 Module 6
BECOMING A RESOURCEFUL LEARNER

WHAT THIS MODULE IS ALL ABOUT?

This module, if properly done, can bring out your resourcefulness.

Do you know what resourcefulness is? It is the ability to meet your needs
by making use of what is on hand.

Have you ever wondered how some persons can invent? How
some persons can make new things out of scrap? It is not really amazing
for resourceful persons to do all these all the time.

This is what you can learn from this module, if you study it well and
do the exercises that you are told to do.

WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO LEARN

After reading this module and doing the activities, you are expected to-

 learn how to listen for specific details and warning from weather
bulletins
 know what to do and what not to do during emergencies
 learn how to draft a good speech observing certain criteria
 deduce meaning of words from context clues
 identify sentences according to purpose
 interact with a writer by responding to statements made in texts
 single out resourcefulness as a value to be developed

HOW TO LEARN FROM THIS MODULE
As you read this module and do the exercises, you will develop many
skills, which hopefully, make you a resourceful learner. Before you start
your work, however, there are a few things you need to remember:

1. Read carefully the first two sections of this module. The first section
tells you what this module is all about and what to expect from it.
The second section tells you what you are expected to learn.

2. Never move on to the next page unless you have done what you
are expected to do, in the previous page.

3. Before you start working on the activities, take the pretest in the
Pretest Section.

4. Take note of the skills that each activity is helping you develop.

5. After each activity, go over the Self-Check Section that follows to

find out how well you understood the activity. Take note also of the
items you have missed.

6. Work on the Posttest in the “How much have you Learned”

section.

7. At this point you are now ready for a conference with your teacher.
This is the time when you should ask her about any difficulty or
confusion you may have.

8. Do not write anything on this module. Use a notebook or journal

where you will write your answers.

9. Finally, prepare and collate all your outputs. You are expected to
submit them to your teacher in “What you are expected” to
produce section. This usually is a learning portfolio, containing the
following:

 All your tests

3
  Your semantic web and/or graphic organizers
 Your compositions and Journals.

Week 6

BECOMING A RESOURCEFUL LEARNER

Sometimes when we study, we find that there are things we don’t

understand very well, and therefore we need more details to continue
doing our work. Oftentimes we are at a loss as to where we should get the
needed information. This module will assist you into becoming a
resourceful learner.

Fortunately for us, we live in a “brand new world” where we can find
information anywhere, at anytime without having to search for anything in
volumes and volumes of books in several libraries. We now have the
internet, where, with the click of a gadget, we can be taken anywhere in
the world, and find the information-whatever it is- almost effortlessly.

In this module, we will take a glimpse at the past and look with
optimism towards the future. But just as there are advantages in the “new
age” there are also threats that may destroy the planet we live in – the
planet earth, which is our home.

Aside from learning about the past, and some possible future
scenario, you will also learn many other things like speaking well and
writing for a purpose. You will also be doing reading exercises, where you
will learn how to improve your grammar.

 So read on and learn from this module!

Before you proceed to the activities found in this module,

do the pre-test below:

A.

Directions: Classify the sentences in the conversation below. Tell whether they are

1. Describe an educated Filipino:

An Educated Filipino

Now write a paragraph or two describing an educated Filipino

Now that you have done and self-checked the pre-test, let’s
see if you are or you can be resourceful after doing the different
activities in this module. Set your mind on the lessons and start.
Have a good journey that will prove that you are a good learner;
therefore, you are resourceful.

Activity 1: Kinds of Sentences According to Purpose

In this activity, you will recall the different kinds of sentences that you have studied
during your elementary years. These sentences have different purposes; each of them has
definite purposes. Let’s review them now:

THE KINDS OF SENTENCES ACCORDING TO PURPOSE

 Declarative

The declarative sentence is used to make statements of fact, wish, or intent.

It should always be followed with a period ( . ).
Examples:
The king had three sons.
I wish I could have the Adarna bird.
Don Pedro announced that he would seek the Adarna bird.

 Imperative

The imperative sentence is used to state a command, request, or direction.

The subject is always you. Often, the subject is not expressed; it is understood
to be “you.” The imperative sentence is always followed by a period ( . ).
Examples:
Go away.
Please spare some food.
Take the seven lemons and this knife with you.

 Interrogative

The interrogative sentence asks a question. It is always followed by a

question mark ( ? ).
Examples:
Can’t you see that I’m having a difficult time?
Where is your brother?
What is breaking your heart, dear bird?

