3. Yesterday, our Principal Madam Dorothy L. Suazo appeared before the Barangay
Officials’ regular session to make necessary arrangements in preparation for the
conduct of Regional Surveillance on the Sustainability of School-Based
Management (Advanced Level) at BNHS. Our principal took pride in informing the
barangay that Buenavista NHS is the only school in the barangay who had been
declared as SBM (Advanced Level) implementer. The principal also communicated
5 CO_Q4_English 8_Module 6
the request to sponsor the utilization of internet cafes for the conduct of ORPT
among Grade 7 Learners. The session ended with a manifestation of 100% support
from the Barangay Officials on the conduct of the aforesaid event on April 23.
4. Buenavista National High School has gone to its 1st Surveillance after being
recognized as the only Advanced (Level 3) Practitioner in School-Based
Management (SBM) by DepEd Caraga- Tandag City Division in 2019. Rev. Fr.
Moncelito G. Gamosa, IFI parish priest and Hon. Julieta L. Galupo, BLGU
Education Committee Chairperson, together with the other stakeholders engaged
themselves during the document analysis, observation and discussion processes
(DOD) . The DOD processes were headed by the SGOD Chief Dr. Gregorio C.
Labrado and the Division SBM Coordinator Dr. Maria Teresa M. Ajos.Dr. Labrado
and Dr. Ajos conducted DOD on Principle 1 (Leadership & Governance) and
Principle 3 (Accountability & Continuous Improvement) while Division Planning
Officer Mr. Ronald Arnego and Education Program Supervisor, Mr Benny Abala
worked validated Principle 4 (Management of Resources) and Principle 2
(Curriculum & Instruction), respectively.
7. “The pandemic continues to weigh us down but we still have something going on
in our Region that will make us excited for our future. This pandemic provided us
the right time and ample opportunities for doing action researches. We must take
a closer look at these needs to find ways to satisfy our clients. If ever there is the
best time to conduct research, this is the time,” said Regional Director Dr. Evelyn
R. Fetalvero in her message. She also challenged everyone in the department to
“embrace research with passion.” (DepEd Caraga Region Facebook Page)
8. Libertad National High School Dance Company performed a special pre-recorded
dance presentation during the intermission. The dancers harmoniously moved
their feet, hands, and body to interplay with the meaning of the dance. The set
also complemented the story of the dance with a jeepney in a highway, pertaining
to a journey. The show can still be viewed on the DepEd Caraga Region and DepEd
Philippines Facebook pages. (DepEd Caraga Region Facebook Page)
9. Time is gold. True, you can buy Gold at shopping malls, jewelry stores, and
pawnshops. But can you buy time? NO. Time is even more valuable than the most
expensive gold. You cannot turn back time, even if you had zillions. If you lost
gold, you could always purchase a replacement. But if you lost time, could you
6 CO_Q4_English 8_Module 6
seek for another time? NO. That is why time is very precious. Every tick-tock is
worth the grandest gold karat man has ever bought. (Algien A. Parker)
10. As much as possible, do not just sit there the whole day under the tree waiting
for the mango fruit to fall down into your mouth. You are wasting so much time.
Instead of being like Juan, think something productive that you can do even in
little ways such as cleaning the house, helping your younger siblings in their
assignments, and among others. You are never too sure. So wake up, get up and
work. Remember that Grasshopper, who just played the whole summer, asked
help from little Ant who worked his back to store food for winter. (Algien A. Parker)
11. Mahayag beach is filled with people on weekends. They have the chance to relax
and unwind in this beautiful white beach. You can feel you are in Boracay though
you are just in Tandag. The white sand, the crystal-clear water, the fresh air, and
the wonderful people, all shape your experience in this refreshing beach. Children
play, mothers bond, and fathers rest.
12. Here comes another busy day. People sit on their tables. They open their laptops.
Some work with music while others listen to news simultaneously. Meetings here
and there, attending either virtually or face-to-face. People ask reports from each
other, walking fast and furious. They are as busy as the bees.
13. A hundred years ago there lived a king. He had some beautiful daughters, but
the youngest daughter was the most beautiful. Close by the king’s castle, there
was a great dark forest. And under an old lime tree in the forest, there was a well.
When the day was warm, the king’s youngest daughter usually went out into the
forest. When she was bored, she took her golden ball and played with it.
(https://knowitinfo.com/what-is-narrative-text-and-example/)
14. A beggar found a leather purse that someone had dropped in a market place.
Opening it, he discovered that it contained 100 pieces of gold. Then he heard a
merchant shouted, "A reward! A reward to the one who find my leather purse!"
Being an honest man, the beggar came forward and handed the purse to the
merchant saying, "Here is your purse. Will you keep your word to give a reward
now?" "Reward?" scoffed the merchant greedily counting the amount of gold. "The
purse I dropped had 200 pieces of gold in it. Youve already stolen more than the
reward I’ll give to you.! Go away or I’ll tell you to the police." (The Purse of Gold)
15. There was a young boy named Fred. He was such a happy boy because he loved
his mom and dad. One day, his mom and dad told him they would take him
fishing. He was so excited. They fished all day and had the best time!

