Quarter 3, Week 8 - Verbals

 

Our topic was about Verbals, A verbal is a term that is formed from a verb and is used as a noun or modifier (adjective or adverb) rather than a verb in a phrase. Infinitives, gerunds (also known as -ing forms), and participles are examples of verbals (also known as -ing forms and -en forms). A verbal phrase is made up of a verb, its object, and any modifiers. There are 3 types of verbals. First is Gerunds, which are verbs with the suffix -ing that serve as nouns. The second is Infinitives, which are verbals that serve as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs (typically preceded by the particle to). The third is Participles, – which are adjectives that are formed from verbs. It uses the verb's participle (for example, selected) or its present participle (-ing form like caring). 

The activities are easy and you can do them right away. I learned that verbal is a verb that serves as a noun, adjective, or adverb in another part of speech. It's also important because it helps us communicate with other people and it develops our language and also grammar.

Quarter 3, Week 7 - Tone, Mood, Technique, and Purpose

 

Our topic was Tone, Mood, Technique, and Purpose. Tone refers to the author's perspective on a subject, character, or audience. It is accomplished by the use of diction, sentence structure, and word choice. Order (syntax), character's point of view, imagery, metaphorical language, and other elements are all important. To put it another way, tone refers to how the author feels about his subject, character, or setting. And Mood describes the feeling that a reader has when reading a scene or a novel. The atmosphere (the vibe) of a scene or tale is more important than the reader's feelings. Happiness, despair, gloom, rage, distrust, loneliness, or even enthusiasm are all possibilities. The third is Technique, which is a writing style that allows an author to effectively and meaningfully communicate their message to their audience. It differs from one author to the next and is determined by the author's syntax, word choice, and tone. Lastly is Purpose, is the primary motivation for writing. The first is to inform, which usually involves presenting facts or explaining something, such as in a textbook or a news report. The second is to persuade, which usually involves arguing a point or attempting to persuade, such as in an editorial or commercial. The third function is to entertain, which is usually accomplished through the use of a poem, a humorous essay, or a short narrative.

The activities are easy and you can do them right away. I learned that Tone, Mood, Technique, and Purpose, are important and it helps us to understand the meaning of it because Mood and tone are two literary characteristics that aid in the development of a story's core premise. The tone is the author's attitude toward the topic, while the mood is the story's atmosphere. This will assist us in finding meaning in the story or piece, as well as make us feel more connected to the work. There's none I find difficult. The highlight of the blog is understanding the meaning of  Tone, Mood, Technique, and Purpose.

Our topic was about Judging Validity of Evidence. Each and every evidence from the a fiction or nonfiction work that may be used to back up ideas, arguments, opinions, or thoughts is known as text evidence. When we reference textual evidence, we paraphrase, quote, or allude to a specific section of the text to back up or support our beliefs. Finding textual proof, on the other hand, may not be sufficient. The evidence needed to establish that a statement or what is being said is true must be valid. The soundness and power of an argument are referred to as "Validity." There's a way to determine the validity of an evidence. First is question is, who is the author of the source? Second is, how did the source get its information? Lastly is, What if the source you have found does not have references?

I learned that in Judging Validity of Evidence that When we listen to or read a text, we evaluate the information to determine whether or not we would trust what was said or expressed.

And the author purposefully withholds or ignores information that might cast the opposing view in a more positive light (bias); the author consciously presents evidence that serves to tell only one side of an event or issue, purposefully withholding or ignoring information that might cast the opposing view in a more positive light. On the other hand, Prejudice is a negative view or sentiment generated without information, thinking, or reason before it is spoken.
