INTRODUCTORY MESSAGE
Welcome to English 8!
The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the
Schools Division of Capiz and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents, and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum.
The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed
to guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using
the contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners
in acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity
and employment.
For learning facilitator:
The English 8 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with
minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made
available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.
For the learner:
The English 8 Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning
even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful
and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully
read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Explain the Visual-Verbal Relationships Illustrated in Tables,
Graphs and Informational Maps found in Expository Texts
I. Learning Competency
Explain the visual-verbal relationships illustrated in tables,
graphs and informational maps in expository texts
II. Background Information for the Learners
My dear Grade 8 students, welcome to the 2nd Quarter of learning
experiences away from school. Try to remember some books that you have
been using while you were still in school. What do you think these books
ranging from Filipino, English, Math and other subjects have in common?
If you answered pictures, graphics, and other visuals, you are
correct. We use these textbooks to learn facts, concepts and information.
Texts that present facts and information to readers, are examples of
expository texts. Expository texts are designed to explain, inform and
present facts on specific topics.
Now, take a moment to think about the graphics that you have seen
in these textbooks, like illustrations, tables, graphs, and informational
maps. They are used to help present the topic at hand. If Picture books
use images to help new readers understand the story, authors of
expository texts use graphics to help readers understand the concepts
presented.

Quarter 2, Week 1
Examples of Visual Presentations (Graphics)
1. Tables – A table is representational display of data or information in
rows or columns.
Example:
Table 1. Number of Grade 12 Students enrolled in Different Strands of
San Isidro National High School for the School Year 2020-2021
Strands MALE FEMALE TOTAL
HUMMS 12 20 32
STEM 15 22 37
COOKERY 10 35 45
SMAW 32 6 38
Total 69 83 152
The table above shows the number of Grade 12 students enrolled in San
Isidro National High School. It shows that there are 152 students enrolled
in Grade 12 in that school for the school year 2020-2021. The strand with
the highest number of students enrolled is STEM, while HUMMS got the
lowest number of enrollees. Females in this school less preferred SMAW as
their choice of Grade 12 TechVoc Track while the males less preferred
HUMMS. It shows that SMAW appealed to boys than girls.
2. A chart, on the other hand, is an illustrative presentation of
information. The information is illustrated in symbols such as lines,
bars or slices. It used to explain the relationship between a large
quantity of data and its parts.

The Chart shows a summary of confirmed COVID19 cases from January
21 – February 20, 2019. It shows that Americans who have travel history
in Korea and the USA has the highest number of COVID19 cases. It also
showed that even those Filipinos who have no travel history outside of the
country were also affected by the virus.

3. Graphs – A graph is a visual display of appraisals over grids that
provides an easy way to view interpretation of all the values.
Business Continuity in the Philippines amid COVID19 ECQ Period
(Source: https://images.app.goo.gl/XmyA1UXhYztJCTwf9)
The graph shows how Philippine companies take steps to ensure
employees’ wellbeing and business continuity amid COVID-19 ECQ period.
Due to the threat of the virus, majority of the Filipinos work from home.
Although some businesses are still going on, on a very minimal scale, there
are those that really suspend their operations.
4. Information mapping is a method of identifying, categorizing, and
interrelating information for learning and reference purpose.
(Source: https://images.app.goo.gl/fMqSkFo3wW5a3o38)
This information map shows the significant effects of COVID19 in the fields
of Orthopaedics. It spells out the challenges of the virus’ threat to both the
patient and the medical personnel. Due to the threat of the virus, there is

a postponement of orthopaedic conferences that would also lead to the
delay of orthopeadic surgeries.
