Performance Task: Text Analysis


Directions: Read the text about Facebook. Then, analyze by describing how a focused idea is presented, how the
text is organized, how the ideas are linked to one another, how language is used, and how effectively the mechanics
(spelling, punctuation, and abbreviation) are followed. Cite specific examples in your explanation. Use the table below
to accomplish this task.

With the increasing popularity of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), social networking sites (SNS)
have become an integral part of our lives. One of these SNSs is Facebook, a popular site which has over one billion
active users around the world. Generally, there are two main functions of Facebook: for personal use and for
educational purpose.

People use Facebook for their personal use to communicate with their friends and relatives. For example, if there
are important events to celebrate, a Facebook user can just send a personal message, post an invitation his/her
timeline, or create an event and invite friends. Facebook is also extensively used to interact with other people.
Reconnecting with childhood friends and former colleagues is also made easy; a user just needs to type the name of
the person in the search tab and then add that person as a friend.

The second major function of Facebook is for academic purposes. It has several features that can be used for
teaching. For instance, teachers can simply update their statuses or send messages to make announcements on
submission deadlines and assignments. Facebook can also be used as a venue for students to display their works,
such as speaking performances and essays. By sharing their outputs to others and receiving praise or constructive
comments, students would have a sense of authorship. Intellectual discussions can also be conducted on Facebook
through its chatting features.

Undoubtedly, Facebook is a viable tool for personal and academic success. Not only does it enhance and provide a
positive influence in classroom practices, it also helps individuals collaborate, communicate, and reconnect.
Nevertheless, people should still be responsible enough so that this great invention would not be misused and put to
waste.
