Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the English 4 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module 5 on Using

Appropriate Graphic Organizers in Texts Read!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or
facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum
while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also
aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

iii

 What’s New

Read the story in the box and answer the concept map below.

Mutya, the Milkmaid, was going to the market carrying a

huge pail of pure milk on her head. She hummed a happy tune
while walking. As she went along, she began thinking of what
she would do with the money she would get from selling milk.
“I’ll buy some chicken from Mang Tomas,” said she, “And they
will lay eggs each morning, then I will sell the eggs to the
mayor’s wife. With the money that I will get from the sale of the
eggs, I’m sure I can buy myself a cute dress and a hat; and
when I go to the market I would be a muse.”
As she spoke, she tossed her head back, the pail fell
down, and all the milk was spilled. She had to go home and tell
her mother what happened.

 What is It

Graphic Organizers are teaching and learning tools used to

organize information and ideas to comprehend easily. They are
used in integrating text and visuals, graphic organizers to show
relationships and connections between concepts, terms and facts.

Uses of Graphic Organizers:

 Help visualize or present information.
 Provide opportunity to actively contribute and
participate in the learning process.
 Help develop cognitive skills such as critical and
creative thinking.
 Help recall prior knowledge about a subject and
quickly connect it to a new information.
 Promote self-learning.

There are many different forms of graphic organizers, each with

its own unique way of organizing and displaying specific bits of
information.

7
1. T-Chart – helps organize ideas into two columns and
examine two components of an object, concept or events. It
is used to show causes and effects or advantages and
disadvantages.

Let’s take a look at this example:

Nutritious Foods Junk Foods

 Give energy  Increase obesity

 Provide  Lead to
muscle depression
growth

2. Concept Map – shows relationship between the main idea

and other information. Concepts or ideas are presented in
boxes or circles and are linked to related ideas with arrows.

8
 Let’s take a look at this example:

Coconut – The Tree of Life

The coconut is the most useful tree known in our country.

All its parts are usable in one way or the other, from its leaves
down to its roots.

The roots of the coconut tree are used in making dye. The
trunks are used as posts for buildings and the hard outer part of
the trunk is cut into boards. On the other hand, the innermost
part of the trunk top is edible. It is called ubod and is used in
cooking fresh lumpia, salad and pickles.

The coconut fruit has many uses. The outer covering of the
fruit is called husk. The husks are turned into coir which is used
for making mattresses. They are also used for scrubbing the floors
and sinks. They, too, are used as fuel. The shells are dried and
turned into charcoal. Some people prefer to use charcoal in
cooking and ironing clothes. The shells are also polished to be
made into buttons, vases, pot holders, buckles, toys and
decorative articles.

Inside the dark shell is the coconut meat which is eaten in a

variety of ways. The meat when young is called buko and is eaten
fresh. It is also an important ingredient for preparing fruit salad
or buko gelatin. The matured coconut meat is grated to get
coconut cream which is used in cooking native cakes and native
dishes. The water inside the coconut is a great thirst quencher.

The leaves are dried and used in making mats, hats, baskets,
bags and placemats. The midribs are made into trays, baskets and
stick brooms.

Are you now aware of the many uses of the coconut tree? It
is easy to propagate and grow. It lives long and can withstand
rough weather.

3. Main Idea Web – starts with a central idea and branches out
into related ideas and details (sub-ideas); sometimes referred
to as spider or semantic web.
This type of graphic organizer is used primarily for
brainstorming and generating ideas.

Let’s take a look at this example:

The Carabao and the Cow
Once upon a time, the cow and the carabao were very good
friends. They were together everywhere in the pasture. One day, they
agreed to go to the river to swim.
Very early next morning, they were at the river bank. They took
off their hides- hides could still be taken off like that- and carefully laid
them on the grass. Then, they jumped into the cool water and enjoyed
themselves.
Running down the riverbank, the boys started throwing pebbles
at the carabao and the cow.
The two were very much frightened. They each hurried up the
bank and snatched the nearest hide. It happened that in their hurry,
the carabao and the cow exchanged hides.
The cow who was smaller than the carabao, put on the hide of his
friend. It proved too loose, especially under the neck.
The carabao squeezed himself into the cow’s tight hide. It was so
tight that he never squeezed himself out again.

 4. Venn Diagram – is used to compare and contrast two or more
groups of things by visually displaying their similarities and
differences in two or more circles that overlap.

My Writing Buddies
My mother gives me a new pencil case. It has a pencil and
a ballpen. My ballpen is as long as my pencil. My pencil is
blue. My ballpen is black. I use them both in writing. My
ballpen marks darker and is difficult to be erased while my
pencil marks lighter but easier to be erased.

5. Flow Chart – presents a series of steps or events in order
- helps clarify a sequence of events or a step-
by-step procedure or process of accomplishing
a task.

 What’s More

Read the short story carefully.

Paul is a big boy. He is a hard headed boy. Instead of

playing with toys, he destroys things around him. He steps on
the plants in the garden. He throws his garbage anywhere. He
does not care and show concern to the environment.
He
One day, he learned a big lesson. Their barangay

 What I Can Do

Activity 1: Read the story below. Compare and contrast the dogs
based on their characteristics using the Venn Diagram. Answers
can be found in the story. Write your answers on a separate sheet
of paper.

Kiwi and Kiroy

Arvy had two dogs. He named them Kiwi and Kiroy. Both
of them were born on the same date; thus, they were of the same
age. Kiwi was bigger and more adorable. Kiroy had white and
black fur whereas Kiwi had white fur like the clouds. Both dogs
were very friendly and enjoyed playing games. They were active
and busy playing tug-of-war, catching balls and playing hide-
and-seek with Arvy. The two dogs always eat together but Kiroy
eats faster than Kiwi. It’s their hobby to sleep and rest after
eating. Kiroy slept on the mat while Kiwi slept on the dog’s
house.

the teachers to look for a learner- centered strategy like using
graphic organizer. Graphic organizer is very useful. It helps every
pupil promote self-learning. It recalls prior knowledge linking to
new knowledge. It visualizes information. It also develops
cognitive skill for a lifelong- learning.
