2 Types and Sources of Information

What’s In

Welcome friend! I am Justine, your new buddy and

guide in this lesson in English 6 Module.
Today, you will learn the different types and
sources of information and be able to classify them using
graphic organizers.
To help us get started with our lesson, let’s watch this
video about COVID-19. However, if you don’t have internet
access, please read the passage prepared for you.

OLIVE STAYS IN

One day, Olive’s school was closed. Olive was surprised because it didn’t seem
like there was anything wrong. Most of the kids were as the same as they had always
been – happy, healthy and having fun. They were studying asteroids at school, and
Olive liked asteroids.

8
 She couldn’t understand it when Mom and Dad told her that school was
closed. What did this mean? But now the school was closed, some other things were
closed too. Olive’s soccer games were cancelled. Her sports carnival was put off until
another day. It looked like things were going to be pretty boring here at home. Olive
sat by the window of her bedroom and looked outside.
The street seemed very empty, even though the sun was out. Olive’s parents
didn’t want her to play on the computer the whole day long, so they gave her some
math books, some pencils and paper. Olive didn’t feel like doing Math so she drew a
picture of how she was feeling instead. It was a little dark and cloudy. Maybe a little
sad, perhaps a little lonely. When dad saw the picture, he frowned. Then he sat down
beside Olive.

“What’s up?” he asked her.

Olive explained how she had heard that people all over the world were getting
sick. Was this why they were staying at home? Were they going to get sick too? Dad
gave her a hug.

“Some people are getting sick around the world, yes,” he said.

“But you are not staying at home because you’re going to get sick.
You’re staying at home so everyone can work together and try not to spread the
disease.”

“Spread the disease?” asked Olive. “How does going to school spread the
disease?”

“Going to school doesn’t spread the disease,” dad told her. “It’s just a
place where lots of people come together in a very small space. When we see lots of
people all at once, it’s easier for tiny little germs, viruses and bacteria to jump from
one person to another.”

Olive imagined what those tiny little creatures, bacteria and viruses look like.

“Are there any in my body right now?” she asked.

“Millions,” said daddy. “Some are good bacteria like bacteria in our stomach
which helps us digest food. Some don’t make us sick at all. But others can, and those
are the ones that we want to stop from spreading.”

Daddy continued, “when we are sick our bodies sometimes help those little
viruses and bacteria to go between people. When you sneeze, for example, it shoots
out the viruses or bacteria into the air, and if someone else comes along, they can
breathe it in. If your nose is running, the viruses and bacteria comes out of your
nose. If you blow your nose into a tissue, and someone else has to put the tissue in
the bin for you, the germs in the tissue can go from your nose to someone else’s
hands and can enter their body too.”

“But if they go from my body to someone else’s, does that mean I’m not sick
anymore?” Olive asked.

Dad shook his head. “The thing about germs is that while they are very tiny,
they like to multiply, which is when they can do their manage. They’re like guests at

9
a party who eat all the food and make a mess! And the best place for them to multiply
is in a nice warm body like yours or mine.”

“But if they are so small, how can we make sure they don’t travel between
people?” Olive asked.

“If we can’t see them, how can we keep them away? Are there any things they
don’t like?”

Dad answered, “The easiest thing is to wash your hands.” “Wash them every
time you come in from outside and wash them well. Washing your hands removes
those little germs and washes them down the sink”.

“Do you want to come now and I can show you how to wash your hands?”
asked dad. Olive said yes.

So, they went to the bathroom and washed their hands. They washed every
part of their hands with lots of soap and Dad made Olive sing Happy Birthday twice
while she did it.

“That’s how long you should wash your hands,” said Dad.

Olive giggled. It was fun singing while you washed your hands. “What else can
we do?” she asked Dad.

“Keep things clean whenever you can,” said Dad. “Tell someone if you feel sick
or a little bit hot. Cover your mouth when you cough. Make sure you do it into your
elbow instead of your hands and try not to touch your mouth, eyes or nose too much.
There are places where the germs can get into your body and multiply.” Dad added.

Dad further explained, “The good thing is that most people don’t get sick all
the time because our bodies have something called an immune system that is very
good at fighting all kinds of viruses and bacteria. It’s like a superhero inside our
bodies and you can make it stronger by eating good food, sleeping well and practicing
good hygiene. Even if you get sick, many people around the world are helping others
to get better. Doctors, nurses and hospitals all around the world are working hard
together to make sure that sick people have the best possible treatment.”

Olive was happy she talked to Dad. She had felt anxious when school had
closed, but now she knew why. She didn’t feel so scared or worried now. She was
happy to know that everyone was working together to try stop the germs from
spreading and that there were things she could do to help.”

“Come on,” said that. “Let’s do multiplication. That’s the only multiplication
we want in this house.” And so, they did.

Now that you are done watching the video/reading the

passage, it’s time for you to identify information presented in
the video/passage.

What Is It

The different sources of information are the Digital

and Non-Digital or Printed Information.
Digital Information are information gathered
through the use of media devices such as computers, radio,
television, cellular phones and other digital materials. While
Non-digital or printed information are information coming
from raw sources like newspapers, magazines, dictionaries,
books, journals and materials that are printed and
published by a certain group or company.

 What’s More

Look at the set of pictures below. It contains digital and non-digital sources of
information. Study it carefully and identify whether it is digital or non-digital sources
of information.
Directions: On the blank below each picture, write D if it is an example of DIGITAL
INFORMATION and ND if it is NON-DIGITAL.

What I Have Learned

Now that you have learned the different types and sources of information, let
us sum up your learnings by completing the statement below.

Direction: In your own understanding, define digital and non-digital sources of

information? Give five examples for each.

For me, digital source of information is ___________________________________

What I Can Do

Teacher Nica instructed her pupils to research about the latest

information on COVID-19. Neko, one of her pupils, find it hard as to where he
would get an information about it may it be digital or non-digital source of
information.

If you were to help Neko and opt to use digital source of information,
what could it be? Why? On the other hand, if you opt to use non-digital source
of information, what could it be also? Why?

If I were to help Neko, I would prefer _____________________________________
