Thank you for participating in our short activity,

Class. Now, based on our activity earlier, what do Understanding Types of Writing and Text Types
you think is our topic for today?

II. PRESENTATION
Our topic for today is about understanding types of
writing and text types.

But before that, everyone, kindly read what is

expected from you at the end of our lesson this
morning.

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able At the end of the lesson, the students should be able

Alright. Thank you, Students.

Let us start our discussion by giving meaning to the

word “Text”. Who can give me his/her idea about Sarah: Ma’am. Text are the things that we read on
text? Yes, Sarah? books.

Very good! Sarah is correct. Text is something that

we read on books. But, text doesn’t revolve on
books alone, text is everywhere.

I have here the definition of a text for you to further

understand what is it all about. Who wants to read? (Students raised their hands)

Okay, Mark, kindly read.

What is a text? Mark: What is a text?

- A text is a piece of writing that you read and - A text is a piece of writing that you read and create.
create. The kind of text depends on their purpose The kind of text depends on their purpose and
and meaning. meaning.

Alright. Thank you, Mark.

So, it says here that it is a writing that you read and
create. These are the writings of people that we see
everywhere.

As what I’ve said earlier, text is everywhere. We can

see it everywhere. Even on the internet. By just
scrolling on Facebook we can immediately see texts
made by a lot of people.
Based on its definition, we can also create our own
text.
In creating a text, we need to consider its purpose
and meaning. That is why there are six types of text.

Do you have any idea what are does? None, Ma’am.

Let’s go back to our first activity earlier. If you can

still remember the words that you used to guess a
text, those are the types of text that we are going to
tackle this morning.

Again, what are does? Yes, Kurthnie? Kurthnie: Ma’am, the words that we have assembled
earlier are Narrative, Persuasive, Expository,
Explanatory, Factual, and Personal Recount.

What are the different types of text? What are the different types of text?
1. Narrative Literature 1. Narrative Literature
2. Persuasive Text 2. Persuasive Text
3. Expository text 3. Expository text
4. Explanatory text 4. Explanatory text
5. Factual Recount 5. Factual Recount
6. Personal Recount 6. Personal Recount

Very good! So, those are the six types of text.

Let us start with the narrative. Who can give his/her
idea about narrative or narrative literature? Yes, Andrea: Ma’am. Narrative is when you are telling a
Andrea? story.

Alright. Andrea said that it is when someone is

telling a story. Let us see if her idea is correct. Who
want’s to read the definition of narrative literature?
Yes, April?

What is narrative literature? April: What is narrative literature?

- Narrative literature is a kind of text that is used - Narrative literature is a kind of text that is used to
to describe an experience, event, or sequence of describe an experience, event, or sequence of events
events in the form of a story. in the form of a story.

Okay. So, based on this definition, Andrea is correct

that narrative is about telling a story or when
someone decribes their experience through a form of
a story. It also focuses on a specific participant
which tell story with complication or problematic
events with resolutions to solve the problem.

Who can give me an example of a narrative text? Nina: Ma’am, an example of a narrative text are
Yes, Nina? stories.

You are correct! Stories are examples of a narrative

text.
Aside from stories, we also have traditional tales,
myths, legends and contemporary creations,
biographies (depending on the text structure),
drama,
diaries, science fiction, etc.

Narrative text has different purpose and that is to

entertain, to gain and holds reader’s interests;
however sometimes in some novels or stories it
examines universal ideas, events or issues.

There are elements or parts of a narrative text these

are exposition, complication, and resolution. I’ll
explain each of them for you to understand.

Let’s have first the exposition.

Exposition is the background of the information Exposition is the background of the information
necessary for a reader to understand the story. necessary for a reader to understand the story.

In a narrative essay, the exposition can be presented

in two ways. If the essay is a story itself, the
exposition in the opening paragraphs reveals setting
and situation through dialogue, a character's
thoughts or words, documents such as letters --
epistolary tales are a fascinating narrative form -- or
through the author's
narration. If the essay is informing readers about
a story, the exposition presents the essay's thesis
about the story in an opening paragraph.

