Points to Remember
A. Right Write!
Review the different sections needed to write a Research Report.
Writing the Introduction
Let us first start with the first goal by reviewing the essential parts of the
introduction:
A. Brief Background: Provide an overview of the scope of the research.
B. Objectives of the Study: Articulate what you intend to find out or achieve in the
study. Some researchers use research questions that they intend to address in the
report. Others articulate the objectives of the study. Either way, research questions
or objectives are tools to guide readers in knowing the direction of the research.
C. Significance of the Study: Discuss the relevance of the study to your intended
audience. Cite the specific benefits that they can get from the findings of the
research.
D. Literature review: Discuss previous studies done on the chosen topic. Relate how
your research relates to these previous researches.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
4
In writing the introduction, you also have to think of catchy devices or hooks
that would get the interest of your readers. This can be done through the use of questions,
a direct quotation, a startling fact, or a vivid description.
Writing the Body
The body of research reports contains the substantial amount of information that
needs to be clearly and accurately presented and analyzed. The data that will be
presented in this section are meant to address the research questions or objectives. In
presenting the gathered information you can use pie charts, graphs, or tables. Note that
you must introduce each illustration appropriately followed by an adequate discussion
of the data presented.
Moreover, you need to use related studies to support or refute the findings. You
can do this by incorporating the notes (summary, quote, paraphrase) that you have
gathered in the pre-writing phase. Remember to cite your sources using recommended
system of documentation. Also, introduce and explain the direct quotation, paraphrase,
or summary that you have incorporated in the discussions.
Writing the Conclusion
The conclusion is important in bringing home the highlights of the research
paper. A well-written conclusion allows readers to take on a new perspective about the
thesis. Moreover, it provides readers with recommendations that can be explored
concerning the topic.
B. Quest in Advocacy
Using the research writing process, you can investigate a social issue, discuss
your findings, and propose solutions and options to address the issue. You can extend
advocacy of your case through a presentation. Consider the points below:
Introduction
•
•
•
•
Start with the big idea.
Think of a device that will get the attention and interest of the audience.
Highlight the significance of your research by relating your topic to your
audience.
Discuss the significance of the research and literature review.
Body
•
•
Outline the findings of the research.
Use graphs and illustrations to forward your points clearly.
Conclusion
•
Provide options or recommendations concerning the issue you have researched.
Highlight your call to action. Talk about specific steps that your audience can
take in addressing the issue locally or globally.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
Parts and Features of an Argumentative Essay
Background Information for Learners
In your previous grade levels, you have been taught of different types of essays and how
to write them. In this lesson, you will learn more on argumentative essay, its parts and its
features.
Argumentative essay
Argumentative essay is a type of formal essay that tries to change the reader’s mind
by convincing the reader to agree with the writer’s point of view about a certain issue. It
uses evidence and facts to support the claim that the author makes. Thus, the pros and cons
are given to both sides so that the reader can weigh and decide on the stand that s/he is going
to take.
Argumentative Essay vs. Persuasive Essay
Argumentative essay asks you to give the facts straight. The facts and evidence to be
included in your argument should be from credible sources. Evidence can be in the form of
scientific data, results from researches or statistics.
Persuasive essay asks you to convince the reader with your beliefs using your own
words. Your ideas and opinions should stir up the emotion of your reader. In this type of
essay, the use of persuasive techniques should be employed.
Parts of an Argumentative Essay
Generally, all essays have three parts namely introduction, body, and conclusion.
The introduction is the first paragraph of your essay. This contains the general
statement and thesis statement of your essay. General statements are few sentences about
the subject of your essay to catch the attention of your reader while a thesis statement
contains your main point about the subject.
The body contains the supporting details of your main idea. This consists of one or
more paragraphs following the introduction. Each paragraph supports the main idea of your
essay by breaking it down into smaller ideas or sub- topics.
The conclusion is the last paragraph in the essay. It completes the essay by
summarizing the most important ideas.
An argumentative essay has these parts. However, the following should be observed
when writing the said parts.
The introduction of your argumentative essay should contain a general statement and
a thesis statement. The thesis statement is your claim as a writer.
🧐Add-on to Learning. A claim is your opinion or your position about the issue
that you are talking about.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
9
The body of your essay should include 1 -3 reasons about your claim. Reasons should
be backed up by evidence like facts including scientific data and statistics. Each reason will
be one paragraph each.
The conclusion part of your essay should summarize and review your main points and
let your reader think about your claim.
Specifically, argumentative essay has two more parts. These are the:
Counterclaim- this is a claim or a reason that your reader might bring up to disagree
with your position.
🧐Add-on to Learning. Counterclaim is also called as counter-argument.
Rebuttal- this follows the counterclaim. This is your response to the counterclaim.
This negates or disagrees with the counterclaim given. In this part, you should have
the “last word” by giving a concrete piece of evidence to strengthen your claim.
Language Features of an Argumentative Text
I. Uses of Modals
Modals are used as auxiliary or helping verbs with special functions.
The following are examples of modals which you can use in strengthening your positions/
arguments when making an argumentative text.
Should- used for advice and recommendations.
Example: You should observe proper personal hygiene in order to avoid from getting
sick.
Must – used for orders, suggestions, required action and very strong advice.
Example: You must wear a face mask whenever you are going to go out from
your house.
May- suggests that something is possible.
Example: You may become what you wish to be if you will work for it.
Might- suggests a weaker possibility.
Example: Some of your decisions might affect your future.
Will- express willingness and intentions. It is also use to announce a decision at the moment
that one makes it.
Example: Being obedient and responsible towards your actions will help you
become successful someday.
🧐Add-on to Learning. Modal adverbs are also used to add conviction to your claim.
Examples of modal adverbs are certainly, absolutely, probably, usually and definitely.
II. Use of Conjunctions or Connectives
Conjunction is a word used to connect other words, group of words or ideas. It also called as
connectives. Examples of connectives are because, although, on the other hand, therefore, in
order that, and as much as.
III. Use of Evaluative Language
Implicit language- this kind of evaluative language is used when the writer wants to add
effect to the purpose of his writing by not directly stating his aim but can be understood by
the reader.
Explicit language- this kind of evaluative language is used when the writer wants to explain
and describe things in a detailed manner by directly stating his purpose of writing.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.

