D. Discussing new Before we proceed, do you know that we Expected Answer
concepts and practicing have three (3) forms of writing?
new skills #1 These are: imaginative or creative
writing, technical writing, and
academic writing. Imaginative or
Creative Writing expresses ideas and
thoughts in an imaginative way. It is also
the art of making things to be able to
express feelings and emotions. Some of
the by- products of Imaginative Writing
are novels, poems, epics, short stories,
screen plays, songs and television
scripts. Technical Writing, on the other
hand, is a type of writing where the
author is writing about a particular
subject that requires direction,
instruction, and explanation. This form
of writing is very apparent in the
following documents; user manuals,
software installation guide, service level
agreement, request for proposal, and
some company documents. However, in
Academic Writing, it is done to fulfill a
requirement of a college or university.
And the most common example is a
Research Paper.

Prompt: The Life of a Butterfly vary.
The little caterpillar dreamed of flying,
even before she understood what wings
were. She munched on green leaves
beneath the golden sun, unaware that
change stirred within her. One morning,
wrapped tightly in her silky cocoon, she
slept for what felt like forever. Then, as
the first breeze of spring whispered
through the garden, she emerged—
delicate, radiant, and new. With wings
painted in colors the sky had never
seen, she finally danced on the wind,
just as she had always imagined.

roar, fire and ash erupted into the
heavens, lighting up the night like a
thousand torches. Lava flowed like rivers
of anger, consuming everything in its
path. Nature had spoken — wild,
untamed, and unstoppable.
