THE FRAMEWORK

K to 12 BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM

viii

Language is the foundation of all human relationships. All human relationships are established on the ability of people to communicate effectively with each other. Our thoughts, values and understandings are developed and expressed through language. This process allows students to understand better the world in which they live and contributes to the development of their personal perspectives of the global community. People use language to make sense of and bring order to their world. Therefore, proficiency in the language enables people to access, process and keep abreast of information, to engage with the wider and more diverse communities, and to learn about the role of language in their own lives, and in their own and other cultures.

Language is the basis of all communication and the primary instrument of thought. Thinking, learning, and language are interrelated. Language is governed by rules and systems (language conventions) which are used to explore and communicate meaning. It defines culture which is essential in understanding oneself (personal identity), forming interpersonal relationships (socialization), extending experiences, reflecting on thought and action, and contributing to a better society. Language, therefore, is central to the peoples’ intellectual, social and emotional development and has an essential role in all key learning areas1.

Language acquisition and learning is an active process that begins at birth and continues throughout life. It is continuous and recursive throughout students’ lives. Students enhance their language abilities by using what they know in new and more complex contexts and with increasing sophistication (spiral progression). They reflect on and use prior knowledge to extend and enhance their language and understanding. By learning and incorporating new language structures into their repertoire and using them in a variety of contexts, students develop language fluency and proficiency. Positive learning experiences in language-rich environments enable students to leave school with a desire to continue to extend their knowledge, skills and interests.

The K-12 Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum is anchored on the following language acquisition, learning, teaching and assessing principles. All languages are interrelated and interdependent. Facility in the first language (L1) strengthens and supports the learning of other languages (L 2). Acquisition of sets of skills and implicit metalinguistic knowledge in one language (common underlying proficiency or CUP) provides the base for the development of both the first language (L1) and the second language (L2) 2. It follows that any expansion of CUP that takes place in one language will have a beneficial effect on the other language(s). This principle serves to explain why it becomes easier and easier to learn additional languages.

An effective language arts and multiliteracies curriculum satisfies the following principles 6.

Successful language learning involves viewing, listening, speaking, reading and writing activities 5. Language learning should include a plethora of strategies and activities that helps students focus on both MEANING and ACCURACY. Language learning involves recognizing, accepting, valuing and building on students’ existing language competence, including the use of non-standard forms of the language, and extending the range of language available to students. Through language learning, learners develop functional and critical literacy skills. They learn to control and understand the conventions of the target language that are valued and rewarded by society and to reflect on and critically analyze their own use of language and the language of others.

Learners learn about language and how to use it effectively through their engagement with and study of texts. The term ‘text’ refers to any form of written (reading and writing), oral (listening and speaking) and visual communication involving language4. The texts through which students learn about language are wide-ranging and varied, from brief conversations to lengthy and complex forms of writing. The study of specific texts is the means by which learners achieve the desired outcomes of language, rather than an end in itself. Learners learn to create texts of their own and to engage with texts produced by other people.

Learning requires meaning . We learn when we use what we know to understand what is new. Start with what the students know; use that to introduce new concepts. They use language to examine new experiences and knowledge in relation to their prior knowledge, experiences, and beliefs. They make connections, anticipate possibilities, reflect upon ideas, and determine courses of action.

NEEDS OF THE LEARNERS : THE CONTEXT

Gen Z kids will grow up with a highly sophisticated media and computer environment and will be more Internet savvy and expert than their Gen Y forerunners.

While we don’t know much about Gen Z yet... we know a lot about the environment they are growing up in. This highly diverse environment will make the grade schools of the next generation the most diverse ever. Higher levels of technology will make significant inroads in academics allowing for customized instruction, data mining of student histories to enable diagnostics and remediation or accelerated achievement opportunities.

Members of Generation Z are adept at multi-tasking. They can text, read, watch, talk and even eat simultaneously. However, this has also led to reduced attention span leading to what psychologists call acquired attention deficit disorder. This generation is unable to analyze complex data and information as they cannot focus for very long.

For them, social media platforms are a way to communicate with the outside world. They are not bothered about privacy and are willing to share intimate details about themselves with complete strangers. They have virtual friends and for them hanging out with friends means talking to them over the cell phones, emails and text messages. However, at the same time, this generation is considered to be creative and collaborative and will have a significant impact on the way companies work when they join the workforce.

The generation born after the year 1994 until 2004 is referred to as Generation Z. This is the first generation to be born with complete technology. They were born with PCs, mobile phones, gaming devices, MP3 players and the ubiquitous Internet. They do not know life without technology. Hence, they are often termed as digital natives and are extremely comfortable with technology. They can email, text and use computers without any problems. In addition, members of Generation Z can understand and master advancement in technology. Unfortunately, this reliance on technology and gadgets has had a negative effect on the members. They rather stay indoors and use their electronics than play outdoors and be active. They are leading a sedentary life that can result in health problems later on.

