LESSON 1
Literary Conventions of Genre
Objectives
At the end of this Guided Learning Activity Kit, you are expected to:
1. identify the different literary conventions of genre;
2. analyze the theme and techniques used in a particular text; and
3. write a draft of a short piece (Fiction, Poetry, Drama, etc.) using any of
the literary conventions of genre.
LITERATURE
Literature is defined by many as any written and
spoken works.
It may be classified into five categories or genres:
1) prose fiction, 2) poetry, 3) drama, 4) nonfiction,
and 5) creative nonfiction.
1) Prose fiction

is an imaginary story.
Examples of prose fiction include novels, short
stories, fables, fairy tales, legends but it now also
encompasses films, comic books, and video games.
EXAMPLES
a. Fable-Narration demonstrating a useful truth, especially in which animals speak as humans;
legendary, supernatural tale.
b. Fairy Tale-Story about fairies or other magical creatures, usually for children.
c. Fantasy-Fiction with strange or other worldly settings or characters/ fiction which invites suspension
or reality.
d. Folklore-The songs, stories, myths, and proverbs of a people or “folk” as handed down by word of
mouth.
EXAMPLES
e. Horror-Fiction in which events evoke a feeling of dread in both the characters and
the reader.
f. Humor-Fiction full of fun, fancy, and excitement, meant to entertain; but can be
contained in all genres.
g. Legend-Story, sometimes of a national or folk hero, which has a basis in fact but
also includes imaginative material.
EXAMPLES
h. Mystery-Fiction dealing with the solution of a crime or the unraveling of secrets.
i. Mythology-Legend or traditional narrative often based in part on historical events
that reveals human behavior and natural phenomena by its symbolism; often
pertaining to the actions of the gods.
j. Short Story-Fiction of such brevity that it supports no subplots.
2) Poetry

is a literary art. It relies heavily on imagery,

figurative language, and sound effect devices.
There are three major types of poetry: Narrative
Poetry, Dramatic Poetry, and Lyric Poetry.
I. Narrative Poetry

Narrative poetry presents a story or account of events,

and must therefore encompass the novel's requirements
of plot, character, and action as well as the poetry
requirements of rhyme, stanzas, and meter.
A. Epic Poems

are long, serious poems that tell the story of a heroic figure.
Some of the most famous epic poems are the Iliad and the
Odyssey by Homer and the epic poem of The Song of
Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882 ).
Epic poetry in the Philippines
Epic poetry in the Philippines is based on oral tradition and includes lengthy narrative poems. These epics
were chanted or sung and passed down through generations before being written down. They revolve
around supernatural events and heroic deeds. Some well-known Philippine epics include:
• "Biag ni Lam-ang" from the Ilocos region
• "Hinilawod" from Panay Island
• "Darangen" from the Maranao people in Mindanao
• "Maragtas" from the Visayan region
B. Allegory
An Allegory is a narrative having a second meaning beneath the surface one -
a story with two meanings, a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning.
Examples of allegories are the Fairie Queen by Edmund Spenser, Pilgrim's
Progress by John Bunyan, Scarlet letter and Young Goodman Brown by
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Hester Prynne
Hester Prynne is the protagonist of “The Scarlet Letter,” a woman who is punished
for committing adultery and forced to wear a scarlet letter “A” on her chest. She is a
strong and independent woman who refuses to be shamed by the Puritan
community. Hester’s character represents the idea of individuality and the
importance of being true to oneself. The “A” on her chest is a symbol of her sin, but
it also represents her ability to stand up against the oppressive society and its
expectations.
C. Ballad

A ballad is a popular, short narrative poem that

typically has stanzas of two or four lines and often
has a refrain or recurring chorus. It is meant to be
sung.
II. Dramatic Poetry
A dramatic poem is a drama (or a play) whose entire script is written in
poetic verse rather than in prose. It usually portrays a story of life or
character and usually involves conflict and emotions. It includes a plot
that unfolds with action and dialogue. An example is “Barbara Fritchie” by
John Greenleaf Whittier and “Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast” by Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow.
III. Lyric Poetry
are the most frequently used poetry forms. Lyric Poetry
consists of any short poems in which a speaker expresses
intense personal emotion, a state of mind or a process of
perception, thought and feeling rather than describing a
narrative or dramatic situation.
In other words, lyric poetry does NOT tell a story which tells
what happened. Instead, the lyric poet addresses the reader
directly, portraying his or her own feeling. Originally, the term
"lyric" designated poems meant to be sung, but today the
term is sometimes used to refer to any short poem.
A. Sonnet

