The module provides various activities that will help you learn by observing
language of research, campaigns, and advocacies.
Read the given article and answer the questions that follow by choosing the letter of
the correct answer.
“Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan,” is an immortalized line of national hero Dr.
Jose Rizal. However, cliché, the A la juventud Filipina poem line still evokes aspirations to
nurture and protect today’s youth.
But what if the youth themselves have lost their hope because they fall prey to both
institutional and social abuse and violence?
On November 20, 1989, world leaders made a stand to ensure that children around
the globe be allowed to grow, learn, play, develop, and flourish with dignity. The United
Nations General Assembly made a commitment to protect the rights of the next generation,
adopting the monumental Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on that glorious day.
Thirty years later, the CRC – the international human rights treaty most widely ratified by 196
countries, including the Philippines affirms their duty to protect children’s rights.
Rights in Education
The Convention clearly outlined the rights of a child the countries must respect, protect,
and fulfill. It has inscribed and defined the rights a child, or any person under the age of 18,
which cannot be taken away.
Right to education is among these well-defined rights. In the rights-based approach,
the states have the obligation to ensure that access to quality education, as well as respect
in the learning environment, are being enjoyed by children.
By access, educational institutions must be physically and economically accessible
throughout the stages of childhood while being free of social and cultural barriers. Quality
education, meanwhile, pertains to the broad, relevant, and inclusive curriculum learners must
acquire inside a child-friendly, safe, and healthy setting.
3
Lastly, children must be respected, as well as their identity, views, and physical and
personal integrity in all learning environment. The child’s rights in the context of education are
categorized into four: (1) survival; (2) development; (3) protection; and (4) participation.
In essence, the aim of education is the holistic development of the full potential of the
child.

The changes in our situation towards the new normal have affected many. One of
which is our educational system. Read the given essay and identify statements used by the
writer to convince readers to agree with a point of view.
For further understanding of the text, be guided by the processing questions that
follow.
In this day and age, we somehow are forced to exist in a new place. The Earth we are
living in seems like another dimension evolved into a new planet. The concept of what we
call “normal”, all of a sudden vanished and the usual routines we do halted. This crushed our
dreams. For the sake of health and safety, something new has to be dealt with the society.
Living for the better this time of pandemic taught us so much from personal hygiene to valuing
life, to accepting change. We have to embrace change. We have to nurture the long and
painstaking effect of this change.
For the past 8 months of being in quarantine and facing the unseen enemy, various
changes manifested in almost all aspects of our lives and society. New normal—a state of
living that differs from what was used to be prior the pandemic. Unfortunately, the world of
the teaching-learning process was not exempted from that. Education has to adapt to this new
way of living. No noisy students running around the campus, no laughters and tears of friends
along hallways. No morning stories of being in a physical classroom exhausting sweat and
blood to conquer every student-winning moment.
Education must continue. Though many have opposed the idea of continuing the
classes despite the crisis we are experiencing due to health risks it imposes, learning is still
viewed by many as must be pursued despite the struggles we are experiencing today. As
Senator Sonny Angara quoted, “Education
is the key for generations of Filipinos to
become full-fledged, productive members
of society.” Thus, education will still be a
silver lining everyone has been staring from
a gloomy cloud.
It must be strategized. No one will
be left behind— this has been the
educational battle cry of Department of
Education (DepEd) and Commission on
Higher Education (CHED) in administering
this school year 2020-2021 to ensure that
learning will still be fastened in the minds of
every student as we face the challenge of
COVID-19 pandemic. Absurd as viewed
and opposed by many, as most people
think this will only worsen the situation.
However, looking at the other side of the
7
coin, the continuing of education will actually radiate hope; hope that will be our key to
advance towards development for the 21st century learners, more specifically to the
21,724,454 learners who have enrolled this school year. In connection, according to Vegas
and Winthrop (2020), in this time of uncertainties, education innovation is a leapfrog moment
to fill the gap of inequality in education. Moreover,
it is learning during this time that we can help young
people through the innovative learning styles not
only to remember and understand, but also to
analyze and create. Furthermore, this brought
recognition to new ways of learning, such as the
use of blended learning. Similarly, the smart use of
technology and data among learners had been
substantial for adaptation in the modernity. It is the
changes in their mode of learning in which their
scope of competencies and skills—from literacy to
creative problem solving to collaboration—will
flourish even better.
As to what Hipolito (2020) has stated, majority of the students at this age where
boundless admittance to computerized advances consistently remain associated to gain
knowledge and technical skills. Simultaneously, today’s medium of learning engages learners
to production skills and knowledge-based industries. This actually is more the project-based
learning and field experiences which will be of big importance in the near future. In connection
to that, the sense of socialization is also not lost. The new normal in education has also
established students’ collaboration with their classmates and teachers using the media, they
are more communicative with using various devices that are available. Lastly, this upholds
inter-connection among parents and learners as the seamless shift of learning with parent-
facilitators are encouraged.