OUTCOMES

Communicative Competence

Multiliteracies

Canale, M. and M. Swain. 1980. Theoretical bases of communicative approaches to second language teaching and testing. Applied Linguistics

Multiliteracies (multiliteracy practices) recognize that there are many kinds of literacy at work within our society. These include traditional literacy practices using texts as well as new literacy practices using texts of popular culture such as films. Social literacy encompasses how we communicate and exchange meaning in our society while professional literacy links with the notion of literacy for school or the workplace.

2.

4. Strategic Competence is to DO with the knowledge of verbal and non-verbal strategies to compensate for breakdown such as self-correction and at the same time to enhance the effectiveness of communication such as recognizing discourse structure, activating background knowledge, contextual guessing, and tolerating ambiguity.

3. Discourse Competence is the knowledge of rules regarding the cohesion (grammatical links) and coherence (appropriate combination of communicative actions) of various types of discourse (oral and written). Sociolinguistic rules of use and rules of discourse are crucial in interpreting utterances for social meaning, particularly when the literal meaning of an utterance does not lead to the speaker’s intention easily.

2. Sociolinguistic Competence refers to the learning of pragmatic aspect of various speech acts, namely, the cultural values, norms, and other sociocultural conventions in social contexts. They are the context and topic of discourse, the participant’s social status, sex, age, and other factors which influence styles and registers of speech. Since different situations call for different types of expressions as well as different beliefs, views, values, and attitudes, the development of sociolinguistic competence is essential for communicative social action.

1. Grammatical/Linguistic Competence means the acquisition of phonological rules, morphological words, syntactic rules, semantic rules, and lexical items.

Communicative competence is classified into the following competencies.

Communicative Competence is a synthesis of knowledge of basic grammatical principles, knowledge of how language is used in social settings to perform communicative functions, and how knowledge of utterances and communicative functions can be combined according to the principles of discourse.8

1.

The ultimate goal of the Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum is to produce graduates who apply the language conventions, principles, strategies and skills in (1) interacting with others, (2) understanding and learning other content areas, and (3) fending for themselves in whatever field of endeavour they may engage in.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Component 4 explains the holistic assessment of the Language Arts and Literacy Curriculum which serves as feedback of its effectiveness to students, teachers, school administrators, and curriculum developers.

Component 3 shows the interdependence and interrelationships of the macro-skills of the language (listening, speaking and viewing; reading, viewing and responding; writing and representing) and the development of thinking skills (critical thinking, creative thinking, and metacognition) allowing students to make meaning through language.

Component 2 describes knowledge and skill areas which are essential to effective language use (understanding of cultures, understanding language, processes and strategies) which will be developed through language arts (macro-skills).

Component 1 illustrates learning processes that will effect acquisition and learning of the language. It explains the HOW of language learning and therefore serves as guiding principles for language teaching.

The curriculum has five (5) components. Each component is essential to the learners’ ability to communicate effectively in a language leading them to achieve communicative competence and multiliteracies in the Mother Tongue, Filipino and English. The diagram on page 2 shows that the heart and core of LAMC is making meaning through language and aims to develop graduates who are communicatively competent and multiliterates.

The Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum (LAMC) addresses these needs. This is the rationale why Mother Tongue, Filipino, and English follow a unified framework which allows easy transition from acquiring and learning one language to another.

The world is now in the “Knowledge age” where the challenge of education is to prepare learners to deal with the challenges of the changing world. Students in this age must be prepared to compete in a global economy, understand and operate complex communication and information systems, and apply higher level thinking skills to make decisions and solve problems.

IV.

The curriculum aims to help learners acquire highly-developed literacy skills that enable them to understand that English language is the most widely used medium of communication in Trade and the Arts, Sciences, Mathematics, and in world economy. Furthermore, the curriculum aims to help learners understand that English language is a dynamic social process which responds to and reflects changing social conditions, and that English is inextricably involved with values, beliefs, and ways of thinking about ourselves and the world we dwell in. Through multiliteracy skills, learners will be able to appreciate and be sensitive to sociocultural diversity and understand that the meaning of any form of communication depends on context, purpose, and audience.

K to 12 BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM

6. Construction Making meaning is the heart of language learning and use. Learning tasks and activities will be designed for learners in such a way that they will have time to reflect on and respond to ideas and information. Learners will be provided with sufficient scaffolding so that they will be able to reach their full cognitive, affective, and psychomotor potentials and become independent learners who are good consumers and constructors of meaning.

5. Contextualization Learning tasks and activities will be designed for learners to acquire the language in authentic and meaningful contexts of use. For example, lessons will be planned around learning outcomes, a theme, or a type of text to help learners use related language skills, grammatical items/structures and vocabulary appropriately in spoken and written language to suit the purpose, audience, context, and culture. Learning points will be reinforced through explicit instruction and related follow-up practice.

4. Learner-Centeredness Learners are at the center of the teaching-learning process. Teaching will be differentiated according to students’ needs, abilities and interests. Effective pedagogies will be used to engage them and to strengthen their language development.

