Lesson Gathering Current
1 Information from a Newspaper
and other Print Media.
Reading newspaper and other print media is a good habit that can give a great sense
of educational value. With this habit, it will not only raise your knowledge about
general information but it will likewise improve your language skills and vocabulary.

What’s In

Your previous lesson talks about electronic search engine that is searching
information in a systematic way using the World Wide Web. In today’s lesson, let
us have another way of searching information, and that is through Print media.

As described, print media is the printed version of delivering the news, basically
through newspapers and magazines. Let’s get to know some examples of print media
by doing this short task.

Activity 2. #Hashtag. Read and analyze the given definitions of some print media
and locate the right word in the box being referred to. Write the letter of your choice
in your answer sheet.

#Newspaper #Brochure #Journals #Magazines #Poster

#Newsletter #Billboards #Books #Banner #flyer

__________1. A paper that is printed and distributed usually daily or weekly and
that contains news, articles of opinion, features, and advertising.
__________2. A daily record of news and events of a personal nature; a diary.
__________3. A large printed picture used for decoration.
__________4. A placard or sign carried in a procession or demonstration.
__________5. A bulletin issued periodically to the members of a society, business, or
organization.
__________6. A periodical publication containing articles and illustrations, typically
covering a particular subject or area of interest.
__________7. These include text and graphics―mostly as a combination―so as to
make it more appealing.
__________8. A collection of many printed pages, which are later bound together.
__________9. A kind of booklet that contains the details of the company, or
organization.
__________10. This should always be crisp and eye-catching so that it attracts
people’s attention.

 What’s New

People who read the newspaper, listen to news reports or watch news programs want
the basic information behind a story. Basic information can be summed up by
addressing the 5 W’s: Who? What? Where? When? and Why?

Activity 3. We are the 5 W’s. Read the feature article and gather the basic
information that you can find. Retell the story into your own words. Be guided and
include the 5W’s in your summary. Have it in 1 whole sheet of paper.

A taste of Korea's finest cuisine

By Ben Cal November 1, 2019, 11:44 am

MANILA -- A top Korean chef is in Manila to showcase a taste of Korea’s finest

cuisine. Jang Jin-mo, one of Korea’s leading chefs, gave a sample of his culinary
expertise during a dinner hosted by South Korean Ambassador Han Dong-man at
the Grand Hyatt Manila in Taguig City Wednesday night.

Invited guests included Foreign Secretary Teodoro L. Locsin Jr., National Security
Adviser Secretary Hermogenes C. Esperon Jr., and Central Bank Gov. Benjamin
Diokno, among others.

It was virtually “a taste of Korea’s finest” food as Jang demonstrated his culinary
expertise by cooking Korean-style marinated beef with mushroom puree as the
main dish, a steamed ginger seabass, soy sauce, sesame seeds, mirin, spring
onion, and courgette ribbons, and a seafood soup with winter melon, scallops.

The appetizer was a raw fish, gochujang, pickle with fresh walnut, and the dessert
was white chocolate red bean mousse with mango cream, and a freshly brewed
Korean traditional tea. Jin-mo, a chef for 10 years, is co-owner of a popular
restaurant in South Korea.

He was given a standing ovation by the guests, who were very much satisfied
with his culinary expertise in Korean food.

In his short welcome remarks, Han noted that many Filipinos are patronizing
Korean restaurants not only in Manila, but also in the provinces.

He also said Koreans and Filipinos cook similar food such as pancit, and bulalo,
and prepare the popular halo-halo. (PNA.)

Notes to the Teacher

Let the students read and analyze the story. Their summary
should answer the 5W’s from the article.

 What Is It

People get their news these days from a variety of sources, including television, radio,
magazines and the Internet. However, newspapers remain the most time-honored
medium through which news is delivered to people of all ages throughout the
country.

Here’s how you can easily get information from a newspaper:

1. Look at the picture! Most newspaper articles come with a picture that relates
to the story. Pictures are rich sources of information, for example if the article is
about the discovery of some dinosaur bones the writer might add a diagram of a
human standing next to the dinosaur to show you how big the dinosaur was. This is
called scale.

