 Introductory Message

For the learner

Welcome to the English 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on

Researching Information from Print and Non-print Media Sources. One important
skill that you must possess is the ability to gather information from different sources
available especially during this pandemic. You will be exploring different forms of
media that will make you a good reader and a good listener when it comes to news or
updates on what is happening now. You will be asking yourself on details that matter
the most to you and to everybody.

With the current situation now, your sources of information depend mostly on
what is available in your community. If you live in the city, you may have the access of
a good internet connection or if you live in the province, the television and radio are
there for you. There are still lots of other sources that you might be using right now
especially when you are going to research on a certain topic. You don’t only rely into
one available source but also other sources that will be helpful in making your essay,
article or research paper. This gives you the challenge on what will be useful and what
might cause harm to you.

Thus, this module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will
be enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active
learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

What I Need to Know This will give you an idea of the skills or competencies
you are expected to learn in the module.

gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!
 What I Need to Know

This module is created with you in mind during this time of pandemic or when
face to face learning might be impossible. You will be exploring on researching a topic
with support using two or three sources provided, e.g. newspapers, websites, video,
images, podcast, print based-material.

Researching a topic with support from print and non-print media is a skill that a
21st century student must be able to master. With the rise of modern technologies,
news coming from fake sources also flood the internet gateways. Thus, answering
through the module helps the learner becomes a responsible reader and receiver of
news both in print and non-print sources.

After reading this module, you will be able to research information using print and
non-print media sources (EN7VC-1V-C-15), specifically:

1. differentiate print and non-print media;

2. identify important information based on news, advisory, and news report;
3. construct simple WH-questions, be-verbs, and do, does, did based on a print
and non-print source;
4. gather different reliable sources on a certain topic;
5. formulate a paragraph containing important details; and
6. write a summary from an article or an essay.

 Lesson Researching Information Using
Print and Non-Print Media
3 Sources

Do you like reading news from newspapers or magazines? Do you enjoy getting
information from the internet as a support to a certain topic? What is your favorite
website? Where do you get your news? Once you open and read a source of
information from the internet, do you immediately trust the site you opened?

What’s In

Activity 2: Refresh Me

Let’s try to explore if you have fully understood and enjoyed the search engine
online. Below is the leading search engine with 1,100,000,00 monthly visitors where it
surely gives you all the answers to all your questions in mind.

Covid--19

Process Questions:

1. What do you think will come out if you search the keyword,
COVID-19?
2. How does a search engine complete your online work?
3. Why is gathering information online using a search engine useful?

3
 What’s New

Activity 3: Sort Me

This is your second activity for this new topic. You copy the box and group the
following words below according to print and non-print media.

a. Newspaper f. Newsletter
b. Podcast g. Magazine
c. Television h. Cellphone
d. Radio i. Billboard
e. Computer j. Website

PRINT MEDIA NON-PRINT MEDIA

What is It

1. Did you find it easy to classify the list in the box? Why?
2. What information do you see, read or hear from these sources?
3. What questions can you get from these sources of information?
4. Do you choose your sources of information when researching about a topic?
How?
5. Do you find these sources helpful in your daily living? Why?

4
 Did you enjoy the activity? You now have known that there are two types of
media. These are the PRINT and NON-PRINT MEDIA. I am sure that you are familiar
with all those mentioned in the box. If not, you can try to do some research about it
later.

With the current setting, you have already seen, read or heard different issues
about COVID-19, ABS-CBN shutdown, Anti-terrorism Bill, taxes for online sellers and
a lot more. Thanks to these media outlets that keep you informed! But have you tried
asking yourself if the data that they are giving contains the truth? You, being a
responsible citizen must be able to choose your sources of information well. It has to
come from a trusted source. Surely, if you have the correct information, it will help you
become a knowledgeable person and not easily persuaded by other people’s opinion
unless supported with factual evidences.

Now, let us try to know more about media by reading the following paragraphs:

Media (medium) refers to the communication outlets through which we made

known to the public different important data like news, music, movies, education,
promotional messages and other data. It includes physical and e-newspapers or online
newspapers, magazines, billboards, radio, televisions, telephone and internet.

PRINT MEDIA

Based on the Oxford Reference,

print media is defined as any written or
pictorial form of communication
produced mechanically or electronically
using printing, photocopying, or digital
methods from which multiple copies can
be made through automated processes.

This is the oldest type of media that we are still using now. Examples of print
media are newspapers, books, journals, magazines and reports.

