INSTANCES OF
NEW LESSON Acacia (Samanea Saman)

The Acacia with a scientific name Samanea


Saman is a well-known tree in the country. We call it
Akasya in tagalog and Ilocano and Rain Tree, False
powder puff, Monkey pod tree, Cow tamarind in
English. This native tree grows best in the lowlands
and naturally occurs on grasslands and deciduous
forests. It adapts to a wide range of soil types and well
suited for large public areas such as parks, school
grounds, vacant lots and found along roads. The bark
is gray, rough, and fissured in long plates or corky
ridges. The tiny flowers of samanea saman are
massed in pinkish head, white in lower half and
reddish above. Leaves are alternately arranged along
twigs and have a prominent swelling at the petiole
base. The pinna is bearing diamond-shaped leaflets,
shiny green above, dull and finely hair beneath.
Mature pods are black-brown, oblong, lumpy, straight
or slightly curved, filled with sticky, brownish pulp. A
decoction of the inner bark and fresh leaves is used for
diarrhea and constipation. The seeds are chewed for
sore throat.
A giant Acacia grows along the Batac-Paoay
road in the City of Batac, Ilocos Norte. It is found in
Barangay Quiling Sur, near Philippine Fiber Industry
Development Authority (PhilFIDA), in front of Servanes
Residence to be exact. The trunk of the tree is 1.6
meter in diameter at breast height (dbh) and the height
is 12 meter estimatedly. The tree itself is an amazing
sight, but the history of it is fascinating. It is said that
this Acacia Tree (Samanea Saman) was planted by
the kamineros (a word from the Spanish caminero

which means a road worker) around 1940. According


to Mrs. Placida N. Servanes, a 92-year-old who saw
the growing of the tree, the acacia tree had already
existed when she was 15 years old. The trees could
have been planted much earlier. The kamineros
planted the tree to serve as a shade for those who
want to rest specially those who travelled. A shade of
a tree is very important during the old days because
there were no vehicles yet, so they need a place to
rest while travelling.
The DENR never wants a tree to be cut down
unless it is absolutely necessary for public safety. The
DENR is issuing clearance and permit in accordance
with delineation of authority in the issuance of tree
cutting clearance and permits. In order to promote and
conserve the beauty of objects of scenic along public
places and help preserve cool, fresh and healthful
climate, it is the policy of the Government to cherish,
protect and conserve planted or growing trees, along
public roads and other public ground.
Large, old trees are very important because they
have stood through decades of history and because
they are greatly valued for the benefits they bring to
the communities. Streets, parks, playgrounds and
backyards are lined with trees that create a peaceful,
aesthetically pleasing environment.

D. DISCUSSING Concept Understanding on Visual Media


NEW CONCEPTS The human mind thinks in images, hence, the idiom,
AND PRACTICING seeing is believing.
NEW SKILLS Visuals are of different forms: advertisements,
cartoons, charts and tables, collages, comic books,
diagrams, dioramas, DVDs, graphs, icons, magazines,
maps, photos, signages, slideshows, storyboards, symbols,
timelines, videos, and websites. Visual elements include
line, symbol, color, gaze, framing, and social distance.
Visual media helps readers clarify and comprehend
information because they are able to develop their own
perception of the content and avoid misinterpretation. For
example, a video of an interview would be more
understandable than a written article because the viewers
are able to see the subject’s body language and hear the
intonations of their voice, where these details could be lost
in a written article.
Visual media can be used in almost any discipline to
enhance learning, both in class, and also for out-of-class
assignments. Short film and television clips, written articles,
and blog postings can be viewed to reinforce concepts and
spark discussion. They can be rich opportunities for
learners to develop communication skill, enrich learning in
sense experience, extend experience, encourage
participation, stimulate interest, and individualize
instructions.
On Visual Communication
Visual communication is the use of any image that
effectively conveys an idea. It can be a drawing, a poster, a

video, an advertisement, or any visual material you may find


online and across social media platforms. Visual images
include photo posts, viral videos, charts, infographics, and
any other piece of communication that utilizes signs and
symbols to deliver a message. The internet is populated
with visual content. From advertisements to personal
stories, everything is narrated with the use of visual media.
On Visual Literacy
According to Merriam-Webster, visual literacy is the
ability to recognize and understand ideas conveyed through
visible actions or images. From an educational institution's
standpoint, visual literacy is the ability to see, understand,
and ultimately communicate visually.
It is the ability of the learner to carefully scrutinize the
visual creation---with great curiosity, skepticism, and
analytical skills---and understand what the intended purpose
of the creation was from the standpoint of the maker.
Visualize yourself visiting an art gallery exhibit. Imagine two
groups of individual visitors: one group is passionate about
the arts; the other is just there for the opportunity to
socialize.
Those who are passionate about the arts would be
found standing close to a piece, steadily gazing and
inspecting the medium, the colors and deciphering the story
behind the work of art. The other group would simply end up
looking around and would be totally oblivious to the story
conveyed by the exhibit.
Visual literacy has everything to do with learning and
understanding a given message. It is a process of learning
that generates interest, curiosity, and passion over
something that is hidden in the visual creation. Visual
literacy speaks more of the hidden message behind the
visual piece. Visual literacy is an understanding of what is
not written, but what is presented using signs, symbols,
icons, and colors.
Importance of Visual Literacy
Visual literacy, otherwise known as visual skill, is the
foundation of learning. Children read pictures before they
master verbal skills.
Visual literacy allows individual learners to interpret
art and visual media as they come into contact with them. In
today's visual internet, visual literacy is a skill and a
necessary ability to decipher what is shared online and
distributed in any other form of visual media. A perfect
example of this are road and safety signs. When you learn
to drive, you are often given a set of local road signs and
safety booklets to memorize and know by heart.
Understanding these basic signs will help you greatly when
travelling or driving to another place, city, or country.
Though road and safety signs vary in presentation, their
meanings are universal. If you know how to read road signs
in your local area, then you can be confident that even if

you are new to a place, as long as you understand road


signs and safety, you will never get lost.
Visual literacy offers a deeper connection with all
kinds of texts and encourages analytical interpretations of
what is represented and their hidden meanings. It is a skill
that eliminates barriers to learning. See how nonverbal
speakers rely on images to convey their thoughts and
communicate with images.
An example of people with great visual literacy skills
are archaeologists, who rely on engraved drawings on
caves and stones to understand how the world worked long
before the modern era. Stories of ancient history made it to
our books and online media distribution databases because
there are highly skilled professionals who spent their life
understanding visual messages.
There is an undeniable evidence that learners
actually visualize what they are reading to get a better
understanding of what is being told in the text. It happens to
each and every one of us when we read something foreign
to our understanding: We paint the picture of what it is and
try to connect the visuals in our head.
Visual literacy guides consumers in their buying
decisions. Having an understanding of what emotions are
being evoked by a piece of visual advertising teaches
consumers to be careful and skeptical in advocating product
brands and company service advertisements.
