misunderstanding a word or a
Poem Reading
Have you experienced difficulty in getting the meaning of unfamiliar words from a poem? How do you
know the meaning of these words? Do you consult Google or the dictionary immediately? Read the poem
carefully that will teach you how to get the meaning of unfamiliar words through context clues without
using any references, then answer the questions that follow.
CONTEXT CLUES
By: Maribel Azote Cabalan – Buco
Questions:
1. What can you say about the poem? _____________________________________________________
2. Do you find difficulty in understanding the poem? _______________________________________
3. List down the words in the poem that are new to you. _______________________________________
Authors usually know when to use an unfamiliar word. When they do, they include other words or phrases
for clear understanding of it. These words or phrases are referred to as context clues. These clues are
found within the sentences, and they help you make a logical guess about the meaning of the unfamiliar
word. Once you become more aware of these clues, you will save time looking up meanings in the
dictionary.
In the previous part of the module, you have read the poem entitled “Context Clues.” What are some of the
words that you find difficult to understand? How do you unlock the meaning of the words? What are the
clues that help you solve them?
This time, you study the sentences below. Take note of the underlined words. Can you give their meanings?
1. As a writer, Dr. Jose Rizal used several pseudonyms so as not to reveal his real identity.
2. We should always be prudent in what we say so as not to hurt the feelings of others.
Look at sentence number 1, what do you think is the meaning of the word pseudonyms? The answer is pen
names.
How about in sentence number 2, what do you think is the meaning of the word prudent? The answer is
careful.
How did you know the answers? What words helped you identify the meanings of those unfamiliar words?
The words not to reveal helped you identify the meaning of pseudonyms in sentence number 1 while the
words not to hurt helped you identify the meaning of prudent in sentence number 2. These words served
as the clues in the sentences.
Aside from using the dictionary, another way of learning the meaning of an unfamiliar word is through
noting context clues. Are you familiar of it? So, what are context clues?
Context clues are words that appear in sentences to help understand the meanings of difficult words.
Example: A treasure hunter is a person who searches for treasures from sunken ships and ancient tombs to
obtain valuable relics and artifacts.
2. by Synonym – a similar word is placed in the same sentence to know the meaning of the unfamiliar word
Example: It is common for Filipinos to feel compassion or pity for the suffering of their fellowmen.
(synonym: pity)
Example: Among the siblings of thin body structure, Isabel is the only one who is portly.
(antonym: thin)
4. by Comparison – a similar word with the same meaning of the unfamiliar word is placed with an object
to be compared
Example: The stench of the garbage was like the smell of a rotten fish.
5. by Example – samples are provided in the sentence to understand the meaning of the unfamiliar word
Example: In ancient times, some of our forefathers believed in amulets, such as pearl of the crocodile, pearl
of the ax, bullet necklace, and bag of herbs to protect them from harm.
(example: pearl of the crocodile, pearl of the ax, bullet necklace, bag of herbs)
Example: Matthew had few infractions of the house rules that he should have done as part of his
responsibilities.
7. by Cause-Effect – the meaning of the difficult word depends on the cause-effect relationship of other
words as expressed in the sentence
Example: Since only a few followed the wearing of face mask, it was made mandatory by the government.
8. by List or Series of clues – to understand the meaning of the unknown word, it is included in a series of
words given in a sentence
Example: After the program, the rubbish left were souvenir programs, flyers, leaflets plastic bottles, and
food wrappings.
9. by Inference – to understand the meaning of the unknown word, one has to make a guess based on the
description given in the sentence
Example: When one shows belligerence, harsh words, disruptive actions, and offensive behaviors can be
observed.
Type: ____________________
Example: _________________
II. Filipinos are known for being strong in facing challenges. They do not simply give up.
Write a paragraph about how you face your greatest challenges using one or more types of context
clues.

