What’s In
Activity 1: Thumbs-Up or Thumbs-Down?
Read the quote then answer the questions that follow. Write your answers in your notebook.
“Language may be a source of misunderstanding” by Marshall McLuchan,1964.
1. Does the receiver’s/audience’s personal background or experience affect the

interpretation of the message?
Our schema greatly affects what we think or how we interpret a message. A young person and
old person may have different understanding of a thing because of the gap in time.
2. Is it possible that different individuals interpret differently the message they both
received?
Yes, because people perceive things differently. We choose to select different aspects of a
message to focus our attention based on what interests us, what is familiar to us, or what we
consider important. Often, our listening skills could use improvement. Listening and thinking
are directly related.
3. Do you agree or disagree with the author? Express your answer by drawing the symbol
thumbs-up if you agree or draw the thumbs-down symbol if you disagree.
What’s New
Activity 2: Look Around Me
Directions: List down two (2) most commonly used signs and symbols and two (2) most
commonly misunderstood signs and symbols in the community.
Most Commonly Used Signs and Symbols

1. Pedestrian Crossing line
2. No U turn sign
Why are these symbols commonly used?

1. To know where are the right place to walk to, and to avoid danger.
2. For us to know that it's not a u-turning road plus there could be a possible danger if you
conduct the u turn.
Most Commonly Misunderstood Signs and Symbols

1. Traffic lights
2. Form one lane
Why are these symbols commonly misunderstood?

1. We all know that red signals stop and green go, however yellow can seem a little ambiguous.
If the lights turn yellow, it means you need to stop. However, you should not stop suddenly if
you feel you may cause an accident with the vehicle travelling behind you. Always allow
yourself enough time and distance to safely stop if you need to.
2. Forming one lane is a point of controversy for many drivers. Road rules dictate that when
lanes are reduced to form one, the vehicle which is travelling ahead is the one with the right of
way to go first. So, if you see a car with its nose ahead of yours, you should let it zip in front of
you. Keep in mind though, if the lane ends and you have to merge across lane lines, then this is
considered the same as changing lanes and you'll need to give way.
Recall your encounter/experience with signs, symbols, and signage using the guide questions
below:
1. How were you helped by the sign, symbol, signage that you followed?
The sign and symbol, signage the acts like a map. Example like we need to go somewhere,
symbol and signage will help and lead us to our destination.
We rely on symbols in almost all aspects of our everyday lives. We buy products marked
with symbols and labels to help us make choices about what to consume; we use stickers,
badges and other forms of markings to define our broader identities. This phenomenon is as
common for sport fans as it is for music enthusiasts. It is also extremely common in
different occupations, from forestry to engineering to the military.
2. How were you misled by the signs, symbols, signage that you followed?
A single sign might mean many things; but it might also be misleading or meaningless in a
specific context. On the other hand, when accumulated, signs can change our understanding of
what they represent or signify, especially if they add up to certain visual patterns or narratives
that can tell us stories we wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. They can help us define actors,
their roles and even their intentions. However, while it is fairly easy to find correlations
between various types of visual materials, correlation is not a proof or guarantee of causation.
You need to find multiple ways of verifying assumptions based on patterns, connections or
hidden meanings behind symbols and signs, especially in their original context.
What is It
(Facebook Symbol)
Answer the following questions:
1. What information do you get from the symbol?

Updates, News, and More
2. How is the symbol presented in terms of color, fonts, and design?

Design Elements of the Facebook Logo
As already mentioned, the blue and white color scheme was a purposeful choice based on Mark
Zuckerberg's vision condition. However, there's also some significance to the color scheme
itself as blue and white have long been used in combination to represent purity and optimism.
3. What if the color is changed into black, how would that affect the information that the
symbol is communicating?
Others may think that it’s just a website that is trying to fake and fool people.
What’s More: Activity 3 All Around Me
Your task is to identify five (5) signs or symbols in your community that are used to convey
information (ex. directions, locations, etc.) Give the meaning or purpose of each symbol. Write
your answer on the table provided for you.
Symbol Meaning/Purpose
No U turn symbol U-turn facilities are used as open areas for
two-way traffic flow on the road, often set at
the entrance of intersection or the middle of
road section. U-turn behaviors of vehicles
have significant impacts on the traffic
performances [1–5].
Slippery road sign The slippery road sign is a warning sign.
Slippery road signs are posted in areas where
a slippery condition might exist. Drivers
should use extreme caution and slow their
speed when the road is wet or icy. Avoid any
sudden changes in direction when conditions
are poor.
High Voltage This symbol indicates high voltage. It calls
your attention to items or operations that
could be dangerous to you and other persons
operation this equipment. This symbol is the
“Safety Alert Symbol.” It occurs with either of
two signal words: CAUTION or WARNING.
Male and female sign These symbols hanging or pasted on the
restroom doors but it really depends on the
store. It can also be seen in between of
creating your characters gender (in online
games).
Flammable sign The flame symbol means that a substance
presents a possible fire hazard. It could be
that the substance is just flammable, or it
may give off flammable gas. This would also
include substances that could ignite on their
own when exposed to either water or air, as
well as other types of fire-related dangers
1. How are the symbols usually presented?
A symbol is a mark, sign, or word that indicates, signifies, or is understood as representing an
idea, object, or relationship. Symbols allow people to go beyond what is known or seen by
creating linkages between otherwise very different concepts and experiences. All
communication (and data processing) is achieved through the use of symbols. Symbols take the
form of words, sounds, gestures, ideas, or visual images and are used to convey other ideas and
beliefs. For example, a red octagon is a common symbol for "STOP"; on maps, blue lines often
represent rivers; and a red rose often symbolizes love and compassion. Numerals are symbols
for numbers; letters of an alphabet may be symbols for certain phonemes; and personal names
are symbols representing individuals. The variable 'x', in a mathematical equation, may
symbolize the position of a particle in space.
2. How are these symbols presented in terms of fonts, images, colors, design and others?
Simple but has it own meaning and you will already understand it’s meaning once you look at it.
3. How important is using symbols to convey a message or information?
Symbols allow people to go beyond what is known or seen by creating linkages between
otherwise very different concepts and experiences. All communication (and data processing) is
achieved through the use of symbols.