3. Integration The areas of language learning – the receptive skills, the productive skills, and grammar and vocabulary will be taught in an integrated way, together with the use of relevant print and non-print resources, to provide multiple perspectives and meaningful connections. Integration may come in different types either implicitly or explicitly (skills, content, theme, topic, and values integration).

2. Interaction Language learning will be situated in the context of communication (oral and written). Activities that simulate real-life situations of varying language demands (purposes, topics, and audiences) will be employed to help students interact with others thereby improve their socialization skills.

1. Spiral Progression Skills, grammatical items, structures and various types of texts will be taught, revised and revisited at increasing levels of difficulty and sophistication. This will allow students to progress from the foundational level to higher levels of language use.

For effective language acquisition and learning to take place, language teachers must be guided by the six (6) language teaching principles. These principles explain the natural process of language development.

COMPONENT 1: Language Learning Process

K to 12 BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM

xiv

3. PROCESS AND STRATEGIES. Learners select from a repertoire of processes and strategies by reflecting on their understanding of the way language works for a variety of purposes in a range of contexts. They deliberate on how they use language and apply different language strategies, depending on their purpose, context and audience. They use language as a way of coming to grips with new ideas, resolving difficulties or solving problems. They use strategies such as brainstorming and discussion as a way of developing ideas. They experiment, take risks and make approximations with language as a way of developing their language skills. They clarify what they need to know when seeking information for particular purposes. They use key-word searches and their understanding of the conventions of informational texts

2. UNDERSTANDING LANGUAGE. Learners apply their knowledge of the system of the language to assist them to make meaning and to create meaning. They come to recognize the patterns and rules of the language which emerge as they interact with a plethora of texts (literary and informational) to make meaning. They apply this knowledge and understanding to create their own spoken, written, and visual texts. Differences in language systems are expressed in a variety of ways: for example, in grammatical differentiations, variations in word order, word selection, or general stylistic variations in texts. By comparing the system of the language with the systems of other languages, students understand that each language is different, but has identifiable patterns within its own system.

Sociocultural understanding refers to knowing about the language speaking communities. It means taking into account the non-linguistic features in the life of a society. Learners broaden their frame of reference beyond their own social and cultural experiences. They gain insights into different values and belief systems and acknowledge the cultural contexts which underpin them. They make sense of the social fabric of the target language community. They understand that the natural and physical environments – as well as the social, economic, historical, and political environments – influence the language speaking groups and their cultural traditions.

1. UNDERSTANDING CULTURES. Learning language through text types and literary appreciation exposes learners to different cultures of the world, including one’s culture. Learners develop sociolinguistic and sociocultural understandings and apply them to their use of the language (Mother Tongue, Filipino, and English). Sociolinguistic understanding refers to appropriate language use. It is defined in this document as taking into account the social significance of linguistic forms and the linguistic implications of social facts. Language is a complex social practice that reflects and reinforces shared understandings about appropriate actions, values, beliefs and attitudes within a community. These shared understandings determine not only what is communicated and when and how it is communicated, but also who does the communicating. These collectively constitute the sociolinguistic features of language.

There are three major applications of the macro-skills of the language (Understanding of Cultures; Understanding Language; and Processes and Strategies). They are described as the knowledge and skill areas which are essential to effective language use demonstrated through the language macro-skills.

COMPONENT 2: Effective Language Use

K to 12 BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM

The revised curriculum re-organizes the Integrated Language Arts Curriculum according to the content standards that must be met by all students at the end of basic education. This is not inconsistent with the proposed 5 sub-strands of the Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum (LAMC) but fleshes out the areas that children need to learn and that teachers need to teach in greater detail. Below is the matrix that presents the spread and alignment of the language and literacy domains with the 5 sub-strands.

The Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum (LAMC) is composed of five (5) intricately intertwined and integrated sub-strands (listening, speaking, reading, writing, and viewing) that serve as building blocks for understanding and creation of meaning and for effective communication across curricula (Matrix 1).

The skills, grammatical items, structures and various types of texts will be taught, and revisited at increasing levels of difficulty and sophistication. This design allows students to progress from the foundational level to higher levels of language use.

Language is the major instrument in communication (oral and written) and the heart of which is the exchange of meaning. Language learning should focus on guiding students make meaning through language for different purposes on a range of topics and with a variety of audiences. Students must be able to adapt to various situations where communication demands greatly vary.

COMPONENT 3: Making Meaning through Language

Learners reflect on ethical considerations in the use of ideas and information. They recognize the importance of attributing sources of ideas and information, and of presenting or representing ideas and information in ways which are not misleading. They use quotation and sourcing conventions appropriately. They take into account the possible effects of and responses to the presentation of ideas and information.

such as tables of contents, headings, indexes, forewords, and glossaries as aids in locating information. They assess the usefulness of information for particular purposes. They treat information and ideas critically and evaluate information in terms of its reliability and currency. They make notes and graphic representations of information and combine information from different sources into a coherent whole by summarizing, comparing and synthesizing.