III. Read the selections below and take note of the culture being presented.
A. It is truly heart-warming to see that many Filipinos, despite their limited movement and resources, have
found ways to help other Filipinos in battling the pandemic. Individuals and groups have expressed
empathy and gratitude to various affected sectors, especially among healthcare workers who are the
most exposed to the virus. According to the DOH, more than 1,000 healthcare workers have been
infected with the pathogen. This prompted the locals to donate personal protective equipment (PPE) to
protect them as they fight every day to save lives.

Philippines
B. Asian people are known all over the world for their strong cultural values and intelligent minds. This
continent has given birth to many famous scientists, celebrities and politicians. Although this continent
does not boast of many developed countries, many developing countries within this continent are on the
threshold of becoming developed. Asia as a continent was initially under the colonial rule for a very long
time except Japan. Many nations like India, China, Pakistan and Afghanistan have suffered the brunt of
oppressive colonial rule by Europeans and Americans for a very long period of time.
- Excerpt from Asian People, Their Traditions and Cultures
• Who are known for their strong cultural values and intelligent minds?
• What Asian countries suffered from colonial rule?
IV. Answer the following questions based on the selections above. (Questions 1-2, refer to selection A;
Questions 3-5, refer to selection B).
4. What do you see as possible outcomes when Asians continue to work together as one?

ORGANIZE
If you were asked to do a research work on stories of Filipino women, how will you find a reliable source of
information about the topic? Will you search it on the internet or visit the library to find appropriate books? In
doing so, do you closely look at the parts or details of the sources that you use?
This part of the module will lead you to an initial understanding of the importance of looking at the parts or
details of a source. Look at the text below. Study and analyze it.

When you do your research, you need to cite or list your sources. Whenever you take specific facts, ideas, or
quotations from a book, magazine, newspaper, or other sources, you make sure to cite the source.
Here are some important reasons why you need to cite or list the sources:
• It gives credit to the authors.
• It provides you and the reader with more information about the sources.
• It shows the writer’s credibility, referring to whether his/her sources are reliable.
• It prevents plagiarism, an act of stealing someone else’s ideas and presenting them as your own.
Look at the sample text inside the box. How many sources do you see? One way of citing your sources is
through listing them on a separate page of your research paper. This page is what we call a bibliography.

What is a Bibliography?
A bibliography is taken from the Greek word ‘biblion’ which means ‘book’ and ‘graphia’ which means ‘to write.’
A bibliography contains an alphabetical list of sources like books, periodicals, and websites used by the writer
or researcher.
A research paper should contain a bibliography written on a separate page and should be located at the end of
the paper. Each entry uses a hanging indention, also known as a second line indention.
There are many styles or formats in citing or listing sources, depending on the subject. The three main citation
styles are the following:
1. The American Psychological Association (APA) Style which is used in social and behavioral sciences.
2. The Modern Language Association (MLA) Style which is used for writing papers on literature and
related subjects like theater or film.
3. The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) which is often used in many academic fields, especially in the
humanities and social sciences.
In this module, we will follow the bibliography annotation standard specified in Chicago Manual of Styles 17th
Edition.
These are the types or formats of sources of information: print and online.
A. Print Sources. These are sources that have been published in printed format, such as books and periodicals.
1. Books. These are the most common and reliable sources of information. This is the sample format of
writing a book bibliography.

