Intervention of Book Reviews for book reviews are essential to develop
Learners the literacy of students in reading
Filipino literature.

ANNOTATION

As a language teacher, I want to promote a holistic learning not

only teaching students to read or write but also to aspire them in
understanding and analyzing different types of reading materials like
novels in Filipino literature. In my off-campus days, I’ve decided to
assign my students to make a portfolio that can be a compilation of
written outputs for the whole term. One of the activities in their portfolio
is a book review that will give students an opportunity to comprehend
one’s classic novel in Filipino literature. I believe that this activity will
be a great help for the students to develop their critical thinking skills in
which a book is analyzed based on content, style, and merit. As a
facilitator of knowledge, I made a format to be complied by my students
and also assign a strict deadline for this activity to be submitted.

of the term.

ANNOTATION

As a Filipino teacher, I want to uplift the consciousness of my

students about our lesson in teaching Noli Me Tangere and also the
integration of its quintessence in the society. In journal writing, my
students are required to tell/write something about what they had
realized or learned in every chapters that have been discussed in our
session. This journal will serve as a tool for assessing the learner’s higher
order thinking skills and also with their literacy. It can be a platform for
the students to express their feelings, reactions, analysis, and
implications about important events, famous quotation, and also the
symbolism that are hidden in the novel which is discussed in different
chapters. Journal making can be an efficient strategy or we can say
activity that can help the teachers to track down the knowledge or
information brought or learned by the students about specific topic.

KAYUMANGGI: A MODULAR the learner’s development and knowledge
INSTRUMENT IN TEACHING in teaching a classic Filipino novel (Noli
NOLI ME TANGERE Me Tangere). It contains the summarized
version of every chapter and also provides
(Grade 9) different activities for the students to
enhance their skills with the great help of
the facilitator of learning.

ANNOTATION

In the 21st century learning, many students have no interest in reading long
literary text like novels, lit folios, chic lit, etc., so as a Filipino teacher I should be
the one to teach students to read or to divert their attention in understanding and
analyzing one’s novel or literary form. I used this module (Kayumanggi: Noli Me
Tangere) because I believe that it may provide and direct my students to read,
comprehend, and apply their learnings in the real life situations. I want to hook
their interest in reading because it can be the key for learning. I know that this
novel was very long, so in our department we used this module as a springboard
and also a workbook for the students. It was divided into different dimension
which can be a guide for teaching various chapter in every session. It has “tuklasin,
linangin, pagnilayan at unawain, and ilapat, that can help teachers to get the gist
of the lesson and also to achieve different objectives that are needed to develop
the learner’s abilitiy. But, there are times that it only used by teachers as a reading
materials in teaching Filipino literature. At the end of the term, students should
submit it with answers in every activity that will serve as a project in my course.

ANNOTATION

Being a flexible teacher, you must be open in different learning

situation like making an instrument that can enhance your skills in curriculum
planning, designing, and development. I’ve experienced making a whole
curriculum structure from designing a curriculum guide for special Filipino and
also a module that can be used in teaching practices. Module writing can be an
edge for me to explore and develop my skills in the field of teaching. I want to
forge my other knowledge to enhance and produce modern techniques,
strategies, approaches that are needed in my course. In designing a curriculum
for special filipinoS, you must simplify the levels of your thinking based on the
native speakers and non-native speakers (foreign) from the language that you
will teach. Modules should be parallel in your Curriculum guide to make sure
that your students will acquire and achieve various objectives. In this project,
I’ve boost my moral and passion in teaching Filipino not only a subject but also
a culture of knowledge.