Take a look at the parts of an argumentative essay below:
Title: Are you Distracted by Technology?
This part is the Introduction of an essay
According to an article published by Daily Mail, an average person spends 8 hours
and 41 minutes on electronic devices. That period of time surpasses the time an average
person spends sleeping for 20 minutes. There is no doubt in the fact that people are getting
more dependent on technology as time goes by. The only question is: are we too distracted
by it?
Author’s Claim
Technology can be a distraction only when people fail to use it responsibly. When
a responsible individual uses smartphones, tablets, laptops and other devices to get access
to knowledge, contacts and truthful information, technology serves as the most useful tool
for elevating their quality of life.
Body of the Essay
Technology takes us to places most of us never get to see, it helps us find out every
piece of information we need, and it enables us to communicate with any person, regardless
of their location. A report from a survey conducted by Pew Research Center showed that
62% of smartphone owners in the U.S. have used their devices to find information about
health conditions; 57% relied on their phones to do online banking; and 30% of them have
taken a class or accessed educational content via smartphone during 2015.
Counterclaim
The biggest argument against the statement that technology can be beneficial for
everyone is the fact that it can be addictive. Children and teenagers, who seem to be
absorbed by games, are the most commonly used example that shows how distorted modern
values are. The Internet is presented as one of the greatest problems of today's youth. Online
media proved to be an extremely powerful weapon to control the population and turn young
people into slaves of consumerism. Websites and online magazines that aim towards
teenagers are flooded with topics that revolve around makeup, fitness, fashion models,
movie stars, and many more.
Rebuttal
The way we use contemporary technology is not determined by the content that's
being served online, but by our own character. If some people use Facebook as a dating
service, a distraction or a way to promote themselves, we cannot blame the creator of this
platform for their inability to gain knowledge, meaningful connections, and other benefits
from modern technology.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we cannot even imagine living without our smartphones, tablets and
laptops. We need these wonders of technology to communicate with the rest of the world
and get instant, free access to any piece of information we need. Whether we allow
ourselves to be entirely consumed by these devices or we stay resistant to the temptations
they impose - that's something we should all decide for ourselves. It's in our nature to adapt
everything to our interests. Thus, we take the devices that are available to us and we choose
the way we use them. Technology can distract only those who do not plan to use it in the
most beneficial way. For everyone else, it's a necessary aspect of the way we function, and
it makes us more effective and knowledgeable than humans ever were.

