Indeed, improving your reading and writing skills also goes hand in hand with developing your communication skills. The more you read and write the more you broaden your vocabulary and are able to articulate concepts accurately and more actively to others. Increasing your ability to communicate also helps make you a better worker or student. Compare and contrast patterns of written texts across disciplines Moreover, in this lesson, you will learn concepts and do practice activities that will help you do the following: 1. classify different texts according to genre and genre form; 2. recognize the generic features and structure of specific text; and 3. differentiate the patterns of development used in written texts. What I Know Before you proceed to the different activities inside the module, answer first the short pre-assessment activity below to find out what you already know about the topic patterns of text types across disciplines.

It will help you understand important concepts that you can apply in your daily life. If you study this module carefully, you will learn the answers to all the items in the test and a lot more! Are you ready? Lesson 1 Patterns of Written Texts Across Disciplines What’s In GENRE AND GENRE FORMS Can you still recall what you learned in your English class? What is genre? Wikipedia defines “Genre as any form or type of mode (written, spoken, digital, artistic, etc.) with socially-agreed-upon conventions developed over time”. Genre is most popularly known as a category of literature, music, or other forms of art or entertainment, whether written or spoken, audio or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria, yet genres can be aesthetic, rhetorical, communicative, or functional. Genres form by conventions that change over time as cultures invent new genres and discontinue the use of old ones. Prose is a form of spoken or written language that exhibits a grammatical structure, a literary text that tells a story and a natural flow of speech. Forms of Prose The main categories of prose are Fiction and Non-fiction. When we say Fiction those are non-true characters in the existing world while Non -fiction are real life characters. City of Good Character DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE 2 Fiction is a prose narrative in which situations and characters were just invented by the writer to make the readings more interesting. In novels, short stories and folktales, the characters and events are extra- ordinary. This is actually making use of imaginative writing to make the text seemingly different. Non-fiction on the other hand like essays, biographies and many more deals with real life people, places or things and events. The writers make use of different techniques in order to make his work achieve its purpose. What’s New Do you enjoy reading poems or writing it? How do you find it? Poetry is a very imaginative kind of writing that uses rhythm and other poetic devices. It is very powerful because a writer has to make use of devices in order to create a good one. Forms of Poetry Lyric Poems are musical verses that express the observations and feelings of the speaker. Narrative Poems are those that we love to hear because they present stories. Epics are long, narrative poems written in a dignified style that talks about the adventure and heroic deed of a certain character. Ballads are songlike poems that tell a story of romance and adventure. Free verse is poetry written in irregular rhythmical patterns of matter. Sonnets are a form of rhyming lyric poetry with fourteen lines that follow iambic pentameter rhyme scheme; each line has ten syllables. Haiku is a poetry from Japan consisting of seventeen syllables arranged in three lines that follows five syllables, second is seven and five syllables in the third. Can you still recall your previous readings in your English Class? Try answering this by writing the title of the Fiction Prose form and Non-Fiction Prose form and classify also their genre. FICTIONAL PROSE FORM NON - FICTIONAL PROSE FORM 1. Ex. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy 2. 3. 4. 5. City of Good Character DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE 3 Try This: Online Research I’m sure that you’re good at making use of google on your cell phone or laptops in searching or looking for a particular word that you really want to know. As you can see, below is a table of Poetry. All you have to do is to look for titles for each poetry making use of what you have learned in Junior High and at the same time with the help of Wikipedia or Google. Be ready to share your work online with your classmates. 1.Narrative 2.Epic Poem The Odyssey by Homer The Iliad by Homer Song ____________ of Myself by Walt Whitman ____________ The Highway Man by Alfred Loyes 4.Sonnets Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare Sonnet __________ 82 by William Shakespeare 3.Ballad ______________ Bridal Ballad by Edgar Allan Poe Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe 5. Haiku The Old Pond by Matsuo Bashio The Light by Yoza Buzon _________ Great Job! You were able to do the task. Now, let us discuss drama. Drama is a story that is usually presented on stage by performers such actors and actresses that make the drama more exciting to the audience. Forms of Drama Comedy is a story presented in a very humorous manner and usually ends happily. Tragedy is a heart-breaking stage story because the characters usually end up in accident or death. The downfall of the main character makes it sad in the end, while a Melodrama story is full of excitement where characters are sometimes too emotional or exaggerated. Farce is a funny play in a theater based on ridiculous events. Historical Drama is a play that takes place in the past and real events. The characters are based on a true to life persons story but the dialogue is created by the playwright. City of Good Character DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE 4 What is It Texts have been classified simply into literary and informational texts. Literary Texts include those short stories, novels, poems and dramas and many more. Informational Texts provide factual information. consumer, public and workplace documents such as letters to business, memos, news, articles and advertisement are considered informational materials. a. Consumer documents are printed materials that accompany products and services like manuals, labels, brochures etc. b. Workplace documents are those that pertain to operations or to aid a business. c. Public Documents are documents written to provide information that is concerning to the public such as speeches, signs, rules and regulations. d. Textbooks are materials used in school. Text Features and Structures are design elements to a text that is why it is important for you to understand that when you read there are some parts of the texts that help you understand the content of the said article. Let us get closer to the mostly used Pattern of Written Text types, this means how the writer organizes the text according to its purpose. 