Thought flows in terms of stories...
Stories about events, stories about people, and stories about intentions and achievements. The best teachers are the best story tellers. We learn in the form of stories-Frank Smith. An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life-Author Unknown.

Prepare your rationale of research study and the place as your research environment
Prepare your rationale of research study
Rationale is very important when you plan to come up with concrete ideas based on facts and theories. Rationale serves as the conduit of information to justify concerning the pros and cons of your research.
For example in my study (referring to my thesis), it said that it must have been expected that most of the baccalaureate degrees that have been offered by various learning institutions like universities require language acquisition. As I conducted my research study at the CIT, almost all students on the campus are being obliged to enroll the English subject even if the student is taking up a course...any student who majors in Science or any subject, except English as the second language.
However, it is sad to note that being obligated to study such a major tool with the "irrelevant subject mindset" of the student, the possibility to fluently and confidently understand the language can be a huge factor in the syntax and semantic acquisition of the learner himself. The inclination to the importance of speaking, writing, reading, and listening will become less than what most students aim to acquire because of the diversity and period of time to learn the language.
This is one of the reasons why the researcher like me decided to conduct a study on the level of language acquisition of students who are taking up Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. In this study, the researcher aims to internalize the simple but deep insights of the students on the usage and inclusion of universal language in their program.
Prepare the place as your research environment
I choose to conduct my research study at the Cebu Institute of Technology- University (CIT University) (formerly known as Cebu Institute of Technology) here in the Philippines which is a private non-sectarian academic institution, providing basic and higher education with a foundation in general and technological education.
As we all know that CIT is the first higher educational institution (HEI) in the Visayas and Mindanao classified as Category A. This places CIT as a mature teaching institution under the CHED-IQUAME framework. IQUAME is Institutional Quality Assurance through Monitoring and Evaluation, a system of higher education quality assurance and classification. CIT is one of only nine schools nationwide awarded by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as Center of Excellence in Information Technology Education.

What is Filipino version of chamber theatre?
What is chamber theatre? According to the 3 explanations
published online, in the 1st explanation, the chamber theater is an
interpretation of literary works put on the stage, usually a majority of the
text is kept in-tact. Minimal set pieces, costumes do not always suggest the character.
In the 2nd explanation, the chamber theatre is a style advocated by Robert Breen as a theatrical approach to performing narrative literature. It is a still-evolving form, so do not hesitate to experiment to find the most effective and appropriate ways to make the script come alive as theatre. Most of its techniques are the same as those in Story Theatre, since both use the same basic approach to full-stage performance.
In the 3rd explanation, the chamber theatre is a method of adapting literary works to the stage using a maximal amount of the work's original text and often minimal and suggestive settings. The narration is included in the performed text and the narrator might be played by multiple actors.

Further, Professor Robert S. Breen (1909-1991) introduced
"Chamber Theater" to his Oral Interpretation Classes at Northwestern
University in 1947. Northwestern’s Professor of Performance Studies Frank
Galati, who studied Chamber Theater with Dr. Breen, has directed highly
acclaimed Chamber Theater Productions for the Goodman Theater and Steppenwolf
Theater Companies in Chicago. Galati’s Chamber Theater adaptation of John
Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath won two Tony Awards on Broadway. One of the
most famous and elaborate examples of chamber theatre is David Edgar's The Life
and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, in which Charles Dickens' characters
narrate themselves in third person.
Set pieces are carried in and taken away during the performance, rather than between scenes, and objects may be represented in a mimetic manner. Another example is Matthew Spangler's stage adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner.

Here are the samples of full and semi versions of Filipino Chamber Theatre that really give emphasis to the importance of a genre and a literary
chic used as a theatrical approach to performing narrative literature. The 4th year students of Professional Academy
of the Philippines (PAP) in Cebu have rendered fully the Filipino version of
Chamber Theatre based on adapting literary works to the stage using a maximal
amount of the work's original text and often minimal and suggestive settings.
Observe how they categorically interpret and perform on stage. Enjoy and watch the
sui generis Chamber Theatre…

