Show & Tell:  Bring a photo of your family or find a family photo of a famous celebrity.  Talk about each person in the photo by describing their relationship with each other and occupation.  Use the adjective chart to describe their personality.  Be sure to include the use of hindi and wala in your description.  

​Audience:  Audience will be welcomed to ask YES/NO questions.  The same question may not be repeated.  For example, if a student asks Guro ba siya?  They should be encouraged to ask a unique question such as Nars ba siya?  Audience should also take notes on what they learned from at least 3 classmates.  Notes may be written in their L1, but the final submission must be written in Filipino. 

Enrichment Activity

Interview a friend or a classmate about their family.  Formulate questions you want to ask and create a family tree based on the results of your interview.  

Sample questions:
Ano ang pangalan ng lola mo?
Guro ba siya? 
Taga saan siya?

At this level, students are not able to comprehend answers to open-ended questions.  Students should formulate as much YES/NO questions to gain information about each family member.
