SPARKS Explained……………………………………………………………………….. i
Feedbacks…………………………………………………………………………………12-14
Sparks are produced in welding. When an electrode touches the arc, sparks are
produced. In learning, sparks are symbols of success in learning. When there is learning,
there is light. When there are a lot of learning, there are a lot of lights. Just like in welding,
when sparks are produced, it only shows that you are already applying what you learned in
welding.
The term SPARKS is also an acronym of the different processes involved in learning.
It stands for the different parts of the module. S stands for Setting it up. It is
presented by this photo: , a photo of a welder who is getting ready to switch on
the welding machine. In learning, we have to get everything ready for learning to occur,
including our previous learning and experiences which may help us learn a new lesson. P is
switching on the switch button. In welding, after checking in on the readiness of everything,
we can now begin the welding process. After considering all factors that may facilitate
learning, it is now high time for learning to begin. A stands for Angling it Right.
It is symbolized by this photo: . In welding, if correct angling is not applied, the
weld may be considered bad and no client ever wants it, thus it thus need to have a correct
angle. In learning, when our knowledge of a certain concept is not enough, it may result to
unlearning; hence, we need to practice more so that we can have a deep learning of the lesson
or concept. R and K stand for Reinforcing and Keeping It. They are
symbolized by this picture: . When we reinforce, we keep the weld intact so that
whatever happens, the weld remains firm. Likewise, we need to make our learning intact and
firm, so that when the time comes for us to use them in school, and later in our careers, we
can always be sure that our learning will guide us achieve what we are supposed to achieve.
S stands for Scarf it, which, in welding, technically means the removal of defects of
the weld. We need to remove the defects of the weld so that it may become highly useful and
highly effective in serving its purposes. In learning, after we learned the different knowledge,
skills, and competencies, there is a need that our learning be assessed and evaluated in order
to test whether what we learned are correct. If there are any confusion or misunderstanding
on a certain concept, it needs to be corrected by the help of the teacher so your learning can
Moreover, in the module you will find an icon of a welder directing the electrode

In the previous lesson, you were taught how to explain a text in your own words.
You were able to make the text simpler and clearer to the general public. That was
a great experience, SMAW learners, most especially, when you let the public know
in simpler terms how to ensure their health and safety when visiting your welding
laboratory.
At this time, we are proceeding to reading more academic texts, and longer
academic texts. Now, the task ahead may sound so great, but when we know the
“shortcuts” to it, we may find the activity more fun and more exciting, since we are
into developing a skill! So, let’s get started!
2
Yes No
1. When reading an academic text I first looked
for the sentence which tells me what the text
is all about.
2. I know that in an essay or research paper,
there is that sentence which states the main
point or claim of that essay/research paper.
3. When reading an academic text, I know how
to look for examples or evidences that
explain or develop its main point.
4. That sentence that summarizes the main
point of an essay adds excitement on my part
to read more about the essay or text.
5. When I write my own paragraph I usually
have that one sentence in which all other
ideas in my paragraph revolve
etting it up…
At this time, let’s try reading other texts which do not only focus on
welding.
____________________________________________________________
2. Is the “idea” of the essay supported by facts? If yes, what are those facts? If
not, why do you think so?
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
Did you have almost the same answers with those at the Feedback? That’s not
bad at all!
Were the writers of the text able to support their claims? Do they have bases for
saying so?
Now, actually that general/ central statement/ claim in the text which you read a
while ago is an example of a thesis statement. Do you know what a thesis statement
is?
owering it on!
There are various online sites that can give you notes about thesis statements,
but I found this one from https://shared.uoit.ca/ easy-to-understand. The site
provides characteristics of an effective thesis as:
2. It is contestable and arguable. It means: Are there two sides of the matter?
Could someone disagree? The answer should be yes.
3. It is concentrated on a focused point: not too broad and not too narrow.
Now, just in case you forget what a good thesis is, just remember the 6 Cs of a
thesis- Clear, Contestable, Concentrated, Complex, Compelling, and Connected.
Perhaps you may ask, why do I need to look or know the thesis statement of an
essay or a research paper? Remember, what was said: there will be times when you
will be reading longer essays or research papers on SMAW in order to update
yourselves with what’s new in the business, and what’s new in welding.
Some of the advantages of knowing and using the thesis statement are:
ngling it right!
We have just learned about the thesis statement and its characteristics.
Let us also justify our answer by writing our reasons in the spaces provided.
___1. Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding cause sparks and flying metal.
As weld cool they can throw off slag.
_____________________________________________________________________
___2. Contact to welding smoke in the past does not increase the chances of you
getting pneumonia now.
_____________________________________________________________________
___3. Ensure that there is enough place for air to circulate to avoid contact from air
of glues, lacquers, paints, and from dust and fumes.
___4. In a recent study, it was found out that the scientific evidence relating to
welding fume and asthma was not strong enough to list welding fume as a confirmed
cause of asthma.
_____________________________________________________________________
___5. Exposure to noise in the presence of welding fumes may be associated with
increased hearing loss in welders (Solano et al., 2010).

