(M) ENDURING UNDERSTANDING:

Philippine Folk Literature plays a role in the formation of our culture. Knowledge of folk
literature is important in acquiring a deeper understanding of human behavior and
culture.

Folk literature is expressed in various forms in order to serve different purposes and
audiences interests.
ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How can the wise sayings and tales of the past help us live
today?

(T) TRANSFER GOAL: Students on their own will be able to communicate ideas effectively
with careful consideration of audience and purpose.
NOTES:
1. The Unit Map. This unit covers the topic on Philippine Folk Literature. The module map
shows that learners will go on a reading and learning adventure which features the wise sayings
and tales of the ancient past vis--vis informational texts written by modern writers. This
learning unit is different from other units because its scope is limited to literary selections
categorized under the oral tradition of Philippine literature. This topic does not tackle folk
literature from other countries.

2. The Content Standard and Enduring Understanding. As indicated by the content standard,
the goal for this unit topic is for students to understand that:

Philippine Folk Literature plays a role in the formation of our culture. Knowledge
of folk literature is important in acquiring a deeper understanding of human
behavior and culture.

Folk literature is expressed in various forms in order to serve different purposes


and audiences interests.

The learners must understand that Philippine Folk Literature refers to the traditional oral
literature of the Filipinos. This oral tradition has been preserved into the written format and has
been the source of the examples of folk literature covered in this module.
This aspect of the unit topic is important to understand because some common problems students
encounter is the lack of representative texts coming from the different regions. Moreover, certain
studies and researches (http://www.slideshare.net/MichelleCelestino/pre-colonial-literature1copy-10198357) also point out a misconception that Philippine Literary History began only with
the coming of the Spaniards in1521. This has been addressed though through the efforts of
writers and researchers such as Damiana Eugenio who has produced anthologies of Folk
Literature in its written format. Thus, it is important that learners be given an opportunity to read
these early forms of literature in order for them to gain a better appreciation of the culture of the
past and use these realizations to live their modern lives.
3. The Essential Question and Learning Competencies. In order for students to construct this
underlying meaning, students will answer the EQ (How can the wise sayings and tales of the
past help us live today?). With an open-ended EQ, students will search for the answer in
different ways and develop the understanding and acquire the related competencies.
4. The Performance Standard and the Transfer Goal. Another important goal as indicated by
the performance standard is for students to on their own will be able to communicate ideas
effectively with careful consideration of audience and purpose. If students are able to
demonstrate this, then students are able to transfer their learning to real life situations. Example
of situations in real life where students will apply the competencies and demonstrate the
understanding is being able to communicate powerfully with different kinds of people, young or
old, through the art of storytelling.

OVERALL
RATING
NOTES:
1. The Unit Assessment Map. The lesson assessment map provides an overview of all the
assessments done in the lesson. In general, students are assessed according to the four
components of the new grading system (Knowledge, Process or Skills, Understanding and
Transfer). In turn, these four areas reflect the three goals of assessing for understanding namely,
Acquisition, Meaning Making and Transfer or simply known as A-M-T.
2. The Pre and Post Assessment Matrix and Table of Specification. The assessment matrices
code items according to A-M-T. The distribution of these items in the table of specification
follows the distribution of percentages for the areas of the grading system. Hence, 40% of the
test items are coded A (since Knowledge is 15% and Process Skills is 25%), 30% of the items
are coded M, and another 30% for T. This coding is the backbone of the OHSP assessment
system. The OHSP system tracks students performance in A-M-T. Teachers can always retrieve
in real time the results of students test in these areas. Results are given in both tabulated and
graph forms.
The diagnostic or pre-test assessment matrix determines students prior knowledge on the
backgrounds, features, and sample translated texts of Philippine folk literature and other parallel
selections. These are seen in test items no 1-8. The pre-test also measures students
misconception on Philippine literature as seen in test item no. 10. Note though that the OHSP
system randomizes the sequence of the test items and the options in each item. To find out how
students individually scored in the tests, go to and click on in OHSP system Student List. Next,
select Student name. View students Performance Record. Then scroll down to desired topic and
click on date of completion. View students Test Score per item and the items code (A-M-T).
The post-test assessment matrix evaluates the changes in students misconceptions as seen in test
item no 10. Hence, when reviewing test scores, it is important to see how students particularly
score in these items as well as the other items related to understanding (test item nos. 12, 13, 9,
10, 17 and 15). Student performance in these items will indicate the kind of intervention that
needs to be done.
23

To access all students test scores in the Post Assessment as a group per subject area, do the
following:
1. Click Post Assessment (20 Questions)
2. Select subject area.
3. Select desired quarter and lesson and double click on it.
4. View the graphs and scores of all students.
The OHSP system also shows to the teacher the items where most of the students score well or
poor in. Teachers can also trace the corresponding activity in the lesson where the content of the
test item is discussed. Teachers can then check on student performance in those activities and
determine how their answer prepared them for the corresponding test item.
3. Interventions Based on Test Scores.
If students are not able to do well in A-coded items, teachers may consider doing the following
interventions:

Give more reading selections that fall under Philippine Folk Literature (legends,
myths, fables, epics, etc.).

Provide comprehension questions that will help students hone their reading skill
which is tested in items 1,2,3,4.

Ask students to go to this website, http://tagaloglang.com/PhilippineLiterature/Filipino-Folktales/, in order to read more samples of Philippine Folk
Literature.

If students are not able to do well in M-coded items, teachers may consider doing the following
interventions:

If students are not able to do well in T-coded items, teachers may consider doing the following
interventions:

Provide more interactive exercises on subject-verb agreement and pronounantecedent agreement


(http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/quizzes/agreement_quiz.htm) and
narrative tenses (http://www.vivquarry.com/wkshts/narrex1.html).

