winner ka!

Ano ang gagawin mo kung nanalo ka ng Php 650,000.00?

Setting

Hindi ko na maalala kung kailan to nangyari… pero ang maliwanang na nasa isip ko ay hindi pa ganun ka-sikat ang paggamit ng cell phone (CP). A fearless guess siguro would be less than 40% palang ng population ng Pilipinas ang gumagamit ng CP noon…

Fairy Tale

Nakatanggap ako ng text message na ganito…

AUDITORS or PHIL. CHARITY FOUNDATION nforming u that ur sim no. had won php650,000 in an elctronic raffle, drawn last 04/24/2005. NCR DTI #0438 PLS CALL ME NOW Im ATTY. - - - - - - -     

 Summer break noon.  Wala si Ermat at si Ianda (bunso kong kapatid), nasa probinsiya para magbakasyon… Kami lang ni Jen ang tao sa bahay. Mahirap lang kami… (pero masaya naman hehehehehe).

Tuwang tuwa ako nung mga oras na ‘yon. Pati si Jen ng makita ang text message. Within 15 minutes nakapagcome-up kami ng isang mahabang listahan kung pano madidespatsa ung 650K. Nasa baba ang listahan na naggawa namen…

Reality

Kahit wala akong pera nakapagload ako that time para makatawag sa kanila… May sumagot sa kabilang linya; “Heto na siya….!” (may nagpapalakpakan akong narinig after).

May mga tanong siya, ano daw propesyon at work ko, sinabi ko naman na ako’y engineer… Tinatanong nya rin kung meron daw akong bank account, dahil malaki daw ang napanalunan ko kaya dun nalang daw idedeposito ang pera, sabi ko naman wala… kaya walang choice kundi ako mismo ang magclaim ng prize.

Eto na… para ma-validate daw ang prize ko kailangan kong bumili ng tatlong prepaid cards (load) ng Smart or Globe na worth Php 300.00. Sinabi nya na hindi daw involve ang Smart at Globe sa raffle na to, kailangan lang daw ang load para ma-validate ang prize (may emphasis na sinabi nya un). Kailangan ko daw na i-send ang code at pin ng 3 prepaid cards na nabili ko sa kanila. Natapos ang usapan namen at unti-unti ring gumuho ang napakataas nameng listahan ng mga pangarap…

Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM): A Closer Look

SIM on Radiation

by: J. Policarpio

Wow! It’s my first time to submit an entry for Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM) for the regional level… as expected, my entry wasn’t selected (I’ve already prejudged my work). SIM is an instructional material intended to re-teach topics which are considered as Least Mastered. It’s different from a module in many aspects but its main goal is parallel to having remedial classes for those Least Mastered topics. It only requires least teacher supervision. These are some of the pointers I’ve learned from one of the judges of that contest, and I want to share it with you:

*SIM must be accompanied  by 'Study' (Classroom-based Research)

*Topics for SIM must be Least Mastered Skill (identify based on quarterly exam). For example, the topic “density” is not least mastered skill, as she explained.
 
*SIM must be easy to reproduce
 
*Consider Time Allotment for your SIM. Is it ideal for 1 period or 2 periods?
 
*SIM is not student project, avoid using glitters or bright colors which might cause difficulty in reproducing your SIM
 
*Do not copy ideas. Copyrighted materials or entity should not be used in your SIM, like 'Naruto' or “super Mario” (your design should be original)
 
*Don’t use prominent personalities, like 'artista', she made mention of one DepEd Sec who disagrees on putting TV Personalities on the cover of students’ notebooks
 
*Your SIM is intended for Individualized Instruction (I.I.)
   
   My SIM entry this year, 'Radiation… A closer look', was about properties of different types of radiation. Although my entry passed the pointers above, it wasn’t able to make up to the top 5. Well, this is my first time, if given a chance; I’ll try again next year.  

   The best consolation I've learned from this competition is the experience [it's valuable]. Also, meeting familiar faces from college life [reunion], and a note inserted to my SIM written on a piece of small yellow paper, and I quote, 'easy to understand' from one of the judges. [I don't know if it's intended for my SIM entry or just a misplaced note... hahaha]
