Gaining Mastery

Textual Aids are written texts, prints, titles, graphs, or even pictures
used to provide a message. Usually, these words are bolded, highlighted,
italicized. Also, even graphic organizers, charts, diagrams, tables and maps
are examples of textual aids. They are used to easily express instant
messages and immediately build comprehension to a story, subject, or a
topic. It gives hint on what to focus on.

Let us study the examples below:

1. Diagram – May use to show comparison between two or more objects,

phenomena or groups of data.

2. Graph - A picture designed to express words, particularly the connection

between two or more quantities.

3. Concept Map- These are visual representations students create to connect

ideas, concepts, and terms. Students can use them to organize information
they already know and to incorporate new learning with this prior
knowledge. Concept maps help you see how students understand content.
DIRECTION 1: Here is an example of an annoucement from PHILHEALTH.
The box below is an example of a textual aid that simplifies and conveys the
message. Read and analyze the given examples before heading to the next
acitivity.

Example:

Philhealth will reimburse in full all COVID-19 patients admitted between February 1
and April 12, 2020 and who paid their hospital bills. Starting April 15, 2020 onwards, all
COVID-19 admissions will be covered using a new case rate benefit package.

All COVID-19 PATIENTS WHO PAID HOSPITAL

BILLS WILL BE REIMBERSED IN FULL!
 For patients admitted between February 1 and April
12, 2020.

 Starting April 15, 2020 all COVID admitted patients

will be covered as well.
-PHILHEALTH

DIRECTION 2: Read the short passage by UNICEF. You may read it

aloud or silently as you wish. Create a textual aid that reflects this message.
You may use any forms of textual aids that can best express the message of
the passge by UNICEF.You may use cut out pictures to help you better
support your work.

Constant updates on the news, social media and chat groups can be
overwhelming for all of us, but especially children and young people. With
school closures and cancelled events due to #COVID19, many are missing
out on some of the biggest moments of their young lives — as well as
everyday moments like chatting with friends and participating in class.
It’s on us to give them a hand. Talk about the hard things, offer support
and remind them it’s okay not be okay.
