# English Lesson By: Teacher Lyra ## LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Identify Visual Elements using shapes such as: geometric, organic, and abstract 2. Derive meaning based on visual elements through: * Interpreting lines, shapes, and colors * Identifying the purpose of the visual text * Interpreting images/ideas that are explicitly used to influence viewers ## SQUIGGLES **What words can you relate with squiggles?** **Image:** A black background with many colorful squiggly lines. **Words:** * confusing * unclear * noisy ## STRAIGHT LINE **What words can you relate with a straight line?** **Image:** A horizontal straight line with a pencil resting on the end. **Words:** * clear * sure * direct ## LINES Lines create meaning by representing direction, structure, and clarity. A straight line suggests movement, stability, and order, often symbolizing a clear path or straightforwardness. In design and communication, lines organize space, connect or separate elements, and add simplicity. They can also convey tension, strength, or precision, depending on their form and placement. Whether in art, geometry, or everyday visuals, lines help us understand and interpret the world around us by guiding our focus and shaping meaning. ## EXAMPLE **Look at this picture:** **Image:** A group of children in a street with a group of armed personnel walking towards the children. **Source:** https://www.philstar.com/nation/2019/05/24/1920341/18-million-children-risk-due-conflict-mindanao ## GUIDE QUESTIONS * How do you feel about what you see in the photo? Which image in the photo caught your attention? Why? * Based on the photo, how do you think the children in war and conflict feel? What makes you say that? * Who should help the children? How can they be helped? * What can be done to have peace? ## IMAGES Images have the power to make us feel emotions and understand messages. They can show happiness, sadness, fear, or hope, and help us see what words alone might not fully explain. Being able to interpret images is important, especially when they are used with text in news articles. The combination of pictures and words can give us a clearer and deeper understanding of the story being told. # HOMEWORK **Unlocking Content Area Vocabulary** ## ACTIVITY 1 **WORD BUILDING ACTIVITY SHEET** **Directions:** * Using your dictionary or search engine (Google, etc.), look for and select the appropriate meaning of the underlined word according to how it is used in the sentence. * Write down the selected meaning on the space provided in the word build activity sheet. * Use the underlined word in your own sentence. * Post your activity sheets on the board. 1.