A sonnet (which means “little song”) is

a fourteen-line lyric poem usually
written in iambic pentameter.
IAMBIC PENTAMETER
Iamb: An iamb is a metrical unit that combines an unstressed syllable, and a stressed
(emphasized) syllable.
Iamb examples: a-BOVE, at-TEMPT, in-LOVE.
Penta: Greek word for “five.”
Meter: Rhythm structure that’s used to keep a pace.
Pentameter: A rhythm structure that’s used to keep a pace of five.
Twelfth Night (William Shakespeare)

If MU-sic BE the FOOD of LOVE, play ON;

Give ME ex-CESS of IT, that, SURF-ei-TING;
The AP-pe-TITE may SICK-en, AND so DIE.
B. Ode
An Ode is a long poem which is serious in nature and written
to a set structure. John Keats's "Ode on a Grecian Urn" and "Ode
To A Nightingale“-(Ode to a Nightingale’ was written in 1819,
and it is the longest one, with 8 stanzas of 10 lines each.)are
probably the most famous examples of this type of poem.
C. Elegy

An Elegy is a sad and thoughtful poem lamenting

the death of a person. An example of this type of
poem is Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country
Churchyard."
D. Dirge

A lyrical poem or song of lament for the death

of a particular person. A dirge is like an ELEGY
by it is less formal and is supposed to be sung.
E. Limerick
A limerick is a short, humorous, jingling poem. It has five anapestic lines. The
first, second- and fifth-lines rhyme, and the third- and fourth-lines rhyme.
The first, second, and fifth lines are seven to ten syllables, three of which are
stressed. The third and fourth lines are shorter with only five to seven
syllables, two of which are stressed. Edward Lear is famous for his Book of
Nonsense which included the poetry form of Limericks.
Poetry can be written
in several different
types of verse.
Free Verse
Free Verse is a form of Poetry composed of either rhymed or unrhymed lines
that have no set fixed metrical pattern. The early 20th-century poets were the
first to write what they called "free verse" which allowed them to break from
the formula and rigidity of traditional poetry. The poetry of Walt Whitman
provides many illustrations of Free Verse including his poem "Song of Myself".
Blank Verse
Blank Verse is Poetry that is written in unrhymed iambic
pentameter. Blank verse is often unobtrusive, and the iambic
pentameter form often resembles the rhythms of ordinary
speech. William Shakespeare wrote most of his plays in blank
verse.
Light Verse
A term applied t a great variety of poems that use an ordinary
speaking voice and a relaxed manner to treat their subjects gaily, or
playfully, or with a good - natured satire. Its subjects may be serious
or petty; the defining quality is the tone of voice used and the
attitude of the lyric or narrative speaker towards the subject.
3) Drama
is a literary work which is designed to be acted out on a stage
performed by actors before an audience.
Drama in literature refers to the performance of written dialogue and
stage action. It’s a literary genre that allows actors to act out a
writer’s words directly to an audience.
4) Nonfiction prose

refers to any kind of prose writing that is

based on facts, well written prose that deals
with real people, things, events, and places.
1. A speech

is communication through talking to an audience.

Writing a speech is very different from writing an
essay or a story, a proposal or even a letter.
2. Oratory

is a formal speech intended to inspire some action.

Carefully prepared and delivered in an impassioned
manner, the oration carries its greatest power in its
emotional appeal.
Major goals of nonfiction prose are truth in reporting
and logic in reasoning.
5) Creative nonfiction
is a genre of writing that uses literary styles and
techniques to create factually creative narratives. Journals
of expression, letters, magazine articles, and other expressions
of imagination can be legitimately either fiction or nonfiction
are examples of this kind.
1. Bibliography-

person. Biographies often talk about the lives of
well-known, important people such as world
leaders, scientists, movie stars, and athletes.
2. Autobiography

to the present using the first person “I". Some
people call this “artistic license”. Other call it “spin
doctoring”.
3. Memoir

an individual.
6. Diary

a single subject. Usually expressing a
personal or limited view of the topic
.
8. Literary Journalism

look outside the straightforward,
objective world that journalism creates.
9. Testimonio

is a Spanish term understood as “witness account”, embodies

a narrative research methodology rooted in Latin American
history. A first-person account by the person (narrator) who
has faced instances of social and political inequality.
10. Letter

