THE FIVE MAIN ELEMENTS OF MULTIMEDIA

TEXT
Text is the basic element of multimedia. It involves the use of text types, sizes, colors and background color. In a
multimedia application, other media or screen can be linked through the use of text. This is what you call Hypertext. To
produce an effective multimedia program there are three things that need to be considered. They are:
*The position of the text on the screen.
*Length of the message
*And legibility of the text.

GRAPHIC
Graphics make the multimedia application attractive. They help to illustrate ideas through still pictures.
There are two types of graphics used: bitmaps (paint graphics) and vector (draw graphics).

AUDIO
A multimedia application may require the use of speech, music and sound effects. These are called audio or the
sound element. There are two basic types of audio or sound: analog and digital audio.

VIDEO
Video provides a powerful impact in a multimedia program. In multimedia applications, the digital video is gaining
popularity because of the following reasons:
Video clips can be edited easily. The digital video files can be stored like any other files in the computer and the quality of
the video can still be maintained. The video files can be transferred within a computer network it allows non-linear
editing in any part of the video. However, these digital video files are large in size. Transferring these files can take a
long time especially when using the Internet.

ANIMATION
Animation is a process of making a static image look like it is moving. In multimedia, digital animation is used. Digital
animation can be categorised into two broad area: 2D (2 Dimension) and 3D (3 Dimension) animations.

Remember

 A complex sentence is composed of one independent clause and one or two dependent
clauses.

 An independent clause is a simple sentence by itself. It gives a complete meaning. It can stand
alone.

 A dependent clause does not give a complete thought. It cannot stand alone. It depends on an
independent clause to complete its meaning.

 Tooth Fairy
Jenny snuggled under for blanket with her eyes wide open.

“I will stay awake. Oh, I want to see the fairy,” she muttered sleepily.

That afternoon in school, her milk tooth had wiggled and turned for the last time. It fell on a page of the book that
Jenny was reading. Now she had a space just as most of her schoolmates had, right in the middle of her beautiful grin.

Before going to bed that night, Jenny put the tooth under her pillow to see whether a fairy would take it away and
leaved a surprise in its place. She wanted to stay awake, but her eyelids drooped and closed.

The room was still quiet. Then, a tinkle, like the sound of a music box, filled the air. Out of the darkness, the
shiniest little fairy any could imagine floated into the room. She knelt down beside Jenny’s pillow and found the hidden
tooth.

The fairy dropped the tooth into a golden purse and whispered, “Now I have another pearl for my queen’s
necklace. Thanks to you Jenny. Out of gratitude, I will leave you this coin. It will be your reward and will bring you luck,
Jenny.” The music began again, and the fairy fluttered away.

“Wake up, Child,” Jenny’s mother bent over her.

Before she opened her eyes, Jenny reached under the pillow. She was surprised when she felt something there.
When she saw the coin, she sat up smiling.

“Mother,” she cried, “did the fairy come or was I dreaming?”

Mother smiled and said, “You want to believe that she came, don’t you? So why don’t we just make believe that
she did?”

With that thought, Jenny just smiled.

“But I saw her, Mother. I just don’t know how. I wish I didn’t fall asleep,” she said winking at Mother. “Oh, well, I
still have baby teeth anyway!”

On March 3, 2003 a great event took place in our school. It was the start of our annual
foundation week. Many contests and games were held and big prizes were at stake. My friends and I
bagged the first place in the MTAP competition for grade V pupils. We were very happy and our teachers
congratulated us for being the winner.

The next day I led the program intended for our teachers and principal. The pupil-participants of
the program showed their best in singing, dancing and even acting. It was a tiresome afternoon but an
exciting day.

On the 3rd day, we heard a mass in our school’s chapel and in the afternoon a sportsfest was
held. Being with my friends and classmates, while participating in all the sports events is an experience.
We joined the relay contest, volleyball and badminton.

We launched the school project dubbed as “May Pera sa Basura” a day before the end of the
week-long celebration. We also served the community through tree planting and cleaning the
environment.

Finally, the much awaited moment for us was the fifth day of the celebration, the awarding
ceremony was held and we received our awards and prizes. I felt so happy and relaxed during the

The Bundle of Sticks

Once upon a time, an old man lived with his three sons in a village. All his three
sons were hard workers. Still, none of them agreed with each other and quarrelled all the time. The old man tried a lot to unite
them but he failed. While the villagers were surprised at their hard work and efforts, they also made fun of them on their fights.

