WRITING AN

times or the recent past
did not ask ʻwhy'
questions or attempt to
answer these questions,
we would have very
limited knowledge about
many things in our world.
If Isaac Newton, for
example, did not ask why
things fell down after
throwing them up, he
would not have
discovered the law of
universal gravitation.

In you own idea, what is

the essence of ‘why’
questions?

Very good!

Addressing 'why'
questions means
providing explanations
for phenomena. An
explanation essay is one
such example of a
written piece of work
that addresses 'why'
questions.
It explains a particular
topic to its readers. Since
it is meant to inform or
educate the readers, the
essay should present
convincing and adequate
support for the
explanations.

Explanation essay is
Made up of:
 Introduction -one
or two
paragraphs
 Body – at least
three paragraphs
 Conclusion – one
or two
paragraphs

An example of
Explanation Essay is the
work of Danton Remoto
2017 titled “A Mansion of
Many Languages”
It has 13 paragraphs that
discusses all about his
Professor Rolando S.
Tinio that says, Filipinos
have Proficiency in
English language that
provides us all the
advantages.
The title means that we
Filipinos have many
languages either our
mother tongue, our
national language, our
second language, and
any foreign languages
that other Filipinos
wanted to learn. And
that makes us Filipinos a
Mansion of Many
Languages.
The Professor also stated
that Philippines is a
multi-lingual paradise.

Is there anyone from the

group who can share

WRITING A BLOG

Anne Frank, a German-

born Jew. What do you
know about Anne Frank? Annelies Marie Frank was a
Do research about her. German-born girl who kept a
diary documenting her life in
hiding amid Nazi persecution
during the German
Okay thank you! occupation of the
Netherlands.

In 1942, while hiding

from the German Nazis in
Amsterdam,
Netherlands, Anne Frank
wrote the following entry
in her diary.

October 9th 1942: “Today

l have nothing but dismal
and depressing news to
report. Our many Jewish
friends and
acquaintances are being
taken away in droves.
The Gestapo is treating
them very roughly and
transporting them in
cattle cars to Westerbork,
the big camp in Drenthe
to which they’re sending
all the Jews. Miep told us
about someone who’d
managed to escape from
there. It must be terrible
in Westerbork. The
people get almost
nothing to eat, much less
to drink, as water is
available only one hour a
day, and there’s only one
toilet and sink for several
thousand people. Men
and women sleep in the
same room, and women
and children often have
their heads shaved.
Escape is almost
impossible; many people
look Jewish, and they’re
branded by their shorn
heads. If it’s that bad in
Holland, what must it be
like in those faraway and
uncivilized places where
the Germans are sending
them? We assume that
most of them are being
murdered. The English
radio says they’re being
gassed. Perhaps that’s
the quickest way to die. I
feel terrible. Miep’s
accounts of these horrors
are so heartrending…
Fine specimens of
humanity, those
Germans, and to think
I’m actually one of them!
No, that's not true, Hitler
took away Our
nationality long ago. And
besides, there are no
greater enemies on earth
than the Gernmans and
Jews.”

Today, with easy access

to computers and the
Internet, people write
their diaries differently.
From handwritten
entries on a piece of
paper or a notebook
page, diaries in
contemporary times
come in the form of
online journals which are
called blogs.

The term “blog" was first

used in the 1990s. It is a
short version of
"weblog," or an
individualized piece of
written work found on
the web. It is defined
below by dictionary.com.

noun
1. a website containing a
writer's or group of
writers' own experiences,
observations, opinions,
etc., and often having
images and links to other
websites.
2. a single entry or post
on such a website:
She regularly contributes
a blog to the magazine's
website.
verb (used without
object), blogged,
blogging.
3. to maintain or add
new entries to a blog.
verb (used with object),
blogged, blogging.
4. to express or write
about on a blog:
She's been blogging her
illness for almost a year.
communication FOR
Various PURPOSES

Who among you can

differentiate Blogs from
Diaries?
I believe Blogs are online and
Correct! Diaries are hand written
ma’am .
Blogs, like diary entries,
are individual accounts of
a writer's experiences
and emotions. Thus, the
viewpoint is usually
personal and subjective.
However, blogs are
different from the
traditional journal or
diary entry in the sense
that blogs are uploaded
to online platforms that
make it easier for
bloggers (those who
write blogs) to include
visual features, as well as
links to other sites on the
net.

Unlike diary entries,

blogs are public in
nature. This means that
bloggers, even if they
write about personal
issues, must present
these issues in a way that
 would interest the
general public.

Blogs, compared to diary

entries, are more
concerned with
communicating
a message, rather than
simply expressing or
documenting an idea or
emotion.
