Analogy

Background Information for Learners

Analogy is a comparison between two things that are usually thought to be different from each
other but have some similarities.
Suggestions for Constructing of Analogy
1. The relationship of the first pair of words is equal to the relationship of the second.
2. Destructors or incorrect responses must be plausible or closely related to the correct
answer to attract the examinees to the incorrect response. The process of obtaining the
correct answer is by logical elimination.
3. All options must be constructed to parallel language.
4. All options must be grammatically consistent.
5. Four or more options in each item must be included to minimize guessing. If using
three options, correction formula is applied.
6. Only homogeneous relationship must be included in each item.
Example: grass : green :: sky : blue
The ‘clue’ is to discover why and how the first pair go together.
What makes grass and green go together?
The color of grass is green.
The color of sky is blue.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Linear and Non-Linear Text

Background Information for Learners

Linear text
This is the most common type text that need to be read from beginning to end. It focuses on the
arrangement of the words, both grammatically and stylistically. Generally, texts printed on paper
are considered as linear texts. Novels, poems, short stories, letters, educational texts, all those
texts we read from the beginning to the end, are linear texts.
Non-Linear Text

The readers do not have to go through the text in a sequential manner in order to make sense of
the text. Most people consider texts with visuals or graphs along with it as examples for
nonlinear texts. Examples of non-linear text are charts or graphs.
Steps for a Simple Non-linear Interpretation
1. Give the title.
2. Write an overview or main idea.
3. Write the key features.
4. Conclude by giving the prediction or proposal regarding the nonlinear text.

Learning Competency with Code

Transcode information from linear to non- linear texts and vice versa. (EN8RC-IIe-11)
Activity 1
Directions: Read the text about the causes of conflicts in a family.

4 Causes of Family Conflict

by: K. Lee Banks
Family harmony provides a sense of belonging and a feeling of security unlike many
other types of relationships. When conflict arises, it threatens that security. Whether the
disharmony initiates from within the family unit or from external sources, individual family
members and the family as a whole can experience a range of negative emotions and
consequences. Unresolved conflict may irreparably damage a marriage and the entire family, if
family members do not seek help.
One major source of family conflict is within the area of finances-specifically, the lack of
enough money to pay bills, maintain the mortgage or rent, buy sufficient food and other
necessities and have any remaining money for recreation, job or career may contribute to conflict
within a family. If a parent’s job keeps him/her away from home most of the time, the spouse at
home with the children often feels neglected or overwhelmed. Conversely, if the parent becomes
unemployed, this causes its own form of stress and conflict, as finances dwindle and uncertainty
sets in about the future.
Another cause of family conflict is the inevitable rivalry that occurs between siblings.
Children typically seek their parents’ attention and approval, even if this requires tattling on, or
sometimes causing harm to a sibling. Whether a child expresses jealousy of a sibling, competes
with him/her or teases him/her non-stop, it is destined to cause conflict. Each child deserves an
equal amount of parental love and acceptance, yet sometimes a parent may favor one child over
another. This merely intensifies the conflict.
While mutual agreement on the subject of child discipline is crucial, the lack of
consensus opens up another potential area for family conflict. If one parent acts as the
“disciplinarian,” the other parent typically becomes the “consoler” to whom the children turn -
this often pits one parent against the other.
Jokes and movies abound regarding conflict with in-laws (especially mothers-in-law);
however, when you actually become involved in disagreements with your in-laws or extended
family, it is no laughing matter. While it is preferable to respect your elders-parents and
grandparents on both sides equally-this can prove to be challenging. If relatives routinely
interfere in your family’s decisions and lifestyle, conflict frequently results.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Finding Text Evidence to Support

Background Information for Learners

Text Evidence
 Information you find in the selection that helps support your answer.
 Taken WORD FOR WORD exactly as it is written.
 Place QUOTATON MARKS “…” around the evidence.
How do you find text evidence?
P - PAGE/PARAGRAPH/PASSAGE
R - REFERENCE the specific location
O - OFFERS support
V - VIEW of author
E - EYE can see it

I - INFERENCES
T - TEXT FEATURES

P ---- PASSAGE
 The evidence must be found somewhere in the PASSAGE
 It could be in just one PARAGRAPH
 It could be several places throughout the PASSAGE
 Don’t stop with the first piece of evidence you find
 Sometimes the best supporting piece of evidence comes later in the text
R ---- REFERENCE the specific location
 You should be able to REFERENCE a specific section of the text
 On page _____, …..
 In paragraph, ……
 In the section “ ______”,
 It says in paragraph _____ on page ____, that….
O ---- OFFERS Support
 There must be a connection between the question and the evidence
 Make sure the evidence actually SUPPORTS your idea
 Just because the evidence is in the selection does not mean it automatically supports any
idea on the topic
V ---- VIEW of author
 Provides the author’s view on the topic
 Links back to what the author meant or author’s purpose
 “The author stated….”
E ---- EYE can see it
 Has to be something your EYES can physically see in the text
I --- INFERENCES
 Making INFERENCES is like being a reading detective
 You must use CLUES from the text to figure something out because it was not stated
completely in the text
T --- TEXT FEATURES
 Text Features help the reader understand the text
 Title
 Headings
  Charts, Tables, Graphs
 Illustrations

Example:
The Rhinoceros
By Oliver Herford
SO this is the Rhi-no-ce-ros!
I won-der why he looks so cross.
Per-haps he is an-noyed a bit
Be-cause his cloth-ing does not fit.
(They say he got it read-y made!)
It is not that, I am a-fraid.
He looks so cross be-cause I drew
Him with one horn in-stead of two.
Well, since he cares so much for style,
Let's give him two and see him smile.

