 Target

An old saying tells “A picture is worth a thousand words”. When it comes

to reading and comprehension, this saying might be paraphrased, “a visual
display helps readers understand, organize, and remember some of those
thousand words (Duke and Pearson, 2002). It is true that visuals help us
comprehend the text better. The visual depicts what the text is all about thus
providing clues or hints to the reader regarding the idea of the text.

This lesson will serve as your guide in explaining visual-verbal

relationships illustrated by graphical elements found in expository texts.

Most Essential Learning Competency

Q2- Explain visual-verbal relationships illustrated in graphs, tables, and

information maps found in expository texts. (EN8SS-IIe-1.2)

As you go through the module, you are expected to:

1. identify what is an expository text and its features;

2. decode information illustrated by the graphical elements found in
an expository text;
3. explain visual-verbal relationships of the graphical elements found
in an expository text

Reading comprehension involves more than reading words. In school,

you read not just a story line or casual text, but also read for information that
is often dense or written in long passages. These texts that primarily convey
or report information are expository texts.

Expository text is a type of informational text that provides factual

information about a topic such as textbooks, manuals, and newspapers. This
type of text may contain graphical elements, e.g. tables, illustrations,
diagrams, graphs, and timelines.

FEATURES OF EXPOSITORY TEXTS

Expository texts differ greatly from narrative text in tone, style, structure,
and features.
1. Expository texts purvey a tone of authority, since the authors possess
authentic and accurate information on the subjects they write about.
(Fisher & Frey, 2008)

2. Expository text follows a style that is distinctly different from that of

narrative texts. It uses clear, focused language and moves from facts that
are general to specific and abstract to concrete.

3. Expository text utilizes specific structures to present and explain

information (Burke,2000) and the ability to recognize text structures
enhances one`s ability to comprehend and recall the information read.

Directions: Read and analyze the expository text below, then answer the
questions after that follow.
The Fragile State of Unemployed Youth During Covid-19
by Fritzie Rodriguez

The Covid-19 pandemic has put millions

of people worldwide out of work, paralyzing
both small businesses and big industries.
While we all fell this pain, one group in
particular is suffering in silence: young
workers.
Globally, over 1 in 6 young people have
stopped working since the onset of the Covid-
19 crisis as reported by the International Labor
Organization (ILO).
In the Philippines, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)
stated that at least 2.6 million workers have already been “temporarily or
permanently displaced” from their jobs.
DOLE estimates that around 5 million Filipinos would lose their jobs to
the pandemic.
While exact figures on youth unemployment resulting from the
pandemic are yet to be revealed, we can all agree that young Filipino workers
are not immune to the economic fall outs resulting from this generation`s
biggest health crisis.

LU_Q2_English8_Module1
 Expository texts may contain graphical elements to show visual-
verbal relationships. These can be in the form of the following:

GRAPHS
These are visuals that show relationships between data and are intended
to display and demonstrate trends, patterns and relationships between sets
of data.
Types:
A. Line Graph - illustrates
how related data
changes over a specific
period of time.

B. Bar Graph - offers a simple

way to compare numeric
values of any kind, which can
be horizontal or vertical. The
height or length of each bar
relates directly to its value.

C. Pictograph - uses pictures or symbols

which represents a certain number of items
to display data instead of bars.

D. Pie graph - a circular statistical graphic which

is divided into slices to illustrate numerical
proportion.

Directions: Read and understand the expository text. Complete the graphical
representation of the expository text below by filling in the boxes with the
correct information/data.
Classical Korean literature has its roots in traditional folk beliefs and folk
tales of the Korean peninsula. There are four major traditional poetic forms:
hyangga (native songs) ;byeolgok(special songs) or changga (long poems);
sijo(current melodies); and gasa (verses).
Korean prose literature can be divided into narratives, fiction, and literary
miscellany. Narratives include myths, legends, and folktales found in the written
records. Korean fiction can be classified in various ways. First, there is Korean
fiction written in Chinese and in Korean. Second, there are short works of one
volume, medium works, and long works of more than 10 volumes. Third, there
are works of yangban writers and of common writers. The literary miscellany
consists of random jottings by the yangban on four broad topics: history,
biography, autobiography, and poetic criticism.
