 Lesson

Hello friend! I am Yoan, your new buddy and

guide in this lesson in English 6 Module.
Today, you will learn the different definitions
of information and create advertisement using Wh-
questions.
Are you ready? Let us discuss things related to
our lessons for today.

What’s In

During our previous lesson, we discussed about propaganda. You

publicize a point of view or a cause.

Below is an example of a propaganda in a form of a poster.

1. Write the information being conveyed in the propaganda.

2. Are they useful to you? In what way?

 What’s New

Directions: Using a concept map, define INFORMATION. Write down words or

phrases inside the oval that come to your mind when you come across with
the word, INFORMATION.

INFORMATION

What Is It

Information is a data that is accurate and timely,

specific and organized for a purpose, presented within a
context that gives it meaning and relevance, and can lead
to an increase in understanding and decrease in
uncertainty. Information is valuable because it can affect
behavior, a decision, or an outcome.
Information has several characteristics. Good
Information is relevant for its purpose, sufficiently
accurate for its purpose, completely enough for the
problem, reliable and targeted to the right person. It is also
communicated in time for its purpose, contains the right
level of detail and is communicated by an appropriate
channel.

Based on your answers on the concept map, answer the following questions:
1. What words did you associate with the word information?
2. Based on your answers on the concept map, how would you define
information?

What’s More

Look at the poster below. It contains information about physical

distancing. Read it carefully, then, write all the information gathered about
physical distancing.

To do physical distancing we need to:

2. Is the information on the poster accurate and timely?

3. Are they specific and organized?

4. Is the poster presented within the context that gives meaning and
relevance?

What I Have Learned

sentences.

For me, information is

 What I Can Do

While Justine was browsing through her social media account, she had
read a posted article by her friend about a positive case of COVID-19 existing
in their province. Upon checking the data in the COVID-19 Tracker System
by the World Health Organization (WHO), data showed that there are still no
cases of COVID-19 in their locality.

If you were Justine, how will you react to

the similar information that you come across in
social media? Will you immediately believe in
the information you read? Why or Why not?
