VII. Learning Ask: What wedge is used in making pillowcase?
Enablement :
( to be done at Since our topic in TLE for the third quarter is Home
home) Economics, I want you to make a pillowcase. That would serve
as your project in TLE for the 3rd quarter. Remember to make a
project plan first. Do not forget to follow the safety precautions
in handling scissors and needle.
