Activity 3: Observing the Text

Directions: Read the following selections, then answer the questions that follow.
(Reading Selection A) Obama: ‘There Were No Winners In This’ Government Shutdown

Hi everybody. This week, because Democrats and responsible Republicans came together, the government was
reopened, and the threat of default was removed from our economy.
There’s been a lot of discussion lately of the politics of this shutdown. But the truth is, there were no winners in
this. At a time when our economy needs more growth and more jobs, the manufactured crises of these last few weeks actually
harmed jobs and growth. And it’s understandable that your frustration with what goes on in Washington has never been
higher.
The way business is done in Washington has to change. Now that these clouds of crisis and uncertainty have lifted,
we need to focus on what the majority of Americans sent us here to do – grow the economy, create good jobs, strengthen the
middle class, lay the foundation for broad-based prosperity, and get our fiscal house in order for the long haul.
It won’t be easy. But we can make progress. Specifically, there are three places where I believe that Democrats and
Republicans can work together right away.
First, we should sit down and pursue a balanced approach to a responsible budget, one that grows our economy faster and shrinks
our long-term deficits further. There is no choice between growth and fiscal responsibility – we need both. So we’re making a serious
mistake if a budget doesn’t focus on what you’re focused on: creating more good jobs that pay better wages. If we’re going to free up
resources for the things that help us grow – education, infrastructure, research – we should cut what we don’t need, and close corporate tax
loopholes that don’t help create jobs. This shouldn’t be as difficult as it has been in past years. Remember, our deficits are shrinking – not
growing.
Second, we should finish the job of fixing our broken immigration system. There’s already a broad coalition across America
that’s behind this effort, from business leaders to faith leaders to law enforcement. It would grow our economy. It would PAGE
secure our\*borders.
The Senate has already passed a bill with strong bipartisan MERGEFORMAT
support. Now the House2 should,
| Page too. The majority of Americans thinks this is the
right thing to do. It can and should get done by the end of this year.
Third, we should pass a farm bill – one that America’s farmers and ranchers can depend on, one that protects vulnerable children
and adults in times of need, and one that gives rural communities opportunities to grow and the longer-term certainty they deserve.
We won’t suddenly agree on everything now that the cloud of crisis has passed. But we shouldn’t hold back on places where we
do agree, just because we don’t think it’s good politics, or just because the extremes in our parties don’t like compromise. I’ll look for
 A crown serves as part of an embraced identity. It is a badge of honor resting effortlessly amongst the highest point. My crown
happens to be thick, curly, and typically high maintenance. It barely reaches my shoulders and poofs in the damp Houston weather. My crown
is of course my textured mane, which I had to develop to appreciate and embrace like royalty. Black girls and women throughout the nation
are learning the history behind their hair, as they emulate hairstyles that showcase its stunning diversity.
As a young girl, I never understood the importance and the privileges behind hair, especially in the Black community.
The first time I was exposed to the identity of Black hair was after watching Chris Rock’s, documentary “Good Hair,” which
market of hair
addressed thevanity in the Black community. I began to chemically relax my hair shortly after watching the movie. Personally, I was
demanding
fascinated with the long straight strains that gracefully draped.
My fingers swept effortlessly through my relaxed crown. It enticed attention from other girls with crowns just alike. Young Black

Lydia Dillarda (TSU)
Black girl’s crown, especially after being plucked, burned and
teased. Though I enjoyed the stringy press, I forgot how my original curls laid after submitting to straight hair for so long.
While in high school, I stopped straightening my hair and began my natural hair journey. Now many other Black girls rock their
natural crown with honor. As society progresses, the standards for hair have changed. “I was told I’d never get a job on TV with natural
hair,” Winfrey said. She experimented with different hairstyles as she entered her career. However, Winfrey describes herself as a rebel. “I’m
at a point where I’m quite happy with my look,” she said.
Though Winfrey has faced obstacles with her hair, she doesn’t let her hair or people’s opinions define her. “It doesn’t necessarily
represent anything in particular,” she said. “It’s an extension of a piece of who I am.”
Overall, the rich history of Black hair tells a story that battled with fallen appreciation but has now resurfaced as a true embrace.
Whatever sits on top of a Black woman or man’s head, should represent power and respect . A true crown has no template or standard,
instead, it directly illustrates the beauty of its possessor.

 Many readers are under the impression that when reading a text, all the ideas and information presented are always correct. This impression
is not always true. Informational texts are based on the author’s ideas, beliefs, opinions or facts from reliable sources.
Authors present their ideas and support them with specific reasons and evidence to convince the reader. Thus, a reader should evaluate the
reasons and evidence before giving a judgment.
The information used by an author in giving his/her reasons or evidence can be classified according to:

1. Factual information are those that solely deal with facts. These are short, non-explanatory, and rarely give in-depth
background on a topic. These statements are also those that can be verified or proven to be true or false.
Factual information resources are found in encyclopedias, almanacs, government resources, or statistics.

