Daguio was a poet, novelist and teacher during the pre-war. He was best known for his fictions and poems. He had published two volumes of poetry, “Bataan Harvest” and the “The Flaming Lyre”. he served as chief editor for the Philippine House of Representatives before he died in 1966. Amador Daguio was born on January 8, 1912 in Laoag, Ilocos Norte. His family moved to Lubuagan, Mountain Province, where his father was an officer in the Philippine Constabulary. Now, you are going to read the summary of the Philippine short story ‘The Wedding Dance’ written by Amador Daguio. I assume that you already have knowledge about this because this is the one that we arranged in proper order. POEM READING THE WEDDING DANCE by Amador T. Daguio On his wedding night to a new bride, Awiyao decides to momentarily leave the celebrations to go to his house and visit his previous wife, Lumnay. The two have been together for seven years but their union has not produced an offspring. Thus Awiyao's decision to part ways with Lumnay and take another wife, a younger woman named Madulimay. Awiyao still loves Lumnay and Lumnay still loves Awiyao. But in order for Awiyao to prove himself a man in the eyes of his community, he must have an offspring. Someone to carry his name forward, the way he carried his father's name. Awiyao repeatedly asks Lumnay to leave the house and join the wedding dance outside. He tells her that if she joins the dance, one of the men will take notice of her and might even ask to marry her. If she's luckier with the man, she might even bear a child with him. But Lumnay tells him that she doens't wan't anyone else. She only wants him. Awiyao offers Lumnay the house but the latter refuses it, telling him that she needs to go to her parents as they are already old and they need assistance in planting beans and pounding rice. Awiyao then offers a field but Lumnay refuses the offer just the same. Lumnay only requests that she keeps her beads as these remind her of the love that Awiyao has for her. The beads are worth twenty fields. Awiyao gave the beads to her and left to rejoin the festivities. Suddenly awash with the courage to fight for her feelings, Lumnay decides to go to the wedding and confront the crowd. To tell the village chief that it is not right to take away Awiyao from her just because she can't bear him a child. However, as she nears the clearing where the wedding dance is being held, the bright lights spook her. She decides to just get away from there. She backs away and follows a trail leading away from the village and up a mountain. From a clearing at the top, Lumnay can see the bright lights of the wedding dance. The story ends with Lumnay lost among the bean pods at the clearing. Class, if you were to be asked, should a tradition still be followed even though it will break you and your family or friends’ relationship like what happened in the story? The four kinds of sentences Declarative sentence states a fact or opinion and it ends with a period. An interrogative sentence asks a question and ends with a question mark. An imperative sentence expresses a request or gives a command or direction. It also ends with a period or exclamation mark. An exclamatory sentence conveys emotion and ends with an exclamation mark.

Processing Questions: In preparing the lesson plan, which part is the most difficult to prepare? Crafting engaging activities that suit diverse learning styles is often the most challenging aspect of preparing a lesson plan. Designing activities that align with objectives, encourage participation, and cater to various learning preferences requires careful thought. Striking a balance between theory and application, adapting for different skill levels, and maintaining flexibility to address unexpected challenges add complexity. Achieving a harmonious blend between content delivery and student engagement demands a thorough understanding of the subject matter and the students' needs. In essence, the intricate process of creating a well-rounded lesson plan involves weaving together pedagogy, adaptability, and a touch of inspiration. Which do you think is the most important part of the lesson plan? Why? The perceived importance of different parts of a lesson plan can vary based on individual teaching philosophies and priorities. Some educators may prioritize clear learning objectives to guide the lesson, believing they provide a roadmap for instruction. Others may emphasize engaging activities, considering them crucial for student participation and comprehension. The choice might also hinge on the subject matter, with content delivery being prioritized for complex topics. Ultimately, the perceived importance is subjective and depends on the teacher's instructional approach, the nature of the material, and the needs of the students.

