SELF LEARNING MODULE
I. Judge the relevance and worth of ideas, soundness of author’s
reasoning, and the effectiveness of the presentation (EN9RC-IVf-2.2.2)
This self-learning module was crafted with a simplified arrangement in such a manner
that you can work on it independently.
The lessons embedded here are offshoot from the competencies embedded in the
prescribed Most Essential Learning Competencies. Hence, you may use our existing textbook
in Grade 9, A Journey through Anglo-American Literature. You may also refer to the cited
references here or you look for other learning resources for you to successfully get through each
phase of this module.
Factual
Factual information is information that solely deals with facts. It is short, non-explanatory,
and rarely gives in-depth background on a topic.
Example: George A. Romero directed Night of the Living Dead.
Example Factual Resources: Encyclopedias, Almanacs, Government Resources,
Statistics
2
Subjective
Subjective information is information from only one point of view. Opinions are always
subjective.
Example: Z-Nation was an entertaining show that should have never been canceled.
Example Subjective Resources: Websites, Blogs, Social Media, Non-scholarly Books
and Journals. Book Reviews.
Direct Speech
• Actual words are quoted without changes.
• The exact or actual words of the speaker are enclosed in inverted commas or quotation
marks. (“”)
• There is always a comma (,) or a colon (:)after “said,” that introduces spoken words.
Indirect Speech
• Actual words of speaker are changed.
• Actual words are being spoken by another person in past form.
• Narrating in present will require change in tense of actual words.
• The pronouns of the sentence are also changed accordingly.
• There is no use of commas.
• A word “that” is usually added before the spoken words of the speaker.
Examples:
He said, “I am going to School.” (direct speech)
He said that he was going to school. (indirect speech)
A. Reporting Verb. The verb of the first sentence (i.e She said, He said, he says, they
said, he emphasizes etc.) before the actual words of the speaker.
B. Reported Speech. The actual words of the speaker that is enclose in inverted commas
or quotation marks.
3
3. Change in tense of the reported speech.
Example: Direct Speech: She said, “ I am watching a movie.”
Indirect speech: She said that she was watching a movie.
5. Change in time: If there is a time mention in the sentence of direct speech, the time
will be changed in direct speech. There are certain rules in changing the time (i.e
tomorrow-the next day, today-that day, yesterday- the previous day)
Example: Direct Speech: She said, “I am buying a laptop today.”
Indirect speech: She said that she was buying a laptop that day.
Read the video transcript of America’s President Barack Obama. Find out the issue
he has presented in his message to the American people.
There’s been a lot of discussion lately of the politics of this shutdown. But
the truth is, there were no winners in this. At a time when our economy
needs more growth and more jobs, the manufactured crises of these last
few weeks actually harmed jobs and growth. And it’s understandable that
your frustration with what goes on in Washington has never been higher.
The way business is done in Washington has to change. Now that these
clouds of crisis and uncertainty have lifted, we need to focus on what the
majority of Americans sent us here to do – grow the economy, create good
jobs, strengthen the middle class, lay the foundation for broad-based
prosperity, and get our fiscal house in order for the long haul.
It won’t be easy. But we can make progress. Specifically, there are three
places where I believe that Democrats and Republicans can work together
right away.
4
First, we should sit down and pursue a balanced approach to a
responsible budget, one that grows our economy faster and shrinks
our long-term deficits further. There is no choice between growth and
fiscal responsibility – we need both. So we’re making a serious
mistake if a budget doesn’t focus on what you’re focused on: creating
more good jobs that pay better wages. If we’re going to free up
resources for the things that help us grow – education, infrastructure,
research – we should cut what we don’t need, and close corporate tax
loopholes that don’t help create jobs. This shouldn’t be as difficult as
it has been in past years. Remember, our deficits are shrinking – not
growing.
Third, we should pass a farm bill – one that America’s farmers and
ranchers can depend on, one that protects vulnerable children and
adults in times of need, and one that gives rural communities
opportunities to grow and the longer-term certainty they deserve.

statement?
5. Is the reasoning sound and logical? (Does one point follow from another?)
8. Is there an issue similar to the one presented here in the Philippines? Explain your
answer.
Statements below are taken from President Obama’s There Were No Winners
address. Identify which among the statements contain factual information (statements
that can be verified or proven to be true or false) or subjective content (involves
judgment, feeling, opinion, intuition, or emotion rather than factual information). Write
F for factual and S for subjective.

4. Niko said, “Mommy and I will watch the play in Resorts World.”
Niko said he and his Mommy will watch the play in Resorts World
➢ Learning Task 5.
A. You will watch the video of Death of a Salesman, Act I from Longmont High School
Drama Club from : www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDgpeV3D7XE.
Did you enjoy watching the video? Don’t forget your answers as you will validate them
when you read Act II and Requiem of Death of a Salesman.
Also, in this activity you made reasonable guesses. You have predicted possible
events that could take place in the play. You backed up your predictions with reasons
or justifications.
Sequencing Events is the process of arranging the events in a plot of a story, play or
movies that has been watched or read. This is done using your deductive skill as a
reader.
8
Arrange the events according to how they happened in the play. Number them 1-9.

I. Reality sets in, Linda finds Willy outside. Mother
and sons discuss Willy’s condition, scolds Biff
for arguing with his father. Biff tells her Willy is
a fake but does not explain why. Linda tells
them that Willy has tried to kill himself. Happy
rebukes Biff for not making it big in the business
world.
You are given another opportunity to watch Act 1 of Death of a Salesman on video.
This time get yourself ready to write a play review about it. Be guided by the parts of
the play review.
• Introduction
• Body of the Paper: The Review (including the performance of the cast and the
technical aspect of production)
• Conclusion (recommendation)
10
Take note of the standard for scoring your play review.
