Quarter 1 – Module 1:
Use Information in Everyday Life
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the English 10 Alternative Delivery Module (ADM) Module
1 entitled Use Information in Everyday Life!

This module was critically and thoughtfully crafted based on the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) set by the Department of
Education for Grade 10 learners to support teachers and facilitators in
teaching the needed academic competencies and objectives in these trying
times.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners and their parents
on how to use this module. This also follows that you need to keep an eye on
the learners’ progress by constantly giving them indirect feedbacks through
any means possible (text, call, chat, email, etc.) but still following the health
protocol. Adding to this, always remind the learners to use separate sheets of
paper or a labeled notebook in answering the varied activities presented in
this module. Furthermore, you are expected to assist and give positive
reinforcement to learners as they do the tasks at their own pace.

For the learner:

Hello, dear learners! We, your teachers and facilitators are pleased to
welcome you on the very first module for Quarter 1 entitled Use Information
in Everyday Life. Before you proceed to the succeeding pages, please take
some time to read these short but essential reminders for you to become well-
guided.

This learning material, in particular aims to develop your critical

thinking skills as you read various passages and integrate them to your daily
life, and at the same time answer the activities on your own while staying safe
at home.

As learners, you are expected to comprehend information to

productively answer the tasks in this module. Always remember to read first
the instructions in each task. Whenever you feel you are unsure with your
answers, reach out for help from your teacher and facilitator through any
means possible (text, call, chat, email, etc.) but still follow the health protocol.
Finally, answer all activities on a separate sheet of paper or a labeled notebook
intended for this module alone.

 Let Us Learn!

Welcome to the first module in English 10! As your teacher, I hope you
are doing great staying at home safe and sound.
News reports, speeches, informative talks, panel discussions, forums
and webinars are very important in everyday life. These may come from
different sources like watching news channels be it local, national or
international; attending meetings or ceremonies; streaming entertainment
programs like Ellen of USA or Magandang Buhay here in the Philippines; or
engaging to seminars, workshops or trainings and the latest trend, webinars
via various digital applications like the Zoom app.
Although not all of these will suit a person’s taste or liking, choosing
what source of information interests you will help you grow as a person
holistically. All these bases of meaningful data have one common goal: to
inform and add knowledge to the readers, audience and listeners and explain
it as clear as possible to be able to use and apply new insights in day to day
living. Whatever information you get from what you are watching, reading and
listening or getting into, make sure to use it in your advantage.

In this module, learners have the chance to read a wide variety of

informative passages with different genres in place. I hope you won’t get bored
but appreciate what this module brings to you.
In this self-engaging module, you being an active and engaging learner
is expected to:

 get information that can be used in everyday life from news reports,
speeches, informative talks, panel discussions, etc. (EN10LC-Ia-11.1);
 use textual aids in understanding the text better (EN10RC-Ia-2.15.2);
 determine how connected events contribute to the totality of a material
viewed (EN10VC-Ia-1.4/2.4);
 integrate the various information sources into your prior knowledge and
communicate with others effectively (EN10LC-Ia-11.1);
 respond to questions that reflect current issues of our country and the
world (EN10VC-Id-25);
 apply the various reading passages into your daily living (EN10LC-Ia-
11.1); and
 write your own essay regarding certain topics that matter today
(EN10WC-Ic-12.2).

Now, if you are ready, try to answer the short set of questions that follow just
to assess your prior knowledge about the content of this module. OOOPS! Read

Time is a crucial and essential element of life and work.

“Spend your time wisely,” so they say. Whatever we do in
our lives, time is always there – a present and existing
component that teaches us to maximize its advantage.
Time is very important in the line of work of journalists and
writers. News should be timely, relevant and always

5
updated to bring fresh information to the readers and viewers.
Take some time to read the elements of a news report and answer the activities
that follow after it.

News Reports
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. This is what it looks like:

Headline

Who What

When Where
Why

How

1. News Reports begin with a catchy HEADLINE.

2. The LEAD PARAGRAPH informs the reader of the most important aspects
of the story as soon as possible. The LEAD PARAGRAPH is often the only part
of the story that people read. Use the 5Ws rule:
• WHO (is involved)
• WHAT (took place)
• WHEN (did it take place)
• WHERE (did it take place)
• WHY (did it happen)
• HOW (did it happen) – only include this if there is space
3. The BODY of the News Report gives more details and provides more
information about the WHY and HOW of the story.
4. The TAIL contains the less important information which is often omitted by
the newspaper editor if there is not enough space left in the newspaper.