 LESSON 2
Evaluating One’s Draft
Objectives

Identify the literary elements used in appreciate one’s effort in writing a draft evaluate other’s draft based on the clarity
one’s draft; through the findings of evaluators; and of ideas.
 Evaluation
the determination of the value, nature, character, or quality of something or someone.
literary devices
The following are the literary
devices which can be used in
evaluating one’s work.
1: Language
The most important literary element is language. Language is
defined as a system of communicating ideas and feelings
through signs, sounds, gestures, and/or marks. Language is
the way we share ideas with one another, whether it's
through speech, text, or even performance.
2: Plot

The plot is simply the

sequence of events in a story.
In other words, the plot is
what happens in a story.
3: Mood

The mood of a piece of literature is defined as the emotion or feeling that readers
get from reading the words on a page.

While a story can have an overarching mood, it is more likely that the mood
changes from scene to scene depending on what the writer is trying to convey.
Mood
Thinking about mood when you read literature is a great way to figure out how an author wants readers
to feel about certain ideas, messages, and themes. These lines from "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou are a
good example of how mood impacts an idea:
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise
4: Setting
• Setting is defined simply as the time and location in
which the story takes place. The setting is also the
background against which the action happens.
• The setting of a work is important because it helps
convey important information about the world that
impact other literary elements, like plot and theme.
5: Theme
All literary works have themes, or
central messages, that authors are
trying to convey. Sometimes theme is
described as the main idea of a work.
6: Point of View
Point of view is the position of the narrator in
relationship to the plot of a piece of literature.
In other words, point of view is the
perspective from which the story is told.
 7: Narrator
Like what was just mentioned, the narrator is
the person who's telling the story. All literature
has a narrator, even if that narrator isn't named
or an active part of the plot.
8: Conflict
A conflict is the central struggle that motivates the characters and leads to a
work's climax. Generally, conflict occurs between the protagonist, or hero, and
the antagonist, or villain. But it can also exist between secondary characters, man
and nature, social structures, or even between the hero and his own mind.
More importantly, conflict gives a story purpose and motivates a story's plot. Put
another way, conflict causes the protagonist to act. Sometimes these conflicts are
large in scale, like a war.
9: Characters
A piece of literature has to have at least one character, which can be
a person, an object, or an animal.
• The protagonist of a work is its main character.
• Antagonists, on the other hand, are the characters that oppose the
protagonist in some way.
Clarity of Ideas
Clarity means
making an idea clear and easier to understand. Though
conveying a clear idea is not an easy task, still one can make
it more manageable for the others to cope up simply by
taking some considerations. Evaluating other’s work needs not
only experience, but also familiarity on the criteria needed in
evaluating, its focus and standards.
ways on which one can evaluate the
clarity of an idea in a written text
1) Know what you want to say.
2) Know who you are talking to.
3) Define unfamiliar words.
4) Create a sentence outline.
5) Write one-sentence paragraphs.
6) Make your sentences short.
7) Do not use long words.
8) Control writing tools.
9) Be consistent.
 LESSON 3
Evaluating Other’s Draft Based on the Appropriate Use
of Element and Effective Combination of Ideas in the
Chosen Literary Element
Objectives
a. analyze and interpret some tips and rules of writing creative
nonfiction;
b. evaluate draft based on the appropriate use of element; and
c. determine the effectiveness of combining ideas in the chosen
literary element;
To evaluate written
creative nonfiction……
• writers must incorporate different creative writing
techniques and literary styles to convey truthful non-
fictional narratives. Writers must emphasize the story.
• the tone and often approach their subject matter through a
more emotional lens. That’s why in the previous lesson,
literary elements in writing for creative nonfiction were
introduced.
 The Four Golden Rules in
Writing Creative Nonfiction
