ABSTRACT

For a decade writing had become common in tertiary and even in secondary schools. It had become an important tool in engaging students in reflective thinking, demonstrating understanding and communicating learning. It had also been an aide in improving students’ achievement.

Specifically, it aimed to answer the following questions: (1) What writing activities were commonly given by teachers to enhance awareness and understanding of Filipino values among students?, and (2) How effective were the writing tasks in strengthening the awareness and understanding of Filipino values among students?

    During the course of students’ educational careers we come across many assignments that require us to write an essay on a specific topic in which we use different writing methods and steps to develop a completed paper. To help students with their writings, Richard Marius, a very educated and well known writer has written an article titled Writing Drafts in which he describes his own writing techniques that he uses to write an essay. In this essay I will compare and contrast the writing techniques of Richard Marius and the writing methods I use when I write an essay. Although Marius differs than I do in the way he prints out his drafts, we are similar…

    Since the early years of my educational background, writing presented itself to me as more of a chore than it did a creative hobby. Throughout the years, many teachers fell short in their attempts to inspire me to truly enjoy writing. These attempts, more of than not, included copious ammounts of academic writing, which perpetually solidified my view that the only way writing could be presented was in the form of a laborious chore. This was, of course,…

    In “The Composition Process: Review of the Literature”, Janet Emig uses research evidence to support her perspective on the writing process as unable to be researched scientifically. Using interviews and other data gathered from professional writers, Emig highlights the difficulty of narrowing writing processes down to the one superior method that students should learn in composition class. She points out specific errors in the data and accuses them of being “unsystematic”, self-contradicting, and inadequate in explaining “how students of school age should write” (Emig 228). Furthermore, she argues that common composition textbooks specifically objectify students and remove inspiration, creativity, and personal experience from writing (Emig…

Lamott explains what good and dedicated writing is, she persuades those who want to be more than a guy working in a small office and doing other people’s work.…

    Teachers need to recognize the creativity within students and embrace it. If students enjoy SLAM poetry, then let them write in the form of poetry. If students have a passion for video games, then let them write about video games. If students are social butterflies, then let them write letters to their friends for their writing assignments. Teachers just need to let students write about what is important to them. In order for students to become successful at writing, teachers need to let students write about what excites…

    Philippine Nationalism

    • 267 Words
    • 2 Pages

    One of the factors that contributed to the difficulty of solving national issues in the Philippines (today) is the absence of nationalism and patriotism in the hearts and minds of the Filipino youth. According to Benedict Andersen in a thesis presented by April Herrera and Jayvee Robias (2010), nationalism is on the verge of crossing its boundaries and it is not only confined to the nation state alone. Unfortunately, the Filipinos especially the youth today do not know the significance of nationalism and patriotism to the country. The best way for the Filipino youth to trigger their nationalistic consciousness is through educating them by imparting Philippines’ heritage to all aspects of learning. A speech by Leticia Constantino in Education Forum Symposium (1985) promotes that educating the Filipino youth about the history of the Philippines will serve as a realization for the youth to understand the means of being true Filipinos – Filipinos who will serve for the Philippines and for the countrymen. Once the Filipino youth became aware about the events that are continuously happening in the Philippines, the youth will start to get themselves active and involve in making advocacies and projects that can create a change for the betterment of the country.…
