Lesson Predicting the Gist of the Material
Viewed Based on the Title, Pictures,
and Excerpts
What I Need to Know
Have you experienced reading the lines of your palm and predicting your future?
Would you believe a fortune teller predicting your future reading the images of her/his cards?
Did you go to a bookstore and buy a book because you lie the cover and the title?
Most of the time, a reader sees the title of a text, looks at a picture on the cover, or
reads the first line, prior knowledge from what they've learned and/or from life experiences is
used to make predictions. Predicting is an ongoing process that keeps the reader engaged
as he or she tries to figure out what is coming next by making new predictions. He or she is
also revising old predictions as more information is gathered. From beginning readers to
adults who've been reading the majority of their lives, predictions help keep readers focused
and motivated, and it shows that they understand what they are reading.
Making predictions when reading is an important reading comprehension strategy it
could hasten learners thinking skills. In this lesson, we will predict the gist of the material
viewed based on the title, pictures, and excerpts.
What’s New
More advanced readers make predictions very naturally before and during the
reading process, much like when someone watches a movie and keeps interrupting it to say
what they think will happen next. Now, let’s warm up by doing the activity below.
ACTIVITY 1: NAME IT
Directions: Look at the picture in column A and try to match the title and the passage in
column B.
COLUMN A COLUMN B

Lesson
1
13. 3
Effective readers use pictures, titles, headings, and text—as well as personal
experiences—to make predictions before they begin to read. Predicting involves thinking
ahead while reading and anticipating information and events in the text. After making
predictions, students can read through the text and refine, revise, and verify their predictions.
What’s New
In this activity, you are going to predict what happen in the story.
ACTIVITY 2: TELL ME!
Directions: Based on the title and pictures, predict the happenings in the story and the main
point of the material viewed.
Title: Outwitting a Crocodile
Text from the story:
"Thank you, Sang Buaya for helping me to cross the river. This is my new home."
"What do you mean? You tricked us to help you cross the river?" shouted Sang Buaya. He
was shocked. "There isn't any feast, is there?"

2. What I Can Do
We can predict outcome by using the events that happened in the story or situation.
We may also use the information from our experiences. Now, what you are going to do is to
look for magazines, books, newspaper or any reading materials. Post here the title, the
picture or text and make your prediction about it.

What’s In
Let’s connect what you have learned in the previous lesson with the new
lesson.
Activity 1: My Predictions
Directions: Read each statement carefully and predict what is most likely to
happen next.
Event What is most likely to happen next?
1. You realized that you forgot to wear
your face mask upon arriving at the
market.
2. Your neighbours start to take their
clothes from the washing line as the cold
wind and gray clouds slowly cover the
sky.
3. Your dogs at home start to bark at
someone at the gate.
What I Need to Know
In the digital boom where information is very accessible at one’s own time and
convenience, everyone is bombarded by multimedia such as movies, videos, television and
web series, video blogs, and pictures, that blurs our minds in filtering and analyzing whether
the contents of what we watch have positive or negative messages.
In this lesson, you will learn how to watch media in a new way and sharpen your
critical thinking skills to discern positive and negative messages from the materials viewed.
What’s New
Activity 2: Plus and Minus
Directions: Identify each picture by writing PLUS on the space provided if it denotes a
positive message and MINUS if it conveys a negative message. Then cite your reasons.

What Is It
Analyzing Visual Artifacts
An analysis of pictures, movies, documentaries, or any visual artifact requires focus
not about what the artifact is arguing but about how it is making that argument whether it
conveys a positive or negative message. Specifically, it seeks to develop a persuasive claim
as to how the artifact is designed to make a particular argument in relation to its authors and
audiences, messages and meanings, or representations and reality. The goal is not to talk
20. 10
about as many elements as possible but instead to focus on those elements you feel most
contribute to the artifact’s overall argument. (Source: https://rb.gy/vebtnn)
This strategy serves a guide in how to closely analyze images. By following the steps
in this image-analysis procedure, you will develop your critical thinking skills, enhance your
observation and interpretive skills, and develop your conceptual learning techniques. You
can use this strategy with any visual media, including a piece of art, photograph, political
cartoon, propaganda poster, or video clip. (Source: https://rb.gy/2qbyn9)
