Quarter 4, Week 6 - Taking A Stand

 

Our last topic was about Taking A Stand. Taking a stand is expressing your thoughts or opinions, whether you're demonstrating your unwavering commitment to a cause. Something's support, defense, or opposition. It is taking a hard stance on a topic and defending it your beliefs or point of view. In an essay, taking a stand can take several shapes. Making a "claim" (a statement of what should be), which is the most prevalent sort of opinionated thesis statement, is one example. Also Thesis Statement, A thesis statement clearly identifies the topic being discussed, includes the points raised in relation to the topic, and is written for a specific audience. It presents the major message of the paper and a short summary of the points you make. It is usually found at the end of the first paragraph or the introduction to prepare the readers by generating interest in the topic. It also facilitates understanding.

The activities are easy and you can do them right away. I learned that there are 3 parts to a Thesis Statement. The first part is the Topic, which tells the readers what the paper is about. However, it must narrowly define the topic, or it will be too broad. The second part is Stand / Stance / Claim, which means your assertion or your opinion. It is what you think of the issue/topic, whether you agree, disagree, support, or contradict. The third part is Reasons / Significance / Solutions, which are the “because” factors. These are the details that will support or explain your stand/claim. To do this, ask yourself why you are making that stand/claim. In addition, we also discuss the new Anglo-American Writer and he is Arthur Miller. His famous work is "Death of a Salesman". Also, the new figure of speech is 'Alliteration'. There's none I find difficult, the highlight of the blog is knowing the parts of the Thesis Statement.

Quarter 4, Week 5 - Making Predictions

 

Our last topic was Making Predictions. A prediction is a guess about what will happen next in a text or piece of information. When making a prediction, you must first create an inference based on the text or material. What has already taken place? Are there any hints from the author? Then think about what you already know. What do you think will happen next, based on the facts in the text and your own experiences? You will be able to produce meaningful and logical predictions if you combine the two requirements. 

The activities are easy and you can do them right away. I learned that Making predictions is a technique in which readers use information from a book (such as titles, headings, illustrations, and diagrams) as well as their own personal experiences to predict what they will read next (or what comes next). Also, Predicting helps students build critical thinking abilities by forcing them to use their existing knowledge, experiences, and observations to predict what will happen. In addition, we also discuss the new Anglo-American Writer and she is Shirley Jackson. Her famous book is "The Lottery". Also, the new figure of speech we learn is 'Antimetabole'. There's none I find difficult, the highlight of the blog is that predicting is part of our life, and anyone can predict.

Quarter 4, Week 4 - Verb Tense Consistency

 

Our topic was Verb Tense Consistency. The term "verb tense consistency" refers to the usage of the same tense throughout a sentence. The goal is to stay away from having multiple tenses used to describe a single time period. It is if you are referring to multiple time periods. It's best to start a new clause or even a new phrase. Verbs are frequently used in English grammar to show or denote the time when an event occurred. These verbs take on many forms to convey the timing of an action, event, or condition by altering their form. Verb tense indicates when the activity took place. Past, present, and future are the most prevalent tenses. The verb aspect, on the other hand, alludes to the passage of time. The aspect determines whether or not the action takes place in a certain location. a single period of time or continuous or recurring action. 

The activities are easy and you can do them right away. I learned the different Tenses of Verbs. The first one is Present Tense. The present tense and the base form of a verb are the same, except for the third person singular (he, she, or it), which adds –s or –es. The second type is Past Tense, the past tense expresses an action that has already occurred. In regular verbs, the past tense is formed by adding –ed or –d to the base form. The third type is Future Tense, the future tense expresses an action that will take place in the future. The future tense is formed by adding will to the base form. We also do spelling and learn a new Anglo American Writer and he is Stephen King. His famous book is "The Shining". Also, the new figure of speech is 'Assonance'. There's none I find difficult, the highlight of the blog is knowing the basic tenses.
