I. Lesson Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. Identify academic and non-academic writing.
2. Understand the features of academic writing and their importance.
Teacher: "In academic writing, we focus on objectivity, formality,
precision, and explicitness."
Teacher:" For example, instead of saying, 'You can see the result in table
one,' we say, 'The result can be seen in Table 1.' This is more formal and
objective."
Student: "So, we avoid saying 'I think' in academic writing?"
Teacher: "Exactly. It’s better to focus on facts and evidence."
Teacher: "And for non-academic writing, it’s more relaxed and personal,
right?"
Student: "Yes, like in my blog post about my weekend."
Teacher: “Do you have any questions?”
“Okay if there’s none, let’s have our group activity.”
D. ELABORATE (10 minutes)
Teacher: “This time, I will distribute sample texts wherein you will
identify whether it is academic or non-academic writing. This will be
done by group.
This row will be group 1, and this row will be group 2.”
Teacher: "Group 1, what example did you get? Is it academic or non-
academic? Why?"
Student 4: "This looks like a letter I’d send to a friend. It’s casual and
personal."
Teacher: "Right. And Group 2, what about this yours?"
Student 5: "It’s formal, uses technical words, and has references."
(assuming the teacher is done with the explanation)
Teacher: “How did you feel about the activity?”
“Okay nice.”
