CHAPTER 2
Globalization and Cultural and Multicultural Literacies
Evaluate:
Read the questions and instructions carefully. Write your answers

in the space provided.
1. Describe globalization to a peer.

Answer:
Globalization is the word used to describe the growing
interdependence of the world's economies, cultures, and
populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods
and services, technology, and flows of investment, people,
and information.
2. Explain to a peer what multicultural literacy is.
Answer:
Multicultural literacy is the ability to understand and
appreciate the parallels and differences between customs,
values, and beliefs of your culture and a different culture.
3. What skills and knowledge do you need to improve in order to
become a multiculturally literate?
Answer:
The skills that I need to improve in order to become a
multiculturally literate are:
 Cross Cultural Communication -- Verbal and nonverbal
communication skills in interaction with those who are
culturally different from one's self.
 Teamwork -- The ability to work in culturally diverse
groups toward a common goal.
 Listening -- The intention and ability to attend to
what others are saying.
 Conflict Resolution -- The ability to resolve cultural
conflicts that occur between individuals and groups.
 Critical Thinking -- The ability to use inductive and
deductive reasoning to understand diverse perspectives.
 Language Development -- The ability to speak and write
more than one language.
 Leadership Development -- The ability to provide
multicultural leadership.
Activity 2
Read the questions carefully and write your answers in the space
provided.
1. What makes a person Filipino? If a person has Filipino

parents but is born in another country, is he/she still a
Filipino? What about if a person with foreign parents is
born and raised in the Philippines, is he/she Filipino?
Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
A person is a Filipino due to its traditions, customs,
beliefs and norms that is being introduced to him/her
right from the very beginning of life. A person makes
himself a Filipino because of its nationality and its

literature. Yes, if a person has Filipino parents he is

still considered as a Filipino because the blood of being
a Filipino lie within his veins. On the last question, a
person can only be a Filipino if he would stay in the
Philippines and be naturalized by the law for staying at
this country for a required period of years.

CHAPTER 3
Social Literacy
Evaluate:
Read the question and instruction carefully. Write your answers
1. How do computer technology and social media affect your

social skills and that of your peers? Cite positive and
negative impacts of digital technology to communication.
Answer:
The impact of technology and social media on my social
skills and my peer's social skills can be different
depending on how we use them.
For me personally, the existence of technology and
social media helps me with my social skills. I follow a lot
of accounts that share talking tips and also often
communicate with my friend through social media so it's not
too difficult for me to socialize in the real world.
But some of my friends said that they have difficulty
socializing in person because they usually use social media
to view the content they like and don't really use it to
socialize with others, so in real life they get confused
because they spend a lot of time on social media.
The positive impact of digital technology on communication:
 Digital technology gives us unlimited access to

interact with people from all over the world and
enables the exchange of information
 Digital technology makes it easy and speeds up the
process of sending messages
 Digital technology makes it easier for group activities
that require a communication process and exchange of
information at a fast time
 Dissemination of important information becomes easier
The negative impact of digital technology on communication

 Digital technology can make direct interactions between
people decrease because the media communicate online
 Digital technology makes the spread of false
information to the public becomes faster
 Lack of parental control over the use of digital
technology in children can make children access
negative content that can affect the child's language
style to be impolite.
Activity 3
1. Make a list of Do’s and Don'ts in the school and the workplace
in relation to literacy. Present it creatively through an
infographic in long size bond paper.


CHAPTER 4
Financial Literacy
Evaluate:
Read the following questions and instructions carefully. Write

your answer on the space and table provided.
1. Differentiate among the following financial goals: short-

term, medium term, and long-term financial goals. Give
examples for each.
Answer:
Goals Definition Examples
Short-term Takes less than 3 Build up an

months to achieve. emergency fund
and start a small
side hustle.
Medium-term Takes 3 to 12 months Pay-off all you

to achieve. credit card debt
and start
investing 20% of
your home.
Long-term Takes more than 12 Earn enough from

months to achieve. you side hustle
to cover all your
expenses.
2. There are six major characteristics in how people view

money. Which characteristic closely resembles your attitude
about money. Explain your answer.
Answer:
The six major characteristic types in how people view
Money are Frugal, Pleasure, Success, Indifference, Powerful
and Self-worth.
 Frugal: Frugal people seek financial security by living
below their means and saving money. Frugal people
rarely buy luxury items and some even have a hard time
buying necessities. They save money because they
believe money will offer protection from life’s
uncertainties; money makes them feel more secure.
 Pleasure: Pleasure seekers use money to bring pleasure

to themselves and others. This money profile is more
likely to spend than to save. Pleasure seekers often
live beyond their means by spending more than they
make. Pleasure seekers can find themselves in deep debt
if they are not careful.

