This is the English Grade 7 self-learning module for Quarter 1, Module 2: Genres of Viewing. It is an Alternative Delivery Mode module from DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region (First Edition, 2020). It is for Grade 7 learners studying at home or in class. It helps them tell apart the kinds of material they watch on TV and online, such as documentaries, trailers, news flashes, animation, and variety shows, and work out the message each one carries.
The module starts from a simple fact: young people spend nearly 20 hours a week watching TV or using the internet. Because viewing takes up so much of their time, learners need to understand what they are watching.
On this page 7 sections
What learners will learn
After working on the activities, learners should be able to:
- identify the different viewing genres;
- describe the features of each genre;
- determine the message of a material viewed; and
- discuss how viewed materials differ from each other (documentary, movie clip, trailer, news flash, video, internet-based program, and others).
The module is built on the Most Essential Learning Competency EN7VC-I-e-6: identifying the genre of a material viewed, such as a movie clip, trailer, news flash, internet-based program, documentary, or video.
What a viewing genre is
The module first reminds learners of literary genres they already know, such as science fiction, fable, legend, and fantasy. It then explains that genres are not only written or spoken. They also come in visual form. This is the viewing genre: material we see on television, the internet, and other media.
Each viewing genre has its own form, purpose, and intended audience. Knowing these features helps viewers understand what they are watching and take in the information more easily. It also helps them think critically and creatively about it.
The module also defines two terms:
- Analysis: a close look at the details of a material viewed, and a critical study of its influence, effect, or meaning for the viewer, an audience, or society.
- Genre analysis: first identifying the category of the material, then examining how its message and purpose affect the viewer.
Its worked example is an episode of Matanglawin, hosted by Kim Atienza, on the Philippines’ growing problem with plastic. The module classifies it as an educational program. The episode gives facts about how much plastic and waste Filipinos produce. It names the country as the world’s third-largest waste producer and encourages viewers to segregate and recycle their waste.

| Documentary | A non-fiction program or film about real events, filming real people in actual places, to educate, inform, persuade, or raise awareness | Reel Time: Batang Maestro, I-Witness, Reporter’s Notebook: Yapak sa Pusod ng Dagat |
| Infomercial | From “information” and “commercial”: a long commercial (usually 15 to 30 minutes) that looks like a regular program and shows how a product or service is used and why it helps | A drive on how to fight COVID-19, NDRRM fire prevention advertisement, It’s More Fun in the Philippines by the Department of Tourism |
| Movie / video clip | A short strip or portion of a longer film, usually a specific scene or highlight | None listed |
The lesson closes with a reminder: not every program is suited to students. Learners should check whether what they watch gives relevant and reliable information, and be responsible viewers and digital users.

Check your work honestly with the answer key at the end, which covers the pretest, the Genre Match, the assessment, and the picture sort.
- Parents: Help your child find TV programs or online videos for the viewing tasks. If there is no internet at home, point them to the Annex materials.

What is It
[illustration: magnifying glass held over a hand]
Viewing Genre is another type of genre which is in a form of visual. Meaning, something that it is seen or viewed especially that of found in television screen or in an internet-based programs. We have learned in the introductory part of this lesson that most of our activities, especially with the advent of the internet, gadget and digital revolution, are spent on watching TV, surfing net and watching videos on Youtube, Netflix, and the like. Remember, we do not simply watch or view these materials to be entertained or merely because we want to watch them. More importantly, an understanding of the material viewed help us navigate the information we want to find. Also, through learning the different features, purpose and intended audience for each particular genre, help us learn the needed information easily and efficiently.
Like any other genre, the materials we view on screen come in different forms, purpose and intended audience. Learning about these features and forms helps the viewers understand what they are viewing and adjust how they will process the information presented in the material. This will allow the viewer to become actively engage , think critically and creatively on the material viewed.
Analysis : An analysis is an examination of the details of the material viewed, a critical study of its influence , effect or implication to the viewer , to a specific audience or to the society.
Genre Analysis : A genre analysis seeks to identify the category of the material viewed. This is followed by a careful examination of how the message and the purpose of the viewed material creates impact to him.
Example :
Matanglawin by Kuya Kim Atienza on Philippines’ Growing Problem on Plastic
Genre: Educational Program
Genre Analysis : Matanglawin is an Award Winning and a science-environmental educational program, hosted by Kim Atienza discussing various topics. One of the issues aired in 2018 discussed the Philippines’ Growing Problem on Plastic. It gave the viewers an information of the volume of plastic and waste that are being used and contributed by the Filipinos every year. It presented facts which allow viewers to know that the country is the third’s largest waste producer around the world. With the problem on waste presented, the Filipinos, therefore, are highly encouraged to observe waste segregation and recycling to help alleviate the fast-growing problem on plastic. The solutions to this problem according to the information presented are unlimited which implies that the Filipinos have a lot of things to do, to contribute ways of addressing the problem, thus help reduce the volume of waste produced every day. This would mean a better country and a better place to live in.

Not all of the programs on media platforms are suited to students like us. So, we must be a responsible viewers and digitally responsible users too.

We will gain a better understanding of how we think, feel and act. That way, we will be able to eliminate the stigma and the biases that surround mental health, prevent social isolation and withdrawal while boosting one’s self esteem. We can help each other to accept ourselves and improve ourselves, thus, reducing the risk of suicide. Mental health is nothing to be ashamed of, because you are not alone.
