LOOKING BACK As we start the lesson, I want you to read a story of a man carrying a lamp despite his blindness. A MAN WITH A LAMP Once upon a time, there was a small town. There lived a man by himself who couldn’t see. He was blind. Yet, he carried a lighted lamp with him whenever he went out at night. One night as he was coming home after having a dinner outside, he came across a group of young travelers. They saw that he was blind, yet carrying a lighted lamp. They started passing comments on him and made a fun of him. One of them asked him, “Hey Man! You are blind and can’t see anything! Why do you carry the lamp then?” The blind man replied, “Yes, unfortunately, I am blind and I can’t see anything but a lighted lamp which I am carrying is for the people like you who can see. You may not see the blind man coming and end up pushing me. That is why I carry a lighted lamp”. The group of travelers felt ashamed and apologized for their behavior. https://www.moralstories.org/a-man-with-a-lamp/#close 1. Do you find it unusual for a blind man to carry a lamp? 2 2.

As a student, how does your views about the said event in Philippine history affect you? 3. If Dr. Rizal were still alive, what do you think would he tell you when another “revolution” happens? Expound your answer. REMEMBER People have different views and opinion about life, economy, religion, politics, and many more. But, how can one become an effective speaker or writer in research, campaigns, and advocacies? Words to Remember: Advocacy is an action directed at changing the policies, positions, or programs of any type of institution. It is also the act of speaking on the behalf of or in support of another person, place which aims to defend or recommend an idea before other people. 5 Campaign is an organized effort which seeks to influence the decision-making progress within a specific group. It can persuade, excite, or motivate and compensate others towards a goal whether political, social, or economical. Moreover, it demonstrates strength in personality, and attempts to attract positive feelings in an environment. Research is the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources to establish facts and reach new conclusions. It must follow a careful and detailed study into a specific problem, concern, or issue using the scientific method. What is ADVOCACY? It is a process which involves people in decision-making which affects and influences lives towards a common good. BASIC ELEMENTS OF AN ADVOCACY These elements directly affect one another. To activate the goal of a certain advocacy, the following must be thoroughly studied. 6 ADVOCACY PROCESS Problems and questions are never-ending. One must know how and what to consider in choosing the right question for immediate response to the issues. Once questions have been identified, solution must be placed in the table for evaluation and execution. Coalition building, division meeting, building awareness, and delivering effective message are part of this stage. Ensuring political power to the problem and solution can be highlighted to achieve a certain advocacy. At this stage, every aspect is being put into its right places- problems are recognized; solutions are accepted; and political will are acted upon. The opportunity is bigger which leads to concrete advocacy strategies. This last stage is often taken for granted but considered to be the most important. Proper assessment of the actions taken would open windows for improvement and opportunities which will result for change- change for the betterment of the people and its advocacy. What is CAMPAIGN? It is a science or art of changing what is possible. Campaigns try to persuade others to be inspired and to be influenced to support a certain cause. BASIC CAMPAIGN GUIDELINES DO YOU NEED TO CAMPAIGN? It involves a talk to people and persuade them to take into an action or to a target objective MOTIVATION NOT EDUCATION Campaigns remove the border among the actions to be taken to increase the reward for others to move. Campaigns limit the audience’s motivation but not the information. It helps to educate by doing and experiencing the information gathered. ANALYZE THE FORCES Analyze the problem, draw possible solution- what resources to be used to obtain a possible conclusion. 7 K.I.S. (KEEP IT SIMPLE) Campaigns are done when there is a need for an immediate response to a problem. People needed to be motivated by simple logic of the campaign’s message and purpose. RIGHT COMPONENTSRIGHT ORDERS Follow the sequence: awareness -->alignment -->engagement --> action campaigns involve tons and tons of talk. It must be able to bring out the ignorance to its audience and open the solutions to their concern. A reward after a series of talk must be given to build trust and longer relationship. Show your audience that there is a need for change and implement the solution, so that, they can act according to the motivation given. START FROM WHERE YOUR AUDIENCE IS Do your market research. Put the issue into their language. Know what your audience wants and needs to create solutions that fits them. CONSTRUCT CRITICAL PATH When your campaign is complex, audience tends to move their way out. The campaign must not show the whole scenario, instead show your audience the step-by- step strategies that you are planning to do. Be open to what you think is the problem; how you wish to solve it; and the opportunities you are eyeing at the end of the campaign. CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE ACCEPTABLE Campaigns may revolve around an issue, but audience participation must be taken in consideration. Remember that it is better to take the issue in smaller parts with 100% support from your audience, rather than taking the issue 99% with 1% support from your audience. MAKE REAL THINGS HAPPEN Do not argue, just do things into perspective. Campaigns become more successful if it is against violence, do not tolerate wrong doings, and able to justify the moral standards of living. SAY WHAT YOU MEAN Your message must be direct and honest. The more things are getting complicated, the lesser the tendency to attract more audience to support the goal and mission of the campaign. FIND THE CONFLICTS IN EVENTSMAKE THE NEWS In every campaign, it is important to create conflict- aside. It adds color to the activity, for it is the core reason why a campaign exists. Conflict creates campaign. COMMUNICATE IN PICTURES Be sure to communicate how to figure out things. Make things real. Make your campaign mirrors reality. The more you engage yourself with the audience, the more it makes the objective realistic. What is RESEARCH? Understanding the language of research will help us understand how a certain question shall be answered through various research processes. It can state how a research drives into the answer or conclusion by helping one through academic readings. 8 RESEARCH PROCESS ● ASKING A QUESTION This is the most important part of a research, for without it, no research will be conducted. To be able to answer a certain question, it must thoroughly undergo into the process of experiment or observation. ● OBSERVING AND TEST THE DATA It is important that the idea must undergo the trial phase through a propose procedure or design. To figure out if the experiment or observation is on the right track. ● ANALYZING DATA It should come after the observation or experiment has been done. Listing the procedure, data, and conclusion can be published, so that future researches would have a baseline for the upcoming or future research. ● PUBLISHING CONCLUSION For the sake of future researchers, it is important to publish the result of a research for further study and improvement. CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING POST- TEST TRUE or FALSE. A. Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct, and FALSE if the statement is wrong, then correct the word/s that made the statement incorrect. _______ 1. Campaigns and advocacies must be able to persuade its target audience to agree to its vision and mission. _______ 2. Research starts with a question or a problem. _______ 3. When doing research and campaign, one must not monitor the issues in environment. _______ 4. Data gathered must be thoroughly analyzed. _______ 5. One must not be concerned in research if he or she is only a student. REFLECTION Language mirrors our society, the people around us, and ourselves. We need to be aware of the things around us for us to make judgment and solutions to every problem we may face. Having our own voice to a certain advocacy, campaign, and research can make a huge difference not only with ourselves, but also to the world. Just like the people we have introduced at the beginning of the lesson, we must find our voice to help others, open opportunities, and make solutions to the problems that surround us. The process may not be as easy as we think, but we must do it to make a CHANGE. 9 WHAT I HAVE LEARNT TODAY?
