TEACHER HANDOUT

PERFORMANCE TASK

Engaging Scenario

A forum on disaster risk management is attended by the members of the cabinet, experts
from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Center (NDRRMC) and the Philippine
Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) to talk about natural calamities like volcanic
eruptions and how to reduce damages it brings to the community. You, as part of the forum have
to create an education drive and suggest ways by which you can contribute to reduce damage due
to this natural calamity. Your role-play will be assessed based on the following rubric:
