LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET IN ENGLISH 10


Quarter 1, Module 1

This lesson deals with getting information from various sources in everyday life. Information, as available data
everywhere, can be found in various platforms and means such as news reports, speeches, informative talks,
and panel discussions, among others. Getting information will basically expose you not only in pool of
knowledge, but should also help you identify which details are factual and not. You are expected to identify
certain details from different sources and use them in various contexts.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION There are various sources of information that you may use in finding
significant details and data that can be used in your daily life. Sources of information may be classified as to
primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. The context of information presented in a source is helpful in
classifying information.

Primary Sources
Primary Sources of information are classified as primary if they are authentic and have not been subjected to
evaluation or assessment. These report discoveries, sharing of information and are first-hand. These are
information written at a certain time or period of research. Definition of primary sources vary depending on
the contexts and/or disciplines.
Examples: speeches video recordings photographs government records
communication newspaper/magazine portraying information from eyewitnesses

Secondary Sources
Secondary sources provide information, discussion, and/or interpretation of the evidence. These are usually
evaluations of primary sources. These are also information written by authors who do not personally witness
the event or action. Definition of secondary sources vary depending on the contexts and/or disciplines.

Critiques
Evaluations

journals/magazines (not portraying information from eyewitnesses)

Tertiary Sources
