PERFORMANCE TASK

At this point, we are quite aware that our country is susceptible to different disaster such as
earthquakes, Volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Therefore, it is a must for us to prepare and ensure our
safety and survival when these disaster strike.

For this activity, your goal is to help your family prepare for an impending emergency. Your task
is to prepare an emergency kit for the whole family. Decide what items should be in your emergency kit
and present it by taking picture on how it is being used.
(Use ¼ illustration board)

The scoring rubric below will be used in assessing your kit.