Alongside the opening of classes amidst the worldwide crisis is the emergence of
distance and flexible learning which are both crucial in fostering of determination, and
resilience of the learners. The distance learning approach implemented by Department of
Education (DepEd) is surely a challenge; nonetheless, the support and cooperation of the
community can be a binding force that will pave way to better sustainability in the future. This
sudden shift inarguably caused confusion and skepticism to most people, especially to
learners, educators, and parents as they are used to traditional mode of learning inside a four-
cornered classroom. Despite of these, the fact still remains that delving deep to the world of
technologies and internet; this is now our chance to take on virtual communication and online
education platforms as these are seen to be sustainable in the near future in conformity. What
is more as Atty. Alberto Muyot, Chief Executive Officer of Save the Children Philippines have
expounded, “The rights of children to education can still be fulfilled even if schools are closed.
Exploring available learning modalities may not be easy at this point – but is possible.
Taking everything into an account, learning is a ceaseless process. Deprivation of
education in the midst of this pandemic will lead to unpleasant effects not only to the learners,
but also to every sector of society that relates to it. 21 st century learners have to be resilient,
adaptable, and resourceful in this time as digital mediums and various platforms are already
provided for them to use. They must continuously forge themselves as life-long and effective
learners that will bring positive changes to the world. We have already been in the era of
traditional as an old school, now, virtual is in. Yet as we sail to the ocean of new normal, let
8
us not forget our real purpose as a learner and our commitment to our country—to become
the change and silver lining everyone has staring from a gloomy day.
Processing Questions:
9
Example: Let us work together in nurturing the youth in our community for a better
future. Decide for the younger generation.
2. Make a change – It is the use of language to make people realize make something
out of the usual.
Example: Look at the effects of illiteracy among people, we certainly do not want
the future of the Filipinos to suffer from ignorance.
3. Prove something wrong – It refers to how you prove your stand by contradicting
the opposition.
Example: Education in the new normal may be different, but it will surely develop
a better generation who is willing to adapt and to adjust to specific circumstances.
4. Create interest – It is using persuasion to spark interest and attention to the
writer’s point.
Example: The distance learning has promoted digital awareness among the young
and young and old.
5. Get people to agree with your point – It is when a writer uses language to
persuade and convince people to agree with his point.
Example: We are optimistic that the learners will realize that this new normal in
distance learning will put their generation in history.
C. Techniques in Persuasion
With the many purposes of persuasion, it may be identified that persuasion can be an
excellent tool in creating a stand in writing. Accordingly, writers adopt several persuasive
techniques in writing.
1. Flattery – It is a persuasion technique developed by complimenting your audience.
Example: The determination of learners to pursue education despite the challenges
surpasses many expectations.
2. Opinion – To state one’s opinion or stand is a persuasive technique of putting a
personal viewpoint often given as a fact.
Example: In my perspective, quality education is a right of every child.
3. Emotive language – The writer’s vocabulary plays an important part in
persuasion. Words in forms of descriptions are used to relate a particular emotion
for the audience/reader to feel. This may also include words that appeal to the
senses or imagery. In this technique the words create interest and excitement in
order to persuade the audience.
Example: Though classes are done virtually, every child awaits learning something
new with much joy and excitement.
4. Exaggeration – This technique includes use of exaggerated language for effect
and appeal.
Example: Many people with big hearts willingly shared their blessings for the
children.
5. Groups of three – It is believed that our minds process information in patterns.
With these descriptions, statements, example etc. that come in threes are said to
be more persuasive. This is how the use of three points or reasons to prove your
argument becomes a persuasive technique.
Example: Most children are willing to defy the odds, to take the challenge, and
to surpass their limitations to continue learning.
10
6. Personal pronouns – It is the use of personal pronouns such as “I”, “we”, and
“you” to make the connection to your audience. This manifests person’s
involvement as opinions or point of views are stated. This is also referred to as the
inclusive language.
Example: I am conviced that you, the young ones, are the asset of this nation. We
rely on your decisions.
7. Repetition- Repeating words to emphasize a point is one kind of persuasive
technique. It reinforces the ideas as well as produces recall among the audience.
Example: As what Edward Murrow had said, “To be persuasive, we must be
believable; to be believable, we must be credible; to be credible, we must be
truthful.”
8. Rhetorical questions – A rhetorical question is a question which is asked not for
answers but for the effect it will create to the audience. It is used to give emphasis
and to make the audience think about the topic.
Examples: How many years do we have to wait for this to end?
Who else will accept these challenges for the sake of learning?
9. Facts and statistics - Factual data in forms of statistics, research findings, and
credible sources are used in a persuasion shows a strong support to one’s belief
or opinion.
Example: On November 20, 1989, world leaders made a stand to ensure that
children around the globe be allowed to grow, learn, play, develop, and flourish
with dignity.
