Let’s Learn This

In the previous week, you learned about

various types of informational text.
Today, you will learn more about types of
informational text and how to distinguish
one from the other.
Let’s Try This

Task 1. For Your Information (FYI)

Listen to your teacher as he/she
reads the text below. Be ready to
answer questions about the text.
 Eating Healthy
Ethan loved eating chicken nuggets, pizza, fries, and
burgers. To drink, he always liked milk shakes, cola,
or sugary drinks. The sweeter it was, the more he
liked it.
“You can’t keep eating this stuff!” Ethan’s mom
complained. “Why? It tastes so good.” His
mother frowned and crossed her arms. “You eat
too much sugar.” “Yum! Sugar.” Ethan smiled
happily.
“Look at what you’re eating for breakfast.”
Ethan looked at the food in front of him. It
looked good to him. “I’m having juice, super
rainbow sugar sprinkle krispies, and a donut.”
He smiled and took a bite of his glazed, jelly-
filled donut. He chewed and then stopped
when his teeth began to ache.
“Ethan, you’re going to have to go to the
dentist if you’re getting cavities.” “No, I’m
not!” Ethan denied it. He took another
bite to prove he was fine. His teeth really
ached, though. “See?” His mother sighed.
“Why do all the delicious things have to
be bad for me? I can’t eat broccoli forever.
I’m not a rabbit.”
“I know, but you don’t get all the vitamins and
minerals you need from the stuff you like to
eat. All that food is sugar and fat. You need
good food for healthy teeth, eyes, and even
your brain!” His mother explained. “If you
can’t start making healthy choices more
often, I won’t buy any junk food or sweets to
keep in the house for snacks.”
“That’s not fair!” Ethan whined.
Whining didn’t work with mother.
It made her more serious. “Snacks
are supposed to be occasional
treats, not your regular meals. I
should have bought more
healthy breakfast foods for you.
Tomorrow you will have eggs, toast
without jam, bacon, some fresh fruit, and
a glass of milk.” “That doesn’t sound too
bad.”
“I’m not going to put all these sweets in your
lunch anymore, either. You will get yogurt,
raisins, or fresh fruit for your dessert in your
lunch, okay?” Ethan didn’t want to agree, but
his mom’s suggestion wasn’t really that bad.
Maybe his teeth wouldn’t hurt so much
anymore, either. He really didn’t like trips to
the dentist.

Let’s Study This

You listened to an informational text. Informational text is

defined as text with the primary purpose of expressing
information about the arts, sciences, or social studies. This
text ranges from newspaper and magazine articles to digital
information to nonfiction trade books to textbooks and
reference materials.

There are specifically four types of informational text: literary

nonfiction, expository, argument or persuasion, and
procedural.
Literary Nonfiction
Literary nonfiction includes shorter texts, such
as “personal essays, speeches, opinion pieces,
essays about art or literature, biographies, memoirs,
journalism, and historical, scientific, technical, or
economic accounts (including digital sources)
written for a broad audience.” Autobiographies,
biographies, other narrative nonfiction,
informational picture books, and informational
poetry often fit into this category.
 Narrative informational text typically communicates
accurate information and has a well-defined beginning,
middle, and end. Informational poetry weaves facts into
poems.
Finally, informational alphabet and counting books
allow authors to use a creative format to share factual
information, as in Alan Schroeder’s Ben Franklin: His Wit
and Wisdom from A–Z. Schroeder includes details of
Franklin’s life and his sayings in a clever, almanac style.
 Procedural Texts

Procedural texts provide step-by-step guidelines that

describe how to complete a task. They often include a
materials-needed section and graphics that illustrate the
process, as found in Doug Stillinger’s The Klutz Book of
Paper Airplanes. Jane Drake and Ann Love’s Get Outside
provides readers with rules for games and directions for
making things like bird feeders, kites, and sundials.
Expository Texts

Expository texts utilize various text structures,

such as description, cause and effect, comparison
and contrast, problem and solution, question and
answer, and temporal sequence.
Argument or Persuasion Texts

Argument or persuasion texts provide

evidence with the intent of influencing the beliefs
or actions of the target audience. These texts
typically include claims, evidence, and warrants to
explain how the evidence is linked to the claims.
Writers of persuasion or argument also make
appeals—appeals to the author’s credibility, to the
audience’s needs, or to reason and evidence.

Task 3. Talking About This With your groupmates, read and talk
about the informational text you listened to. Fill in the table below
with your responses.

TITLE TYPE OF INFORMATIONAL TEXT

Task 4.
I Heard Them Right! Group yourselves into
four. Your teacher will assign informational text
to your group. With your groupmates, read the
text in front of the class. As you read, ask the
other groups to listen and tell them to identify
what type of informational text you are reading.
Let them write their answer on a “show me
board.”
GROUP I

Dr Jose Protacio Rizal was born in the town of Calamba,

Laguna on 19th June 1861. The second son and the seventh among
the eleven children of Francisco Mercado and Teodora Alonso.
With his mother as his first teacher, he began his early
education at home and continued in Binan, Laguna. He entered a
Jesuit-run Ateneo Municipal de Manila in 1872 and obtained a
bachelor's degree with highest honors in 1876. He studied medicine
at the University of Santo Tomas but had to stop because he felt
that the Filipino students were being discriminated by their
Dominican tutors. He went to Madrid at Universidad Central de
Madrid and in 1885 at the age of 24, he finished his course in
Philosophy and Letters with a grade of “Excellent.”
 GROUP II

A sundial compass is a combination of these two instruments,

consisting of a portable sundial which is attached over a compass via a
hinge. There are some adjustable legs that need to be used to level the
instrument if not on level ground. The gnome is hinged and needs to be
put in the up position where it locks into place. There should be what looks
like a protractor that is to the right of the gnome that is on a hinge, and
this needs to be flipped up as well. The protractor is used to set the sundial
to the correct latitude angle, while the compass is used to find true north
based on the area’s magnetic north declination. Once your sundial
compass has been leveled, set to the correct latitude, and to true north, a
shadow will be cast onto the sundial’s face by the gnome. For use in the
southern hemisphere, the same procedure is followed with the exception
that true South must be found instead of true North.
Group 3
Just like visible light, infrared light, and radio waves,
ultraviolet light is electromagnetic radiation. On the
spectrum, ultraviolet light lies between violet light and x
rays, with wavelengths ranging from four to 400
nanometers. Although it is undetectable to the naked eye,
anyone who has been exposed to too much sunlight has
probably noted the effects of ultraviolet light, for it is this
radiation that causes tanning, sunburn, and can lead to
skin cancer.
GROUP 4

Teenagers are forever being told that they need a

good education so that they can have the career they
want, but many do not listen. However, it is important
to remember that your schooling, no matter how long
it may feel, lasts for just a few short years compared
to the rest of your life ahead of you. Therefore, it is
better to sacrifice a little bit of fun now so that you
can find happiness in later life, as you will be happier
if you can do a job that you enjoy and afford to do the
things you want.