Assessment procedures are based on the notion that the interrelationships among the various aspects of language, such as phonology, grammar, and vocabulary, among others cannot be ignored. Also the four skills of language-listening, speaking, reading, and writing-are seen to be parts of a structurally integrated whole. Assessment approaches should be used for communication and self-expression. Assessment also takes into account the whole learner and his or her social, academic, and physical context.

2. A holistic view of language

Assessment procedures should be based on activities that have authentic communicative function rather than ones with little or no intrinsic communicative value. These activities are based on actual performance in authentic situations which the learner is likely to encounter in his or her daily life.

1. Proximity to actual language use and performance

Characteristics of Assessment

Assessment is an important aspect of learning and teaching. It should be effectively used to support the holistic development of our pupils. Our assessment practices should go beyond summative evaluation and move towards a more holistic approach. Holistic assessment refers to the ongoing gathering of information on different facets of a child from various sources, with the aim of providing qualitative and quantitative feedback to support and guide the child's development. Holistic assessment informs our teachers of their teaching practices and guides them in the design and delivery of student learning. It will also enable parents to support their children's development and growth.

COMPONENT 4: Holistic Assessment

3. Content includes print and electronic texts that are age, context and culture appropriate.

Coherence with the Basic Education Program Goals

K to 12 BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM

xix

For students, assessment should allow them to see their own accomplishments in terms that they understand and, consequently, allows them to assume responsibility for their learning. Assessment should allow parents to share in the educational process, and offers them a clear insight into what their children are doing in school. For teachers, the primary advantage of assessment is that it provides data on their students and their classroom for educational decision-making. In addition, it reports the success of the curriculum and provides teachers with a framework for organizing student’s works.

Assessment entails obtaining information about the learner from numerous sources and through various means.

5. Multiple referencing

Assessment procedures set expectations that are appropriate within the cognitive, social, and academic development of the learner. This characteristic of assessment makes it particularly valuable for second language learners who come from culturally diverse backgrounds and who may have atypical educational experiences.

4. Developmental appropriateness

Assessment attempts to capture the learner’s total array of skills and abilities. It measures language proficiency in the context of specific subject matter. Assessment procedures are based on the idea that various aspects of a learner’s life, both academic and personal, are integral to the development of language proficiency and cannot be ignored. These dimensions include not only processes such as acquiring and integrating knowledge, extending and refining knowledge, and using knowledge meaningfully, but also issues such as varying student attitudes towards learning.

All the activities in this phase are formative in nature. Scores must be recorded for instructional decision not to grade the students since teachers have to give inputs in this phase. Refer the students back to the tentative answers they have written on their notebooks for them to validate whether their tentative answers are correct or not. This process is important in validating, rethinking and revising their understanding.

It is the manner in which Whole class information is passed from one generation to the next in the absence of writing or a recording medium. In the days before nearuniversal literacy, bards would sing or chant their people’s stories. They employed various (mnemonic) techniques to aid in their own memory and to help their listeners keep track of the story. This oral tradition was a way to keep the history or culture of the people alive, and since it was a form of story-telling, it was a popular entertainment. As they read the Myth, ask them to look for the heroic qualities of Perseus and the personal challenges he has to overcome to acquire “the gorgon’s head”. Let them accomplish the Story Anticipation Guide in the LM. The teacher must also emphasize the following: 1. Before reading, mark whether the students agree or disagree with the statement. 2. After reading, fill in the column with the page number where they found their answer in the statement. Then ask the following questions for processing: Where you correct? If not, what did you learn?

25

Task 8. My Mystery Word Ask the students to unscramble Individual Work the letters to form the correct word in each item found in the LM. Then ask them to write the word in the box. Before reading the text, ask them to reflect on the question, “How do I build the best defenses against challenges to acquire the best quality of life possible for me?” Provide the learners with a copy of the texts. Allow them to write the questions and answers on the breakers (questions inside the boxes) to enrich their understanding of the text. Task 9. Dissecting the Text Test the students’ comprehension Individual Work of the text by asking the following questions: 1. What is “dreadful oracle” that is delivered to King Acrisius? 2. What adventure does Polydectes suggest that Perseus undertake? 3. List three perilous encounters Perseus experiences during his adventure. 4. Explain how the oracle given to King Acrisius is fulfilled. 5. What is Polydectes’s true motive in sending Perseus to kill Medusa? 6. Medusa is beheaded by Perseus, yet her head continues to have power. Explain how the evil gorgon’s head is beneficial to Perseus.

26

7. What heroic characteristics does persues have? 8. What help does he get on Small Group his quest? 9. How does Perseus’s quest enable him to prove himself a hero? Task 10. Visualizing the Text Group the students into five (5), each of the group will be given a specific task to work on. Group 1: Create a timeline of events in the story. Group 2: Create a Venn Diagram that compares the characteristics of Perseus and Medusa. Group 3: Create a diagram that shows the challenges overcame by Perseus in his quest to acquire the gorgon’s head. Group 4: Using the gorgon’s head as a diagram, point out at least five utterances of Perseus that strike your group the most. Group 5: Create a diagram that shows the relationship of all the characters in the myth. Process the activity using the following questions: 1. How did you feel about the activity? 2. What diagram is assigned to you? 3. Do you find diagramming difficult? Why or why not? 4. What help would these textual aids provide? Give the students time to respond to the questions and interact with their classmates.

