created by its author. This skill will help you better understand and adapt critical
thinking toward everything you are reading.
Furthermore, this will help you become better in developing your ideas when
writing. The scope of this module permits it to be used in various practices that deal
with reading and writing.
CONTENT STANDARD: The learner understands the relationship of
a written text and the context and the
context in which it was developed.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The learner writes a 1000-word critique of a

Lesson
1
Identify the Context in
which a Text was
Developed
Writing does not exist in a vacuum.
This means that when people engage in writing, what they write about
and how they write it is influenced by many factors, including their personal
circumstances, experiences, educational background, beliefs, socio-political
events, as well as their target audience and expectations about their response.
All of this is known as the CONTEXT of a given text. For example,
journalists write about current events while historians write about noteworthy
personalities and happenings from the past.
What about you? When you are feeling happy or in love, this is perhaps
evident in your social media posts. But when you are sad or bitter, then you
will probably have hugot posts instead.
Now that you already understand what CONTEXT means, it is time for
us to discuss about HYPERTEXT and INTERTEXT.

What is It
Now that you already understand what CONTEXT means, it is time for
us to discuss about HYPERTEXT and INTERTEXT.
HYPERTEXT
The Internet is commonly referred to as an “information superhighway” because
there is so much information that you can access through it within a few clicks.
One effective way by which information becomes readily accessible on the Internet
is through the extensive use of hypertexts by websites. What is a hypertext, then?
When reading articles online, you may notice that some words or phrase in a
particular body of text is highlighted by being underlined or published using a
different font color. Notice also that when you hover your mouse over the
underlined or highlighted text, you will see a link to another webpage. If you click
on that, you will be taken to that webpage.
The HYPERTEXT system enables users to click on a particular link to obtain more
information on another web page either on the same website or in another website
anywhere.
If you are a regular reader for WattPad, you will see that the website uses
hypertext that will enable you to read other stories published there. Another
website that uses hypertext is the educational portal Wikipedia. Ted Nelson, an
American expert in information technology, is credited for coining the term
“hypertext” in 1963.
Meanwhile, an embedded link created through the hypertext system is called a
HYPERLINK. A hyperlink would appear like this: www.FilipinoScribe.com, wherein
if you click that highlighted text, you will be taken to the website The Filipino
Scribe.
INTERTEXT
Derived from the field of literature, the concept of INTERTEXTUALITY emphasizes
that texts can be better understood in relation to or in the context of other texts.
This is an acknowledgment that all texts are based on or at least have been
influenced by previously-written works. This influence can be seen through
similarities in style, content, among others.

14. 7
In literature, it is common to read common themes in the works of a particular
author or in the works of authors from the same generation, etc.
For example, our national hero Jose Rizal tacked the abuses committed by
Spaniards in the Philippines in his two novels “Noli Me Tangere” and “El
Filibusterismo.” British author J. K. Rowling, for her part, is best known as the
writer of the Harry Potter book series that was published over a period of ten
years. Can you think of other literary works where intertextuality can be noted?
When doing research, intertextuality is also important. While you are required to
submit an original work, it will still be necessary for you as a researcher to read
up on what other scholars have written about your specific topic and its related
fields. Doing this will be essential in doing your review of related literature.
When brainstorming for research methodology you will use for your project, you
may look at how previous researchers did theirs. In both occasions, you have to
cite your sources to avoid plagiarism.
What’s More
Activity 3
Look for three English songs from any artist of your choice.
Once you’ve picked three songs from a particular artist, explore the concept of
INTEXTEXTUALITY by answering the following guide questions
1) Search for the lyrics of the songs that you have chosen.
2) In two to four sentences, highlight the common themes among the songs
based on their lyrics.
A sample has been done for you:

I'm standin' there
On a balcony in summer
air”
Love is a common theme
among songs by Taylor
Swift.
In her songs, she sang
about different aspects of
love, like romantic
reminiscing, the feeling of
optimism, and even
hopelessness.
“You Belong with Me” “I know your favorite
songs
And you tell me 'bout
your dreams
Think I know where you
belong
Think I know it's with
me”
“Back to December” “Maybe this is wishful
thinking
Probably mindless
dreaming
But if we loved again, I
swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and
change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your
door, I understand”

What I Can Do
Activity 4v: Using the “Notes” feature of your personal Facebook
account, write a one-paragraph blog post with five sentences each
about the importance of wearing face masks.
Then, to illustrate the concept of HYPERTEXT, make sure to add
at least three hyperlinks in your written text.
Make sure that your post is available publicly, and that the link
will be sent to your teacher via Messenger.

Assessment
Read this poem titled “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley. To apply the
concept of intertextuality, write a 300-word essay about your dreams using
this poem as the context. You may write your work in a piece of paper or
submit it online via Facebook messenger.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
