Yes, Jeriel.

That’s correct. Thank you Jeriel. Okay,

our lesson last time was “How my brother

Yes, ma’am.

Okay, Very good, JP. Thank you. So is

everything clear class? Absolutely none, ma’am.

Are there other clarifications regarding

our lesson last meeting?

Yes, ma’am.
If none, we will now proceed to our new
topic. But before that, we will play a
game. Are you up for games class?

This game is very much familiar to you

class. Our game for today is “Bring me”
But to make it more engaging, we’ll add a
twist on it.

I have prepared a mystery box for you at

the back, containing the things that I will
command you to bring to me.

The mechanics of the game is you will

form a line, from the shortest to the
tallest student in your class. Then, last
player on the line will come near me and
pick a piece of paper here in the box.
The piece of paper contains the
instruction of what you should bring to
me. The representative will then relay the
message from one member to another
until the player in front gets the message. Yes, Ma’am.
The player in front will then look for the
exact things that is told to her and bring Yes, Ma’am.

ask the preceding player. You will be Yes, we are definitely ready, Ma’am.
given 5 minutes to complete all the task
here inside my box. Did I make myself
clear?

Are there questions regarding the

mechanics?

Are you ready Grade 10 progressive? Yes, Ma’am.

Now form your line and let our game

begin.

You all did a great job in our game today. Yes, Ma’am.
Everyone participated well and was really
determined to finish the task. Did you
have fun class?

That’s great. Everyone give yourselves 5

claps. Ready go! I think Ma’am, an obstacle that we had is
the ability to sequence and pass the

quite challenging. But all in all, it was a
fun game.
Okay class, while doing the activity, what
are the hardships and problems you
experienced to finish the task?

Can you share us your insights, Aisha.

The 5 macro-skills that one should

possess are listening, reading, viewing,
speaking and writing.

Thank you very much Aisha. Class,

Aisha made mention of one of the macro-
skills an individual should possess. What
are again the 5 macro-skills that we need
to possess? In the game that we had earlier, we used
our reading, listening, and speaking
Yes, Feby. skills.

Very good, that’s all correct. Now, in our

activity earlier, what are the macro-skills
that you used to accomplish the task?

Let’s have you again, King.

Exactly. Thank you, King. So our new

topic will be dealing with 3 of the macro-
skills mentioned earlier. Our lesson is all
about critical reading, listening, viewing
and affirmation and negation marks.
Yes, ma’am.
To start formally start our lesson, let me
ask you this que question for you to
answer later on as we discuss, “Why is
critical reading, listening, and viewing
important as an individual?”

I want to hear your answer, Feby. Ma’am they are important because
without having those ability, more time
and effort will be exerted in doing task
that needs the incorporation those skills.
Correct. Thank you Feby. It is important
to possess critical reading, viewing and
listening skills simply because without it, Yes, Ma’am.
we can never live a productive and
successful life may it be in our chosen
profession of our personal lives.

Okay, since our lesson would be more of

the 3 macro-skills that we mentioned
earlier, I have prepared here a video
regarding different social issues here in
the Philippines. Watch and listen
attentively for I will throw on some
questions after the video.
Did you understand the video, Class?

Okay, Aisha, what social issues in the

Philippines did the video presented? The video showed clips about the k-to12,
population inflation, lack of job
opportunities, inequality of rights and the
lavish war against drugs in the
Philippines.

How did you feel upon viewing and

listening in the video clip, Aisha? I felt sad for the kids that were supposed
to be given chance to go to school but
because of poverty, they are forced to
work in a very young age.

Thank you so much Aisha. Another, what

about you Jeriel? What did you feel after
the watching video?
I felt somewhat terrified in the current
situation of our country. Difference social
issues arising and not being cured
makes me feel sorry for our motherland.

Very good, thank you Jeriel.

So later, we will incorporate our lesson to

the activities we had earlier. I have
prepared here a printed material that we
will discuss because some of the ideas
here came from other resources and not
present in your book so there’s no need
to jot down notes from the Presentation.

I have a question for you class, who

among you are visual learners or those
who learns best when a picture or visual
representation is present?

What about auditory learners or those

who learn better when they actually hear
what is being taught?

Lastly, who are experiential learners who

learns more when they experience doing
the things learned hand on? In this
lesson, you will be able to strengthen
your learning abilities through understand
more of critical utilization of such skills.

At this juncture, we’ll discuss critical

reading, listening, and viewing. These
three macro-skills are considered as
passive skills because the person doing
the action is just taking information and
not giving a feedback about what he
received.

So first, let’s have the critical reading.

