11. Lesson
3
Producing a Creative
Representation of a
Literary Text
In this lesson, you will be able to take a flashback and reexamine what
literature means for you and how it contributes to your life. This will help you come
up with solid reasons to learn and present literature in a more realistic,
contemporary approach.
What’s In
Activity 1: Past tense
Directions: Make a list of 21st century literary genres and briefly describe each.
1. ___________________________

4. ___________________________
5. ___________________________
Which of these 21st century literary genres do you like most? Why?
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________

Regardless of countless reasons, literature in the 21st century provides
inclusive methods, such as the application of multimedia and technology, to
artistically stimulate learning and experience all facets of literature. This proves that
21st century literature influence in humans is boundless.

12. What’s New
Literature in the 21st
Century Defined
It is with no doubt that literature has shaped our lives for centuries. Our
ancestors had inscribed down the history anywhere it could possibly be conveyed
and eventually invented writing instruments or tools which fortunately have been
upgraded up to date. But what really is literature? To what extent can we say that a
piece is considered literature?
Some say that only those famous written works are considered literature but
others say that any printed material, ordinary or known, as long as it provides
significant and accurate information is literature. Those definitions are indeed
accurate, as written in most trusted dictionaries. But its meaning has rapidly
broadened upon approaching 21st century, the current generation we call modern
age. People have used multimedia and technology to present written works in a more
comprehensive, elaborative manner. We gain easy access in world literature and
words are only a type away from where we are. True that we might not be aware of
it, but our lives have been full of literature!
Literature, in conclusion, is a written collection of significant human
experiences. It communicates the beliefs, traditions and norms of a community. It
creatively shows what is in the human’s mind and heart. It tells what the soul speaks.
It symbolizes awareness and realization that we get from our circumstances or takes
a peek of the life we wish we have. Literature mirrors life which automatically means
we define literature the way we see and learn in life.
From the given information above, tell how has modernity influenced written
compositions?

Well, that is a good reflection. As you go further through the lessons in the module,
you will learn how to come up with a literary piece through different multimedia
representations.
Activity 1.1. Notice me!
Have you experienced being ‘seen’ on social media like in Messenger? Well, welcome
to the group of ‘see-zone’! You are not alone. It actually does not matter if some people
read and ignore your messages. At times, we experience a feeling of dismal especially
if we are expecting a reply from someone special. But don’t worry! Let yourself learn
instead by solving this word puzzle with a hidden message.

13. Directions: Find and encircle the nine words, two are prepositions, in the puzzle.

14. What is It
As fast as how innovations soar in the 21st century, expressing literature as
well has become more dynamic and advanced. People have long been using literature
in entertainment and publication industry, education and apparently in almost
fields. They use it for profit, aestheticism, education and expression, even to attain
unity and to search for identity. Literature captures what is essential among human
beings, and with it, we see through our lives in reality.
People interpret a thing differently in accordance to their own philosophy,
situation and the life they led. For instance, one teacher shows a glass and you have
to identify whether it is a glass half empty or a glass half full as an activity while the
other shows a picture and asks you to create a story out of it. In the 21st century, we
have learned to tell our stories through symbols, arts, pictures and other
representations that we believe could justify our identity the best. This modernity in
literature allows us to express ourselves explicitly.
The modes of presentation used in 21st Century Literature are mostly
multimedia and technology. Multimedia, from the word itself, means the use of more
than one medium in communication, such as audio, text, video, still images and
animation that are combined together to form a creative and interactive content.
Technology, on the other hand, is the broad term for the practical application of
science to achieve optimum results in the industry and offer convenience to
humanity. Technology then plays a big role in multimedia as this enable the use of
different formats to create a compact and comprehensive presentation.
Some types of multimedia platforms used in educational contexts are:
Text and Graphics
Slideshow or Presentation- is a series of still images, text, audio, video, diagrams that
are usually presented to the audience on a big screen.
Diagram- is a simple illustration that explains something by showing the breakdown,
arrangement and relationship of each part.
Infographics- is a graphic visual representation of data.

