 I. Introduction

Rationale
on
Are you fond of reading stories? Stories do not only entertain us, but also
encourage us to reflect on the lessons that the authors want to share. Furthermore,
reading stories develop our reading skills. One of these skills is organizing ideas that
are expressed in the story.
As a reader, you must take note of the important story elements for you to
better comprehend what you read. Oftentimes, you need to arrange, cluster, and
present the ideas in the story in creative ways and use several tools that can visually
represent your thoughts.
In this module, you will go through an adventure with several missions where
you will be guided to sharpen your skills in organizing your ideas from the stories
that you will read.
When you finish the journey for each mission, you will feel accomplished if
you will be able to answer the following questions:
 What are textual aids? graphic organizers?
 Why are textual aids, especially graphic organizers important to a
reader or writer?

IT’S TIME TO READ THE STORY!
Read the story carefully to answer the questions that follow. Have fun reading the
journey of Daedalus and Icarus.

Daedalus-his name means “skilled worker” – was

a famous architect, inventor, and master craftsman known
for having created many objects that figure prominently in
various myths. He had a beloved son named Icarus.
Among the many inventions and creations crafted by
Daedalus were the wooden cow he constructed for Queen
Pasiphae, the Labyrinth of the Minotaur at Knossos on the
island of Crete, artificial wings for himself and his son
Icarus, and he was even said to have invented mages.
The infamous Labyrinth was so cunningly crafted that
Daedalus himself could barely find his way out after constructing it. With countless
winding passages and turns that opened into one another, the Labyrinth appeared
to have neither beginning nor end. Daedalus built the maze to imprison the Minotaur,
half man – half full beast.
His homeland was Athens but his parentage is uncertain. Alcippe, Merope,
and Iphinoe are all mentioned at the different times as being his mother. His father’s
identity was never precisely established, but many claimed that it was Metion, son
of Erectheus.
For a short time, his apprentice was his sister’s son Perdix. But Daedalus was
so proud of his achievements that he could not bear the idea of a rival. His sister
had placed her son Perdix under his charge to be taught the mechanical arts.
Perdix was an apt scholar and showed striking evidence of ingenuity. Walking
on the seashore, he picked up the spine of a fish. According to Ovid, imitating it, he
took a piece of iron and notched it on the edge, and thus invented the saw.
Perdix also put two pieces of iron together, connecting them at one end with
a rivet, and sharpening the other ends, and made a pair of compasses.
Daedalus was so envious of his nephew’s accomplishments that he seized
an opportunity to toss him from the hill of the Acropolis. As he was plunging to his
death, however, the goddess Athena turned Perdix into a partridge to save him.
Other sources claim instead that his apprentice was his nephew Talos. They
say that it was Talos, at the age of twelve, who displayed a skill that nearly rivaled
his mentor’s. Daedalus, fearing that the boy would surpass him in talent, murdered
the boy by tossing him from the Acropolis of Athens.
He was then tried at the Areiopagus, which was the ancient Greek court, and
banished from his home city of Athens. He fled to the island of Crete, where he
began to work at the court of King Minos and Queen Pasiphae, in the magnificent
palace of Knossos.
It is said that Daedalus was the first to conceive masts and sails for ships for
the navy of Minos, helping Crete become a naval power. The statues he carved
were so exquisite, they looked as if they were alive. It is said that they would have
escaped were it not for the chain that bound them to the palace wall.
Daedalus also constructed a wooden cow for the queen to hide in to satisfy
her amorous longings for a white bull sent by Poseidon.