Everybody read what Critical Reading is. Critical reading is the process of
analysing, synthesizing and evaluating a
text.

Now, who among you have Facebook,

Instagram or Twitter account here?

Okay everyone seems to be a social

media savvy. How do you react class,
whenever you ran across the so-called
“fake news”? How do you distinguish
whether a text you are reading is legit
and reliable?

Okay, JP.

That’s impressive! Thank you, JP. What

about you, King? Whenever I encounter a fake news in the
internet especially in Facebook, I am
checking the source or the author of the
article if he has a good and reliable
background.

Now that’s a great validation strategy.

Thank you, King. Ma’am, I am very much keen in
observing the grammar construction and
the content itself if it’s believable or not.
 Also, I opt to check other sources with
valid track record of newsfeeds.

There are times that when we read, we

tend to forget checking important things
that may lead us believing false texts. To
help us aid our critical reading, we can
use a tool called Reading Journal.

Are you familiar of a reading journal? Or

is there someone using a reading to jot
down notes from the article or text you
read?

Very good.

So, a reading journal is of course from

the term itself, is a journal for reading.
What then, is the content or how do we
utilize in a reading journal?

First, read and understand the reading

material first hand, nevertheless, we
won’t be able to use the reading journal
right?
Highlight or keep track of important
What’s the next one, everybody read. messages.

Highlighting or keeping track of important

messages is also a must when having a
reading journal. What comes after the
tracking of important messages is writing
the initial reaction to the selection. As
you can see, while we are having the
reading journal, we do not only practice
our reading skills but also our writing
skills. As we utilize our reading journal,
we are able to keeps track also of our
writing abilities which is like hitting two
birds in one stone.

Number 4 is somewhat like number 3

also. You will have to justify and write
why you like or dislike the text you read
and the most essential step in making
the reading journal is of course relating
your personal experiences in the text you
read through identifying its theme.

Why do you think we need to relate the

text we read in our experiences?
I want to hear your stand, Aisha.
We need to relate our own experiences
because it helps us understand and
retain the message of the text even more
if we can relate and have experience of it
or what we call the personal attachment
to the text we read.

Very well said Aisha. Relating the text,

we read in our experiences also makes
our reading more fun and engaging than Yes, Ma’am, we do agree on your notion.
those of we see no connection or
relevance to our lives, don’t we?

Now we have here some templates for

you to begin in your journal writing. We
have I enjoyed reading this selection
because, I did not quite enjoy reading
this section because, I can relate well
with the selection because and the like.
So later in your paper works, you’ll be
able to apply those statements.

Here, we have two types of reading. First

is active reading and the second one is
passive reading. Active reading is more
like a discussion between you and the
material, and therefore involves repeated
questioning, critiquing, re-examination
and development of ideas.

The second type of reading, the passive

reading is just simply reading a text or
material for the sake of knowing what it
is. Looking at the definition of passive
and active reading, which one do you
think can be associated with critical
reading? I think it’s the active reading Ma’am
because it equates the idea of critical
Okay JP, which one could be associated reading wherein it is reading beyond the
with critical reading? surface text.

Exactly. Thank you JP. Active reading

and critical reading are somewhat
associated with each other simply
because they both aim to deepen the
understanding of a text being read.

How do we determine if our reading style

is critical or not? So, critical reading, the
reading process should be active, target
to know the what, how and why
questions, feeds the reader scepticism
and the text being read is purposeful.
What else? Can you give examples that’s We are doing critical reading if we are
not in the hand outs or based on your checking the validity of the articles being
experiences? read and also if we are able to grasp its
relevance in our daily lives.
King, kindly give an example.

That’s right. Again, the main essence of

having critical reading is to be able to
utilize what we read in our daily lives.
That’s a good example, King.

Now that we know how to distinguish if

it’s a critical reading, what about
distinguishing the non-critical reading?

A non-critical reader is more likely

passive, gets only facts, gullible and
reactive. It is the complete opposite of
the critical reading wherein the reader
just reads the text without necessarily
getting what’s the deeper catch within the
text itself.

Under the critical reading, we have the

Expressions of agreement and
disagreement. After reading a text, we
may agree or disagree to what is being
imposed by the text.

For example, I have here a passage in

one of President Rodrigo Duterte’s We in government talk too much, act too
speech and you guys will give your little and too slow.
reaction upon reading the passage.

Everybody read the passage. I strongly agree Ma’am. The words

coming from his own mouth made me
more sceptical. Our government system
is literally taking its toll for the late actions
Now Aisha, do you agree on this in societal problems.
Statement or do you disagree?