Activity 2: Argumentative vs. Persuasive
Directions: Read the two essays below and try to distinguish between argumentative essay
and the persuasive essay by answering the questions that follow.
Essay 1
Washing your hands is like a 'do it yourself' vaccine - it reduces the spread of diarrhea and
respiratory system illness, it has 5 simple and effective steps (wet, bubbles, scrub, rinse, dry).
Especially, washing hands regularly before and after specific activities is one of the best ways
to eliminate bacteria, prevent sickness, and prevent bacteria from spreading to other people. It
is fast and very simple, it can make us all free from being sick. In addition to bacteria, washing
hands is everyone's victory.
(Source:www.essaybot.com)
Essay 2
Hand hygiene is a major issue in infection control. It is considered to be the most important
infection preventing measures. Many infections are spreading by direct contacts. To prevent
contamination, good hand washing techniques must be practiced. Hand washing is also the
least expensive measure to prevent transmission of nosomical infections. Hand washing is
just one important way of avoiding transmission of organisms present on the hands. Hand
hygiene is a well-researched subject. It is stated to be an important route of transmitting
infection (DOH 2001a cited in Dougherty, L. et al 2004). Survey shows that hand washing
is not carried out to the high standards desired (Taylor 1978a cited in Dougherty, L. et al
2004).

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
Assertion or Opinion
Background Information for Learners
An opinion is an expressed belief or judgment about something that isn’t necessarily
based on fact. It is an utterance of one’s view, judgment or an appraisal about a particular matter
that is not conclusive. The statement, “Hon. Vico Sotto is the best mayor in the Philippines,”
is an opinion statement because there are no facts provided to validate and qualify that he is
the best mayor in the Philippines.
Developing a good opinion statement makes an effective argument. This starts with a
clear opinion statement known as a “claim or proposition.”
Meanwhile, an assertion or assertive communication is a stylistic approach that
involves a strong declaration, a forceful or confident and positive statement regarding a belief
letting the readers to accept the idea or notion as an indisputable fact.
This rhetorical style has been proven to be one of the best approaches for writers to
express their personal feelings, beliefs, and ideas in a direct way without violating the rights of
others. This style has 4 types:
1. Basic Assertion - simple and straightforward statement for expressing feelings,
opinions and beliefs
e.g. Young men and women between ages 18-25 in the Philippines drink too
much alcohol.
2. Emphatic Assertion - conveys sympathy to someone recognizing first his/her feelings
or situation then showing support for his/her viewpoint,
feeling or rights
e.g. Anne is a topnotch writer because she writes so well.
3. Escalating Assertion - occurs when someone is not able to give a response to a
person’s basic assertions and therefore that person becomes
firm about him or her
e.g. If you exercise and use slimming product you will lose weight.
4. Language Assertion - the use of pronoun I and is useful for expressing negative
feelings
e.g. I can’t finish my work because you keep bothering me. Therefore, I
want you company and you to help me finish the work.
Learning Competency
Make statements of assertion or opinion. (EN10WC-Ic-12.2; Quarter II-Week 3)
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.

