Pre-assessment:

Recall your childhood memories: What is a communication tool that you or your family used that has
now become obsolete? Share your memory of this tool and tell what you have been using in
replacement of this gadget.

Answer:

My family is using a computer when I was a child for communication but now that my father is in
Singapore and thousand miles away from me, we are using smartphones (video call) to talk.

KNOWLEDGE CHECK

Following the news is an essential habit to be well-informed of the current events and to develop one’s
critical thinking, vocabulary, and reading or listening skills, among others. Which platform/s do you
prefer to get news —newspaper, television, radio, or online? Why?

Answer:

I prefer online and television because they are easier to use. Social media is part of our lives especially
on this generation so it is more accessible to use online to look for news.