Months passed by and the old man fell sick. He talked to his sons to stay united, but none of his sons heard his words. So, he decided
to teach them a practical lesson so that they would shed off their differences and stay united.

The old man called as his sons. He told them, ‘I will give you a bundle of sticks. Separate each stick and you will have to break each
stick into pieces of two. The one who breaks the sticks quickly will be rewarded more.’

All sons agreed.

The old man gave a bundle of 10 sticks to everyone of them and asked to break it into pieces. All the sons broke the sticks into pieces
in minutes.

And again they started to quarrel among themselves as who came first.

The old man said, ‘Dear sons, the game is not over. Now I will give another bundle of sticks to all of you. You will have to break the
sticks as a bundle, not as separate sticks.’

The sons agreed and began to break the bundle of sticks. Unfortunately, they could not break the bundle. They tried very hard but
failed to complete the task. All sons said to the father about their failure.

The old man replied, ‘Dear sons, See! You could easily break the single sticks into pieces, but you were not able to break the bundle!
The sticks were same. So, if you stay united, nobody can make any harm to you. If you quarrel every time with your brothers, anyone
can easily defeat you. I request you to stay united.’

Fight Among the Fingers

by kathavarta

Once there was a fight among the fingers. Each of them was fighting, “I am the king of the fingers, I am the greatest, I am
the most important”. All of them went to the court and stood in front of the judge for his decision.

In the court, the thumb stood in front of the judge and said: “I am the king, because I am the strongest and firmest. Without
me no one is able to do work. Hence I am the king”. The judge heard all that.

Next the index finger got up and said, “I am the king, because I threaten everyone. I point to things, direct people and show
things. Hence I have names like threatener, shower, and pointer.” The judge heard all that.

Next, the middle finger got up and said, “I am the strongest and longest of all the fingers. Hence I deserve to be the king”.
The judge heard all that.

Next the ring finger stood and said, “I am the richest, because I wear a ring made of gold, studded with all the precious
gems. Hence I am the king”.

Next, the little finger stood up with eyes filled with tears and said, “I am not strong like the thumb. I cannot threaten others.
I am very small and negligible. I am very poor and do not wear a gold ring. But when I do Namaskara, there I stand in front. I am
lucky to have the first sight (Darshan) of all the great people.”

Having heard that, the judge decided that the little finger deserves to be the king of all the fingers.

Fox and the Rabbit

Long long ago there were two close friends named Jaggu and Bunny.Jaggu was a fox living in a
small forest adjacent to a village while Bunny was a rabbit living in the same forest. These two friends
were so close to each other than daily they used to share a lot of things like toys, food items, stories and
they were also spending time in the forest by playing with other forest animals.
Though Jaggu and Bunny were close friends, yet Jaggu was short tempered and was loosing its temper. In a
very loose tongue and was always involved in fights, arguments and quarrels with her friends. This is the reason why people in the
village and Jaggu's friends as well did not like Jaggu much because it was always like a fighter cock. But on the other hand Jaggu's
close friend Bunny was very soft spoken, giving respect to the elderly people and was always excusing others for their mistakes. And
because of such a sweet nature of Bunny, it was very much liked by its friends and even by the people in the nearby village.