• Make sure everything is
factually accurate.
Even though writing creative nonfiction
shares certain characteristics with writing
fiction, writers should make sure that
everything they write is factually accurate.
Essay
An Excerpt of This Is I Believe by Carlos P. Romulo
I was attached to General Macarthur’s staff and went with him first to Bataan and
later to Corregidor. In Corregidor, I was placed in charge of the broadcast called the Voice of
Freedom. The Japanese reacted violently to the broadcast. I learned that a prize had been put
on my head, and worse than they had gone after my wife and four sons who had been left
behind in the occupied territory. I suffered indescribable torment, worrying about my loved
ones. I wanted to go back to Manila at whatever cost. But I was ordered to proceed to
Australia on the eve of the fall of Bataan.
• Play with a person.
Oftentimes the point of view of narrative nonfiction is
dictated by the type of piece you are writing but
sometimes you have some wiggle room to experiment
with different techniques. Consider shifting from the
first person to the third person or vice versa, especially
when writing about your own life experiences.
An Excerpt of The Philippines A Century Hence by Carlos P.
Romulo (Translated by Charles E. Derbyshire) Part I
Scarcely had they been attached to the Spanish crown than they had sustained
with their blood and the efforts of their sons the wars and ambitions, and conquest of
the Spanish people, and in these struggles, in that terrible crisis when a people change
its form of government, its laws, usages, customs, religion, and beliefs; the Philippines
was depopulated, impoverished and retarded -- caught in their metamorphosis
without confidence in their past, without faith in their present and with no fond home
of the years to come.
• Follow emotion.
Creative nonfiction writers often listen to their emotions
and allow their feelings to affect the shape and tone of
their writing. One of the major differences between
different subsets of the nonfiction genre is the way that
emotion can play in a piece.
An Excerpt of My Husband’s Roommate by Carmen Guerrero-
Nakpil
He sits there and nods and smiles, laughing and commenting
every so often, playing the role of devoted listener. When I have run
out of breath and ingenuity, I will say casually, "tell me about
yourself before we met”. Invariably, he looks down at his toes,
gallantly indicating that life, before I came, was a drab affair and
nothing to talk about really.
• Incorporate literary
techniques.
Creative nonfiction uses techniques more often
seen in the world of fiction. Elements of fiction
that you might find in creative nonfiction include
extended metaphor, allegory, imagery, synecdoche,
and many more.
An Excerpt of I Am A Filipino by Carlos P. Romulo
The seed I bear within me is immortal. It is the mark of my manhood,
the symbol of dignity as a human being. Like the seeds that were once buried
in the tomb of Tutankhamen many thousand years ago, it shall grow and
flower and bear fruit again. It is the insigne of my race, and my generation is
but a stage in the unending search of my people for freedom and happiness.
Five Nonfiction Writing Techniques
That Will Captivate Readers
• Tell a memorable story.
Humans have been fascinated by stories
since the dawn of time. You must know
every single moment that happened in
the story.
• Bait your audience.
Does your first sentence make the reader want to read the
second? Does your second sentence evoke curiosity for the
third? One strategy is beginning with a little personal or
historical story. Take a look at the storytelling tips above and
make sure to always keep the reader wondering what’s next.
• Use emotional language.
Certain words like “confession” or “magic” are
emotionally charged powerful words that hit your
audience strongly. They make them feel your content.
Power words can evoke vibrant emotions, and emotion
will keep the reader’s eyes glued to every single word
of yours.
• Say it simply.
The content is top-notch, but it’s all packed into short
sentences and easily understandable vocabulary. Ideas
are broken down into detail. You see short paragraphs
and a lot of white space. All the components of tight,
simple writing are right before your eyes.
• Surprise the reader.
Do it better and include an unexpected twist or
turn when you can. It will keep things interesting
and fun for your audience. Why do we watch
dramas and why do we like our gifts wrapped
up? It’s for the kick of the surprise that awaits
us.
4RT QUARTER_FINALS LESSONS
Creative Non-Fiction
PEER CRTIQUE
Objectives

