 Introductory Message
Welcome to English Grade 5!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Bacolod City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults)
in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The English Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal
or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made available
to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The English Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even
if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and
engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read
and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Meaning of Text

I. Learning Competency with Code

Analyze how visual and multimedia elements contribute to the meaning of a text
EN5VC-IVd-1.7.1
II. Background Information for Learners

Definition

There are different elements that make text come alive and contribute to the reader's
understanding. Visual elements are included in the text to help the reader 'see' what he or she
is reading. These include:

• Pictures
• Drawings
• Comics and cartoons
• Diagrams

Multimedia elements combine more than one type of medium, typically in digital form,
such as computers, audio players, tablets, smartphones, and other forms of technology. These
elements help the reader use sight, sound, and sometimes even other senses to experience what
he or she reads. Examples of multimedia elements include:

• Video
• Audio recordings and sound effects
• Interactive images (images that let the reader click on certain images or words to learn
more information about them, including how the word sounds, its definition, and important
facts.)

Clarifying Meaning
Visual and multimedia elements can help the reader clarify meaning while reading in many
ways. Visuals or interactive images help him or her understand the vocabulary being used in the
text. For example, if he or she doesn’t know what a flutterby is, through a picture it will give him
or her an idea that it is a butterfly.
Visuals or video presentations of a text can clarify what a character is feeling or thinking
through his or her facial expression and body language. Additionally, these elements can help
the reader understand the order of events in a text, or what an event may look like when it
happens.

 Flutterby
By: Ma. Catherine A. Omori

I haven't seen my friends and playmates for quite some time now, and I can't help
missing them. It seems like I'm quarantined for a year when COVID-19 pandemic hit
globally. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to go outside and do the usual things a fifth-grader
like me usually do. Things have changed a lot.

The once cheerful laughter was unheard. Smiling faces were hidden behind the masks.
The warm hug, pat, and handshake were unfelt. Neighbors became strangers. Even the
voice of Mang Tomas, a taho vendor, was seldom heard. The screeching, squealing, loud
clicking, hissing and ticking or metallic tapping noises coming from the engine of vehicles
were gradually “shut off”.

In a snap of a finger, the once busy and noisy neighborhood became an empty and
lonely place to stay and explore.

"Inday!" My musing by the window was cut off when I overheard my palayaw
(nickname).

"Look what I’ve got!" My big brother, holding a small box, excitedly said as he headed
towards me.

It's Manong Toto, my one and only brother. He is a tenth grader in Junior High.

"Oh. Can I see what's inside Manong?" I quipped with excitement as my eyes are
glued on the small box that he is holding. "Please?" With hands clasped and enticing eyes,
I uttered hesitantly trying to convince Manong.

"Please Manong.” I insisted.

"I'm sorry Inday but you can't." Manong Toto firmly remarked.

“Let me see it for ten seconds only." I confidently told Manong trying to change his
mind.

"Okay then, let's make a deal. I will let you see what's inside if you're done with your
learning activity sheets," Manong Toto continued.

"But - " I abruptly said.

"No more buts. If you don't want me to get mad, don't you dare touch nor open the box,
okay?" My big brother firmly expressed as he placed the box on the side table and hurriedly
left.

Yet, Manong Toto's words didn't stop my curiosity in finding out what's inside the box.
I slowly opened the cover of the box and in an instant, something has flown out of the box,
flapping its eye-catching delicate multi-toned wings over my head, and finally towards the
window.

Startled, I heard approaching heavy footsteps. It was too late for me to hide or even
wish to disappear. Manong, rushing back to the room, looked disgusted upon seeing an
empty box.

 Activity 2.2: Inside the mystery box are questions for you to answer. Write your answer on your
paper. (10 points)

1. When and where did the story take place? How

did the author describe the time and place?

2. What could you see, feel, hear, smell, as you

read? Did the image of a butterfly help you
understand the title and the text itself?

3. What made Inday decide to open the box?

Would you do the same thing? Why/Why
not?

4. If you were Manong Toto, how would

you feel and react after learning that
Inday opened the box?
5. What have you learned from the text,
Flutterby?

Activity 2.3: Draw a butterfly on your paper. From the text, list down five visual elements on the
left wing and five multimedia elements on the right wing. (10 points)
