English 8

This module is developed based on the Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) presented in the English 8 curriculum guide for the third quarter. This module is split into self-contained units with their activities and notes for further reading. 

Also, this module focuses on the importance of recognizing biases found in texts. Understanding these biases will help you examine unfair and baseless opinions made by some authors on a certain issue. Hence, the lesson will enable you to become critical and active readers that are able to discern and evaluate messages. 

 The Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) covered in this module is to examine biases (for or against) made by the author, EN8RC-IIIg-3.1.12.

1.            determine the concept of bias;

2.            identify the author’s biases in given statements; 

3.            recognize if the message of the author is for or against a certain issue;

4.            evaluate biases found in a text by determining the author’s use of diction and evidence; and

5.            create a message that promotes fair and unbiased writing.