Okay good. Class, Aisha used the

statement, I strongly agree in her
statement. Some other similar terms like
the one she used are I am of the same
opinion, I agree with you entirely, I totally
agree, and the likes.

As for the disagreement, we have the

counterparts of the agreement markers
which are I beg to disagree, I don’t think
so, I strongly disagree and so on.

What about if you are unsure of what

side to take? Do we also have markers
for instances like that? Definite, Yes. You
can use the neutral markers such as
somehow, and slightly.

need to think on how to agree, disagree No man is an island. For the agreeing

Thank you Feby. Also give Feby 3 claps, None, ma’am. We understood the lesson
ready go! well.

Now we’re done with Expression of

agreement and disagreement. Do you
have any questions so far?

Impressive. If you have no questions,

let’s proceed to the next aid to critical
reading which is using Direct Quotation.

On the process of critical reading, we

sometimes look for justifications of our
arguments, ideas and comments reading
the text read. A good way to present
clear ideas and support to your
arguments is to take some direct
quotation from the selection and weight
out the ideas embedded in it.

Okay, these statement here are example

of Direct quotation. Let me read it one by
one.

“But does she even see your worth?” she

asked.
Lily asked her cousin, “Are you pertaining
to me?”
“Where do you think you’re going?”

Okay class, when we construct direct

quotations like that, we should follow
several rules in order to make a correct
quotation statement.

First one, quotation marks are used for

direct quotation.
In our example in your book, “You love
Nagrebcan, don’t you Noel?” The
statement that Maria uttered was
enclosed into a quotation marks.
Next The first word of a quoted statement
is capitalized.
Again from your book, the example given
is, “Without waiting for me to answer, he
turned to her and said, “Maria, why do
you think Father should do that, now?”

Even though the statement is just a part

of the whole sentence, since it is
enclosed with the quotation mark, It
should start with a capital letter like that.
The letter W is capitalized. Commas are used to introduce or
interrupt direct quotation.
What is the next rule, JP? Kindly give
Your own example using the example in “I guess it’ll rain after all”, Jodi said, as
your book as a reference and write it on she sat under the tree.
the board.

Yes, Ma’am.
Is the example of JP correct?

Okay, that is correct. Give 3 claps for JP.

Now let’s have the fourth one, the

question mark is placed inside that
quotation marks if the question is within
the quoted material.

You know what class, this fourth rule is

the most disobeyed rule in using the
quotation mark. I would like to share you
my experience in dealing with that rule
because I’m pretty much sure that you
also have committed this sin in using the
quotation mark. If my memory serves me
right, way back in third year high school,
when I joined a short making contest in
our school, the judges of the contest
literally wrote a note behind the pages of Yes, Ma’am.
my entry that I should study on how to
use quotation mark properly, which is
kind of embarrassing for me. You see,
little things like this make a big difference
in the sentence construction. Are you
with me?

Okay, for the last rule in using the

quotation mark, the question mark
replaces the comma if the quoted
question ends in the midsentence. What
does that mean?

In the example given on your book, “Why

does he make that sound?” she asked.
Yes, Ma’am.
Instead of putting a comma after the
quoted statement, you will only have the
question mark to replace the comma.

Do you understand the 5 rules in using a Yes, Ma’am. We understood the lesson
quotation mark? well.
Are you sure? You need to understand
them well in order to pass in my quiz
after the lesson.

Let’s have the last part for the critical

reading which is the Characteristics of
Critical Reader. Ma’am, I think being an honest critical
reader in a way that the reader admits if
Let’s have a self-assessment whether we he understood or did not get the text that

readers are honest with their selves.

Honest in what extent, Aisha?

Very good. A critical reader should be

honest and is ready to accept space for
improvements.

Next, A critical reader should resist

manipulation. This simply means that a
critical reader is not gullible and is able to
discern what is reliable and what is not.
Yes, Ma’am.
So those who believes in fake news are
not Critical readers. Just kidding. Not all
of them of course. There will always be

You are correct. A critical reader also They base judgments on evidence.
knows how to distinguish which is the
right argument through weighing own
knowledge and ideas fed by the other
materials he read.

Okay, last but not the least, everybody

read.

Absolutely. A critical reader always

discern things not only by fact and
theories but through actual evidences of
validity of their ideas.

Again the four characteristics of a critical The four characteristics of a critical

reader are he should be honest, he could reader are he should be honest, he could
resist manipulation, he could overcome resist manipulation, he could overcome
confusion and he base judgments on confusion and he base judgments on

Can you recapitulate the four

characteristics that I enumerated, King?

