 This module will help us to identify the unique features of and requirements in composing
texts that are useful across disciplines: Book Review, Literature Review, Research Report,
Project Proposal, Position Paper biases done by the author. Academic writing clear, concise,
focussed, structured and backed up by evidence. The things that we are going to discuss in this
module is a big help in order for you to understand more the purposeful writing in the disciplines
and for professions which you are to do at the end of the quarter.

Are you ready? Let’s go!

Let us Learn!
Read and understand the discussions carefully. If you have any clarifications, do not
hesitate to ask your subject teacher. You are also highly encouraged to attend your scheduled
online class to thoroughly comprehend this lesson.

Purposeful Writing in the Disciplines!

We are about to do your mini task for this module. You are to write each type of academic
writing. Before we proceed to that activity, let us first discuss various types of academic writing.

Academic Writing
It is a formal style of writing used in universities and scholarly publications. is clear,
concise, focused, structured and backed up by evidence. Its purpose is to aid the reader's
understanding. It has a formal tone and style, but it is not complex and does not require the
use of long sentences and complicated vocabulary.

Types of Academic Writing

1. BOOK REVIEW – It is critical assessment of a book based on key points like content,
style, plot, author, quality, etc. It is not a mere summary but a commentary, because
you are allowed to evaluate and to judge an author’s work. In a book review, you are

4|P age
free to agree or to disagree with the author or the readers. As book reviewer, you give
the readers a sneak peak or idea what the book is like, without revealing plot twists to
the readers. Its length may vary from 500 to 700 words, but may be shorter or longer

A book review should not be confused with a book report. A book report commonly
describes what happens in a work and focuses on the major plot, characters and main
idea of a book.

Below is a comparison of a book review from a book report from privatewriting.com

evaluation of a book. In doing this, a
reviewer needs to:

B. Understand the plot

Four Stages in Writing Book Review

1. Before you read – there will be elements that you need to consider before
beginning to write your review of a book. By considering these elements, your
book review would be a lot easier to write.

A. Author
B. Title
C. Genre
D. Preface
E. Introduction
F. Table of Contents
G. Cover/Book Jacket
H. Abstract or Summaries
2. As you read – this time, pay more attention to the Introduction and Preface. If
at first you considered checking these parts, that is you an idea of the author’s

5|P age
 perspectives or his or her reasons for writing the book. Take note too of the
book’s genre – that a book being reviewed may be fiction or non-fiction. While
some books can be simple, other books may be complicated. Some books like
romance, novels, etc., include characters, settings, dialogue, plots, etc., that
you need to evaluate, too.

3. Writing the Review – begin with a couple of sentences describing what book
is about. This will give your audience or readers a background of the work. Many
of those who have done their book reviews limited themselves to some chapters
only, enough to lead the readers to the complication part or the rising action in
the plot development.

4. Revising – after having written your draft, it is now time to revise. Revising
means making changes or doing some modifications in your paper. But you
should not revise your paper right after you have written it. Allow at least a day
elapse before starting your revisions. Writers get so absorbed with what they
have written that most of the time, they miss the typos and other mistakes they
have committed. After allowing time to pass, read your paper through again and
check for grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes. Check for unity,
organization and logical development. Make sure that you check your main
points clearly. If you discover that you have done repetitions in your ideas,
correct them. Make sure that you have explained your point well.

Let’s Try It Out!

Directions: Read the book of Jose Garcia Villa “A Footnote to youth” and write a review about
the book. You may use the back of your module for your answer.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW – It is an assessment of a body of research that addresses a

research question. It is the process of reading, analyzing, evaluating, and summarizing

scholarly materials about a specific topic. It is the process of reading, analyzing,
evaluating, and summarizing scholarly materials about a specific topic discusses

6|P age
published information in a subject area, and sometimes information in a particular
subject area within a certain period of time. It can simply be a summary of the sources
where it gives a recapitulation of the important information of the source. It can also
be an evaluation of the sources, which can be taken as an advice for the readers to

consider them relevant or not. It can be a precursor in the introduction of a research

paper, or it can be an entire paper in itself, often the first stage of large research
projects, allowing the supervisor to ascertain that the student is on the correct path.