7
 When the dreadful Minotaur was born, Daedalus built the Labyrinth to contain
the monstrous half-man, half-bull. For years, Minos demanded a tribute of youths
from Athens to feed the creature as punishment for the accidental killing of his son
while he was visiting Athens.
Eventually, the Athenian hero Theseus came to Crete to attempt to slay the
Minotaur. Princess Ariadne, daughter of King Minos and Queen Pasiphae, fell in
love with Theseus and asked Daedalus to help him.
Daedalus gave her a flaxen thread for Theseus to tie to the door of the
Labyrinth as he entered, and by which he could find his way out after killing the
monster. Theseus succeeded, and escaped Crete with Ariadne.
Minos enraged at the loss of his daughter, not to mention the killing of his pet
Minotaur, shut Daedalus and his son Icarus into the Labyrinth, knowing that Theseus
could not have accomplished the deed without inside help.
Daedalus managed to get out of the Labyrinth – after all, he had built it and
knew his way around. Daedalus decided that he and his son Icarus had to leave
Crete and get away from Minos before he brought them harm.
However, Minos controlled the sea around Crete. The King kept strict watch
on all vessels, permitting none to sail without being carefully searched by his
soldiers.
Since Minos controlled the land and sea routes, and there was no route of
escape there; Daedalus realized that the only way out was by air. But only the gods
could fly!
To escape, Daedalus built wings for himself and Icarus, fashioned with
feathers held together with wax. Daedalus tried the wings on himself first and was
satisfied that his plan would work.
Before taking off from the island, Daedalus warned his son to follow closely
behind him. He sternly cautioned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, as it would
melt his wings, and not too close to the sea, as it would dampen them and make it
hard to fly
They successfully flew from Crete, but Icarus grew exhilarated by the thrill of
flying and began getting careless. The father and the son passed the islands of
Samos, Delos and Lebynthos, and the further away the Crete they few, the more
cocky became Icarus.
Forgetting his father’s stern advice, Icarus flew too close to the sun god
Helios, who was pulling he sun behind his chariot high in the sky.
The wax holding together his wings softened and
melted from the head and, try as he might, Icarus could
not prevent the feathers from falling off his body. Furiously
he flapped his arms, but soon no feathers at all were left
as he fell to his death, drowning in the sea, as his helpless
father in anguish watched his son perish.
His father cried, bitterly lamenting his ow arts, and
called the land near the place where Icarus fell into the
ocean Icaria in memory of his child. The Icarian Sea,
where he fell, as forever named after him and it is said
that the great hero Heracles (Hercules), who was passing
by, gave him proper burial.
Daedalus grieved for his dead son and then continued to Sicily, where he
came to stay at the court of Cocalus in a place called Camicus. On the island’s south

8
coast, Daedalus built a temple for Apollo, and hung up his wings, as an offering to
the Olympian god.
But vengeful King Minos wasn’t quite done – he then went in the pursuit of
Daedalus, hoping to locate and trick the great inventor into revealing himself.
At each city he visited, Minos offered a reward to whoever could thread a
spiral seashell, a seemingly impossible task. Eventually, Minos came to Camicus in
Sicily and presented the contest at Cocalus’ court.
Cocalus knew of Daedalus’ talents, and gave the shell to him. The clever
Daedalus tied the string to an ant, placed the ant at one end of the shell, and allowed
the ant to walk through the spiral chambers until it came out the other end.
When Minos saw that someone had solved the puzzle, he demanded that
Cocalus surrender Daedalus, for he insisted that only he would have been inventive
enough to solve the task. King Cocalus promised to do so, but he persuaded Minos
to first take a bath and stay for some entertainment.
Minos agreed, and was consequently murdered by Cocalus’ daughters, who
had been totally impressed by the toys and gifts which Daedalus had bestowed upon
them and did not want any harm to come to him.
Daedalus eventually left camicus, much to the dismay of King Cocalus and
his daughters and ended up in Sardinia with a group led by lolaus, who was a
nephew of Heracles.

GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS are visual displays of key content information

designed to benefit learners who have difficulty organizing information (Fisher and
Schumaker, 1995). These are useful tools in presenting and organizing information.
They are meant to help students visualize clearly how ideas are organized within a
text or surrounding a concept.
Here are some of the helpful organizers you should know.

excellent for brainstorming, activating prior knowledge
or generating synonyms.

Flow Diagram or Sequence Chart- is a chart that

shows series of steps or events in the order in which
they take place. Any concept that has distinct order can
be displayed in this type of organizer

Compare/Contrast/Venn Diagram- is used to identify

the similarities and differences between two or more
concepts.

Protecting Yourself and Others From the Spread of COVID-19

You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19 by taking
some simple precautions:

 Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash
them with soap and water. Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using
alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
 Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and others. Why? When
someone coughs, sneezes, or speaks they spray small liquid droplets from their nose
or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets,
including the COVID-19 virus if the person has the disease.
 Avoid going to crowded places. Why? Where people come together in crowds, you are
more likely to come into close contact with someone that has COIVD-19 and it is more
difficult to maintain physical distance of 1 metre (3 feet).
 Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick
up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or
mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and infect you.
 Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This
means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough
or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately and wash your hands. Why?
Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you protect the people
around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.
 Stay home and self-isolate even with minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild
fever, until you recover. Have someone bring you supplies. If you need to leave your
house, wear a mask to avoid infecting others. Why? Avoiding contact with others will
protect them from possible COVID-19 and other viruses.
 If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention, but call by
telephone in advance if possible and follow the directions of your local health authority.
Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the
situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly
direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread
of viruses and other infections.
 Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such as WHO or your
local and national health authorities. Why? Local and national authorities are best
placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.