15. Audio
Podcast- an informative program mainly used as a listening tool and is found on the
Internet.
Video
Animation- is a series of images, draw by the hand or with technical drawing, that
that are manipulated through a device to create motions.
Others
Blog- A website runs by an individual or a group that writes a particular topic and
shares their personal views, commentary on the subject. Check out this written piece
as an example of blog.
A blog
I am an INFJ.
People around me have been relentlessly talking
about MBTI or known for its acronym as Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator. This test is divided into four categories: introversion
or extraversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling,
judging or perceiving. Mine is INFJ so it stands for introverted,
intuitive, feeling and judging. Well, it is not a shock when I
read my MBTI analysis as I know myself all too well, but I
got the weird feeling it did completely define me like some
sort of clairvoyant. It further explains that I am one of the
rarest kinds, which might be metaphorically interpreted as a
rare gem or just another exotic creature. While lying in bed
for hours, I realized that I already have opened almost all
sites that claim to explain my identity and still find ‘me.’
There are some daily occurrences in my life which you
may find totally different from yours. For example, I was
talking about my introverted nature to a close friend when a
random colleague barged in on the conversation and asked
me, “You’re an introvert? But you can talk.” I don’t know if
she meant joke or is purely ignorant of the term, but it was
surely not funny on my end. Meetings, as well, are hardly
bearable but unavoidable so I take a lot of effort to mix in and
keep my sanity until it is over. But before it ends, I have to
expect and mentally prepare for someone to point at me and
say, “Let us all be silent and hear what she has to say. Yes,
Miss?” Then laughter comes after. Well, they know that it is
not a matter of low intellectual ability, rather merely of a little
too unsocial behavior. In every situation, I usually find my way to be quite sophisticated,
uncomfortable and awkward. Many times I have come to a point where I doubt the nature of
my character and anxiously thought I am indeed of a rare kind.
But changes began when I deviated from views that impede my understanding on
individual differences. I practiced to block self-judgment and only ask myself the right
questions. Is it mine or people’s fault not to understand? Am I too sensitive or them being the
exact opposite? Is explanation necessary to bring awareness? Do I at least make enough
adjustments to get along with the crowd without pushing myself too hard? You might see me a
fool when I say I have no definite answer to any of that question. Easier said than done you

16. might say, and so does for me. But what I realized is that the world tells what it shows. Be it
negative or positive, your impression will be all up to you.
Society may indeed be too realistic and does not give an inner piece whenever we most
need it. That is why some of us break or sway halfway like delicate twigs on a storm. At such
lowest times of our lives, there we can possibly find time to look back and ponder on the things
we have overlooked to learn. There is that time where we decide to prioritize our wellness and
think of the best mindset that could give us inner peace in a nasty or undesirable situation.
With that, change comes to our rescue. Not the change we want the world or that person to be,
but the change we have to take within.
So yes, I am still that kind of person I was before: silent, short-tempered, bookish,
emotional, passionate, loving, genuine, and too goal-oriented. I am a mix of everything good
and bad. I am an INFJ known to be one with a rare but EXISTING character in the world. I am
that person who learns to love herself back after giving in to the fact that she cannot change
what others think. I will still be meeting the people who inflict insensitive remarks on me
perhaps tomorrow or on the next days. There will still be a need to impose mental preparation
before going to meetings or social activities. The only difference of today in the past is that I do
not need to keep the external issues I am not in control of. Hurt if hurt, be glad when happy. I
will live each day and become the confident introvert I can be.

Webinars and Online meetings are virtual meetings hold to disseminate and access
information.
Interactive media is a social media platform, such as Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram where people can actively engage in the virtual community by buttons,
emoticons, chats and comments.
The mentioned platforms are commonly used both by educators and students
in literature during presentations. To create a simple presentation or project may not
need a thorough detail. You may write a quick summary or look for the steps on the
internet on how to do something but this does not apply when making a big project
that requires multimedia and ICT skills. You will have to do careful planning by
applying your artistic skills and by utilizing the resources available.
Various multimedia platforms such as listed beforehand are widespread and
accessible, not to mention some are free but already have good functions. However,
you might get confused on how to create a project, what medium to use among the
choices, with duration, sophistication, quality and manpower in consideration.
The following guidelines will help you arrive at a conclusion, help you save
time and make quality output possible.
Identify the Problem
Stating the problem will help you figure out what you already have and you do not
have in hand to create your project.
• What will be the content? How do you want the project’s physical features to
be?
• What platform do you think is the most suitable in your presentation and in
what way do you want to present it, considering the use of effects and
multimedia formats?
• Are the main resources available? Are you familiar with their functions? If not,
can it be self-learned through guidebook or on the internet?

17. • Do you apply SMART during planning to reach your desired outcome (SMART
stands for specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound)?
Solution
Now that the problems are identified, it is the time to look for solutions. Provide
alternatives of the needed materials you do not have. Skim around to prepare the
available resources and that you might find other things essential to the project.
Actions and Deadlines
You can now proceed in the product-making process. Here, you will put your plans
into action and realize that there are some things you have overlooked. Searching for
solutions to current problems will test your creativity and resourcefulness. It will
also test your ability to adjust as you are expected to create a quality project and
meet the deadline.
Communication
If you are working alone on a project or with a group, it is good to ask people who
can make good judgments on your work and give you honest feedback. This will help
you track the areas that need improvement or remove the parts that do not
contribute to its development.
Evaluation
It is very important to reflect on what you have learned throughout the process of
creation. Through reflection, there will be a clear view of what you have done well,
what you should not do next time and what you should have done. These points will
serve as guidelines for the next project to lessen flaws and speed up the creation
process.
What’s More
Activity 1.2 Reset to Relearn
• Recall an interesting activity you presented in your English or Literature
subject. Perhaps, you represented a piece through moviemaking, radio
broadcasting, digital art or music with digital accompaniment. Then fill-out
the chart in the next page with the following data:
o Write a brief summary of the literary text and the modern mode used
in its adaptation or representation.
o List down the steps you made from planning to generating the output.
The ‘good points’ were ideas that contributed in achieving the desired
result while ‘points to consider’ were things you overlooked and fixed
during the process. Your answers will be evaluated using the given