2. The first two sentences of the article are normally a summary of the entire
article. This means that you can decide whether or not you want to read it very
quickly. If it doesn’t interest you, then move to another article.

3. Articles normally contain foreground and background information.

Foreground information is more specific, more in depth, and tends to be the most
current information.

Let us see How to Speed Read a Magazine through this simple steps.

A. Step #1 – Read the First and Last Paragraph. In well written material, the first
paragraph is usually an introduction to what you are about to read in the article.

B. Step #2 – Read the First Sentence of Every Paragraph. Do this to familiarize

yourself with the main ideas in an article.

C. Step #3 – Read the Entire Article. Think about the last two steps you did. You
read the first and last paragraph, and then the first sentence of every paragraph.

What’s More

Here is a news article that you are going to read. Apply the learned steps on how to
read a newspaper article.

 280 Filipinos from North Africa return to PH
By: Christia Marie Ramos - Reporter / @CMRamosINQ
INQUIRER.net / 09:16 PM June 22, 2020
MANILA, Philippines — Some 280
Filipinos from North Africa were
brought home to the Philippines
Monday night, the “largest” and
“most complicated” repatriation to
be carried out by the Department
of Foreign Affairs (DFA) from the
region since the conflict that
broke out in Libya in 2014.

According to the Philippine Embassy in Tripoli, which oversaw the repatriation, the
repatriates consisted of 227 Filipinos from Algeria, 39 from Libya, and 14 from Tunisia.

Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Elmer Cato said the repatriation, which was the result of
the collaboration between the embassy and employers, took nearly two months to
execute as it involved coordination with employers and authorities in three countries.
On Sunday, a Philippine Airlines special flight landed in Algeria’s capital to pick up
the over 200 Filipino construction workers. It then proceeded to Tunis to pick up
Filipinos from Libya and Tunisia.
A four-month old baby, five government personnel, and the remains of two hospal
workers, who passed away due to non-coronavirus-related complications, were
among those repatriated from Libya, the embassy said.

The 280 Filipinos arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport from Tunis
Monday evening.
The DFA has so far recorded 8,301 COVID-19 cases among overseas Filipinos across
53 countries. Of the number, 2,740 remain under treatment while 5,055 have
recovered. There are 506 fatalities reported so far, according to the DFA.

 Assessment

This time, try listening to the latest news.

Activity 7. Tuning In. Copy and complete the template in a whole sheet of paper.

LEAD-IN: Tonight, the City of Koronadal begins enforcing its curfew. Last
year, about 60 teens were picked up for violating the city's curfew ordinance.
This year, there are a few changes. AAD reports.

Mayor Eleordo “Bebot” Ogena views safety as paramount, as it was last

year. But with revenues down this year, city officials say they cannot spend 75-
thousand pesos for an intake at the T-M-C-A. Instead, they are collaborating
with Franklin Pangilinan Children’s Services which already has an intake center.

Enforcement will also be different this year says Ogena:

OGENA: "what we're doing this year is we're writing them a ticket and we're
taking them home and then if their parents aren't home, then we take them to
Children's Services". (:10)

After receiving the summons, teens who violate the city curfew will have to
appear in court. Last year, officers took the curfew violators to the TMCA.

Ogena says the word spread quickly last summer that the city's then
dormant curfew law would be enforced. He also sees a direct connection between
curfew enforcement and a decrease in crimes:

OGENA: "What we noted in last year's crime statistics is that there was a
decrease in aggravated assault during the summer. There was a felony and
larceny decrease. There were several areas of decrease of violent crimes in our
city.” (:18)

The curfew requires children under age 13 to be off the streets one hour after
sunset and teens age 13-17 must be in by midnight. A curfew violation is a third
degree misdemeanor with a maximum fine of 500 pesos and/or 60 days in jail
for the violator.

The focus will be on the summer months. Though city and county officials
have not decided if the partnership will continue after that.
