Lesson Writing News Report
1
Remember: Please wash your hands with soap for twenty (20) seconds
before and after handling your module and worksheets.
Using information from news reports is important since the
purpose is to inform readers especially about events that are
around us and may also affect us. It can make you feel connected
too, but conflict of interest may rise the way news is reported.
That’s why news reports have a certain structure that you need to
follow to ensure you can find the most important information
quickly.
In this lesson you will use information from news reports.
You will accomplish diverse tasks in completing news report plans,
with code facts using contents to order and separate information.

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

a.use information from news reports that can be used in everyday life;
b. promote the interest and sense of responsibility of the learners
in validating the quality of information needed in academic and
personal use by writing a news; and
c. develop the abilities to organize information and construct it into a
text.
LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 3
What’s In
Now, recall your favorite news reporter or anchor. How
did he/she craft the content of his/her report? Is the
information reliable and/or credible?

Imagine that you are the said reporter. As a reporter, you should aim
to write news reports that are truthful, fair, balanced and interesting.
How will you begin your news report? Which information will you
include in the middle section? How will you end your report? What do
you need to remember about using paragraphs in news reports?
Activity 1.1 Just take a look/read this headline.

P22.7-m shabu seized; 50 suspects nabbed from June 15-20

1. Authorities seized around PHP22.7 million worth of suspected
illegal drugs and arrested 50 suspects in intensified operations
nationwide in a week.
2. Among the highlights of week-long accomplishments of the PNP
include the arrest of two drug suspects by officers of the District
Drug Enforcement Unit of the Northern Police District for carrying
PHP1.36 million worth of shabu from a drug suspect in a buy-bust
launched by the Drug Enforcement Unit of the Tacloban City Police
Office last July 19.
3. Philippine National Police chief, Gen. Archie Gamboa
commended the PNP Drug Enforcement Group (PDEG) and police
regional offices for their sustained operations against the illegal
drug trade in the country while the National Capital Region Police
Office (NCRPO) intensified its illegal drugs drive with buy-busts in
Paranaque, Caloocan, Navotas, Quezon City, Marikina, Pasig,
Manila, Taguig, and Las Piñas.
4. Meanwhile, operatives of the Tinglayan Municipal Police Station
(MPS) uprooted and burned on-site last June 15, around 13,500
fully grown marijuana plants worth around PHP2.8 million that
were planted by unidentified suspects on a 1,100-square meter lot

LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 4

 in Barangay Tulgao West, Tinglayan, Kalinga.
5. Last June 18, an 18-year-old drug suspect who considered as a
high-value target was arrested along with his partner caught with
PHP11.6 million worth of shabu.
What’s New
This time you will go through the process of developing ideas
and collecting and organizing information. You will use the
information you have gathered in
composing a news report to go with the headline. Use the
questions that you crafted out of each answer to decide what
order you will put the information in.
What is It
Follow this guide in writing the news report. These are the parts
of the news reports.
1. News Reports begin with a catchy HEADLINE. Headline is the
heading at the top of an article or page in a newspaper or magazine.
Ex. COVID-19 deaths soar high in Cebu City
2. LEAD PARAGRAPH informs the reader of the most important
aspects of the story as soon as possible. The LEAD PARAGRAPH is
often the only part of the story that people read. Use the 5Ws rule:
• WHO (is involved)
• WHAT (took place)
• WHEN (did it take place)
• WHERE (did it take place)
• WHY (did it happen)
• HOW (did it happen) – only include this if there is space
Ex. This evening at about 10:00 p.m. at Malaya Hotel, the Senator, while
at the lobby with his family, was shot by an assassin, by a riding in tandem.
3. BODY of the News Report gives more details and provides more
information about the WHY and HOW of the story.
4. TAIL contains the less important information which is often
omitted by the newspaper editor if there is not enough space left in
the newspaper.

LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 5

 Hints:
• Your News Report should be easy to understand; every news
story should be able to be read by a twelve-year-old learner.
• Try to be fair – include both sides of the story and don’t let your
opinion get in the way of reporting the facts.

Lesson Recognizing Information from Contextualized
2 Speech
Welcome! You are set to discover new lesson on using
information. This time, you will be learning new ways to use
information from speeches as you go along this learning journey.

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

a. use information from speeches that can be used in everyday life;
b. promote the interest and sense of responsibility in validating the
quality of information needed in academic and personal use by
identifying the types of speech according to purpose; and
c. develop the abilities to organize information and construct it into a
text.
What’s In
In the previous lesson, you have learned the following how to write
a news report using proper order of writing news report and getting
and using information from news report.

These will help you in recognizing relevant information from news

reports that could help you in your everyday lives.

What’s New
We have different strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes, those
weaknesses can make us feel worthless. But rediscovering and
recreating yourself can transform you into an extraordinary

LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 6

individual.
The speech you are about to read will help you reflect your self-worth.

Do you know who you are? When you look at yourself in the
mirror, what do you see? The best version of yourself? A façade? A
blank picture of yourself? Or you have got amnesia? Or where you
can no longer feel your inner self? That’s the worst feeling one
could ever have and comparable to dark night. What you see in the
mirror is exactly what you see, what you get and what you are.
Again, the question is who you are? This poses you to rediscover
who you truly are and how to reveal, redefine, and reactivate
yourself again.

To turn to your original condition, every time you broke your inner
senses, every time you struck by your fears, every time you lost
courage and hope and every time you failed. Blindfolded with all the
shams and drudgeries in life, we are curtailed to bring out the best
in us. The challenge is there all the time, put your blindfolded off,
for this is just test of life.

Remembering and believing who we are, is just the start of living

life to the fullest-again this is the first step. Next is to live the truth.
You are created for a purpose thus loved by God. With this, you will
experience healing inside and that your completeness through Him
will then radiate love and joy to others too. No philosophers, even
the best ones can give us the best ways to overcome your personal
challenges. It is just our relationship with God. The best system is
prayer. When you pray, you talk to God and your journey with Him
will take place. It is our pause from time to time that we will be
refreshed of something new, something better, a fresh start, a
clean state, and a new journey to begin again. We can choose
differently! Remember, what matters most is not how others see
you, but how you truly see yourself. Who are you when you are all

LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 7

alone? When no one is watching? How do you see yourself
determines how you allow people to treat you? How you see
yourself dictates what you expect from others, from life, from God.

Choose today to be the greatest version of yourself. Do not forget

to wear the best make-up SMILE, and the world will smile at you.

Eden Grace C. Yungco, “Overcoming Personal Challenges”, 2020

Answer Activity 2.1 and 2.2 on the Activity Sheet.

Well done buddy! Now, it is time to identify the different types of
speeches according to purpose.
What is It
These are the four basic different types of speech according to
purpose:
1. Informative- provides interesting and useful information to
audience. Example: Municipal Health Office (MHO)
telling the community on precautionary
measures to avoid the spreading of virus.
2. Demonstrative- teaches you something that includes a
demonstration of how to do the thing.
Example: How to do proper hand washing
3. Entertainment- provides pleasure and enjoyment that makes
the audience laugh.
Example: Telling about a hilarious movie.
4. Persuasive- to convince people or change in some way; to
start doing something.

Informative Speech
Welcome learners to your new lesson in this self-learning
module. This time, you will embark new ideas in using information
LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 8
 from informative talks.

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

a. use information from informative talks that can be used in everyday
life;
b. promote the interest and sense of responsibility in
validating the quality of information needed in academic and
personal use by composing a descriptive speech; and
c. develop the abilities to organize information and construct it into a
text.

What’s New
Read the following speech below. Take down important notes as
you go along and answer the questions that follow.

