What I Need to Know
This module provides varied activities that will help you create meaningful ideas
using the notes from primary and secondary sources. At the end of this module, you are
expected to:
• identify the characteristics of an outline;
• differentiate primary and secondary sources of information; and
• expand the content of an outline using notes from primary and secondary
sources.

What’s In
How’s that first activity? Great! You probably ask where we are going to use the
sources of information in the first activity. That’s right! We are going to expand the content of
an outline using notes from primary and secondary sources. Do you want to know more
about them? Good!
But first, let us step back in time and identify the grammatical signals that we learned
from Module 2. These words are of tremendous help in creating meaningful ideas using first-
hand and second-hand facts. So, let’s get started.
Directions: Match the grammatical signal in Column A to its corresponding classification in
Column B. Write the letter of the answer before each number.
COLUMN A COLUMN B
1. in the same way a. Addition
2. for an instance b. Comparison
3. as well as c. Contrast
4. although d. Example
5. next e. Summary
f. Time
That was awesome! If you answered comparison in number 1, you are indeed
correct! We are using in the same way when we introduce a new insight in comparison to
the previous one that you have mentioned.
Take a look at your answer in number 2. If that is example, way to go! You are
definitely on the right track. Using the signal, for an instance suggests list of clear
illustrations.
You are definitely correct in number 3 if your answer is addition! The expression, as
well as gives the signal that there is another idea connected to the topic you are discussing.
2
Way to go, if you answered contrast in item number 4! A statement containing this
signal indicates that in spite of giving a factual idea, there are still other insights to consider.
Lastly, clap your hands for a job well done if you answered time in number 5! Next
signifies an event that will occur after the current or previous one.
These are the words, clauses and phrases that can help you in expanding your
outline using primary and secondary sources. So, flex your muscles and dive in for our next
exercise.
What’s New
GETTING TECHNICAL
Let us now identify what an outline is and its characteristics. How to determine
them? The answer lies in this next task.
TITLE
I. Main Topic
A. First Subtopic of I
1. Supporting Detail of A
a. Supporting Details of 1
b. Supporting Details of 1
2. Supporting Detail of A
B. Second Subtopic of I
II. Main Topic
A. First Subtopic of II
B. Second Subtopic of II
Given the framework above, answer the following questions. Shade the circle ( ○ ) of
your answer.
1. Which of the following statements describes an outline?
○An outline is a brief summary of a specific topic arranged in a systematic order using
letters and numbers.
○An outline is a skeleton of all ideas arranged together to provide information.
2. What are the parts of an outline?
○An outline contains the main idea, the subtopics, and the supporting details.
○An outline contains the title, the main idea, the subtopics, and the supporting details.
3. How is an outline written?
○All entries are indented. Main topic is written in Arabic numerals (A, B, C, etc.),
subtopics in small letters (a, b, c, etc.) and supporting details in capital letters (A, B, C,
etc.).
○All entries are indented. Main topic is written in Roman numerals (I, II, III, etc.),
subtopics in capital letters (A, B, C, etc.) and supporting details in small letters (a, b, c,
etc.).

4. Why do we use outlining?
○To organize information in a logical and systematic manner.
○To indent ideas and make it more appealing to the eyes.
5. How are we going to develop an outline?
○Organize the main thought and subdivide the supporting details of a topic.
○Research information using primary and secondary sources.
Way to go! I believe you are now ready for a thorough discussion on how to expand
the content of an outline using notes from primary and secondary sources. Get ready for
the next phase of our exercise.
The activities in this module are arranged from simple to complex to help the learner
gradually master the desired learning competency. Give him/her the needed support and
guidance in answering each task.
What is It
Have you ever tried listening to someone and you need to pin down the words to
get the information all at once?
You bet! This is quite a challenging task especially when you are trying to focus on
the topic and the details of what you hear. You will probably look for a pen and start
scribbling the ideas for a quick summary.
Then, you will recap the insights that you save for a clear understanding. That’s
when drafting of your outline happens.
Outlining is one of the significant skills that we all need to develop in order to
systematically organize important facts and details especially when we are note taking.
There are two types of an outline — the topic and the sentence outline. Words and
phrases are used in a Topic Outline while ideas in forms of a sentences are in a Sentence
Outline.
4
Take a look at these two examples.
Now, how are we going to develop an outline with a limited prior knowledge?
Well, I’ll tell you the secret recipe for it. All we need is the help of different sources and
various references.
At the beginning of this module, you already encountered some of them. Now,
we are going to learn which one is of primary source and which is of secondary source.

The Advantages of Reading Books
Reading books is like travelling. It gives you access to visit places you have never been.
It gives you confidence to converse with people you have never met before. It drives you to feel
emotions of every character you encounter. It teaches you some lessons our life can offer. It
helps you understand the culture of diverse individuals. It influences you to believe and to oppose
ideas at the same time. It creates a spark inside you through imagination. Reading is really a
remarkable task.

Internet becomes the asset of businesses today. From understanding what is selling
to knowing what people are using and why internet trends are important. With the further
progressiveness of the internet, these trends will become powerful in time.
Speaking of the impact of the internet into our personal lives, let us talk about trends.
Nowadays, mobile devices are rising leading to the decline of the television which most of the
people used to spend time with before. Millions of mobile phone users arise due to its
convenience. You can bring this thing along with you all the time. Moreover, they can access
information easily along with the widespread of internet and it will evade you from boredom.
Truly, it has changed the way that people work, socialize, organize, and entertain
themselves.
With the increase of mobile phones, online gaming has soared entertainment. These
also dominated the digital scene of this world. Online games play a huge part in the lives of
today’s youths. Mobile Legends, battle Royale games and Fortnite. These games have over

What I Can Do
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
Now that you have an idea about outlining and how to add details to it using the
primary and secondary sources of information, use these to spread good news.
In the field of Journalism, credibility and truth must prevail. As Ecclesiastes 7:1 (NIV)
says, A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of
birth.
Every journalist must value the good reputation of both his story and the subject of
his story. This does not mean to compromise but stand on what is true.
Even the Bible instructs us about this in Philippians 4:8 and it says, Finally, brothers,
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
Directions: On the space provided below, write a summary on the importance of true
reporting using an outline with the title, No to Fake News. You can
research insights about the topic using different sources of information, but
rephrase the content to avoid plagiarism. Please be guided with the rubric for
evaluation.
