Introductory Message

Welcome to TLE 9 - IA (Masonry NC II)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Kabankalan City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents, and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is a self-directed instructional material aimed

to guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using
the contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 9 - IA (Masonry NC II) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the
teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and the learner.
This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the
independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 9 - IA (Masonry NC II) Activity Sheet is developed to help you

continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you
with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities
and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

II. Background Information for Learners

Entrepreneurs with enough knowledge and background in the market and

environment where their businesses operate will have better strategies and
decisions and will find it easier to sustain business activities. The intended market of
a particular product and service must be carefully studied before and during the
actual operations of the business. Many entrepreneurs fail because of a very simple
reason. There is no enough information gathered about the target market.
Consequently, they incur so much losses leading to bankruptcy.

1. COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF A BUSINESS MARKET

Market refers to a group of people with economically important needs and

demands which open entrepreneurial or business opportunities to everyone.

Market is a socially, politically, and economically organized people whose

needs and demands are based on tradition, culture, and technology. Enumerable
business opportunities are open in a market. Their needs and demands are
enormous depending on the class of people being referred to. These classes of
people are known as market segments. These may be high-end, middle-end, and
low-end market segments. Each segment will have varying needs of various
products and services. Entrepreneurs must be skillful enough to address needs and
demands of the market. Many successful entrepreneurs’ secret of success is just
paying attention to the markets’ needs and demands and later they accumulate so
much wealth. A need or demand-based business will always have a share of market.

THE DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES IN THE COUNTRY TODAY

There are many established and emerging industries in the country. Having
mapped all of those in the community will give a would-be entrepreneur a chance to
examine what entrepreneurial opportunities may be brought to the community. Once
these opportunities are identified, entrepreneurs will lay down their plan of actions
and then start the business activities. Some or may be all of the industries listed
below are located in your locality that could be related to construction which are
competitors to the market.