Newspapers are published daily or weekly and they cover different topics from
local to international news. They provide information as well as entertainment.

5
 Functions of newspapers:

a. As an information provider
b. As opinion builder
c. As entertainment provider
d. As a ground for advertising

Magazines are printed sheets that give information in various events or topics.
Usually a magazine is issued periodically, either annually, quarterly, monthly and
weekly.

Functions of magazines:

a. Provides information
b. Provides entertainment
c. Facilitates advertising

NON-PRINT MEDIA

Non-print media is a means of

informing the people without using paper
or print. This type has become very
common to all people both as a tool in the
educational process and as means of
spreading information all throughout the
world.

Libraries have also become more

focused with them by turning some parts of the library as multimedia corner. Have you
been to a library?

TV and radio are examples of broadcast media. Radio was invented about a
century ago while the television came up at the end of the 1940s.

One fast growing medium is the internet. It offers the people content from all
other forms of media. It is booming amidst the expense of the other two mentioned
above. Many people are depending on the internet when they are working, shopping,
learning and even spending leisure or pleasure time.

6
 Mobile devices or cellphones are wireless devices that can receive and send
messages, browse the net, take photos, play games, and record videos. It also has
applications that give users access wherever and whenever. So what is your favorite
app? Is it Tiktok, Wordscapes or Candy Crush Saga?

Social Media is a combination of online telecommunication channels where

netizens or citizens using the internet interact, share content, and collaborate.
Examples of this type for social networking are Facebook, Instagram, wikis, blogging
or video blogging (vlog), zoom conference and video calling. I bet you have a
Facebook account with thousands of friends across the globe.

Podcast is a piece of audio-like story, interview or documentary. It can be

downloaded from the internet. It was created in the year 2014 and has become famous
in the later part. People enjoy podcasting and listening to it wherever they are.

Website is a presentation of images, videos or information posted on the

internet. By searching a certain keyword using the search engine, it will lead you to a
certain website. Information posted on this site varies from certain topics that offer
other links, advertisements and other pop-out images. One must be able to
differentiate reliable sources from the unreliable ones.

is-a-website/

7
 Video is a recording of motion picture or television program for playing through
a television set. Nowadays, video is popularly found in the internet like in Youtube,
Facebook or Netflix. It can be downloaded from Youtube and seen on Facebook.
Netflix offers a variety of movies that you need to pay premium before watching.

TYPES OF SOURCES

Primary Source is anything that presents direct evidence or information about

the people, events, or phenomena that you are looking for. The information that you
are researching comes from the witnesses or comes from the actual setting itself.
Examples of this source are interviews, surveys, experiments, letters, photographs,
and newspapers.

Source: http://www.ots.gov.ph/live-studio-interview-serbisyo-all-access-cnn-ph

Secondary Source is anything that describes, interprets, evaluates, or

analyzes information out from the original source. Some examples of this are books,
articles, reviews, and essays.

8
 Grammar Alert!

Asking questions is important in doing research. This serves as a guide in your

activity later.

Source: https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1246069/de-oro-daily-stops-print-editions-stays-online-
amid-covid-19-scare

A sentence which asks for information is called an interrogative sentence or

interrogatives. It is a sentence that states a question and requires a response. An
interrogative sentence ends with a question mark (?). Of course, you already know
this when you were in elementary.

 Yes/No questions are questions that can be answered with a yes or a no. Yes/No
questions are usually formed by inverting the Be-verbs. (is, are, am, was, were)
and the subject.

Examples of Be-verbs
is are am was were

Examples:

Is Mindanao Gold Star Daily a newspaper in Cagayan de Oro City?

Are the people now going to use social platforms to know the news?

9
  Remember to use the verb is (was) when the subject is singular and the verb
are (were) when the subject is plural.

 Do, Does, and Did can also be used in this way when dealing with action verbs.

Examples:

Does the Covid-19 scare make them stop their print editions?

Do they still deliver news?

 Does is used when the subject is singular and Do when the subject is plural.

 WH questions are interrogatives that begin with what, who, when, where, why,
and how. These questions require specific information.

Examples:
What made De Oro Daily stop its print editions?
Where are they going to deliver news?

Hurray! You have just finished learning on how to construct questions. This will
be helpful in getting current information from a media source. Are you ready for some
activities using your new knowledge?

On the next page, you will be reading a primary source about Misamis
Occidental COVID-19 Case.

Good luck!