QUESTION: How does the Rhinoceros look at the beginning of the poem?
Answer: Upset
Evidence: The author states, “he looks so cross.” We know that cross means angry or mad. The
author has DIRECTLY stated that the Rhinoceros looks cross.

Learning Competency with Code

Cite evidence to support a general statement. (EN7RC-IV-g-10.4)

Activity 1
Directions:
The passage below is from the book Five Lectures on Blindness by Kate M. Foley. Read the
passage. Then answer the questions.

When mentally equipped, all blind students should be sent to college, and urged to fit
themselves as teachers. In every college and university blind men should occupy chairs in
history, English, economics, and mathematics. I know two blind men in this state well qualified
to teach any of these subjects, who are forced to accept inferior positions, because educators
generally fail to realize that blindness is no bar to mental attainment, and that the ability to teach
does not depend upon the ability to see with the eyes. This will be better understood when the
coeducation of blind and seeing children becomes more general—God speed the day! As music
teachers, concert players, leaders of orchestra, or masters of the violin and 'cello, the blind should
have an even chance of success, but their inability to read music at sight, or watch the director's
baton often deprives them of positions which their quick ear and well trained memory would
enable them to fill with profit to themselves and satisfaction to the public.
And so in all the professions. I know a man who, before he lost his eyesight, was
considered an eminent lawyer, but now his associates regard him pityingly, and his clients take
their business elsewhere. When the light went out of the eyes of this brilliant man, it did not take
his brain as well. He is fitted to be a consulting lawyer or court pleader, and could occupy a chair
in a college of law. Surely, there is something radically wrong when these conditions exist!
Surely the public needs to open its eyes, and polish its glasses in order to see more clearly that
there is a mental blindness, more pitiful, more far‐reaching in its consequences, than physical
blindness, however hard or uncomfortable the latter condition may be.
Someone facetiously suggested that I call this lecture "bringing light to the seeing," and,
in a sense, this is what I am trying to do. But the light is carried by a kindly hand, and the hand is
the index to a heart in which there is no bitterness, no malice, no distrust―a heart brimming over
with love, with hope, with confidence, and with a belief that the public will see the light, and,
seeing it, and reading my message in its beams, will pass it on to others, adding to it as it goes,
until it floods every corner of our vast state, and result in untold good for my people.
Questions:
 1. What evidence does the author offer that the blind are not given equal opportunity to
succeed in various professions?

Activity 2
Directions: Read the poem below and answer the following questions:

A Boundless Moment
by Robert Frost

He halted in the wind, and -- what was that

Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
He stood there bringing March against his thought,
And yet too ready to believe the most.

"Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said;

And truly it was fair enough for flowers
had we but in us to assume in march
Such white luxuriance of May for ours.

We stood a moment so in a strange world,

Myself as one his own pretense deceives;
And then I said the truth (and we moved on).
A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves.

1. What season is it in the poem? How do you know?

Activity 3
Directions: Read the passage. Then answer the questions. Cite evidence from the text to
support your answers.

A Mysterious Manuscript
The Voynich manuscript is a handwritten book that is 246 pages long; it contains many
illustrations and about 170,000 unknown characters. It is of historical interest since the fact that
its characters are unknown means that no one has ever been able to read it. Carbon dating puts it
date of origin somewhere between 1404 and 1438. It was discovered in 1912 in an Italian Jesuit
College by a book collector named Wilfried Voynich, who claims that there was a letter tucked
inside the book dated 1666. This letter names previous owners of the book, giving it something
of a pedigree. Based on this letter, Voynich believed the book to have been written by the
English monk Roger Bacon (1214–1294), though that theory has now been discredited.
It remains unclear who wrote the book or why, but there have been many speculations.
An analysis of the book itself shows that the author wrote from left to right. The lettering is
inconspicuous, both in style and size. There are no punctuation marks, but this is not uncommon
with extremely old manuscripts. All of these things suggest that it is of European origin. Of note
is the fact that there are no corrections evident in the text, suggesting that the author got
everything perfect the first time, a rather uncommon occurrence with very long, handwritten
manuscripts. There are no chapters or subheadings. Almost all of the pages are illustrated, and
some of the pages are folded so that when opened the illustrations are several pages wide.
Though the book itself is not divided into chapters or even sections, the illustrations are of six
distinct subjects: botany, astronomical charts, nude female figures in tubs, circles and rosettes,
the apparent pharmaceutical use of plants, and an unillustrated section the text of which suggests
that it contains food recipes. It is impossible to attribute it to any particular school or thought or
religion. Compounding its curiosity, none of the 126 plant illustrations can be identified, though
certain conclusions could be drawn about the date of the manuscript based on these illustrations,
even before the carbon dating, based on the artistic style.  
Scientists have been unable to determine whether or not the text is an encrypted message,
or a text written in unknown letters. Analysis of letter frequencies suggest that the text is written
in a usual language, but with 15 – 25 different unknown letters. The average word length is four
or five letters, commensurate with European, Greek or Latin languages, but different in that the
Voynich manuscript doesn’t contain any two‐letter words, or any words with more than ten
characters. Even more strange, some words are repeated up to five times in a row, and the
frequency of recurring words is unusually low. This suggests that the manuscript is probably not
a simple code based on letter substitution, and it’s unclear whether other encryption methods are
at play.
For the time being the Voynich manuscript remains a mystery, the book that – to the best
of knowledge – no one has ever read.

Questions:
1. What origin do scientists attribute to the Voynich manuscript and why?

2. Is the Voynich manuscript written in some kind of code?

3. How have scientists assigned a date to the manuscript?

________________________________________________________________________
4. Why do scientists think that the book probably has six chapters or sections?
