Reading and Writing

Writing is not a skill that students learn separate from other processes. It combines
many complex activities, including categorizing, building key terms and concepts
for a subject, measuring one's reaction to a subject, making new connections,
abstracting, figuring out significance, and developing arguments—to name a few.
Our highest cognitive functions are developed and supported through active and
interconnected use of language—speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

In practice, this means that reading (and speaking and listening) can be used as a
springboard for writing projects, and writing can be used as a way to understand
reading. A variety of informal, often ungraded, writing activities may be used, for
instance, to help students understand that critical reading can be practiced through
writing about reading and that writing projects can be strengthened through
careful, critical reading. Classroom practices can be designed so that students use
writing to read and reading to write. Writing courses consistently provide such
integrated activities for students; however, in First Year Seminars and content-area
courses, reading and writing can also be practiced together and sequenced
effectively to support the learning experience.
 Techniques in Organizing Information
Venn diagram

 A diagram representing mathematical or logical sets pictorially as circles or closed curves within
an enclosing rectangle (the universal set), common elements of the sets being represented by
the areas of overlap among the circles.

Pie Chart

 A type of graph in which a circle is divided into sectors that each represent a proportion
of the whole
 Patterns of Development

Development by Cause and Effect

-A method that uses reasons to explain why things happen and shows the results of such event.

Development by Problem Solution

-It presents information as a problem or issue followed by a possible solution that can be done to
solve the problem

Development by Example

-This method present examples to support and make clear the topic sentence

When I was a kid, getting outside the house was my thing. Playing with different children and
fighting with my enemy because of simple things. Playing at the house of our neighbours as I
played with rocks and dirt, getting dirty all the time. My mother always complains about it but of
course as a hard headed girl, I always disobeyed. And the result is the frustration of my mother.

As I grew older, bigger problem comes in my way. Not just the dirt on my blouse nor the
abrasion on my knees. When I was six, my father died. His disappearance had been painful to me
because I was used by his presence. Years passed by, I coped up with that problem and think
about the possible solution that may solve it. Then I realized, “Acceptance” is the only solution
of the said difficulty.

Now what are the possible solutions that will solve the problem? Like for example, the
happiness that I chose. I chose to be happy because that is what I deserve. Another example is
moving on. Moving on is about accepting what happened and continue your life. Because no one
will help you other than yourself. If you keep on being sad about it then you will be stuck on the
hell hole where sadness is present. The last example is to continue loving. Because love leads to
a real happiness. A happiness that everyone deserves.
 Reflection and Integration of Reading and Writing
The subject Reading and Writing Skills by Ms. Angel Banawa really helps a lot in terms of
enhancing our skills in writing essays, book review, resume, application letter and many more.
With the help of our teacher my vocabulary improves. I have learned how to use punctuations in
a proper way.
