IV. Learning Procedure

A. Reviewing Previous Lesson
Activity 1: Pick Me
DIRECTIONS: Choose the appropriate word in the box to compare and contrast
Facebook versus newspaper. Write your answer on a sheet of paper.

-printed publication
-easy to access
-provides news in print
-connect with friends
- gives information
 Have you answered correctly? My congratulations in advance! You have just
recalled the information you know about the newspaper and Facebook.
The words that you have selected from the box are descriptions about the two
sources of information- differences and similarities. You have actually compared
the two to organize its differences and similarities.
Read the next activity and I am sure you will learn more.

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

In your previous English lessons, you have learned about the types of informational
text or text structure. This helps you distinguish how the information is organized
in different text types like comparison-contrast and many more. Below is an
example illustration of compare-contrast through Venn Diagram.

The illustration above in the ‘A & B Different’ tells what is different or unlike
between two things. While the interconnected portion on marked word ‘Similar’
tells what is alike or the same between the two things.
Here is another example:
The encircled magazine and online news talk about the differences between the two.
On the other hand, encircled similarity talks about the same or alike qualities
of the compared sources of information.
Compare and contrasts are important skill in reading the viewed materials in us
daily lives because this can organize information. It can practice the use of critical
points of similarities and differences.
Did you understand how to compare and contrast? It is as easy as telling the
differences and similarities of each compared things.
I think you are now ready to learn more about the bigger picture of sources of
information. Remember when comparing
Let’s do the activity first before discussing the new lesson. Have fun!
C. Presenting examples or instances of the new lesson
DIRECTION: Classify the numbered words from the left circles according to sources of
information- Print, Online or Broadcast. Other words may have more than one answer.
Write your answer on a sheet of paper.
Now you know the basic classifications of the sources of information like the primary,
secondary and tertiary. It is interconnected to print, online and broadcast materials in
the real-life scenario.
Let’s find out deeper on the context of comparison and contrast (similarities and
differences) of print, online and broadcast materials.

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skill number 1

DIRECTIONS: Look at the pictures and study them. Then, tell their similarities and
differences by answering the questions asked. Write the letter or letters only. Write
your answer on a sheet of paper.

1. Which of these materials is accessible in many homes? a b c

2. Which material is disseminated easily using gadgets or appliances? a b c
3. Which material has a wide reach? a b c
4. Which material is expensive? a b c
5. What material is within reach to many and is cheaper? a b c
6. What material has a multi-sensory appeal? a b c
7. Which material is interactive? a b c
8. What material uses information from important to least details or inverted
pyramid? a b c
9. Which material is limited in pages? a b c
10. Which material is unlimited in pages? a b c

Are you done? You may have noticed that some of the questions have more than two
answers. If you have answered it correctly, congratulations! You have actually spotted
the similarities and differences of these materials.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skill number 2

If you have not spotted them, never worry because we are going to learn together.
Let’s study the illustration below. What are the characteristics of materials viewed in
print, broadcast and online?
In print resources, the reports and stories gathered are disseminated to the public
through newspapers and magazines. While facts gathered online, such as stories and
reports are channeled and distributed through the use of the internet. Broadcast, on
the other hand, creates a wider reach of audience since it can be transmitted over the
radio or television.
All the facts written inside the circular shape are the unique characteristics/differences
of the materials viewed. It also talks about its advantages and disadvantages. Further,
the rectangular box shows similarities of the print, online and broadcast media.

F. Developing Mastery
DIRECTION: Identify which material is described (based on the similarities or
differences given): print, online or broadcast. Write your answer on a sheet of paper.

___________1. It is easy to view anytime and anywhere using a mobile or computer

device.
___________2. It contains information, within 15-60 seconds channeled through radio
or television.
___________3. It reaches a wider audience and gives quick information.
___________4. It is accessible and cheaper.
___________5. The news is updated in real time through the internet.
___________6. Accurate and specific information can be reached at a click of a button.
___________7. It has unlimited pages.
___________8. Interaction is possible with readers through the comment section.
___________9. It has a multi-sensory appeal using audio and video components.
___________10. It entails monetary expense and has limited pages.

How do you find the activity? You may check your answers from the answer key. The
given characteristics of different materials viewed include the similarities and
differences of print, online and broadcast media. I hope you have identified them
correctly.
Now, we will move on to another activity that would measure the application of your
learning of the lesson to the real-life scenario. You can do this!

G. Making generalization and abstractions about the lesson

You are almost done! Here are the important points of the lesson that you should
remember.

given choices below.

Print Email sources Broadcast Online

There are three basic (1) __________ of information: print, broadcast and online
materials. (2) __________ materials consist of all written/printed materials.
(3) __________ materials, meanwhile, are resources transmitted to public through
radio and television. (4) __________ materials, on the other hand, are learning
resources that are made available online.
Since these sources of information are widely accessible, we need to examine whether it is
trustworthy so that we will not be misinformed. In order to do that, we need to compare and
contrast the other sources of information. Here’s the suggested steps to follow:

The things discussed above are the summary of important concepts in this
lesson. I hope you have read and comprehended well. I think you are now ready to
answer another activity. Just take your time and have fun learning!

