7 CONTINENTS

Africa
Africa’s land mass crosses the equator and is bordered by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Its highest point is Mt. Kilimanjaro at 19,340 feet and its lowest point is Lake Assal at 512 feet below sea level. It is home to about 778,000,000 people and consists of 53 countries, the most of any continent. This picture shows an African Elephant, the largest mammal on earth.

Asia
Asia is in the Northern Hemisphere and is attached to Europe. The highest point, Mt. Everest at 29,028 feet, is in Tibet and Nepal, which are located in Asia. The lowest point is the Dead Sea at 1341 feet below sea level. Asia has the largest population of any other continent and has 47 countries. This is a picture of The Great Wall of China, built in the 7^th and 8^th centuries B.C., stretches for 4,163 miles.

Antarctica
Antarctica is the only continent with a population of zero. With such cold and harsh weather conditions, it is unable to provide a home to human beings. The coldest temperature ever recorded was in Antarctica on July 21, 1983 when it reached -129 degrees Fahrenheit! As this picture illustrates, about 98% of the terrain is made up of ice and the other 2% is rock. Antarctica is populated by a variety of wildlife including penguins, whales, seals, fish, and many more.

Australia
Australia, also known as “the land down under,” is an island located in the Southern Hemisphere. Because it is located below the equator, winter in Australia is during June, July, and August, the opposite. Its capital is Sydney. Australia is home to about 31,000,000 people and has 14 countries.

Europe
Europe is located in the Northern Hemisphere and is attached to Asia. This continent is sometimes referred to as “Eurasia” since it is one land mass. Europe has a population of about 342,000,000 people and is made up of 43 countries. This picture shows the Eiffel Tower, a famous landmark located in Paris, France.

North America
North America consists of three territories: Canada, The United States, and Mexico. The United States consists of 50 states with the capital located in Washington D.C. This is a picture of the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of American freedom. North America is home to 483,000,000 people, which makes it the 4^th largest populated continent.

South America
South America is mostly located in the Southern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. South America is populated by 342,000,000 people and consists of 12 countries. This picture shows the Amazon Rainforest, which gets nine feet of rain every year! Because of such thick vegetation, about 20% of earth's oxygen is produced by the rainforest.

Illusions

Illusions;

This optical illusion looks like the face of a beautiful woman, but it also looks like a cartoon of a man playing some music on his saxaphone. If you can't see it, the man with the Sax is facing the right, and his big nose is the shadow or hair on the woman's face.

If you wonder how someone can come up with an eye trick like this, the first thing to do is just look a drawing that you already have, and in your mind just imagine that it could be something else. Kind of like when you look at clouds. Then, redraw the picture so that it looks even more like that subject.

Sad Story

A sad story,

You and your best friend planed to have a dinner with your special someone on your birthday, your so excited and your best friend comes 1st in your house. Your both so happy chatting while waiting for your special someone. It was 12 noon and the power went out, the phone rang and you answered it while your best friend was looking for a candle; On the phone was your special someone telling you that your best friend was in the hospital dead; You saw your best friend smilling at you, holding a candle saying, " I WILL MISS YOU FOR EVER...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"

Pagbasa; Kahulugan , Proseso at Katangian at Teorya

*Pagbasa - ay pagkilala at pagkuha ng mga ideya at kaisipan sa mga sagisag na nakalimbag upang mabigkas nang pasalita. Ito rin ay pag-unawa sa wika ng aktor sa pamamagitan ng mga nakasulat na simbulo.

*Proseso at Katangian

1. Persepsyon - hakbang sa pagkilala sa mga nakalimbag na simbulo at maging sa pagbigkas nang wasto sa mga simbulong nababasa.
2. Komprehensyon - Pagproproseso ito ng mga impormasyon o kaisipang ipinahahayag ng simbulong nakalimbag na binasa.
3. Reaksyon - hinahatulan o pinagpapasyahan ang kawastuhan,kahusayan at pagpapahalaga ng isang tekstong binasa.
4. Asimilasyon - isinasama at iniuugnay ang kaalamang nabasa sa mga dati nang kaalaman o karanasan.

*Teorya

1. Teoryang Bottom-up

Ayon sa teoryang ito, ang pagbasa ay ang pagkilala ng mga serye ng mga nakasulat na simbulo upang maibigay ang katumbas nitong tugon. Nananalig ang teoryang ito na ang pagkatuto sa pagbasa ay nagsisimula sa yugto-yugtong pagkilala ng mga titik sa salita, parirala at pangungusap ng teksto,bago pa man ang pagpapakahulugan sa buong teksto.
Ang proseso ng pag- unawa, ayon sa teoryang ito, ay nagsisimula sa teksto (botom) patungo sa mambabasa (up) kaya nga tinawag itong bottom-up.

2. Teoryang Top-down
Ang pananaw na ito ay impluwensya ng sikolohiyang Geatalt na naniniwalang ang pagbasa ay isang prosesong holistik. Ayon sa proponent nito, ang mambabasa ay isang napakaaktib na partisipant sa proseso ng pagbasa, na siya ay may taglay na dating kaalaman (prior knowledge) na nakaimbak sa kanyang isipan at may sariling kakayahan sa wika (language proficiency) at kanyang ginagamit habang siya ay nakikipagtalastasan sa awtor sa pamamagitan ng teksto.
Tinatawag din itong teoryang inside out o conceptually-driven dahil ang kahulugan o impormasyon ay nagsisimula sa mambabasa patungo sa teksto. Ito ay nagaganap dahil ang mambabasa ay gumagamit ng kanyang dating kaalaman at mga konseptong nabuo sa kanyang isipan mula sa kanyang mga karanasan at pananawa sa paligid. Bunga nito, nakakabuo siya ng mga palagay at hinuha na kanyang iniuugnay sa mga ideyang inilalahad ng awtor ng isang teksto.

3. Teoryang Interaktib
Ayon sa teoryang ito, ang teksto ay kumakatawan sa wika at kaisipan ng awtor at sa pag-unawa nito, ang isang mambabasa ay gumagamtit ng kanyang kaalaman sa wika at mga sariling konsepto o kaisipan. Dito nagaganap ang interaksyong awtor-mambabasa at mambabasa-awtor. Ang interaksyon, kung gayon, ay may dalawang direksyon o bi-directional.
Masasaing ang teoryang ito ay isang pagbibigay diin sa pag-unawa sa pagbasa bilang proseso at hindi bilang produkto.

4. Teoryang Iskima
Ayon sa teoryang ito, bawat bagong impormasyong nakukuha sa pagbabasa ay naidaragdag sa dati nang iskima. Samakatwid , bago pa man basahin ng isang mambabasa ang isang teksto, siya ay may taglay nang ideya sa nilalaman ng teksto mula sa kanyang iskima sa paksa. Maaring binabasa niya lamang ang teksto upang patunayan kung ang hinuha o hula niya tungkol sa teksto ay tama, kulang o dapat baguhin. Dahil dito, masasabing ang teksto ay isang input lamang sa proseso ng komprehensyon. Hindi teksto ang iniikutan ng proses ng pagbasa, kundi ang tekstong nabubuo sa isipan ng mambabasa.
