USING INFORMATION IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE
MELC 1 Q1. Use information from news reports,
speeches, informative talks, panel discussions, etc. in
everyday life.
First Quarter, Module 1
Objectives
1. identify the function of each type of exchange/conversation;
2. explain the different types of exchange/conversation;
3. note important details; and
4. use the information gathered from the exchanges in everyday life.
Different Sources of Information
News Report
• News is an oral or written report of the past, present or future event
in local, national or international environment. It answers the WHs
and H questions without embellishments.
• News Reports are found in newspapers and their purpose is to inform
readers of what is happening in the world around them. News reports
have a certain structure that you need to follow. This structure is
sometimes called the Inverted Pyramid.
News Report
https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1490274/deped-already-in-touch-with-
authorities-to-probe-online-kopyahan
• 1. What is the news all about?
• 2. Who are involved in the news report?
• 3. When and where did the news take place?
• 4. Why is the news important?
• 5. How do the people involve react to the news?
Informative Talk
• An informative speech is one that intends to educate the audience
about a given topic.
• The main purpose of an informative talk/speech is to provide
enlightenment regarding a specific topic we know nothing about.
• It may demonstrate how to use a new type of software, explain a new
concept in the field of science, describe an expedition an archeologist
took, or provide details about a person of interest that the audience
wants to learn more about.

Panel Discussion
• A panel discussion is a specific format used in a meeting, conference or
convention. It is a live or virtual discussion about a specific topic among a
selected group of panelists who share differing perspectives in front of a
large audience.
• The panel discussion is typically facilitated by a moderator who guides the
panel and the audience through the event.
• The panel, typically 3-4 experts or practitioners in the field, shares facts,
offers opinions and responds to audience questions either through questions
curated the moderator or taken from the audience directly.
• The panel session typically lasts for 60-90 minutes.
Panel Discussion
A panel is NOT:
A set of presentations, one after another. The panel format allows for a brief
introduction and then discussion among the panelists and audience. If most of the
panel agenda is centered around presenting information, then just give each
panelist a speaking slot with a Q&A after each speaker.
A one-on-one interview with each panelist. Many untrained moderators
simply ask questions of each panelist, one after another, rather than build the
dialogue into a conversation. Unless there is interplay among the panelists, have an
“up close and personal” interview with each speaker.
Just Q&A from the audience. When the focus is completely answering
audience’s questions, you have a forum or “town hall” meeting.
Example of a Panel Discussion
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfVxrtF8C88
Processing Questions:
• 1. What is the main topic of the panel discusssion?
• 2. Who is the moderator?
• 3. How many panelists are involved?
• 4. Why is the topic of the discussion relevant nowadays
How will you react if…
1. You read news that the
number of Covid-19 cases
in
your city upsurge. 2. You tuned in to the speech of
the president on updates about
the pandemic in the country.
3. You listened to the talk of
Dr
Francisco Duque III about
Covid-19 and its effects to
the
human body. 4. You watched the press
conference of the Inter-Agency
(IATF) of GCQ guidelines.
During this time of pandemic, how would you communicate
your thoughts on the following situations?
• Your have been reading a lot of fake news in social media.
• You have been reading a lot of bashing and hate post.
• You have watched several news on the continues increase of positive
COVID cases in the country.
Skimming, sometimes referred to as gist reading, means going
through the text to grasp the main idea. Here, the reader doesn’t
pronounce each and every word of the text but focuses their attention
on the main theme or the core of the text. Examples of skimming are
reading magazines or newspapers and searching for a name in a
telephone directory.
Scanning
• Here, the reader quickly scuttles across sentences to get to a
particular piece of information. Scanning involves the technique of
rejecting or ignoring irrelevant information from the text to locate a
specific piece of information.
Intensive Reading
• Intensive reading is far more time-consuming than skimming and
scanning as it needs the reader’s attention to detail. It involves close
reading that aims at the accuracy of comprehension. Here, the reader
has to understand the meaning of each and every word.
Extensive reading
• Extensive reading lays more emphasis on fluency and less on
accuracy. It usually involves reading for pleasure and is more of an
out-of-classroom activity. It is highly unlikely for readers to take up
the extensive reading of text they do not like.
