Overview
Welcome to this module!
In the previous lesson, you were brought to the world of research writing. Now, let’s
continue your journey. We have provided you with different tasks for you to have
meaningful learning. Similarly, this would help you develop your ability to gather
interesting and accurate information on any subject from a variety of sources. The
activities are based on the content and performance standards in the K-12
curriculum.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. Identify the different sources of information;

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the given information (EN10RC-IVe-15.1); and
3. Draw conclusions from the set of details (EN10RC-IVf-2.12).
Presentation
Let’s explore.
An information source is a person, thing, or place from which information
comes, arises, or is obtained. The source might then inform a person about something
or provide knowledge about a certain the topic.(Wikipedia, 2020).
Task 2: Complete Me! Supply the correct letters to complete the missing word
based on the meaning. The first and last letters are given as clues.

Concept Development
Information can come from virtually anywhere — media, blogs, personal experiences, books,
journal and magazine articles, expert opinions, encyclopedias, and web pages. Here are some
materials where we can get information.
● Books cover virtually any topic, fact or fiction. For research purposes, you will probably
be looking for books that synthesize all the information on one topic to support a particular
argument or thesis.
● Encyclopedias are collections of short, factual entries often written by different
contributors who are knowledgeable about the topic.
General encyclopedias provide concise overviews on a wide variety of topics. Subject

encyclopedias contain in-depth entries focusing on one field of study.
● A journal is a collection of articles usually written by scholars in an academic or

professional field.
● A magazine is a collection of articles and images about diverse topics of popular interest
and current events.
● A database contains citations of articles in magazines, journals, and newspapers. They
may also contain citations to podcasts, blogs, videos, and other media types. Some databases
contain abstracts or brief summaries of the articles, while other databases contain complete,
full-text articles.
● A newspaper is a collection of articles about current events usually published daily. Since
there is at least one in every city, it is a great source for local information.
● A library catalog is an organized and searchable collection of records of every item in a
library and can be found on the library home page. The catalog will point you to the location
of a particular source, or group of sources, that the library owns on your topic.
● The Web allows you to access most types of information on the Internet through a
browser. One of the main features of the Web is the ability to quickly link to other related
information. The Web contains information beyond plain text, including sounds, images, and
video.The important thing to do when using information on the Internet is to know how to
evaluate it Source: https://ufh.za.libguides.com/c.php?g=91523&p=590868

Generalization/Synthesis
By now, you have the idea of the different sources where you can get information to be used
in your research paper or other reports such as books, newspapers, journals, web, library
catalog, database, and magazines. Having knowledge on the type of sources will help you
access the information easily and will be able to give you more information to support your
claims and queries.
When you do research, you have to find the accurate information to support your ideas. This
requires careful evaluation of the information you found. We have to evaluate the information
to find the most relevant information for your topic and assignment, to ensure the quality and
reliability of your research, to find expert views, opinions, and research on your topic, and
finally to weed out unreliable, biased, outdated, and/or incorrect information.

A Movement of Change

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
TASK 4 READ AND MOVE!
Read the selection well and discover how the Chipko Movement became India’s tool
for ecological preservation and awareness.
The Chipko Movement

In the 1970s, organized resistance to the destruction of forests spread
throughout India and came to be known as Chipko Movement. The name of the
movement comes from the word “embrace,” as villagers hugged the trees and
prevented the contractors from felling them.
Not many people know that over the last few centuries, many communities in
India have helped save nature. One such is the Bishnoi community of Rajasthan. The
original “Chipko Movement” was started around 260 years back in the early part of the
18th century in Rajasthan by this community. A large group of them from 84 villages
led by a lady called Amrita Devi laid down their lives in an effort to protect the trees
from being felled on the orders of the Maharaja (King) of Jodhpur.
After this incident, the maharaja gave a firm royal decree preventing the cutting
of trees in all Bishnoi villages.
The success achieved by this protest led to similar protests in other parts of the
country. From their origins as a spontaneous protest against logging abuses in Uttar
Pradesh in the Himalayas, supporters of the Chipko movement mainly village women,
have successfully banned the felling of trees in some regions and influenced natural
resources policy in India. Dhoom Singh Negi, Bachni Devi, and many other village
women were the first to save trees by hugging them. They coined the slogan: “What
do the forests bear? Soil, water, and pure air.” The success of the Chipko Movement
in the hills saved thousands of trees from being felled.
Some other persons have also been involved in this movement and have given
it proper direction. Mr. Sunderlal Bahuguna, a Gandhian activist and philosopher,
whose appeal to Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then – Prime Minister of India, resulted in the
green-felling ban. Mr. Bahuguna coined the Chipko slogan: Ecology is a permanent
economy.” Mr. Chandi Prasad Bhatt is another leader of the Chipko Movement.
16
Words to Check:
A fact is something known to exist or to have happened, and it can be verified. A fact
may involve numbers, dates, testimonies, etc.
A belief is an opinion based on cultural or personal faith, morality, or values.
TASK 7 FACT OR BELIEF?
Distinguishing fact from belief is an important life skill you can easily learn by
simply verifying each given statement, whether it happened in the selection “The
Chipko Movement,” if it is then it’s a FACT. If not, it means it is just a BELIEF.
Accomplish the table below by placing a check mark (√) on the column it applies.
Defend your answer by telling why on the WHY column.
Statements Fact Belief Why

