THINK, SPEAK, LISTEN
In response to the challenges and demands of the K to 12 Curriculum, the authors have opted to create more engaging lessons that deepen the 21st Century learners’ understanding of essential ideas, and strengthen their skills and competencies based on the content and performances standards indicated in the Basic Education Curriculum by the Department f Education. Thus, the authors of this book have recognized and nurtured all of the varied human intelligences, and all of the combinations of intelligences among students. Through this recognition, students’ learning and problem solving abilities will be increased. Furthermore, the different learning tasks help the teachers bring relevant real-life situations to the classroom, which help the students understand the current affairs, issues and concerns of the many facets of their global village.
