Introductory Message
For the teacher:
Welcome to the SHS CREATIVE WRITING MODULE!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators from public institutions in Department of Education Region V (Bicol)
to assist you, the teacher in helping the learners meet the standards set by the
K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this
also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking
into consideration their needs and circumstances.
As a teacher, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:
Welcome to the SHS CREATIVE WRITING MODULE!
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and
time. You will be enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while
being an active learner and at the same time an adventurer. Diego your
learning companion is with you as you embark in this learning journey. You will
transport in the different realms to learn and perform noteworthy tasks.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do
not hesitate to consult your teacher. Always bear in mind that you are not
alone.
We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful
learning and gain a deep understanding of the relevant competencies. More
so, use your notebook or a separate sheet of paper in noting significant details
and pieces of information in the different modules and even in accomplishing
the tasks given to you. You can do it!

“I am a person of craft, excellence, and versatility. I write to express and
create my thought’s content; no matter the medium, ink, or paper I write on. I
am the master of my work.”
You click the mouse to the next page. You have just started reading The
Creative Writer, an autobiographic novel written by Everyone. No one knows
this author’s identity, yet countless readers are drawn to his or her mystery and
style, including you.
The laptop’s lights flicker, almost glitching. The pointer goes havoc,
scrolling to no direction and clicking everywhere. You slam the mouse to the
table, as if it will stop the peculiarity happening. “Technology,” you sighed.
The lights to your house flicker as if sending you a code of warning.
Everything goes pitch-black. You feel a gust of wind barge in your door and
smash through your windows. Surprised, you close your eyes.
You open your eyes and find yourself in what seems to be a two-way
hall. Its glass walls reveal what is on the other side – something that is eerily
familiar. It is your room! You immediately recall how you ended up in this bizarre
place. The novel. The laptop’s lights. The pointer. The mouse. The lights. The
darkness. The wind.
You dumbfoundingly realize where you are – inside your laptop, within
The Creative Writer’s pages! How will you get out?
Out of nowhere, a squeaky voice is heard. “Come! Follow me!”
You do as the voice says, and in you go to an unknown field of codes,
words, and symbols. “I am Diego. You are inside The Creative Writer.” You study
Diego’s form. He almost resembles a mouse, except that his tail is like an
electric wire and his big eyes seem like a scroll wheel. He explains that he can
turn into any form you want him to be, but his true form is that of what
resembles him – a mouse.
Diego explains that Everyone has waited a long time for the chosen one
to immerse into this world and make the Creative Footprint which will continue
the cycle of art and expression. You must finish this novel and go through each
chapter. Each chapter has specific skills and activities that will lead you to the
Learning Challenge. You must complete them all, store them inside your
Creative Footprint, and present them to Everyone for you to return.
4
As you prepare your journey, Diego will be guiding you within The
Creative Writer’s pages, going chapter to chapter and exploring the wonder
of the craft. In this chapter you will set-up your Digital Creative Writing portfolio
that will serve as your Creative Footprint by the end of this novel so that you
can return home. You will create an online portfolio of the outputs produced
such as poetry, fiction, script, etc. applying ICT skills/any appropriate
multimedia forms.
Hi! It is me again, Diego. Being the chosen one, you must be familiar with
these terms that will lead you to your Creative Footprint that Everyone looks
forward to!
Showcase Portfolio – The showcase portfolio is used to demonstrate the
highest level of achievement attained by a learner. Collecting items for
this portfolio is a way of saying “Here's who I am. Here is what I can do.”
Assessment Portfolio - The assessment portfolio documents what a
student has learned. It contains reflections of each output that will focus
on how they were able to demonstrate their mastery of the topic and its
impact to them.
Magnum Opus - a large and important work of art, music, or literature,
especially one regarded as the most important work of an artist or writer.
This portfolio will be your magnum opus!
5
There are 15 words which are
connected
to
the
“powerpacked” application which you
will use in your Creative Footprint. I
know you are still confused but I,
Diego, am here to help you
throughout. Trust me, okay? Can
you track and write them down?
