What’s in
Previously, you learned about using information from news reports, speeches, or
panel discussions that will help you in your everyday life aside from getting informed
thru your different social media accounts.
In today’s journey, your attention will be focused on textual aids and some types of
graphic organizers that you can use to present information. These will be great
contributory factors in understanding the variety of materials- whether you will read,
listen to, or view them. Have fun learning!

What Is It
For sure you already have an idea that you have actually been using graphic
organizers in almost all your subjects in various ways. This time, let’s find out some
more about them.
Textual Aids are visual elements that appear on a page that stand out from the
main text. They include titles, bold or italic print, diagrams, maps, tables and charts.
Graphic organizers refer to textual aids that are used to organize and process
information and to see the relationships between ideas. They can be used to
differentiate several things, tell a story, and draw conclusions, etc. They are likewise
utilized to better understand, remember, and apply information. Graphic organizers help
you clearly visualize how ideas are organized within a text or surrounding an idea or
concept.
Graphic organizers also provide you with a construction for abstract ideas. They
could be illustrations that give visual representations of facts. You should remember that
graphic organizers don't follow a set of rules. Since they serve numerous applications,
they feature different types of diagrams that you can use. The visual representation
would make it easier for you as a learner to understand the concept
(https://www.edrawmax.com/graphic-organizer/).

Different types of graphic organizers and their uses

Venn Diagram
Venn diagram also called a compare/contrast diagram is used to identify the
similarities and differences between two or more concepts. Comparison of face-to-face
learning and modular distance learning, K-drama and Filipino teleserye, etc are only few
of its sample applications.

 Spider Map
It is sometimes called a semantic map,
spider chart or web organizer. A spider map has
a central topic, and then ideas that branch off the
central topic like the legs of a spider or strands in
a web. This organizer aims to give no special
importance to each element. A spider map is best
used for brain-storming ideas or presenting about
main ideas and details.

KWL Chart

This graphic organizer consists of three What I What I What I

Know Want to Learned
columns used during the beginning, middle and Know
ending of a lesson. The 'KWL' stands for what
you Know, what you Want to learn, and what
you Learned from the lesson.

Flow Diagram or Sequence Chart

What’s More
ACTIVITY 1: Few Minutes to Read It!

Let’s get to know the adventures of the characters in the movie summary that you
are about to read. But before that, accomplish the chart by writing what you already
know about Harry Potter.

What I Know

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, also titled Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone, is the first novel in the immeasurably popular Harry Potter series by
J.K. Rowling, a British writer. It was first published in Britain in 1997 and appeared in
the United States the following year under the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s
Stone. The book’s ingenious story line about a boy wizard made it an continuing hit with
both children and adults.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Ten-year-old Harry Potter is an orphan who lives in the fictional London suburb of
Little Whinging, Surrey, with the Dursleys: his hard-hearted Aunt Petunia, despicable
Uncle Vernon, and spoiled cousin Dudley. The Dursleys barely tolerate Harry, and
Dudley often bullies him. One day Harry is surprised to receive a letter addressed to him
in the cupboard under the stairs (where he sleeps). Before he can open the letter,
however, Uncle Vernon takes it. Letters for Harry afterwards arrive each day, in
increasing numbers, but Uncle Vernon tears them all up, and finally, in an effort to
escape the letters, the Dursleys go to a miserable shack on a small island. On Harry’s

English 10- Quarter I, Module 2 page 7 of 12

11th birthday, a giant named Hagrid arrives and tells that Harry is a wizard and that he
has been accepted at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He also reveals
Harry’s past, informing the boy that his parents, a wizard and a witch, were killed by the
wicked wizard Voldemort and that Harry acquired the lightning-bolt scar on his forehead
during the deadly fight.
Upon arrival at the school, the students are organized into one of four houses—
Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. Harry ends up in Gryffindor, and during
his momentous first year at Hogwarts he becomes close friends with two other
members of the house, Ron Weasley, who comes from an old wizarding family, and
Hermione Granger, whose parents are Muggles (those who are not magical). Harry also
finds that he has an enemy in Draco Malfoy (Slytherin). In addition, Harry’s expertise in
flying on a broomstick makes him a star of Gryffindor’s Quidditch team. Hoping to get
Harry and his friends into misfortune, Draco tricks them into leaving their rooms one
night in order for them to violate school rules.
While trying to avoid being caught, they discover a three-headed dog guarding a
trapdoor. Harry arrives at the conclusion that Professor Snape, who teaches Potions,
dislikes him extremely and is trying to get hold of whatever is behind the trapdoor. Harry
receives his father’s cloak of invisibility as a Christmas gift, and, while exploring under
the cloak’s cover, he finds the Mirror of Erised, in which he can see his parents. Later,
headmaster Albus Dumbledore explains that the mirror shows the viewer’s inmost
desire.

ACTIVITY 2. I’m sure you are excited to know some revelations about the characters as
well as what Harry is planning do but let’s pause for a while and write what you want to
learn about him and his friends. Try to accomplish the chart below.

What I Want to Know

Harry, Ron, and Hermione assume that the treasure under the trapdoor is the
Philosopher’s Stone, which can transform metal into gold and can also confer
immortality. They later find out that Voldemort has been killing unicorns in the Forbidden
Forest and drinking their blood, one of his ways to attain immortality.

English 10- Quarter I, Module 2 page 8 of 12

 The three of them believe that Snape is in alliance with the evil wizard. Upon
learning that Hagrid revealed the secret way to lull the three-headed dog to sleep to a
suspicious stranger, whom they believe to be either Snape or Voldemort, they are sure
that the Philosopher’s Stone is not safe. They use the cloak of invisibility to get the
Stone themselves and keep it from Voldemort.
Meanwhile, after getting past the dog and defeating several protective spells,
Harry finds the room where the Stone is hidden and is surprised to find the continually
nervous Professor Quirrell there. Quirrell fails to figure out how to get back the Stone
from the Mirror of Erised which is the final protective measure and forces Harry to do it.
Standing in front of the mirror, wishing only to protect the Stone and not use it for
himself, Harry feels the Stone’s weight in his pocket but does not tell Quirrell that he has
it. Quirrell unwraps his turban and reveals Voldemort’s face on the back of his head.
Voldemort exposes that he has been sharing Quirrell’s body until he can get to the
Stone and become fully alive again, and Voldemort/Quirrell and Harry fight for
possession of the Stone, until Harry blacks out. He awakens in the infirmary and finds
out that Dumbledore saves him. The Stone has to be destroyed, and Voldemort
escapes. (https://www.britannica.com/topic/Harry-Potter-and-the-Philosophers-Stone)