27

Before doing the next task, ask the students to go back to their Anticipation-Reaction Guide found in the “Your Text” phase Task 11. Act and Counteract Let the students examine all the group’s outputs from the previous task. Let them note something about the outputs of the other groups. Remind them not to write anything about their own group’s output. Processing the activities using Individual Work the questions below. 1. What specific characteristics does each of the diagrams have you noticed? 2. Are there notable similarities or differences among the diagrams? 3. How would these diagrams help you in understanding the text as a whole? Task 12. My Coat of Arms Remind them that to be able to kill the gorgon, Perseus built an intelligent line of defenses. Then ask the students to identify what these defenses are using the coat of arm diagram found in the LM. Process the activity. Task 13. Make Sense to Me Have them pick out at least ten (10) sentences from the myth “The Gorgon’s Head” that shows sensory images. Let them identify the senses to which these statements appeal.

28

Process the activity. Task 14. Triple Treat Present to the students paragraphs lifted from “The Gorgon’s Head”. Ask them to: Task 14A. Circle all the pronouns in the paragraph. That was the last Perseus ever used the horrible head. (1-2) He gave it most willingly to Athene, who kept it ever after. (3) Now that the Polydectes was dead, Danae yearned to go home again and be reconciled to her father. (4) So perseus made the fisherman Dictys King of island and sailed with his mother and Andromeda to Greece. (5-6) But it happened that when they came to Argos, King Acrisius was away from home. (7) Games were being held in Larissa, and Perseus, hearing of them, decided to go there and take part. (8) And there at the game it was that the oracle with Acrisius had received at Delphi was strangely fulfilled. (9) For when it came Perseus’ turn to throw the discus, (10-11) he threw it so that it swerved to one side. (12) It landed among the spectators and killed an old man. That old man was King Acrisius, who had gone to such cruel lengths to avoid the fate which the gods had ordained. Task 14B. Paraphrase at least five (5) sentences by transforming the circled pronouns into reflexive or intensive pronouns

29

IF APPLICABLE. Write R on the blank before each item if the pronoun is Reflexive or I if Intensive. Task 14C. Using the previous examples of Reflexive and Intensive pronouns, compare and contrast the two. Task 15. A Hero in Me Let them read the stimulus “A hero saves the day. Saving people and saving lives could be in any form possible.” Then ask them to complete the chart and answer the questions found in the LM. Ask the students if they are ready to proceed to the next phase of the lesson as part of assessment of learning. Your Discovery Tasks Pedagogy: Remember that the discovery tasks allow the students to enrich learning by contextualizing, localizing and differentiating instruction. Your main target in this phase is to provide them the understanding of content as applied to a variety of context. Here is where the teacher associates the theme to the lerners’ personal experience and it should therefore provide them the opportunity to answer the essential questions raised at the beginning of the lesson.

Provide inputs on Discrimination: Discrimination is the unequal treatment provided to one or more parties on the basis of a mutual accord or some other logical or illogical reason. Task 16. Award in the Ward Examine the editorial cartoon Whole class found in the LM. Ask them to share responses. Processing the activity using the following questions: 1. What is the cartoon all about? 2. What kind of discrimination is shown in the cartoon? 3. What would you do if you are in the show of the one discriminated? 4. What would you do if you have the power to change this scenario 30

Assessment: All the activities in this phase are formative in nature and must be recorded but not graded as bases for instructional decision whether to proceed to the next activity depending on the needs of your learners. Refer the students back to the tentative answers they have written on their notebooks to validate whether their tentative answers are correct or not. This process is important in validating, rethinking and revising their understanding. At the end of this phase, just before doing the final task, the teacher may provide a summative test (pen-and-paper or authentic task) which sums up the content standards. Remember that the phase operate in the premise that performance standards are done only if the content standards are addressed and fully understood. This summative test is recorded and graded.

Task 17. Different and Singled Individual work Out Ask the students to work in groups. As a group, they will identify specific scenarios where discrimination is happening. Accomplish the chart found in the LM. Process the activity Task 18. Caps Locked There are situations that would Small Group challenge the students to make use of their specific strength. Each cap below represents a strength one need to use in deciding how to go about the situation described in the LM. Examine the situation and complete the colored caps chart that follow. White Cap – is the optimistic cap that sees all the positive and bright sides of the situation. Black Cap – is the pessimist cap and sees nothing but the disadvantages of the situation. Yellow Cap – is the creative cap and sees the creative and out-ofthis-world side of the situation. Red Cap – is the emotional cap and expresses nothing but feelings about an issue Blue Cap – is the rational cap and judges situations based on facts and obvious evidences.

