MAKING CONNECTIONS
Lesson BETWEEN INFORMATION VIEWED
AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES

The usual four skills in teaching English are reading, writing, speaking,
and listening. In the K to 12 Curriculum, the fifth skill added was viewing
which uses visual arts. Now that we live in a visual world where images are
available in different platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram,

Twitter, etc., these contributed to the development of knowledge and skills,
gathering of information and making connections to personal experiences.
As a grade 6 pupil, you must learn how to analyze and evaluate visual
image – someone who makes meaningful connections between what is viewed
and experienced. This module would help you to become more effective,
active, interpretative viewer to be able to take part on what is happening
around you.
