about the fifth skill?

Viewing is defined as an active process of attending and comprehending visual media, such as television,
advertising images, films, diagrams, symbols, photographs, videos, drama, drawings, sculpture, and paintings.

It is necessary to remember that the viewing process is just as crucial as the listening and reading processes.
You should be aware that effective, engaged viewers go through the following steps:

1. Pre-viewing - You prepare to view by activating your schema (the prior knowledge you bring to the study of
a topic or theme), anticipating a message, predicting, speculating, asking questions, and setting a purpose for
viewing.

2. During viewing - You view the visual text to understand the message by seeking and checking
understanding, making connections, making and confirming predictions and inferences, interpreting and
summarizing, pausing and reviewing, and analyzing and evaluating. Your understanding should be
monitored by connecting to your schema, questioning, and reflecting.

3. After viewing - You are given opportunities to respond to visual texts in an

intimate, critical, and creative way. You respond by reflecting, analyzing, evaluating, and creating.

ASSESSMENT
Read the following statements. Decide whether you agree or disagree on the given statements. Write A if you
agree and DA if you disagree. Write your answers on your notebook.
1. You gain expertise and skills for analyzing and evaluating visual texts and multimodal texts that use visuals

2. A multimodal text is one where the meaning is communicated by more than one mode – e.g., written text,
audio, still pictures, moving pictures, gesture, use of space, etc.
3. Digital multimodal texts can include, for example, theatre, storytelling, and dance.
4. Post-viewing prepares you to view by activating your schema, anticipating a message, predicting,
speculating, asking questions, and setting a purpose for viewing.
5. Viewing helps you build the expertise and skills to interpret and assess visual texts and interactive texts
that use visuals by slowing down, reflecting, and thinking about what you're seeing.

material given. 4. It is useful in any particular field and satisfies the needs of the user.

On the other hand, the ideas of the material presented possess truthfulness if they provide the
accurate information the material has, obtain the correct and appropriate data, come from a reliable source,
deliver with honesty and not contain any lies.

To verify how truthful the ideas are from any material or information, we need to:

1. Confirm the reliability of the source (online/printed). Do not rely on one source, instead, check other bases
or references.
2. Check the credibility and background of the persons/organizations/contributors of the ideas and
information and the one who finances them, especially a website.
3. Review the details and grammar of the content.
4. Choose reliable sources of content/material or research-based information.
5. Be cautious of clickbait/unbelievable headlines and persuasive/
influential content.
6. Look for experts with different perspectives.

There are various forms of lack of truthfulness. Here are some of its forms and categories:

Categories of Information Disorders A handbook by Claire Wardle and Hossein Derakhshan of unesco.org
highlights the following terms:

1. Misinformation - provides false connection or incorrect information and misleading content; information
that is false, but not created with the intention of causing harm (e.g. someone posting an article
containing now out of date information but not realizing it).
2. Disinformation - false context or false deliberately and often covertly spread (as by the planting of rumors)
in order to influence public opinion or obscure the truth, imposter content, manipulated and, fabricated
content; information that is false and deliberately created to harm a person, social group, organization or
country (e.g. a competitor purposely posting false statistics about your organization with an intent to discredit
you)
3. Mal-information - has some leaks, harassment, and hate speech; information that is based on reality, used
to inflict harm on a person, organization or country (e.g. someone using a picture of a dead child refugee (with
no context) in an effort to ignite hatred of a particular ethnic group they are against.

3
Determining the relevance and truthfulness of a material viewed or read is an important aspect to apply in our
daily activities where we are exposed to various information and materials online, from social media, television,
and many others. This makes any reader or viewer vigilant about accepting and recognizing the ideas from any
material viewed or read

ASSESSMENT
Directions: Determine whether the ideas of the material are relevant or irrelevant to the issues that we are
presently facing and verify if the ideas express truthfulness or not. Mark (✓) for relevant and truthful
ideas/information and (✘) for irrelevant and untruthful ones. Write your answers on your notebook.