2. Assertion is a refutable statement.
True
False
3. An opinion statement may be classified as a proposition.

Formulate Claims of Fact, Value, and Policy
Background Information for Learners
What is claim? A statement essentially arguable, but used as a
primary point to support or prove an argument is called a claim. If
somebody gives an argument to support his position, it is called “making a
claim.” Different reasons are usually presented to prove why a certain point
should be accepted as logical.
There are three common types of claims. These are value, policy,
and factual claims. Identifying claims is easier if you have a background
about each type.
What is the difference among claim of fact, claim of value, and claim
of policy?
Claim of Fact focuses on establishing that something “is or isn’t” or
is “true or false”.
Claim of Value focuses on persuading an audience that something is
“good or bad”, “right or wrong”, “desirable or undesirable”.
Claim of Policy advocates that something “should or shouldn’t be
done”.
At this point, you now have a better understanding on the types of
claims. What will you do next? Here’s your challenge! Be ready to answer
series of exercises.

Writing Expository Essays
Hi, my name is Benji! I’m currently looking for a buddy who can help
me improve and master my writing skills, particularly in expressing my
thoughts about social issues. Can we be partners and learn this lesson
together? My English teacher tells me that learning can be fun when shared
with a friend. Please write your name on the space I provided for you. Nice
meeting you, ___________________! Shall we start?
Background Information for Learners
What is an expository essay?
An expository essay is a writer’s explanation of an idea or issue.
How can I write an expository essay?
Expository essays can be developed through comparison and contrast, definition,
example, and the analysis of cause and effect.
Steps in Writing an Exposition
1. Prepare: read on the topic given to you. It may also help if you list the key words or
phrases about your topic.
Say for example, your teacher asked you to write about “distance learning.” What could
you say about this topic if she asked the question: Why is distance learning important?
2. In the first paragraph, write a clear and concise thesis statement. It makes a claim,
directly answering the question given to you.
Example:
Distance learning, though challenging for students and their families and
teachers, too, is very important because it is the only way that education could go on,
while we are all still on community quarantine. (This is your thesis statement! It is
one sentence that expresses the main idea of the essay.)
3. After the first paragraph and the introduction of your thesis statement, write three body
paragraphs that will include evidential support. Evidential Support may come in various
forms which includes facts, statistics, expert opinions, and anecdotal proofs.
In writing the body paragraphs, remember the following:
a. Each paragraph should be limited to the exposition of one general idea. This will
allow for clarity and direction throughout the essay.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
37
b. Each paragraph in the body of the essay must have some logical connection to the
thesis statement in the opening paragraph.
Example:
Totally cancelling this school year due to the unforeseen emergence of the
COVID-19 pandemic will just result to more complicated problems that will surely
affect the students in the long run. One whole academic year is too long for them to be
deprived of their right to education. Moreover, it will also interrupt their momentum
and interest towards learning.
It can also be noted that when learners are left with nothing to do because
education stops, there will be a relatively higher possibility that students become
disinterested towards education. In fact, it has been a perennial observation of Carla
Callores, a public high school Guidance Counselor, that those who missed at least a
school year and comes back tend to show “lazy attitude” towards learning.
These could be the reasons why the education bureau kept on pushing for the
school opening despite the uncertainties brought forth by the novel corona virus.
Preparations were made and little by little, the result is becoming evident. Students are
still engaged in the learning process. It cannot be denied there are challenges
everywhere but still, education is going on.
4. After writing the body paragraphs using your evidential support, it is time to conclude
this expository essay.
In writing the conclusion, remember the following:
a. This part is not just a rewriting of the thesis; it must try to tie the loose ends and
wrap up the whole discussion.
b. Do not introduce any new information into the conclusion; rather, synthesize and
end the essay using the information presented in the body paragraphs.
Example:
We cannot just wait for the pandemic to be over and allow our learners to miss
learning for one school year. School authorities have to make a way to continue with
education. It will not be easy but measures can be made to address every single
challenge that confronts the implementation of education.
Learning Competency

and language features.