In short, exposition is the opening paragraph of a

text.

Next is complication.

The complication, often in the form of an obstacle The complication, often in the form of an obstacle
(physical or emotional) that needs to be overcome, (physical or emotional) that needs to be overcome,
creates tension or excitement for the reader of the creates tension or excitement for the reader of the
story. story.

The last element is resolution.

The resolution is the part of the story's plot where The resolution is the part of the story's plot where
the main problem is resolved or worked out. the main problem is resolved or worked out.

The resolution occurs after the falling action and

is typically where the story ends. Another term for
the resolution is "dénouement," which comes from
the French term dénoué, meaning "to untie."

Alright. Those are the three elements of a narrative

literature. I have here an example of a narrative text.

Narrative text Example: There was a young boy Narrative text Example: There was a young boy
named Fred. He was such a happy boy because he named Fred. He was such a happy boy because he
loved his mom and dad. One day, his mom and dad loved his mom and dad. One day, his mom and dad
told him they would take him fishing. He was so told him they would take him fishing. He was so
excited. They fished all day and had the best time! excited. They fished all day and had the best time!

Do you have any questions or clarifications about it? None, Ma’am.

If none, let’s proceed to the second type of a text

which is the persuasive text. Are you familiar with Yes, Ma’am.
it?

I am certain that you are already familiar with

persuasive since we’ve already encountered it in our
past lessons.

Who can give me their idea about persuasive?Yes, Jomar: Ma’am. Based on our past lesson, persuasive
Jomar? is when you convince people about something.

Very good! Persuasive is to convince people about a

certain idea. Now, let us see how does persuasive
related to a text. Who wants to read its definition?
Yes, Hannah?

What is persuasive text? Hannah: What is persuasive text?

- A Persuasive text is a form of non-fiction writing - A Persuasive text is a form of non-fiction writing
which aims to convince the reader of a certain point which aims to convince the reader of a certain point
of view. of view.

Alright. Thank you, Hannah.

Again. Persuasive is to convince which is correct

and persuasive text from the word itself “text”, you
are going to convince people through writing.

Who can give me an example of a persuasive text? Anthony: One example of persuasive text, Ma’am is
Yes, Anthony? news paper.

That is correct! News paper is an example of a

persuasive text, because you can convince people
about a certain view by writing it on a news paper

Another example is advertisement, through writing

you are going to convince people to vote or buy a
certain product.
Let me show an example of a text using
advertisement

Persuasive Text example: "Support our local Persuasive text Example: "Support our local farmers!
farmers! Buy fresh, seasonal produce from the Buy fresh, seasonal produce from the farmers market
farmers market and help sustain our community." and help sustain our community."

What is important to consider when you are going to

convince people? Yes, Christine? Christine: Evidence, Ma’am.

You got it right!

Do you have any questions for persuasive text? None, Ma’am.

Alright. Now, let us have the third one which is the
expository text.

Do you have any idea about it? We don’t have an idea, Ma’am.

Okay. Thank you. For you to know what expository

text is, kindly read its definition students at the back.

What is expository text? What is expository text?

- Expository text is a non-fiction in which the - Expository text is a non-fiction in which the author

can be verified as true verified as true.

Expository text is presented through description,

sequence, comparison and contrast, cause and effect,
and problem- solution.

Example for this is an article about climate change.

Expository text Example: Expository text Example:
“Climate change is a significant and long-term “Climate change is a significant and long-term
alteration in the average weather patterns that define alteration in the average weather patterns that define

temperature.”

Why do you think it is an example of an expository Abegail: Ma’am, It is an example of expository text
text? Yes, Abegail? because it explains an information about climate
change.
Very good! That was a brilliant explanation you
have there, Abegail.

Article about climate change is one of the example

of expository text, because the author/s are giving
an information about climate change which is
verified as true.

Another examples are the articles about economy

and politics.

Do you now understand what is expository text? Yes, Ma’am.

That’s good to hear. Now let’s have the explanatory Prechel: I think explanatory text is you are going to
text. Who can share their idea about it? Yes, give an explanation about the information.
Prechel?

