LESSON:
Viewing, Its Steps, and Importance
We are living in a visual world. The advent of the internet and the digital revolution,
the widespread availability of mobile devices that enables us to easily capture still and
moving images, the appearance of video-sharing sites such as YouTube, and the
proliferation of social media networks such as Instagram and Facebook with users
primarily uploading visual content, have all led to an unprecedented increase in the
number of people using the internet.
The majority of texts young people are encountering and creating are multimodal.
A multimodal document is one in which the meaning is conveyed by multiple modes,
such as written text, audio, still images, moving images, motion, use of space, and so
on. Photos, slideshows, and web sites are examples of digital multimodal texts, while
theater, storytelling, and dancing are examples of live multimodal texts.
Learning Task 4: Analyze the illustration, answer and write your answers below the guide
questions.
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. This man has all the modern gadgets, yet he is still lonely. Why do you think this is so?
2. What is the general truth in life depicted?

Most of the time, you are asked to read, write, speak, and listen in various lessons in
the classroom. But what about the fifth skill?
Viewing is defined as an active process of attending and comprehending visual

media, such as television, advertising images, films, diagrams, symbols, photographs,
videos, drama, drawings, sculpture, and paintings.
It is necessary to remember that the viewing process is just as crucial as the listening
and reading processes. You should be aware that effective, engaged viewers go
through the following steps:
1. Pre-viewing - You prepare to view by activating your schema (the prior

knowledge you bring to the study of a topic or theme), anticipating a message,
predicting, speculating, asking questions, and setting a purpose for viewing.
2. During viewing - You view the visual text to understand the message by seeking
and checking understanding, making connections, making and confirming
predictions and inferences, interpreting and summarizing, pausing and
reviewing, and analyzing and evaluating. Your understanding should be
monitored by connecting to your schema, questioning, and reflecting.
3. After viewing - You are given opportunities to respond to visual texts in an

intimate, critical, and creative way. You respond by reflecting, analyzing,
evaluating, and creating.
Performance Task 3: Study the picture. What could be the cause of these phenomena?
Write 3-5 sentences about it.

IMPORTANCE OF VIEWING

Performance Task 6: Read the poem “The Telephone” by Edward Field. Interpret the
message of the poem. Answer the guide questions that follows and
use the back page to write your answers.

STEPS IN VIEWING
In your previous discussion you learned about the fifth macro skill, viewing, as
well its importance and different stages. Whether the text is a piece of writing, an
advertisement, a painting, a performance, or a film, it can convey information.
Viewing is not only observed through the use of videos or slide shares. It could also be
achieved through a photo gallery. Photos convey stories to which we can connect to
what they are trying to impart to us.
For now, let us recall the three stages of viewing.
Learning Task 4: Read each statement carefully. Write T if the statement is correct and F if
wrong.
_______1. Viewing is one of the macro skills which refers to perceiving, examining,
interpreting, and constructing meaning from visual images.
_______2. Critical thinking is not developed during viewing activity.
_______3. Post-viewing gives you an opportunity to activate your prior knowledge.
_______4. Viewing helps one acquire information and ideas.
_______5. A piece of writing, an advertisement, a painting, a performance, or a film can
be used in viewing activity.

Learning Task 5: Analyze and arrange the pictures carefully and create YOUR OWN
VERSION of the story out of them. Write your answer on space provided.
Write your story here:
English 9: A Journey through Anglo American Literature p. 305
Learning Task 6: Read the text carefully and answer the questions that follow. Write your
answer below each questions.
Questions:
1. What does the text tell us about the character’s feeling towards the girl?
2. What can you conclude about the main character?

3. How does the character react when she sees the girl every morning?
4. In your opinion, what will happen if the boy sees the girl with another one?
Performance Task 7: Create a photo essay of your journey as a junior high school student.
Place your output on a separate short bond paper.
SAMPLE OF PHOTO ESSAY:

LESSON:
Fact, Opinion, Main Idea, and Supporting Details
In today’s society, we are often bombarded with a lot of information. Most of
these are helpful, but there are some which may seem to be misleading or even utterly
false. You should take into consideration the correct ways of analyzing or interpreting
ideas presented in any material, either viewed or read.
Fact Example: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered

coronavirus.
Opinion Example: For me, COVID-19 is enough to make anyone paranoid when in
public places.
Learning Task 7: Put a check mark (✓) if the statement is a fact and a cross mark (✗) if it is
not.
______1. In terms of deaths per million, we are at number 118 out of 219 countries with only
113 deaths per 1-million population.
______2. I think we are doing great, despite negative/alarmist news.
______3. Our country is still in a far better situation than others in this planet.