One day both the friends Jaggu and Bunny talked for a long time and at the end both of these friends
expressed their wish of getting laddus prepared by their moms. These two friends liked laddus very much just like
Chota Bheem who is very fond of laddus. Jaggu and Bunny ran to their houses and expressed their wish of eating
laddus. Hearing this their moms said, "Oh dear, even I wish I could prepare these wonderful sweets for you. But I
need to buy lot of things like gram flour, sugar, melted butter (ghee), cardamom powder, cashew nuts and other dry
fruits for preparing laddus. And we don't have enough money right now to buy all these stuff."In this way moms of
both the friends expressed their incapability of preparing laddus. Now these two friends again had a meeting on
how to get laddus prepared by their moms and how to enjoy eating these delicious sweets. After a long discussion,
both the friends arrived to a conclusion and went home happily.
As it was night time, they had a sound sleep. Jaggu and Bunny woke early in the morning as per their plan. They were
determined to get laddus prepared the next day by their moms. So after finishing off their daily chores both the friends walked
towards the village to get all the stuff required for preparing laddus. On reaching the village, Jaggu went straight to a shopkeeper and
said arrogantly, "Hey, give me some gram flour, sugar, ghee and all the other things required to prepared laddus. I like laddus very
much and want to make laddus with it. On hearing Jaggu's harsh words, the shopkeeper was annoyed, however he kept quite and
gave Jaggu the bill in which the cost of all the items are mentioned.
On seeing the bill and the amount mentioned in it, Jaggu turned wild and started cursing the
shopkeeper. Jaggu said, "You moturam what are you going to lose if you give me little gram flour, sugar
and other things. You cheat!, why should I give you money for all these things when so much of these
items are thrown away waste in the backyard of your shop. Can't you be kind enough to donate little bit of
these things to the poor?" Saying so, Jaggu started using bad language and started shouting at the
shopkeeper. All the time, Bunny was trying to calm down Jaggu by pulling him back. But Jaggu did not
listen to his friend but continued with his shout at the shopkeeper.
As there is a limit for anyone's patience so also the shopkeeper lost his patience by all this big shout of Jaggu. So he went
straight into his house, got a big wooden rod only to beat and hit hard Jaggu. Seeing the shopkeeper coming with a big wooden rod in
his had both the friends had to run fast out of the place to save their skin. After running for a while, they rested for a while under the
shade of tree and felt sad for the failure of their plan. However, Bunny did not lose its heart and said to his friend, "Jaggu, please
listen to me, you hide yourself behind me and don't show your face. Let me go and try out for getting all the stuff for making laddus."
As Jaggu had a great faith on his friend Bunny he simply said yes and acted as per the instructions.
This time Bunny walked slowly to the shopkeeper and said, "Namaste Ramuchacha. Saying so, Bunny
bowed down and touched his feet. The shopkeeper was very much impressed with this gesture of Bunny and
blessed him. The shopkeeper asked, "How are doing these days Bunny?" Replied Bunny, "I am doing good Chacha
(Uncle). How about you? I heard Chachi (Aunt) was not well. How is she now?

29
 The shopkeeper, "oh! how nice of you Bunny to remember this. Of course, she is recovering now. Bunny, "How
are your kids Monu and Champa?" How are their studies going on?"Shopkeeper, "They are doing good Bunny.
What's the purpose of your visit?
Bunny, "Actually Chacha, I like laddus very much and you know we don't have enough money either to laddus or
to buy all the things for making laddus at home. So, I thought of asking help from you Chahca. Anyway, if you cannot give,
I won't mind because I know you too have to look after your family's needs and you are taking all the pains and working
hard to earn money to look after your family. I don't mind Chacha if you are not in a position to lend me."
On listening you such polite words of Bunny, the shopkeeper was so pleased that he was readily willing to give all the
things needed to make laddus and thus he said, "Oh, Bunny, you are such a sweet little thing and when you wanted to eat laddus, I
am sure to help you out. You need not lend all the things for making laddus from me but I can give you all these for free as a gift.
You are a little one and I am sure you don't need much of these things. Moreover, there is so much stuff which is being eaten up by
the rats and cockroaches in the night time. And many a times, I have to even throw away some of the stuff that gets spoiled. When
there is some wastage in my shop, I really don't mind donating you these stuff to you who are so sweet and good."

Saying so, the shopkeeper turned out to his salesman and asked him to get all the things required
for making laddus and give all those things to sweet little Bunny. Jaggu was listening to the whole
conservation from behind the scene and felt very happy as they both can now have laddus to eat. At the
same time, he even learnt the lesson that if he want to get help from others he should not demand help
from them instead he should request them for a help and should be polite in his words. Jaggu and Bummy
carried all the stuff required for preparing laddus to Jaggu's home. On seeing these things Jaggu's mother
felt happy and she prepared delicious laddus and gave it to both the friends. From this incident on wards
there was a lot of change in Jaggu's way of talking and his behavior as well. He started talking to everyone
with respect and politeness. Now everyone slowly started liking Jaggu as well.

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness,
Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the
island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the
island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat.

Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No,
can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help
me!” “I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might
damage my boat,” Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.”

“Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love
called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed,
Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her
own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,

Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who Helped me?”

“It was Time,” Knowledge answered.“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”

WHY THE SKY IS HIGH

In the early days when the sky was still low, two brothers name Ingat and Daskol lived with
their parents on earth.
As their names indicate, Ingat was careful in everything he did and was therefore his
father’s right hand man.He was always helping with the work in the field and his parents were very pleased
with him.
On the other hand, Daskol did his work sloppily. In the absence of a daughter in the family,
the house work came to be Daskol’s responsibility. He fetched water, cleaned the house and mother did the
cooking. He also did the pounding of the palay that his father harvested. Daskol lived up to his name being
natural lazy and impatient, he did not like the work of pounding.
One day, Daskol had to pound a greater quantity of palay than usual. He was irritated
because every time he raise the pestle, it would hit the sky. His anger added to his strength so he raised the
pestle higher. Every time it hit the sky, the sky would be raised. In his hurry, Daskol did nit notice that the sky
was rising. When he finished pounding rise, he looed up and discovered that the sky had risen, and it is where
it is today.