The difference between reading and

What do you think is the difference of the

two, Feby?

Okay very good Feby. Reading and

viewing, although sometimes they are
inseparable, especially in watching
movies with subtitles, they have a big
difference with each other. Reading is
more on syntax and semantics of letters,
words and text while viewing is
interpreting and meaning making of a
visual image.

What is then meant by critical viewing?

Just like critical reading, critical viewing is Viewing complements listening because
the process of comprehending visual often times that when we view
images and is complemented by something, we understand what we

it.
Let’s have the statement, “viewing is
complemented with listening”, why do
you think viewing complements listening,
Aisha?

Okay good. Thank you, Aisha.

Class, when we talk about viewing, it’s

not just simply looking or seeing visual
representations or materials, it is being
able to understand it deepest meaning
and being able to sink in its message and
content in our cognitive aspect.

Let’s proceed in the critical viewing

principles.

First, Understanding and Interpretation.

The student understands and interprets
visual images.

As I said a while ago, viewing is more

than seeing the actual material. It is
about how you analyse and see the
material and what it brings you seeing Ma’am that is viewing.
the material.

For example, I will state some scenarios It’s not viewing Ma’am.
and you will tell me if those scenarios are
viewing or not.
It’s not viewing Ma’am because I just saw

You went to the rooftop and saw a sketch
of a girl in a paper.

Why is it not categorized as viewing,

Jeriel?
The student analyses and critiques the
significance of visual images, messages,
and meaning.

Correct. Thank you Jeriel.

Now let’s have Analyzing and critiquing.

Read the principle, Feby.

Thank you, Feby, Listen here class, this

principle is the core essence of viewing;
it is the ability to analyse and critique a
material presented beyond the surface
level. Critical Viewing, therefore is a vital
skill for learners to draw valid and sound
judgments and conclusions in the
materials that they viewed practicing
them to use their higher order thinking
skills.

Class take note of that; Viewing allows Everyone can hear the sadness in his

order thinking skills that will definitely
help you to see the world in a more
productive perspective.
For me it means that many people can

human enough to listen and help.
Meaning, hearing is just the ability to

and listening is being able to understand,
interpret and react to what he hears.
What does that quotation imply to you
and how can you differ hearing from
listening, King?

That’s a nice reflection, King. Thank you.
Class, imagine a life where we cannot
hear anything. It’s hard right?
Critical listening is the active process of
receiving, analysing, and interpreting
information from a listening material.

Okay, what do we mean by critical

listening?

Kindly read it Aisha.

Thank you, Aisha. Now class, critical

listening, if we are to study the terms, it’s
quite redundant because listening itself
means having a deep understanding of a
listening material and being able to
understand what is inflicts.

It says here that critical listeners uses

more than one listening strategy to
effectively extract meaning from an audio
material.

The following are the different listening

strategies starting off with predicting. In
the process of listening there are
instances that before the actual material
is played, we get to predict what the
audio material will be all about. For
example, JP attended a youth assembly
regarding religious faith and services.
Before JP even go to the assembly, he
already have predictions of things to be
discussed in the said assembly and form
ideas in his mind.

Next we have Listening for main idea. In

listening for main idea. The process of
listening won’t be categorized as
listening without this aspect. Listening
will always be about understanding what
the speaker inflicts or intends to say.

Then we have listening for specific

details. This strategy is a must-do
especially during conferences. You
should of course have adequate
background about the topic to be
discussed.

Fourth one is drawing inferences. In

drawing inferences, you are going to dig
deeper on the way the speaker
presented or said the things he is
discussing. Inference means observing
even the smallest gestures and the way
the speaker delivered what he said.
And last but not the least, Summarizing. discussed.
Why is it important to summarize what
we listened to?
Ma’am simply because it will be the proof
of our understanding of what we have
listened to and gives us clearer picture of
that the speaker said was all about;
putting pieces and chunks together to
make one whole idea of the topic being

Why is it important, JP?

Well said, JP.

Summarizing class, simply means that

you will shorten and generalize all of the
ideas that were presented by a speaker Yes, Ma’am.
or an audio material.
The 3 passive macro-skills that we had
are critical reading, listening and viewing.
Okay class, let’s have a quick review of
all our topic, again what are the three None Ma’am.
passive macro-skills that we had?

Correct.
What are those, Aisha?
So that covers our topics. Did you
understand our lesson class?

Do you have further questions regarding

our topic?

That’s good to hear. If there are no other

questions, we will now proceed to our
activity.

Your task is to present a role play either

about critical reading, listening and
viewing. You will present as a group
