Notes to the Teacher
Help the learners understand the importance of filling out forms
by guiding them on what to do with the activities that follow.
What’s New
It is always a good idea to read the entire form before we start to fill it
out. Some forms require us to write our last name first. Others require the
first name. Most forms specify that we type or print the information needed.
Others require our own handwriting. Since you are now old enough to know
these, you must be able to learn how to fill out the form yourself.
The Biodata
5
Answer the following questions:
Name Weight
Sex Religion
Citizenship Occupation
Height Signature
What is It
Are you ready to learn? Let us discuss the parts of a bio-data in detail.
Some reminders on how to fill-out each item are given. Let’s see how well you
understand and follow directions.
Personal Data
♦ Name- the most important information in any form and refers to your
complete name including your first name, middle name, and family name.
For example, Gani Callos de Jesus.
If you do not have a provincial address, you can write n/a which stands
for “not applicable.”
6
♦ Date of birth- refers to the date when you were born. Make sure you
include the month, day, and year of your birth. For example, October 5, 2008.
♦ Father’s name- refers to the complete name of your father. For example,
Ernesto Martinez de Jesus. Make sure you indicate your father’s first name,
middle name, and family name. You may choose not to write his middle name
in full. In this case, you may simply indicate his middle initial. If your father
is already dead, write “deceased” after his name.
♦ Mother’s name- refers to the complete name of your mother. For example,
Nena Reyes Callos. Make sure you indicate your mother’s first name, middle
name, and family name. You may decide not to write her middle name in full.
In this case, you may simply write her middle initial. If your mother is already
dead, write “deceased” after her name.
♦ Applicant’s signature- shows your signature to signify that you have been
truthful in your application.
7
The following are some guidelines for filling out forms accurately.
1. Make sure that the information you are giving is complete and accurate,
writing an incomplete address for example, may make it difficult for the
company you are applying to contact you by mail.
2. Check if you spelled the words and wrote the numbers correctly.
3. Write neatly and legibly. Do not use pencil. Use only blue or black ink in
filling-out forms. Or better yet, use a typewriter or a computer.
4. Submit forms on time. Find out when the deadlines are and comply with
them.
Keep these guidelines in mind. They will help you fill-out forms
accurately.
What’s More
Below is a blank form of a bio-data sheet. Fill it out with the necessary
information with the help of an adult in your family. Make sure that all data
are entered accurately. Refer to the scoring rubrics given to you.

Activity 2: Filling-out a Bank Deposit Slip and Withdrawal
Slip
In the previous activity, you practiced how to fill out a bio-data form
neatly, completely, and accurately. You also learned what forms are and
how important they are in your daily life. Aside from bio-data, there are
many other kinds of forms. These include bank deposit and withdrawal
slips.
Read the following and find out about the other kinds of forms we
usually fill out.
Pedro is the son of vendor who just turned 11 a week ago. His father
was considering teaching him how to fill-out a deposit slip from a bank so
he can help in depositing some of their earnings and learn the value of
saving. So, one day…
Pedro: Sure, Father. I am excited to help you out in filling the forms.
Someday, when I am old enough and have my means of living,
I will work hard and save for my future too. Just like you.
After a few days, Pedro learned how to fill-out deposit slips. His father
no longer needs to write on these forms. Pedro does this for
him.
Do you know what a deposit slip is for? A deposit slip is a written order
to your bank telling it to put funds into your savings account. You can use a
deposit slip to put money such as cash, checks, and money orders into your
account.
9
Deposit slips vary from bank to bank. Here is an example:
•Fill out the complete date of the day you deposit in the deposit to the
bank.
•Write the amount of cash you are depositing on the top line.
•Calculate the total deposit. Take the slip and the money you want to
deposit to a teller at your bank.
Withdrawal slips
Here is an example:

To fill-out a withdrawal slip, here is what you need to do:
•Fill out the complete date of the day you withdraw in the bank.
Identify the missing parts of the deposit slip and withdrawal slip below.

well did you do?

Activity 3: Filling-out a School ID Application Form
Do you have a school ID? Do you remember how the information sheet
for a school ID looks like?
What information are not included in the two previous forms we have
discussed before?
It’s the first day of school and I am so excited to meet my new classmates
and teachers.
In this school like any other schools, learners must wear IDs for their
safety and identification. This is a school requirement that learners have
known every year since the first day of class. Administrators and teachers also
always wear IDs around their necks .
“We have to wear IDs so we will be identified, and the teachers will know
whom to contact whenever it is needed. School IDs can also be used to avail
learner privileges when riding in a public transportation such as busses.”
The teacher started to hand over a piece of paper with spaces to write on.
Suddenly I remember my nanay filling-out forms when she enrolled me for the
school year. But I am not so sure if I remember all the information the form is
asking me write.
“Sure, all you have to do is to answer all the details that the form is asking
you, like your name, birthday, address, the name of your parents and their
contact numbers. Just make sure, that the form is filled-out neatly, and all
the texts are readable.”
“Thank you, Teacher Ann.” She sure is helpful. This school year is going
to be so much fun!

Let’s talk about what you have read.
1. What is the first task that the teacher asks them to do?
2. What is the distributed piece of paper with spaces to write on for?
3. What information are needed to complete the form?
4. Did the learner hesitate to ask her teacher for help?

application form? Why?
