CREATIVE NONFICTION

Name of Learner: __________________________________________________________ Grade Level/Section: _______________

Date: ____________________

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET Introduction to Literary Genres Background Information for the Learners Writing creative nonfiction is about telling true stories. You can tell a story about yourself or craft essays about personal experiences. You can also write about other people, places, and events in the world. Creative nonfiction requires that you write true and factual narratives, not fiction. You’ll want to present the truth and facts in a compelling, entertaining, and memorable ways so that others will be inspired to read your story. To write any of these forms of creative non fiction, you have many techniques to choose from, such as scene, summary, personal reflection. The theme of a text is what the author is trying to convey- in other words, the central idea of the text. The plot is simply what happens in the story and order of the story’s events, and the moral is the lesson that the writer wants the main character to learn form the story. Some common themes in texts are love, war, revenge, betrayal, patriotism, grace, isolation, motherhood, forgiveness, wartime loss, treachery, rich versus poor, appearance versus reality, and help other worldly powers. To identify the theme, be sure that you’ve first identified the story’s plot, the way the story uses characterization, and the primary conflict in the story. In creative nonfiction on the other hand, theme is the subject or the topic of a given text. Learning Competency: Analyze and interpret the theme and techniques used in a particular text (HUMSS_CNF11/12-Ia-3) Exercise 1: In or Out Directions: Identify whether the following topics can be developed into a nonfictional text or not. Write YES on the space provided before each number if the topic can be developed. If not, write NO. _____ 1. The Legend of the Blue Sea _____ 2. Reflective essay on Death Penalty _____ 3. The creation of the Department of Disaster Resilience in the Philippines _____ 4. The legalization of Divorce in the Philippines _____ 5. Sonnet 116

Directions: Read the debate speech below. Identify at least three (3) topics or lessons you can learn from the speech. Write your answers on the space provided. “People of the Philippines, forgive me of the sin which you have accused me. A Filipino, killed by fellow Filipinos”. These are the last words of Leo Echagaray before his execution on February 5, 1999. A reminder of a wrong decision we made, a reminder of another wrong decision the advocates of the death penalty are about to take. Friends, ladies and gentlemen, good day. We, in the affirmative side regret the legality of death penalty under the light of House Bill 4727. I will be discussing to you important arguments why it is not necessary to legalize death penalty. First, it is not necessary to legalize the death penalty because in the status quo, criminals do not just go unpunished. RA 9346 also known as An Act Prohibiting the Imposition of Death Penalty in the Philippines clearly states that in lieu of the death penalty, the following shall be imposed: the penalty of reclusion perpetua, when the law violated makes use of the nomenclature of the penalties of the Revised Penal Code, or the penalty of life imprisonment, otherwise. A clear manifestation that indeed, it is still our contention in the affirmative side that violators will be punished but never by death penalty. Secondly, there is no credible evidence or recognized research which demonstrates that the death penalty deters crime, any more than lengthy imprisonment does. In fact, a study titled Do Executions lower homicide Rates. The views of leading Criminologists, revealed that 88% of criminal experts interviewed disagreed that death penalty can act as a deterrent or can lower the murder rate.They maintain that the death penalty has the opposite effect: that is, the society is brutalized by the use of death penalty, and this increases the likelihood of murder. Vice President Leni Robredo convincingly said that it is not the severity of punishment that deters wrongdoers, but its certainty. As a matter of fact, the crime rate or the number of crime incidents per 100,000 population decreased from 145.7 in 1993 to 98 in 1998. In 1999, however, when six of the seven executions under the Estrada administration happened, the crime rate rose to 111. Looking into these numbers, how can we even say that death penalty can deter crimes? Furthermore, looking into the experiences of other countries, states in the United States that do not employ the death penalty generally have lower murder rates than states that do. The U.S., with the death penalty, has a higher murder rate than the countries of Europe and Canada, which do not use the death penalty. We always have to remember, that although our first instinct may be to inflict immediate pain on someone who wrongs us, the standards of a mature society demand a more measured response. The emotional impulse of revenge is not a sufficient justification of invoking a system of capital punishment. Our laws and criminal justice system should lead us to higher principles that demonstrate a complete respect for life, even the life of a criminal. Legalizing the death penalty only extends the chain of violence. We have to recall that in a civilized society, we reject the principle of doing to the criminals what they do to their victims. The penalty for rape cannot be rape, or for arson, the burning down of the arsonist’s house. We should not, therefore, punish the murderer with death. The notion of life for a life, eye for an eye, and tooth for tooth will only make our world blind and toothless. Hence, ladies and PRACTICE HYGIENE PROTOCOLS AT ALL TIMES

gentlemen, it is our contention in the affirmative side that we regret the legality of death penalty in the Philippines. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________

