Aimee M. Catapangan Purok Sto. Rosario, Brgy. 4 Lucena City, 4301 09109787773 January 14, 2015 Ms. Adelina Taranco Principal Talipan National High School Lucena City Dear Ms. Taranco I wish for your acceptance this my application as applying for a Filipino teacher position. I have an Education degree from Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation and I been trained as a teacher of Christian School in Dalahican, Lucena. Every teacher has a goal of motivating students to do their best and extend their own personal limits. I devise programs, according to syllabus requirements, that expand on previous knowledge and encourage students to explore new and interesting possibilities. I encourage students to construct their own learning in an environment that stimulates and helps students to realize their full potential. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I am looking forward to the opportunity of meeting with you and discussing how I can contribute to your school community and objectives. Respectfully Yours, Aimee M. Catapangan Objectives: 1. Students will be able to draw inferences about meaning and tone by analyzing word choice. 2. Students will be able to analyze poetry to identify tone and meaning and articulate how word choice contributes to both. 3. Students will be able to test and either confirm or modify predictions in light of further information. Materials: Copies of “The Invitation” by Oriah Mountain Dreamer, “If” by Rudyard Kipling, and “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes, collections of 8-12 key words and phrases from each poem. Note: other sets of poems may be substituted. Activities: 1. Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a collection of words and phrases from one of the three poems. Multiple groups will be assigned the same poem, but they do not need to have the same set of key words and phrases. 2. In groups, without yet having read the poems, students review the words and phrases. They note observations about the selection of words and make predictions about their poem. In particular , students predict what tone they expect the poem to convey and the subject and meaning of the poem. Each group much post at three predictions. 3. Teacher gives a full copy of each poem to one student and asks those three students to quietly read the poem in anticipation of reading it aloud. While they do so, teacher leads a discussion with the remainder of students, probing students’ thinking and asking students to explain any interesting differences among the predictions of groups assigned the same poem. 4. All students receive a copy of all three poems, and the three readers read the poems aloud. 5. Groups analyze and discuss the meaning and tone of their assigned poem, modifying of confirming their earlier expectations into analytical statements about the poem and noting how word choice contributes to meaning and tone. Teacher circulates to advise and scaffold. Students revise earlier written predictions as needed. 6. Teacher again leads a discussion, asking students to explain their thinking and noting interesting differences among groups’ analytical statements. 7. Groups studying the same poem come together to write one to three consensus analytical statements about how the author’s word choice contributes to meaning and tone. Writing assignment: Students select one of the analytical statements generated by the class and write a short essay supporting it with specific references to the text. Assessment: Participation in small and large group discussions can be assessed. Writing assignment is assessed based on a rubric focusing on the effective use of textual evidence to support conclusions about word choice, meaning, and tone. AIMEE M. CATAPANGAN ADDRESS: Purok Sto.

Aimee M. Catapangan Applicant Signature One of the most important concepts I hope to impart to students is that learning is a process that never ends. For me, the learning process includes improving myself professionally. I want to read more about formal learning theories to expand my understanding of how learning takes place. As I continue to instruct classes, I also aim to enhance my ease and confidence of classrooms and audiences. Finally, I plan to experiment with different methods and means of presenting information to classes in order to improve the learning atmosphere I create for students. Aimee M. Catapangan