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 11:2
Before this lesson, you learned about the proper ways of citing sources. Let us see if you can still remember
some of the important concepts.
Let’s Review
Read each of the following situations. Write A if it is acceptable and NA if it is not acceptable in writing
a bibliography.
_______ 1. A learner can get information from various websites and acknowledge the author by writing
the sources used.
_______ 2. A learner may not cite sources of information that he/she used in his/her research.
_______ 3. A research paper requisitely contains a bibliography written on a separate page and placed at
the end part of the paper.
_______ 4. It is important to cite the sources of information that you used in your research because it
will give credit to the author.
These words are called modals or modal expressions. As you go through this module, you will also learn each
of the different types of modals.
ORGANIZE
Statement A Statement B
Self-check:
• Which of the two statements would make a person below 21 years old feel sadder?
• Notice the underlined words in the two statements. What do you think are these words?
This part of the module will deepen your learning about modal verbs and their functions.
What have you noticed in sentences 1 and 2? Do they have the same meaning? If not, what is their difference?
• Sentences 1 and 2 have different meanings. Sentence 1 states a fact that his mother
is too old for horseback riding. Sentence 2 expresses the possibility that his mother
could no longer do horseback riding due to her age.
• The presence of the word ‘might’ in sentence 2 makes the meaning different. The word
‘might ’is an example of a modal expression that functions as a verb .
• Aside from might, there are other commonly used modal expressions that function as
a verb, like may, can, could, shall, should, will, and would.
Modal Verbs are auxiliary or helping verbs which modify or change the meaning of the main verbs. You use
modal verbs in giving advice or suggestions, in making requests, or in giving predictions and prohibitions. To
show more of the other uses of modal verbs, here is a list with sample sentences:
Do you remember the announcement in the previous lesson which said, “All persons below 21 years old must
stay at home during Enhanced Community Quarantine”? What was your reaction to it?
Below is the reaction of Peter and Donna. Read their dialogue and find out if you have the same reaction.
Well, whether it is an

the news. You are right, Donna. possibility, it is a necessity
that we protect ourselves
from the virus. Right, Peter?
• Do you have the same reaction with Peter and Donna? Notice the underlined words. What do you think
are these words?
Based on what you have noted on the use of modal nouns from Peter and Donna in their conversation in the
previous activity, let us learn more about Modal nouns.
Do they have the same meaning? If not, what makes them different?
1. The three underlined words may mean the same because they are all qualities or states. However, each is
unique. ‘Certainty’ is a quality or state of being certain or sure. ‘Willingness’ is a quality or state of being
ready to do something. Furthermore, ‘likelihood’ is a quality or state of something having the chance to
happen.
2. Specifically, ‘certainty’ in Sentence 1 expresses that Carl’s win is for sure. The word ‘willingness’ in
Sentence 2 expresses that Carl’s friends are ready to help him. In addition, ‘likelihood’ in Sentence 3
expresses that there is a chance that the students will vote for Carl.
3. These words are used as nouns that express modality. These nouns, that express modality, are called
modal nouns. Just like the modal verbs, modal nouns also express the quality or state in some manner
other than as a simple fact.
Read the table below that shows more examples of modal nouns, their meanings, and sample sentences.
What do you observe with the modal nouns shown in the table? Are they similar to modal verbs? If yes, how are
they similar? If not, how are they different?
• The modal nouns are mostly names of qualities or states. They are similar to modal verbs in a way that
they also express modal meaning. However, they are different from modal verbs in the way they are
used in a sentence. Modal verbs are used to add information to the main verb while modal nouns name
a quality, state, or condition that state modality.
Do you remember Peter and Donna? They are friends who are staying at home because of the Enhanced
Community Quarantine. They want to be productive while they are at home, so they ask each other about
activities that they can do.
Let us find out the activities that they are planning to do.
What do you think of the ideas of Peter and Donna? Would you do the same activities?
Notice the underlined words. What do you think are these words?
In the previous lesson, you learned about modal verbs and modal nouns. This time, you will learn about modal
adverbs.
What do you call the underlined words in each sentence? Is there something unique with these words?
How are these words related to modal verbs and modal nouns?
• You probably remember that the underlined words are called adverbs that are used to describe or give
more information about verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Unlike other adverbs, these ones are
unique because they help express modality and that is why they are called modal adverbs.
• The modal adverbs used in the given sentences describe the adjective and modal verbs or expressions
found in each sentence. In Sentence A, the modal adverb ‘surely’ describes the modal expression ‘shall
win’. It adds the information that without a doubt, Carl will win. The modal adverb ‘willingly’ in Sentence
B describes the adjective ‘happy’. It helps to express that the students are ready to help Carl.
Furthermore, the modal adverb ‘likely’ describes the modal expression ‘will vote’. It gives more
information that there is a chance that the students will vote for Carl.
Read the table below that shows more examples of modal adverbs, their meanings, and sample sentences.
What adjectives, modal verbs, or expressions are described by the modal adverbs in the given sample
sentences? What have you observed with the modal adverbs?
Are they similar to modal verbs and modal nouns? If yes, how are they similar? If not, how are they different?
• In the given sample sentences, the underlined words are the modal adverbs and the italicized words are
the words they describe. Most of the modal adverbs describe how something is done and how someone
feels about something.
• They are similar to modal verbs and modal nouns because they express modality. However, they differ
in form and the way they are used in sentences. Modal verbs are used to add information to the main
verb. On the other hand, modal nouns name a quality, state, or condition that state modality while
modal adverbs describe or give more meaning or information to verbs and adjectives.
• Noticeably, most modal adverbs have equivalent modal noun forms. Some of the examples are possibly
and possibility, necessarily and necessity, certainly and certainty, etc.

