GRADE 12 READING TEXTS For Weeks 7 and 8
GRADE 12 READING TEXTS For Weeks 7 and 8
Quarter 3 – Week 7
Choose the strategies that work best for you or that best suit your purpose.
1. Ask yourself pre-reading questions. For example: What is the topic, and what do you already know about it?
Why has the instructor assigned this reading at this point in the semester?
2. Identify and define any unfamiliar terms.
3. Bracket the main idea or thesis of the reading, and put an asterisk next to it. Pay particular attention to the
introduction or opening paragraphs to locate this information.
4. Put down your highlighter. Make marginal notes or comments instead. Every time you feel the urge to
highlight something, write instead. You can summarize the text, ask questions, give assent, protest vehemently.
You can also write down key words to help you recall where important points are discussed. Above all, strive to
enter into a dialogue with the author.
5. Write questions in the margins, and then answer the questions in a reading journal or on a separate piece of
paper. If you’re reading a textbook, try changing all the titles, subtitles, sections and paragraph headings into
questions. For example, the section heading “The Gas Laws of Boyle, Charles, and Avogadro” might become “What
are the gas laws of Boyle, Charles, and Avogadro?”
6. Make outlines, flow charts, or diagrams that help you to map and to understand ideas visually.
7. Read each paragraph carefully and then determine “what it says” and “what it does.” Answer “what it says”
in only one sentence. Represent the main idea of the paragraph in your own words. To answer “what it does,”
describe the paragraph’s purpose within the text, such as “provides evidence for the author’s first main reason” or
“introduces an opposing view.”
8. Write a summary of an essay or chapter in your own words. Do this in less than a page. Capture the essential
ideas and perhaps one or two key examples. This approach offers a great way to be sure that you know what the
reading really says or is about.
9. Write your own exam question based on the reading.
10. Teach what you have learned to someone else! Research clearly shows that teaching is one of the most
effective ways to learn. If you try to explain aloud what you have been studying, (1) you’ll transfer the information
from short-term to long-term memory, and (2) you’ll quickly discover what you understand — and what you don’t.

Grade 12 Reading Intervention Activities
Quarter 3 – Week 8
Reading effectively requires approaching texts with a critical eye: evaluating what you read for not just what it
says, but how and why it says it. Effective reading is central to both effective research (when you evaluate sources)
and effective writing (when you understand how what you read is written, you can work to incorporate those
techniques into your own writing). Being an effective reader also means being able to evaluate your own practices,
working to develop your critical reading skills.

In line with DepEd Order No. 30, series of 2017, implementation of work immersion in schools is
considered as a must-have requirement in the Senior High School curriculum. Through this, grade 12
learners are provided with work-related professional learning opportunities that will help them to be
fully equipped with life and career skills in preparation for meeting the needs and challenges of
employment after graduation.
In order to continuously provide quality education in the new normal through distance learning,
the second time tie-up between the Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School and CREOTEC Philippines Inc.
makes the program more accessible and engaging for the learners in remote work immersion
engagements. In line with this, the SHS Work Immersion Program aims to strengthen partnership
between the industry and the academe to ensure learners; readiness for higher learning,
entrepreneurship or employment.
Specifically, this program intends to provide the Grade 12 learners with opportunities: (1) to be
familiarized with the workplace in a supervised setting; (2) to be engaged in employment simulation;
and (3) to apply their competencies and acquired knowledge relevant to the areas of their specialization.
Prior to the conduct of actual work immersion in CVLIS, a scheduled work immersion program
orientation was held through Google Meet and FB Live. For the learners’ and parents’ reference,
immersion-related announcements were sent via learners’ and parents’ group chats.
The said orientation was attended by the CREOTEC representatives, school administrators,
Grade 12 advisers and immersion teachers and most especially the Grade 12 learners as virtual
participants.
Moreover, Ms. Mildred M. De Leon, the CVLIS school principal, emphasized that this early
preparation on work immersion will help the learners to pursue their choice of career and further
studies in the near future. Also, she assured the learners and parents that CVLIS will still continue its goal
in providing the quality education despite the challenges brought by the pandemic.
To give a comprehensive orientation on CREOTEC industry, Ms. Jenn, one of the CREOTEC
consultants, gave an overview through an audio visual presentation which tackled the nature of the said
industry. Moreover, it was presented that the industry provides the learners with various opportunities
to undergo series of trainings on specific topics for the 80-hour Work Immersion Program as required by
the Department of Education. Hence, it was emphasized that the learners’ work immersion engagement
in the industry shall not be considered as employment arrangement but only to serve the K-12 Program
purpose of exposing the learners to actual workplace setting and augment the competencies provided
by the school. The said program was also designed for remote work immersion setting in which learners
are required to have training sessions through the different modalities since they are strictly prohibited
on conducting face-to-face interactions. For instance, designated workplans in all areas of specialization
(STEM, HUMSS, ABM, TVL-HE/EIM) were also presented and discussed accordingly through the AVP.
To further attest the meaningful learning opportunities provided by the CREOTEC industry,
testimonies of former trainees/learners were undoubtedly shared through a video presentation. The
experiences they had were generally assessed by the trainees/learners as an achievement for them
most especially in developing their skills and competencies in handling their work assignments.
In general, Mr. Saliling discussed that they are not merely offering the enrichment of technical
skills of the learners but also soft skills that help them to succeed in the workplace.
a. appreciate the importance and application of the principles and theories learned in home
b. develop good work habits
c. enrich their communication skills
d. enhance their technical knowledge and skills