Types of Literature Review

1. Stand Alone Literature Review. This review provides an overview and analysis
of the current state of research on a topic or question. Normally, this is just an
assignment for a college class that is not intended to be part of a thesis or
dissertation

2. Part of a Research Proposal. This review is important in demonstrating how a

proposed research will be useful to a particular field. This is used in class projects,
research, thesis and dissertations.

3. Part of a Research Report. This review will provide the context to which a
researcher's work is a contribution.

Writing a Stand-Alone Literature Review

1. Make sure that you know what is expected of you.

a. On which topic are you doing your review?

b. How long should it be? (Your teacher may give you the number of words or the
number of pages for the paper's length.)

c. How many papers are you supposed to be reviewing? (You will have to narrow
down the number of papers to be reviewed.)

d. What kind of papers are you allowed to include in your review? (You might be
instructed to do a review of journal articles, newspaper articles, book chapters,
blog posts, etc.)

e. Do you need to include headings and subheadings?

f. Are you supposed to use a specific referencing style? (Referencing style can
be APA, MLA, etc.)

g. When is the paper due?

7|P age
2. Identify keywords around your topic.

a. Identify keywords in your topic.

b. Think of all possible synonyms and variations of the words you have identified.

For example: Drills on conflagration in academic institutions.

The keywords: drills, conflagration, academic institutions
Synonyms: drills -exercises, practice, approach:
conflagration - fire, blaze, arson
academic - educational, scholastic
institution - establishment, foundation
3. Begin your literature search. It may be easier to check the internet for sources
of information, but it is advised that you go to your school library in searching
for resources. The keywords that you have identified in step 3 are what you can
use to look for relevant sources of information for your topic.

4. Read the documents that you have found and take notes. Not all of the
sources that you have found are useful for your review. Therefore. you have to
choose those that are interesting. Taking notes on the other hand will help you
avoid unintentional plagiarism. Plagiarism is defined as stealing one's idea.
More often than not, this mistake is committed by researchers without any
intention of doing so. To avoid this, always take notes but make sure that your
notes are accompanied by the exact reference of the document you are reading:
Title, author, date, and page number. If you think that quoting a person or author
in his or her exact words will give your paper edge in proving your point, use
quotation marks to show that the statement is not yours. When paraphrasing,
take caution by not including your opinion or point of view. Your paraphrase
should stick to the ideas given by an author or a writer.

5. Decide on the structure of your review. Depending on the topic being

reviewed, you must choose the best structure in writing your paper.

Here are some examples of how you can structure your literature review:

a. From general concepts to specific concepts or vice-versa

b. By chronological order
c. By theme
d. Type of research
e. By topic
6. Write your review. This will be your draft. There will be three parts.
Introduction, Body and Conclusion. This does not mean that your paper is
limited to three paragraphs - one paragraphs for each part. As mentioned
earlier, the length of your review depends on the topic you are assigned, and
on the instruction your teacher will give you.

8|P age
 A. Introduction. Begin with your Introduction, where your identity your topic of
concern. The length of your introduction may vary.

B. Body. This part is where the analysis of your literature review is discussed.
Like the Introduction, the length of the Body of your review depends on how
much information you got. If it is long and would take some pages, you may
use headings to organize your ideas.

C. Conclusion. Your conclusion should always have two parts: a summary of

what you have written and an opening that would lead others to write a follow
up review of your paper.

7. Edit, proofread and revise your paper.

a. Proofread for errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuations.

b. Pay attention to sentence structures.

c. Omit wordy or redundant phrases and sentences.

d. Check for unity of ideas.

e. Check for proper referencing of your sources.

Let’s Try It Out!

Directions: Read the paragraph below and identify if it is a good or a bad review. Explain your
reason for your answer. Write your answer on the blanks provided.

The victims of sexual harassment suffer a range of consequences, from lowered self-
esteem and loss of self-confidence to withdrawal from social interaction, changed career goals,
and depression (Adams, Kottke and Padgitt, 1983; Benson and Thomson, 1982; Dziech and
Weiner, 1990). For example, Adams, Kottke and Padgitt (1983) noted that 13 percent of women
students said they avoided taking a class or working with certain professors because of the risk
of harassment. (Source: www.uccs.edu)

3. RESEARCH PAPER – It is derived from the Middle French “recherche”, which means
“to go about seeking”, the term itself being derived from the Old French term “recerchier”
a compound word from “re-“+ “cerchier”, or “searcher”, meaning ‘search’. It is the
systematic process of gathering and analyzing data to establish a plan of action. It is
simply the collection of facts, information or details on a particular subject.