Excerpt from Marie Curie's speech on the discovery of radium:

I could tell you many things about radium and radioactivity
and it would take a long time. But as we cannot do that, I shall only
give you a short account of my early work about radium.
Radium is no more a baby, it is more than twenty years old,
but the conditions of the discovery were somewhat peculiar, and
so it is always of interest to remember them and to explain them.
We must go back to the year 1897. Professor Curie and I worked at
that time in the laboratory of the school of Physics and Chemistry
where Professor Curie held his lectures. I was engaged in some
work on uranium rays which had been discovered two years before
by Professor Becquerel. I spent some time in studying the way of
making good measurements of the uranium rays, and then I
wanted to know if there were other elements, giving out rays of
the same kind. So, I took up a work about all known elements, and
their compounds and found that uranium compounds are active
and all thorium compounds, but other elements were not found
active, nor were their compounds. As for the uranium and thorium
LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 9
 compounds, I found that they were active in proportion to their
uranium or thorium content.

Activity 3.1 Comprehension Questions: Based on Marie Curie’s

speech, answer the following questions below and share your
answers to your classmates via Messenger. Send your Screen
Shot`s convo. in our GC.
1. What did Marie Curie had discovered?
2. What did she find out about uranium compound?
3. How old was radium when she discovered it?
4. When did she engage herself in working on uranium rays?
5. Who discovered the uranium rays?
What is It
An informative speech is one that intends to educate the audience
on a topic. This type of speech uses descriptions, demonstrations,
vivid details, and definitions to explain a subject, person, or place
the audience want to understand.

An informative speech makes a complex topic easy to understand

or offers a different point of view. It should rely less on pathos,
which is an appeal to the emotions of the audience and an
important component of persuasive speeches. Instead, informative
speech might rely on visual aids.
These are the types of informative speech:
1. Descriptive- helps the speaker create an accurate mental
picture in the mind of an audience regarding a specific person,
place, or thing.
2. Demonstrative- describes how to perform an action.
3. Explanatory- explains the state of a topic.
4. Definition- explains a concept or theory regarding a topic.

LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 10

What’s More
Informative speech has different types depending on the speaker
and what fits the audience. This time, you will answer another activity
that will enhance your knowledge on using the information on
different types of informative talks.
Activity 3.2 Choose your best picture. Come up with words or
phrases that best describe your chosen picture. Make sure to be
specific and detailed with your description. Paste your picture and
write your answers on a separate bond paper. Submit it with your

Lesson Organizing Panel Discussion in
4
Making Decisions.
Hello, Grade 10 learners! You are almost done with this Self-
Learning Module. Do you enjoy brainstorming activities with a
certain group? What have you observed? Have you ever tried
sharing your ideas to the group? Did the sharing end up well? Is
everybody satisfied with the result? In this lesson, you will be
learning how to organize ideas and to address certain issues in front
of an audience.
After going through this lesson, you will be expected to:
a. use information from panel discussions that can be used in
everyday life;
b. promote the interest and sense of responsibility in validating
the quality of information needed in academic and personal use by
managing a panel discussion and;
c. develop the abilities to organize information and construct it into
a text.
What is It
How was your experience in interviewing your family
members? Did you find it difficult to gather their answers? Have you

LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 11

come up with a unifying idea to discuss the certain issue?
Panel discussions are useful if an issue is too complex for one
person to handle, or if the audience needs to be exposed to various
viewpoints at the same session. To avoid long-winded and disjointed
sessions, here are some basic tips to help the audience engaged in
a meaningful and lively discussion.
1. Keep the panel small and focused. Small panel number will be easy
to manage and to flesh out all points of view.
2. Plan the questions ahead of time. Planning questions will help you
bullet some points to discuss during the discussion.
3. Open with a brief reference to the topic being discussed. It is
important to welcome the audience and lead into the topic with
a short hook. A short quote, an analogy, or anecdote will warm up
the audience and highlight the importance of the event.
4. Keep the focus on the panel, not on you. Maintain an appropriate
tone, keep people on task, and ensure everyone gets ample time
to present his or her point of view.
5. Prepare your “cut-off phrases” ahead of time. Having some pre-
planned cut-of phrases will help filter the long-winded ramble of
topics. Using this tactic will keep the discussion focused and on
time.
ANSWER Activity 4.3 and the ASSESSMENT on the Activity Sheet

LESSON
The Effect of Textual Aids on the Understanding of
2 a Text

Get Started!