Take Note!!!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mass gatherings are still
prohibited by the government including face-to-face instructions at
school. However, it should not impede us from being creative to
ensure that learning does not stop. And so, I thought of an alternative
way on how you can submit your output to me.
You can send your expositions through any of the following
modes: Facebook: (Teacher’s FB account)

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
Impromptu & Extemporaneous Speeches
Background Information for Learners
There are times when we are asked to get up and say a few words about a topic we
have no intention of speaking about. This situation actually occurs at times.
Whenever you are in a situation like this, your spoken response is spontaneously
given.
Impromptu, derived from the Latin phrase meaning “in readiness,” is applied to a
speech given, a poem recited, or a song sung without advance notice or warning. Most of
the time, the speaker is called to deliver a message or state his opinions at the spur of the
moment, because he is expected to have a wide knowledge and understanding regarding
the given topic.
Extemporaneous is applied to unmemorized speech given from notes or an outline.
It is a planned and a prepared speech.
Learning Competency
EN10F-IIi-1.15: Make and deliver impromptu and extemporaneous speeches with ease and
confidence (Quarter II-Week 7)

During the
Delivery
•
After the
Delivery
•
•
Relax, and show a confident smile and posture in front of your
audience.
Identify the purpose of your speech (Will you entertain, inform, or
persuade?).
Think of a striking statement which could get the attention of your
listeners (an anecdote, a quotation, or a joke).
When it is your turn to talk, keep yourself composed and calm. Walk
unhurriedly at the appropriate area where you will deliver your
speech.
As you deliver your speech, establish an eye contact with your
audience and start right away with your powerful introductory
statements. Never forget to use transition words when moving from
the initial idea to the next one. (Remember our lesson on transitional
devices and use them to create organization in your speech!)
Observe appropriate verbal and nonverbal cues and be mindful of the

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
Compose Texts which include Multimodal Elements
Background Information for Learners
Key message: A good text has a comprehensible content and suitable style.
You might be thinking of the text messages in your phone but No, we are not talking about
cellphone text messages or “texts”!
What is a text?
A text is anything that conveys a set of meanings to the person who examines it.
Texts could be:
1. Written materials in books, magazines, newspapers, etc.
2. You might have thought that texts are limited to written materials, such as books,
magazines, and newspapers. Those items are fact texts – but so are movies,
paintings, television shows, songs, political cartoons, online materials,
advertisements, maps, and works of art.
Most of the texts you’re exposed to in your previous English classes are hard copies or
written texts like books, articles and essays—these kinds of texts are still the most common
types of learning material.
How do you write a text?
Writing texts of any kind requires understanding of how such texts operate and what do
they look like. The writing of any text cannot come in isolation- writing and reading are
intertwined and the best writers are people who read a lot.
Have you ever tried composing or writing a text with multimodal elements?
A text may be defined as multimodal when it combines two or more modes of
communication.
Five modes of communication:
● Written/Oral: meaning lies on spoken and printed language through use of
vocabulary and grammar
● Visual: meaning lies on still pictures and moving images (videos)
● Audio: meaning lies on music, sound effects, noises, and silence through the
use of volume, pitch and rhythm
● Gestural: meaning lies on movement of body, hands and eyes, facial
expression and body language
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
51
● Spatial: meaning lies on environmental spaces and architectural spaces and
use of proximity, direction, layout position and organization of objects in
space.
Multimodal texts include a combination of two or more modes of
communication in various combinations.
A multimodal text can be paper – such as books, comics, and posters.
A multimodal text can be digital – from slide presentations, e-books, blogs, e-posters,
web pages, and social media, through to animation, film and video games.
A multimodal text can be live – a performance or an event.
(Citation: O'Brien, A. (2020). Introduction to Creating Multimodal Texts. Retrieved
November 04, 2020, from https://creatingmultimodaltexts.com/)
Now that you have learned what is a text and its multimodal elements, are you
ready to explore and start creating your own multimodal text?

Activity 2: Sample, sample!
This time let’s combine text with multimodal elements. Using your
cellphone/tablet/digital camera take a picture of anything that interests you. For those without
available gadgets, you may cut a picture from a magazine or newspaper.
From the picture/image that you have captured, compose a two to three narrative or
descriptive text expressing your feelings or narrating what happened in that picture/image.
What is in the picture?
Post the picture
or image here
