    Study Notes

    English Reviewer Quarter 3 - Lesson 1: Examining Biases Made by the Author

    • Bias in Writing involves prejudice against something, or favoritism for something. It occurs when an author's feelings or emotions cloud their objectivity.

    • Biased Writing is characterized by subjectivity, unfair presentation, and focusing on only one side of an issue.

    • Unbiased Writing is objective, presents a fair view, and focuses on both sides of an issue.

    • When an Author Becomes Biased: This occurs when an author persuades the reader to believe their stand, or gives inaccurate information, intending to mislead the reader, whether or not they include factual information.

    • How to Determine Author Biases:

      • Understand the author's purpose.
      • Analyze the use of evidence and diction.
      • Examine evidence, including facts, testimonies, direct observations, scientific and legal findings, anecdotes, and philosophical evidence.
      • Pay attention to diction, or word choice. Words/phrases can convey the author's stand on an issue with either positive or negative connotations.
    • Recognizing Bias:

      • Watch for loaded words, words that are emotionally charged.

    English Reviewer Quarter 3 - Lesson 2: Propaganda Techniques

    • Propaganda is a media strategy that manipulates people's actions and beliefs using carefully crafted messages. Techniques include influencing, dictating, entertaining, and persuading audiences.

    • Ability to Spot Propaganda: Recognizing propaganda makes one a better reader and able to separate information from persuasion.

    English Reviewer Quarter 3 - Lesson 3: Language Styles

    • Taglines are short, memorable phrases often utilized in marketing.

    • Slogans are short phrases used in marketing, but are typically temporary.

    • Pun Words are words and phrases used in a clever and striking manner, often enhancing marketing campaigns.

    English Reviewer Quarter 3 - Lesson 4: Analyzing Literature as Shared Heritage of People With Diverse Backgrounds

    • Elements of a Story:
      • Setting: The time and place of a story.
      • Character: Characters, including the protagonist (usually the 'good guy') and antagonist (the 'bad guy').
      • Conflict: The problem or struggle in a story, including both internal (within the character's mind) and external struggles.
      • Theme: The main idea or message of a piece of literature.
      • Plot: The sequence of main events presented, encompassing Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Resolution.

    English Reviewer Quarter 3 - Lesson 5: Using Appropriate Cohesive Devices in Various Types of Speech

    • Cohesion: The way a text is logically connected and makes sense.

    • Cohesive Devices are words or phrases that link paragraphs or sections, which helps clarify the message and make it more understandable. Examples include linking words, connectors, discourse markers, and transition words.

    • Pointers: Words or ideas repeated in a paragraph. This can include synonyms or pronouns.

    • Transition Words: Words/phrases that show a change or connection between parts of a text. Examples include conjunctions and adverbial conjunctions.

    English Reviewer Quarter 3 - Lesson 6: Using Parallel Structures

    • Parallelism is the use of similar grammatical structures in words, phrases, clauses, or sentences to emphasize equal importance of ideas.

    • Parallelism Rules use parallel structure with coordinating conjunctions. Examples include using verbs in the same tense, or using similar types of words or phrases in an easy-to-follow sequence. A sentence can include words starting with "to" (ie., "to walk, to run, to eat").

    ###Additional Notes from Throughout the document

    • Connotations: suggested meaning of words based on emotion.
    • Stereotypes: Characteristics that are simplistically or incorrectly assigned to groups of people.
    • Vague language: Language that lacks specificity and provides no concrete details.
    • One-sided arguments: Present only one side of an issue.
    • Facts and Opinions: Facts can be proven; opinions are beliefs or judgments (not provable).
    • Statistics: Data involving numbers.
    • Infinitives: 'to' + verb (e.g., to eat, to run).
    • Parallel Structure: Using similar grammatical structures in a series or within a single sentence to emphasize equal importance of terms or concepts.