Check your answers found on page ____.
Great! Were you able to find all the words?
• If you found 13-15 words, nice job! You are an expert word tracker.
• If you were able to locate 10-12 words, good! You have a keen eye.
• If you found 9 words below, better find a tool to help you magnify and
practice more, okay? Go back to the track again and locate more
words.
We are set! You are now ready to learn how to start making your Creative
Footprint. You will now know how significant your tracked words will be in this
chapter.
WHY MICROSOFT POWERPOINT?
Why is this the first task you must accomplish in this subject? We are
beginning with our end goal in sight: for each learning challenge and task you
create in the succeeding modules, think of it as an added treasure to your
creative chest of masterpieces – your magnum opus.
6
I get it. When you hear MS PowerPoint, the next thing that comes to your
mind are slides. Meetings. Presentations. Lectures. Let me tell you, that is not all
there is to this powerful (I literally mean it) application.
A portfolio is a collection of your work, the representation of what you've
accomplished in your field. In this subject, you will be producing a combination
of Assessment and Showcase portfolio. PowerPoint is useful in collecting visual
portfolio media in a format that can be shared easily. If your portfolio consists
of pictures, video, or audio clips then making a portfolio in PowerPoint can
showcase your skills.
Using PowerPoint Presentations as a Digital Portfolio
Developed by Microsoft, PowerPoint is a commercial Presentation
application which is a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Through the use of
animation, graphics and text, this Presentation software package allows the
user to make informational and dynamic slides. If an artist or designer wants
to create a polished electronic portfolio, then with the help of PowerPoint, they
can showcase their work by making slides which includes multiple graphics
and visual image.
In your case as a writer, you can add videos, pictures, and animations
that can best interpret your work. Also, you can BE there as you present your
output because you can audio recordings or narrations. You can read your
work, and even present an audio play using your script!
SETTING UP YOUR DIGITAL PORTFOLIO
Before we go into the specifics of using your Microsoft PowerPoint in creating
your portfolio, let us first identify the MS Office you have installed in your system.
Please open your MS PowerPoint application and check:
MS PowerPoint 2007
MS PowerPoint 2010
7
MS PowerPoint 2016
MS PowerPoint 2013
MS PowerPoint 2019
(Office 365)
What version do you have? Now that you have identified your MS
PowerPoint system, we will now start setting up your Creative Writing Portfolio!
I suggest that it is best to have your MS PowerPoint software open as you read
the next input I will share so that you can apply it at the same time. In the next
pages, the discussions are adapted to the specific version of MS PowerPoint
you have installed, that is why it is important that you have identified what is
yours.
Adjusting your Page Orientation
PowerPoint slides are automatically set up in landscape (horizontal)
layout
layout
, but you can change the slide orientation to portrait (vertical)
.
A. For Office 2007-2010:
1. On the Design tab, in the Page Setup group, click Slide Orientation.
2. Click Portrait or Landscape.
8
B. Newer Versions:
1. Select
the Design tab:
2. Near the right end, select Slide Size, and
then click Custom Slide Size.
3. In the Slide Size dialog box, select Portrait,
then select OK.
4. In the next dialog box, you can

Adjusting your Screen Size
Since this a portfolio, we need to set up your screen size into paper size.
Here is how we do it:
9
A. For Office 2007-2010:
1. Select the Design tab of the toolbar ribbon.
2. Select Page Setup
on the left end of the
toolbar.
3. In the Page Setup dialog box, under Slides sized for,
choose
the
predefined
size
you
want,
or
choose Custom and specify the dimensions you want.
4. Click OK.
When PowerPoint is unable to automatically scale your content, it will prompt
you with two options:
1. Maximize: Select this option to increase the
size of your slide content when you are
scaling to a larger slide size. Choosing this
option could result in your content not fitting
on the slide.
