Significance: This activity allows students to apply their understanding of different
types of viewing materials by creating a book trailer that promotes a chosen book.
Instructions: Students select a book they have read or are currently reading and
create a book trailer using visuals, music, and text. They should consider the target
audience, genre, and key elements of the book to effectively promote it. Students

Assessment Questions:
1) How did you choose the visuals and music for your book trailer? Explain your
choices.
2) What elements of the book did you highlight in your trailer to appeal to the target
audience?
3) How did creating a book trailer help you understand the importance of choosing
the right viewing materials to promote a product or idea?
EXPLAIN:
1) Teaching the concept: The teacher can provide a brief lecture explaining the
different types of viewing materials, their characteristics, and purposes. The teacher
can also show examples of each type and engage students in a discussion about
how they can distinguish among them.
2) Interaction: The teacher can conduct a think-pair-share activity where students
discuss in pairs or small groups the differences between two types of viewing
materials and then share their ideas with the whole class. This interactive discussion
allows students to deepen their understanding and learn from each other's
perspectives.
ELABORATE:
Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing
Task 1: Students can role-play as news anchors and deliver a news report using
different types of viewing materials, such as live footage, interviews, or graphics.
This practical task helps students apply their knowledge of different viewing
materials in a real-life scenario.
Task 2: Students can create a storyboard for a short film or cartoon, incorporating
different types of viewing materials to convey a specific message or story. This task
allows students to explore the creative aspects of using visuals and storytelling
techniques in their own projects.
EVALUATE:
Teaching Strategy: Differentiation
Question 1: Provide a list of viewing materials and ask students to match each one
with its corresponding genre or purpose.
Question 2: Show a video clip and ask students to identify the type of viewing
material and explain why they think it belongs to that category.
Question 3: Present a scenario and ask students to recommend the most
appropriate viewing material to convey a specific message or target a particular
audience.
Assignment:
Assignment 1: Students are tasked to watch a documentary of their choice and
write a reflection paper discussing the effectiveness of the viewing material in
conveying its message and engaging the audience. The teacher should provide
guidelines for the reflection paper, including the length and specific points to
address.
Assignment 2: Students are assigned to create a multimedia presentation
showcasing their favorite TV show or movie, highlighting the different types of
viewing materials used and explaining why they find it engaging or informative. The
