What I Can Do
Task 1. As a grade 11 Filipino learner, in what way you can show a sense of
adaptability to the diverse Philippines Literary History? State your answer in a 3 -5
paragraph essay.
- Our country, the Philippines, has a rich cultural heritage. Our country's
treasures range from the richness of our heritage to the richness of our people
to the richness of our literature, among many other things. It's just too bad that
as technology advances, our cultural treasures fade into the background. One of
my life goals as a grade 11 Filipino learner will be to promote the importance
of Philippine literature. However, I must plan and act on how I will effectively
communicate to my fellow young people that we must continue and never
forget the famous literary works that our forefathers have left us. This is how I
intend to preserve and demonstrate my ability to adapt to Philippine literary
history: Investigate and read the various literary works. I’ll promote and inform
my friends about the literary works I read. As a millennial, I'll share it on social
media in the hopes that it goes viral. For the time being, those are just a few of
the ideas I have for expressing my appreciation and adaptability to Philippine
literary works. I firmly believe that the Philippines has a wealth of literary
works to share with the rest of the world. I'm excited about this goal I've set for
myself.