2. Ensure Fit: Select this option to decrease the
size of your content when scaling to a
smaller slide size. This could make your
content appear smaller, but you’ll be able
to see all content on your slide.
B.
1.
2.
3.
Newer Versions:
Select the Design tab of the toolbar ribbon.
Select Slide Size near the far right end of the toolbar.
Select Standard (4:3 aspect ratio) or Widescreen (16:9)
or Custom Slide Size.
ADDING CONTENT TO YOUR DIGITAL PORTFOLIO
(Text, Images, Animations)
Now that you have set-up your page orientation and screen size, let us now
add content to your portfolio! Oh, I get goosebumps from the excitement I
have just thinking how impressive and excellent your Creative Footprint will
become!

Adding Text
Your portfolio will showcase the essays, poems, stories, scripts you have
created as a Learning Challenge in the modules to come. It is important that we
go over the ways you can add texts.
▪
▪
▪
▪
A. Add text to a placeholder
To add text to a text placeholder on a slide, do the following:
Click inside the placeholder, and then type or paste the text.
Note: If your text exceeds the size of the placeholder,
PowerPoint reduces the font size and line spacing
incrementally as you type to make the text fit.
In the image, the dotted border represents the
placeholder that contains the title text for the slide.
Add text to a text box
To add text to a text box that anyone can edit, in Normal view, click
inside the text box, and then type or paste the text.
To add text to a text box that is contain-permanent and un-editable,
in Slide Master view, click inside the text box, and then type or paste the
text.
Use text boxes to place text anywhere on a slide, such as outside a text
placeholder. For example, to add a caption to a picture, create a text
box and position it near the picture.
Note: When you add a text box in Normal view, the text is editable by
anyone. When you add a text box in Slide Master view, the text you add
to it will become permanent and un-editable outside the Slide Master.
Add text that is part of a shape
Shapes such as squares, circles, callout balloons, and block arrows can
contain text. When you type text into a shape, the text attaches to the
shape and moves and rotates with it.
To add text that becomes part of a shape, select the shape, and then
type or paste the text.
Add text that is separate of a shape
A text box is handy if you want to add text to a shape, but you don't
want the text to attach to the shape. You can add a border, fill, shadow,
or three-dimensional (3-D) effect to text in a text box.
11
▪
To add text that moves independently of a shape, add a text box, and
then type or paste the text.
Add a text box
a. On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Text Box.
Note: If you are using an East Asian language, from the Text Box dropdown menu, click either Horizontal or Vertical alignment.
b. Click the slide, and then drag the pointer to draw the text box.
Adding Images
To make your work more appealing and symbolic, you can add images
that will add meaning and interpretation to your work. You can even make it
more YOU-nique by adding your original artworks or graphics.
Insert a picture from your computer on your slide
1. Click where you want to insert the picture
on the slide.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Images group,
click Pictures.
3. In the dialog box that opens, browse to the
picture that you want to insert, click that
picture, and then click Insert.
Tip: If you want to insert multiple pictures at the same time, press and
hold the Ctrl key while you select all the pictures you want to insert.
Insert a picture from the web on your slide
1. Click where you want to insert the
picture on the slide.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Images group,
click Online Pictures.
3. (PowerPoint 2013) In the Bing Image
Search box, type what you are
searching for, and press Enter.
Or (Newer versions) Ensure Bing is showing on the left in the drop-down
list of sources to search. In the box, type what you are searching for, and
press Enter.
Use the Size, Type, Color, Layout, and licensing filters to adjust the results
according to your preferences.
4. Click the picture you want to insert, and click Insert.
12
Tip: After you insert a picture, you can change its size and position. To do
so, right-click the picture, and click Format Picture. You can then use
the Format Picture tools that are on the right of your slide.
Adding Animation to Texts or Objects inside your Digital
Portfolio
The added feature your digital portfolio has when created with MS PowerPoint
is that it has the power to make the texts and objects come to life with

Adding Videos to your Portfolio
Speaking about creating a connection with your reader in your portfolio,
what better way is there than to add a video?
