What I Know

Below is a short quiz for you to answer.

Pre-Assessment Activity

Read and understand the text below about “Waknatoy”, a


famous dish in Marikina City.

“WAKNATOY”
(Marikina’s Version of Menudo)

Waknatoy, also called Marikina menudo, is a Filipino pork stew with


pickles. It is a variant of the Filipino menudo stew originating from
Marikina City. It is made with cubed pork and pork liver with sausages
(typically Chorizo de Bilbao), red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic,
onions, and distinctively, pickle relish, cooked in a tomato-based sauce
with salt, pepper, fish sauce, and bay leaves. Waknatoy does not
traditionally include other vegetables like potatoes and carrots, like
menudo, but they can be included.

According to the history of Waknatoy’s origin or beginning here in


Marikina, it was said that the Marikeños would almost every day serve the
early Chinese settlers this kind of menudo dish. And since they’re already
tired eating it, they would just simply try hard to say: “Waknatoy,
waknatoy!” or in our Filipino language it is “Wag na to, wag na to!”. And
that is how our Marikina version of menudo came to be called “Waknatoy”.

And up until this day, Marikeños still cook this dish. This is how it
is cooked:

UTENSILS:
pan
knife
chopping board
bowl
tablespoon/ teaspoon

COOKING TIME: 45 minutes

PROCEDURE:

1. Marinate pork in pickle juice, 2-3 tbsp light soy sauce, about 1 tbsp

4. Add the liver and let it cook for a minute or two.
5. Add sausage, tomato sauce, tomato ketchup, tomato paste and
pickles. Toss and turn until sauce are well combined. Continue to
simmer until sauce is thickened. It should look oily and sticking in
the wok as you toss all the ingredients. (nagmamantika at halos
naninikit na sa kawali ang itsura.)
6. Add red bell pepper, bay leaf and the potatoes. Add little amount of
water, season with patis to taste. Continue to cook until it becomes
very saucy.

dishes “Waknatoy”, try answering the questions about it to check
your understanding of the text that you have read.

1. According to the history of Waknatoy’s, the Marikenos would


almost every day serve the early Chinese settlers this kind of
menudo dish. Since they’re already tired of eating it, they
would just simply try hard to say: ‘waknatoy, waknatoy!” or
in our Filipino language it is “Wag na to, wag na to!” That is
how our Marikina version of menudo came to be called

What’s In

In our previous lesson we learned that a group of sentences


makes a paragraph. A paragraph expresses a unified or thought.

As a review of that lesson, answer this Activity.


Put a check (√ ) if is a paragraph and cross ( X ) if not.

______ 1. Many people are scared to go out of their house. They


don’t want to get infected outside then come home to their family.
The risk of getting the virus is so high when you are in crowded
places like public transportation. Thus, Work from Home (WFH)
was initiated by some companies.

______ 2. I bought a bottle of alcohol to keep my hands clean and


sanitized. I transferred it in a spray bottle. I have it inside my bag
everywhere I go. Always, prevention is better than cure.

______ 3. If you plan to go outside, wear mask and face shield.


Malls are open from 10AM to 7PM only. She was late for work
because she had to walk 3 miles from home to their office. Life is
never easy.

A paragraph may have different features and structures. It


can be written based on the purpose of the author. In today’s
lesson, you will learn about the different text types depending on
their structure, purpose, and language features.

Good day dear Parents and Guardians!!!


Below is a list of officially enrolled pupils in Four-Marikit. If you see your
child’s name in the list, please send a friend request to my official Facebook
account so I can add you. We will create a Group Chat where we can
communicate and discuss important topics regarding the coming school
year. It is necessary that we have constant communication because we
are in a very volatile situation where changes happen almost everyday. I
am looking forward to working with you for the good of our children. God

7. What type of text is this? Why did you say so?


__________________________________________________

This type of text is called informational text. It gives


information such as, names of pupils enrolled; name, Facebook
account and contact number of the teacher; and Facebook page of
the school. It also guides the parents on what to do and the
importance of having constant communication between parents
and teachers.

Below is another text for you to analyze.

It was Sunday morning. Mario and Maria helped their parents at


home. Maria cleaned their whole house. Mario washed all the dishes.
Then, together they planted new seeds and watered the existing plants.
Their parents were so glad to see their children helping them.

List down all the things which Mario and Maria did to help their

What Is It

The short texts/paragraphs which you have read are


examples of different text types. They differ in terms of their
structure, purpose, and language features.

