimes it can be very useful to use artefacts or props when making a presentation
(think of the safety routine on an aeroplane when the steward shows you how to use
the safety equipment). If you bring an artefact with you, make sure that the object
can be seen and be prepared to pass it round a small group or move to different
areas of a large room to help your audience view it in detail.
What’s More
Directions: Arranged the following sentences to form a report. Follow the format below.
Classes from preschool to secondary levels will be suspended in all affected areas. Alert is
up for those living near rivers and coastal areas.
Evacuation is advised to those in the danger zone because of possible floods and landslides
due to the amount of water typhoon Pablo is set to release.

What Is It?
Echo Reading
Echo reading is often called rereading, but technically there are differences between
the two.
Echo reading is usually employed for students in elementary school, and on occasion
for middle school students.
Echo reading can also be done in pairs, or even in groups of three or more at the
discretion of the teacher.
Echo reading is a form of rereading, and the teacher should not hesitate to have the
student repeat a difficult word or phrase over and over again until it is mastered.
A teacher can instruct parents on this methodology so it can be utilized in the home.
It can help a struggling student improve in several areas including:
• Confidence
• Comprehension
• Identifying unknown words
• Improving listening skills
• Proper phrasing
• Vocabulary
69
Echo Reading Steps
1) First, the teacher reads a sentence to the student. Later, as the student progresses,
the teacher can read two sentences or maybe even an entire paragraph. A properly
trained fellow student with high-level reading skills can also perform this task when
permitted.
2) The student tracks the text with her eyes. Some teachers will track the text with
their finger or permit the student to do this. Other teachers will experiment with
using a combination of both methods to see which works best with each individual
student. Either way, it is critical to the success of echo reading that the student can
clearly see all the words.
6) This process is repeated until the teacher feels the student is too frustrated or
fatigued.

Directions. Read the given story. Observe accuracy rate and proper expressions in
choral echo and shadow reading.
What I Can Do
