Module 2 Valuing Others and their Circumstances

Lesson 1

FINDING OTHER’S GREATNESS

We forge lasting relationships with others when we recognize their greatness instead of their weaknesses. This is an
essential step in becoming connected with them. As the lesson unfolds, think of the question,
“What is greatness?”
- The quality of being great; something we yearn for, we dream. Greatness will be achieved through an enormous
hard work over of what you wish for an extended period.

Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have….greatness thrust upon
them.
-William Shakespeare

Explanation: The quote means that every person is destined to be great at some point in their life and they should not be
afraid of carrying that type of responsibility but there are some people are born great while others have to work at it.

READING TEXT 1 Auld Lang Syne

“The song Auld Lang Syne is referring to the new beginnings and changing times. It’s about letting go of the past and old
relationships.”
Motive Question: How do we celebrate the “greatness” of the people we know?
- We can celebrate the greatness of the people we know y not forgetting the things they did that made them
great and also having a small feast will do.

READING TEXT 2 I Think Continually Of Those Who Were Truly Great- Stephen Spender
Motive Question: Who do we consider truly great?
- The poem I Think Continually of Those Who are Truly Great by Stephen Spender has an attempt to describe
what makes a person “truly” great. The poem consider soldier as truly great not only the war men but also the
people who selflessly fights for what they believe in.

The bubbling brook breaks.
 ALLITERATION
Alliteration is the repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables
of an English language phrase.
 ASSONANCE
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming within phrase or sentences, and together with
alliteration and consonance serves as one of the building blocks of verse. Assonance is a rhyme, the identity of which depends
merely on the vowel sounds.
 CONSONANCE
Consonance is a poetic device characterized by the repetition of the same consonant two or more times in short succession, as
in "pitter patter" or in "all mammals named Samare clammy“
 IMAGERY
Imagery refers to the "pictures" which we perceive with our mind's eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin, and through which we
experience the "duplicate world" created by poetic language.
 REPETITION
Repetition is a central part of poetry that adds to the enjoyment of a poem. Words , phrases , or lines are repeated to serve a
purpose.
Examples: Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they’re not shining.

INFOGRAPHIC
Information graphics or info graphics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to
present complex information quickly and clearly. They can improve cognition by utilizing graphics to enhance the human
visual system’s ability to see patterns and trends. The process of creating info graphics can be referred to as data
visualization, information design, or information architecture.

What is an adverb of place?

- These adverbs always answer one important question: Where?
- An adverb of place always talks about the location where the action of the verb is being carried out.
- Adverbs of place are normally placed after a sentence’s object or main verb.
 - Adverbs of place can be directional: Up,
down, around, away, north, southeast
- Adverbs of place can refer to distances:
Nearby, far away, miles apart
- An adverb of place can indicate an object’s
position in relation to another object:
Below, between, above, behind, through,
around and so forth.
- Many adverbs of place indicate movement
in a particular direction and end in the
letters “-ward or -wards”: Toward, forward,
backward, homeward, westward,
eastwards onwards

NARRATIVE PARAGRAPH
A narrative paragraph tells a story. It shows
readers what happened at a particular
place and time.

SPEECH PREPARATION
1. Vocal Variety: The Four P’s
Power refers to the volume you project.
Pitch is the frequency of the sound you emit.
Pace is your speaking rate.
Pause is a temporary stop in action or speech.
2. Gestures / Body Language
Gesture is a movement of part of the body, especially a hand or the head, to express an idea or meaning.
3. Staging
“Great speakers move around the speaking area with purpose.”
Staging your speech means utilizing the 3-dimensional space around you in the most effective way possible.

If you’re going to order the 3 (Speech Preparation) from the most to least important, what and why?
- Vocal Variety- This is the most important in speech preparation because the audience needs to hear your voice
because the message comes from your mouth and it needs to be heard.
- Gestures-Gestures is important because this can make you and your speech interesting to watch.
- Staging- This is important because making use of the area can make you a great speaker.