 Status: Some people use money to express their social

status. Having the best and buying popular brand names
are important to people in this profile. Status
spenders like to “show off” their purchases.
 Indifference: People who treat money with indifference
tend to place very little importance on having money.
Having money makes them nervous. They would rather
spend time and resources being independent by growing
their own food or making their own clothes. They are
hobby-oriented and involved with arts and crafts.
 Powerful: Some people use money to express their power.
This profile may also use money to control other
people, including their spouses, children and friends.
 Self-Worth: People who spend money for self-worth tend
to judge their own worth by how much money they have.
They believe that people only judge them based on the
amount of money they have. They value how much they
have accumulated.
Activity 4

Answer:

CHAPTER 5
Media and Cyber or Digital Literacies
Evaluate:
Use the following questions to evaluate your understanding of the

concepts, principles, and ideas in the chapter. Write your
answers in the space provided.
1. Explain how Media Literacy and Digital Literacy

Answer:
Media and information literacy provide the backbone to
understanding media and the role of media in our society.
MIL also provides some of the essential skills necessary for
critical thinking, analysis, self-expression and creativity
– all necessary skills for citizens in a democratic society.
2. Explain how critical thinking is important to both Media and
Digital Literacy?
Answer:
Children and teens need to develop critical thinking
skills in order to get the best use out of digital
technologies. Teaching them to ask questions and to remain
skeptical will help them to navigate the wealth of
information that is available to them online.
Activity 5:
Watch any Reality Talk Show new and foreign to you. Create an
outline or a mind-map of the speaker’s lecture, using only what
you were able to understand from the video. Then ask yourself the
following questions:
1. How many times did I have to watch the video? If you had to
view it more than once, why?
Answer:
I have to watch the video twice for a clearer
understanding.

2. Can I summarize the speaker’s lecture in a paragraph of

written text? Why or why not?
Answer:
I think I can somehow summarize the speaker’s lecture
but not completely it’s because I only watch it twice there
are still missing terms and ideas that I cant fully remember
well.
3. At any point in the lecture, did the speaker say anything
that made me doubt the trustworthiness of what he/she said?
Answer:
No, it didn’t happen as I watched the lecture.
4. If I had difficulties in extracting information from the
speaker’s lecture, what are the chances of students doing
the same thing? Does this exercise change how I will
evaluate the suitability of online content for my classes?
Answer:
Yes, it will definitely change my teaching skills in
suitability of online content to my future student.

CHAPTER 6
Ecological Literacy
Evaluate:

1. Develop a personal definition of sustainability.
Answer:
Sustainability consists of fulfilling the needs of
current generations without compromising the needs of future
generations, while ensuring a balance between economic
growth, environmental care and social well-being.
2. What are greening initiatives done by your department or
college?
Answer:
In this recent time, the college encourages us to
recycle materials to be used as our decorations for the
preparations in our Christmas party. Also, the department
installs trash bins around the campus to prevent the
littering of wastes. Where they encourage us to practice
proper wastes disposal and segregation.
3. What personal greening initiatives would you propose to your
own campus, community, and home?
Answer:
I would suggest these following activities:
 Upgrade to LED Lighting. Upgrading to LED bulbs, both
inside and out will provide substantial benefits for
your association
 Hold a Recycling Event
 Go Paperless
 Rethink Your Landscaping
 Plant Trees
 Install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
 Plant a Community Garden

CHAPTER 7
Artistic and Creative Literacy
Evaluate:

on the space provided.
1. How should arts learning be structured so that students

can begin to think like an artist?
Answer:
Arts learning should be encouraged, not structured.
Children need to maintain their natural creativity and
critical thinking and problem solving should be
encouraged. Do not over rely on rote learning and
teaching to the test.
One can teach the basic theories of drawing and color
theory but let the child chose the subject matter for
instance. Have paper, pencils, crayons, clay, legos,
colorful bendy wire, etc readily available for your child
at home. Interesting junk can make collage type
sculptures-look up Joseph Cornell. We would cut out
magazine photos and paste them on paper along with
drawings and make our own story books, writing the text
however we interpreted the pictures to be.
Trips to museums are great, but also the child should
be exposed to outsider art, theater and other cultural
events.
Originality is valued and the arts world may be very
different when the child is grown. In my case it was the
development of digital art and video. I wasn’t trained in
these as a child but having problem solving skills
allowed me to learn them as a young adult. I learned
computer graphics in Japanese on a Japanese computer even
though it was not my first language.
2. What are some best practices in teaching that create an
active or student-centered learning environment?
Answer:
What does an effective classroom look like? It is no
secret that there have been some recent shifts in
education, with one of the biggest involving the move
from a teacher-centered classroom to a student-centered
classroom. This means that instead of lessons including
mostly lectures, reading from textbooks and working
silently on worksheets, lessons come alive with
collaboration, discussions, hands-on experiences and the
exploration of big ideas. If teachers want students to
effectively communicate, collaborate, think critically
and express creativity, this shift is a great first step.
Yet for some teachers, the shift to student-centered
learning can seem like a daunting task, but if one views
creating a student-centered classroom as making small
changes over time, the shift to seeing increased student
engagement and achievement doesn’t seem as overwhelming.
This type of teaching and learning is more natural than
some might think. Implement the following four strategies
to move your classroom from teacher-centered to more

