THE TEXT AS CONNECTED DISCOURSE
Webster defines discourse as “an orderly and extended expression of

connected thought on a subject.”
Ball, et al. (2008) defines it as “more than just a string of individual target
segments joined together in series, since each segment is liable to influence
the segments that surround it.
The traditional forms of discourse are narration, description,

exposition, and argumentation.
Narration- is the act or process of narrating or telling a story. It involves

action, characters, and a theme. Narration can be an incident, anecdote,
historical account, autobiography, biography, or a novel.
Example:
The Man and the Little Cat

Once upon a time, there was a man who lived. This gentleman was not only
kind, but also wise. He loved both animals and people.
He decided to go for a walk one day. The man thought, "Fresh air will help me
reduce my stress." He preferred to stroll through the forest because there
were few places to explore. He was fascinated by everything until he heard an
odd noise followed by a cry.
The man quickly searched the area for its source. He eventually found it along
the street. He inquired, "What is this?" He noticed a cat in a shallow hole. The
cat tried but failed to claw its way out of the hole.
Description or Descriptive- writing uses sensory writing with rich vivid

details that appeal to man’s five sense- sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell.
Figures of speech are often used to enhance the sensory experience of the
readers. It involves careful selection and arrangement of details (i.e. general
to specific or vice versa) and accurate word usage. All these lead to a
dominant impression.
Example:
The sunset filled the entire sky with the deep color of rubies, setting the
clouds ablaze. The waves crashed and danced along the shore, moving up and
down in a graceful and gentle rhythm like they were dancing.
Exposition or Expository- writing provides information about one or

more topics. It informs, explains, expounds, and interprets. Expository
writing includes exemplification or classification, comparison and contrast,
cause and effect, and problem-solution.
Example:
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Throughout The Great Gatsbyy, Nick Carraway serves as narrator, a role in
which he provides exposition for the complex and sometimes convoluted
elements of the plotline. It is through his exposition that readers get a sense of
the decadence and superficiality of Jay Gatsby's opulent lifestyle.
"I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby’s house I was one of the few
guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited—they went
there. They got into automobiles which bore them out to Long Island, and
somehow they ended up at Gatsby’s door. Once there they were introduced by
somebody who knew Gatsby, and after that they conducted themselves
according to the rules of behavior associated with an amusement park.
Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the
party with simplicity of heart that was its own ticket of admission."
Persuasive discourse or argumentation- persuades readers through

proofs of the writer’s view.
Example:
Why Students Should Not Wear Uniforms
School uniforms and why students wear them has been a topic of concern and
debate for as long as these clothes have been around. Though people who
argue that wearing uniforms in educational institutions make people appear
all equal, give a sense of community, and teach discipline, I believe there are
more disadvantages to wearing uniforms than advantages. Namely,
demanding students to adorn uniforms takes away freedom, they are often
uncomfortable, they are a waste of money, they promote conformity over
individuality, and children’s self-image is damaged more when they wear
uniforms at school.
V. Application
 The teacher will give the activity to the students on identifying the text as
connected discourse through presenting an example of discourses.
VI. Generalization
The teacher will ask the students to summarize the topic that we discuss. The teacher
will ask the students the following questions;
1. What is Discourse?
