• INTERTEXT - Or intertextuality refers to a work whose meaning is shaped by referencing or calling to mind other texts. They help add meaning to current text. Readers get to understand the context of the piece through other texts which parallel it in terms of plot, characters, premise and the like. In an intertextual work, the context is not given immediately; only through the wealth of knowledge and experience or further research.
• HYPERTEXT - Characterized by the eternal links embedded in a

  text by the writer. The reader can read the text in a non-linear way because he is led to other links outside the main text. Enables the reader to arrive at the intended interpretation because he is led to where the author exactly where he wants him to go.
• Hello, dear readers!

  In the past blog posts, I have shown you the tranquility of Cagbalete Island, the enchanting charm of Patar Beach Bolinao, and the surreal charm of the Underground in Puerto Princesa. In this post, let me take you to one of the most beautiful places I’ve everbeen to Calaguas Island. Go to Underground Escapades!

  Hypertext example in print media
• TYPES OF CLAIMS: Claims of Fact, Claims of Value, Claims of Policy
• CLAIM OF FACT

  An argument about quantifiable topic. Note that a claim of fact is not fact; it only asserts a stand regarding a debatable topic. Example: Climate Change.
• CLAIM OF VALUE

  Argues whether something is good or bad. It is based on a judgment and evaluation on a philosophical, aesthetic or moral standpoint. Not that it is not merely a statement of subjective judgment; a claim of value is also assessed based on accurate information. Example: Divorce in the Philippines.
• CLAIM OF POLICY

  An argument which asserts the implementation of a certain policy. This is driven by the need to present a solution to problems that have arisen. It generally states solution and plans that are

  procedural and organized. Example: Policy in School Uniforms in Public School