The Story of the Aged Mother
A Japanese Folktale (An excerpt)
By Matsuo Basho
Long ago, in a tiny village in Japan, there lived a young farmer and his old mother. They lived well but
simply until the cruel governor declared a wicked law. He said, “I have no desire for old people in my village.
They are weak and cannot do work!” The law was to put the people aging 75 years and above to be abandoned in
the mountain. The cruel governor also added, “All who will disobey the law must be put to death together with
their old relatives.” This law made the young farmer very sad for his mother was very old. Though he loved his
mother, he must obey the governor.
The young farmer carried his mother to the mountain with a heavy heart. On their way to the mountain, the
mother dropped small twigs as markers to help her son get back. When the farmer bade farewell, she advised
him to return home with the aid of the twigs. This made the son make up his mind to take his mother back
home. Filled with dread, he hid his mother in his home. Their kitchen, where he keeps their food, became his
mother’s new place to live.
Time passed, and the farmer was beginning to feel safe when the governor had announced a demand to all
of his people that he wanted a rope of ash. Nobody in the village could make one, it was impossible. The farmer
became anxious with the governor’s demand, so he asked his mother if she knew how to make one. His old
mother, filled with the wisdom she gained from her years of living, had smiled to show her son that the
governor’s demand is not impossible. She said, “Son, make a rope from a twisted straw.” Then she added,
“Stretch it on a flat stone and burn it there on a windless night.”
The farmer did what his mother told him, and amazingly it worked. He told the other villagers that he could
make the governor’s demand. Immediately, the farmer was sent to the governor’s place to show him the rope of
ashes. The governor became happy to see how smart his people are from accomplishing a difficult task. To his
joy, he asked the farmer where he got his wisdom. This made the farmer tremble in fear and immediately bowed
down to the governor, begging for forgiveness. The farmer had told him about his mother and how he was able
to create the rope of ashes.
The governor became silent and had thought deeply for a while. At that moment, he abolished his law on
abandoning the old people. He would not kill the elders anymore because they had great wisdom.

Hi! I am Luis. May I share to you the activities that I enjoy doing
at home with my family? In the morning, I help my sister in
doing some household chores. After that, I could use my gadget
for two hours. I share it with my siblings as we play our favorite
online games and explore educational videos. In the afternoon,
I would go out with my father to the nearby river to catch fish.
Then, I would help my mother in the garden by watering the
plants and uprooting some unwanted weeds. Expecting that my
cousins might come to play basketball with me, I need to ask
her permission to join them. Indeed, my day would not be
complete without these activities. How about you? What do you
enjoy doing at home with your family?

In your previous lesson, you have learned about the use of Modals. Let us see how well you remember their
important concepts and functions.
Review It!
Read the sentences below and study the underlined words and the ideas that they express.
1. I would rather spend and enjoy my journey here on earth because life is short.
2. If only I could talk to God, I would ask Him to heal our land. I would also request that peace on earth
would prevail.
3. As Filipinos, we must obey the laws of the land. In addition, we must respect and love one another.
4. Due to weather disturbance, we may experience occasional rains. Therefore, we must always bring
our umbrellas with us.
5. No one can visit patients under quarantine even though they need the care and support from their
families.
These modals express different uses; giving preference, stating probability, expressing obligation, indicating
possibility, giving prohibition, asking permission, seeking advice, showing ability, making request,
demonstrating willingness, and manifesting lack of necessity.

