B. PRESENTATION OF THE LESSON

a. Activity
MOTIVATION (15 MINS) “A PIECE OF CONTROVERSIAL”
1. Instruct learners to form a group of five members.
- About the Controversial couple, John Lloyd Cruz and Ellen Adarna.
- Provide news about the topic coming from different sources – newspaper,
magazine, social media, TV, Internet.
- Distribute each material to a different group of learners.
- Have each group describe the type of information their source delivers.
- Ask them to note the differences and similarities between the information gathered
in each source.

b. Analysis
Process Question:
1. How reliable and accurate your sources?
2. Do you think your information is valuable?

c. Abstraction

Define keywords in the objectives as an overview of the lesson. These keywords include:
•
Reliability of information - Information is said to be reliable if it can be verified and evaluated.
Others refer to the trustworthiness of the source in evaluating the reliability of information.
• Accuracy of information - Accuracy refers to the closeness of the report to the actual data.
Measurement of accuracy varies, depending on the type of information being evaluated.
Forecasts are said to be accurate if the report is similar to the actual data. Financial information
is considered accurate if the values are correct, properly classified, and presented
• Value of information - Information is said to be of value if it aids the user in making or
improving decisions.
• Authority of the source - Much of the information we gather daily do not come from a
primary source but are passed on through secondary sources such as writers, reporters, and the
like. Sources with an established expertise on the subject matter are considered as having sound
authority on the subject.
• Timeliness - Reliability, accuracy, and value of information may vary based on the time it was
produced or acquired. While a piece of information may have been found accurate, reliable,
and valuable during the time it was produced, it may become irrelevant and inaccurate with
the passing of time (thus making it less valuable). Other information may be timeless, proven
to be the same in reliability, accuracy, and value throughout history.

Discuss the following topics on libraries:

a. Types of libraries - Libraries are often classified in 4 groups, namely: academic, public, school
and special. These libraries may be either digital or physical in form.
b. Skills in accessing information from libraries - Due to the wealth of information in a library,
it is important to know the following:
• The access tool to use
• How the information being accessed may be classified
• The depth of details required--some libraries provide only an abstract of the topic
• More detailed information might require membership or some conformity to set rules
of the source (ex databases).
c. Characteristics of libraries in terms of reliability, accuracy and value - Libraries of published
books are often considered highly reliable, accurate, and valuable. Books and documents from
dominant sources are often peer reviewed. ISSN or ISBN registration ensures that standards were
followed in producing these materials.

Discuss the following topics about the Internet:

a. Information found on the Internet
b. Characteristics of Internet information in terms of reliability, accuracy, value, timeliness, and
authority of the source
c. Realities of the Internet
d. Information found on the Internet may be quite varied in form and content. Thus, it is more
difficult to determine its reliability and accuracy. Accessing information on the Internet is easy,
but requires more discipline to check and validate. Factual and fictitious data are often merged
together. Sources always have to be validated.

Discuss the skills in determining the reliability of information.

a. Check the author. The author’s willingness to be identified is a good indication of reliability.
b. Check the date of publication or of update. While the information may be true, it may not
be reliable if it is outdated and may have lost relevance.
c. Check for citations. Reliable authors have the discipline of citing sources of their information.
d. Check the site design and the writing style. Credible sources take time to make their
information accessible and easy to comprehend.

Discuss the skills in determining accurate information.

a. Look for facts.
b. Cross-reference with other sources to check for consistency.
c. Determine the reason for writing and publishing the information. Check if the author is
objective or leaning heavily on a certain point of view.
d. Check for advertising. Advertisers may use related information to market their product.

Discuss the following topics on the alternative media:

a. Current popular alternative media
b. Rise of alternative media and information.
c. Other alternative forms of communication and distribution have become popular. These
include social media, blogs, and flash mob performances. These alternative forms provide
greater freedom and power to ordinary individuals and are a quicker way of distributing
information. The downside is that a lot of the information being passed around is biased and
inaccurate.

d. Application
Self-Check!
1. When did I last visit the library for research?
2. When shall I use the internet and the library for obtaining information?

 Ask volunteer from the class to share their ideas about it.

C. EVALUATION

Direction: Answer the following questions.

1. What are the different types of information sources? Compare and contrast

D. ASSIGNMENT

Direction:
- Have the learners write an essay on the topic “How do people find information
that matches my needs?” and “How do I choose from the wide variety of
information made available by different sources?”.