Using textual aids like advance organizers is a great way for you
to dissect and present information in a more comprehensible way.
Everyone would agree that a text accompanied by illustrations or graphical
representation is easier to understand and follow compared to a full page
monotonous gray text. In short, textual aids are used to present
information or concepts that can be easily understood.
LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 12
 At the end of this lesson you are expected to:
1. determine the effect of advance organizers on the understanding of
a text;
2. illustrate concepts and ideas from a text using advance
organizers like Venn Diagram and Cause & Effect Diagram;
and
3. appreciate the importance of graphic organizers in understanding a
text.
What’s In
Last time, you learned how to make use of information from news reports,
speeches, informative talks and panel discussions in your everyday life. From
time to time you are even flooded with information from your news feed in your
social media accounts. Obviously, these sources of information differ from one
another in terms of structure, purpose and medium. As you face another learning
journey, you will learn how to present information from a reading text through
textual aids like advance organizers which also come in different forms.

Before you begin the new lesson, take a look and review the concepts you
learned in the past lesson.
What sources of information did you learn that also guide you in your everyday
life?

What is It
Advance or graphic organizers are visual displays of key content
information to facilitate understanding of ideas. Using them to present
information helps construct knowledge for a better understanding of a text.

LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 13

Using diagrams is among the most common ways of organizing ideas and
concepts. Among them are the Venn Diagram and Cause and Effect
Diagram.
Venn Diagram is commonly used in comparing and contrasting two or
more ideas, concepts, characters, places or things. This is useful in showing
similarities and differences between or among ideas or concepts presented.
It uses circles where the overlapping portion contains the similarities while
those outside the overlapping section are the differences.

Cause and Effect Diagram/ Organizer is used to illustrate cause and

effect relationships. It is used to show why something happens or explain
the effects of something. It can be presented using different shapes and
the connection between ideas which can be indicated by the use of lines
and arrows. There are a lot of creative ways in illustrating cause and effect
relationships depending on the concepts and ideas involved. Below are
some examples.

Answer Lesson 2 “What I have learned” on the Activity Sheet

Awesome! You are now ready for more learning adventure.

Lesson Advanced Organizers – Timeline

Welcome! You are set to explore another lesson on textual aids. You will find
LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 10 14
out more as you continue this learning journey.
At the end of this lesson you are expected to:
a. determine the effects of textual aids like timeline in understanding a text;

b. illustrate concepts and ideas from a text using textual aids; and
c. appreciate the importance of the textual aids in understanding a text

What’s In
In the previous lesson, you have learned about graphic organizers like Venn
Diagram for comparison and contrast and Cause and Effect Diagram to
clearly illustrate cause and effect relationships. For sure, you are now
beginning to appreciate the use of these textual aids in understanding a
text.
You have learned the following points:
✔ A Venn Diagram
❖ helps the reader make a comparison and contrast
about two or more things or ideas.
❖ illustrate relationships between and among objects
that share something in common.
✔ Cause and Effect Diagram, on the other hand, will help you
illustrate the relationship on why something happens or visually explains
the effect of something.
What is a Timeline?
A timeline is a type of graphic organizer that shows specific events
in sequence, usually with dates, in a linear fashion.
Timelines are particularly useful for studying or reviewing history,
because the timeline will display major events over a period of time.
Timeline also helps you:
✔ Put events in chronological order
✔ Show progress or change
✔ Chronicle historical events
The following are sample illustrations of a timeline graphic organizer:
