Based on the two journal articles you read, design an educational activities for learners.
Form a group of five to accomplish the educational activities. The activities can be for helping
young children learn reading, math or enhance their critical thinking. The activity should include
what areas they will be developed, how it will be developed, the process of assessment and the
specific areas to which the two articles were integrated. Use the format below.

Description of the activities

1. Need statement: Include a well - documented, compelling description of the problem or
need/s that the proposed activities to address.
2. Cognitive development theory and intelligence theory bases: Discuss what areas of the
theories you made use of and why is there a need to highlight that.
3. Activities Development: Develop activities for young learners focusing on the areas you
learned.

How do you think one’s personal background affects one’s view of intelligence?
.
Do you think Filipinos should have their own definition of intelligence? Why or why not?

How would the information presented above affect the way you view the educational system?

How do intelligence function in relation to understanding one’s learning experiences?

What teaching strategies will you use in facilitating cognitive development among students?

Parent-Child Interactions
Directions: In this activity you will be analyzing the scripts you gathered to the first and second
language use of the parents/guardians/caregivers.
1. Compose a group of five (This includes you.)
2. Chose a parent/caregiver-child team where the child is between 1-5 old (12-60 months).
3. Get the appropriate consent from the child’s parent to record the everyday conversations
between the parent and/or caregiver and the child.
4. Explain the purpose of the observation and recording to the parent.
5. Observe and record the conversations between parent and child for 15 minutes per day for
five days.
6. Transcribe the recordings.
7. Analyze the recordings about the scripts used. Answer the following questions:
a. What are the usual topics discussed by the parent/caregiver and the child?
b. What script does the parent tell the child when it comes to teaching the child about the
environment/values/other people?
c. How does the child respond?

Analyzing Scripts of Parent-Child Conversations

1. Examine the transcripts of the recording you got.
2. Check the areas where the parent talked to the child in two languages.
3. Identify the child’s first and second language.
4. Note how the parent addresses the child.
5. Determine the similarities and differences between how the first and second language are
used.
6. Create a table using the processes the parent/caregiver – child dyad use the two languages.
Use the table below.

 Survey of Local Literature Promoting Emergent Literacy
This activity requires you to survey the available children’s literature in region.
The children’s books maybe in English, Filipino or Sinugbuanong Binisaya. The goal of
this activity is to localize the books.
1. Form group of 5.
2. Look for at least five children’s books that reflect the culture of the place you live in or
the province you are from.
3. Complete the table below.
Book Title Author Storyline(What is Main characters and
the story about) their characteristics

4. Answer the following questions:

a. What are the common themes across the books?
______________________________________________________________________
b. What are the salient characteristics of the characteristics of the main characters?
______________________________________________________________________
c. What values are being promoted by the book?
______________________________________________________________________
d. How do you think would the book contribute to emergent literacy?