Activity 1.3 Innovate to Resolve
Directions: Read the hypothetical situations carefully and write your stand from the
questions raised in the form of essay with a three-sentenced paragraph. Your
answers will be evaluated using the given criteria.
SITUATION 1: Ella is a Grade 11 student who has
a knack for reading and drawing. She often
represents her favorite literature into arts. On a
Tuesday morning, their Art teacher requires them
to hold a ‘contemporary art exhibition’ on Friday as
their final project on her subject. The task demands
ICT and multimedia manipulation to turn her
manual creation to digital art. However, she only
has the very basic knowledge in using technology,
and does not actually own even a smartphone. She
starts to worry as she might get low grade if she
cannot comply and might be removed in the list of
class achievers. Given the situation, what do you
think she can do the best to present a digitally-
crafted output in three days?

20. SITUATION 2
A group of friends creates a project called ‘EDUCATION MATTERS’, an idea they
learned from an essay that aims to exhibit the importance of education in one’s life.
Their city is known to have low education rate, so they take the initiative to help the
community before they graduate. Their plan includes the use of social media, book
donations, produce short education-related advertisement or write texts that
completely show the power of education. If you were a part of the team, what best
action do you suggest to take? Please write your recommendation in details.
SITUATION 3: Lin is asked by her mom to assist her younger brother, Ron, in his
studies. Reluctantly, she sits beside him and impatiently teaches him to read. They
eventually get on a fight, claiming he does not like to learn from her and her teasing
the younger brother that he reads too slow. She knew all along this scenario would
happen all over, but she knows how busy her mom is to say no. What makes it worse
is that she is not fond of reading and learning through textbook either. They only get
along when they play online games and shows off their knowledge on astronomy.
Given the unavoidable situation, she shakes off her anger and begins to think of
solutions.

22. What I Can Do
Activity 1.4 Make a Remake
Directions: Make a creative representation from the given literary text by applying
multimedia and ICT skills. Print your output in an 8.5x11 inches bond paper and
write a brief description about it. If printing is not possible, you may illustrate your
output and write a description in an extra paper and attach it in the module. Your
output will be scored using the criteria below.
The Road
By Rossel Audencial
There is a checkpoint ahead.
“Expired akong lisensiya,” mutters the driver before he swerves the tricycle to
the right, away from the waiting men in uniform along FilAm Avenue of Brgy. Fatima.
The passengers are silent. It has been raining hard since that early afternoon and
most of us are drenched from the trip downtown. Good thing, I brought a jacket with
me.
Even before the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao, checkpoints already
scattered in relative areas along the major roads in General Santos City. Blue or
Yellow Boys wave at tricycle or single motorcycle drivers to stop at the roadside and
examine faces, licenses, and vehicles.
I am sitting at the two-person back seat to the right. In front of me is a woman
in her late twenties who keeps on swiping and tapping her cell phone. Beside the
driver are two teenagers my age, male and female, their hands intertwined.
The tricycle continues to a two-lane cemented street with residential houses
along the way. This street leads to the former public cemetery which has been
privatized. Light posts stand in a distance from each other. The lights only cover a
little area around their posts. The houses are cast into shadows.
After continuing on a straight road for a while, the driver takes a turn to the
left. A woman stands alone beside a light post, its light only a faint glow above us.
The driver stops for her. She whispers something before embarking at the back and
sitting opposite me. We leave the cemented street and move on to a narrow dirt road.
At first, the way is illuminated by the bulbs of the houses we pass by; fences enclose
us on both sides. I feel the tricycle strain as the driver navigates it through mud
holes, moving to the left or to the right as the road allows, the tires squirting mud.
Single motorcycles overtake us and speed away. Another tricycle tails us for a while
but it turns to a lone street. Gradually, the houses thin as we go on until we arrive
at a crossroad. All we can see are tall grasses on both sides of the two roads. The
driver takes the one on the right, and if it wasn’t for the headlight of the tricycle, we
would have been plunged into complete darkness. I also notice that we are going
uphill as the engine seems to roar louder.

