Lesson
News Report
1
News Report Defined

News is an oral or written report of the past, present or future event in local,
national or international environment. It answers the WHs and H questions
without embellishments.

News Reports are found in newspapers and their purpose is to inform

readers of what is happening in the world around them. News reports have a
certain structure that you need to follow. This structure is sometimes called the
Inverted Pyramid. This is what it looks like:

Headline

What Who

When Where
Why

How

1. News Reports begin with a catchy HEADLINE.

2. The LEAD PARAGRAPH informs the reader of the most important aspects
of the story as soon as possible. The LEAD PARAGRAPH is often the only
part of the story that people read.
Use the 5 WHs rule:
• WHO (is involved)
• WHAT (took p (did it take place)
• WHEN (did it take place)
• WHERE (did it take place)

9
 • WHY (did it happen)
• HOW (did it happen) – only include this if there is a space
3. The BODY of the News Report gives more details and provides more
information about the WHY and HOW of the story.
4. The TAIL contains the less important information which is often omitted
by the newspaper editor if there is not enough space let in the
newspaper.
Hints:

• Your News Report should be easy to understand; every news story

should be able to be read by a twelve-year-old.
• Try to be fair – include both sides of the story and don’t let your
opinion get in the way of reporting the “facts”.

Parents' help needed vs cyberbullying - DepEd
Jaehwa Bernardo, ABS-CBN News
Posted on May 05 2020 01:04 PM

MANILA - The Department of Education (DepEd) said Tuesday it needs the help of
parents and guardians to protect children who engage in online learning from cyberbullying.
Education Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan said children also need to be discerning with
the content and websites they visit.
"Yong pagpunta sa ibang sites ay kailangan namin ang tulong ng mga magulang at
kasama sa bahay ng mga bata," he said in a virtual press briefing.
"Importante 'yong kaalaman mismo ng mga mag-aaral natin to be very discerning in
looking at digital content and online content," he added.
Malaluan assured the public that the content uploaded on the agency's online learning
platform, the DepEd Commons, has been reviewed by its Bureau of Learning Resources and
Bureau of Curriculum Development.
The DepEd Commons, which has logged over 4 million users during the enhanced
community quarantine period, contains review materials and other resources authored by experts.
Education Secretary Leonor Briones, in the same briefing, said there are civil society
organizations giving training to parents and children to prevent cyberbullying incidents.
Online learning is one of various approaches that the DepEd will implement to deliver
lessons for the next academic year as the coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt traditional
face-to-face learning.

Informative Talk
2
Informative Talk Defined
An informative speech is one that intends
to educate the audience about a given topic.
The main of an informative talk/speech is
to provide enlightenment regarding a specific topic
the know knows nothing about. It may
demonstrate how to use a new type of software,
explain a new concept in the field of science,
describe an expedition an archeologist took, or
provide details about a person of interest that the
audience wants to learn more about.
The topics covered in an informative speech
should help the audience to understand a subject
better and to remember what they learned later.
The goal of this type of speech is not to
sway the audience to the speaker’s point of view.
Instead, the details need to be laid before the
audience so that they can make an educated
decision or learn about a subject they are
interested in. Transferring Information. In an
informative speech, how the

communications/chapter/introduction-to-informative-speaking/ information is presented will determine

Lesson
Panel Discussion
3
Panel Discussion Defined
A panel discussion is a specific format used in a meeting, conference, or
convention. It is a live or virtual discussion about a specific topic among a selected
group of panelists who share differing perspective in front of a large audience.

• The panel discussion is typically facilitated by a moderator who guides the

panel and the audience through the event.
• The panel, typically 3-4 experts or practitioners in the field, shares facts,
offers opinions and responds to audience questions either through questions
curated the moderator or taken from the audience directly.
• The panel session typically lasts for 60-90 minutes.

A panel is NOT:

• A set of presentations,
one after another. The
panel format allows for a
brief introduction and
then discussion among
the panelists and
audience. If most of the
panel agenda is centered
around presenting
information, then just
give each panelist a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2ilguEXdkE

speaking slot with a Q&A

after each speaker.
• A one-on-one interview with each panelist. Many untrained moderators
simply ask questions of each panelist, one after another, rather than build
the dialogue into a conversation. Unless there is interplay among the
panelists, have an “up close and personal” interview with each speaker.
• Just Q&A from the audience. When the focus is completely answering
audience’s questions, you have a forum or “town hall” meeting.

Write your answers on the space provided.

MANILA-- Traditional jeepneys may soon be allowed for public transport use,
Malacañang said Thursday as the government works on the gradual relaxation of
transportation restrictions.
Jeepneys that will be deemed as "roadworthy" may soon be allowed to ply
roads subject to health standards, Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque said.
"Pinag-aaralan po pero may possibility po," Roque said in a Palace press
briefing.
"Maaaring payagan ng Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory
Board (LTFRB) ang traditional jeepneys provided they are roadworthy," he added.
Even with the easing of lockdowns this month, the government has
prohibited the use of jeepneys for public transport due to difficulties in observing
minimum health standards such as physical distancing.
The current general community quarantine and modified GCQ allow limited
train, bus, taxi, and ride-share services.
The Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association of the
Philippines has appealed to the government to reconsider the ban on jeepneys,
saying some 90 percent of drivers are "starving and dying" due to loss of income.
The Department of Transportation earlier this month said routes for the
jeepneys are being studied.
"Papayagan naman. Kaya lang inaayos pa natin ano. For example, 'yung mga
ruta na pwede takbuhan 'tas ilang jeep 'yung tatakbo sa ruta na 'yon," said Alberto
Suansing, DOTR road sector consultant.
