Learning Activity 2
Choose a particular topic taught in either English or Filipino (elementary level). It could be about
grammar, language structure, or literature. After doing so, craft at least three (3) activity sheets following
the practical guidelines you learned in the seminar workshop you have attended. Later on, we’ll combine
it as one locally-produced literacy material.
The locally-produced activities will be graded using the following criteria:

Alignment to standards and practical guidelines 40%

learned
Engagement and ability to meet student needs 20%
Originality 20%
Accuracy in language used 10%
Visual appeal 10%
TOTAL 100%