31

Task 19. Creating a Goal Invite the students to stimulus “Building up is like creating a goal. Each defence is achieving success.”

Personal read the Individual work defences personal critical in

Using the organizer found in the LM, ask the students to create a personal goal for the next five years. To process the activity, invite the students to go back to the motive question before reading “The Gorgon’s Head”. Now is the time to answer the question: How do I build the best defences against challenges to acquire the best quality of life possible for me? Ask the students if they are ready to proceed to the next phase of the lesson as part of assessment of learning. Provide a short summative test that sums up the content standard and must be recorded and graded as part of assessment of learning. Task 20.

Invite the students to work on the pre-requisites to check their background knowledge, and to In presenting this part of the prepare them for the development module, the teacher should of their skills on the target through the following tasks/activities: be able to:

Your Initial Tasks Pedagogy:

• • •

•

diagnose and activate prior knowledge; hook and engage learner’s interest; ask questions; encourage student questions; welcome tentative responses as guide to further exploration; and clarify the learners’ expectations and how learning shall be assessed by presenting the enabling activity and the rubrics.

Assessment: •

•

All the activities in this phase are diagnostic in nature. Scores must be recorded to help the teacher plan the succeeding lessons and not to grade the students since teachers have no inputs in this phase. All answers are tentative and must be written on their notebooks for reference.

Task 1. Boy-Girl Power Make them visualize the strengths of a boy and a girl and how can they make use of these strengths to solve the problem which is to successfully come out of the box. Relate it to the theme capitalizing on one’s strengths and weaknesses. Ask the following processing questions: 1. What qualities of Joaquin have you identified? How about Cristina? 2. In what way could these qualities help them escape from the box? 3. How does the web help you sort boys’ characteristics from the girls? Could you think of other organizers that would best fit the purpose? 4. Do you think we could interchange the qualities of Joaquin and Cristina? What would interchanging their qualities imply? Gender Advocacy and Development is integrated in this activity, and the teacher may also ask other questions relating the topic to the activity. Interchange the names of Joaquin and Cristina and ask students for reactions. Use this activity to motivate.

Small group discussion

Small group discussion

Task 2. Let it Go! Ask the students to view or listen to the song entitled “Let it Go” from the movie FROZEN.

Small group discussion

Before listening to the song, present a concept map of the words Implicit and explicit on the board to clarify them of what they are expected to do in the activity.

Small group discussion

Ask them to determine implicit and explicit signals from the lyrics that are used by the singer to highlight significant points. Ask the following questions:

Individual work

1. What is the song all about? 2. What explicit and implicit signals used by the singer to highlight significant points have you indentified? 3. How do these signals help add value to the lyrics and over all meaning of the song? Remember that all the students’ responses in the initial tasks are tentative/initial answers and the teacher must, therefore, accept all the answers. Task 3. What are you made of? Ask the students to revisit the objectives. The objectives will tell the students what topics are to be expected for discussion. Considering the goals of the module. Ask them to etch everything that they know about the topic on the stone tablet, all that they are not sure in the quill and all that they still want to know in the pencil.

Assessment: • All the activities in this phase are formative in nature. Scores must be recorded for instructional decision not to grade the students since teachers have to inputs in this phase. • Refer the students back to the tentative answers they have written on their notebooks to validate whether their tentative answers are correct or not. This process is important in validating, rethinking and revising their understanding.

Repeat the process until everyone is done reading. - (Silent Reading) Ask the student to read the story silently. Ask them to pause every two minutes to organize the sequence of the story in their minds. You may use the breakers (questions inside the box) for these purpose. After reading, they may answer the following questions 1. What is the greatest strength of Orpheus? How about his weakness? 2. What effect does Orpheu’s music have on people and gods? Cite two examples in the text. 3. Why does Orpheus decide to rescue his wife from the underworld? 4. Why does Orpheus look back to see if Eurydice is following him? 5. What reasons might the gods have for allowing Orpheus and Eurydice to be reunited? 6. Explain why the gods put a condition on permitting Orpheus and his bride to return to earth. 7. What main characteristic of this text makes it a myth? 8. To whom does Orpheus owe his talent? Why was he able to win the sympathy of the gods? 9. In what situations were the gods willing to help humans?

10. Does the story reveal certain realities about Greeks? What are these? 11. Do these realities influence the way you think and live? How? Task 6. Element-Array Ask the students to form five (5) groups. Each group will draw their own bulb puzzle and answer the field required by each piece of the puzzle. Give them about five or ten minutes to do the task. Ask a representative from each group to report the group’s output. It is also important that you give the other groups to comment on the output presented by the other groups to make the discussion interactive. After all the group representatives are done with the presentation, ask them the following questions: 1. How do the elements help you understand the flow of the story? 2. In what way do the elements contribute to your understanding of the selection’s over-all theme? 3. How is a puzzle related with understanding elements to make up a whole? Task 7. Alice Low Provide inputs or recall previous discussions on tone, mood, technique, and purpose of the author in writing a text.

