 IDENTIFYING REAL OR
MAKE-BELIEVE IMAGES
As an intermediate learner, you should know and
learn the difference between reality and make-believe
images. As you are exposed to various media platforms
such as television, social media, and print media,
knowledge on identifying real from make-believe is an
important skill. Through careful and critical analysis of
images, you could develop this ability making you a
thinking audience.
 The word “image” came from
the Latin word “imago” which
refers to any item that depicts visual
perception, such as a photograph or
other two-dimensional picture,
resembling an object.
 Print images include
printed photographs and
images found in magazines,
newspapers and books.
 On the other hand, non-print
images can be digital images
available for viewing in electronic
devices such as mobile phones,
television and computers.
1. Real images are pictures
which depict visuals of objects
or happenings that exist in real
life. These are also known as
fact images.
Real images are true; they are
facts that can be proven. They
can be experienced or witnessed
by a person. They exist and we
can see, hear, feel, taste, or touch
them.
The purposes of these images can be:
a. to inform or to educate (like actual photos of
animals)
b. to tell stories (like in picture-story books)
c. to entertain (like stolen photos with funny content)
d. to persuade (like the actual photos of burnt lungs
of a smoker to encourage others to quit smoking).
2. Make-believe images are
pictures which illustrate
something that is not real.
Though these images may have
some realistic features, they are just
product of imagination, thus, do not
exist in real life. These are also
known as non-fact images.
These images can be used with the following
purposes:
a. to entertain (like images of fantasy world and
magical creatures)
b. to tell fiction stories (like picture books of fairy
tales)
c. to persuade (like some editorial cartoons that
express opinions through caricatures and visual
symbols)

 "Creativity is intelligence having fun!"

In your notebook, create your own

images (real and make-believe
images) based on the given topics.
Consider the indicators in the rubric in
making your illustrations.

1. Our Sun is a 4.5 billion-year-old star – a

hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium at
the center of our solar system. The Sun is
about 93 million miles (150 million
kilometers) from Earth, and without its
energy, life as we know it could not exist here
on our home planet.

2. All types of trees play an important role in our
ecosystem. Trees provide shade, shelter, oxygen,
and many even produce fruit. There are over 60,000
species of trees that come in all shapes and sizes,
from majestic cedars to smaller fruit trees and shrubs.
Identifying the different kinds of trees usually depends
on examining their leaves and bark. Some types of
trees have wide oval leaves, some have star-shaped
ones, and many evergreen trees have needle leaves.

3. Bats are fascinating animals – the only true flying
mammal. Like all mammals they feed their young
ones milk. We don’t see bats very often because they
usually fly around only at night. During the daytime
they hang in dark rooms of buildings, caves, hollow
trees and other dark places. There are about 900
types of bats. They live all over the world except in
colder regions.

Draw/ illustrate one real (fact) and make believe (non

fact) image for each paragraph below. For the real
image, you may use the lines from the paragraphs as
clues. For the make believe image, you can think of a
famous fictional character related to it or create your
own imaginary image. Remember, the power of
imagination can create images much farther than
your naked eyes can see.
 Bats can grow to be big or small. The largest ones have
a wingspan of up to 1.5 metres; others are only 15 cm wide.
The mouth of a bat is similar to the one of a rat or fox. They
have large, pointed ears and grey or brown fur.
Bats have long arms and hands with especially long
fingers. These are connected to the legs with membranes,
which form their wings. The muscles in them make it easy
for a bat to fly. When taking a rest a bat usually hangs
upside down with its claws connected to a hard surface.
