PREFACE
In April 2008 the 57-75 Movement organized a workbooks development write-shop in order to come up
with an immediate and effective response to the problem of lacking textbooks and instructional materials in public
schools. For two weeks, master teachers from each of the 57-75 pilot sites compiled a series of workbooks on
Science, English, and Mathematics designed for their elementary and high school students.
The write-shop aimed to: (1) identify least mastered skills in a subject area; (2) produce lesson guides that
will help increase the ability of classroom instructors in developing the mastery level of students particularly in
problematic subject areas; and (3) help teachers be creative in developing their own instructional materials based
on resources available to them in their respective schools.
Both the faculty and students of the public school system are expected to gain from this project. Teachers
will not only be aided by the problem-solving and explanations given in the workbooks but will also be helped in
terms of gearing their students towards a unified understanding of the subject matter. This workbook will also
serve as an alternative medium of instruction in the absence of textbooks and other necessary teaching materials
that the le ss fortunate may not be able to afford.
The workbooks development write-shop is also 57-75’s contribution to enhancing the reading
proficiencies in its pilot sites.
57-75, a private sector-led movement created to help address the many problems of Philippine education,
was inspired by one of the many disturbing indicators of the state of Philippine education – the results of the
National Achievement Test, in which grade school pupils scored close to 57.
The reversal of numbers in the campaign name – from 57 to 75 – symbolizes what the movement is trying
to do: turn things around, about radically rethinking the way we look at our education system and the way we
support it. We believe that this kind of rethinking will help turn around the dismal trends in Philippine education,
and eventually change statistics from 57 to 75.
57-75 advocates Focusing on helping students stay in school, enhancing reading proficiencies, and
improving achievement rates in math, science, and English; student and school Performance; and Community
Empowerment and Engagement.
57-75 wishes to acknowledge the Ateneo Center for Educational Development for supervising the
workshop. Much gratitude is also given to the League of Corporate Foundations’ Committee on Education which
funded the workshop through a grant provided by TeaM Energy Foundation, as well as to Jollibee Foundation for
additional logistical support.
57-75 would also like to especially acknowledge the master teachers from the pilot sites – without their
commitment, this workbook would not have been possible. We also extend our appreciation to the reviewers,
editors and encoders of ACED who accommodated this project into their existing workload.
57-75 is also very grateful to the initial pool of corporate donors who have pledged to help in the
reproduction of this workbook: TeaM Energy Foundation, Petron Foundation, Pilmico Corporation, BPI
Foundation, Metrobank Foundation and Insular Life Foundation. Thank you for helping to reverse the education
crisis!

rhymes/poems. (Competency - Writing 1.3)
Exercise B
Directions: Copy the following rhymes/poems in manuscript form.
I am green and sour when raw,

EVEN THE SOIL MOVE
Soil is carried away
To places far and near
By the raindrops dripping,
By the waters flowing.
But remember that deep inside me
Is a seed white and tiny,
Which when you plant and take care of
Will become another mango tree.
Strong winds move the soil
Where trees around are few;
I’ve seen sails whirl around
When the whistling wind blew.
I WISH
Oh! Look at the stars
Twinkling in the sky,
I’d get the brightest one
If only I could fly.
TWO BALLOONS
I like balloons
That are blue
Here’s one for me
And one for you
I wish I had two wings
To play with Little Bear;
Or to ride happily
On the Little Dipper
I like balloons
That are red
I have two
I share one with you.
How I wish I could zoom
Like a fast shooting star;
How I wish I’d be near
The winking Mama Bear.
GOD MADE THEM SO
LET’S TRAVEL
I wonder why the moon is bright
I wonder where it gets it light,
I wonder why it shines at night
And where it goes when out of sight.
We travel near and far
By ship, by plane, by car;
By land, by plane, by air
And see rare beauties there.
I don’t know how the flowers grow
I don’t know where the rivers flow,
There are lots of things I don’t know
I guess our Lord just made them so.
We plan to see the moon
By rocket very soon,
We hope to see what lies
Beyond the starry skies.
Let’s travel far and near
And go beyond this sphere;
Our books will take us there
The students’ magic chair.
FROM A SEED TO A TREE
I am a mango tree,
I bear mango fruit yearly,

TREES
I LOVE LITTLE PUSSY
I think that I shall never see,
A poem as lovely as a tree;
A tree whose hungry mouth is
pressed, Against the earth’s sweet
flowing breast.
I love little Pussy
Her coat is so warm
And if I don’t hurt her
She’ll do me no harm.
So I’ll not pull her tail
Nor drive her away.
But Pussy and I
Very gently will play.
A tree that looks at God all day,
and lifts its leafy arms to pray.
A tree that may in summer wear,
A nest of robins in her hair.
A tree upon whose bosoms snow has
lain,
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
She shall sit by my side
And I’ll give her some food
And Pussy will love me
Because I’m good.
THANK YOU, LORD
THAT’S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR
Thank you, Lord, for home so sweet
And for the food that I eat,
I thank you for the birds that sing
For the sun and the rain and
everything.
Do help me do the things I should
And show me the way to be kind and
good,
Please teach me what to do and say
To please you, Lord, each day.
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always
Count on me for sure,
That’s what friends are for.
For good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for.
TO BE HEALTHY AND HAPPY
One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Then I let him go again.
1-2-3-4-5
We need enough good food
To make our bodies grow
We need a lot of sunshine
To make our cheeks aglow.
Why did you let him go?
Because he bit my finger so
Which finger did he bite?
The little finger on the right
To keep us well and strong
We need to work and play
To make our lives like a song
We need to be active and gay.