41

After your short discussion, ask them to recall the story of Orpheus. Present to them the chart found in task 6 of this lesson and ask them to fill out the bubbles with the corresponding answers. Ask someone to present the output in class and allow everyone to have a free discussion about each other’s responses. Ask the students if they are ready to proceed to the next phase of the lesson as part of assessment of learning. Your Discovery Tasks Pedagogy: Remember that the discovery tasks allow the students to enrich learning by contextualizing, localizing and differentiating instruction. Your main target in this phase is to provide them the understanding of content as applied to a variety of context. Here is where the teacher associates the theme to the learners’ personal experience and it should therefore provide them the opportunity to answer the essential questions raised at the beginning of the lesson.

To begin with this phase, provide the students with inputs on movie adaptations. Please refer to the learner’s module for this purpose. The teacher may add inputs if necessary. Task 8. Piece of Pi Ask the students to view the 2012 film adaptation of Life of Pi by Yann Martel. While watching, ask them to take note of the important details in the movie. Ask them to answer the following questions: 1. In his introductory note Yann Martel says, “This book was born as I was hungry.” What sort of emotional nourishment might Life of Pi have fed to its author? 2. Pondicherry is described as an anomaly, the former capital of what was once French India. In terms of storytelling, what makes this town an appropriate choice for Pi’s upbringing? 42

Whole class

Assessment: All the activities in this phase are formative in nature and must be recorded but not graded as bases for instructional decision whether to proceed to the next activity depending on the needs of your learners. Refer the students back to the tentative answers they have written on their notebooks to validate whether their tentative answers are correct or not. This process is important in validating, rethinking and revising their understanding. At the end of this phase, just before doing the final task, the teacher may provide a summative test (pen-and-paper or authentic task) which sums up the content standards. Remember that the phase operate in the premise that performance standards are done only if the content standards are addressed and fully understood. This summative test is recorded and graded.

3. Yann Martel recalls that many Pondicherry residents provided him with stories, but he was most intrigued by this tale because Mr. Adirubasamy said it would make him believe in God. Did Pi’s tale alter your beliefs about God? 4. Early in the novel, we discover that the narrator majored in religious studies and zoology, with particular interests in a sixteenthcentury Kabbalist and the admirable three-toed sloth. In subsequent chapters, he explains the ways in which religions and zoos are both steeped in illusion. Discuss some of the other ways in which these two fields find unlikely compatibility. 5. Pi’s full name, Piscine Molitor Patel, was inspired by a Parisian swimming pool that “the gods would have delighted to swim in.” The shortened form refers to the ratio of a circle’s circumference divided by its diameter. Explore the significance of Pi’s unusual name. 6. How would the novel’s flavor be changed if Pi’s sole surviving animal were the zebra or Orange Juice? (We assume that if the hyena had been the only surviving animal, Pi would not have lived to tell us his story.)

43

7. Pi sparks a lively debate when all three of his spiritual advisors try to claim him. At the heart of this confrontation is Pi’s insistence that he cannot accept an exclusively Hindu, Christian, or Muslim faith; he can only be content with all three. What is Pi seeking that can solely be attained by this apparent contradiction? 8. What do you make of Pi’s assertion that we are all “in limbo, without religion, until some figure introduces us to God”? Do you believe that Pi’s piousness was a response to his father’s atheism? 9. Among Yann Martel’s gifts is a rich descriptive palette. Regarding religion, he observes the green elements that represent Islam and the orange tones of Hinduism. What color would Christianity be, according to Pi’s perspective? 10. How do the human beings in your world reflect the animal behavior observed by Pi? What do Pi’s strategies for dealing with Richard Parker teach us about confronting the fearsome creatures in our lives? 11. Besides the loss of his family and possessions, what else did Pi lose

44

when the Tsimtsum sank? What did he gain? 12. Nearly everyone experiences a turning point that represents the transition from youth to adulthood, albeit seldom as traumatic as Pi’s. What event marks your coming of age? 13. How does Mr. Patel’s zoo keeping abilities compare to his parenting skills? Discuss the scene in which his tries to to teach his children a lesson in survival by arranging for them to watch a tiger devour a goat. Did this in any way prepare Pi for the most dangerous experience of his life? 14. Why did Pi at first try so hard to save Richard Parker? 15. Pi imagines that his brother would have teasingly called him Noah. How does Pi’s voyage compare to the biblical story of Noah, who was spared from the flood while God washed away the sinners? Before asking the students to accomplish Task 8, the teacher must provide inputs on strategies in public speaking. After the discussion, provide them with a copy of the selected dialogues from Life of Pi and ask them to deliver the lines using the techniques.