What’s New
It is time for you to know the lesson through the following activities!
Activity 1
Get ready for a discussion with the following questions:
1. Have you given a speech in front of a class before? How did you
prepare for your speech? Enumerate the steps on how you prepared
for it.
.
What were your preparations before you delivered your speech in front of
your classmates? List them down below.
8 CO_Q4_English 8_Module 6
2. What do you think are the qualities of a good speaker? Can you give at least
three?
What is It
Let us have a brief discussion of the lesson. The following points will help you
discover and understand new concepts and skills in the delivery of a self-composed
speech.
What is speech?
You may refer to all social interactions in which language plays a significant
role as speech events. The interlocutors (the people talking to each other) usually
face each other in a discussion and do not speak at the same time. Most people
initiate their conversations and greet each other, then continue to talk in a turn-
taking way.
Some of the speech events you may be engaged with is when you deliver your
speech during the room-to-room campaign for an SSG election, turn-over speech
during the Juniors-Seniors Promenade, and welcome address or speech of gratitude
during a graduation ceremony. (Hutchinson et al., 2020)
9 CO_Q4_English 8_Module 6
What are the characteristics of a good speech?
A good speech has qualities which can convey a message effectively through
words of mouth or spoken words. Expression should be transparent and
unambiguous so that it is easy for the public to understand. It should be delivered
in an unbiased and unemotional way so that it doesn't drive the audience away from
the main theme. A good speech is one that ensures the participation of the audience
with the speaker and ensures the audience will ensure their attention through
effective listening, expressing their solidarity with the speech and so on. (Based on
“Delivering a Speech Lesson Plan” from study.com)
Research indicates that the speeches make people remember so little. People
can hear and not understand the voice. Write two simple phrases instead of one long,
complicated sentence. Interpret your speech aloud as you write it down. Your
question should be a representation of who you are and what you care about. Do
analysis. If you have the evidence to back him up, your new policy plan will sound
very good.
10 CO_Q4_English 8_Module 6
The Structure of Your Speech
(https://www.perthtoastmasters.org/experiences-speech-ideas-example-speech
-creative-process-conception-execution/)
Introduction
Because the introduction serves as both a sales pitch and a useful outline, it should
strike a good balance between hype and content. Get the audience's attention,
introduce the subject, clarify its importance to the audience, state a thesis or intent,
and outline the key points which are all essential. You can have a road map that
outlines your key points by the end of the introduction. (Based on “Boundless
Communications” from courses.lumenlearning.com)
Body
The body of a speech is the central section of the speech in which the main ideas and
key concepts of the speech are discussed. Except for the introduction and
conclusion, the body is everything. The main points of a speech make up the body of
the speech. This is significant because it aids the audience's comprehension of your
speech. (Jackson, n.d.)
Conclusion
Your speech's conclusion summarizes your main points and purpose while leaving a
lasting impression on your audience. The conclusion's purpose is to summarize your
main points and prepare the audience for the end of your speech. You'll want to
recapture the essence of your speech, including your main points and the reason
you spoke. It's especially important to remember that the end of your speech isn't
the time to introduce new points or new supporting evidence; doing so will only
confuse the audience. Consider your conclusion to be like tying a bow or a ribbon:
it's the finishing touch that makes your project stand out. (Based on “Boundless
Communications” from courses.lumenlearning.com)

Congratulations! You have made it this far. Aren’t you proud of yourself? You
have performed varied activities which added more to your knowledge. You are now
in the final round. Good luck!
1. Practice Inflection
Gather some children's books (aimed at 6-10 years of age) and read them
aloud in class or at home. Using inflection to show the punctuation, the force and
the characters. Don’t be scared! Remember this is how most kids learn to read and
speak.
2. Pronunciation
Put several forms and backgrounds into many books, or publications. Browse
through the email and find odd words. Look at them in a dictionary online or offline
and see how they are pronounced. It could turn into a ‘stump the speaker’ game of
guessing how every word is pronounced. This can also be used to point out certain
common words which are frequently mispronounced.
3. Projection
Think of an interesting topic. Talk to yourself in a mirror. Don't scream. Keep
it going for a few minutes (it's going to be loud), then ask someone in your home
about his/her observations of what you are doing.

answers on a separate sheet of paper.
2. Your text cites five values shared by most Filipino citizens. Which is NOT one
of them?
A. good citizenship
B. materialism
C. political views
D. work ethics

7. Which of these could be used in researching a speech?
A. Database
B. Periodicals
C. Website
D. All of these could be used.
20 CO_Q4_English 8_Module 6
13. Which of the following is an effective statement of a purpose?
A. After my discourse, the crowd will have the option to list four reasons
why youngsters join packs.
B. My design is to educate you about wrongdoing and to convince you to
avoid packs.
C. The design is to educate the crowd about wrongdoing.
D. The reason for my discourse is to educate.
Additional Activities
The true test for this lesson is in the actual presentation of the speech. Like voice
and diction, understanding what makes a speech effective without practice is
insufficient. It is useless to learn about the efficient delivery of a self-composed
speech unless you put it into practice for it reinforces the knowledge. Comprehending
the rules for driving on the road is dangerous if the rules are not obeyed in practice.
The same is true for this chapter.
Constant correct practice of speaking will make you a more effective speaker!

What you do in this activity is you stand up before people (you can do it home
by yourself as well) and you take one of your friends and introduce them to them.
Instead of presenting them in the usual way, though, you are making them up a
fictional story.
So, you say, hi this is Samantha, and she moonlights as a guitarist in the
church. And you talk about her life, whatever it may be.
2. Impromptu Game
Essentially, you just get up in front of people and someone gives you
something impromptu in which to ride.
It could be a topic; it could be a sentence, or it could be just a single word or
something like that. But we run on just one subject.
For example: You need to talk about the Corona Virus Disease of 2019, or you
need to talk about what makes you a great learner, or you need to talk about social
distancing or constant proper handwashing. So that’s the impromptu game.