 Exclamatory

The exclamatory sentence is used to express strong feelings of surprise,

disgust or other emotions. It is usually followed by an exclamation point ( ! ).
Examples:
What a lovely bird!
What a fragrant flower!
7
What a sweet music!
 All of these sentences are important when we communicate. We should know how
to use them in their proper form. This will depend on the situations we may find ourselves
in. Here are some important reminders regarding punctuation marks we should use after
each type of sentence. Here they are -

1. Put one period only after a declarative sentence. If you add two more,
periods it becomes ellipsis periods (…), the mark used to omit parts of a
sentence.

Example: The king announced the search for the Adarna bird.
The king announced… for the Adarna bird. (Omitted words are
‘the search’)

If the last part of a sentence is omitted, you’ll see four periods.

Example: The king announced the search for…. (Omitted words are ‘the
Adarna bird’)

The first three periods are the ellipsis periods while the last one is the period
to end the declarative sentence.

2. In punctuating an exclamatory sentence, a maximum of only three

exclamation points are allowed. Never put as many exclamation points as
you want.

Let us see how much you can remember about the facts given above. Below are
some exercises for you to do. You may refer to the rules if you find some difficulty in
answering some of the questions.

Task 1

Directions: Below are lines from a calamity victim. Study them carefully and classify the
sentences according to purpose.

Victim: I am appealing to our local officials to please help us all here. We need
financial assistance for the repair of our house. To the private group,
we are in need of blanket and other beddings, toiletries and medicine
for the children. If you can spare more canned goods and instant
noodles, please do so. Thank you very much.

8
 Answer the following questions:

A. If you were the mayor in your town/city what three immediate

questions would you ask the victim?

B. If you were the mayor in your town/city what three requests would
you ask the governor in your province to help you extend aid to the
victim?

C. If you were non-government official (NGO) what three commands

would you give your subordinates to help the victims?

Task 2

Directions: On your paper, write declarative, imperative, interrogative, or exclamatory

to identify each sentence below. Then give the correct ending punctuation.

1. Have you ever been to the “chocolate hills”

2. What an awesome sight they are

3. The “chocolate Hills” are found in Bohol

4. When you go, I hope you will also visit the underground pool

5. Don’t miss the boat ride that will take you to the waterfalls

Task 3

Writing four kinds of sentences.

Write four sentences about a recent school event. Use one

declarative, one imperative, one interrogative, and one exclamatory
sentence. Remember to punctuate each sentence correctly. Then show
your work to your teacher for corrections.

Activity 2: Today’s World and its Future

In this section, we will see how Science and Technology has changed our world.

We live in a fast-changing world. We could barely master the use of a certain

gadget, and another one comes along…newer, more sophisticated, can do many tasks,
and of course, very expensive. Indeed, we need to do a lot of adjustments to this new,
more sophisticated world.

Do you remember the story of Rip van Winkle who slept for twenty years and
woke up to a strange new world? We may wonder what our forefathers must feel if they
will suddenly wake up to our “strange new world.”

Advances in Science and Technology have made our world very different from our
forebears.

Pre-reading

Do you agree or disagree to the following statements? Why? Why not?

 If our forefathers would rise from their graves today, they would
open their eyes wide at the many strange and wonderful things
that science and technology have made possible.

 Before, man had to do a lot of activities slowly and even with

difficulty and his pleasures was limited to reading, going
outdoors on excursions, swimming, dancing, and conversing
with friends in the neighborhood.

 Today, he can stay indoors and witness events he has read as if

they were actually happening or watch events happening at the
same time in distant places.

10
  Science and technology and, of course, man’s ingenuity and
increasing search for the seemingly impossible have made all
these wonders already cited, possible.

 While man builds, he destroys; while he loves deeply, he hates

bitterly; while he can be generous, he can also be greedy to the
extent of disregarding the rights of others.

While Reading

After thinking and reacting to the statements above, read the whole text, “Today’s
World and Its Future.” Be ready to do the exercises that follow. Enjoy reading the text!

Today’s World and Its Future

~Annie Menez~

If our forefathers would rise from their graves today, they would
open their eyes wide at the many strange and wonderful things that
science and technology have made possible.

Imagine the jet planes, electric train, escalators, long distance

telephones, colored TV sets, betamax, different types of home appliances,
medical instruments and industrial machines – all of which have changed
our way of life and even our personalities.

Before, man had to do a lot of activities slowly and even with

difficulty and his pleasures were limited to reading, going outdoors on

11
 excursions, swimming, dancing, conversing with friends in the
neighborhood. Today, he can stay indoors and witness events he has
read as if they were actually happening or events happening at the same
time in distant places. Our ancestors would never have thought of
traveling in a few hours to another continent or of man considered dead
resurrected by transplants. They would wonder even more about
underground and undersea or space explorations.