45

After doing the task, have the students answer the following questions: 1. Describe the public speaking techniques used by your partner in each of the quotations above. 2. How do these techniques help you in persuading your partner? Task 8.1 Thin Line Ask the students to create sentences opposite each picture using modals expressing probability. The teacher might provide inputs on modals that express probability before doing the activity. Task 8.2 A Quote on Quote Present the stimulus found in the learning material. The situation is about surviving a shipwreck by being accurate in all the movements and actions. Ask them to put themselves in the shoes of Mr. Patel, to internalize the situation. As they do the activity, ask them to use appropriate modals that express “ability”. Task 8.3 Classifying Things Require the students to picture the Patel’s zoo in their minds. Ask them to classify the animals using modals that express “possibility”. Task 8. 4 Market! Market! Ask the students to establish the relationship of each of the paired marketing concepts in the learner’s material. Ask them to use modals expressing probability in their answers.

46

Task 9. Modal Modes Have the students imagine Orpheus, Pi Patel, and Queen Elsa sitting together in a conference about how they capitalized on their strengths and weakness to overcome their individual challenges. 1. Ask them what would be their response? 2. Which of these strategies would you adopt and why? Task 10. A Gift of Change Ask the students to remember the gifts of Orpheus, Pi and Queen Elsa. Ask them If they possess all the gifts the three characters have, how would they use them in improving/resolving each of the social issues presented in the learner’s material. Task 11. A Letter Later Ask the students to write a letter to themselves that they have to open 20 years from now. Have them highlight in their letters they were able to capitalize their strengths and weaknesses to be a better person that they have become 20 years ahead of time. Encourage them to use statements expressing opinions or strong assertions in their letter. Task 12. Best Magic Ever Allow the students to read the stimulus: “Overcoming individual challenges is a difficult task but not that difficult to require magic and dissolve them at a snap of our fingers. The best way to address them is to have the willingness to change. The best magic ever is the recognition of your strengths

47

and admission of weaknesses these will make you a better person.” Ask them to contemplate on the stimulus. Ask the students if they are ready to proceed to the next phase of the lesson as part of assessment of learning. Provide a short summative test that sums up the content standard and must be recorded and graded as part of assessment of learning. Final Task Pedagogy: Final task is the part of the module that addresses the performance standard. But since this is the final task of Lesson 3, the task is referred to as “enabling task” or “enabling activity. This enabling activity forms a scaffold to the succeeding activities to equip the learners with skills in performing the culminating activity or the performance standard for the first quarter. Teachers should bear in mind that this phase: •

•

•

serves as enabling task for the main product/ performance at the end of each module; includes tasks that are essential for learners’ development; is based on real life situations (if the teacher wishes to do modifications or improvisations)

Remind the students that at the end of the quarter, they are to compose a short persuasive text using a variety of persuasive techniques and devices. Remind them also that in this particular module, the enabling activity would be an Information Ad Campaign. Tell them that the succeeding tasks will walk them through the process of making the Info Ad Campaign. Task 13. Ad Type Cast Ask the students to recall as many TV commercials as they can. Then analyze the commercials using the following questions: 1. Do only boys play with action toys? 2. Do only girls use kitchen appliances? 3. Do only women cook food? 4. Is one gender depicted in a superior role? After the presentation, process the activity using the following questions.

48

Individual work

Assessment: •

GRASPS-based assessment criteria

1. Which ad is the most sexist? Least sexist? 2. What implication does it make on capitalizing one’s strength and weaknesses? 3. How would this help you in crafting your own information ad campaign? Task 14. Ask a Professional Ask them to speak to the school nurse/doctor/dentist about some advertising claims. Example questions could be: Is one medicine better than another? Does some toothpaste make your teeth whiter? Ask the students to present some of their works to the class. Process the activity using the following questions: 1. What do these claims tell about advertising? 2. How would this information help you in crafting your own information ad campaign? Task 15. Past Forward Ask the students to make a research about a person or group of people whose advocacies are to make people self-reliant (strengths and weaknesses). Be sure to include responses to the following questions: • What was this person or group fighting for? • What were some of the efforts they used for achieving social justice?

49

• • •

Were these efforts successful? Why or why not? How was this success measured? Are they still pursuing these ideals? If not, has someone else or another organization continued to pursue their work?

Task 16. Thanks for the Ad! Allow the students to draw inspiration from Task 14. Ask them to make their own Information Ad (TV, radio or print) that would campaign on capitalizing strengths and weaknesses. Present the rubrics. Ask them if there are needed clarifications. Allow the students to craft their own rubrics as part of assessment of learning. Allow the students to present their outputs in the class. Provide feedback. My Treasure This part of the module sums up all the essential understandings one must draw out of this lesson. It is important that answers are authentic inasmuch as the word “MY” implies that this part of the lesson is where the students develop a sense of ownership.

Ask the students to read the lines below: “In order to capitalize your strength, you first have to know what your strengths are and for what purpose are you intending to use them. Recognizing yourweaknesses will give more meaning to your strengths. If you can transform your weaknesses into strengths and opportunities, you can never go wrong.” Using the lines as stimulus, provide them with enough time to revisit all the activities they have done in the lesson before completing the open–ended questions. 50