The use of weld bonding (i.e., a combination of resistance spot welding and
adhesive bonding) as a structural fastener is increasing in the automotive industry.
However, a series of issues needs to be addressed such as the influence of adhesive
characteristics (e.g., adhesive properties and bond line thickness) in the weld bonding
application to enhance the knowledge of this technology and reinforce its use. As part
of the development and implementation of weld bonding, the present study was
undertaken to experimentally evaluate the effects of the adhesive characteristics on
the weld quality of weld-bonded multiple steel sheets.

2. Philippines as a Christian nation has been divided between the turn of the drive
of the new government to eradicate drugs and giving chance to those who are
involved in the syndicate that are rooting in the realm of the country’s unexpected
places. With the various media, news about the “alleged extrajudicial killings” are
explicitly showcased that children nowadays are exposed to. It was observed that
killings are blatantly shown in the newspaper, television and in the internet. It is the
intention of this research to explore how children were able to know and define the
“alleged extrajudicial killings” in their own understanding with the utilization of
Collaizi’s seven steps data analysis. Also, it attempts to dig down their stances in the
“alleged extrajudicial killings” as the government embattles drugs syndicate.

4. The logic seems so simple: more condoms, less disease, fewer teen
pregnancies. That was the rationale behind a major policy push across the country in
the early 1990s: Facing the then-fatal threat of HIV/AIDS, districts from Colorado to
California to New York introduced condom-distribution programs in schools.
According to a study published this month, over the course of just a few years, 22
districts in 12 states implemented this kind of program, affecting roughly 484
schools. In about two-thirds of the schools, kids had to go through mandatory
counseling to get the condoms. Condom access didn’t decrease the rate of teen
births, though. It seems, in fact, to have increased it. The researchers estimate that
these programs were responsible for roughly two additional births per 1,000 teens.
And this rate was significantly higher when students could get condoms without any
counseling.
Clue: What was the result of condom access on the rate of teen births?

1. The text is all about how children are more inclined to learn from watching television
although it be good or bad.
2. Yes. The claim was supported by examples like the mention of a television set which
is never too busy to talk to children, television programs that go to considerable
lengths to attract and hold the attention of youngsters, and the many fathers and
mothers who spend a minimum amount of time and effort maintaining direct contact
with their children

2. The statement is a thesis statement. It is arguable, because there are studies that
state that pneumonia is a disease that welders suffer because of their exposure to
welding gases and fumes. The statement also has the characteristics of thesis
statements such as: the language is clear; the idea is concentrated on a focused
point; it is complex as it may lead to more researches/studies; it is compelling, as it
interests welders on how to avoid such disease.
4. The statement is a thesis statement. It is arguable, because there are studies that
state that since welders are exposed to gases and fumes, they are prone to
respiratory diseases like asthma. The statement also has the characteristics of thesis
statements such as: the language is clear; the idea is concentrated on a focused
point; it is complex as it may lead to more researches/studies; it is compelling, as it
interests welders on how to avoid such disease.
5. The statement is a thesis statement. It is arguable, because there are studies that
state that since welders are exposed to noise during welding, ideas on how it could
be minimized should be dealt with by the companies and the government. The
statement also has the characteristics of thesis statements such as: the language is
clear; the idea is concentrated on a focused point; it is complex as it may lead to
more researches and studies; it is compelling, as it interests welders on how to
minimize the effect of noise in welding.
