What I Need to Know Writing, like speaking, is a form of expressing and communicating one’s thoughts and ideas. When you speak clearly, other people can understand what you are saying. Likewise, when you write, you have to familiarize yourself with the properties of a well-written text: organization, coherence and cohesion, language use, and mechanics. These will serve as your “compass” in weaving your train of thoughts and connecting one idea to another. This module will help you identify and utilize your writing prowess through your awareness and application of the properties of a written text. Here, you can also better appreciate good grammar as fundamental to written communication. More so, using it on a personal basis can help you express ideas precisely and gain other people’s respect in whatever you have to say. The module is divided into four lessons, namely:  Lesson 1 – Organization  Lesson 2 – Coherence and Cohesion  Lesson 3 – Language Use  Lesson 4 – Mechanics After going through this module, you are expected to: 1. determine the beginning, middle, and end of the story read; 2. write the episodes of your life from childhood to young adulthood using a graphic organizer; 3. organize ideas using proper transitional devices; 4. construct a coherent and cohesive paragraph; 5. determine the essence of proper language use in written texts; 6. evaluate a written text based on the appropriateness of language use; 7. utilize writing prowess through practice skills in grammar; and 8. use proper mechanics in writing such as spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and paragraph development. 1 CO_Q3_Reading and Writing Skills SHS Module 2 What I Know Read carefully each item before choosing the letter of the best answer.
