WEEK 2
GLADYS DC. DIAMANTE
After going through this lesson, you
are expected to:
●distinguish text types according to
purpose and features: enumeration
and time order.
 Texts are written for a variety
of purposes, using different forms
and standards of composition.
These forms of writing are known
as text types.
The phrase “Text type” is a way
of classifying and defining
different types of language
interaction, both spoken and
written. It refers to the purpose of
a text and the way it is written.
Here are some examples of
different text types:
● Classification
● Explanation
● Enumeration
● Time order
Enumeration–An enumeration paragraph
or text lists the kinds, characters, classes,
types, parts ways, and groups of a thing
or subject. Transition/signal words used
to show enumeration are the following, in
many ways, such as, first or one, second,
or next and so on.
 The earth surface is constantly
changing through slow processes that we
don’t usually see. One is erosion. This
has worn away rocks and mountains
over millions of years, caused by air,
water and wind. Another change is
caused by earthquakes that originate
deep inside the planet.
More sudden and violent than erosion,
an earthquake results when strains
between Earth’s plates produce shock
waves. And the third process results
when molten rock-forming material
called lava, escapes onto the surface
through gaps on the crust. What we
experience is volcanic eruption.
Time order–A process or how the-to text
gives explanations or directions. Each
sentence tells the next step in carrying out a
process or in getting from one place to
another. Transitional words that may be used
to show order of steps include first, second,
third, then, before, after, during, meanwhile,
finally etc.
 How to Purify Cloudy Water
Boiling is perhaps the safest way
to purify the cloudy water. You will
need a boiling pot, fire, salt, a coffee
filter or cloth, charcoal, and cotton.
First, prefilter the cloudy water with
a cotton filter or folded cloth.
 Then, boil the filtered water. Add
a small amount of salt to improve the
taste of the water as it is boiling. If
you are above 2000 feet altitude, boil
for three minutes. Next, let the water
cool.
 Meanwhile, make a cotton and
charcoal filter by crushing the
charcoal and putting it in the cotton
as trap. This will remove impurities
and still some bad taste from the
boiled water. Finally, filter the boiled
water through the cotton trap.
Learning Task 1
A. Directions: For your first activity, read the
text below and answer the following questions.
Do this in your notebook.
 The Hertzprung-Russell Diagram shows the
three very different types of stars. The first type
is called the Main Sequence which includes the
sun. These stars are fueled by nuclear fusion,
converting hydrogen into helium. The hotter
they are, the brighter they become. They last
for about five billion years.
The second type includes the supergiant. As they reach
old age, they deplete their hydrogen supply. Their core
contracts as their outer layers expand. Eventually, they
will explode becoming nebula or supernova, then white
dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. Third, smaller
stars consequently become white dwarfs, shrinking, and
depleting their nuclear fuels, finally becoming cold,
dark, black dwarfs.
Answer the following questions:
1. What is the paragraph about?
2. What things are enumerated to show the
different types of stars?
3. What words or phrases signal the enumeration
or listing?
A. Directions: Go back to the selection above and
complete the graphic organizer below

Directions: Read the text. Then complete the
organizer that follow. Do this in your notebook.
 As a grade five pupil, Emmanuel was already self-
motivated and self-directed in many ways. He
would assist his mother in some household chores
and some errands. On days when there would be no
classes, he would go with his father in the farm and
would pasture the carabao to the fields. On
weekdays, he would burn the midnight oil working
on his assignments and studying his lessons.

