PRIVATE EDUCATION ASSISTANCE COMMITTEE

● Proper perspective for self-expression through media and judicious use of media and information in communication

4. Overview of the Lesson

The Introduction to Media Information and Literacy discusses the different key concepts, such as media, information, and technology literacies, their similarities and differences that have a
direct impact on the students’ understanding of how media and information affect communication and on how to use them responsibly.

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

Your learners will go through reading activities for them to be able to describe how media and information affect communication, identify the similarities and differences of the key terms in
media literacy, information literacy, and technology literacy, and discuss how media and information should be used responsibly.

You may use any Socialized Discussion Board using your LMS or any application (Padlet, Socrative, Flipgrid, etc.) to ensure active engagement. Otherwise, you may opt for written submission or
face-to-face group discussion.

You present the context where can apply their learning. Emphasize to the learners that they will develop the proper perspective for self-expression through media and the judicious use of media
and information in communication. In the long run, this will also facilitate their accomplishment of the Preparatory Assessment Activity (PAA), which is the Concept Proposal.

For the learners to fully grasp the content of the essay, you may have a brief review on communication by accessing this link: www.skillsyouneed.com/ips/what-is-communication.html. Then,
then proceed with the reading of the essay. After that, you can post the formative question to find out what the learners have taken from the topic.

CHUNK 1: How media and information affect communication

Formative question
What is the role of media and information in communication?

You may remind the students that MIL aims to develop students to be creative and critical thinkers as well as responsible users and competent producers of media and information. Emphasize
that for them to identify these skills, they will have to read the next essay.

CHUNK 2: Media, Information, Technology and Media, and Information Literacies

Formative question
PRIVATE EDUCATION ASSISTANCE COMMITTEE
What are the similarities and differences between media literacy, information literacy, and technology literacy?

Since the learners have a clear understanding of the similarities and differences between these terms: media literacy, information literacy, and technology literacy from the expository essay
above. To illustrate their understanding, let them do this simple exercise (Worksheet on Comparison of Media, Information and Technology Literacy)
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES: MEDIA LITERACY, INFORMATION LITERACY, AND TECHNOLOGY LITERACY

Similarities Differences
Media Literacy
Information Literacy
Technology Literacy

To further deepen their understanding as media and information users or even producers, let them read the last essay.

Chunk 3: Responsible Use of Media and Information

Formative question
What specific action do you do to show that you are a responsible user of media and information?

Underscore that one way to be a responsible media user is to be able to evaluate the information sources. Then guide them on how to do that using this checklist:

EVALUATING INFORMATION SOURCES CHECKLIST

YES NO
AUTHORITY
Who is the author(s) and what is their source of authority (e.g., what is
their academic specialism or professional experience)?

Has a systematic and rigorous process been carried out? (e.g., are
references all traceable, is evidence discussed and thoroughly analyzed).

Has the information been peer-reviewed or gone through an editing

process?
PRIVATE EDUCATION ASSISTANCE COMMITTEE
(Normally all academic journals include a process of peer-review. You can
usually find out what the process is from the journal’s website. Also,
academic publishers, e.g., Palgrave, Routledge, Methuen, Ashgate, Sage,
Cambridge University Press, and other University Press publishers, also
use peer review before a book is published).
TIMELINESS
Can you tell when the information was created or last updated? (Does it
matter for your piece of work?)

If it is a website, does it look like it is being maintained?

If it is a website, do the links work?

SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
Does the author provide evidence to support his ideas, views, and
conclusions? What kind of ‘evidence’ is being used? Is there any data or
statistics provided? Has the author undertaken any original research? Is
the information too basic or too advanced for your needs?

Are there accurate references to other sources that you can follow up on?
Is the emphasis of the topic appropriate for your needs? Does the
information relate to countries/groups etc. you are interested in?

If it is online are there links out to other sources?

RELEVANCE
Is the information too basic or too advanced for your needs? Are there
accurate references to other sources that you can follow up on?

Is the emphasis of the topic appropriate for your needs?

Does the information relate to countries/groups etc. you are interested

in?
WHAT’S YOUR JUDGEMENT?
Taking your evaluation into consideration, would you feel confident using
this information as part of or in support of your research? Why/why not?

Synthesis

Effective communication can take place best with the use of appropriate media and information. Since communication is a human need, it is expected that he/she develops certain abilities or
literacies: media, information, and technology. With these literacies, he/she definitely uses media and information consciously and responsibly. This leads to him/her to communicate with ease
and confidence specifically in written form such as writing an expository essay.

RUA of a Student’s Learning:

Expository Essay

Let the learners access the link on how to write the expository essay: www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-write-an-expository-essay#quiz-0. You may direct them to a simplified version.
docs.google.com/document/d/1_nUXQz1pPVWLztn8-Wbw2yagDQ5azePwcWDWIin-AfI/edit#heading=h.8zcjthibbnz

Let the learners do Informal Writing so that they can lay down their ideas before they finalize and submit their expository essays. You may let them use a graphic organizer like this:

Post-lesson Remediation Activity:

● additional reading materials

● group discussion (sharing their understanding of the topic)

In the expository essay, the learners are expected to have a full grasp of the key terms in media and information and an understanding of how media and information affect communication and
how media and information should be used responsibly. If these are not met by the learners, you can provide them with additional reading materials. You may also arrange for a group
discussion.