The term “Chipko” came from word
“embrace” because the villagers hugged
trees and prevented loggers from cutting
trees.
Bishnoi community is the first “Chipko
Movement” started around 260 years
back in the early part of the 18th century.
Mr. Bahuguna’s appeal to the prime
minister which resulted to green-felling
ban is an act of a weakling.
The success of the “Chipko Movement”
saved thousands of trees from being
felled.
The slogan: “Ecology is permanent
economy” was created by a Gandhian
activist and philosopher.

26
What Is It
Read the selection below and try to

ponder what is the importance of your role as
a youth in caring about our environment.
SHOULD CHILDREN CARE ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE?

Cristene is a young environmental advocate who’s on a mission to educate fellow
Filipino children on the causes and effects of climate change, as well as on the different
ways students like her can help protect the environment.
“We should take care of nature,” Cristene said in Filipino.“So that our environment
will be even more beautiful and clean.”
“I wish all schools can have plenty of trees,” she added. The classrooms in Cristene’s
school are small, but its gardens and open fields are huge. Here, children are free to run and
play in the grass.
Her school is also equipped with a solar panel, in an attempt to conserve energy.
Awareness, Action
The Earth has been growing warmer over the years, with humans sharing the blame
for its fast deterioration.
The Philippines is known for experiencing several typhoons each year; with the
impact of climate change, however, such extreme weather and climate events become more
intense. Stronger typhoons could mean worse flooding and larger damages.
Due to climate change, droughts can also worsen.
All these affect our livelihoods, safety, biodiversity, health, water and food security.
Food insecurity might not be immediately felt by all Filipino households, but those
dependent on small-scale farming or subsistence agriculture will be the first to experience
such shortages. Since environmental conditions make it harder for them to grow crops, they
will have less to eat and sell.
Cristene’s father is among them, “he works in the mountains,” the young girl said.
“We’re also experiencing more typhoons because people aren’t disposing their
garbage properly,” said Cristene. “And people cut down trees, without replacing them.”
As our carbon emissions grow and our environment becomes even more polluted,
the manifestations of climate change may worsen. And this is why we need to educate
children, as early as possible, on how to fight all these.
Cristene is among the students Save the Children trains on disaster preparedness
and climate change awareness.
“What we can do is segregate our waste,” the 5th grader suggested. “Let’s separate
trash that’s biodegradable and non-biodegradable, and those that are recyclable.”
“For example, we can recycle bottles and use them in planting vegetables,” she
continued. “And don’t throw your garbage in places other than trashcans. Also, if you’re
going to cut down trees, be sure to replace them.”
She also advises students to conserve energy by turning off faucets and unplugging
appliances when not in use. It's also helpful to put up waste segregation and recycling bins
at school.
Support our programs educating children on disaster preparedness and climate

change awareness.
Together, let’s empower more students like Cristine. Donate today, save lives!

Task 4: COLORING ACTIVITY

How do you achieve coherence in your paragraph? One way is by the use of
conjunctions or connectives. Using the paragraph you have written, color-code the
words and phrases that show various kinds of sentence relationship indicating
addition, result, comparison and contrast, time sequence, logical thinking or
distance. Use different colors for the different indicators.