Exercise 3: Identifying the Ultimate Theme Directions: Below is another debate speech which talks of a certain topic or theme. Identify the ultimate theme and write it on the space provided. Mother Theresa once said, and I q uote, “I only feel angry when I see waste,when I see people throwing away things we could use,” unquote. Friends, ladies and gentlemen, good day. Lawmakers are now pushing for the creation of the Department of Disaster Resilience and we, in the affirmative side firmly regret its creation. For this constructive speech, I will be discussing two arguments why it is not necessary to create the Department of Disaster Resilience under the provisions of House Bill No. 5989 which has already passed the third and final reading in the House of Representatives. For my first argument, the proposed creation of DDR fails to justify how it is different from existing institutions that already deal and are effective with disaster relief and response. Vice President Leni Robredo in fact convincingly stated that the government should look into the gaps in existing agencies instead of creating new ones that will create unnecessary layer in the bureaucracy when in fact existing state agencies are already performing its mandate. Furthermore, Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman reiterates that the Office of the Civil Defense, Social Welfare Development, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), and the Department of Public works and Highways (DPWH) among others are actively performing on disaster prevention, mitigation, management and rehabilitation. Meanwhile, RA 10121, also known as the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 provides that the (NDRRMC) is the working group convened during times of crises to ensure the protection and welfare of all Filipinos during disasters or emergencies. Included in its functions are securing communication lines during calamities, issuing warning signals, providing emergency transportation, and facilitating evacuation and rescue missions. It also leads in the provision of engineering, health and rehabilitation, public education and auxiliary services such as fire-fighting and post-calamity measures. This is yet to take into account the contribution of non-government organizations such as the Red Cross and various charities. And these ladies and gentlemen are mere duplications under the proposed creation of the Department of Disaster Resilience. We have to remember that to create a Department of Disaster Resilience, there’s an expectation that it will hold all these responsibilities and not cause blatant redundancy in the government’s functions.

For my second argument, most countries have separate departments for disaster resilience and response, yet they are still successful, efficient, and effective. In Japan, Thailand, and Singapore, an ad hoc committee is created headed by the prime minister, as needed, in response to particular calamities. In fact, in a study titled, Institutional Issues on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management conducted by Sonny Domingo, the International Best Practices and Institutional Platforms was presented and such mentioned that the Southeast Asian countries present good cases of DRRM institutional setups that address similar regional disaster hazards. Underscored in this study is that, the Malaysian government’s disaster response is one of the most functional and effective and such design is modeled from those of the Philippines and Indonesia. Considering such result, I am wondering why there is such move to create a Department of Disaster Resilience when in reality, the status quo, the design we are using in disaster response is laudable and is recognized internationally? It is our contention therefore in the affirmative side that our resiliency initiatives have been gaining support in all levels of political subdivisions of the government, including communities and outside stakeholders. And when such current momentum is sustained, the coming years would be witness to the monumental transformation of the institutional landscape for DRRM in the country. Hence, we regret the creation of the Department of Disaster Resilience in the Philippines. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________

Exercise 4: Sample Answer Lawmakers are now pushing for bills that support and advocate for divorce in the Philippines. For the purpose of this debate, we shall focus on the provisions of House Bill 0100, otherwise known as the Absolute Divorce Bill of 2019, which has already passed the third and final reading in the House of Representatives. And looking into the provisions of the said bill, I agree that divorce should not be allowed in the Philippines. Divorce also known as dissolution of marriage is the termination of a marriage or marital union, the canceling or reorganizing of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage, and thus dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of a country or state. Furthermore, absolute divorce as defined in House Bill 0100 refers to the separation between married couples that is total and final where the husband and wife return to their status of being single with the right to contract marriage again. Divorce should not be allowed in the Philippines, because it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that “the State recognizes the sanctity of family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic social institutions (Section 12, Article II). In Manuel vs. People, General Register No. 16582, the Supreme Court asserts that Marriage is a relationship of highest importance. As a matter of fact, to highlight the importance of the family PRACTICE HYGIENE PROTOCOLS AT ALL TIMES

and marriage, the Constitution further provides a separate Article XV exclusively dealing with the family. Among others, it provides that the State recognizes the Filipino family as the foundation of the nation. Accordingly, it shall strengthen its solidarity and actively promote its total development (Section 1, Article XV). Marriage, according to the Constitution, is an inviolable social institution and the foundation of the family and shall be protected by the state (Section 2, Article XV). Looking into the meaning of the word inviolable, it means anything that cannot be assailed, cannot be broken, cannot be interchanged. Anything inviolable is considered hallowed, holy, sacred, sacrosanct, and untouchable. So why will a state which is supposed to protect and promote the sanctity of marriage and family pass to a law a bill that destroys our very core and foundation? We have to remember that when we allow divorce, the harm is not only done to the families that are broken by it. Harm is done to the whole country because allowing divorce tells people that the promise of marriage is to be faithful not until till death do they part, but only until till divorce do they part. A country that accepts divorce will soon have more broken families, that lead to more disunity, and to more divisions in other families. Yes, we cannot solve all problems in the world but let us never bring in the worst problem of all and that is to destroy love. And that is what we are doing when we tell married people they can divorce each other and easily go with someone else. This is not only because divorce is a destroyer of love, unity, and peace but also because the divorced feel lonely and find friends of their own age who are usually married. This kind of friendship breaks up other marriages and this just goes on and on.

Grade Level/Section: ______________________________ LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET CREATE SAMPLES OF THE DIFFERENT LITERARY ELEMENTS BASED ON ONE’S EXPERIENCE

Background Information for Learners Literary elements are the things that all literature—whether it's a news article, a book, or a poem—absolutely have to have. They are the fundamental building blocks of writing, and they play an important role in helping us write, read, and understand literature. Further, these are the “whats” of a work. LITERARY ELEMENTS I. SETTING Setting is the time and location where the story takes place. It refers to time periods, geographic locations, cultural contexts, immediate surroundings, weather, times of day, or times of year employed in the story.
