RESOURCES
In the broad sense, discourse ‘includes’ TEXT (q.v.), but the two terms
are not always easily distinguished, and are often used synonymously.
Text
A large unit of written language
A group of ideas put together to make a point or central idea
Has structure which requires the ideas in the discourse to be
relevant to each other
Worksheet 1 contains questions not just for analysis but also for
depicting different elements of a narrative text and to incorporate the
WORKSHEET 1: The Man Who Can’t be Moved learning that we use different types of discourse depending on the
situation to relay our message effectively.
Let the class study the lyrics of The Man Who can’t be moved by the Script.
Let them answer the following questions after
a. Where and when did the action happen? (setting)
b. Who is the persona?(character)
c. What are the actions done by the persona? How did he do it? What is the reason behind
the action?(actions)
A.2. FREEWRITING
In this technique, just keep on writing and not minding errors in
spelling and grammar. The objective here is to just write what
comes to your mind. Have a quantitative goal like coming up
with 500 words or more. Then review what you have written
later and hopefully come up with a specific topic that would
interest you.
A.3. LISTING
List down what comes to your mind. If your intention is to come
up with topic to write about, enumerate them. An important
reminder in using this technique is not to list your ideas in an
outline form because an outline will require you to organize
items and your thoughts which is a principle contrary to
brainstorming
A.4. MAPPING
Mapping, also known as clustering and webbing, is a graphic
form of listing that simply involves jotting down ideas on a large
writing surface and then making connections by associating
similarly themed ideas with color-coded circles or underlines of
distinct patterns and then indicating other relationships by
linking with lines.

B. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
A graphic organizer, also known as knowledge map, concept
map, story map, cognitive organizer, advance organizer, or
concept diagram, is a communication tool that uses visual
symbols to express knowledge, concepts, thoughts and ideas and

PROPERTIES OF A WELL-WRITTEN TEXT
1. Organization - refers to the arrangement of ideas in a text
Creating an outline of ideas before you start writing can help
your work become organized.
It Is said that ideas are well-developed when there is a clear
statement of purpose, position, facts, examples, specific details,
definitions, explanations, justifications, or opposing viewpoints.
Organization is achieved when these ideas are logically and
accurately arranged.
Outline- provides a format in which ideas can be arranged in a
hierarchy- that is, it distinguishes the general ideas from the
specific or subordinating ideas
4. Proper Mechanics
refers to the conventions of writing which includes
capitalization, punctuation, spelling, numerals, abbreviations,
acronyms and contractions