Sample of a coherent paragraph:
(1)Throughout most of my school days my eyes failed to focus correctly when reading.
(2)Consequently, I saw different symbols every time I read a sentence. (3)As a result, the
printed page was a chaotic kaleidoscope of constantly changing letters that made no sense. (4)
For example, when reading the last sentence I would see: “A tters made sense,” or “As le ter
that made no ense,” or“Letters mad no sens,” depending on how my eyes focused on a
sentence.
(5)After my eye problem was corrected, my real problems began because it was assumed
that I could now read like everyone else. (6)This was a big mistake that overlooked the
psychological effects created by my visual disability. (7)Most importantly, I was left doubting
my understanding when reading unfamiliar material while teachers began to give me
increasingly complex material to read.

Lesson
Developing A Questionnaire
3 for Research
What Is It
Let’s discuss how to
develop a questionnaire for
your research
HOW TO DEVELOP A QUESTIONNAIRE FOR RESEARCH

1. Figure out what information you are trying to gather from this survey. What is
your main objective in doing the questionnaire? What information do you need
from the respondents in order to meet your objectives? Think of questions that
will address your objectives. You should not include any question that is not
directly useful to your research.
2. Write an introduction for your questionnaire. This should explain a little about
your questionnaire: why are you doing it and what is your goal. The
introduction, while brief, should engage your target audience. Think about
how much time they have, and administer the questionnaire based on that
estimate.
3. Use closed questions for questionnaire. A closed question is one that can be
answered with a word or a phrase. This makes it easy for the respondent to
32
give their answer without having to think of an articulate way to word it.
Closed questions also make classification of responses earlier.
4. Order your questions in a way that is meaningful and easy to follow. Start with
questions that are easy to understand and easy to answer. Opening with
harder questions is discouraging and may scare your respondents before they
complete your entire survey. Easy questions help encourage your participants
to finish answering. The questions should flow in an order that sounds natural
and does not skip around too much.
5. Put the more important questions at the beginning of your questionnaire.
Often, participants can lose interest on the latter part of the questionnaire,
especially if the survey is rather lengthy. Place more important questions in
the first part of the questionnaire.
6. Add a little variety to your questions. While closed questions are best for ease
of answering and analyzing purposes, adding in a couple of open-ended
questions helps keep respondents for becoming bored. Open-ended
questions require respondents to write out their answers and to include some
details.
What I Have Learned

Task 5: PICTURE WILL TELL
Study the picture given above. Then answer the questions below.
1. What did you see in the picture?
2. What social issue is it trying to present?
3. What specific question is being raised by this picture?
What I Can Do

good questionnaire, you are ready to make your
own about a local treasure or a heritage in the
community. You can use the template below as a
model for your work.

Lesson
4 Advocacy Campaign
What Is It
Let’s discuss what
an advocacy campaign is.
What is Advocacy Campaign?

• Advocacy is defined as an active support to an idea or a cause.
• Advocate is a person who speaks or writes in favor of an argument or a
cause.
o Planning for advocacy is often a complex activity because we have to
deal with power and opposition.
o An advocate will usually struggle over problems like lack of funds which
are the main barriers where other types of community development
projects are concerned. There are situations wherein the opponents
are well prepared for the battle and you need to out-plan them.
o You will need to create a plan based on your knowledge of who are
your opponents and who are those who can help you.
o To analyse this, think of the overall campaign as a building project:
▪ Your vision and mission is to provide a place to live that is
warm and safe
▪ Your objective is to build a house
▪ Your strategy will take the form of blueprints for the house
▪ Your action plan will include the specifics: who will pour
the concrete for the foundation, put up a frame, add the
roof, etc. and when will they do it.
▪ And all will go together as part of one big action plan.
▪ ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN OUTLINE
Conducting Advocacy Research

A. Gather initial information about a social problem or issue. This includes
beginning research to understand the problem.
B. Define the problem. Three step processes:
1) Become aware of the issue
2) Refine the problem within the small groups or organizational
context
3) Determine problem priorities
35
Develop the MISSION, GOALS and OBJECTIVES for the Campaign
A. The mission. The mission statement tells what the campaign is about. It
is a broad statement which provides general direction for
organization or task. group’s work (i.e., what the campaign is about)
(Stay Home - Stay Safe, End Corona Virus)
B. The goals. Goals provide a general direction and commitment to action,
but are rarely achieved, (e.g. to reduce tobacco advertising aimed
at minors, to improve nutrition in school lunches)
C. The objectives. Objectives are relevant, attainable, measurable, and time-
limited outcomes to be achieved.
Design the Advocacy Campaign