Depending on the version of PowerPoint that you're
using, you can insert an embedded video (the
default behavior) or link to a video file stored on your
computer.
▪ Inserting an embedded video is convenient, but it
increases the size of your presentation.
▪ A linked video keeps your presentation file smaller, but
links can break. We recommend storing presentations and linked
videos in the same folder.
A. For Office 2010
In PowerPoint 2010, we recommend that you use .wmv files.
Embed a video stored on your PC
1. In Normal view, click the slide in which you want to embed the
video.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Media group, click the arrow
under Video.
20
3. Select Video from file, and then browse to the location of your
video, and select it.
4. On the Insert button, click the down arrow, and then click Insert.
5.
Link to a video stored on your PC
To help prevent broken links, we
recommend copying the video into the same
folder as your presentation, and then linking to
it there.
1. On the Slides tab in Normal view, click
the slide to which you want to add a
video or animated GIF file.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Media group, click the arrow
under Video.
3. Select Video from file, and then browse to the location of your
video, and select it.
4. On the Insert button, click the down arrow, and then click Link to
file.
Find out where a linked video is stored
If there is already a video on a slide and you want to know where
it's stored, go to File > Info. Under Optimize Media Compatibility, there
will be information about all media files in the presentation—whether
they are linked or embedded in the file. If there are any linked videos,
PowerPoint gives you a View Links hyperlink. Click it to open a dialog box
that shows the storage location of any linked files.
Preview a video
When a video is selected on a slide, a toolbar appears below the
video that has a play/pause button, a progress bar, incremental
forward/backward buttons, a timer, and a volume control. Click
the Play button at the left of that toolbar to preview the video.
Play a video automatically or when clicked
By default, in Slide Show, the video plays when it is clicked. But if you
prefer, you can make the video start automatically as soon as it appears
onscreen:
1. Select the video frame.
21
2. On the PowerPoint ribbon, on the Video Tools Playback tab, open
the Start list and choose Automatically:
▪
For Office 2013

When a video is selected on a slide, a toolbar appears below the
video that has a play/pause button, a progress bar, incremental
forward/backward buttons, a timer, and a volume control. Click
the Play button at the left of that toolbar to preview the video.
Play a video automatically or when clicked
By default, in Slide Show, the video plays when it is clicked. But if
you prefer, you can make the video start automatically as soon as it
appears onscreen:
1. Select the video frame.
2. On the PowerPoint ribbon, on the Video Tools Playback tab, open
the Start list and choose Automatically:

FINAL TOUCHES TO YOUR DIGITAL PORTFOLIO
Add, Change or Remove Transitions in your Page
Do you want your portfolio pages to flip like a book? Or to present a
video with a curtain call in the start? Page transitions are the best effect for this.
A slide transition is the visual effect that occurs when you move from one
slide to the next during a presentation. You can control the speed, add
sound, and customize the look of transition effects.
25
Add slide transitions to bring your presentation to life
1. Select the slide you want to add a transition to.
2. Select the Transitions tab and choose a transition. Select a
transition to see a preview.
3. Select Effect Options to choose the direction and nature of the
transition.
4. Select Preview to see what the transition looks like.
To remove a transition, select Transitions > None.

Saving your PowerPoint Portfolio as a PowerPoint Show
Why PPT Show? Saving your output as this file type lets the viewer
automatically open the show without going into edit mode. Save your
PowerPoint presentation as a PowerPoint Show (a .ppsx file) so it automatically
starts the slide show when the file is opened. Once saved as a PPT Show, the
viewer cannot edit your portfolio, and it is entirely for viewing purposes only.
A. For Office 2010-2013
1. In PowerPoint, click File > Save as.
2. Browse to the folder where you want to save
your presentation.
3. In the File name box, type a name for your
presentation.
4. Under Save as type, select PowerPoint Show.
5. The file is saved as a .ppsx file. Now, when
someone double-clicks it in File Explorer (or
Windows Explorer), it'll open as a slide show.
