In this lesson, you will encounter a new literary piece - a parable, as related to literary genre. Incorporated in this lesson is the use of multimedia that plays an important role in presenting a creative version of a certain literary piece. You have to learn how to use these multimedia to further enhance the quality of your learning outputs. What’s In In the previous module, you have learned of an entertaining and interesting anecdote about a person. Anecdotes and other literary genres have made it possible to present creative literary adaptations. However, there is still a better way of interpreting them with the use of varied multimedia formats. They will also help you present more compelling learning outputs. Before you learn another interesting literary genre and other multimedia presentation tools, take time to answer the following questions: 1. What is an anecdote? 2. What are the different purposes of telling an anecdote? 3. What other literary genres do you like to read? Why does it interest you most? 4. Can you name varied multimedia formats being used to better interpret literary text? Mention a few of them. Notes to the Teacher This module targets a specific Learning Competency (LC). At the end of this lesson, the learner is expected to produce a creative literary adaptation using multimedia. 3 CO_Q2_2CLPW SHS Module 3  What’s New Read the parable entitled “The Story of the Pencil”, an excerpt from the novel “Like the Flowing River”, which was written by Paulo Coelho. It is a thought-provoking story about a nondescript object that gives a powerful message. Read the story aloud to yourself and find out how the author creatively portrays the parable. Before you read, familiarize yourself first with the author’s achievements. Paulo Coelho The pride of Brazil whose novel, The Alchemist, became a worldwide phenomenon; one of the best-selling books in history with 190 million copies sold and translated into 80 languages Musician and lyricist prior to pursuing a writing career as a novelist Published 30 books, majority of which are novels Recipient of international awards, among these awards are: - Spain’s Elle- Best International Writer (2008) - Denmark’s Hans Christian Anderson Award (2007) - Mexico’s Las Pergolas Prize (2006) - American Wilbur Award (2006) The Story of the Pencil By: Paulo Coelho The Grandchild was looking at his grandma writing a letter. Suddenly he asked: “Are you writing a story about us? Is it by chance a story about me?” The grandma stopped writing, smiled and said to her grandchild, “Indeed I am writing about you, however more important than the words is the pencil I am using. I hope you will be like this pencil when you grow up.” The child looked at the pencil curiously, but could not see anything special. “But... it is exactly the same as every other pencil I saw in my life.” “It is all in the way you look at things. There are five qualities in that pencil that, if you will be able to maintain, will make you a man in peace with the whole world. ‘First quality: you can make big things, but never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. This hand we call it God, and he will always have to address you towards his will.’ 4 CO_Q2_2CLPW SHS Module 3  ‘Second quality: sometimes I have to stop writing and use a sharpener. This makes the pencil suffer a little, but at the end it will be sharper. So, learn to bear a little pain because it will make you a better man.’ ‘Third Quality: the pencil always allows us to use an eraser to cancel mistakes. Understand that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing, but something fundamental to keep us on the right path.’ ‘Fourth quality: what is really important in the pencil is not the wood or the shape, but the lead that is inside. So, be always careful of what happens inside of yourself.’ ‘At the end, the fifth quality is: always leave a sign. In any case, be aware that everything you do in your life will leave trails; try to be conscious of every single action.’ Notes to the Teacher Parable and fable are being compared with one another most of the time because of their confusing characteristics. Both have many aspects in common, with more similarities than difference. FABLE PARABLE a short story designed a brief story to allegoricallly teach illustrating a moral or some religious revealing general principle, moral truths about human lesson, or general nature truths often includes talking includes real or literal animals or animated occurrences to which objects as the principal anyone can relate characters Example: The Ants Example: The Plant and the Grasshopper Sower 5 CO_Q2_2CLPW SHS Module 3  What is It Multimedia is an essential avenue to transform unique adaptations of a literary, thus making learning outputs interesting and productive. To have a creative adaptation of literary genres, the following concepts have to take into considerations: A. Multimedia and its Concepts A multimedia is an electronic application used to teach lessons or to further educate learners on a particular topic. It is a presentation of material that uses both words and pictures in a combination of text, voice, picture or video. Using interactive digital tools to tell a story is called digital storytelling and often uses a combination of multimedia venues to complete the task. The use of multimedia allows educational ideas and materials to be presented in a more artistic, inspired and engaging way. B. Uses of Multimedia and its Formats There are many uses of multimedia for a deeper understanding of a lesson. Audiobooks are ideal for second-language learners. Song files and music