A. Determining community and system changes (i.e. new or modified
programs, policies, and practices) the group hopes to bring about.
Include the specific changes (e.g. new hiring policy) sought by the
Advocacy Campaign.
B. The action steps required (who will do what by when to bring about the
specific changes to be sought)
What I Have Learned
Task 5: MY V-O-S-A (VISION, OBJECTIVE, STRATEGIES, ACTION PLAN)

Create an advocacy plan using the following template:
• Your vision and mission is to provide a place for your family to live that is
healthy and safe.
• Your objective is to protect your family against corona virus infection.
• Your strategy will take the form of a table showing actions you will do to
achieve your goal.
• Your action plan will include the specifics:, what are the guidelines you will set
for the family members to follow, what are the roles of each member of the
family, how will you do your plan, when are you going to do your plan

Lesson
1 Conducting a Literature Review

Objective
• identify the qualities of a good literature review matrix.
Presentation
Task 2: ASSOCIATE ME
A. Using the graphic organizer below, fill in the circles with words you can associate
with literature review.
Concept Development
Let us discuss what literature review is. I want you to study carefully the discussion below.
A literature review or ‘review of related literature:

❖ It is part of the research that discusses published information in a particular subject
area.
❖ It provides the recap and re-organization of information, or it might also trace the
intellectual progress on the subject at hand.
❖ It evaluates the sources and advises the reader on the most pertinent or relevant
information.
Note: When there are plenty of authors who researched about the subject matter, you have to
create a graphic organizer to keep track of the different authors’ ideas. One of these graphic
organizers is the Literature Review Matrix.
Study the following characteristics of a good literature review matrix.
Qualities of a Good Literature Review Matrix
❖ Limitation. Good matrices limit the amount of information you have to work with to
write your paper. On your matrix take not only of the ideas that address your research question
which you will write at the top of your matrix as a reminder to keep yourself on track.
❖ Comparison. Labelling the ideas that pertain to your question so you can see where
author agree and disagree—and where other authors ignored an idea altogether.
❖ Discovery. You can anticipate what ideas will emerge and label those in advance of
your reading. What will you do with the ones mentioned by only one author? Are they worth
including as you attempt to provide a thorough answer to your question? How will you decide?
51
❖ Location. You will create a reference list as you read your articles. Keep track of
citations as you find the sources in electronic databases or in the Internet.
❖ Labelling. The names of the first authors of each study appear across the top of the
matrix. The names can easily be related to the full citation information.
❖ Note-taking. As you read the research, make brief notes in the blank cells about ideas
that address your research question. You can drop authors that provide little useful information
from your references. Keep adding and deleting sources until you see a pattern of ideas
emerging that will help you answer your research question.
❖ Expanding. Expand as you review more studies by adding pages.
Activities
Now that you have read about our lesson, let us check how much you understood our topic.
Task 3: INTERPRET ME
Write about your own interpretation of the qualities of a good literature review. Use the

how the topic builds upon previous works. Researchers must explicitly connect the existing
body of knowledge to the study that they want to complete.
Lesson
2 Formulating Thesis Statement
Objective
• formulate a thesis statement
Concept Development
What is a Thesis Statement?
● A thesis statement is a sentence used in an essay that serves as the guide for the

Another lesson is finished. Great job! Now it is time for
you to check on what you have learned from this lesson.
Assessment
Task 4: GOOD OR BAD THESIS
Tell whether the following statements are bad or good thesis statements. Write the word BAD
if it is not a good thesis statement and GOOD if it is the right one and explain why you say so.
Study the example given.
Example:
Everyone should exercise. BAD
Explanation: Why should I? What's in it for me?
Filipinos should add exercise to their daily morning routine because it not only
keeps their bodies at a healthy weight but also reduces the risk of high blood
pressure. GOOD
Explanation: Here, we've made several specifications i.e. Filipinos (not everyone), the
morning routine (not the evening), weight maintenance, and high blood pressure
prevention. Your research actually becomes easier when you have very specific
objectives.
1. High levels of alcohol consumption are bad for you.
High levels of alcohol consumption have detrimental effects on your personal health,
such as weight gain, heart disease, and liver complications.
2. Reading can develop a child's analytical mind.
Reading develops a child's mind by fostering comprehension skills, increasing vocabulary,

and exposing them to new worlds they might not otherwise encounter.
