15. The So Called “New Normal”
Written by: Aileen P. Valverde
It was a bright Sunday morning at the beach. I am at the shore
happily enjoying myself with the cool breeze of the wind that touches my
face and the calmness brought about by the waves kept ringing on my
ears. It was such a lovely scene just looking at the vastness of the deep,
blue sea. It soothes my weary soul for I have been through a lot for the
past few weeks. Being at the beach is always a welcome experience for me.
It brings back my strength and vitality that I will need when I get back to
the city. That’s why from time to time; I want to pamper myself with a treat
at the beach. As I was about to dive at the crystal water, when someone
knocked hardly on my door, it was Mother waking me up for I have a
virtual meeting with my principal at exactly 8:00. I really thought that it was

debris caused by the ricocheting bullet.

Annotating the text can take ANY form—sketching, words, phrases, and/or complete sentences.
The challenge is in not becoming so focused on background knowledge and prior experiences such that we end up spending little time on the textual information. Activation alone, although important, doesn’t expand knowledge.
These include building stamina and persistence when confronted by a reading that isn’t easily consumed. In addition, students need to build the habit of considering their own background knowledge when there isn’t someone prompting them to do so. Paul and Elder (2003) recommended that students regularly engage in four such habits:
1. Identifying their own purpose for reading the text
2. Determining the author’s purpose for writing it
3. Developing their own schema
4. Considering the thought systems of a discipline, or what we might call genres and discipline-specific language (e.g., a poem differs from a science article)