G. Evaluating Learning
DIRECTIONS: Read and write the differences and similarities of the two sources from
news broadcast and online news. You may draw your own graphic organizer (Venn
diagram) on a separate sheet of paper as shown below.

Several hospitals full as COVID-19 surge continues for third straight day

(Read more: https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1538670/covid-surge-continues-several-hospitals-

full#ixzz7Hd8OVoWa)

MANILA, Philippines — For the third straight day, the number of new COVID-19 cases in the
country broke records after the Department of Health (DOH) on Monday reported 33,169
infections, the highest daily tally since the pandemic started two years ago.

The positivity rate was at 46 percent based on the 73,234 people who were tested on
Saturday, the DOH said. This did not include figures from 10 laboratories that failed to submit
their data to the COVID-19 Document Repository System.

The DOH said 18,535 or 56 percent of the new infections were in Metro Manila. Calabarzon
(Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon) and Central Luzon also reported big numbers of
new cases.

The country’s total caseload since the pandemic began was now 2,998,530.

Independent pandemic monitor Octa Research said the COVID-19 positivity rate in the
National Capital Region (NCR) has also increased.

“The positivity rate in the NCR is 50.5 percent as of Jan. 7, 2022, the first time it exceeded 50
percent in the NCR,” OCTA Research fellow Dr. Guido David said in a post on Twitter.

While he noted that this was too high, he said data from the DOH showed that the rate of
increase could be slowing down.

“If the increase in positivity rate is slowing down, then the peak in the NCR might occur within
the week. Let us hope that is the case,” he said.

With the increase in infections, calls received by the One Hospital Command Center have also
spiked to more than a thousand a day, according to the center’s operations manager, Dr.
Bernadette Velasco.

Launched in August 2020, the One Hospital Command Center is mandated to facilitate a
comprehensive and coordinated response to the pandemic by ensuring effective and efficient
health facility referral in Metro Manila and nearby areas.
Velasco said that in December last year, the country’s COVID-19 referral hotline received an
average of 150 to 200 calls a day.

“Since the start of the year, we saw a sudden increase in cases. We now receive more than
1,000 calls a day,” she said in a radio interview.

But Velasco said most of the calls, unlike during the height of the previous surge, were from
mild and asymptomatic patients.

Hospital occupancy
The surge in COVID-19 cases this year has filled many hospitals especially around Metro
Manila.

The Philippine General Hospital (PGH) has decided to temporarily close its outpatient
department for walk-in consultations and unscheduled face-to-face visits as the number of
health-care workers infected with COVID-19 in the facility continued to rise.

At the Laging Handa briefing, special adviser of the National Task Force Against COVID-19 Ted
Herbosa said that more than 500 doctors, nurses and medical technologists of PGH had tested
positive for COVID-19.

He said the COVID-19 wards in NCR were now 65-percent occupied.

Monday’s DOH bulletin showed that 38 percent of the country’s intensive care unit (ICU) beds
were occupied, while 41 percent of isolation beds and 17 percent of mechanical ventilators
were in use. In NCR, 52 percent of ICU beds, 54 percent of isolation beds and 25 percent of
the ventilators were in use.

Pasay City General Hospital, in an announcement on Jan. 5, said it reached its full capacity for
COVID-19 ICU beds, ward beds and emergency isolation rooms.

Ospital ng Muntinlupa has also reached its maximum capacity on Sunday, according to the
city’s public information office.

In San Juan City, the bed occupancy rate in Kalinga Center reached 115.24 percent, or 121 of
the 105 capacity. At the San Juan Medical Center, 56 beds out of the 75 available, or 74.66
percent, were occupied.

In the City of Manila, the six district hospitals reached more than half of their bed capacity for
COVID-19 cases. Ospital ng Maynila, Ospital ng Sampaloc, Justice Jose Abad Santos General
Hospital, Gat Andres Bonifacio Medical Center, Ospital ng Tondo and Sta. Ana Hospital have a
total of 494 COVID beds. As of Jan. 9, 251 of these, or 51 percent, were already occupied.
In two northern Manila hospitals, the number of infected health-care workers now far outpace
the number of sick nonmedical staff—an unprecedented new trend that showcased Omicron’s
contagiousness.

Fortunately, all of the health-care workers were vaccinated and thus exhibited only mild to
moderate symptoms, according to the spokespersons of East Avenue Medical Center in
Quezon City and Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium (Tala Hospital) in
Caloocan City.

New quarantine rule

Health-care workers, meanwhile, have also opposed the new government policy shortening
the isolation and quarantine protocols for medical workers with exposure to COVID-19 cases.

“[This] will pose further danger to the health and safety of health workers as well as the
patients. This will also further accelerate the proliferation and spread of infection,” the Alliance
of Health Workers (AHW) said in a statement.

The group said the new policy was “inhumane and unjust” to health workers who risk their
lives battling the infectious and deadly coronavirus.

The group stressed that health workers with high-risk exposure to COVID-19, with or without
symptoms, should be quarantined and undergo free, regular and mandatory reverse
transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test.

AHW called on the government to implement a mass hiring of regular health workers with
living wage, stressing that the solution to sustaining the country’s health-care capacity was by
preventing public hospitals from getting overwhelmed.

The Filipino Nurses United also criticized the new policy on quarantine and isolation for health-
care workers, stressing that it compromised their own health and safety.
