 Introductory Message
For the learner:
Welcome to the English 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on
Genres of Viewing!
The 21st century learners like you are visual and digital. According to
research, students take in information 55 percent in visual and only (7) percent in
text. Just as listening, reading, writing and speaking, viewing entails giving attention
to facts and relationships, inferences and to critical analysis (Kathie Johnson and
Connie McDonald, 2007).
As you view visual messages, you need to use a range of viewing skills and
strategies to make sense of the visual messages, and accompanying oral and print
language.

In this module, video clips are presented followed by comprehension

questions concerning the video presented. Sit back, relax and have fun as you
explore and continue to hone your skill in viewing through the various easy and
enjoyable tasks provided in this module.

Viewing is an active process of comprehending visual media, such as in

television and online platform: advertising images, films, diagrams, symbols,
photographs, videos, drama, drawings, sculpture and paintings .

spacing Viewing helps youunderstand the message by seeking and checking

understanding. It is classified according to its purpose and type of information
presented. The classification of viewing is called genres of viewing.

There are five genres of viewing: news flash, weather report, internet-based
program, movie trailer, and documentary.

Genres of Viewing

certain television program important.

Another genre isweather report, which is a part of an entire news program that
updates and foretells weather conditions on a specific area. Weather forecasts are
made by collecting data about the current state of the atmosphere at a given place.
When you wanted to know the weather for the next day, you could watch the news
program’s weather report to be updated.

Internet-based program also provides the viewers informative shows that can
be accessed through websites using internet connection. Netflix, iWant TV, and many
more internet-based programs provide shows that are highly dependent to the internet.
It would also require accessing through desktop computers, laptops, and smart phones.

Oftentimes Often times, when there are upcoming movies, there are series of selected shots
that are shown in television or internet. As these movie trailers attract you because of
its exciting, funny, or noteworthy parts of the film, these are usually short to avoid
spoilers.

Finally,adocumentary is a genre of viewing that is based on research. You can

usually see it in a very long duration. As it is lengthy, it has the ability to bring us a
broader, more deeply engaged and wider view of the current issues.

Activity 4 Activity 3 Language Connections

Read and study the following sentences.
 A documentary contains factual information that teaches us about the fast,
changing world.
 An effective news flash is written with very important details about certain
events that could affect us.
 Learning weather reports are helpful in determining future events.

performing the action in a sentence.   words,
such as

When we immersed ourselves in viewing, it is very important that we censor what

we watch, whether in television or in the internet.

Viewing is more substantial and effective when we consider the best information
that creates value. If we responsibly select what we view, we can filter information that
is relevant for our purposes of viewing: entertainment and information.

Now, more than ever, we need to educate ourselves about important issues and
finding varied and reliable information sources. Knowing the essential and truthful
information among the recent events across the globe, it is very important that we check
the quality sources of information about our world and what is happening in it.

10
 These genres of viewing provide an opportunity to understand and connect with
the world. Further, they are also a great way to gather together with friends to watch
and engage around the important issues of our times.

Whether you watch through television or internet, talking about them together in
person is equally important. With social media channels at our fingertips 24/7, these
genres of viewing remind us of the real people on the opposite side of an issue and
different conditions in which we live.
