4.Overview of the Lesson

Media and Information Languages explores how media, and the audience is effectively bridged and how the

Student's Experiential Learning: (Note: Use the Flexible Learning Activity Identified for the topic/lesson relative to
the General Enabling Teaching Strategy).

CHUNK 1: Media Codes and Conventions

Formative Question
What are codes and conventions?

The teacher may deliver this topic using pictures that will help the learners interpret it and with the use also of
guide questions that promote active learning.

The following are the guide questions that the teacher may give to the learners:
1.How are symbols usually being presented?
2.What is the importance of using symbols to convey a message or information?
3.How are these symbols presented in terms of fonts, images, colors, design and others?

At the end of the lesson the teacher may give an activity wherein the learners will discuss the different concepts
and examples using a mind map.

CHUNK 2: Media Messages

Formative Question
What specific messages do you typically acquire from the media?

This topic may be discussed with the aid of motive questions:

1.What form/s of media do you usually use?
2.Why do you use such form/s of media?
3.How do you perceive these messages?

The teacher will gather answers from the learners and execute the content of the topic by providing its definitions
and asking examples from the learners.
The teacher will facilitate an interactive discussion or group sharing that will state a report on an incident that was greatly
affected and triggered by the media. The learners have to indicate the factors wherein media became an integral part of
executing the incident. It may be local or international.

CHUNK 3: Media and the Audience and Media and the Producers/Stakeholders

Formative Question
How do you react to any form of media that you consume?

The discussion of this topic will revolve around this given scenario, and it will be facilitated through an online forum
(for the learners who have access to digital tools) and a persuasion map (for
the learners who do not have access to digital tools).

A local government official was charged with graft and corruption and was suspended from his office. The
government officially announced that the charges were all fabricated and that he would not step down from his
office. A large group of supporters is present to protest. They barricaded the building where the official had once
taken office. A struggle seems to start breaking out between the protesters and the police.

The learners will answer the following questions based on the given scenario:
1.Predict how this event will be covered by television, radio, print, and Internet?
2.How does the presentation of facts vary from medium to medium?
3.How do the codes and conventions vary from medium to medium?
4.How much of these differences will be based on the unique characteristics of the medium?

The teacher must facilitate discussion given the guide questions:

1.If you will be a reporter, are you going to use the conventional way of how each media will broadcast the
given scenario?
2.What will you do to not make your report boring? Elaborate on your answer.
3.Would you exaggerate some elements in your report to make it interesting? Why?
4.For the learners' activity they will form groups with five members and create their own media and
information presentation/poster about the latest trends in technology: (ex.,postcards, collages,
advertisements, infomercials, stories, etc.), and they will analyze how codes, conventions, and messages are
delivered in their presentation.

Synthesis
The discussion of media and information languages; codes, conventions, formats, symbols, and narrative
structures indicate the meaning of media messages to an audience that will critically
analyze media.

RUA of a Student's Learning:
