Let’s have a glimpse of yesterday’s lesson.
How does the skill of enumerating details help to
understand/comprehend a selection heard or listened
to?
(By using enumeration, writers lay emphasis on certain ideas
to elaborate them further. In fact, enumeration easily creates an
impression on the minds of the readers. The details and listing
make it easy for them to convey the real message they want to
impart. However, if there is no use of enumeration in a text, it
might become difficult for the reader to get the true meanings of
ideas.)
 Read the excerpts from the selection, The Atlanta Compromise Address (by
Booker T. Washington) and give details how the author described the people.

“Cast down your bucket among these people who have, without
strikes and labour wars, tilled your fields, cleared your forests, built
your railroads and cities, and brought forth treasures from the
bowels of the earth, and helped make possible this magnificent
representation of the progress of the South. Casting down your
bucket among my people, helping and encouraging them as you are
doing on these grounds, and to education of head, hand, and heart,
you will find that they will buy your surplus land, make blossom the
waste places in your fields, and run your factories.”
Let’s focus our interests.
What information can we get from the following sources?

Presentation of Concept

• We use sources of information to be able to present

reports and other academic tasks. We could use
either primary or secondary sources.
• Primary Sources are original or authentic
accounts or recounts written, compiled, or captured
by actual witnesses of an event.
• Secondary Sources are written materials,
narratives, photographs or memorabilia about an
event written, compiled or captured by someone
who used the primary sources for their information.
Let’s practice.
Read the following scenarios. Write P in the box if it implies
primary source and S if secondary.
I was watching a sports channel and one of the
reporters said he had heard good reviews about a new
sports movie. When he talks about the movie, what is he?

My cousins and I found an old wedding dress in our

attic. Dad said it belonged to my grandmother. What is the
dress?

My Aunt has CDs of my great grandparents telling

stories about when they were kids. We love to listen to
theses at family reunions. What are we listening to?
 Let’s develop the concept.
