An Araling Panlipunan (AP) teacher gave an
assignment to the learners to research significant
events and people in Philippine History.

If you were one of the learners, would you know


what books or references to
look for at the library? Why?
Gathering information is very important in
planning for your research works, speeches, and
other classroom-based tasks. It provides credibility
and depth in discussing the topic with your target
audience.

The following are sources of relevant information:


1. Encyclopedia gives factual information on a wide
range of subjects, people, places, science, technology,
history, business, and government. It consists of
volumes of books in which the topics are listed
alphabetically.
Example: When I need to learn the culture of Spain, I
may use an encyclopedia. Through the use of an
encyclopedia, I may also acquire knowledge of the
population and historical places of the said country.
2. Almanac provides an annual publication
containing general information about government,
industry, politics, commerce, world events, and
sports.

Example: When I need to research the number of


typhoons that hit the Philippines last year, I may
use an almanac.
3. Dictionary supplies information about words,
spelling, pronunciation, meaning, derivation,
etymology, syllabication, stress, and level of
usage.

Example: When I need to know the definition


and pronunciation of the word
facade, I may use the dictionary.
Identify what kind of source (encyclopedia,
almanac, or dictionary) is described in each
number. Write your answers on a separate answer
sheet.

1. It features current events and facts like sports


records, statistical data, and tables.
2. It contains topics about history, places,
Science, and technology.
3. It gives the etymology of a word.
4. It provides a good source of information in
learning the derivation of words.
5. It helps you discover the beginning of World
War 2.