Here’s an example of a news report.

Duterte signs anti-terror bill into law
By: Darryl John Esguerra
July 03, 2020

MANILA, Philippines — Despite massive opposition, President Rodrigo Duterte

has signed the controversial anti-terror bill into law.

6
Presidential spokesman Harry Roque confirmed this in a text message to
INQUIRER.net on Friday.

The anti-terror bill seeks to strengthen the Human Security Act of 2007 and
criminalizes incitement of terrorism “by means of speeches, proclamations,
writings, emblems, banners or other representations.”

It also allows the detention of suspects for up to 24 days without charge and
empowers an anti-terrorism council to designate suspects or groups as
suspected terrorists who could be subjected to arrests and surveillance.

Duterte’s top military and security officials have cited the continuing threat
of terror groups in the country such as the Abu Sayyaf as the main reason for
the need for the law.

But lawyer groups, human rights advocates, and even some lawmakers have
opposed the bill which they feared could be used as a potential state weapon
against dissent.

Take a look on the details needed for the inverted pyramid.

Red Cross swab-tests marooned passengers at Manila port
By: Christia Marie Ramos
July 03, 2020

MANILA, Philippines — Locally-stranded individuals (LSIs) at the Manila

North Port were swab-tested for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) for
free by the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), its chairman said Friday.

“After seeing the current situation of our locally stranded individuals at the
Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) PMO-NCR North Port in Port Area in Manila,
we immediately instructed our staff to swab all of them for FREE to ensure
that they are safe from the virus,” PRC chairman Senator Richard Gordon
said in Facebook post.

“We also provided them with hygiene kits, conducted welfare activities and
installed tents as their temporary shelter,” Gordon added.

According to the Department of Transportation (DOTr), a total of 203 LSIs is

currently at the port area.

The LSIs, who are bound for Cebu, Bacolod, Butuan, Iloilo, Palawan, and
Dumaguete, are scheduled set to leave on July 12, the DOTr added.

On June 28, the government suspended the repatriation of LSIs to parts of

the Visayas for two weeks due to the rising number of its COVID-19 cases and
requests from some local government units.

The Philippines 38,805 confirmed COVID-19 cases as of Thursday afternoon.

Ten thousand six hundred seventy three patients have recovered, while 1,274
others have died.

Task 5. Winning Winfrey

Before you read, skim the following essay from the Biography Resource
Center, an online reference. Then read the essay and answer the questions
that follow it.
Oprah Winfrey: A Notable Success
Thought of as the "Queen of Talk" since the mid-1980s, she is the first
African American woman to host a national weekday talk show. In addition,
she is one of the richest and most powerful African American women in
America. Oprah Winfrey's life story makes her success notable.
Humble Beginnings. Winfrey was born January 29, 1954, on a farm in
Kosciusko, Mississippi. She is the product of a brief meeting between 20-year-
old Vernon Winfrey and 18-year-old Vernita Lee. Since her father was in the
service when she was born and her mother was eager to leave Mississippi,
Winfrey lived on the farm with her maternal grandparents until the age of six.
Her father apparently learned of her birth when he received a printed baby
announcement in the mail with a scribbled note: "Send clothes!" As a young
child, she was raised in the rural tradition, and she received whippings and
harsh chastisement as punishment for wrongdoing. At the age of six, she