videos can be used to compare social norms in different eras. Multimedia can offer students a better understanding of the lesson. The multimedia formats from various media include: text and graphics for slideshows, presentations, diagrams and infographics. Audio has podcasts and recordings. Screen captures, lecture captures and animation are examples of video components of multimedia. Other multimedia components include blogs, vlogs, webinars and other interactive content. Multimedia applications include the interaction of different media types like animation, video, text and sound. It has become a part of our lives as soon as we entered the digital age. Before the modern technology, there are tools helping us appreciate some of the types of multimedia such as videos on television. There are various components of multimedia such as: 1. Videos Digital video is a primary component in multimedia, especially those that appear online and on television. The different formats of these types of multimedia include WMI, AVI, MPED and flash. Some of these formats are better than others because they load faster and can be viewed or loaded using different https://www.thejigsaw.in/blog/ho platforms and operating systems. w-to-make-youtube-videos 6 CO_Q2_2CLPW SHS Module 3  Many videos have changed formats ever since the mobile phone industry became more advanced in technology. Many of the video formats require plug-ins on browsers and specific mobile applications to load. Here is a list of multimedia formats: Format File Description MPEG. Developed by the Moving Pictures.mpg MPEG Expert Group. The first popular video format.mpeg on the web. Not supported anymore in HTML. AVI (Audio Video Interleave). Developed by Microsoft. Commonly used in video cameras AVI.avi and TV hardware. Plays well on Windows computers, but not in web browsers. WMA (Windows Media Audio). Developed by WMA.wma Microsoft. Plays well on Windows computers, but not in web browsers. Flash Video is a container file format used to swf flash deliver digital video content over the Internet (small web file} using Adobe Flash Player version 6 and newer. MP3 files are actually the sound part of MPEG files. MP3 is the most popular format for MP3.mp3 music players. Combines good compression (small files) with high quality. Supported by all browsers. MP4 is a video format, but can also be used for MP4.mp4 audio. Supported by all browsers. Source: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_media.asp 2. Animation Animation is a form of art for most people, especially those that are in the business of producing animated movies. Right now, animation has become interactive, allowing users to directly affect the outcome of animated components and events. Flash is the most common platform for animation, and using this component, the interactivity of animation is enhanced. 3. Text https://www.hitechanimation.com/blog/top-5- animated-character-who-changed-the-face-of- animation-industry/ Text has always been and will always be the most common among the types of multimedia components in different applications. Text in combination with other media components can make any application more user-friendly. By using text, interactivity is increased. Text elements are particularly important for accessibility purposes. Users of an application need to input text for the system to identify them. Text is also used to create a digital http://todo.design/photoshop-tutorial-how- to-make-a-portrait-made-only-of-text/ signature, such as in passwords. 7 CO_Q2_2CLPW SHS Module 3  4. Images Digital image files are needed to create videos and animation. A user would sooner go to a website filled with colorful photographs than one that contains only text elements. Familiar image formats include jpeg and png. These formats permit editing. Images are created by graphic designers using various software. https://www.ephotozine.com/article/microsoft-windows- xp--review-4338 5. Audio Voiceovers comprise a tremendous number of the types of multimedia components. Audio files include background music and special effects. Any audio in an application is designed to improve a user’s experience. https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photo-audio- waves-microphone-image14394820 C. Characteristics of a Multimedia Multimedia can be used in the presentations, making them more fun and interesting. A multimedia presentation has various viewing options such as projector or a media player and the like. You can also download the multimedia presentation or play it live. The technology of multimedia can also be used to make the information be conveyed more easily to the user. Multimedia technology has improved the learning experience by combining various forms of media together. https://www.educba.com/best-free-multimedia-software/ D. Benefits of Using Multimedia Digital storytelling allows students to improve their knowledge about a specific subject and increases skills such as writing, researching and reading. Using multimedia improves a learner’s overall academic performance. In particular, multimedia in the classroom is used for self-directed learning or SDL. Students manage their time and assess what needs to be included in their learning activities. This style of learning is used mostly with older students who already know how to manipulate many of the multimedia venues available to them. https://classroom.synonym.com/types-multimedia-classroom-7941275.html 8 CO_Q2_2CLPW SHS Module 3  What’s More Enrichment Activities Activity 1 Directions: Read carefully the following lines lifted from the text “The Story of the Pencil”.

