 Performance Task
Goal:
Your goal is to identify and propose solutions to one
environmental problem in the country by applying physics
principles with the help of your fellow youth counselors for the
protection of the environment (CPE).

Role:
You and your fellow youth counselors are sent by the
government to a physics seminar [actual Physics 1 class
sessions] to gain insights on physics problem solving. You are
required to attend all sessions of the seminar.
 Performance Task
(continuation)

Audience:
Your audience will be the community leaders, government
officials, media, and the seminar facilitator who will support
your proposal.

Situation:
At the end of the quarter, you and your fellow counselors have
identified 1 environmental problem in the country, with
corresponding solutions.
 Performance Task
(continuation)
Product:
At least 2 sentences stating the problem and at least 2
sentences proposed solution applying physics principles. (The
mathematical analysis is not required yet for the 1st quarter but
will be submitted on the 2nd quarter). These are submitted
online [thru Blackboard LMS] so that the media can view your
environmental problem-solving proposal.

Note: The whole class will be taken as one group. However,

attendance during each class session will be recorded
individually. Your class representative will act as your facilitator
in this performance task.
 Performance Task Standards
(continuation)
1st quarter performance task scores:
►attendance during class sessions = 10 points per session
►the problem with the solution and physics principle involved
(no mathematical analysis yet) = scoring rubrics to be given later
To be submitted on or before August 5 (Monday 5 pm)

2nd quarter performance task scores:

►attendance during class sessions = 10 points per session
►mathematical analysis of the problem = scoring rubrics to be
given later
To be submitted on or before October 7 (Monday 5 pm)
 STANDARD: SCORING GUIDELINES
Attendance (Class Participation & Engagement)

HPS every meeting = 10 points

Present (on-time) = 10 points

15 min late = 9 points
30 min late = 8 points
1 hr late = 6 points
1 hr & 30 min late = 4 points

Unexcused Absence = 0
(Without any excuse letter or the excused letter not presented nor
submitted to the teacher before the end of the quarter.)
 SCORING GUIDELINES
Attendance/Class Participation/Class Engagement

Excused Absence (Category 1) = 10 points

-Endorsed by the school: before or on the date of absence, a signed letter
from the Principal is furnished to the teacher. (Example: representing the
school in any inter-school events, contests, seminars, or academic-related
activities)

Excused Absence (Category 2) = 5 points only

-Endorsed by the school but the excuse letter is shown or submitted to the
teacher after the date of absence.
 SCORING GUIDELINES
Attendance/Class Participation/Class Engagement
Excused Absence (Category 3) = 10 points
-Medical reason, showing to the teacher the original copy of medical certificate from any
Physician or Hospital, or showing of the excuse slip directly issued by the Silliman
University Clinic. Per University Clinic policy, issuance of excuse slip will be given on
the day of absence only and all Medical Certificates must be verified by the University
Physician.

Excused Absence (Category 4) = 5 points only

-Medical reason but without any medical certificate (or with medical certificate but not
verified by the University Physician) or without excuse slip from the Silliman University
Clinic. The excuse letter submitted or shown to the teacher is just a written statement of
the medical reasons on a piece of paper, signed by the parent or guardian and noted by
the guidance counselor.
 SCORING GUIDELINES
Attendance/Class Participation/Class Engagement
Excused Absence (Category 5) = 5 points only
-Reasons that are not medical, academic, or school related. (Examples:
embassy interview, going abroad or somewhere, commercial endorsement
of products or services, attending political, social, or religious meetings or
gatherings. (Any or all of these activities must approved by the SHS
Principal and the letter of approval should be shown to the teacher before
the date or dates of absences).
 SUBMISSION OF EXCUSE LETTERS

The entirety of the original copies of excuse letters, excuse slips,

medical certificates, letter of approval from the SHS Principal,
and any related printed materials must be shown to the teacher.

On the other hand, the teacher has the right to ask for
photocopies or photographs of these materials for
documentation purposes only and all original copies will be
returned to the student for safe keeping.

The student has to keep all original documents for the whole
duration of the quarter so that claims for scores can be
supported by the original documents.
 UNEXCUSED ABSENCE

Excuse letters that are submitted or shown to the teacher after

or at the end of the quarter shall not be considered.

Using the Physics 1 class period to take make-up exams in other

subjects is not allowed. These make-up activities should not be
done during the Physics 1 class period. Absence for this reason
is not excused. If Physics 1 is in conflict of schedule with your
make-up exam; then, kindly inform your other teacher that
Physics 1 policy does not allow this, as per policy given to you
on the first day of class.

Not excused: celebrating or attending social gatherings such as

someone's birthday, someone's fiesta, someone's wedding, etc.
 UNEXCUSED ABSENCE

Not excused: forget to sign the attendance sheet may be

considered as an absence. Note: Students are required to sign
the attendance sheet 5 minutes after the start of the class period
and 5 minutes before the end of the class period.

Sleeping the whole day due to unnecessary “nocturnal” activities

and as a result missing the Physics 1 class - is inexcusable.
 SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS / REQUIRED WRITTEN
OUTPUTS, REPORTS, OR PROJECTS
(NON-ONLINE SUBMISSION)
Deductions of points will be imposed for late submission of assignments or
required written outputs / reports or projects, EXCEPT, Quarterly Exam:
15 min late = -1 point deduction
30 min late = -2 points deductions
1 hr late = -4 points deductions
1 hr & 30 min late = -6 points deductions
2 hrs or more = -8 points deductions

Excused Absence = highest make-up score is half of the Highest Possible Score
(Highest make-up score is just half of the HPS regardless of the category of the
the excused absence.)

NOTE: NO MAKE-UP WILL BE ALLOWED UNLESS A VALID EXCUSE LETTER

IS PROVIDED.

the student himself or herself for reflection and will be rechecked by the
teacher for instructional adjustments.

All SUMMATIVE TESTS are recorded and will be part of student’s grades.
Summative test papers (printed, written, or online) are to be checked by the
teacher.

All test papers (formative or summative) are to be returned to the students for
safe keeping. Claims for any adjustment of score entries are to be supported
with the original summative test papers.
NOTE:
ALL 1ST QUARTER SUMMATIVE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE SUBMITTED ON OR
BEFORE AUGUST 5 & 2ND QUARTER REQUIREMENTS MUST BE SUBMITTED
ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER 7.
 CONDUCT IN THE CLASSROOM

In the classroom, students are expected to demonstrate befitting manners.


All cellular phones have to be in silent mode and calls are to be answered outside the
classroom.


A noisy classroom is not conducive to learning and it is an obvious sign of student-learning
disengagement. In the event of unnecessary noise in the classroom, lectures and discussions
have to be paused and be continued only when such noise subsides. The buzzer, if
necessary, can be utilized to suppress unnecessary noise.


Foods and drinks are not allowed in the classroom. Eating snacks should be done outside the
classroom. For personal reasons, students are free (permission from teacher is not required)
to go out from the classroom for a few minutes anytime while class is going on.


Seating-in and non-enrolled auditors are not allowed in the classroom.