Have you gone to Pasay City? What are some of the places of interest in Pasay City? We are
going to study further about Pasay, which is now a city .

Pasay City is considered the gateway to the Philippines by air. The Ninoy Aquino
International Airport lies within its confines. Within its limited area of only 19 square kilometers live
386,702 residents. Squeezed into it are five colleges and universities, seven flying schools and
public and private hospitals.

Pasay has had a long and colorful history. In per Spanish time, Rajah Soliman named
it after his daughter, princess Pasay. A greater part of Pasay formed part of Nanayan, now St. Ana
, a trading upstream along the Pasig River.

In 1727 Pasay was annexed to Malate to provide easier access to the Malate Parish. It
was also at this time that Pasay was named Pineda, a Spanish landowner of the place who
provided protection for the town people. At that time marauding brigands attacked and victimized
many residents.

Pasay has grown by accretion. On October 12, 1903, the Municipality of Malibay,
earlier created on Feb. 2, 1889, was annexed to the Municipality of Pasay. Then ,on January
1,1942 Pasay was incorporated into greater Manila.

After the Second World War . In 1945 , Pasay reverted as a Municipality of Rizal
province.

55
 On August 16,1947, it became a city by virtue of Republic Act No. 183 and was renamed
Rizal City . But three years later in 1950, it reverted to its former name Pasay City.

Pasay City celebrated its 130th anniversary on December 2, 1993, as a pueblo or town,
for it was on this day 130 years ago when civil and ecclesiastical authorities allowed the residents
to manage their political and religious affairs. Now Pasay City contributes much of the country’s
prosperity and progress.

The Lion and the Mouse

Once when a lion, the king of the jungle, was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down on him.
This soon awakened the lion, who placed his huge paw on the mouse, and opened his big jaws to swallow
him.
"Pardon, O King!" cried the little Mouse, "Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it and I shall never
forget your kindness. And who knows, I may be able to do you a good turn one of these days!”
The Lion was so tickled by the idea of the mouse being able to help him that he lifted his paw and let
him go.
Sometime later, a few hunters captured the lion, and tied him to a tree. After that they went in search of
a wagon, to take him to the zoo.
Just then the little mouse happened to pass by. On seeing the lion’s plight, he ran up to him and gnawed
away the ropes that bound him, the king of the jungle.
"Was I not right?" said the little mouse, very happy to help the lion.

Read the story entitled “The Bug Collection” by: Andrew Frinkle

Peter had to do a bug collection for school. He was required to get

several different Orders of bugs, and at least one Species of each of those
Orders. Orders were groups of similar bugs, and Species were specific
examples. There were 29 different Orders of bugs in the world, but most
bugs came from four common groups, while the others could be quite rare.

He knew if he could catch about ten Species of bugs from four

different Orders, he’d get a good grade. So, he went outside with his bug net and caught a Yellow Cabbage
Butterfly almost right away! That was a member of the Order Lepidoptera, which included all the butterflies
and moths. He caught several more butterflies and moths over the next few hours, including a swallowtail
butterfly and a moth almost the size of his hand that had been hiding on a tree, blending in. He’d have to look
it up in a book later to see what kind it was.

The second Order he found was Orthoptera. This was the group of bugs that included grasshoppers
and crickets. He caught a black cricket under the rose bushes, and then snagged a big fat green locust flying
through the yard. It was hard to catch that one, because it flew so fast.
Hymenoptera was the next Order he found, but it wasn’t that hard. There was a whole anthill filled
with fire ants by the back porch, and there were black ants in the driveway. Then he found a dead wasp in a
spider’s web near the barn. Those were both in the same group of insects.

68
 After that, it got harder. He got down on his hands and knees and crawled through the grass,
eventually finding a ladybug. Those were in the Order Coleoptera. He didn’t find any other beetles, though. He
did find a spider, but that didn’t count. Spiders were Arachnids, creatures with eight legs. Insects were only
supposed to have six legs. Regardless, he could not keep the spider for his collection. He saw a dragonfly,
but it was too fast, and that meant he didn’t have a member of Order Odonata.