Edit a .ppsx file
1. In PowerPoint, click File > Open.
2. Browse to the .ppsx file, and open it.
B. For Newer Versions
1. Select File > Save as (or Save a Copy).
2. Click More options.
3. Browse to the folder where you want to save your presentation.
26
4. In the File name box, type a name for your presentation.
5. Under Save as type, select PowerPoint Show.
The file is saved as a .ppsx file. When the file is double-clicked, it
opens as a slide show.
Every day is an open space. A blank page. We could shape a whole
world into that space, or even fit several worlds, their latitudes and
longitudes, the parallel universes. Equally, we could place very few words
there, but just enough of them to show a presence of the life of language.
If we can think of the page as an open space, even as a space in which
to play, we will understand that it is also Space itself. By choosing to act,
by writing on that page, we are creating another version of time; we are
playing out a new version of existence, of life even. We are creating an
entirely fresh piece of space-time, and another version of you.
Let your digital portfolio be a representation of yourself, your voice,
your identity. Let your portfolio reveal the writer in you, and with MS
PowerPoint, it has become much easier than you think.

THE CREATIVE FOOTPRINT: PRODUCING YOUR PORTFOLIO
This will be the pinnacle. Your Creative Footprint will be the key for you to return.
Here, you will proudly show to the Everyone how you have evolved as a writer
of poetry, prose, and fiction once you have finished The Creative Writer. You
will be crafting your legacy in this voyage; you will be leaving your artistic
legacy. MS PowerPoint will help you realize this goal.
Task:
1. Compile all the Learning Challenge outputs you will be making for every
module and present them in your digital portfolio using MS PowerPoint.
(Your subject teacher may be adding more outputs to compile, so
please coordinate closely with him/her).
2. You are not restricted as to how you want to present your works. You
can present it by chapter, you can disarrange the order and present
how they are connected to each other, or whatever your imagination
and craft takes you. Use the outline we previously made to guide you.
However, for the sake of uniformity, follow the parts below:
a. Portfolio Title
b. About the Title
c. Introduction
d. Table of Contents
e. Content Proper
▪ Important: You are making a combination of the
Showcase and Assessment Portfolio. Each Learning
Challenge piece must have a simple reflection about the
learning experience, writing process, and the actual
output you made.
f. About the Writer
3. Be guided with the dimensions of the portfolio:
a. Orientation: Portrait
b. Screen size: Wide Screen
4. Save the file as MS PowerPoint Show (.ppsx)
5. Keep in touch with your subject teacher about the due date of your
digital portfolio. By the end of the semester.
31
Reminder: If it is not within your resources to create a portfolio digitally, do not
worry! You can still make a hard copy of your portfolio (hand-written or
printed). Contact your subject teacher for more instructions and guidance
about this.
32
As creative writers, technology is another open space for the
creation and performance of our writing. We go beyond the paper and
transfer it to another, going to digital medium.
In the past centuries, writers compile and present their magnum
opus through a book, a pamphlet, or a folio. With the advancement of
technology, we evolved and added various ways of expressing our
creative footprints, producing paragons or model of ourselves, embodied
in our writing.
Think of an empty page as open space. It possesses no dimension;
human time makes no claim. Everything is possible, at this point endlessly
possible. Anything can grow in it. Anybody, real or imaginary, can travel
there, stay put, or move on. There is no constraint, except the honesty of
the writer and the scope of imagination – qualities with which we are born
and characteristics that we can develop. Writers are born and made.
Through your Digital Portfolio, Creative Writing throws open doors to
the world, and even to other worlds within us and beyond our own. It lets
in the light of language. Without telling us what to think, it makes us see
and hear each other. We understand ourselves better by writing with light.
Go and open your door.
Well done! You have finished your initial task to fuel your adventure in
the different worlds. Put in mind the Learning Challenges you have to
accomplish in each module and add them to your Creative Footprint. I know
everyone is eager to meet you.
Off to the realms.