9
moved to Milwaukee to live with her mother, who was working as a
housecleaner.
An Imaginative Child. RareIy at home because of work demands,
Vernita had a difficult time providing for the emotional needs of the intelligent,
high-spirited Winfrey. Several sources have relayed the creative ways Winfrey
tried to get her mother's attention. Once, her mother refused to buy her a new
pair of eyeglasses—claiming that she couldn't afford them. Winfrey then
staged a fake burglary at her home. She said that she had been knocked
unconscious, and during the ordeal her glasses had broken. Another time,
she ran away from home. While on the streets, she approached Aretha
Franklin's limousine and convinced the singer that she was an abandoned
child. Franklin is said to have given her $100. Winfrey's last antic involved
her frantic attempt to keep a stray puppy. She created a tale about the brave
puppy fending off robbers. She even added a bit of realism to the "scene" by
tossing her mother's jewelry out of the window.
Molested as a Child. At the age of nine, and for several years thereafter,
Winfrey was sexually abused by a teenaged cousin and then by other male
relatives and friends. She spoke openly about this on her talk show in 1991.
At that time, she offered support and showed empathy to guests and viewers
who had gone through similar painful experiences. In an article for Essence
she admitted that she couldn't free herself of the "shame" she felt until 1990,
when she finally admitted, "I was not responsible for the abuse." The
molestation Winfrey experienced in Milwaukee ended when, at the age of 14,
she went to live with her father in Nashville.
"Saved" by Father. While under the care of her father, she flourished
and honed many of her communication skills. Winfrey credits her father, and
the time she spent with him and his wife Zelma, for "saving" her. He
functioned as a strict and constant presence in her life. She told Jill Nelson
in an interview for Washington Post Magazine, "If I hadn't been sent to my
father, I would have gone in another direction. I could have made a good
criminal. I would have used these same instincts differently." "Winfrey’s life
under her father's care was purposeful and disciplined.
Spectacular Success. In January 1984, Winfrey took over the ailing
television talk show AM Chicago. She instantly turned it into a smash hit. Her
earthy and down-home style won her large audiences. In September of 1986,
the Oprah Winfrey Show made its national debut. Within five months, it was
the third-highest-rated show on television, behind the game shows Wheel of
Fortune and Jeopardy! In addition, her show was ranked the number-one talk
show. At that time, her show reached between 9 and 10 million people in 192
cities on a daily basis. Since then, Winfrey and her show have received many
Daytime Emmy awards. Winfrey's talent and energy have brought her success
in other areas as well. For one thing, she is a successful publisher. In 2001,
Book magazine named her among the ten most powerful people in publishing.

In this time, cellular phone is a basic need to keep a person informed of the
current events happening around him/her. It is a convenient way to know the
updates and latest information that matter without the hassle of opening the
TV or turning on the radio. Take some time to read the short passage about
cellular phones.
Cellular Phones
For most people, cell phones are a welcome addition to a busy, on-the-go
lifestyle. Cell phones offer many benefits. Because of wireless phones, parents
are more likely to keep up with their teenage children. Drivers faced with
roadside emergencies can reach help. Some cell phones even allow access to
e-mail and the Internet. This access helps workers stay in touch with their
offices. However, cell phones also present some real problems. Dialing while
driving takes attention from the road, and in an instant, a car can drift off the
road or into oncoming traffic. Talking while driving presents the same risk.
Surprising or bad news can cause the driver to think about the conversation

13
instead of the traffic. Finally, some experts fear cell phones because cell
phones use radio frequency waves. Experts question the safety of constantly
putting radio frequency waves close to the head. Overall, cell phones do create
immediate contact, but they may also present some risks.
1. What is your prior knowledge about the benefits of cell phones?
2. What is your prior knowledge about the dangers of cell phones?
3. What is your reaction to the information about the safety of using cell
phones?

Task 8. Phone Logo

Instructions: Based on the logo on the left, write the advantages of cellphones
in today’s setting. 1-2 sentences are enough per logo.

It is truly worth mentioning that the existence of smartphones really made our
lives convenient and happy. Isn’t it?

Below is an excerpt from the poem Solitude by Ella Wheeler Wilcox from her
collection, the Poems of Passion. Read and comprehend its meaning.

“Laugh, and the world laughs with you;

Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.”

― Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Poems of Passion

Try to ponder these thoughts…

Why is laughter a contagious emotion?

14
Why do we need to be happy rather than sad?
Do you believe that laughter is the best medicine? Why or why not?

Read the following passage about the benefits of humor and take note of the
words in bold letters. Then answer the questions that follow it.

THE HEALING POWER OF HUMOR

It may surprise you to learn that a good joke can do far more than just
"tickle your funny bone." In fact, studies have shown that humor and laughter
can improve your physical and mental health. The
proven benefits of laughter include stress
reduction, pain relief, an enhanced immune
system and a healthier outlook on life.
Laughter, like crying, is a form of catharsis.
It provides an outlet for you to relieve feelings of
stress and anxiety. Laughter can help "clear your
head," helping you to look at a situation from a new
angle.
Studies show that laughter provides many physiological benefits. It
causes a temporary increase in your heart rate and blood pressure, which
aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your entire body. Laughter can
also help relax tense muscles in your face, shoulders and torso, according to
Allen Klein, author of The Healing Power of Humor. And it exercises abdominal
muscles.
Laughter helps the body produce new immune cells faster. Klein also
believes that a boosted immune system will help you fight off many illnesses,
including colds, flu and even cancer.
Several studies have shown that exposing people to humorous
experiences greatly improves their ability to deal with pain. When you laugh,
Klein suggests, your brain releases endorphins—the body's natural pain
killers.
To fully gain the benefits of humor, you need to seek opportunities to
add humor to your life. Go see a funny movie. Watch your favorite sit-com;
grab the funny pages out of the Sunday paper, or make funny faces in the
mirror with your kids.

