Cruz Elementary School and answer the following questions: The classroom is lively with students sitting in groups. On one side, there's a table stacked with printed materials: textbooks, worksheets, and storybooks. On the opposite side, there's a TV with a DVD player and a projector set up, displaying an educational video. The teacher, Ms. Santos, stands in the middle, ready to guide the lesson. Ms. Santos: (clapping her hands) “Alright, class! Today, we're going to explore two types of learning resources: printed materials and viewing materials. Let's start with printed materials.” She walks over to the table with the printed resources, picking up a storybook. Ms. Santos: “Printed materials like this storybook are great for reading at your own pace. You can touch the pages, flip back and forth, and even highlight important parts. They’re perfect for quiet, focused study.” She then gestures towards the TV and projector. Ms. Santos: “Now, let’s look at viewing materials. Videos, slideshows, and other visual content can bring lessons to life with moving images and sound. They’re excellent for showing things that are hard to imagine or explain with just words. For example, we can watch a video of a volcano erupting rather than just reading about it.” A student raises her hand. Student: “Ms. Santos, which one is better?” Ms. Santos: (smiling) “That’s a great question, Maria! It depends on what you’re learning and how you learn best. Printed materials are wonderful for deep reading  8 and studying; while viewing materials can help you understand complex ideas or see things in action. The best approach is to use both together.” The students nod, understanding the difference between the two types of materials. Ms. Santos: “Alright, now let's practice! Group A, you'll start with the storybook. Group B, you'll watch the video. After that, we'll discuss what you’ve learned!” The students eagerly begin their tasks, appreciating the unique benefits of both printed and viewing materials. 35.

In what situation might viewing materials be less effective compared to printed materials? a. When a student needs to study in silence. b. When it's necessary to visualize a process. c. When studying complex theories. d. When showing practical experiments. 39. How could the use of both printed and viewing materials enhance the students' learning experience? a. By addressing various learning styles and reinforcing ideas. b. By making lessons more engaging and fun for the students. c. By cutting down the time spent on studying for more focus. d.
