Quarter 2, Week 3 – Factors Influencing a Selection

This week we discussed about the Factors Influencing a Selection. This topic helps us explain how a selection may be influenced by culture, history, environment, and other factors. The factors given that influence a selection are Text and Culture, Text and History, Text and enviroment. This week we also given a spelling bee to help us notice and understand words that are sometimes used, we learned about the words; Chyme, foulard, rhythm, repertoire, and etc. We also have our Anglo-American Icon in focus Walter Witman, is an American poet, essayist and journalist, he is also a humanist that was part of transition between transcendentalism and realism. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. His work was controversial in its time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sensuality.
We also have a Figure of Speech in focus the Metaphor, is a figure of speech in which a word or phase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable; it also compares two different objects without using "like" or "as". We also had a read and comprehend activity and some article analysis. We generalized and localized our topic. The activities help us to understand more the factors that affects or influence our selections. And of our activity is doing a concept map about the selection of "Family cook". At the bottom of this blog we will see the concept map I did.