Use os Visual Aids Medium High 10. Active Learning High Activity 4.1 Explain the guiding principles in selecting and using appropriate teaching strategies. Learning is an active process. The guiding principle that "learning is an active process" highlights the transformative role of engagement in education. In practical terms, this principle urges educators to select teaching strategies that go beyond passive reception of information. Instead, emphasis is placed on methods that prompt students to actively participate in their learning. Classroom discussions, group activities, hands-on experiments, and problem-solving exercises are effective approaches aligned with this principle. Active learning fosters a dynamic exchange between students and the material, facilitating a deeper understanding. It encourages critical thinking, creativity, and the application of knowledge in real-world scenarios. By incorporating interactive elements, educators create an environment where students can construct their understanding actively. This not only enhances comprehension but also reinforces long-term retention. Moreover, the principle underscores that learning is not a one-size-fits-all process. Recognizing diverse learning styles, educators can tailor active strategies to cater to various preferences and strengths among students. Ultimately, embracing the idea that learning is an active process transforms education into a collaborative and engaging journey, empowering students to become proactive participants in their own intellectual development. The more senses that are involved in learning, the more and the better learning. Engaging multiple senses in the learning process enhances comprehension and retention. When learners utilize various senses, such as sight, hearing, touch, and even movement, it creates a multisensory experience that strengthens neural connections. For instance, visual aids like diagrams or videos can appeal to the sense of sight, while auditory elements, such as lectures or discussions, engage hearing. Combining these sensory inputs helps form a more robust cognitive framework. West Visayas State University JANIUAY CAMPUS (Formerly Janiuay Polytechnic College, Don Tiburcio A. Lutero National Comp. High School,Janiuay Nat’l Comp. High School, Janiuay National Vocational High School, Janiuay High School) Janiuay, Iloilo, Philippines *Trunkline: (063) (033) 330-3485 * Website: www.wvsu.edu.ph *Email Address: janiuay@wvsu.edu.ph Tactile or hands-on activities further deepen understanding by incorporating touch and kinesthetic senses. This approach is particularly effective in skill acquisition, as it promotes muscle memory and procedural knowledge. The brain tends to process information more thoroughly when different senses are involved, reinforcing the learning experience. Moreover, multisensory learning accommodates diverse learning styles, allowing individuals to leverage their strengths. For example, a visual learner may benefit from charts, while an auditory learner may excel in discussions. Overall, embracing a multisensory approach caters to the varied ways in which individuals absorb and process information, fostering a richer and more comprehensive learning environment. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning. Emotions play a significant role in learning. Emotions are inherently linked to and influence cognitive skills such as attention, memory, executive function, decision-making, critical thinking, problem-solving, and regulation, all of which play a key role in learning. Positive learning emotions include interest, curiosity, wonder, passion, creativity, engagement, and joy. These activate the reward system of the brain, make the experience desirable, and aid in focus and attention. Positive emotional states can enable students to broaden their perspective, see alternatives, persist through challenges, and respond effectively to criticism and failure. On the other hand, negative emotions such as anxiety, stress, and fear can interfere with learning and memory consolidation. For instance, anxiety can lead to a decrease in working memory capacity, which can impair learning. Therefore, it is essential to manage negative emotions to ensure effective learning. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to student’s everyday life. Connecting learning to students' everyday lives enhances its meaningfulness and relevance. When educational content aligns with their experiences and interests, it becomes more relatable, fostering a deeper understanding and engagement. This connection provides a context for new information, making it easier for students to grasp and apply in real-life situations. Integrating everyday examples and scenarios into lessons not only makes the material more relatable but also highlights its practical utility. Students are more likely to appreciate the value of what they are learning when they can see its direct application to their lives. This connection helps bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and its real-world implications. Linking learning to everyday life promotes intrinsic motivation. Students are more inclined to invest time and effort into subjects that they perceive as relevant to their present and future experiences. This motivation contributes to a positive learning environment, fostering a genuine curiosity and desire to explore the subject matter. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information. Good teaching extends beyond mere information recall. While memorization is one aspect of learning, effective teaching involves fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of concepts. Rather than simply transmitting facts, it encourages students to analyze, evaluate, and apply information in various contexts. A key element of quality teaching is the ability to inspire curiosity and a passion for learning. Encouraging students to ask questions, explore topics independently, and engage in active inquiry contributes to a more profound and lasting understanding. The goal is to cultivate a sense of intellectual curiosity that goes beyond the boundaries of the classroom. good teaching involves adapting to diverse learning styles and individual needs. Recognizing that each student learns differently, a skilled educator employs various instructional methods and assessments to cater to a range of abilities and preferences. West Visayas State University JANIUAY CAMPUS (Formerly Janiuay Polytechnic College, Don Tiburcio A. Lutero National Comp. High School,Janiuay Nat’l Comp.

According to a study, an integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of information. The study also suggests that good teaching goes beyond recall of information and learning is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday life. Processing Questions Based on your observations, what is the common level of participation of the students to the teaching strategies used by the teacher? Student teachers do participate in learning activities. In fact, interactive classroom activities are a great way to engage students and help them connect with the lesson on a deeper level. Some examples of interactive classroom activities include brainstorming, group discussions, role-playing, and games Which among the guiding principles of selecting and using teaching strategies is most important? Why? Guiding principles in the selection and use of appropriate teaching strategies include creating a positive classroom atmosphere, believing in students’ capacity, making students feel they belong to a community of learners with shared goals or purpose, encouraging more collaboration and cooperation and less competition, and giving allowance for mistakes Why do teachers need to use various teaching strategies? Using different teaching strategies is important because it helps students to better understand and retain information, to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and to become more engaged in the learning process. Strategies promote flexible thinking and teach students the importance of shifting their approaches to different tasks. They also encourage independent learning. By providing a variety of different instructional strategies and materials, teachers can boost student engagement and achievement in the classroom.

They do not replace the teacher. Instructional materials serve as aids to instruction by providing additional resources and tools to support the teaching process. However, they don't replace the teacher's role in guiding, facilitating discussions, and adapting the learning experience to meet students' needs. The teacher remains crucial in providing context, clarifying concepts, and fostering a dynamic and interactive learning environment that goes beyond what instructional materials alone can achieve. Choose the instructional materials that best suit your instructional objectives. Learning objectives: This will help you choose materials that are aligned with your goals. Consider the content: The instructional material should be relevant to the subject matter and appropriate for the age and skill level of the learners. Check for accuracy: Ensure that the instructional material is accurate and up-to-date. You can check for accuracy by consulting reputable sources or experts in the field. Assess the quality: The instructional material should be of high quality and engaging. You can assess the quality by looking at reviews or ratings from other educators. Evaluate the format: The instructional material should be presented in a format that is easy to understand and use. Consider the layout, design, and organization of the material. Consider the cost: Finally, consider the cost of the instructional material. While high-quality materials may be more expensive, they can be worth the investment in the long run. If possible, use a variety of tools. It's possible and often beneficial to use a variety of instructional tools and resources.
