 LESSON

Nowadays we are hooked on watching television, internet or in YouTube

to gather important information of what is happening around us. In which
viewing is one of important ways or skills in learning. And we make
connections between what we have viewed to our personal experiences.
Connection is a link that viewers/readers can make between what they are
reading, listening or viewing/watching and things they already know or have
experienced in the past or experiencing at the moment. Connection stimulates
viewers’ knowledge, feelings, and awareness. Increased awareness makes
reading more relevant, enjoyable, and meaningful. With connection, viewers
become more involved, engaged, and are given an open opportunity to
compare one information viewed to another information or to their personal
experiences.

Let us look and examine the given scenarios below. These are mostly seen on
news and in the internet today.

Here are the questions that I want you to ponder:

1. Is the place in order? Is the situation normal? Why?
2. Have you had experienced getting badly sick or infected with COVID-19
virus?
3. What were your feelings/reactions about this outbreak of a pandemic
disease today?
4. What were those things that caused your fear?
5. Can people do something in order that they will not be so much
affected?
6. What can you do to be safe and be COVID-19 free?

 COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered
coronavirus and it was declared as a pandemic by the World Health
Organization. Millions of people around the world are infected with this virus,
many cities and countries were put into lock down, economies are going down,
people are anxious, hungry, financially unstable and worst lot of people are
dying because of coronavirus.

of the pandemic their small business stopped and run out of stock. In
order to survive, Leia and her family pick up scraps of vegetables in the
market which serves as their food and with the aid of the subsidy from
the national government they can buy food for their table.
4. How would you compare your life to Leia and her family’s life?