Day 4

Let Us Practice More

GENDER AND HOUSEWORK:

WHO DOES WHAT?
When it comes to housework, research consistently shows that wives
spend more time on these chores than husbands do—as much as five times
more hours per week, in fact. Of course, this may not seem unfair if spouses
are exchanging services according to the
traditional marriage contract: She does the
housework and he works in the paid labor
force for their financial support. However,
this arrangement applies to only a small
percentage of couples today.
Most married women, like their
husbands, are employed outside the home.
Although husbands in two-earner families
spend more time on housework than men
who are the only breadwinners, they still do

16
less than their wives. Husbands typically express a willingness to "help" their
wives with the housework, but even among two-earner couples, the commonly
held belief of both men and women is that housework is "women's work." This
is true no matter what other demands wives have on their time.
Interestingly, men are less tolerant of gender inequality in the
workplace than in their own homes. Consequently, employed wives end up
working what is called the "second shift." They are wage earners for part of
the day and then come home to still more, albeit unpaid, work.
In fact, if you ask full-time homemakers what kind of work they do, they
usually reply, "I don't work; I'm a housewife." This is a striking answer, for
housework, which is important and necessary work, is not considered real
work. Even the woman who is doing housework doesn't think of it as real
work. One reason housework is not considered real work is that it is
unspecialized, covering by some guesses more than eighty different tasks. It
is also never ending; in a sense, it is never fully finished. No sooner is a chore
completed than it must be done again. This is because housework produces
items and services for immediate consumption.
Another reason housework is not thought of as "real" work is that unlike
work in the paid labor force, there is no fixed work schedule for housework.
Homemakers rarely get time Off, not even holidays—who, for instance, cooks
those large holiday meals? Housework also differs from what we usually think
of as real work in that it is intertwined with love and feelings of care. It is also
privatized. We see people leaving their houses to go to work; we see them in
public on the job. But housework is done in isolation in the home, and much
of it is done when other family members are elsewhere.
And of course, one of the main reasons housework is not considered
real work is that it is unpaid. In a society such as ours, individuals’ status –
how much people are valued by others as well as by themselves – often is
measured by how much money they make.
- Renzetti & Curran, Women, Men, and
Society, 4th ed., pp. 164-65
Processing Questions:
1. In your family, who mostly stay in the house to do the house chores?

not?

Task 10. Is This Too Much to Ask?

Write a letter of gratitude to whoever is in charge of the house or commonly
known as housekeeper. State in your letter how thankful you are for keeping

the house clean, organized, and homey. If possible, hand him/her the letter
you wrote. Is this too much to ask? We hope it isn’t.

Have you tried lying in order to save other people? Read the following text and
discover the different types of lies.
Lies, Lies, Lies
Even the best of us find ourselves telling a lie. In fact, most of us have
probably told at least one of three types of lies. One kind of lie we tell is the

19
"white lie." We tell the white lie because we don't have faith in the person to
whom we lie. We do not believe that the person can bear
to hear the truth, so we spare feelings by lying. For
example, when we tell a friend she looks good when she
does not, we tell a white lie. Another kind of lie we tell is
the "face-saving lie." The reason behind this lie is our
need to look good to others and ourselves; low self-
esteem leads us to think that others shouldn't know
about our failure or that our best is not good enough. In
reality, when we tell a lie to make ourselves look good,
we lie to ourselves, and we may begin to believe our own lies. Exaggerating
work experience on a résumé is one example of a face-saving lie. A third kind
of lie is the "do-no-harm lie." We tell this lie when the truth could cause
devastating harm. The need to tell this lie arises during those rare times when
the truth could cost a life or damage mental health. For example, during World
War Il, the lives of many Jews were saved by people who lied to the Nazis so
that the Jews could escape.
Processing Questions:
1. What are the three types of lies?
2. Among the lies mentioned in the passage, which of those have you tried
doing before and why?
3. Why do we tell lies?
4. Is it inevitable that we really make and tell lies?
5. Can you give an instance where you told lie and why did you do it?

Task 12. Break Me Not

What promises will you write in order to stop telling lies and to always tell the
truth? Write your promise in your activity sheet.