Alright. Thank you, Prechel. So, Prechel somewhat

have the idea about explanatory text, its about giving
information. But, what is really explanatory text all
about? To figure that out, Students in front kindly
read its definition.
What is explanatory text? What is explanatory text?

and decision making. decision making.

Since explanatory text is about information that can

be used to perform a task, the material to be read
may include explicit steps to follow or the steps may
be implied in a graphic format.

Explanatory text Example: How a Bicycle Works. Explanatory text Example: How a Bicycle Works.

down.

It is an example of explanatory text because it has a

step by step explaination about how bicycle works.

Can you give me another example of explanatory Jan: Recipe book, Ma’am.
text? Yes, Jan?

That is correct. Why do you think recipe book is an Bryle: Because it has steps on how to cook a specific
example of explanatory text? Yes, Bryle? recipe.

Very well said. Any questions about explanatory None, Ma’am.

text?

Alright. Now, let’s have the factual recount.

Who has an idea? Yes, Shane Shane: I think it’s about facts, Ma’am.

Okay. That is correct! Factual recount is about

facts. But where does it came from? Or, how can it
made? John, kindly read the definition of factual
recount.

What is factual recount? John: What is factual recount?

- Retells events that also happened in the past in real - Retells events that also happened in the past in real
life but may not be about the writer him/herself. life but may not be about the writer him/herself.

Thank you for reading, John.

So, factual recount it about recalling events from the

past or events that already happened, but it does not
talk about the one who wrote it.The writer has not
experienced but has seen or thinks it is interesting to
write about.

One example is a police report.

Factual Recount Example: Factual Recount Example:
“On November 1st, at 2:30 PM, officers responded “On November 1st, at 2:30 PM, officers responded to
to a two-vehicle collision at Main and Oak. Ms. a two-vehicle collision at Main and Oak. Ms. Doe's
Doe's blue sedan and Mr. Smith's red truck sustained blue sedan and Mr. Smith's red truck sustained

stop sign. No injuries were reported; a full report is stop sign. No injuries were reported; a full report is
filed.” filed.”

It is written by the police but it doesn’t talks about

them, it talks about an issue.

Who can give me another example? Yes, Aeshia? Aeshia: Another example is documentaries. Because
it talks about the life of people but not the life of the
one who wrote it.
Superb! Very good answer, Aeshia.

Any questions about factual recount before we None, Ma’am.

proceed to the next?

Alright. Now let’s have the personal recount.

What do you think it is about? Since factual recount Joyce: Ma’am. I think personal recount is about the
doesn’t talks about the writer, how about personal writers experience. Which is different from factual
recount? Yes, Joyce? recount.

You got it right, Joyce! To further understand what

personal recount is, Shean, can you read its
definition.

What is personal recount? Shean: What is personal recount?

- Retells past events that the writer was personally - Retells past events that the writer was personally
involved in. Personal recounts often build an involved in. Personal recounts often build an intimate
intimate relationship between the writer and the relationship between the writer and the reader.
reader.

Alright. Personal recount is a personal moment that

you have experienced or usually retell an event that
the writer was personally involved in.

One example for this is personal letter.

Personal Recount Example: Personal Recount Example:
Hi Grandma, Hi Grandma,

The beach trip was great! The ocean smelled good, The beach trip was great! The ocean smelled good,
and the waves were loud. We made a big sandcastle. and the waves were loud. We made a big sandcastle. I
I saw a dolphin! See you soon. saw a dolphin! See you soon.

Love, Love,
Beb. Beb.

Personal letter is about the involvement of the one

who wrote the letter, it may talks about his/her
experience about a certain event and then wrote it to
share to its reader.

Can you give me another example? Yes, Hygean?

Hygean: Another example ma’am is diary
Why do you think so?
Hygean: Because the writer is involved. It talks about
his/her day or what he/she encountered or did that
Very well said! day.

We are now done with our discussion. Do you have

any questions or clarifications about our lesson for
today? None, Ma’am.
