Preface The pandemic brought about by the spread of the Corona Virus Disease 2019
(COVID 19) has reshaped education. From the traditional face-to-face learning, schools,
including Philippine School Doha (PSD), have been forced to think of new ways to promote
learning continuity. While it is true that the danger of COVID 19 looms around the world,
we educators cannot let this fear paralyze us and prevent us from carrying out our mission
and vocation of providing quality education for our learners. Hence, the conceptualization
of this module was born.
This module was born out of the necessity for education to continue despite the
lack of face-to-face instruction. It is a true testament of an educator’s resilience, to bounce
back from a challenge in order to make sure that the learning adventure with the students
continues. This is designed as an interactive-storytelling module where learners are
regarded as ADVENTURERS who traverse from one learning destination to another. This
learning kit is supplemented with synchronous learning via Zoom and other learning
resources like videos, podcasts, and text.
Dear Adventurer, I, teacher Wama your English 8 teacher and virtual tour guide,
warmly welcome you to our learning journey together.

CAPS ON;
A GREAT LEARNING
ADVENTURE AWAITS

The Role of Parents The School-Home or Parent-Teacher partnership is very vital in the students’ academic
achievement and success in education. Parents play an important role in their children’s
attitudes about learning and support learning at home. This partnership is an important
factor to help students reach their maximum potential. As we shift to a new paradigm of
the online teaching-learning process, we believe that educating students cannot be
achieved by teachers’ efforts alone. Parents’ involvement in the education of their children
is essential. Thus, parents are encouraged to play the following roles to supplement that
of the teachers.
Setting up parental controls for a safe and worry-free screen time of their children
Providing physical and technical support in setting up the children’s learning station
at home, checking internet connection and any laptop malfunction
Providing a conducive place for their children to work during live lessons, with good
lighting, quiet and comfortable venue for learning
Providing necessary school materials/equipment needed as required by the subject
teachers for their children’s project/ output/ performances/ activities
Making sure that their children are dressed appropriately (school uniform) while
participating in live lessons
Establishing routines/schedules and house rules in online learning
Monitoring the conduct of proper behavior of their children during live
lessons(synchronous)
Ensuring that the child is on task within the given schedule
Monitoring the children’s work constantly by browsing the module or logging on
to the PSD e-desk /learning portal
Monitoring their children’s progress in school regularly, by constantly checking
their work through browsing the module and logging on to the PSD e-desk portal
and making sure that the homework/ assigned activities are done
Motivating their children to do their best in everything that they do by giving
commendations on their achievements and encouraging them to work
independently
Maintaining harmonious parent-teacher relationship and attending scheduled
parent-teacher conferences and other important school meetings
Reading communication sent by the school , accomplishing the required response
for each letter and confirming the receipt of the letter through PSD E-desk
Answering the school’s online survey and correspondence as honestly and
promptly as possible
Communicating clarifications or issues with the teacher within the official work
hours
Keeping in touch with the teachers to keep themselves up-to-date with their
children’s progress
WAMA A. JORBINA, DALC P a g e | 5
Raising issues and concerns through the proper forum
Complying with the school policies on discipline and integrity
Following protocols set by the various school offices in transacting academic
concerns, payments, and other school-related matters
Maintaining a happy disposition to create a safe space for their children where they
can lay out all their issues or concerns that are bothering them to treat their parents
as their friends
Coaching/ helping students to build good habits and develop skills in good time
management
Looking for ways to inspire their children to avoid stress and discomfort of
performing the task

your literacy and language skills as you traverse from one concept to another. This module
is divided into six different learning destinations:
(The Call to Adventure): This section contains the different tour packages of concepts
that you need to learn during your Afro-Asian Adventure. Aside from text presentations of
the concepts in this module, you will be aided with additional educational videos,
infographics, and other learning materials that you can access via the PSD E-desk. You also
have your English Teacher, Teacher Wama, as your tour guide in this journey. So, worry not
dear Adventurer!

WAMA A. JORBINA, DALC P a g e | 8
GUIDED LEARNING
(Guided Tour): This destination asks you to step out of this module and go on a tour
via Zoom or Google meet together with other fellow adventurers. Here your virtual tour
guide, Teacher Wama, will help you clear doubts and misunderstanding. This is also the
part where you can share your learning and adventures with other adventurers. A journey
is more fun when shared with others!
(At the Crossroads): This section gives lesson exercises to check what you have learned
from the different concept tour packages in The Call to Adventure section. Remember the
lessons, reflect, and revisit the concept tour packages if you must. You need all these to
choose the right paths in your adventure.
Reinforcement
(Taking a Detour): This section gives a side trip of additional learning adventure to clear
out the bushes of misunderstanding and confusion. As you get near your destination, an
adventurer’s mind must be clear from doubts and confusion. Go ahead and take this
detour.
Learning Output
(The Ultimate Treasure): This section requires you do challenging tasks like solving
problems and mysteries. This will not be easy, but an Adventurer like you must go through
tests and challenges before you can claim your treasure. Stick with it, dear Adventurer!
Your reward is waiting.