To help you better understand the concept on transition signals, you need to deepen your knowledge and
understanding by discovering what the topic is all about. Study the given sentences below.
In sentence number one, the transition signal ‘and’ is used to connect two incidents equally. While in sentence
number two, the transition signal ‘but’ introduces the opposite ideas.
Take note that simple conjunctions serve different purposes. Conjunctions that join words, phrases, or clauses
together are the most basic transition signals. The words ‘and’ and ‘but’ are examples of transition signals.
Transition signals are words and phrases that connect ideas of sentences and paragraphs for coherence. They
also indicate building up new idea or thought or compare ideas or draw conclusions.
Transition signals are of different types and each type helps to make certain connections.
Example:
Before you go to the stadium to watch your favorite basketball game, make sure that you have
your snacks and video camera that you will use during the game. Later, you will find it enjoyable
when you can simultaneously eat while videotaping.
Example:
Since you have been a consistent honor student and a skillful one, therefore, there would be a
possibility that you would graduate cum laude or be cited with technical skills award in college. As
a result, you would have a better chance to find a job or be an entrepreneur, because some
companies would prefer those applicants with impressive school records or those with technical
skills.
Example:
Mateo loves vegetables. Truly, he is happy to eat those every day - specifically, ‘pinakbet’,
‘chopsuey’, and vegetable salads. To demonstrate his love for vegetables, Mateo is planning a
vegetable socials for all his friends.
Example:
Gabriel loves, respects, and obeys his parents. Moreover, he helps in the household chores if he is
not studying. Furthermore, he is grateful that his parents are very supportive in every task he
does.
Example:
I love going to school; that is, I like it very much. In other words, I want to learn more. To put it
another way, a school is one of the best places I need to go for me to learn better.
7. Qualification presents conditions or intentions:
Example:
With what was possibly the greatest fight of all times, the Filipino in the front lines faced the
pandemic with bravery. They almost gave up but recovered. With this in mind, Filipinos have
proven time and again to be resilient.
Example:
All the documents have been presented and, as can be seen, the facts are clear. Given this point, it
is time to correct the practices that do not conform to the policies. In the long run, the nation and
its people will benefit from this change.