______4. According to the latest worldometer.com info website, we are number 129 out of
219 countries worldwide with only 5,376 total cases per our 1-million population.
______5. Malaysia has 36 deaths, Sri Lanka with 23 deaths, and Singapore at 5 deaths per
1 million.
Learning Task 8: Look closely at the expressions written on the leaves. Consider which are
useful terms or phrases in giving opinion. Select and rewrite all of the
possible answers on the space provided.
Write your answers here:
✓ Facts and opinions help us determine how true a statement is. Thus, in any kind of
article, facts and opinions can be used in developing the paragraph to add details on
the main point.
Another way of understanding an article is through identifying its main idea

and important details about it. It shows the relationship of the ideas to the theme or main
point of an article.
Main idea is the most important thought about the topic. The topic is the
person, place, thing, or idea being written about.
Supporting details can be defined as additional information that explain,

define, or prove an idea.
Example: Lenny is an excellent student. She is intelligent. She is responsible. Lenny always
does her homework, and she is never late for class. As a result of her hard work,
Lenny is one of the best students in school.

✓ If there is a strong relationship between your main point and details, then facts and
opinions injected are relevant in developing the paragraph.
Learning Task 9: Read the excerpt below from an inspirational speech delivered by a
successful person to students on the topic: “Knowledge is wisdom and
wisdom is wealth.” Then, answer the questions that follow. Write the letter
of the correct answer.
______1. Which sentence best expresses the main point of the speaker?
A. 3 B. 5 C. 9 D. 11
______2. Which sentence best supports the main point?

A. 5 B. 8 C. 9 D. 10
______3. What is the most important thing according to the speaker?

A. Improving your knowledge of yourself B. Knowing everything
C. Sharing ideas with others D. Sharing wealth
______4. Which sentence is more of a statement of fact rather than an opinion?

A. 2 B. 4 C. 5 D. 7
______5. What expression signals opinion?

A. equally B. eventually C. I believe D. the fact that

Performance Task 8: Look for a reading material you have at home. Choose an article to
read. Fill in the graphic organizers with the main idea, supporting details, facts, and
opinions you found in your chosen article. Use separate short bond paper for your output.
LESSON:
Active and Passive Listening
This lesson is divided

into three parts. The first
part will help you interpret
the information in a
material you listened to.
Listening is very important
in our everyday living since it is when we listen that we are able to give feedback or
respond accordingly.
There are two types of
listening: passive and
active.

Read the two conversations below. Which dialogue will you most likely believe?
In order to interpret, you must know first what it means and familiarize yourself on
how you can do it. When you interpret, you should be able to explain or convey the
message of a certain topic to show that you understand it. You must be an
active/attentive listener to do it. This means that you listen not merely to hear what
someone says, but to understand what he or she is talking about. You can do so if you
have enough vocabulary, if you have the memory to recall your experiences and relate it
to the idea/concept that you are listening to, and if you concentrate on the material you
are listening to.
In the two conversations above, you will probably believe in conversation A more
than B since in your vocabulary, a doctor is someone who is an expert in his/her field. On
the other hand, you may believe in conversation B if you recall an experience in your life
that you were once healed by an “albularyo.” But when it comes to validity, what you
listened to from the doctor is more reliable than the other one since he/she can explain to
the mother what the situation of her daughter is and what to do to make her feel better.
Nevertheless, it all depends on the three variables previously discussed on how you will
interpret information, so you better be an active listener to not miss any point from
someone or any material you are listening to.
Learning Task 9: Read the following statements. On your pad paper, write AL if the
situation pertains to active listening and PL if it shows passive listening.
____1. Listening to news on the radio

____2. Listening to music on your way to school
____3. Talking to your siblings about your dream
____4. Watching TV while answering the module
____5. Classroom meetings where you have active tasks and duties
____6. When your little siblings are playing while you are in your room

____7. When your loved one has a serious topic, he/she would like to talk about with
you.
____8. Listening to the homily while you are passing by the church to go somewhere
____9. Talking to your parent as you tell them about some sort of battles you are
facing.
____10. Listening to a nice friend share with you his/her latest encounters and
sharing your ideas and feelings in return.
Learning Task 10: Here is a transcript of a radio play entitled “Sorry, Wrong Number” by
Lucille Fletche that can be found on pp. 240-241 of your Learning Module (Anglo-
American Literature).
If you have a gadget and internet connection, you may find its audio file online and listen
to it from 1:07 to 3:27.
Figure out words in the play by arranging the underlined jumbled letters in the text. Write
your answers on pad paper.

