the problem or a similar problem?
4. What do you think are the causes of the problem/s shown in the
clips?
5. What solutions to the problems were done? Were they done
individually or collectively? Can solutions to problems be
achieved when everybody does his part? How?

The students will have the same grouping for their abstraction.
They will write what they learned through a prayer.
Sample prayer:
Father in Heaven,

Introduction:
Pronoun is a part of speech substituted to a noun in a sentence.

TASK 2. INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM
Study the following notes about reflexive and intensive pronouns.
Write your findings on your notebook. Then, share your findings to your
classmates.
A reflexive pronoun ends with -self or -selves and refers to the
subject of a sentence. In a sentence with a reflexive pronoun, the action of
the verb returns to the subject. The words myself, yourself, himself,
herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves are reflexive
pronouns.
We bought ourselves pretzels at the fair.
My brother made himself some dinner.
You can walk to school by yourself.
The words myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves,
yourselves, and themselves can also be used as intensive pronouns. Use
an intensive pronoun to draw special attention to a noun or a pronoun
already named. Intensive pronouns usually appear right after the noun or
pronoun they are

impressive photo essay where you‘ll use graphics or visuals and text
representation / captions. This is another concept that uses comic book
format to present information in new ways to make learning fun. For you
to make it as the best, you must follow some steps. Here are some ideas
for the production of your photo essay. Study the tips before you plunge
into it. Keep these points in mind as you go through the process of
creating your photo essay.
C. Unlimited
• Take a closer look at these samples of photo essay (to be provided
by your teacher) and find out how each establishes the tone, mood,
and theme of the essay through visuals and text.
• Since visuals are keys to the meaning of your work, collect
photos,
pictures (from magazines, newspapers, print ads, commercial ads,
journals, etc.), drawings, video segment (if possible), or illustrations
that show and relate to the theme or the message of your chosen
literary selections.
• Display these pictures, drawings, illustrations, or video segments.
Use the visuals / graphics to highlight the incidents and examples
which are used as support and evidences for impact. Remember to
explain the significance of each illustration or drawing. The text
should be serious and straightforward. Your opinion (personal
feelings or beliefs) about the characters and the incidents must
support the drawing or illustration.
• Organize these visuals and text according to your preference, and
establish the connection between and among your visuals, texts,
and main idea. Do not forget to show how the visuals and text
convey your main idea, then use them to prove your stand about
how one can deal with personal challenges.
• Summarize the ideas you have presented, restate your position or
stand, and invite your audience to deal with personal challenges
positively. Provide a catchy and meaningful title of your photo
essay.
• Edit, refine, and polish your work.

III - LEARNING TASKS
Introduction:
A persuasive essay is a piece of writing that attempts to convince
the readers to agree with author‘s ideas. In this type of essay, the writer
can use his own ideas, opinions and evoke the emotions in the reader
in order to convince them to agree to his opinion. A writer of a
persuasive essay needs to do research, gather evidence, but a clever
writer can create a successful essay without knowing much. This is
because; a persuasive writing appeals more to reader‘s emotions rather
than minds. In persuasive writing, the writer should have certain
awareness about the audience. For example, opinions and ideas that
could appeal to teenagers may not have the same effect on adults. First
person narration and Second person narration (Ex: In my opinion, I
believe, etc.,) are commonly used as the writer is addressing the audience
directly.

TASK 1. PROVING PROVERBS
If you ever had someone say to you, ‗‘ Don‘t cry over spilled milk,‘‘
or comment , ‗‘ Easy come, easy go,‘‘ then you have received advice in
the form of a proverb. Proverbs are simply short bits of wisdom that
people all over the world have used for thousands of years. Proverbs offer
advice and explanations on how we ought to feel about the things that
happen to us.
They don‘t lecture or preach sermons; they sum up in a few well-chosen
words what experience has taught. People of different cultures, living
thousands of miles apart, often have similar proverbs, because each
proverb is about a proverb that occurs frequently in the lives of all human
beings. Proverbs are a form of folklore that is essentially universal. Think
about these proverbs and relate them with your own experience.
He who rides the tiger find it difficult to dismount.
He who stands with his feet on two ships will be drowned.
If you want to go fast, go the old road.
Little by little grow the bananas.
Two captains sink the ship.
Ice three feet thick isn’t frozen in the day.
If you climb up a tree, you must climb down the same tree.

one‘s parents, talking politely to one‘s parents, supporting family traditions,
caring for elderly family members and living in a way that brings honor to
the family name.
Tell the class that respect for parents — also called ―filial piety‖ — is a
cherished virtue in Confucianism, a philosophy in China that has been a
chief cultural influence for centuries. In Confucian teaching, filial piety
should guide the thoughts and actions of children toward their parents
throughout their lives and help individuals to understand their place in
society as they demonstrate respect to all elders.
Display the chart ―Confucianism and Filial Piety.‖ Explain that it quotes a
few examples of Confucian teachings related to filial piety. Read through
the quotes one by one and ask students to interpret their meanings.
Record student ideas to the right of each quote. Then discuss:
1. How might defining family roles and responsibilities contribute to

TASK 5. CLIPPINGS
Use a world map to point out where China is located. Explain that
the traditional family in China is changing with the country‘s rapid
industrialization. Today, China has more than 130 million workers who
migrate to jobs in urban areas so they can support their families back
home. Tell students that they are going to watch a series of video clips
that show the circumstances of the Zhang family, whose story is
representative of millions of others.
Set up the clips by explaining that the Zhangs have two children,
who have been raised in the family‘s home village in Sichuan province
while the parents work together in a garment factory in Guangzhou, a city
in Guangdong province. Use a political map of China to show the class
where these areas are located. Point out that there are about 1,300 miles
between where the parents live and where the children live. Explain that
children are unable to migrate with their parents because in China access
to public benefits, such as education and health care, is tied to one‘s place
of birth. Then, show Clip 1.
1. What roles do poverty and family relationships play in the
willingness of workers to endure long separations from family?
2. How do you think traditional Chinese culture will be affected over
time by the circumstances of China‘s migrant workers?
How can China better balance economic development with the needs of
its people?
3. Show Clips 3 and 4 to explain further how living apart has
affected the Zhang family. In Clip 3, Suqin explains why she left her one-
year-old daughter Qin at home 16 years earlier. Clip 4 shows how Qin has
resented her parents‘ absence.
After watching the clips, point out that Qin feels that her parents
abandoned her and that they only care about money, but her mother
believes that her sacrifice demonstrates her love for her children because
she is working to give them a more economically secure life. Ask students
to describe how these divergent perspectives have affected the family
bond between mother and daughter.
