We Build This City

LIPUNAN, translated in the English language is SOCIETY. This has been the lesson that I have to teach to my students in their EsP class. To be honest, I find this topic boring and overrated. 

I had my qualms delivering the lesson to a class of bright students. I thought it would be drab if I have to stick with what's already in their modules. My students might not be responsive.

And so, I have to rack my brain and come up with something out of the ordinary- a worthwhile and at the same time, value- laden output. And voila!!!! I came up with this "We build this city-DIORAMA!" 

My students were very much into this.They pooled out their creative juices and really worked together embodying the principles of solidarity and subsidiarity, the primary goals of making the diorama. 

And as I quipped from them, through this diorama they became one with their own group. And they have faced the hurdles of building their own cities. Indeed, it is a big task. But through their collaborative effort, they were able to see the analogy of themselves to the real outside world.

Here are some of their products!!!!

They put their hands together to build their own city!

A city of compassion and other positive virtues is in the making

Who says those cartons of snacks have no use? 

An eco- friendly environment, everything shall be solar- powered! G-R-E_A-T!

Having a great time after coming up with a finished product! Just being proud of their work^^

Quite a talented bunch of visionaries and engineers. 

Through you, a new city shall be built...

Truly, you are the hope of our fatherland! 

Keep doing great things. 

Here are some of their reflections...

Making a comparison: MY GROUP AND MY COMMUNITY

Who would have thought of having to do this through colorful illustrations and magical presentations....

And so, learning is fun and an enjoyable thing to do!!!!!

Learn, Learn, Learn. And think much of what you have learned, as Dr. Jose Rizal had once advised the Filipino youth!