1. Narration in its basest definition, is storytelling. It is a sequence of events, not necessarily arranged in chronological order, told by a narrator, happening in a particular place at a particular time. Narration is creating a world based on the writer’s imagination. It is also revisiting a world based on the author’s memory. In either case, the reader is aimed to be transported from one’s real world to the reality of the story being read. Read this example: “The death of Grandmother Zabielska was the first one experienced by the children. Both their grandfathers had died long before. None of the children remembered them. She was the first person that they knew, and whom they lived with. For that reason, her end came for them as a kind of model death. It also explains how the seventy-second year, the age at which she died, came to mark them for a close- in that human life, just as the redline on a thermometer points to the normal temperature. They always believed that whoever died before that age died young too, while every additional year was a gift”. From: “Grandmother Zebielska” By: Sofia Starowieyska Morstin City of Good Character DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE 5 2. Description creates a strong impression; an overall effect of image about the topic. Description tells about the uses of senses. It brings the person, place or object to life. Read this example: She worked in a public school, which I would not like to tell others when I was young because she was just a janitress who took care of the school facilities. She was loved by many because of her kindness and dedication to work. I think she was admired by the school head, but I don’t see her that way simply because she’s just putting me in a big shame whenever we see her. That's why I asked my classmates to avoid her. 3.Cause and effect shows a causal analysis. The writer usually writes a single cause but with multiple effects or even multiple causes with multiple effects. Read this example: Tv or television has dramatically transformed our lives since it was first introduced in 1954. Many of our children became a fanatic of anime and other children's shows which somehow affected the attitude of the young ones. They can easily acquire gestures and catch words uttered in those cartoons they have seen. They had very little self-esteem and became lazy of doing tasks mainly because they didn’t want to miss their noon time shows. 4.Comparison and Contrast helps to create a focused argument and give your reader a different view by weighing the differences of the said topic. Read this example: Many parents all over the country are in a quandary whether to enroll their children to online classes amidst the world-wide Pandemic. Parents are now having a hard time to decide on this issue. Face to face classroom right now is impossible due to the threat of virus. Traditional methods of learning are beneficial to both the learners and teachers. However, we have to adjust to new challenges in the teaching and learning process. The use of technology in order to teach students at home is a gargantuan task but it can be done. Teaching and learning without the physical presence is a big leap for everyone. It is true that teachers’ role in the face-to-face classroom is irreplaceable but in times like the present, teaching online is inevitable. 5. Process Analysis tells the readers how to do the process or how something works. It explains each step in the process. It can be written in a wide scope of topics, from highly technical processes to the simplest way in logical order. City of Good Character DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE 6 Read this example: To make delightful and Instagrammable hot cakes, first, prepare the ingredients needed like flour, butter, water, and egg. Then, mix all the ingredients in a big mixing bowl. Third, preheat your pan by putting butter on it. Then, place a small amount, enough to make a small circle of pancake and finally remove the pancake and spread butter on top. 6. Definition this text tells the readers what is being defined. It gives examples that readers will understand. Read this example: You know the feeling when you’re reading or streaming a movie when your wifi goes out. What is Wi-fi? and why do you depend on it so much? Understanding the concept of Wi-Fi is important for users of modern technology because it connects us to the world. Wi-Fi is the wireless local network between nearby devices such as routers, computers and smartphones. It is a part of LAN (local area Network) that replaced the wired ethernet option. What’s More Activity 1 Read the following lines and identify the kind of pattern used in writing. ___________1. Coronavirus is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, a new strain of virus that was first detected in Wuhan, China. ___________2. On the other hand, the difference between the poor and rich has been very noticeable especially right now that the poor don’t have anything to sustain their living unlike the rich who still manage to live with ease. But the good thing is, both the rich and the poor are resilient, thus are able to cope with the present situation. ___________3. Many people believe in the power of prayer that is why we have to follow certain guides in praying. We should look first for a quiet place and meditate by praising Him. Then, confess all your sins and ask for forgiveness. Prayer can move mountains. ___________4. Maureen is a simple ordinary girl who loves to be with people. One day, she realized that most of her fancy dreams were the same as her mother. She found a diary in the underground library of their house. She almost cried when she read “All my life, I’ve dreamt to be a singer but mom wouldn’t allow me to”. ___________5. The rising numbers of death caused by Corona virus may be from several factors: one of these is that people often go out and the possibility of getting the virus is not remote. Observing Physical l distancing and lack of discipline are also some of these factors. City of Good Character DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE 7 ___________6. It is said that this is the noblest profession in the world. Being in the field has never been easy, seeing the four corners of the old building classroom that was painted with white and a big planks of wood colored green makes this stay a promise to teach and to learn, call it tasking but it is very rewarding. ____________7. Bike has been one of the old school hobbies but indeed a fantastic experience to go places by using the two wheels and brakes as armor. It doesn’t require fuel or diesel. ___________8. Her hands have been rough due to the many years she had worked in a big old house of her so- called Madam. She has a very warm voice that I would still like to hear even now that my house is far from her. I miss her cooking for the family especially when we have special days. I always long for her sweet simple scented perfume that lingers whenever she passes by. ___________9. A terrifying night happened last week. It was a very cold evening when I woke up to get a cup of hot Choco in our kitchen. Suddenly, I sensed that someone was watching over me. Slowly as I looked for my drink, the glass fell and was broken into pieces. As I moved closely to check what happened, I felt that something was going on but to my surprise it was Natzuko my little dog, who jumped to kiss me. ___________10. There are hundreds of human activists and social workers who are not only speaking for their rights. What is Peace? It is considered the absence of war, harmony and togetherness. They say that peace is something impossible. Why? because people still choose to have their own way and look things differently as they are that’s why war is always an answer for the struggle. Activity 2 Reread the following paragraphs, then, compare and contrast the patterns presented. Use a separate sheet of paper for your answer. A. On the other hand, the difference between the poor and rich has been very noticeable especially right now that the poor don’t have anything to sustain their living unlike the rich who still manage to live with ease.