student-centered and watch your students soar to new

levels.
1. Stop Being the Expert
While teachers must know the content well in order to
teach it, they do not always need to act like the expert.
For example, a teacher utilizing the student-centered
approach might stop answering all of the students’
questions and doing things for students that they could
do or figure out for themselves. Although it can be
easier to tell students the answers or do a task for them
to save time, it isn’t always what’s best for them. The
goal is for students to learn and grow, and since self-
discovery is a large part of that process, try prompting
and guiding them rather than telling them.
2. Let Students Explore
Traditional lessons include introducing a topic,
lecturing about it and asking students to complete a
worksheet or activity to show they learned what was
taught. Instead, teachers can make lessons come alive by
introducing the topic and having students explore it
through a hands-on task, problem-solving activity or any
other collaborative project where students explore, think
and communicate with their classmates.
Once the activity is done, have students share their
ideas, answers and processes; facilitate a class
discussion through questioning. During this discussion,
the teacher should also help students connect the dots to
the big idea of the lesson. Perhaps this involves using
visuals and some interactive lecturing. The key here is
that the teacher’s input comes after the students have a
chance to explore, think and discuss their ideas. This is
a powerful way to help the content stick. One poignant
saying said it best: “Teaching is telling; told isn’t
taught.”
3. Plan Strategic Questions
Planning strategic questions prior to lessons can be a
game-changer. As mentioned previously, teachers do not
have to give students as much information as traditional
lessons often encourage. Instead, teachers should try
prompting and guiding students to self-discovery through
strategic questions. One of the best ways to plan
strategic questions that help students move towards
mastery of the lesson objective is to identify
misconceptions they might have related to the objective.
From there, develop questions that help students think
through those misconceptions and move past them. This is
empowering for students and helps develop their self-
esteem since they are able to navigate challenges
themselves, rather than being told the answers or
remaining stuck.
For example, when teaching a math lesson about adding
and subtracting fractions with like denominators, it is
common for students to have a misconception about which
numbers to add or subtract, often adding the numerators
and adding the denominators. To help students work
through this, the teacher can add context to the
fractions and ask questions like, “What does the

numerator represent?” and “What does the denominator

represent?”
Once students can explain that the numerator represents
a part of a whole and the denominator represents the
whole, they can begin to understand through even more
prompting and questioning that the denominator needs to
be the same in order to do the computation. Instead of
the teacher telling students to memorize a formula or
telling them how to do the problem, they can empower
students through questioning to create a more student-
centered learning environment.
4. Use Cooperative Learning Structures
What better way to engage students in the important
21st century skills emphasized in a student-centered
classroom than to use cooperative learning structures? By
using structures like Think-Pair-Share, Quiz-Quiz-Trade,
Round Robin and Numbered Heads Together, groups of
students are able to develop all of these skills while
engaging in the lesson content. The structured component
of this teaching strategy allows all students to
participate in non-threatening ways and encourages them
to stay on task. Overall, cooperative learning structures
are an effective way to get students thinking and talking
more.
By implementing these strategies, you will empower the
students to effectively engage in learning experiences
that will eventually enable them to be productive and
contributing members of their communities in the 21st
century.
3. Why are 21st century skills or personal dispositions
important goals for students in arts education?
Answer:
21st-century skills are those students need to navigate
an ever-changing, global society. Many schools districts
are asking teachers to use these skills in their
curriculum. The good news for art teachers is that we
teach a unique subject where students can creatively
apply what they have learned in other classes.

CHAPTER 8
Critical Literacy
Evaluate:
Read the instructions carefully. Do what is asked. Write your

answers in the space provided.
1. List down the skills related to critical literacy.
Answer:
Critical literacy is a central thinking skill that a

tertiary education seeks to develop in students. It involves
the questioning and examination of ideas, and requires you
to synthesize, analyze, interpret, evaluate and respond to
the texts you read or listen to.
2. Choose one text from each category that particularly appeals

to you, either because of its style or its content, and
discuss.
Answer:
I choose books because it’s a written or printed work

consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side
and bound in covers. It is more accurate than on the website
that the answer is editable.