LESSON:
Faulty Logic, Unsupported Facts, and Emotional Appeal
Questions to think about:

1. In which statement or claim are you most convinced?
2. What makes the statement convincing? If not, what’s wrong with it?
3. Study the given concepts below then decide which among the three
statements falls under each.
FALLACY is faulty reasoning; misleading or unsound argument (Oxford Languages)
A. Faulty logic is a kind of persuasive technique used when making statements with
imperfect reasoning or in the absence of sound judgment.
B. Unsupported fact is not upheld by evidence or facts making the claim unsubstantiated
or unconfirmed.
C. Emotional appeal is a method of persuasion appealing to both the brain and the heart,
primarily tending to obtain an emotional reaction.

A fallacy is the use of invalid or faulty reasoning in the construction of an argument.

By appearing to be better than it really is, a fallacious argument may be misleading.
Fallacies may be committed intentionally or unintentionally to manipulate or persuade by
deception.
Learning Task 11: Let us test your critical thinking skill in determining the worth of ideas.
Read the following statements. On the table below, check the box opposite to each
statement to identify whether it is faulty logic, unsupported facts, or emotional appeal.

that other kids won‘t have to go through what I am going through.”
LESSON:
Validity and Reliability of Sources
Digital era has given way to rapid explosion of information in different
media and platforms as it travels as fast as speed of light. As you are confronted to rely
your data based on the materials that you’ve read or listened to, it is an integral task to
filter or judge the truthfulness of the material as the online world is infested with millions of
fake news/data.
The following learning tasks will help you evaluate critically the validity of a certain
text based on established parameters.

As technology has become commercialized and everyone can create and upload
various information on the internet, validity and reliability of those can be compromised
and misleading.
Here are some points that we should take into consideration to check the validity
and reliability of information:
Who is the author of the source? This question points out the credentials of the author. Is
he or she a recognized expert in the field? Are they representing an organization? If so,
what is the organization's mission and goals? If you're still unsure, try browsing the internet
on the author or the organization he or she belongs.
How did the source get its information? This question refers to references used in the
source. Look at a few of the references. Do they look like reliable sources of information?
Does it look like the author is citing the source correctly? Use your best judgment in
validating.
What if the source you've found doesn't have references? This question pertains to
further checking the validity of the source. See if you can fact check the information in
other ways. For instance, if you're looking at a news article that quotes experts in a field,
browse the internet on the expert's name and see what other information you can find on
him or her.

Learning Task 14: Below are taken from an article. Underline the parts which make the
statement valid or reliable.
1. The video cited the Department of Public Works and Highways' (DPWH) statement that
the bridge was the only way to fix the road, which was prone to collapsing due to soft
soil underneath as well as a creek or waterway in the lower part of the soil.
2. DPWH District Engineer of Southern Leyte Ma. Margarita Junia told Rappler that a
section of the Bato-Bontoc road had already collapsed about 3 times due to the soil
underneath that would dissolve during heavy rains. Thus, they resorted to building a
bridge.
3. The GMA report also featured a resident who attested to the way the road would keep
collapsing.
4. Rappler also fact-checked supposed photos of the San Benedicto Bridge in Surigao,
which turned out to be photos of structures located in other countries
Performance Task 11: Watch/Listen carefully to a news report and list down the details
that you have heard from it. After listening, answer the following questions:
1. What is the news all about?

2. Are all the information given by the reporter supported by valid sources? Support
your answer.
3. Cite some statements given by the reporter which are supported by valid sources.
Learning Task 15: Directions: Read the following statements about the validity and
reliability of source. Write “T” if it is true and “F” if otherwise.
____1. A source that is biased is always unreliable and should be avoided.

____2. A book author must cite studies or other sources to be considered valid and reliable.
____3. Reliable newspaper and magazine articles don’t have bibliographies; therefore,
they don’t have to cite sources to prove their claims.
____4. Academic journals are not particular about the credentials of the authors they
publish.
____5. Information/Post that is viral is always valid and reliable.
____6. Famous social media personality is always a good source of reliable and valid
information.
____7. The information is unreliable without source.
____8. A source that is good is valid.
____9. Audience is for whom the author intended the paper to be read or viewed.
____10. Counter checking the credentials of the author/source in the
internet is important to verify the reliability of the information.