•2. construct an essay employing coherence and organization of
paragraphs, development of literary elements use of factual
information, and other qualities concerning form and content; and
•3. write a clear and coherent critique of your peer’s work.
constructive criticism
In this lesson….

you will learn how to write a mini critique of your peer’s

work based on coherence and organization of
paragraphs, development of literary elements use of factual
information, and other qualities concerning form and content.
What do you know about the word, “CRITIQUE”?
Brainstorm and provide ten (10) words/terms you can think that is connected or relative to the word critique.
Definition of CRITIQUE:

Now, make a complete statement as your own

definition of Critique using the brainstormed pool of
words. Write your answer on a ½ sheet of paper.
CRITIQUE
is a critical discussion or review that
describes, summarizes, analyzes, and
evaluates the strengths and weaknesses
of a work. It is written in paragraph
form.
PEER CRTIQUE/review
is the practice of
writers to review and
provide constructive
criticism of each
other’s works.
Goal
The goal of a peer
critique/review is to help
improve your classmate's paper
by pointing out strengths and
weaknesses that may not be
apparent to the author.
organization
✓is said that ideas are well-developed when there is a clear statement of purpose,
position, facts, examples, specific details, definitions, explanation, justifications, or
opposing viewpoints.
✓Organization is achieved when these ideas are logically and accurately arranged.
✓Organization means that your argument flows logically from one point to the
next.
Coherence
✓means that sentences are arranged in a logical manner, making
them easily understood by the reader.
✓Cohesion is the connection of ideas at sentence level.
✓Cohesion means that the elements of your paperwork together
smoothly and naturally.
structure
Structure is the arrangement or
organization of the text.
a. Chronological
order
an arrangement of events in a linear
fashion as they occurred in time.
b. Flashback
structure
beginning in a certain point of the story
then moving back in the past.
c. Parallel structure

a type of structure that has

several stories, running side by
side with occasional cross-
cutting or convergence.
 it involves pasting together of
d. Collage or
small fragments, which all
Mosaic
together build up the total
structure picture of what happened.
e. Question and Answer
structure

it allows the reader to hear the

subject’s voice without awkwardness of
having to repeat “he said” or “she said”
before or after every direct quotation.
f. Frame or The story-
within-a-story

it is a good structure to use when you

want to say two stories- say, a travel
narrative, where the actual physical journey
is paralleled by an inner journey.
 CREATIVE NONFICTION WRITING
must have 3 parts: Introduction, Body, and Ending/Conclusion.
The purpose of introduction
is to grab the readers’ attention and
compel them to read further. It should
have a strong and dramatic beginning.
a. Title

It is not necessarily written before the piece is written, but it is good to

have a working title to help you focus.
• Catchy and clever titles are advantage
• Titles which are too long are at disadvantage
• Titles should not be misleading.
• It should give the reader an idea of what to expect.
b. The first paragraph
First paragraphs lead the reader to reading the whole text.
Thus, it must catch attention, give the reader a hint of what
the subject is, set the tone, and guide the reader to what
comes next.
The key to good creative nonfiction is dramatic writing and
the key to good dramatic writing is action.

Literary Elements

refer to particular identifiable characteristics of a

whole text. They are not “used”, per se, by authors;
they represent the elements of storytelling which
are common to all literary and narrative forms.
For example
every story has a theme, every story has a setting, every story has
a conflict, every story is written from a particular point of view, etc.
To be discussed legitimately as part of a textual analysis, literary
elements must be specifically identified for that particular text.

reader, such as simile,

Ending a creative nonfiction piece
must be the logical conclusion of the flow of your text or of the development of your ideas. The reader must be
left with the impression that the subject was adequately discussed or presented.
Ways of ending:
• Dramatic denouement
• Note of quiet lyricism
• Moral lesson
• Anecdote
• Point made at the beginning of the essay
Peer Critique Guidelines
1. Be kind: Always treat others with
dignity and respect. This means we
never use words that are hurtful,
including sarcasm.
3. Be helpful: The goal is to positively
contribute to the individual or the group,
not to simply be heard. Echoing the
thoughts of others or cleverly pointing out
details that are irrelevant wastes time.
2. Be specific: Focus on particular strengths
and weaknesses, rather than making general
comments like “It’s good” or “I like it.”
Provide insight into why it is good or what,
specifically, you like about it.
4. Participate: Peer critique is a
process to support each other, and
your feedback is valued!
How to Write a Critique:
Suggested Critique Format
1. Summarize and interpret. At this first stage, you are not
judging the piece or offering suggestions. You are just telling
the author what you think it is about, and what you think it
is trying to do. This is important because it tells the author
how well he or she has succeeded in communicating. It also
tells the author if you have understood the piece correctly.
2. Say what you think is
working well.

Positive feedback can be as useful as criticism. Point

out the best parts of the piece and the strengths of
the author's writing. This can help the author write
more "best parts" in the future and develop his or
her individual talent.
3. Give constructive
criticism.

Make sure that criticism is respectful and

delivered in a form that allows the
author to make specific improvements.
Give examples from the piece whenever
possible to show your points.
 How to Write a Critique: Do's
and Don'ts

DO:
• Read the piece several times ahead of time
• Try to experience the piece as an "ordinary reader" before
you consider it as an author or editor
• Try to understand the author's goals
• Be specific in your feedback and provide relevant examples
Don’t

Impose your own aesthetics, Rewrite the story the way

tastes, or world view you would have written it

Offer criticisms that are too

Discourage the author general to help the author
make specific improvements
Don't expect your first critique to be
perfect. Do expect your ability to
critique it will improve with practice
over time, just like you're writing.
