Activity1. This is Me. Let’s Pack Up!

A. Red-Head Riot (excerpt)

As I walked down the grassy, waterfront slope to P.E, I marvelled at the fact
that I was in second grade, the vast field a model of my mind. My mind swirled
from the number of friends I made last year, and how it felt like I knew
practically everyone. Everyone was so nice to me, and I wondered why others
said it was normal for them. Could it have been the fact I was bullied to a
point where anything else was considered nice?

“All right, guys. Today partners are required,” said Mr. Dutra. I listened
halfway, but I was swept off my feet by my good friend, Mia.
Mia was the type of person who you can’t help being friends with. She had
frizzy, brown hair that jumped with every step; soft, chocolate skin; and
round, almond eyes that glittered with their own spirit, giving her a spark.
She was a generous and caring person as well.

B. A Trip to Baguio City

Traveling is the best way to spend a memorable moment with your family.
A time to set aside the problems and relax. We all know that Baguio City is
one of the well-known places here in the Philippines because of its lovely
tourist spots and the freezing temperature. Seven years ago, April 2010 I was
given the opportunity to visit one of the ravishing places in the Philippines.

As impossible as I thought it would be, I was still shivering under the

countless number of layers I had on, as the icy, cruel wind blew onto my
already frozen face. Before leaving for the trip, my parents and I made sure
that I had more clothes than I’d ever wear, so as to keep ourselves warm.
Hours had passed, we arrived at Baguio City. The excitement flowed to every
part of my body as I stepped out of the bus and smelled the fresh air that
touched my skin. We stayed at the Teachers Camp. I was amazed by the place
because of the pine trees and a wide array of beautiful flowers that
surrounded it.

The most awaited day came. We presented our speech choir piece before
a crowd, but sad to say we didn’t make it. We decided to roam around the city
to marvel at the beautiful tourist attractions- Burnham Park, Botanical
Garden, Mines View Park, Wright Park, The Mansion, Philippine Military
Academy, Camp John Hay and many more. These were the places we visited.

3
 Even though the time we spent there was limited, we still enjoyed. I wish
I could visit Baguio City again.

 Lesson
1 Personal Narratives

Let Us Study

Are you excited to know what personal narratives are?

Personal narratives are a form of writing in which the writer relates one
event, incident, or experience from his/her life. It allows you, the writer, to
share your life with others, indirectly experiencing things you describe. Your
job as a writer is to put the reader in the middle of the action, letting them
live through an event, incident, or experience. It also incorporates true to life
descriptive details, as well as the thoughts, feelings, and reactions of the
writer.

The element that distinguishes creative nonfiction from any other genre
of writing is that while other genre is written from an imagination of the writer,
creative nonfiction is, by definition, true. A personal narrative is a true story
about your life. Your story must have a beginning, middle and ending and
setting- so the reader will know where they are by describing where you are,
and the details- so the reader can see where they are and understand what is
happening in the story. These are the most important things to remember in
writing a personal narrative.

The main elements of creative nonfiction are setting, descriptive

imagery, figurative language, plot, and character.

1. Setting is where the story takes place. The writer must establish the
setting in a way which immerses the reader; by showing rather than
telling.

Take a look on this example!

Telling
• I went to the lake. It was cool.

Showing

• My breath almost stopped, my thighs burning as I reached into the

summit. The lake extended before me, aquamarine glistening in the
hot August afternoon sun. Pine trees lined its shores, dropping their

5
 spicy-scented needles into the clear water. Despite the heat, the
mountain air tasted crisp.

2. Descriptive imagery is the way the writer paints a scene or an image in

the mind of the reader which involves descriptions of one or more of the
five senses. For example, how are you going to describe an apple to a
person who has never seen one before? How are you going to describe it
using the five senses; sight, sound, smell, taste and touch? So, one might
describe an apple as red, sweet- smelling and tasting and the sound of
the apple as a knock as it dropped on the table. By painting a picture in
the reader's mind, it immerses them in the story so that they feel they
are actually there.

3. Figurative Language can take the form of a metaphor saying, “Aunt

Becky’s attitude is as sweet as an apple.” By comparing an abstract
concept (attitude) to an object (apple), it imparts a feeling/meaning in a
more interesting way.

4. Plot is one of the basic elements of every story. It refers to the actual
events that take place within the bounds of the narrative. As defined,
“plot” is identified as the primary subject of a descriptive personal
narrative. Three related elements to consider are scope, sequence, and
pacing.

5. Character is a major requirement of any story because characters bring

life to the story. Keep in mind that while human characters are most
frequently featured in stories, sometimes there are non-human
characters in a story such as animals or even the environment itself.

Lesson
2 Travelogue
Welcome to your next lesson. Are you ready to share your experiences about
your travel? Now, let’s dig in.

A travelogue is a person's account of a journey to another country or

place. It can either be a written report with many factual details or
a narrative story about personal impressions and experiences supported by
images.
Travelogue does not only refer to something in a written form decorated
with a few pictures, but a piece of writing, the first thing that we imagine when

7
we hear this word. A story about journey can also be demonstrated as a
motion picture (film), lecture, or talk accompanied by photos or a
presentation.
It can also exist in the form of a book, a blog, a diary or journal, an
article or essay, a podcast, a lecture, a narrated slide show, or in virtually
every written or spoken form of creation.