Importance of Research
Everything in the world is changing. People are changing. For the past years,
we have been experiencing climate change. Society, technology, theories and even laws
change. In short, no one is spared from it. As matter of fact, research was defined as a
vehicle for mobility. If these things continue with these transformations, then research is
imperative. There is a need to explain things, and to explain phenomena will need a
thorough study. Research, therefore, will help you and all people to discover and to explain
facts that may be the reason why a modification in almost everything is happening. As
Fermin (1999) “truth exposes that man’s life is always touched by the products of reseach.”

Characteristics of a Good Research

There are certain characteristics that make a research acceptable.

1. It is accurate. The data are correct, true and not fabricated.

2. It is logical and objective. It deals with facts and not the opinion of the researcher.

3. It is relevant. It can be used to improve conditions and solve problems.

4. It is patiently done. The researcher devoted enough time to gather his data carefully.

5. It is specific, measurable and attainable.

6. It is systematic and is carefully planned

7. It is timely. The topic is new and can be useful to others at present.

8. It is clear. It made use of the correct language and has no stumbling blocks.

9. It is complete. All the basic parts of a research are included in the paper

10. It is presentable. The physical quality from the margin, spacing, paper quality, paper
size, etc., is neat.

10 | P a g e
Steps Involved in Preparing a Research
The following are the suggested steps in writing a research:

1. Choosing a Topic. Selecting a topic may not be easy for all students who will be
doing a research. In choosing a topic, consider something which is not complicated
and will bring definite results to your questions. You have to make sure that you do
not choose a topic or subject that will give you a broad information, otherwise your
hands will be full. Do not choose one too narrow or you will have less information
and may not be able to prove or answer what you want to discover. It is best if you
can choose a topic that you are interested in because your curiosity will motivate
you to know more about your interest. Make sure your topic is new and not just a
follow-up of another researcher's work. After all, research is meant to discover
things not found out yet.

2. Narrowing a Subject. It means to limit it too small or specific topics.

3. Taking Down Notes. As you read, you must jot down important information like
the source, topic or heading that you can use as a guide. Take down notes
concisely and accurately.

4. Formulating the Thesis Statement. The thesis statement is a statement that

contains the main idea of your research. It limits the scope of a study.

5. Drafting the Outline. An outline, it is general plan of what you intend to write.

6. Writing the first draft. To write your first draft, begin with the first topic in your
outline. Read the information you have gathered and then start writing based on
the idea of what you have read.

7. Documenting and Writing In-Text Citations. Documentation is defined as the

recording of published source materials for the research report. It can also be
defined as the acknowledgment of the sources or references used in a research.

8. Preparing the Bibliography. Bibliography is a list of the books or works that you
have read and or consulted in writing your research paper.

9. Revising your draft. Proofreading is to check the errors in writing.

10. Writing the Final Research Paper

Preliminary Parts of a Research Paper

1. Title Page – this is the page that is the easiest to prepare. It tells the readers what the
paper is about. In writing this page, make use of the format your professor will requires
you to follow.

11 | P a g e
 2. Approval Sheet – this document shows if your committee has approved the contents
of your paper. A copy is given to the school and forms part of your official record.

3. Acknowledgment – this page shows the people whom the writer wishes to thank.
Generally, these are the people who have helped, inspired and supported the writer
throughout the writing process

4. Table of Contents - This page lists the contents of the paper and the pages where to
find them.

4. PROJECT PROPOSAL – it is a document that is designed to present a plan of action

and the reasons for considering such plan.

Four Basic Parts of a Project Proposal

1. INTRODUCTION. In this part, one sets down all the data that are needed. tells what
the topic is about, and identifies the reasons why the project is a good topic. Some
prefer to write the introduction after having finished the project. This is because the
writer is able to see the whole picture of his or her research and to really determine if

2. his or her research and to really determine if the project is necessary.

12 | P a g e
 the project is necessary. Writing the introduction last gives him or her ample time to
work on his

or her introduction based on the research itself.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW OR THE BACKGROUND. This part is where you identify

or discuss the books and other reading or source materials that you will be using for
your research. Remember to include all the source materials that you will mention in
this section in your bibliography - a list of works referred to or used in your research.