Science and technology and, of course, man’s ingenuity and

increasing search for the seemingly impossible have made all these
wonders already cited, possible. And if we who are living today, would be
given a chance to live longer in another century, our eyes too would pop
out at the sight or more wonderful things that would be made by scientific
progress, unless…

The big unless – this is what bother’s man - is some things were
invented to destroy. Unless man stops discovering and inventing
destructive weapons that would annihilate humanity and the universe
mankind is our great danger. This is our world today – many
achievements that have made life on earth comfortable and satisfying. At
the same time, however, with man’s greed for power and material wealth,
he has made destructive weapons to destroy his enemy. This is the
reason for the arms race between developed and a few developing
countries. How ironical humanity can be! While man builds, he destroys;
while he loves deeply, he hates bitterly; while he can be generous, he can
also be greedy to the extent of disregarding the rights of others.

But if mankind can forget enmities, rivalries, self-aggrandizement

and even defiance of his Creator, what wonders will we continue to have
and enjoy now and in the generations to come!

For men and women, fired with the love of adventure and
determination to meet challenges, will still be doing seemingly impossible
things.

Task 1

Directions: Identify the following home appliances that have changed people’s lives.

________________ 1. It is called an idiot box. Some are

colored; old ones are black and white.
________________ 2. It keeps food fresh for a long period of
time.
________________ 3. It enables people to communicate even
if they are so far from each other.

12
 ________________ 4. It provides music. It records one’s
voice.
________________ 5. It washes clothes. It could even dry
them.

Task 2

Of the inventions in the box below, which do you think improves man’s life, and which does
not. Put them in proper columns.

* coffee maker * dishwasher * soap dispenser

* rice cooker * electric fan * car
* gun * atomic bomb
* hand grenade * vending machine

Now that you have identified appliances at home and the inventions that
improve life and those that do not, do you agree with Ms. ANNIE MENEZ,
the author of the text you have just read, that science and technology help
a lot in improving people’s lives. However, if men don’t stop discovering
and inventing destructive weapons, wars, and killings and destruction will
persist … and the world will be destroyed? Why? Why not?

Activity 3: What do I want to tell the world?

Pre-writing

In the previous module, you have written an outline for a speech. You have also
written a few paragraphs of a speech. Recall what you have done, and apply them as you
write another speech, called for in this module.

I am sure you still remember the ideas given by Ms. Annie Menez. This time you
will write a speech addressed to mankind. You will discourage them to use the destructive
weapons like guns, bombs, etc. and to STOP WAR. Make sure that you follow the
following steps in writing:

1. Address the destructive weapon users and manufacturer, but

most of all, the people.

2. Give a brief explanation of the points that your speech intends

to discuss.

3. Present at least two to four main points that address the topic at
hand. Since your main points are about avoiding using
destructive weapons to stop war, you should remind the people
(your audience) on the disadvantages of war, and the
destruction it causes mankind.

4. Your main points should be written in the form of topic

sentences; sentences that direct the development of a main
point.

5. Arrange your main points in a logical manner. It can develop

from the most to the least important or from the least to the most
important.

14
 6. Support your points with specific data. Data may be in the form
of facts, opinions, specific examples, situations or incidents.

7. Summarize the main points.

You may begin and end your speech with a question like “Why do we have war? Why
do some people kill? Why do people use destructive weapons?

You have to write a draft, then revise it, write again, revise it again, and so on until you
are satisfied with what you have written. Make sure your speech is also error-free, aside
from being informative and interesting.

While Writing

When you write your draft, remember to-

Consider purpose and audience.

After you have thought about what to speak about, consider your
audience. Is it made up of elementary or high school students like you?
Then think about the level of language that is suitable for your audience.
Suit your vocabulary to your audience, and explain any technical terms
you use.

Research the Topic.

Gather facts, examples, and other peoples’ opinions. You may read books
magazines or newspaper about the topic. After studying the information
you gathered, write a clear statement of the summary of your topic. Then
select the important ones from the notes you have taken ABOUT the topic.

Create an Outline.

Choose a pattern of organization that fits your information and your

purpose Outline your information carefully.

15
 Draft and Revise.

Use your outline as a guide to drafting your speech, following the standard
structure of an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.

Remember that in the introduction, you need to catch the reader’s

attention. Consider one of the methods listed in the chart below.

GETTING YOUR AUDIENCE’S ATTENTION

Strategy Example
Tell a story. When my family’s home was washed
away in a flood three years ago, I felt
as though my whole past has been
washed away.

Ask a question Why should you care about the

possible extinction of the Philippine
Use a quotation eagle?
Mark Twain once wrote,” Civilizations
proceed from the heart rather than from
State an amazing fact or statistic the head.”
A bolt of lightning is five times hotter
than the surface of the sun.

