1. How the literacy took place during the Prehistoric time?
There are two theories concerning the literacy rate of the indigenous people before the arrival
of Spaniards. The first theory asserts that the Philippine people had a high literacy rate and they
enjoyed a high civilization. The second one claims that a high literacy rate was unlikely and, if
any, limited to a small number of the population. These theories spread of the writing system at
that time. More likely the second theory is more plausible, even though the first one has been
preferred by Philippine historians and scholars.
2. How does traditional literacy differ from conventional literacy?
We all know that traditional literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create,
communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying
contexts while conventional literacy refers to such skills as decoding, oral reading fluency,
reading comprehension, writing, and spelling.
3. Are millennials more intelligent than ancient people?
In the ancient century very few people possessed the skill of writing. That is why we discover a
group of people in the New Testament who are called 'scribes.' So few people could write that a
trained professional subgroup was required to handle the writing needs of the whole
community. While there's a myth that 21st-century literacy is about technology only. Although
technology is important to literacy in the new century, other dimensions of learning are
essential. Studies of workforce readiness show that employers rate written and oral
communication skills very highly, and collaboration, work ethic, critical thinking, and leadership
all rank higher than proficiency in information technology.
4. What are the types of literacies include in the conventional literacy?
The types of literacies include in the conventional literacy are: first, the basic literacy, it is the
ability to correspond visual shapes to spoken sounds in order to decode written materials and
translate them into oral language. Second, the comprehension literacy, it is the ability to
understand the meaning of what is being read. The last one is functional or practical literacy, it
is the ability to read and comprehend written materials needed to perform everyday vocational
tasks.
Elaborate

1. Based on the given input, can you assess how literate are you?
I'm literate enough because I can read and write. Literate is just being able to read and write,
but being really fluent in a field. Another thing is I have an understanding of the language/text
deep enough to question and form my own conclusions.
2. How deep is your level of comprehension?
For me, the level of my comprehension is inferential because I am able to process written
information, combine ideas, draw conclusions and understand the underlying meaning of the
text. This information is then used to infer or determine deeper meaning that is not explicitly
stated.
3. As a pre-service teacher, what kind of written materials should you be able to read and
understand?
As a pre-service teacher, lesson plan is the kind of written materials that are able to read and
understand because it's a list of tasks that my students will undertake. It will guide me all the
way on my teaching.
4. Which of the new literacies are you knowledgeable in? Which of the new literacies do you
lack knowledge in?
I think I'm knowledgeable being a computer literate because I have sufficient knowledge and
skills with the operations of computers. While I'm not really good in podcasting because it
combines the freedom of blogging with digital audio technology to create an almost endless
supply of content.
5. Although reading education in the Philippines aims to develop Functional Practical literacy
in learners, what level of literacy is being developed when classroom practices focus more on
memorization rather than on understanding and application?
In the classroom practices, supporting details are being developed because it provides
information to clarify, prove, or explain the main idea. These details demonstrate the validity of
the main idea. They often list parts, aspects, steps, or examples of the main idea. Therefore it
focus more on memorization rather than on understanding and application.

1. Compare and contrast the traditional concept of literacy to the modern view of literacy.
Traditional literacy is the integration of listening, speaking, reading, writing and critical thinking.
It includes a cultural knowledge which enables a speaker, writer or reader to recognize and use
language appropriate to different social situations. While modern view of literacy refer to the
ways the language-based processes of reading, writing and digital communication are
integrated in acts of making and sharing meaning.

2. Describe the changes in the 21st century that have led to the rise of new literacies.
In the twenty-first century, literacy skills increasingly reflect technology use and the abilities
necessary to problem-solve, collaborate, and present information through multi-media. As
technology becomes more readily available to all students, concepts of literacy change.
Researchers and theorists from various disciplines define and describe 21st century literacies
using many terms that are inadvertently interchanged and/or unfamiliar to teachers. The
purpose of this article is to review contemporary definitions of literacy to clarify what is
currently known about 21st century literacy skills

3. What teaching strategies and form of assessment could you use to help develop functional
literacy?
I think cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with
students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their
understanding of a subject. It could be use to help develop functional literacy because
cooperative learning is characterized by positive interdependence, where students perceive
that better performance by individuals produces better performance by the entire group.

4. Prepare a lesson plan that incorporates some of the new literacies.

I. Objectives:

a.) Acquire a clearer understanding about Printed Media.

b.) Value the importance or knowing the different kind of media used in teaching and
learning process.
c.) Make a scenario that shows the advantages and disadvantages of Printed Media.
II. Subject Matter:

Topic: Printed Media

III. Procedure

1. Prayer 2. Greetings 3. Checking of attendance 4. Review

6. Motivation
The teacher shows a video presentation entitled "media" that is connected to the today's
discussion and the student will watch and analyze the video presentation. After that the teacher will ask
some question to his / her students.

B. Developmental Phase

1. Activity
The class will be divided into two(2). The class will going to have an activity called “collect me and
you will get me" the teacher explain the mechanics of the activity. The player must play the game for
only 3 minutes. The first group students will go to the first station and read the statement inside the
piece of paper and do the command inside it, until they collect all the small box inside the piece of paper
, with the group 2 students will do the same with the group 1. After that one representative go to the
front and explain the quotes that is connected to discussion for today.

2. Analysis
Printed Media

 Is one of the oldest forms of instructional media that is being used in the classroom.
 Printing has indeed evolved. From the Woodblock printing in 200CE to the digital
printing that is used nowadays.
 Are materials used to inform, instruct and motivate learners.
 As a learning aid, printed materials are used to enhance the learning of the students.
 As training materials, printed materials are used as reference after training or to be used
to work through on their own.
 As information materials, printed materials are used to disseminate information
regarding school events or the likes.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Printed Media.

The Advantages of Printed media are:

1. Printed media can easily be transported and can be brought and placed anyway you go.
2. Printed media can be produced through the use of computers or handwritten.
3. Printed media is not expensive to generate especially if it is not done in color.
4. Printed media is the most commonly used media most students are familiar with.

The Disadvantage of Printed media are:

1. Since printed media is the most common, sometimes students fail to see the importance of
these media because of its lacks of sounds and animations.
2. Printed media can only convey verbal language and therefore it does not necessarily elicit
response from the reader.
3. Printed media needs time and to update. It is not very easy to update a book because it needs
preparation and development before it can reproduce another copy.

BOOKS OR TEXTBOOKS

Books are the oldest form and the most common form of print media used by the students. It is the best
source of knowledge and information.

FUNCTIONS OF A BOOK
1. The students gain the legacy of knowledge earned by those who came before [Beckert,1992].
Without books and textbooks, no education could have been possible.

2. It is used as a teaching aid. Teachers and students use this for their lessons as primary source of
information.

3. It provides entertainment.

TYPES OF BOOKS

Browsing books- are designed to catch the reader's eye then allow for random readings.

Continuous reading books- are the traditional textbooks uses by the students for the different subject
areas.

Reference books- are designed for easy retrieval of particular information.
