Because of the hunger we experience, it will only depend on the effect of having something to eat. And if we don't work hard, this is the time we will feel hungry. To most people, hunger is a tragedy for many or some of our citizens lack employment because of their situation, that they didn't complete studies due to poverty.    If we are hungry, our body and mind will not function properly. My example is that if a student went to school without eating something will cause him or her to lose focus in class.

  Assessment of learning in the twenty-first century does not only come with a pen and paper test. It also involves performance tasks which allow the learners show how much they have learned. One of the good things in a performance task is that it does not only give you the learned concepts in a single subject area but it can also show their learning across subject areas. The following videos showcase my students' outputs in making an Information Advocacy Campaign. In the following videos, not only the students show learning on what an Information Advocacy Campaign is all about but they also show their learning in ICT on the basic video editing skills, which tells us what kind of learners our 21st century students are.

One of the many things teachers miss in the NORMAL face-to-face-learning-set-up is getting students collaboratively perform a task where they can apply their individual skills learned and join them together to come up with an output which we can all appreciate.

In a one-act play performance task, the learners try to develop good understanding on how verbal and non-verbal language (which includes body language, facial expression and changes in the voice) should work together to convey the meaning of the scences and have theme communicated to the viewers. Using the script of the "Super Dead Man", my Grade 9 English students performed a one-act play. Please click the youtube link below and enjoy watching. One-Act Play Consider liking the video ...