C R I P T N O N D E S N ________________ quality Rich People Problems an excerpt by Kevin Kwan 1 Bettina Ortiz y Meña was not accustomed to waiting. A former Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe runner-up, of course, the exceedingly bronzed strawberry blond was these days the wife of Miami auto-parts tycoon, Herman Ortiz y Meña, and at every restaurant she chose to grace with her presence, she was always greeted with reverence and whisked to the exact table she desired. Today she wanted the corner table on the terrace at Sip Sip, her favorite lunch spot on Harbor Island. She wanted to sit on one of the comfy orange canvas director’s chairs and stare out at the gently lapping turquoise waters while eating her Kale Caesar salad, but there was a large noisy group taking up the entire terrace and they didn’t seem in much hurry to leave. 18 CO_Q2_2CLPW SHS Module 3  2 Bettina fumed as she glared at the tourists happily savoring their lunch in the sun. Look how tacky they were…the woman overly tanned, wrinkled, and saggy, none of them properly lifted or botoxed. She felt like walking up to their table and handing out her dermatologist’s business cards. And the men were even worse. All dressed in all rumpled shirts and shorts, wearing those cheap straw hats sold at the trinket shot on Dunmore Street. Why did such people have to come here? 3 The three-and-a-half-mile-long paradise with its pristine pink-sand beaches was one of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean, a haven for the very rich filled with quaint little wood houses painted in shades of sherbet, charmin boutiques, chic oceanfront mansions turned into inns, and five-star restaurants to rival St. Barths. Tourists should have to take a style exam before being allowed to set foot on the Island! Feeling that she had been patient long enough, Bettina stormed into the kitchen, the fringe on her crocheted Pucci caftan top shaking furiously as she made a beeline for the woman with a shock of pixie-cut blond hair manning the main stove. 4 “Julie, honey, what’s the dealio? I’ve waited more than fifteen minutes for my table!” Bettina sighed to the owner of the restaurant. “Sorry, Bettina, it’s been one of those days. The party of twelve on the terrace showed up first just before you did,” Julie replied as she handed off a bowl of spicy conch chili to waiting server. “But the terrace is your prime spot! Why on earth did you let those tourists take up all that space?” 5 “Well, that tourist in the red fishing cap is the Duke of Glencora. His party just boated over from Windermere – that’s his Royal Huisman you see moored off the coast. Isn’t it the most handsome sailboat you’ve ever seen?” 6 “I’m not impressed by big boats,” Bettina huffed, although secretly she was rather impressed by people with big title. From the kitchen window, she surveyed the party assembled on the terrace with new eyes. These aristo British types were such a strange breed. Sure, they had their Savile Row suits and their heirloom tiaras, but when they traveled, they looked so painfully frumpy. 7 It was only then that Bettina noticed three tan, well-built men in fitted white T-shirts and black Kevlar pants sitting at the adjacent table. The guys weren’t eating but sat watchfully, sipping glasses of seltzer water. “I assume that’s the duke’s security detail? They couldn’t be more obvious! Don’t they know that we’re all billionaires here on Briland, and this isn’t how we roll?” Bettina tutted. 8 “Actually, those bodyguards belong to the duke’s special guest. They did a whole sweep of the restaurant before the party arrived. 19 CO_Q2_2CLPW SHS Module 3  They even searched my walk-in freezer. See that Chinese fellow seated at the end of the table?” Bettina squinted through her Dior Extase sunglasses at the portly, balding, seventy-something Asian man dressed in a nondescript white short-sleeved golf shirt and gray trousers. “Oh, I didn’t even notice him! Am I supposed to know who he is?” That’s Alfred Shang, Julie said in a hushed tone. 9 Bettina giggled. “He looks like their chauffeur. Doesn’t he look like that guy that used to drive Jane Wyman around in Falcon Crest?” Julie, who was trying to focus on searing a cut of tuna to perfection, shook her head a tight-lipped smile. “From what I hear, that chauffeur is the most powerful man in Asia.” “What’s his name again?” To check your comprehension, answer the following questions on a separate sheet of paper. 1. Who are the characters in the story? 2. Can you tell the significant places reflected in the story? 3. What is the theme of the story? What is It A. The Basic Elements of a Short Story 1. Character | The character element is the person or people in a story. Sometimes the characters are not human, some may be animals or spirits. Incidentally, even when non-human characters are used, they tend to have human characteristics. Characters are usually of two types: the protagonist and the antagonist. The protagonist is the main character. He or she is in conflict with another character, who is known as the antagonist. An example of a protagonist and an antagonist are Superman, the protagonist, and Lex Luthor, the antagonist. 2. Setting | The first important element of a short story is the setting. The setting refers to the time and place that the event(s) in the story take place. 3. Plot | The plot refers to the flow of events in the story. Essentially, the plot refers to what is happening in the story. 20 CO_Q2_2CLPW SHS Module 3  4. Conflict | The conflict or complication refers to the tension, the fight or the struggle between the various characters or forces in the story. This actually gives fuel to the story and influences its flow (i.e. its plot). Without the conflict, then you have no story. 5. Climax | The climax is the most exciting part of a story. It is when the conflict is about to or is getting resolved. 6. Theme | This element refers to the topic that the writer writes or comments on in his or her writing. The theme is the motif of the story, that is, it permeates the whole story and recurs throughout the narrative. An example of a theme is the topic of "bravery" in Harry Potter. https://www.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_6_story_elements B.