As a rule, creative writing has no limitations. Since a travelogue is not

a poem, you don’t write it only to express your deep feelings and
philosophical beliefs but you are writing it for a certain audience (readers),
so make sure that they will enjoy reading your travelogue.

There are three elements of a travelogue: introduction, main body, and

conclusion.

1. Introduction - catchy, attractive, and short – these words are the main
characteristics of your perfect introduction. The main purpose of this part
is to grab readers’ attention, so don’t forget to add an awesome photo
about your journey.

2. Main body - the heart of your writing. Try to alternate useful facts with
poetic descriptions of beautiful landscapes. In such manner, your readers
will get necessary information and won’t get bored reading your travel
blogs.

3. Conclusion - the character of the conclusion depends on your general

purpose whether if you want to thank locals or friends for their
hospitality, express your gratitude in a closing paragraph or if you want
to encourage your audience to visit this destination. You may add a
motivational phrase at the end of your travelogue.

 Travelogue {Cebu City, The Philippines)
June 15, 2010

On our recent trip to The Philippines, we spent a good five days or so in Cebu.
Our main motivation for visiting the island was to attend our friends’ wedding
ceremony. Since we knew that our main priorities were hanging out with our
friends and reuniting a couple of long-lost playmates, we put very little (i.e.
none at all) thought into what we should see or do in Cebu. Our slack attitude
totally paid off though. With nothing planned, we were totally and completely
free to do whatever our friends suggested. Laziness pays off! For once!

: : D O : : Enjoy the Hotel Facilities

Our arrival day was reserved for frolicking in the water park and eating too
much ice cream. Day two was the wedding, and so we had a quick swim in
the morning, and then spent the rest of the day being super excited about
wearing pretty dresses (Stella) and being super excited about attending a
pretty event (me.) But Cebu offers some amazing opportunity for things to see
and do.

My children would have been completely happy to spend five days frolicking
on the splash pad at the hotel. It was incredibly fun, to be fair. And reserving
one or two slow days for this type of thing is just about right, I think.

When the kids get tired off all that sun, there is also a phenomenal indoor
playground for bigger kids, with a drop slide, bouncy castles, ball cribs, and
other amazing fun playthings various and sundry. Next door was also a little
play room for toddlers. However, make sure you bring socks. They're required
for using the indoor playground.

Right off the shore of the hotel beach, there's a coral reef, a fish sanctuary of
sorts. It's not in the very best shape (I imagine that it gets a lot of traffic from
inexperienced snorkelers) BUT it is quite amazing to be able to step out for an
hour and float around and fish watch. And even though this site is right next
to a huge resort, it is teaming with life. I spotted a few new to me fish,
including some kind of cool looking water snake.

Island Hopping in Cebu

Island hopping is a must do, in Cebu. The day after the wedding, the lovely
couple organized an island-hopping trip for us and a few other friends. This
was easily a highlight of our trip, and an experience I cannot recommend
highly enough. We rented a repurposed fishing boat and bobbed around the
waters just off Cebu. (More on this in another post.)

9
Swimming with the Whale Sharks in Oslob

Swimming with Whale Sharks in Oslob was an unforgettable part of our trip
to Cebu. We drove with our friends about 120 KM South-West of Cebu City to
Oslob. We got to swim literally meters away from wild whale sharks, watching
them right up close, feeding and diving, and drifting along in the water. It was
phenomenal, and so worth the early morning, and the long drive out there.

Tumalog Falls

These stunning waterfalls in Oslob are worth a stop if you're visiting for the
whale sharks. The cool, freshwater pools, turquoise water, and stunning views
make this place a standout.

:: EAT::

I don't know if this is fair to say, but I wasn't overly wowed with the food in
the Philippines. Maybe it's because food here doesn't get much press and I
don't know what to look out for? Or maybe because I had the flu and couldn't
taste of smell anything for the first half of the trip? Whatever the reason, I was
a bit meh about the food options.

However, I did go quite mental for Lechon, which is beautiful roast pork,
cooked whole on a spit, and served with liver sauce. You guys, it's seriously
something else. I also ate my weight in mangos, which were amongst the best
I've ever had.

:: BRING ::

You'll find basically everything you need in Cebu City. It's the second largest
city in the Philippines, and totally well stocked. Of course, if your kids need a
special kind of diapers or formula, bring that. But you'll be able to find
anything you need here.

Much to my surprise, I found a lot of hippie BS food items and packaged baby
food nonsense that I can never find in Jakarta.

Suit yourselves up well for the sun. Rashies, hats, sunglasses, and water
shoes are all a must. And seriously, bring like two tubes extra of sunscreen.

I'd also suggest activities for the car if you're planning on taking the kids on
any day trips. Traffic is really slow.

