using advance organizers like Venn
Diagram and Cause & Effect Diagram;
and
3. appreciate the importance of graphic
organizers in understanding a text.
4. Questions:
1. What is the illustration all
about?
2. What kind of information is
presented?

6. 1. What is the information all
about?
2. What kind of information is
presented?
3. What do you call the
illustration?
4. How does the illustration help
you understand the idea
7. DISCUSSION
Advance or graphic organizers are
visual displays of key content
information to facilitate understanding
of ideas. Using them to present
information helps construct knowledge
for a better understanding of a text.
Using diagrams is among the most
common ways of organizing ideas and
concepts. Among them are the Venn
8. DISCUSSION
Venn Diagram is commonly used in
comparing and contrasting two or more
ideas, concepts, characters, places or
things. This is useful in showing
similarities and differences between or
among ideas or concepts presented. It
uses circles where the overlapping
portion contains the similarities while
those outside the overlapping section

10. DISCUSSION
Cause and Effect Diagram/ Organizer is
used to illustrate cause and effect
relationships. It is used to show why
something happens or explain the effects of
something. It can be presented using
different shapes and the connection between
ideas which can be indicated by the use of
lines and arrows. There are a lot of creative
ways in illustrating cause and effect
relationships depending on the concepts and

A. Read the text and answer the questions that
follow.
How Barangay Came to Be
An interesting discovery made in Butuan in the early seventies was
that of a fossilized balangay, which was a long sailing vessel in common use
throughout the Southeast Asian region in the pre-Spanish era. The barangay
as a form of government was believed to have originated from the balangay.
A balangay had a hundred households at the most. It was led by a
chieftain, called datu. Migrants from Malaysian and Indonesian Islands came
to our shores using the balangay. Once here, they formed their own
settlements, a cluster of which formed a single town ruled by a lakan or
sultan. A confederacy of several settlements would join forces in case of
aggression.
When the Spaniards came, they instituted the barangays as a form
of local government headed by a cabeza. The change from balangay to
barangay seemed to have been made by the Spaniards who could not
pronounce the nasal nga of the Filipinos and preferred the l to r. If the
balangays of old were meant to preserve the peaceful and harmonious
relationships between neighboring settlements, the Spanish barangays was
used as a local instrument ofthe central government to pursue its colonial
goals.

1. What is the article all about?
2. What do you think is the purpose of the
article?
3. What are the similarities and
differences among a cabeza, a datu and a
sultan?
4. Using a Venn diagram, compare and
contrast the Spanish barangay to the
balangay during the pre-Spanish era.
14. B. Read the paragraph and make your own
cause and effect diagram based on the text.
With Covid-19 pandemic becoming a threat to
human existence, major changes have occurred in
people’s daily lives. Face masks and sanitizers