What have you noticed with the sentences? Have you observed that they also express feelings and ideas? In this
module, you will learn other words, aside from transition signals, that can be used to express your feelings and
ideas.
ORGANIZE
As a human being, it is normal for us to encounter different situations. Our emotional responses to these
situations can be positive or negative. However, regardless of what they are, knowing how to properly express
our thoughts is the real challenge.
In this part of the module, you will do a self-reflection on how you respond to different situations given in the
activity below.
If you have noticed, the words must and must not are used in the activity to show your response. The word must
is one of the words that you can use to express emotions or opinions in order to convince or persuade.
This part of the module will teach you different verbs that you can use to communicate your emotions or
opinions to certain issues.
Read the dialogue between Noel and Nanay. Notice the underlined words.
A. LINKING VERBS
The first type of verb is the linking verb. The table below shows its function and examples.
1. I am afraid that you will get sick. Besides that, we are still under ECQ.
(In the first sentence, the verb am is used to tell that the speaker is afraid on the possibility of the person
getting sick. Stating a feeling helps in persuading someone.)
3. No, Noel. I strongly disagree. You should follow what I tell you.
(The verb disagree states the stand of the speaker. Emphasizing a stand is a good way in influencing someone
to agree with your ideas.)
B. MODALS
These are verbs that express suggestion or recommendation which is an effective way to convince or persuade.
To further clarify the difference of each modal, they are arranged from weakest to strongest in terms of
expressing a suggestion or recommendation. Further, the table below shows their functions and examples.
Now, you will see these verbs used in a paragraph. Below is a persuasive paragraph that uses linking verbs and
modals to show emotions and opinions.
You are responsible for your own health. You had better take care of your body, or you will
suffer the consequences. If you get sick, you will not be able to work, play, or do anything that
you like. Therefore, you must take care of your health.
Self-check:
After the reading about verbs, do a self-reflection by answering the following questions:
• Have you learned how to use verbs to express your opinions to certain issues?
• In what way can linking verbs and modals help express your emotional responses?
Previously, you have learned that adjectives describe nouns and pronouns. This time, you will learn a set of
adjectives that helps tell your emotions on a certain issue.
Below are the adjectives that are used to show positive and negative emotions.
Take a look at how these adjectives are used in sentences to convey emotions.
2. Some teenagers are regretful that they were not able to spend time with their friends before the
Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).
(The word regretful emphasizes the teenagers’ negative emotion on not being able to be with their friends
before the ECQ.)
1.As Filipinos, we love to be with our family during dinner time to share our best or worst
experiences of the day. 2.However, this practice has been gradually disappearing because of
technology. 3.Young people would rather use social media to express themselves for they are
embarrassed to share their feelings to their parents. 4. On the other hand, parents are somehow
guilty of contributing to the distance felt by their children for some of them are too busy with
work such as taking office calls during meal time, checking emails, or surfing the internet. 5.
Because of these, there is lesser time for families to spend together. 6. This must change. 7. We
must not let technology affect the time we spend with them. 8. Doing this will create better and
stronger relationships.
In the 1st sentence, the adjectives best and worst are used to describe the positive and negative
circumstances that a person could experience in a day.
In the 3rd sentence, the word embarrassed is used to describe the feelings of young people towards sharing
their thoughts to their parents.
In the 4th sentence, the word guilty is used to describe the feeling of parents in being too busy at work even
when at home.
In the last sentence, the words better and stronger are used to motivate the reader to create a bond with
their parents rather than spending time with technology.
Self-check:
After reading the discussion on adjectives, do a self-reflection by answering the following questions:
• Have you realized the importance of using adjectives in expressing positive and negative emotions?
• Are you now ready to use adjectives in giving your responses to a certain issue?
You have learned that adjectives help express emotions. However, there are also other describing words such as
adverbs. In your previous lessons, you have encountered that adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other
adverbs. They are commonly classified into time, place, manner, degree, and frequency.
However, in this lesson, you will focus more on adverbs that help you express your thoughts and emotions
convincingly about an issue. They are called adverbs of opinion.
ADVERBS OF OPINION
This type of adverbs emphasizes the intensity of your stand or opinion. They help clarify your belief about a
certain issue. The following are the commonly used adverbs of opinion:
Take note on how some of the adverbs above are used in the following sentences:
3. Various organizations are evidently doing their best to help the frontliners.
(The word evidently emphasizes the observation of the speaker that organizations are helping the
frontliners. The adverb is placed in between the word are and doing. This means that they can be placed
between an auxiliary verb and a main verb.)
Furthermore, adverbs of opinion can also be in a form of phrases. The table below shows some of the
commonly used phrases that function as an adverb of opinion.
Juan is kind and helpful to his classmates. Without a doubt, all of them like him.
(The phrase without a doubt shows the firm feelings of the speaker that the classmates of Juan like him. The
phrase is placed at the beginning of the sentence. This means that they are usually placed at the beginning of a
sentence and followed by a comma.)
This time observe how these adverbs are used in a paragraph. Notice how the writerused them to convince the
reader about the importance of sharing ideas with other people.
You probably never met a person who truly knows everything. One person can’t be
knowledgeable about all things. You surely need others to help you understand yourself and the
world. Hence, sharing ideas with other people is important. This can actually help you enrich your
knowledge. But, you also need to remember that you have to be open-minded and respectful to
the ideas shared to you. Being able to objectively understand the thoughts and emotions of other
people is a good way to improve yourself.
Self-check:
After reading the discussion about adverbs of opinion, do a self-reflection by answering the following
questions:
• Have you encountered some of these adverbs of opinion while reading other texts?
• How do these words help in intensifying your stand about an issue?