As you have read earlier, there are different text types. Here
are three of them for you to understand and learn.

1. Texts that gives information about a topic are called


informational texts.

Examples of this are: news articles, travelogues, feature


article, content area materials like Mathematics, Science,
etc.

2. While some texts tell the procedure, directions, or steps on


how to do something. These are called procedural texts.

Examples are: recipe, steps in solving word problems,


dance steps

3. Texts that show a list are called texts that enumerate.

City of Good Character


DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE 9
Examples are: list of ingredients, list of materials needed,
list of names or any kind of texts that show a list of
something

In the two texts that you have read in What’s New you’ll see
that Text A gives information about what parents will do to
communicate with their pupils’ class adviser. It also mentioned
an information about the teachers name and contact data. It is
therefore an example of informational text. While on the other
hand, if you will try to look back to TEXT B and recall your answer,
the things mentioned there were the activities which the siblings
Mario and Maria did to help their parents. You were even asked to
list down the four things which they did. Now it gives you a clue
that TEXT B is an example of a text that enumerates, because it
lists down the activities/thing that Mario and Maria did.

What’s More

Follow the instructions in each activity.

Activity 1

Answer the questions below about the different text types.

1. What is the purpose of informative text?


a. to describe how a scene might look in a novel

Cooking in the Kitchen

When you’re cooking in the kitchen,


You’re learning all the while —
To pour and measure, mix and stir
And sift flour into a pile.
Have a hot pad handy
And a grown-up standing by—
So you won’t hurt yourself

When using the stove or baking a pie,


wash your hands before you start.
Then gather up the gear
Like pots and pans
and measuring cups that you need.

Besides the fun and learning,


There’s always cleaning up to do.
And even though it’s quite a chore,
It’s part of cooking, too.
Go over the recipe, step-by-step,
So you’ll know just what to do.
By carefully following the directions, It won’t be hard
for you.

But after all the work is done, It will soon be time for
dinner. And when someone asks for seconds, You’ll
know you’ve cooked a winner!

The Philippine Eagle is the National bird of our country. It


is a giant bird of prey that can only be seen in 4 islands in
the Philippines- Luzon, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao. It is
considered to be one of the largest and most powerful among
forest raptors.
Though the Philippine Eagle may spend time along forest
edges, and has even been observed in areas where the forest has
been logged, this species is a true forest raptor and relies on
pristine primary forest in which to hunt, build its nest and raise
its young. It can be found in habitat as low as sea level to around
5,900 feet (1,800 m). However, much of this species' lowland
habitat is being destroyed - mainly due to logging and conversion
of forest land into agricultural fields. This is why they are already
endangered and only a few of them are left.

Common questions

Powered by AI

'Text that enumerate' lists items or elements, often without implying a sequence, such as the ingredients and utensils needed for Waknatoy: 'cubed pork, pork liver, Chorizo de Bilbao, etc.' . In contrast, 'procedural text' provides a structured format for performing tasks, exemplified by the step-by-step cooking instructions for Waknatoy: marinating pork, sautéing ingredients, and simmering stew. These text types serve different communicative purposes—enumeration for listing and procedural for instructing.

Teaching various text types like narrative, informational, and procedural is crucial for fostering comprehensive reading and writing skills. It enables learners to recognize different structures, purposes, and language features, equipping them to effectively comprehend and produce diverse forms of text. This diverse literacy promotes critical thinking and allows students to apply appropriate reading strategies across contexts.

The text describing the cooking process of 'Waknatoy' is a procedural text. This can be identified by its step-by-step format that outlines the specific sequence of actions needed to achieve a result—in this case, preparing the dish. The language is instructional and imperative, a hallmark of procedural texts.

Waknatoy, known as Marikina menudo, is distinguished from traditional Filipino menudo by its inclusion of pickle relish and a lack of certain vegetables like potatoes and carrots unless added optionally. It uses cubed pork and pork liver with Chorizo de Bilbao, red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and is cooked in a tomato-based sauce seasoned with salt, pepper, fish sauce, and bay leaves, making it unique to Marikina City's culinary heritage.

The phrase 'City of Good Character' suggests a strong emphasis on discipline, taste, and excellence, reflecting Marikina City's cultural and educational values. It implies a commitment to fostering moral and academic standards among its citizens and students, promoting a community identity centered on positive character and societal contributions. The educational emphasis on such values aims to prepare learners not only academically but also as morally sound community members.

Informational text is characterized by the presentation of factual details structured to inform or educate the reader. It uses clear, direct language to convey information effectively.