24

4. Verifying Student Test Scores.


Teachers may also verify student scores in A-coded items by asking students to do or answer the
following in a live chat or face-to-face setting:

Pose comprehension questions to students concerning a chosen legend, fable, epic or


folk tales.

Ask students to define the words found in this chosen reading text.

Teachers may also verify student scores in M-coded items by asking students to do the following
in a live chat or face-to-face setting:

Provide words from a chosen legend, fable, epic or folk tales and ask students to
articulate the words with the correct pronunciation.

Ask students to explain why they should study Philippine Folk Literature.

Prod students to explain the backgrounds, features, and sample translated texts of
Philippine folk literature.

Teachers may also verify student scores in T-coded items by asking students to do the following
in a live chat or face-to-face setting:

Give students a cloze test. Ask them to fill in the blanks with the correct form of the
verb (SVA) and pronoun (PAA).

Ask students to do an oral retelling of a short folk tale. Ask them how a tale should be
told orally.

5. Map of Conceptual Change. Another important indicator of student growth in thinking is the
units map of conceptual change. For this unit, the chosen map is KWL (Know, Wonder and
Learned). The students are asked to answer this map at different points in the lesson, namely:
Activity 1, Lesson 1 Transfer, Activity 17, Lesson 2 Transfer Activity 18, Lesson 3 Deepen
Activity 8. The students cognitive growth is qualitatively assessed by comparing the students
prior knowledge and new knowledge. In the units map for conceptual change, the students show
their prior knowledge by answering Know and Wonder in Activity 1. The students articulate
their new knowledge by filling up Learned during Lesson 1 Transfer Activity 17, Lesson 2
Transfer Activity 18, and Lesson 3 Deepen Activity 8. These parts indicate transitional processes
between prior and new knowledge development. Teachers are encouraged to every now and then
retrieve and monitor students answers in this map. Student answers in this map provide clear
data for teachers in terms of their cognitive development.

25

6. Formative Assessments. In order to assure student success in the summative assessments, the
listed formative assessments check on the following performances as indicators of student
mastery and readiness: (state type of formative assessment and things teachers need to check)
7. Students Answers to Recurring Essential Question. Another way of doing formative
assessment is to retrieve and examine how students answer the Essential Question. The units EQ
is: How can the wise sayings and tales of the past help us live today? The student is asked to
answer the EQ in these different parts, namely: Lesson 1 Explore (Activity 1), Lesson 1 Firm Up
(Activity 3), Lesson 1 End of Firm Up (Activity 13), Lesson 2 Explore (Activity 1), Lesson 2
Firm Up (Activity 3), Lesson 2 Deepen (Activity 11), Lesson 3 Explore (Activity 1), Lesson 3
Transfer, (Activity 12: A Lasting Impression). Teachers are encouraged to compare the students
final answers to the EQ with the desired EU. If the students answers are far or different from the
EU, the teacher may check on the way students are doing in the activities and determine the
appropriate intervention.
8. The Performance Task and Rubric. With regards to the performance task, this is designed
according to the transfer goal in Part 1. The standards in the performance task are reflected in the
first column of the rubric. These rubric criteria are also aligned with the performance standard.
The rubric criteria related to understanding is INSIGHTFUL. With this criterion, students are
evaluated on their understanding about the relevance of ancient tales to the modern life. The
rubric criteria related to the competencies or skills are CREATIVE and WELL-CRAFTED. With
these criteria, students are evaluated on their skill to use language creatively and proficiently.
Students achieve the performance standard when they or their work scores Satisfactory for each
criteria in the rubric. Students whose works exceed the Satisfactory criteria score Outstanding.
Note the additions in the descriptor which indicate extra work on the part of the students.
Students whose works have errors score either as Developing or Beginning. Note the parts of the
descriptors which indicate deficiencies.
The submission of the performance task (storybook) may be done online. However, the oral
retelling has to be done face to face.

NOTES:
1. The Unit Activities Map and Assessment-Activities Matrix. The unit activities map shows
the different activities done in the lesson. The activities are designed to address the different AM-T learning goals. Acquisition activities in particular are also matched according to the
required and added competencies. The A activities involve eliciting literary and language
concepts and topics. During M activities, students are prodded to make generalization about
these literary and language topics. In T activities, students are engaged in write shops or
workshops to prepare them for the meaningful and life-like performance/product tasks.
38

The Assessment-Activities Matrix also shows the activities which implement the established and
added competencies. This Matrix helps the teacher evaluate the readiness of a student to answer
a particular test item by looking at the students performance in a particular activity related to the
assessment. If the student does not do well in a set of test items, the teacher may go back to the
activity linked to the test item and see if the student was already having difficulty.
2. The Scaffold for Transfer. The T activities are also sequenced according to a certain
progression as indicated in the scaffold for transfer. The scaffold consists of four levels starting
with direct prompting and on to independent transfer. In the scaffold, students focus on honing
their productive skills, speaking and writing. Students develop mastery of this skill by first in
direct prompt, making of a poster for the literacy month. This activity is done in Lesson 1,
Transfer. Then in the open prompt, during Lesson 2 Transfer, students will make a brochure inset
which is a written retelling of an existing legend or myth. Next in the guided transfer done in
Lesson 3, Deepen, students will do an oral retelling of a folk tale or of an epic. Students are
again asked to do a task similar in the final level but this time in the independent level, students
are evaluated according to their ability to on their own a storybook or written retelling or a folk
tale or origin or their locality. They are also asked to do an oral retelling of the said tale.