He got lucky and found a walking stick before he gave up for the day. That was a rare member of the
Order Phasmida, which included camouflaging bugs like leaf bugs and stick bugs. It seemed like he’d get a
pretty good grade after all!

The Structure of the Flower

The lower and outermost part of a flower are the sepals. They are usually green. They
look like leaves. They form the protective covering of the flower when it is still a bud.

Above the sepals are the petals. Petals often have bright colors because they attract
insects. Growing just above and within the circle of petals are the stamens. Each stamen has a long
stem like part called filament. At the top of the filament is another which is filled with yellow or reddish
dust-like grains called pollen.

The innermost part of the flower is the pistil which has three parts – the stigma, the
style and the large base called ovary. Within the ovary are small structures called ovules. Seeds
develop from the ovules. ( Grade 5 Lesson Guide p. 204 )

 THE JELLYFISH JOURNEY

Once upon a time, the king of the dragons who was an old bachelor took it into his head to get
married. His bride was a young dragonette just sixteen years old- lovely enough to become the wife of any
king. The wedding caused much rejoicing. The fishes both great and small came to offer gifts to the newly
wedded pair. For many days there was feasting and merriment.

But alas, even dragons have their trials. Before a month has passed, the young dragon queen fell ill.
The doctors gave her every medicine that was known to dragons, but none helped her. At last, they said that
there was nothing more to be done. She would probably die. But the sick queen said to her husband, “I know
of something that will cure me. Get me a live monkey’s liver and I shall get well at once.

“A live monkey’s liver!” exclaimed the king. “What are you thinking of, my dear? You forgot that we
dragons live in the sea, while monkey’s live on land far away among the forest trees. A monkey’s liver! My
darling, you must be mad.”

The young queen burst into tears, “I have asked you for only one small thing,” she whispered, “and
you won’t get it for me. I wish I had stayed at home with my own m-m-m-mama and my own papa-a-a-a.”

The dragon king did not like to have it thought that he was unkind to his beautiful young wife. So he
sent for his trusty servant, the jellyfish, and said: “I have a rather difficult task for you. I want you to swim
across the land and persuade a live monkey to come here with you. Tell the monkey how much nicer
everything is here in Dragon Land than where he lives, so that he will be willing to come. What I really want
him for is to cut out his liver to use as a medicine for the queen.”

So the jellyfish started off on his strange errand. In those days, he was just like any other fish, with
eyes and fins and a tail. But he had little feet also, so that he could walk on land. It did not take him many
hours to swim across the country where the monkeys live. Fortunately there happened to be a monkey
jumping about among the branches of the trees near the place where the jellyfish landed.

“Good morning, Mr. Monkey,” said the jellyfish. “I have come to tell you a beautiful country where the
weather is always pleasant. There are plenty of ripe fruits on the trees, and there are none of those
mischievous creatures called men. Will you not get on my back and let me take you there?”

The monkey thought it would be fun to see a new country. So he jumped on the jellyfish’s back, and
off they started across the water. When they had gone about halfway, he began to fear that there might be
some hidden danger. It seemed rather odd for jellyfish to come so far to carry a stranger home simply to see
the country.

“My Jellyfish, why did you think of coming for me?”

“My master, the king of the dragons, sent me to get you,” answered the jellyfish.

 “He wants to give your liver as medicine to the queen.”

“Oh, that’s your little game, is it?” thought the monkey, but he kept his thoughts to himself, and only
said, “Nothing could please me better than to be of service to the king and queen. But I left my liver hanging
on a branch of that big tree where you first saw me. A liver is heavy to carry about so I generally take mine out
and play about without it. We shall have to go back for it.”

The jellyfish agreed that there was nothing else to do. The silly creature did not see that the monkey
was only fooling him in order to save his life and his liver.

When they reached the shore again, the monkey bounded off the jellyfish’s back and was up the tree
in less than a minute. Then he said: “I do not see my liver here. Perhaps somebody has taken it away. I will
look for it. Go back and tell your master what has happened. He may become very anxious if you did not get
home before dark.”

So the jellyfish started home. When he told the king of the dragons what happened, the king was so
angry and said: “Away with this fellow. Take him and beat him to a pulp. Do not let a single bone remain
unbroken in his body.”

The officers seized the unfortunate jellyfish and beat him as the king had commanded. That is the
reason why, to this very day, jellyfish have no bones.

When the young queen found she could not have the monkey’s liver, she made up her mind to get well
without it.

“The Best Treasure”
