Information is defined as knowledge obtained from investigation, study, or

instruction. Effortlessly, you can get information by simply listening to
news reports, speeches, informative talks, and panel discussions.
Information technology enables these informative texts to become
accessible to us via radio, television, online websites, various information
platforms like YouTube, social media etc.

 Understanding Text through Advance Organizer

What I Need To Know

At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:

● understand text with the aid of an advance organizer.

What’s In

Questions:

1.What synonymous word can you think of when you

hear the word draft?

2. When preparing a draft for a news report,a speech

DRAFT or an informative talk, how do think, are information
organized by a writer?

Process Questions:
1. What word have you formed from the given set of letters?

2. Are you familiar with this graphic organizer?

3. Do you find this helpful in understanding a text you are reading?

Why?

Understanding a text may require constant practice and good technique.

One of the techniques is using an advanced organizer. Examples of
advanced organizers include metaphors, analogies, flowchart, graphs,
tables, illustrations, or even pictures. Understanding is synonymous to
interpreting. When you interpret an advance organizer, you need to draw
relationships of data, thus, forming a certain message or meaning out of
the relationship drawn. It is vital for any advance organizer to use
appropriate figures or symbols to stand for a certain data or idea. Just like
writing like a short story, poem or song, it is important to label it with a
title that usually bears the main idea in the whole graphic presentation.
Using an advance organizer is like transferring what you have understood
from the text with much lesser word used. As a result, you are summing up
the bulk of information written in long sentences and paragraphs,
synthesizing it into more important concepts or ideas in what you are
reading. Here is an example:
3 Basic Qualities of a Good Research Writing

16
1. CLARITY– it is a quality of keeping a clear content in writing that helps
readers follow and comprehend much easily. This includes a smooth line
of thought to be followed by the readers not missing the whole topic by
talking about things which are not necessary. In order to achieve clarity,
you must have a good command of the language required in the paper.
It is also necessary to spell out uncommon

17
 abbreviations and references. It is important to know these two:
coherent writing and cohesive writing. They can only be achieved if you
know what coherence and cohesion are.

● COHERENCE –is the logical bridge between words, sentences and

paragraphs. It uses devices to connect ideas within each sentence and
paragraph.
● COHESION -concerns with the flow of sentences from one to another.
It involves the tying together of new and old
information. When we write academic essays, particularly in the
humanities, we work hard to foster smooth flow of structures,
which enhances a reader's understanding of ideas.

2. VALIDITY - is the quality of having a sound basis of logic in facts.

Something is valid when it is true and correctly supported by
evidence. In conducting a research, it is important to set it right
from the beginning.

3. RELIABILITY– it is the degree to which the result of a measurement is

exact or accurate and can be proven by repeating the measurement
or procedure, eventually giving you the same result. It is very
important that there is no alteration of the result the way a
researcher wanted the result to be. It should be authentic as
presented. Reliability is synonymous to credibility that tells how
honest you are in acknowledging the sources of information too.

Comparing & Contrasting Viewed Materials with other Sources

of Information

What I Need To Know

At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:

● compare and contrast viewed material from other sources of
information.

What’s In
Questions:
1. What does the picture tell you to do or
not to do?
2. Are warning signs like this common
in your community?
3. What term is given to this material

Questions:

2. What videos do you usually watch in this

platform?

3. Do you find all videos in this platform

informative? Why or why not?

Clip art 3
4. In what way can you use this platform in
giving out accurate information?

Every day as we make choices or express our preference on what food to

eat, which restaurant to dine, what clothes to wear or what movies to
watch, most often than not we compare and contrast. For comparing and
contrasting to successfully happen, two things must be placed side by side
to see the differences and similarities of these two things in particular. In
the case of comparing and contrasting informative text presented in
different media, print, stream or even broadcast, you can evaluate them in
the aspect of presenting the content. Was it done in a way that the
audience can better understand?
Comparing- evaluating by getting the similarities of two things Contrasting-
evaluating by getting the differences of two things
Usually comparing and contrasting may go as far as evaluating elements,
features, characteristics, origin, purpose and the like.

What I Have Learned

GRAPHIC ORGANIZER: Fill in the boxes with words, phrases, or short
sentences that tell of the impact the lesson has on you.

 What’s More

Directions: Use a Venn diagram to list down the 5 similarities and

differences of print news and broadcast news. Consider the one below
as your print news and any TV news program you have watched as
your source of broadcast news. Use the model below to write your
findings. Write the similarities in the intersecting part of the two
circles and the differences in the

Exactly 100 days have passed since the first confirmed COVID-19 case was
announced in the Philippines on 30 January 2020, with a 38-year old female
from Wuhan testing positive for the novel coronavirus. On the same day, on
the other side of the world at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, WHO
activated the highest level of alert by declaring COVID-19 as a
public health emergency of international concern. The
Philippine government mounted a multi-sectoral response to the COVID-19,
through the Interagency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging Infectious
Diseases chaired by the Department of Health (DOH). Through the National
Action Plan (NAP) on COVID-19, the government aims to contain the spread
of COVID-19 and mitigate its socioeconomic impacts.

The Philippines implemented various actions including a community

quarantine in Metro Manila which expanded to Luzon as well as other parts
of the country; expanded its testing capacity from one national reference
laboratory with the Research Institute of Tropical Medicine (RITM) to 23
licensed testing labs across the country; worked towards ensuring that its
health care system can handle surge capacity, including for financing of
services and management of cases needing isolation, quarantine and
hospitalization; and addressed the social and economic impact to the
community including by providing social amelioration to low income
families. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been working with
Ministries of Health worldwide to prepare and respond to COVID-19. In the
Philippines, WHO country office in the Philippines and its partners have
been working with the Department of Health and subnational authorities to
24
respond to the pandemic. The country level response is done with support
from the WHO regional office and headquarters.

PERFORMANCE TASK 1:

You were the elected SK chairperson in your barangay. You feel that in
this time of pandemic, it is important that the people should be well-
informed of the situation
and the Do’s and Don'ts. You are also limited in your function as SK
chairperson because of the prevailing restrictions of going outside the
house. You wanted to take part in the solution to this crisis by raising
awareness. Using your knowledge on how to utilize information, make an
INFOPOSTER (a balance of text and images, graphics and or illustrations
which can enhance the content or message) It should be flexible that can
be used both for print or electronic (by using information platforms you are
familiar with). Your INFODPOSTER shall be scored based on the given
