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.

GET YOUR THINKING

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

In this module, you are going to go on an Afro-Asian adventure by reviewing,

relearning and applying different reading styles in understanding and appreciating Afro-

Asian literary text.

By the end of your travel adventure in this module, you should be able to:

1. differentiate scanning from skimming;

2. employ appropriate reading styles;

3. evaluate text through reading for critical understanding; and

4. create an advocacy promoting the importance of literacy and education.

Ultimately, your enriched literacy skills and rediscovered love for Afro-Asian literature

will transform you into reading advocates and promoters of literacy.

This module is designed as an itinerary of your Afro-Asian adventure through your

reading of various Afro-Asian literature. In the course of your journey, you will also enrich

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!

MODULE 1: THE BEGINNING OF MY AFRO-ASIAN ADVENTURE

Timeframe: 15 days

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.

WAMA A. JORBINA, DALC P a g e | 9

Learning Outcome

(You did it!): This section calls on you to highlight and showcase your significant

discoveries and learning. Armed with knowledge, skills, and values, be ready to show the

new and better version of yourself dear Adventurer.

The path in your adventure is not a straight line, there are twists and turns.

Sometimes, there is a need to revisit learning destinations to deepen your understanding

of the lesson before you can move to another learning destination. Yet, full of twists and

turns the path may be, I believe that you have what it takes to succeed Adventurer. Carry

on!

The Call to Adventure

At the start of your adventure, you meet a fellow adventurer named Asha. She

plans to travel to some Asian countries but has no idea how. Her first concern is how much

she needs for the tour. Help Asha by looking for the information that she needs from the

travel blog below.

How much does Asha need to prepare for itinerary 1? _____________

How much does Asha need to prepare for itinerary 2? ____________

How did you find the answers for the questions above?

Did you read the whole article or did you scan the article for keywords about prices?

Sample SOUTHEAST ASIA Itineraries

Southeast Asia is a favorite region for vacationers because it’s cheap, exotic, tourist-

friendly, and if you’re an ASEAN resident, close to home. Every day, we get

messages asking for sample Vietnam-Cambodia or Cambodia-Thailand or Singapore-

Malaysia itinerary. So here it is: a compilation of sample multi-country routes!

Itinerary #1: Thailand-Cambodia for 6 Days

Stops: Bangkok + Ayutthaya Day Tour, Siem Reap Entry point: Bangkok Exit point: Siem Reap Estimated Budget: USD 245 (QAR 892)

I’ve done this itinerary twice (as part of a longer trip), and I am willing to do it again given the chance. This itinerary is easy, and it showcases two of the region’s most amazing destinations: Bangkok and Siem Reap.

Itinerary #2: Vietnam-Cambodia for 7 Days

Stops: Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap Entry point: Ho Chi Minh City Exit point: Siem Reap Estimated Budget: USD 260 (QAR 947)
