II. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:

A. Give one popular children’s play/musical play/drama. Explain/narrate briefly and give
its relevance for you as well as for your pupils/students, not only in the classroom but in
everyday life. (25 pts).

The Little Princess I think the little prince/princess is most popular musical/play to
children. We all know that children are full of imaginations. And the little princess is a
young girl's resilience and the power of her imagination change the world.

The Little Princess teaches about perseverance, imagination, friendship, courage,

resilience, generosity, and lots more. The story ideally provides many opportunities to
reflect upon the life of Sara and to know the essential things of our daily lives.

B. Write a short story of 5 sentences minimum using the different musical symbols,
signs, letters and so fa syllables. Be guided by the lesson on Act#5. (20 pts)

and other things needed for the game. (10 pts)

Buwan-Buwan

Mechanics:

A rough circle is drawn on the ground and one person from the group is tagged. He is
not allowed to enter the circle, but instead has to touch one of the people inside the
circle without having entered it. If he succeeds, he can enter the circle, and the person
touched becomes the next one tagged.

Materials: Chalk or Charcoal

Setting: Must be in street or road but make sure that it’s safe
Participants: can be children or adults

D.
1. For schools still using modular instruction, what recommendations / solutions can
you give to deliver instruction on the part of the following(20 pts)
a. parents- parents should give time to children to know their child’s weakness and
strength when it comes to the lesson and give more focus on the things that the child’s
need improvements.

b. teachers - teachers should conduct 1 meeting per week to evaluate the child’s
literacy like their reading and writings skills. We all know that not all answer to the
student’s modules comes from their own so at least the teacher will not be blind if the
child is already literate or not.

c. administrators - should determine and address all programmatic requirements

and expectations prior to online course development.

d. other stakeholders - must build strong partnership that stakeholders (teachers,

students, parents, and organizations) learn from each other and engage through
practices in relation to the school programs.

2. Since we are already in the post pandemic stage, do you think that online learning is
still relevant? Why? Why not?

Yes, I think the online education is still relevant because it enables the teacher and the
student to set their own learning pace, and there’s the added flexibility of setting a
schedule that fits everyone’s agenda. As a result, using an online educational platform
allows for a better balance of work and studies, so there’s no need to give anything up.
Studying online teaches you vital time management skills, which makes finding a good
work-study balance easier. Having a common agenda between the student and teacher
can also prompt both parties to accept new responsibilities and have more autonomy.

I believe that it is not the education setting that affects the student’s learning; it is how
they handle their time in managing their lessons to engage effective learning.
