that. If so, let us move on to
the role that prose plays in
writing.
Fulfilling the promise of a
story is the first one. The
primary function of prose in
literature is to convey an idea,
provide information, or tell a
story. It is how a writer keeps
her fundamental promise to
deliver a story with
characters, locations, plots,
and a satisfying conclusion.

For instance, a novel or short

story has the primary
objective of telling a story to
readers. These elements
include the characters, the
setting, the plot, the conflict,
and the story's moral.

Create a voice. Known as a

writer's voice, each writer
uses language in their own
unique way. Writers can

of ways.
Do you know anyone who
uses their voice to significant
effect in their writing?

Well done!

Lastly, familiarity fosters

rapport. The tone of prose is
often conversational. Readers
become more invested in the
story and its characters
because of this familiarity.
Take, for instance, SONA. Is
 it true that the State of the Yes ma’am.
Union address is delivered
naturally and fosters a
connection between the
speaker and the audience? Yes ma’am.

Did you comprehend the

three purposes that prose
serves in writing?

Glad to hear that.

Application For your action, I will bunch
you into four.

Following the four types of

prose, each group will
attempt to apply the function
of prose in writing by

prose. If you're in the

Generalization Who can again define what is
prose?

Good Job.

How about the difference of (Students’ raises hand)

Prose and Poetry? The term "prose" is a literary
device that refers to writing that
is grammatically organized and
composed of words and phrases
that form sentences and
paragraphs.

Poetry has deliberate patterns

like rhyme and rhythm,
whereas prose has a
grammatical structure with
sentences and paragraphs.

(Students’ raises hand)
Ma'am, the heroic prose. It is
prose that has either been
recorded in writing or passed
down through oral tradition;
however, it is intended to be
recited. The legends, ma'am,
are a few examples.
C. Post-Writing Activities We will have a journaling
