Using the space below, write a letter to your friend about the following:
During the months of lockdown, what were the 5 routines or reactions you did at home? An
example would be; “I slept most of the time.” Or, “I watch television.” Others may say,” Nothing.
I help in the household chores.” Number them from 1-5, and write them down on the front part
of your letter. Double click on the clip art to add some text.
Module 1: Activity (continued)

On the back page of your letter, write to your friend about your feelings towards your
reactions or routines. An example of feeling would be; “I felt bored.” Or, “I felt afraid.” Others
may say, “I experienced anxiety.” You can repeat your feelings, but, you may not repeat the
routines or reactions. You can explain why you felt that way or why you reacted that way. You

Tangayin man ng hangin
Hinding hindi matitinag!
