The collaborative work put in by the development team has ensured that each activity does not only facilitate acquisition of 21st Century skills but shall also take into consideration the circumstances, needs and well-being of each learner, especially at this time of anguish and uncertainty. Rest assured, that we have not compromised learning through this modality but that all essential competencies are covered; the same way they will be tackled substantially in succeeding modules. For the Learner: Real-life stories could be as fascinating as the fairy tales and nursery rhymes from your childhood or the online and printed novels you read in the present. The characters, the setting and the action may even be more interesting if you know how to captivate your readers through escalating the thrill in a perspective that engages them; painting colorful images with metaphors or imagery as in poetry; or setting the mood and anticipation as in the dialogues in drama. The challenge is, even while integrating these elements and devices, how you do not deviate from events as they happen in reality. As you are expected to breathe life to your experiences by using literary elements and devices, Module 1 shall begin with a discussion of the different genres and the dominant literary conventions identified with each. ii To ensure that each lesson is a full, fun and enriching experience, it is divided into the following parts: This introduces the learner What I Need where one is at in terms of to Know Competencies, Objectives, and Skills to prosper with in the subject matter.