Examples of Factual Information:

 The Philippines is a republic with a presidential form of government wherein power is equally divided among its three
branches.
 Philippines is an island country of Southeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean.
 Eighty percent (80%) of the 3,866 respondents aged 13-24 years had experienced some form of violence in their
lifetime.

In the activity earlier, reading text A is an example of text that uses factual information. In the address delivered by
then US President Barack Obama, he presented several issues to the American people. These issues are backed up with
reasons and evidence to convince his people.

2. Subjective content or information are those which come from only one point of view. It involves judgment, feeling,
opinion, intuition or emotion rather than factual information. Opinions are useful to persuade, but careful readers and
listeners will notice and demand evidence to back them up.
Reading text B is an example of texts that uses subjective information.
Subjective information resources are found in websites containing blogs or vlogs, social media, non-
scholarly books and journals or book reviews.

Examples of Subjective Information:

 “Beautiful Girls” was an entertaining show that should have never been canceled.
 Yellow is the best color among all the colors.
 Strawberries taste better than blueberries.

We need to analyze the type of information used by the author in giving reasons and evidence in his text to understand the
purpose of the text – to persuade, to inform or to entertain.

Text A. Duterte overturns task force decision to allow 10 to 14-year-olds outside

“Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte re-imposed the stay-at-home rules for 10 to 14-year-olds in the entire country, overturning
a unanimous decision of his pandemic task force to let the age group outside in hopes of spurring more economic activity. "Just to be sure,
and in our desire to protect our people, napilitan akong i-reimpose 'yung (I was forced to reimpose) 10 to 14 [year-old]," he said on Monday
night, January 25, after a meeting with task force officials in Davao City.
The President said the rule would stay until "everybody is safe by the bakuna (everybody is safe because of the vaccine)." It's fear
of the new COVID-19 variant observed in the United Kingdom that convinced Duterte to overturn his task force's move.”

Text B. Red is My Power Color
by Ei Mee Lat

I always choose to wear dresses that are in color red. I feel like I am in-charge of everything when I’m wearing them.
Combining the red dress with a red lipstick’s on can elevate my self-esteem. Using my black stiletto, makes a perfect combination
because it can also give accent to my beautiful red dress.
I believe that red is the most beautiful color among all the colors. It symbolizes power. I suggest that people who are losing
their self-esteem should wear outfits that are red in color because it will make them feel confident.

Background Information for Learners

What is visual-verbal relationship?

Visuals are considered to be things that can be seen, visible things other than
printed words that are used in a communication process. The term verbal applies to
written or spoken words. The natural tendency for visual and verbal components to be
mutually supportive has been called visual-verbal symbiosis. Visuals and verbals can be
combined in any ratio, and the ratio offers a way of establishing a typology of visual and
verbal relationships. Of the many media combinations that bring the visual and verbal
together, the most common are the printed page and the video screen. The outline
graphic is a particularly powerful form of visible language. Only a few of the relationships
between visual and verbal components are explored. These, however, illustrate that
ideas can be delivered with greater impact when visual and verbal components are
mutually supportive.

What is an expository text?

Expository texts, or informational texts, are non-fiction texts that give facts and
information about a topic.
Why do authors use graphics?
Authors include graphics to broaden understanding, so students must know how
to read and interpret them as they are essential aspects of understanding the material.

2. Charts, Graphs and Diagrams

Display of data in a meaningful and crisp manner with a visual representation of
values that allows the intended user to easily understand and analyze the data without
getting into the granular details of such data is the prime objective behind the concept of
using Graphs and Charts.
A chart is a type of representation of large sets of data, which makes the user
understands the same in a better manner, and by using the same helps in the prediction
of existing data and forecast future data based on the present data pattern. A chart can
take the form of a diagram or a picture or a graph. Datasets can be transformed into a
meaningful display of information using charts.
Graphs mainly focus on raw data and depict the trend overtime-related to such
data. A Graph is basically two-dimensional and shows the relationship between the data
through a line, curve, etc. using the horizontal line along the bottom (called X-axis) and
vertical line up the side (called Y-axis). As per the Advanced English Dictionary, “A Graph
is a mathematical diagram that shows the relationship between two or more sets of
numbers or measurements.”
What are the differences between charts and graphs?

 Source: https://www.wallstreetmojo.com/graphs-vs-charts/

A diagram is a symbolic representation of information using visualization

techniques. Diagrams have been used since ancient times on walls of caves, but became
more prevalent during the Enlightenment. Sometimes, the technique uses a three-
dimensional visualization which is then projected onto a two-dimensional surface. The
word graph is sometimes used as a synonym for diagram.

Main Types of Visual Representation:

Example:
a. Bar graphs are used to show