Module 2 Valuing Others and their Circumstances

Lesson 2

Observing Others’ Circumstances

In the previous lesson, you have explored the concept on greatness. As you engage in the tasks in this
lesson, ask yourself,
“How do I view other people’s circumstances?”
- I view others circumstances as a challenge to them to face that can make them and their life
change.
READING TEXT 1: The Man With the Hoe by Edwin Markham

Motive Question: What circumstance is the persona faced with?

- Today the farmers face a problem about their low salary. Their salary is not enough for their
family, for their food and for other expenses.

SONNET
- is a poetic form which originated in Italy; Giacomo Da Lentini is credited with its invention.
- sonnet is derived from the Italian word sonetto a little poem, song
- Latin sonus a sound
- By the thirteenth century it signified a poem of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme
scheme and specific structure.
- Writers of sonnets are sometimes called "sonneteers", although the term can be
used derisively.

What is a Sonnet?
- It has 14 lines, and is written in iambic pentameter.
Two types of sonnet:
- Italian (or Petrarchan)
- English (or Shakespearean)
*The type of sonnet is determined by its rhyme scheme.

Petrarchan (Italian) Sonnet

- named after the 14th century Italian poet Francesco Petrarch
- Italian, sonnet has an octave (or octet) of eight lines followed by a sestet of 6 lines.
- patterns for the octet are: abbaabba and abbacddc
- sestet has a pattern of defdef or dedede.

Shakespearean (English) Sonnet

- this form was used by William Shakespeare
- differs from the Petrarchan sonnet in both its structure and its rhyme scheme
- three quatrains of four lines
- followed by a couplet of two lines
- Shakespearean sonnets have a rhyme pattern that never varies: abab, cdcd, efef, gg

Addressing this jobs challenge requires meeting a dual challenge: expanding formal sector
employment even faster while rapidly raising the incomes of those informally employed.

Adverb of manner
An adverb of manner tells us how something is done or happens. Most adverbs of manner end in –ly
such as badly, happily, sadly, slowly, quickly, and others that include well, hard, fast, etc.
The brothers were badly injured in the fight.
They had to act fast to save the others floating in the water.
At the advanced age of 88, she still sang very well.
Word Formation: Derivation and Back-Formation
- is the process of creating new words
PROCESSES
1. Derivation 8. Acronyms
2. Back-formation 9. Eponyms
3. Compounding 10. Coinages
4. Clipping 11. Nonce words
5. Blending 12. Borrowing
6. Conversion 13. Calquing
7. Abbreviations

Derivation is the word formation process in which a derivational affix attaches to the base form of a word to create a
new word. Affixes, which include prefixes and suffixes, are bound morphemes.
Morphemes are the smallest linguistic unit of a language with semantic meaning.

Prefixes Suffixes
a- – without, not -able – sense of being
co- – together -er – agent
de- – opposite, negative, removal, separation -ful – characterized by
dis- –opposite, negative -fy – make, become, cause to be
en- – cause to be -ism – action or practice, state or condition
ex- – former, previous, from -less – lack of
in- – negative, not -ly – -like
non- – absence, not -ology – study, science
re- – again, repeatedly -ship – condition, character, skill
un- – negative, not, opposite, reversal -y – characterized by, inclination, condition

Grammatical Form Retaining Derivation Grammatical Form Changing Derivation

verb to verb: appear → disappear verb to noun: preserve → preservation
noun to noun: friend → friendship noun to verb: code → codify
adjective to adjective: practical → impractical adjective to adverb: quick → quickly
Back-formation is the word formation process in which an actual or supposed derivational affix detaches from the base
form of a word to create a new word.

