Notes to the Teacher
The activities in this module are arranged from simple to complex to help the learner
gradually master the desired learning competency. Give him/her the needed support and
guidance so that he/she will be able to summarize key information from a text.
What is It
Reacting to What is Asserted or Expressed in a Text
How do you react to a text? Do you find it difficult in determining the mood, tone and
purpose of the author in the texts? Let’s have our simple discussion!
Mood is the general feeling the reader gets while reading a story. The reader may feel
excited, happy, scared, lonely, angry, sad, overjoyed, frustrated, depressed or amused. It is
the feeling or atmosphere the reader perceive or feel while reading. Thus it is the overall
emotion created by a work of literature.
These feeling were expressed by the writers through the words that he/ she chose to
describe the characters, setting or events in the story.
Examples: The bright castle of King Indarapatra was filled with festivities (happy). The
words “bright” and “castle” express that the mood is happy.
The bones were scattered around the dark mountain (scary). The words
“bones” and “dark” signify that the place is scary.
Tone is the attitude a writer takes toward an audience, a subject, or a character. Tone is
conveyed through the writer’s choice of words and details. The tone can be light and humorous,
serious and sad, friendly or hostile, joyous or angry, and proud or sympathetic. It is suggested
by the choice of words, the arrangement of the words the author used.
Example: “I’m not like you. I don’t like to play rough, dangerous games (fearful)”. The
words “don’t like” and “dangerous” express the tone is fearful.
At this point, let us discuss about the types of text.
Distinguishing the text types is simply a matter of determining the author’s goal. Know
the intention of the author if he wants to tell about a personal experience, describe something,
explain an issue, or convince the readers to accept a viewpoint.
There are four basic text types such as descriptive, narrative, expository, and
argumentative.
6
DESCRIPTIVE TEXT
A descriptive text usually focuses on describing a single location, object, event, person,
or place. It endeavors to engage all five of the reader’s senses to evoke the sights, sounds,
smells, tastes, and feels of the text’s subject. It paints a picture with words. The descriptive text
strives to communicate deeper meaning through the description.
Example:
Mom
by: Mark Penny
People age and their looks change, but we
often remember them as they used to be. When I
think of my mother, I see her as she was when I was
a boy. She was a beauty.
Hair styles changed many times while I was growing up, and my mother’s did, too,
but I usually think of her with her hair done up in a beehive. She had wavy, dark brown
hair and hazel eyes. Her face was a slightly rectangular oval, which made her look
both gentle and strong. She had high, arching eyebrows and a triangular, slightly turned
up nose. Her chin was smooth and feminine. She was not very tall, about five feet six
inches, but she was slim and graceful, so I never thought of her as short compared to
other adults. She was proud to be a woman and always wore feminine clothing. Her eyes
and smile also radiated pride in who and what she was.
NARRATIVE TEXT
Narrative texts include any type of writing that relates a series of events and includes both
fiction (novels, short stories, poems) and non-fiction (memoirs, biographies, news stories).
Both forms tell stories that use imaginative language and express emotion, often through the
use of imagery, metaphors, and symbols.
Narrative text involves the reader by making the story as vivid as possible. The fact that
narrative essays are usually written in the first person helps engage the reader.
Example:
Fathers and Sons
by: Mark Penny
My oldest son is seven. His school anniversary
was coming and there was going to be a sports day
one Saturday morning. I work six days a week,
including Saturday, and on Saturday morning I
have three hours of classes that only I can teach. I
thought my students would be very unhappy if I took
the morning off. When I told my son I could not go to
7
his sports day to see him run, he was very sad. He cried. When I saw how disappointed
he was, I decided that being with him on his big day was more important than the money
I could make, so I took that Saturday morning off. When I got to his school for the sports
day, he was very happy and gave me a big hug.
EXPOSITORY TEXT
Expository texts exist to provide facts in a way that is educational and purposeful. This
text is fact-based with the purpose of expressing the truth through a reliable source. Truth and
deliberate expository text will focus on educating its reader.
It is an informative piece of writing that presents a balanced analysis of the topic. In an
expository text, the author explains or defines a topic, using facts, statistics, and examples.
Example:
Air pollution is a major concern of new civilized
world, which has a serious toxicological impact on
human health and the environment. It has a number
of different emission sources, but motor vehicles
and industrial processes contribute the major part
of air pollution. According to the World Health
Organization, six major air pollutants include particle
pollution, ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and lead.
Long and short term exposure to air suspended toxicants has a different toxicological
impact on human including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, neuropsychiatric
complications, the eyes irritation, skin diseases, and long-term chronic diseases such
as cancer.

PERSUASIVE TEXT
A persuasive text is any text where the main purpose is to present a point of view and
seeks to persuade a reader. A persuasive text can be an argument, discussion, review, or
even advertisement.
The author may present both sides of the argument, but must be able to communicate
it clearly.
Example:
The Most Important Meal
Most of the people go through the day without
having a breakfast. Many of them believe that it is
not necessary reasoning that they don’t have time
for that. Knowing that breakfast is the most important
meal, everyone should eat breakfast before
8
performing any activities. When you skip breakfast, experts say that you are looking
for a disease because it’s not healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. Eating
breakfast may be hard for those who does not have appetite in the morning, but always
remember the risks and consequences it may bring. Remember, it is the most important
meal.
including Saturday, and on Saturday morning I have three hours of classes that
only I can teach. I thought my students would be very unhappy if I took the morning off.
When I told my son I could not go to his sports day to see him run, he was very sad. He
cried. When I saw how disappointed he was, I decided that being with him on his big day
was more important than the money I could make, so I took that Saturday morning off.
When I got to his school for the sports day, he was very happy and gave me a big hug.
REMEMBER! Make it a goal to understand what you read be it long or a short
text. Be able to determine the tone, mode,and purpose of the author.

and discard immediately.
___13. Whenever I try to walk around the nature, it is undeniably impossible not to admire and
appreciate the beauty of it. The color brought by the shining sun is definitely adorable.
Its reflection towards the lake shines like a diamond. The sounds of the chirping bird is
like a song massaging my ears. The fresh winds calmly touches my skin as the leaves
from the trees fall down to enrich the soil. The butterflies are gracefully flying as if they
are excited to see me. The sight is even more fascinating when there is no garbage
around. Indeed, nature is the most wonderful sight we can have for free. We just need
to responsibly take care of it.
___14. Human health is vulnerable to climate change. The changing environment is expected
to cause more heat stress, an increase in waterborne diseases, poor air quality, and
diseases transmitted by insects and rodents. Extreme weather events can compound
many of these health threats. Ecosystems are also affected by climate change.
Changes are also occurring to the ocean. The ocean absorbs about 30% of the carbon
dioxide that is released into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. As a
16
result, the ocean is becoming more acidic, affecting marine life. Rising sea levels due
to thermal expansion and melting land ice sheets and glaciers put coastal areas at
greater risk of erosion and storm surge.

___15. I had the chance to go the beautiful city of Tagaytay. I always wanted to see to its
beautiful sceneries and sunset. Its high mountains made my heart excited and ponder
with joy. The breathtaking sunset is undeniably heartwarming. Its bright light made my
mind calm and peaceful. Indeed, an amazing place to relax.
