Noting effectiveness of textual aids in activating background

Friday, August 15, 2008

“Onward duty calls!” is call for action that holds true in the Filipino way of life. It is inherent in all of us to set aside our own concern in the name of duty. This and a number of other positive Filipino values are what we need to strengthen for us to progress as a country. We just have to activate that which is already in us.

Activating background knowledge also applies on what we read. You might have noticed that sometimes, you see tables, grids, diagrams, or graphs in texts that you read. These graphic organizers aid the reader in understanding some pieces of information in the text, which are practically better, presented using such devices.