3. PROCEDURE. The procedure states how you would carry out your research and
how yon propose to carry out your plan in solving the problem, including the time that
you allocate to finish the project.

Some of the questions you are expected by the readers to answer in this part of your
research are the following:

a. How will you solve your objectives?

b. What method or process will you use to analyze your data?
c. What materials will you need to carry out your project?
d. How long do you need to finish your project?
e. What kind of data do you need and how will you collect them?
f. How much budget will you need to carry out this project?
4. BUDGET. This part gives all the anticipated expenses you are expected to incur.
The more information you can give as to the anticipated expenses like labor,
transportation or travel expenses, supplies, etc., the better your proposed budget is.
The breakdown of your budget though is to be included in the Appendix.

Other Sections of the Proposal

1. THE TITLE PAGE. This section contains the title of the project, your name as the
author, or names of your co-authors if you are working with others. It also includes the
name of your adviser, and the date of the submission.

2. ABSTRACT. An abstract is a short statement of the topic, procedure and the expected
outcome of the project. Brevity of statement means about3 to 4 sentences only.

3. TABLE OF CONTENTS. This is a list of divisions like chapters and articles and the
pages on which they can be found.

4. REFERENCES. This is a list of books, magazines, articles, etc., that are mentioned in
the project.

5. APPENDICES. This is a section of extra information added at the end of the proposal.
Too lengthy materials are included in the appendix (singular form for appendices).

13 | P a g e
Proposal Letter and Its Basic Parts
A proposal letter is a letter that a researcher uses as his cover letter for his
research. Like any other letter, the proposal letter is designed to acquaint the readers of
the necessary information with the intention of convincing the teacher or professor that it
is the best choice or proposal to solve a problem. Some proposal letters do not really
have a specific format and writers are free to choose their own form especially when it
comes to business because the format would depend on the request or the need of the
company. In some cases, though it needs to follow a certain format and style like in
schools where the teachers or professors require students to follow the format they will
provide.

A proposal letter's tone is persuasive - persuasive because its intention is to

convince the teacher or professor that it is the best topic or proposal to solve a problem,
or in the case of business, to convince the employer to approve the proposal especially
that it entails a request for fund or budget to carry on the research.

Below are the parts of a short form proposal letter which is usually intended to be
prepared by a student and to comply to a requirement.

1. Introduction. In this part, one sets down all the data that are needed to inform the
reader about the problem on hand. The inclusions are the following:

a. Identification of the letter of the proposal io

b. Explanation of the existence of the idea

c. Identification of the subject matter of the proposed research

d. Giving the importance of the present problem

e. Stating the required qualifications for the work

f. Previewing the plan of the letter

2. Body. This is the longest section of the proposal. In this, the writer develops the body
or discussion of the proposal by incorporating the following topics:

a. Need for the solution of the problem

b. Benefits derived from the solution

c. Feasibility of the solution

d. Methods to be used

e. Task’s breakdown

f. Time and work schedule

g. Facilities

5. POSITION PAPER – It is a written piece that presents an arguable statement about a

particular topic. It must demonstrate why you believe your stand is valid and worth
listening to. It takes part in the larger debate on the issue. You need to state and support
your opinion. While writing a position paper, it is mandatory to choose a side on a
particular topic. You need to build up a case to defend your position or opinion. It is
mandatory to use facts, statistics, and evidence to convince your readers that your
position is the best among all.

Components of A Position Paper

• It must be persuasive.

• It should assert an arguable claim.

15 | P a g e
 • It must explain both sides of the argument or the controversy.

• It must contain reasoning and evidence to support the claim.

• It should have a reasonable tone.

Techniques on Writing a Position Paper

1. INTRODUCTION - it should clearly identify the issue and state the author's position.
It should be written in a way that catches readers attention.

2. BODY – it may contain several paragraphs. Each paragraph should present an idea
or main concept that clarifies a portion of the position statement and is supported by
evidence or facts. Evidence can be primary source quotations, statistical data,
interviews with experts, and indisputable dates or events. Evidence should lead,
through inductive reasoning, to the main concept or idea presented in the paragraph.
The body may begin with some background information and should incorporate a
discussion of both sides of the issue.

3. CONCLUSION – it should summarize the main concepts and ideas and reinforce,
without repeating, the introduction or body of the paper. It could include suggested
courses of action and possible solutions.