Original – Back-formation
babysitter – babysit obsessive – obsess
donation – donate procession – process
gambler – gamble resurrection – resurrect
hazy – haze sassy – sass
moonlighter – moonlight television – televise

Compounding is the word formation process in which two or more lexemes combine into a single new word. Compound
words may be written as one word or as two words joined with a hyphen.
Examples:
noun-noun compound: note + book → notebook
adjective-noun compound: blue + berry → blueberry
verb-noun compound: work + room → workroom
noun-verb compound: breast + feed → breastfeed
verb-verb compound: stir + fry → stir-fry
adjective-verb compound: high + light → highlight
verb-preposition compound: break + up → breakup
preposition-verb compound: out + run → outrun
adjective-adjective compound: bitter + sweet → bittersweet
preposition-preposition compound: in + to → into

Clipping is the word formation process in which a word is reduced or shortened without changing the meaning of the
word. Clipping differs from back-formation in that the new word retains the meaning of the original word.
EXAMPLES:
advertisement – ad memorandum – memo
alligator – gator photograph – photo
examination – exam public house – pub
gasoline – gas raccoon – coon
gymnasium – gym reputation – rep
influenza – flu situation comedy – sitcom
laboratory – lab telephone – phone
mathematics – math

FOUR TYPES OF CLIPPING

- Back clipping is removing the end of a word as in gas from gasoline.
- Fore-clipping is removing the beginning of a word as in gator from alligator.
- Middle clipping is retaining only the middle of a word as in flu from influenza.
- Complex clipping is removing multiple parts from multiple words as in sitcom from situation comedy.

Blending is the word formation process in which parts of two or more words combines to create a new word whose
meaning is often a combination of the original words. Blended words are also referred to as portmanteaus.
Examples:
advertisement + entertainment → advertainment prim + sissy → prissy
biographical + picture → biopic simultaneous + broadcast → simulcast
breakfast + lunch → brunch smoke + fog → smog
chuckle + snort → chortle Spanish + English → Spanglish
cybernetic + organism → cyborg spoon + fork → spork
guess + estimate → guesstimate telephone + marathon → telethon
hazardous + material → hazmat web + seminar → webinar
motor + hotel → motel

Conversion is the word formation process in which a word of one grammatical form becomes a word of another
grammatical form without English any changes to spelling or pronunciation.
Noun to Verb Conversion- is also referred to as verbification or verbing, as humorously discussed by Calvin and Hobbes.
access – to access eye – to eye knife – to knife
bottle – to bottle fiddle – to fiddle microwave – to microwave
can – to can fool – to fool name – to name
closet – to closet Google – to google pocket – to pocket
email – to email host – to host salt – to salt
shape – to shape ship – to ship spear – to spear
For example:
My grandmother bottled (verb) the juice and canned (verb) the pickles.
My grandmother put the juice in a bottle (noun) and the pickles in a can (noun).
She microwaved (verb) her lunch.
She heated her lunch in the microwave (noun).
The doctor eyed (verb) my swollen eye (noun).

Verb to Noun Conversion- is also referred to as nominalization

to alert – alert to experience – experience to rise – rise
to attack – attack to fear – fear to run – run
to call – call to feel – feel to sleep – sleep
to clone – clone to hope – hope to start – start
to command – command to increase – increase to turn – turn
to cover – cover to judge – judge to visit – visit
to cry – cry to laugh – laugh

For example:
The guard alerted (verb) the general to the attack (noun).
The enemy attacked (verb) before an alert (noun) could be sounded.
Sometimes one just needs a good cry (noun).
The baby cried (verb) all night.
We need to increase (verb) our productivity to see an increase (noun) in profits.

Abbreviation is the word formation process in which a word or phrase is shortened. Initialisms are a type of
abbreviation formed by the initial letters of a word or phrase. Abbreviation is related to both the word formation
processes of clipping and blending.

Written Abbreviations Spoken-Written Abbreviations

Apr. – April A.M. – ante meridiem [in the morning]
cm – centimeter(s) B.C.E. – Before Common Era
