WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

At the end of this module students are expected to:
(Discuss the importance of Context)
- Context provides meaning and clarity to the intended message. Context clues in
a literary work create a relationship between the writer and reader, giving a
deeper understanding of the intent and direction of the writing.
(Identify the difference between Hypertext and Intertext)
- Intertextuality is a linguistic network connecting the existing text with other
preexisting or future, potential texts. It guides reading. Third, hypertextuality
contextualizes the text, analyzing literature in the light of what is not literature
but what may lead to the creation of it.

WHAT I KNOW
The Velveteen Tabbit by Margery Williams
For a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor. No one
thought very much about him. He was naturally shy. Being only made of velveteen,
some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him. The mechanical toys were very
superior and
looked down upon everyone else. They were full of modern ideas, and they
pretended
they were real. The model boat, who had lived through two seasons and lost most
of his paint, caught the tone from them. He never missed an opportunity of
referring to his rigging in technical terms. The Rabbit could not claim to be a
model of anything, for he didn’t know that real rabbits existed. He thought they
were all stuffed with sawdust like himself. He understood that sawdust was quite
out-of-date and should never be mentioned in modern circles.

LESSON4 READING&WRITING

WHAT'S MORE
Let’s Test: On the space provided below, define the pattern development in your
own words/understanding. Support your answer by giving example.
SEMANTIC CLUES - semantic clues refer to the meaning in language that assists
in comprehending texts, including words, speech, signs, symbols, and other
meaning-bearing forms. Semantic cues involve the learners' prior knowledge of
language, text, and visual media, and their prior life experiences.
SYNTACTIC CLUES - Syntactic clues relate to the sentence structure or grammar
of the English language. It involve word order, rules and patterns of language
(grammar), and punctuation. For example, the position a word holds in a sentence
will cue the listener or reader as to whether the word is a noun or a verb.
COMPARISON OR CONTRAST CLUES - A type of context clue that provides
information about an unknown word using clues about something similar or
something different.Comparison and contrast is another type of context clue that
can help you determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word. With this type of clue,
the meaning of an unknown word can be unlocked by comparing it with another
key word.
EXPLANATION CLUE - Sometimes a word's or phrase's meaning is explained
immediately after its use. Example: "Haberdashery, which is a store that sells men’s
clothing, is becoming more
common today.”
APPOSITIVE CLUE - An appositive is a word or. phrase that defines or explains an
unfamiliar word that. comes before it.Example: The tragedy of the house fire was a
the house fire was a disastrous event.
DEFINITION CLUE - Sometimes a word's or phrase's meaning is explained
immediately after its use. Example: "Haberdashery, which is a store that sells men's
clothing, is becoming more common today.”
HYPERTEXT CLUE - a way of writing and showing text on a website or computer
document so that if you click on that text, you will go to a different website, a
different part of the document, etc. An example of hypertext is the word
"Facebook" that links to the Facebook page.
INTERTEXT CLUE - Intertextuality is the shaping of a text's meaning by another
text. It is the interconnection between similar or related works of literature that
reflect and influence an audience's interpretation of the text. Example: The Lion,
the Witch, and the Wardrobe (By C. S. Lewis)In this case, C. S. Lewis adapts the
idea of Christ’s crucifixion in his fantasy novel, The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe. He, very shrewdly, weaves together the religious and entertainment
themes for a children’s book. Lewis uses an important event from The New
Testament, transforming it into a story about redemption. In doing so, he uses
Edmund, a character that betrays his savior, Aslan. Generally, the motive of this
theme is to introduce other themes, such as evil actions, losing innocence, and
redemption.