Seven Types of Mis- and Disinformation

According to the First Draft’s Essential Guide to Understanding Information Disorder released in October
2019, here is a list to ponder before considering and confirming the truthfulness of any
material.

1. Satire or parody – If the article or material shows imitation and irony out of a certain topic or issue. It has
no intention to cause harm but it has the potential to fool.

For example: A 2019 case in the US involved a political consultant to Donald Trump who created a parody site
designed to look like Joe
Biden’s official website as the former vice-president was running to be the Democratic nominee for the 2020
presidential election.

x76701

2. False connection- When headlines, visuals, or captions don’t support the content.
For example, the headline says, “Man Tries to Hug a Wild Lion, You Won’t Believe What Happens Next! It
invites the readers to read the content or the viewers to watch the video but the details does not
support the headline but it is just for competition of viewers/readers which makes the reader or audience a
victim and feels that they are deceived.
Based from: https://ethicalmediatraining.eu/training/activities/media-disinformation/

3. Misleading content -When it uses misleading information to frame an issue or individual.

Example: The headline claiming that former President Benigno Aquino III was disappointed over a proposal to
change the name of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) into Manila International Airport was only
fake news. Fact check: Aquino has been mum about the proposal, even if an online petition, which was rolled
out on www.change.org last year,
had already received more than 39,000 supporters to rename NAIA.

man/

4. False context – When genuine content is shared with false contextual

information.
For example, doubtful URLs and websites that discuss personal and political issues of famous individuals. One
of the suggestions to check according to https://cnnphilippines.com/life/culture/politics/2017/10/12/fake-
news-anatomy.html is website: pepengscorer.blogspot.com which would challenge the viewers of how much
trust they would put in

5. Imposter content – When genuine sources are impersonated.

For example, the use of well-known logos or the news from established figures or journalists having the wrong
content or details of information.

6
6. Manipulated content – When genuine information or imagery is manipulated to deceive.
For example, the photos of famous celebrities are altered or changed like the face is attached to a different
body to look like the same person.

7. Fabricated content – New content is provided that is 100% false, designed to deceive and do harm.
For example, a false claim that a candidate for president is endorsed by a pope or an international
organization.

Specific Objectives

1. Enumerate the seven

types of Mis- and
Disinformation;
2. Provide examples for
each type of mis- and
disinformation; and
3. Give importance to In today’s society, we are often bombarded with a lot of information. Most of these are helpful, but
the relevance and there are some which may seem to be misleading or even utterly false. You should take into consideration the
truthfulness of the correct ways of analyzing or interpreting ideas presented in any material, either viewed or read. So, what are
ideas presented. the considerations you need to remember and understand?

A fact should be based on observation or research and it is not debatable since the information is
true.
Example: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.

An opinion is actually your assumption or personal view and it is debatable because an opinion is not
always true.
Example: For me, COVID-19 is enough to make anyone paranoid when in public places.

Facts and opinions help us determine how true a statement is. Thus, in any kind of article, facts and
opinions can be used in developing the paragraph to add details on the main point.

Another way of understanding an article is through identifying its main idea and important details
about it. It shows the relationship of the ideas to the
theme or main point of an article.

8
 Main idea is the most important thought about the topic. The topic is the person, place, thing, or idea
being written about.
Supporting details can be defined as additional information that explain, define, or prove an idea.
Example: Lenny is an excellent student. She is intelligent. She is responsible.
Lenny always does her homework, and she is never late for class. As a result of her hard work, Lenny is one of
the best students in school.

ASSESSMENT
Write FACT if the statement is based on truth or reality, and OPINION if it is based on personal belief,
understanding, thought, or feeling.
_____1. The announcer believes that knowledge is the beginning of wisdom.
_____2. Knowledge can come from different sources.
_____3. The tree of life grows and bears fruits of wisdom.
_____4. As far as I’m concerned, knowledge is power.
_____5. What I’d like to say is that knowledge is our wealth.