This time, prepare for your speech delivery. Here are some
reminders:

1. BE POISED AND CONFIDENT. Refrain from making

unnecessary bodily and facial movements. Remember poise is
achieved when your mind is free from tension and fear and
unavoidable distractions are minimized.

2. MAINTAIN AUDIENCE CONTACT. Speak to them, not at them.

Reading your speech entirely and concentrating on your
manuscripts do not allow for rapport to develop between you
and your audience.

3. ARTICULATE YOUR WORDS WELL. Avoid mumbling or

eating your words. When you are unsure of the pronunciation of
a word, never hesitate to consult the dictionary for proper
guidance.

4. VARY YOUR SPEECH RATE. Slow down on parts that need

emphasis. Also, observe proper pausing and phrasing of words.
Learn to speak in word groups or thought units.

16
 5. PROJECT YOUR VOICE WELL. Be sure that everyone in the
room, especially those at the back can hear well.

Before practicing your speech, read the following criteria which will be used in
evaluating each one’s delivery:

5 4 3 2 1
PARTICULARS
O VG G F NI
1.Poise and confidence
2.Audience contact
3.Articulation
4.Speech rate
5.Voice
a. Modulation
b. Projection
TOTAL POINTS

Legend: O = Outstanding F = Fair

VG = Very Good NI = Needs Improvement
G = Good

17
 As soon as you think you have had enough practice in
delivering your speech, you may deliver it in front of your teacher
and classmates.

Activity 4: Vocabulary Building

GETTING MEANING THROUGH CONTEXT CLUES

Do you still remember how to use context clues in one of our

previous lessons?
An unfamiliar word nearly always appears among the other words
that are familiar to you. These surrounding words provide the context for
the new word. Thinking about the meaning of the rest of the phrase,
sentence, paragraph, or passage, and analyzing how the unknown word
fits into that meaning may help you figure out the meaning of the word.

Do you always use a dictionary when you meet a difficult word? Well,
there are several ways of knowing the meaning of words without using a
dictionary. One of them is through using contextual clues. Within the sentence,
which is the context, there may be a word or some words that can provide the
clues to the meaning of a difficult word.

Example: My grandmother will become a nonagenarian. She will be 90

years old on December 2.

The underlined word is difficult but you don’t need to consult a dictionary
to know its meaning. The sentence after the word is your best clue.
‘Nonagenarian’ means a ninety-year old person.

18
Task 1

Directions: Try to get the meaning of the underlined word in each of the sentences through
context clues. Circle the context clues.

1. Ernie Baron is known to some as the “Walking Encyclopedia”, a

seemingly know-it-all man.

2. I am very inquisitive by nature. I always ask about almost

everything.

3. This led me to devour some 50,000 books when I was younger;

that is, I read almost 50, 000 books.

4. Friends, who later became showbiz personalities like Dolphy,

paved the way for Baron for a career in radio broadcasting.

5. Ernie Baron is a leading example of how man, just by reading

books can discover the many mysteries of the world. One
example of these mysteries he often talks about is the mystery
of how dead bodies are mummified or preserved for very long
time.

Using contextual clues in getting meaning of words is a real advantage to

learners since when you read, you are not so much troubled by unfamiliar
words. Remember that context clues may be in terms of:

1. synonyms 2. antonyms 3. appositive

4. examples

Tips on Discovering New Words and developing your Vocabulary:

1. Read extensively in a variety of areas. The more you spend

your time in reading high-quality material, the more new words
and phrases you are certain to encounter.

19
 2. Use a thesaurus or a dictionary. Try to retain the meaning of a
“new word” by using it often.

3. Play word games or do cross-word puzzles.

4. Notice new words when reading. You might want to keep a

vocabulary journal in which you record unfamiliar words and
phrases and their meanings.

5. Understand the meaning of new words by studying the context.

6. Verify your understanding of the word with someone else. Use a

dictionary or ask a friend or a teacher whether you understand
correctly the meaning of the word.

7. Use the new word when speaking or writing. You may want to
double-check the word to be sure you are using the word
appropriately.

Task 2

Directions: Each of the following sentences contains a word in bold letters that you may
be unfamiliar. Determine the meaning by examining the context. Write the
word, and opposite it, the context clue that gave you its meaning,

1. Gary Valenciano frequently performs gratis. Last year he

accepted no payment for singing in a charity concert.

2. Copper is highly malleable, that is, it is easily shaped.

3. The village was enshrouded, or enveloped, in a thick fog.

4. Michael’s acrophobia was intense; his father also had an

overwhelming fear of heights.

5. Teresa joined a philately club because she enjoys collecting

stamps from different countries.
