A. Most Essential Learning Competency
● Judge the relevance and worth of ideas, soundness of the author’s
reasoning, and the effectiveness of the presentation
B. Objective
● Identify the general mechanics and logical arrangement of ideas in
composition.

II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

Stating ideas involves plenty of considerations when it comes to message
delivery especially in the written form where every word said can be reviewed and
assessed. Sometimes, what we want to say may come out differently depending on
the words used, arrangement of the writing, and simple punctuations and
capitalizations. Hence, the need for editing and rephrasing may come in handy for our
true message to be delivered flawlessly.
Generally, compositions are evaluated in the following areas: content, structure
or organization, mechanics, and grammar.

Content refers to the ideas relevant to the topic. They are facts and
information needed to sustain a thought.

Correct example:
We live on a planet where day and night are present. Earth days can be
counted by its full rotation of the Earth in its axis. As it circulates the sun in our solar
system in its orbit, a year can be measured by one revolution.

Wrong example:
Earth is the only planet in the Andromeda Galaxy where life can be found. It
has two moons namely Luna and Lana. The organisms in this planet breathe carbon
dioxide.

knowledge of the rules in written English, in the use of words, and how you arrange
your words to create sentences that generate an idea. It also attracts jobs, better
opportunities, and gives you a sense of confidence.

in the rules in the English, she uses of words, and how she arranged words and create

Mechanics refers to correct spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and sentence

format.

Correct example:

such as John, Mary, and the President. Places should be capitalized too such as
Legazpi City, Albay. Punctuations are put into place to indicate a pause in the
sentence, such as this, that makes the meaning clear and how to end a thought just
like this.

Problems of Internet

On an individual level, the internet can cause a lot of problems-one of the most
significant being procrastination. Procrastination is the habit of postponing a task
indefinitely. Social Media platforms such as Facebook and other similar sites, are to be
blamed as it is easy to get sucked into them. countless hours could disappear if the user
does not keep track of time.
However, the internet is not all bad. There are many other things that you can
learn. For instance, a technical subject such as Physics can be better understood
through the help of videos. Abstract subjects such as Mathematics are understood
better through the help of websites and forums dedicated to explain the concepts better.
In conclusion, the Internet is like a double -edged sword. It can be a great boon
if used in the right way. It provides valuable knowledge and resources to better yourself.
However, it can also be easy to distract yourself and waste countless hours of your time.
