It is here to help you learn and understand how to compare and contrast. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. Every day, you listen to the radio, watch television, browse the internet, and even read magazines, books, newspapers and e-books. These daily activities require a great deal of critical reading and analysis of evaluating things and ideas. In this module, you shall learn to look for the similarities and differences on topics and ideas that you read, watch, and listen to using different multimodal texts. After going through this module, you are expected to: 1. define comparison, contrast, and multimodal texts; 2. determine clues or signal words that show comparison and contrast; and 3. use comparison and contrast in varied multimodal texts. Let Us Try Activity 1: Let’s Read! Read this article carefully and answer the questions that follow. Write the letter of the correct answer. The Phantoms in the Dark By dj Today, social approval plays a big factor in the validation of one’s existence. The young generation today seeks attention and approval on different social media, thereby causing anxiety and depression. It can be observed that this has threatened the mental strength of today’s generation. A lot of teenagers and even young adults seek affirmation of their worth when they belong to a group or when they are socially accepted and loved. Sadly though, this can be a manifestation of weakness. We need to have that sense of completeness without any attachments. We were made in the image and likeness of the blessed One. That alone would tell us that we are enough. What is anxiety? Anxiety is having extreme fear and worry. It is a normal part in our life to experience anxiety sometimes. How does this go over board? When does it become not normal anymore? It is when anxiety is repeatedly felt and is seemingly uncontrollable already. It is no longer normal when one always has irrational fear of everyday life situations. Anxiety is displaying excessive worry over anything and almost to everything. It pushes one to avoid certain actions, things, places, or even food because of fear which may result to disabling the person to empower himself to act. The person displays morbid fear of anything which may result in panic attacks. Oftentimes, it is a result of negative thinking or emotions. Anxiety may result to 5 having sleep problems, episodes of irritability and bouts of fatigue. There are studies that show that social media may promote negative experiences that lead to anxiety because of poor self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy regarding economic status or physical attributes. One clear example is the massive propaganda about glutathione to have flawless and white complexion. Teenagers and even adults patronize this product in order to become beautiful to gain social approval. On the other hand, what is depression? Depression is having the condition of always being discouraged, sad, hopeless, unmotivated or simply uninterested in almost anything. The lack of interest to move and to get involved is one manifestation of depression. Thus, the person tends to withdraw and isolate himself from the crowd. They may either be his peers, classmates, friends and even his family. Unlike anxiety, a person who has depression usually does not suffer from panic or fear. Similarly, anxiety and depression also arise from negative thinking or emotions. They both result to having sleep problems, irritation and fatigue. Studies show that teenagers who spend a lot of time in social media platforms have a higher rate of reported cases of depression. Again, FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is real among teenagers who always seek social approval to gain selfesteem. How do we handle these phantoms in the dark? How do we stop having the fear to be judged, criticized and embarrassed? How do we stop them from eating all our trust and confidence to ourselves? How do we win the battle against these ghosts in our minds? 1. What is being compared and contrasted in the article? a. teenagers and young adults b. anxiety and depression c. irritability and fatigue d. panic and fear 2. Which sentence shows a contrast of ideas? a. Anxiety and depression can both cause sleep problems. b. Anxiety is extreme worrying and depression is extreme sadness. c. Both anxiety and depression can result to self-isolation. d. Anxiety and depression are common among teenagers and young adults. 3. “Similarly, anxiety and depression also arise from negative thinking or emotions. They both result to having sleep problems, irritation, and fatigue.” What do these statements show? a. comparison between anxiety and fear b. contrast between anxiety and fear c. similarity of anxiety and depression d. difference of anxiety and depression 4. “Anxiety pushes one to avoid doing certain actions while depression pushes one to avoid being in a group or crowd.” What do these statements show? 6 a. b. c. d. likeness of anxiety and depression cause of anxiety and depression definition of anxiety and depression difference between anxiety and depression 5. “Unlike anxiety, a person who has depression usually does not suffer from panic or fear.” What does this statement show? a. cause of anxiety and depression b. effects of anxiety and depression c. similarity of anxiety and depression d. difference of anxiety and depression Let Us Study Lesson 1 Comparison and Contrast Did you have a good time reading the article above? Now let’s try another one. This time, you shall review your basic knowledge about one topic in Mathematics. Activity 2: E-Math Time! Read this passage about Polynomials. Try to fill out the missing facts in the Venn diagram below. Write your answers on the blank spaces. What is a polynomial? It is an expression which consists of variables and coefficients that involves addition, subtraction, multiplication of non-negative integer exponents of variables. Today, we will discuss two types of polynomial: the binomial and the trinomial. A binomial has two terms. Its highest degree is 2. On the other hand, a trinomial has three terms. Its highest degree is 3. Similarly, binomial and trinomial are both polynomials. Thus, they both have a constant term. 7 COMPARISON When do we compare? We compare because we want to examine the similarity between two objects or ideas. We usually use the prepositions “to” or “with” which link two objects or ideas being compared in the sentence. How do we compare? It is when we categorize or group two things or ideas to show what is similar about their characteristics, qualities, or attributes. We use compare to when we categorize two similar things or ideas. What words do we use when we compare? We use these words. Equally Similarly Likewise both also as well as /the same as CONTRAST When do we contrast? We contrast when we want to point out the difference between two objects or ideas. How do we contrast? It is when we categorize or group two things or ideas to show the difference about their characteristics, qualities or attributes. We use compare with when we categorize two different things or ideas. What words do we use when we contrast? We use these words. 8 However on the other hand But although while on the contrary Let’s take a look at this comparison of an apple and an orange. Can you point out some items where an apple and an orange are the same? It is a fruit. It is crispy. Its peel is edible. It can be made as a juice drink. It grows on trees. It grows in a cold climate. It is round-shaped. It contains potassium. It has vitamin C. It is a fruit. It is tangy. Its zest is used in some recipes. It can be made as a juice drink. It grows on trees. It grows in a warm climate. It is round-shaped. It contains potassium. It has vitamin C. If I am going to compare an apple and an orange to show the things they have in common, I will say, “An apple and an orange are both fruits. Similarly, they are good sources of Potassium and Vitamin C. Likewise, they can be made into good fruit juices. They equally grow on trees.” What words show the similarity of the two fruits? The words: both, similarly, likewise and equally show a clear comparison of the two things. What do we call these words? We call them signal words for comparison. They give us a clue that we are comparing things. If I am going to contrast an apple and an orange to show what is the difference between the two, I will say, An apple and an orange are both fruits. However, their peels have different uses. People eat apple peels while others throw orange peels. However, some people use orange peels in some food recipes. On the other hand, the apple grows on a cold climate while the orange thrives on a warm weather.” What words show the difference between the two fruits? We have used these words to show a clear contrast of the two things. The words however, while, on the other hand are the signal words for contrast. They give us a clue that we are contrasting or differentiating things. We can compare and contrast ideas or things by using various multimodal texts. 9 What are multimodal texts? From the word multi; it means a lot. It means having a various teaching modes like reading a book, examining brochures, scanning newsletters, perusing a blog, watching a video or vlog, and examining an infographic. What is an infographic? It is a collection of graphic arts, imagery or pictures that presents an information, knowledge or data quickly and clearly. Most often, we can readily grasp the information when we see a lot of pictures and less texts right? These are samples of infographics. Let Us Practice Activity 3: Apples and Oranges!