Also, speaking of traffic, car seats are not really a thing in South-East Asia.
So, if you will be doing any car travel and are uncomfortable with your kids
rattling around in the back seat, think about bringing car seats.

10
Cebu was a great place to travel with kids. Easily accessible, lots of things to
do, good infrastructure, and totally unintimidating. I'll write more next week
about island hopping and the whale sharks. Those experiences were so
special, I feel like they need their own posts.

Note: This travelogue (owner’s original blog) is represented with images/pictures to

show the truthful account of the writer’s personal blogs.

 Let Us Remember
Personal Narratives

ü A personal narrative is a literary form of writing, narrating a true

account of experiences shared, and written by the person who actually
experienced it, creating it more captivating for his/her reader’s
interest.
ü The inclusion of a thesis statement is what differentiates a narrative
essay from a narrative. The narrative essay includes a point about
the story, but a narrative is just the story itself.
ü A good personal narrative, like a good story, creates a dramatic effect,
makes us laugh, gives us a pleasurable fear or gets us on the edge of
our seats (as if we are watching a horror movie).

Travelogue

ü Travelogue is a person's account of a journey to another country or

place, sharing his/her significant experiences with that particular
place he/she has been.
ü A travelogue is always accompanied with pictures of the places the
writer has been, to make the story more captivating and truthful since
it is his first-hand experience which makes the readers interested to
read.
ü Personal narratives and travelogue are writing forms in which the
content is all about the personal experiences of the writer.

Activity 7. Check on this!

Read and rate the sample narratives. Refer to the given rubrics.

Personal Narrative

Going to the doctor is never an experience I look forward to, but my visit
to Dr. Kellsington’s office last week really takes the cake. First of all, I was
only there for a physical exam, so I could join the swim team at school. Even
so, I was kind of creeped-out having to be around medical stuff and the smell
that rubbing alcohol-smell.
The nurse put me in a little room, and I spent another fifteen minutes
waiting for Dr. Kellsington to arrive. Before he came in, a nurse arrived and
thought I was some other kid. She came at me with a huge hypodermic needle
saying, “Let’s numb the area then Dr. K. can take that off for you.” I panicked,
let me tell you.
“I’m just here for a swim team physical!” I shouted, backing away from
Nurse Needle. I wanted out of that place, fast. She started at me strangely and
then checked the name on y chart.
“oh,” she said. “I thought you were someone else.”
It was enough to give a kid heart failure.

My Wonders of Tagaytay!
Cassandra June Ortega

I’ve been to so many places, but I never thought that Tagaytay is one of the
most beautiful places I’ve been to. When I was in Grade 3, I first experienced riding
in a bus, where my classmates are with me. My first Field Trip was in Tagaytay. I
was so happy that my parents allowed me to go there. So, that day came and I woke
up earlier than ever before I got to school at 4:00, and I found my bestfriend on the
bus, sitting with her mother. I was with my Mom and Dad. Oh, my sister was there
too.
The bus was full at 5:30, as we departed all of us were so excited. After an
hour, I guess, the bus stopped at a gasoline station surrounded with restaurants
and shops. We bought food at Mcdo, my favorite. Finally, we moved on and got to the
bus. After a while, my classmates were in the bus. All in! While the bus was on its
way to Tagaytay, I ate my fries from Mcdo.

When we arrived at our first destination, Leisure Park, we got into the Coffee
Farm. After, the guide showed us Flower Gardens and the Worms World. There, I
first touched a worm. Even though it`s an “eew” still, I touched it and it tickled me,
especially when it was on my palm. Anyways, when we got to the Butterfly Garden,
we first passed through a Wishing Well. Too bad, I don`t have any wish with me.
Then, after that we got into the bus again and went in the famous castle in Tagaytay,
Fantasy World. I saw the castle painted with different colors. I also saw a hanging
bridge, it was so scary, but I wanted to get pass through it. There, I also saw the Taal
Volcano from the castle. After, we got into the Gardenia Factory at Batangas. We got
home, safely. Even though I got so tired, I enjoyed it.

Congratulations!

Am sure you had a great time reading the narratives, now it’s time for you to apply
your observation and understanding by doing the checklist!

15
Do this!

Put a check in the appropriate column for each criterion if you think the following is
observed on the narratives you have read. If you have suggestions or comments
about the criterion, you may write it in the Remarks column.

Criteria Yes No Remarks

Awakens and focuses interest on the

writer’s purpose. It is persuasive.

Does not attempt to generate interest.

Serious problems with clarity or focus.

Draws the reader deeply into the scene

through a wide variety of senses: sight,
sound, smell, feel, taste. Writes with
nouns and active verbs.

Has a consistent and compelling narrative

line that is well-shaped, distinct, and
captivating.

The writer is not aware of the audience’

needs; most of the time confuses the
reader.

The sequence of events and ideas

presented are not chronologically
arranged.

The writer is fully aware of an audience

and accommodates readers’ needs
throughout.

Let Us Reflect

In this module, you have learned how to evaluate a travelogue and

personal narrative. These skills are very important as your guide as you write
your own travelogues and personal narratives in keeping a memory of the very
important events in your life.