Learning Task 3
Directions: Read the text below and answer the
following questions. Do this in your notebook.
 How to Mold a Sculpture
First, clean the clay by getting rid of the bits of
sand and dirt from it. Then add or remove water
from the clay if necessary. If the clay is too wet, it
will not hold a shape. And if it is too dry, it will
not be flexible enough to mold. Next begin to
shape the clay into something- with your bare
hands or with tools.
Roll and push clay into shapes or pull off and stick back
on different places. After the clay has been molded, put
it into a kind of oven to be fired. Then, build a fire. As
the fire slowly gets hotter and hotter, water is baked out
of the clay. Sooner or later, the clay dries up and
becomes hard with a new shape. Remove it from the
oven and let it cool. Afterwards, you may paint it or put
some designs of your choice on it.
Answer the following questions:
1. What is the text about?
2. How many steps in the process are given?
3. What are those steps?
4. What words are used to introduce the steps?
5. What type of text is the example above?
Learning Task 4
Directions: Read the text below. Write numbers
to order the sentences correctly. Do this in your
notebook.
 One afternoon, after classes, Emmanuel’s class adviser
gave him an envelope for his parents. He immediately went
home and handed the envelope to his mother. Hurriedly, his
mother opened and then read the letter informing them on
Emmanuel’s chance to enjoy a scholarship next school year
in one of the prestigious schools in their town. “At last, the
fruits of a long arduous labor since you were young are now
being harvested. Now you are recognized and awarded this
scholarship,” his mother announced with joy.

Directions: Read the text and enumerate your
answers. Do this in your notebook.
Whole year-round typhoons occur. It is always good to
prepare for the coming of any typhoon as predicted. First,
and foremost, inspect your house if necessary, repair or
fixing is needed. With this, cleaning up the house drainage
system is a must to avoid clogging up. Next, store an
adequate supply of food and water good for a few days
everything in the house should be put in an elevated
position, especially those items that generate electricity.
Water should not penetrate them in case floodwater rushes
into your house. Lastly, always keep flashlights, candles,
batteries and first aid supplies.
Enumerate the things that we need to do/prepare
for the coming of typhoon.

Directions: Read the following paragraphs.
Distinguish and write the type for each text.
A – Enumeration Text Type
B – Time Order Text Type
1 ____ Here is a fast and easy recipe for a special mashed sweet
potato treat that serves two people. You begin with peeling two
large potatoes and cooking them in a pot of boiling water. When a
fork or knife inserted into them pulls out easily, you will know
they are done. Then take them from the pot and drain them well.
Next, place them in a large mixing bowl and add two tablespoons
of butter. Mash with a potato masher until the lumps are gone.
Meanwhile, in a skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter and add a
bunch of chopped green onions. Cook them for about one minute
and mix with the mash. Then add more butter if desired. Serve
and eat!
2. ____ Digestive process begins when food enters the mouth. After
the mouth chews and swallows the food, it goes to the throat and
then travels to the esophagus or swallowing tube. Next the
esophagus, through a series of contractions called peristalsis
delivers the food to the stomach which acts as the storage tank. The
stomach contains hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes which
when mix with the food, the food begins to break down into smaller
molecules. Then the food enters the small intestine where in 90% of
the food nutrients have been extracted here and absorbed by the
body. The remaining goes to the large intestine as waste product.
Finally, this waste product is excreted from the body as a solid
matter called stool.
3. ____ The atmosphere is composed of different levels.
The first level, called troposphere, is the nearest to Earth,
about 11km thick. Most clouds and weather are found in
this layer. Next is the stratosphere which is about 11-48km
above the Earth’s surface. In it is the ozone layer which
absorbs most of the harmful ultraviolet radiation from
the Sun. The mesosphere is above the stratosphere in
which the atmosphere is very rarefied, and the
temperature decreases with altitude. The fourth layer is
the thermosphere which starts at about 55km.
The temperature is so hot that it cannot be measured by a
thermometer. Temperature may be thousands of degrees
high. The second to the last is the exosphere, the region
beyond the thermosphere. Finally, the ionosphere
overlaps the other layers from above the Earth. The air
id ionized by the Sun’s ultraviolet rays. These ionized
layers affect the transmittance and reflectance of radio
waves. All in all, there are six levels of the Earth
atmosphere.