23. And we turn to the left. We reach level ground and we are now travelling on
sand. The tricycle seems heavier. There are no more houses in this part of the road,
just more grasses and darkness. I have never been in this area before. I never knew
that there are still unoccupied lands within the barangay where I live. The drone of
the tricycle echoes through the night, blending with the constant chattering of the
crickets.
Another turn to the right. The beam of the tricycle’s headlight only reaches to
a few meters of the way. No other vehicle is following us at the back. It’s like we are
alone in the vast darkness. We follow the curve of the road as it comes to us through
the light, not really knowing where it leads.
We turn to the right again. I feel like an hour has already passed without sign
of a house or the highway. I’m starting to feel uneasy. I should have not listened to
my friends. They said we won’t stay long when they invited me to have dinner with
them after we roamed around the malls the whole afternoon to try dresses for our
upcoming Junior’s Prom. Mom will surely get angry at me again. For a week now, I
have been going home at almost midnight.
“Katuod ka asa na ni, Kuy? Mura’g kaganiha pa man ta galibot-libot.” utters
the woman who is directly behind the driver, her cell phone in her hand.
“Gasunod ra pod ko sa dalan, ‘day,” the driver answers with his eyes locked
on the road. We hit another curve. Only tall grasses are visible.
To the right again. The road continues on straight then curves to another
crossroad. It is pitch black all around us except the front. The woman behind the
driver has her head turned towards the front, too. The woman beside her has her
head bowed, perhaps sleeping.
The driver turns to the right. Again. I do not know where the crisscrossing
roads lead to. And it hit me, the idea that we are lost. Lost inside a dark maze with
no way out. But mazes have traps. What if?
“Balik na lang ta?” the same woman asks, her voice on edge. We all look at
the driver.
“Dili na makaya sa akong gasolina. Duol naman ‘guro ta sa highway.” he
mumbles in a low voice. The rest of us remain silent, but a palpable tension is
starting to build inside the tricycle. The lovers in the front seat huddle closer to each
other.
The tricycle follows another curve and – a loud bump. The engine sputters and
stops. The front light snuffs out. A surge of blackness envelops us all of a sudden
that no one reacts except the driver who pushes the starter as swiftly as he can. One.
Two. The engine comes to life again together with the front light. We catch our breath
in unison. And we move on through the night.
The driver takes on a narrow pathway and is too late to realize that the puddle
ahead is deep. We are stuck. The tricycle can’t move forward, its wheels grinding and
splashing mud all over. The driver tells us all to step out. He and the male teenager
shove the vehicle away from the watery mush.
“Gabii na gyod,” says the woman who was the last one to ride with us. She is
standing a little farther from me. Her voice is clear enough for me to hear despite the
loud whine of the tricycle. Her face is turned towards the darkness behind us.

24. “Lagi, kasab-an na gyod ko ni Mama ani,” I say, looking at her. Whoosh. A
chilly wind sweeps through us. I feel it creep through my bones although I’m wearing
my jacket. She seems not to notice the cold and continues peering at the dark void.
“Sayo na lang unta ko niuli, magkauban pa unta mi ni Mama. Kamingaw diri,”
she says.
Her words arrest my attention. I’m about to ask her but the driver calls us at
the other side of the wide puddle. We tiptoe at the grassy side of the path to avoid
the mud and jump across to dry ground. One by one, we return inside the tricycle.
When we are all settled back to our seats, the tricycle begins to move again. I
look at the woman but her head is bowed again. I wonder what she means.
The road goes straight this time until we pass along small huts amidst the
grasses here and there. Then come walls of concrete at both sides of the way, and
out into the familiar highway. A few vehicles parade before us in quick succession
before we touch the cemented ground. For the first time, I’m glad to see the four-lane
concrete Fil-Am road again. I feel relieved to know that its sure point of destination
is the General Santos City International Airport. But Mom will surely castigate me;
it’s already 11 pm. I’ll just face her wrath when I arrive home.
The lovers are the first ones to leave. I transfer to the front seat. Next is the
woman with her cell phone.
“Pag-renew na sa imong lisensiya, Kuy, ha,” she says as she hands in her fare
before stepping out. She stands at my side of the vehicle.
“Oo, ‘day,” he replies as he gives her change in front of me.
We continue through the highway. The whole span of it is bright because of
the tall light posts at each side street. The establishments at both roadsides are
closed, but their incandescent lights are on. But now I know that the darkness is out
there, far beyond the artificial brightness. Always there with the grasses and the
crossroads. I shiver at the thought of being there earlier.
“Asa man ka, ‘day?” the driver asks me.
“Didto lang sa may Julie’s bakery.”
“Hay salamat, makauli na gyod ko.” The driver smiles.
“Naa pa man ka pasahero.” I stare at him. He must be joking.
“Ha? Ikaw na lang man nabilin.” He looks at me, questioning.
What about the woman? I turn my head around to look at the back seat.
It’s empty.
