refers to any written works that follows
a basic grammatical structure, which
means the language follows the natural
patterns, in a straightforward manner.

(Presenting the PowerPoint)

First and foremost, I would like to give

emphasis on the difference of Prose to
Poetry so that it would be a guide for
you to distinct the two terms.
Definition of Prose
Kindly take it down, class! Prose is a literary device referring to
writing that is structured in a

said earlier. It has also a grammatical
structure with sentences and paragraphs.
On the other hand, poetry has line
breaks, it has deliberated patterns, such
as rhythm and rhyme.
So, take this as an example. Yes, Ma’am.

So as you can see, the first table is a

passage from a story. And the second
table is a poem. You can distinguish
where the prose and poetry because of

poem incorporated figurative language
while the prose conveyed as it was.

Did you get the difference of the two,

class?

Can you read the first slide, Mr. Ben?

Yes, Ma’am.

Thank you, Mr. Ben.

Prose is a literary device which it is a
way for the writers to communicate with
readers in a straightforward, even
conversational manner.

There are four distinct types of prose
that writers use:
Journal, Ma’am.

What else?
Yes, Ma’am.
Good Job!

Did you understand the heroic prose?

Let’s proceed to the next slide.

Can you read for us this slide, Mr. Carl?
Yes, Ma’am.

Let’s take this as an example;

And if sometimes, on the steps of a
palace or the green grass of a ditch, in
the mournful solitude of your room.

It is like a poetry, right? But the

structure is prose. it has meter, but it
was written in a natural flow.

Did you get it, class?

Great!

So, those are the four distinct types of

Prose.
Did you able to understand the
differentiation of the 4 types of prose?

I hope we are all clear on that.

If yes, let’s proceed to the function of
prose in writing.

The first one is Fulfill a story’s promise. William Shakespeare, ma’am.

In literature, the basic purpose of prose
in writing is to convey an idea, deliver
information or tell a story. It is the way
a writer fulfills her basic promise to
deliver a story with characters, settings,
plots, and a final payoff.
Example a short story or novels, its
basic purpose is to tell a story to the
readers. They have these elements like
the characters, setting, plot, conflict and
the moral you will get to the story.

Next is, Create a Voice. Yes, Ma’am.

Each writer has their own way of using
the language called a writer’s voice.
Using prose in different ways help
writers craft and show of his voice.

Do you know an author or writer that

show off his or her voice on his or her
writing?

Good job!

Last, Builds rapport through familiarity.

Prose is often conversational tone. This
familiarity helps connect readers to a
story and its characters.
Example, SONA. Is it the state of the
nation address were stated as a natural
speech, and actually builds connection
of the speaker to the audience?

Did you able to understand the three

functions of prose in writing.

That’s good to hear.

E. Application

For your activity, I will group you into Yes, Ma’am.

four.
Each group will construct a short prose
following the 4 types of Prose and try to
apply the function of prose in writing.
If you are the group of the Fictional
story and you chose short story, make it
sure that it presents the elements and try
to make it shorter as you can.
In a while, I am creating a different
room for every group. So, whoever on
the room the same as yours will be your
groupmate.
Is my instruction, clear?

(The teacher created a room for every

group)

Group 1- Nonfictional Prose

Group 2- Fictional Prose
Group 3- Heroic Prose
Group 4- Poetic Prose

I’ll give you 8 minutes to prepare and

add 2 minutes for the final touch of your
writing.

(After 10 minutes)
We can use the Spin the wheel, Ma’am.
Okay class. Your time for preparation is

So, how will we going to choose for the

order of presenters?