In-Service Training & Professional Qualities: Pros and Cons of Effective Teachers
The teaching profession must be associated with the needs of
teachers who have possessed with professional qualities. The needs must
encompass the following: positive atmosphere in a class wherein the students
are very attentive and responsive to the discussion and some other related
activities to be done inside the classroom; fair treatment among the students
and the teacher himself in day-to-day living and teaching; firmness and
understanding from their superiors; recognition for their contributions as far
as effective teaching and humane lesson application are concerned; and chance
for professional growth.
The Advantages: The Teacher’s Role
I agree with this statement that…the development and
continuing search for savvy and information, as well as the enhancement of new
skills in the scientific processes become the center of focus in the teachers
learning activities.
According to Dr. Francisco Zulueta, the teacher should help
and motivate students learn how to ask interesting questions. The teacher’s own
questioning strategy will serve as a model or a pattern to all the learners. It
is indispensable that the teacher allows certain flexibility in the manner that
the learners are doing their assigned tasks. The teacher should involve the
students in planning their own ways of gathering data to test their hypothesis.
Creativity will in effect enhance their own methodologies of managing their own
learning activity.
It is also supported by another explanation that the
teacher's deeper sense of purpose includes maintaining an attentive attitude
towards conflicts between children. The classroom environment fosters numerous
interactions between multiple children on a daily basis, creating the largest
social component of a child's life. Shaping a child's social development,
therefore, falls on the teacher who takes on the role of mediator and coach.
As far as the roles of teacher are concerned, Gregorio
expounded on the several roles that…since learning is an active process on the
part of the learner, it is not possible for the teacher to learn for the
student. In a very real sense, the teacher cannot make the student learn, but
the former can have a tremendous influence on learning.
The teacher can help stimulate or motivate the learner by bringing the latter to see the connection between the learning problem and some significant needs or interests of the student. The teacher can help the learner make those reactions which are to be learned, and help the learner obtain the appropriate reaction by guiding his thinking through questions that focus attention on particular aspects of the problem which might otherwise be overlooked.
Thus, the teacher may have a great influence by helping the learner get satisfaction from the right source of reactions. As the desired behavior is reiterated over and over, adequate practice can be provided and progress made toward a high level of learning.

Thus, the teacher may have a great influence by helping the learner get satisfaction from the right source of reactions. As the desired behavior is reiterated over and over, adequate practice can be provided and progress made toward a high level of learning.
The Disadvantages: A Question of Faith
One of the high school students shared this open letter to
all the teachers, and here is the content entitled "A Question of
Faith" of said letter: What makes up a harmonious school? Of course, it is
a school that has credible, but strict teachers where the students feel like
they’re under a martial law. Likewise, it is a school where both the teachers
and students are working together for the betterment of the school. I think
I’ll have to pick the latter. I believe that what runs a learning institution
is unity. Without this, a school can be threatened with abuses and troubles by
the external forces. The reason is that it lacks of interaction between the
teacher and students.
So let’s talk about this student-teacher relation. This
involves different teachers and teaching ways. I agree that when students and
teachers have good communication and interaction, the students have confidence
too because they expect help from teachers when they really need it, and won’t
hesitate to ask one.
But sad to say, there are other teachers who are forcing
their students to be what they are not. I mean they want each student to do a
certain task, but the problem is, the student has no capacity to do that thing.
Well, it is good to train the student with his weaknesses but forcing him to do
the task that is against his own volition will only worsen the situation. The
students may feel inferior to being dictated or forced by their teachers. So,
“Ma’am or Sir if you’re one of them…please wake up; and perhaps, you’re out of
your mind, you know? You too have weaknesses—please give your students a little
consideration or break.”
Another type of teacher is where the students are most
afraid of…a strict teacher! This type of teacher can make the students shake their
knees when the teacher enters the room. The students are “all-eyes” and very
attentive to the teacher because if you don’t pay attention, you will be sent
out of the room without question, and you will get embarrassed afterward.
There’s no other voice in the room, but the teacher only who is discussing
“this and that,” as well as explaining her/his subject matter. The teacher does
it well, and the discussion is running smoothly. She/he stops and asks the
students if they understand the lessons. The students, because of fear of being
scolded, nervously answered “yes.” The next day, “test.”
As a result, no one gets a perfect score and several get
zero. When asked by the Tribune journalist why do these terrible things happen?
The students have just simply replied, “Ma’am/Sir, we are afraid of you.” The
teacher has also answered, “But why?” “It's because you’re so
strict...Ma’am/Sir, and we can’t even trace a smile on your face. Every time
you come to this room, our hearts beat so fast that we can’t understand what
you are discussing. Our hands are so cold and are shaking, too.” This would be
the most-encountered problem of a strict teacher. No matter how competent or
credible you are, if you practice strictness beyond the limitation, the
students can’t fully learn what you are trying to explain to them.
On the other hand, there are still teachers who are imposing
liberalism and nonchalance on their classes. When they talk, the students also
talk, but they don’t mind this, after all, students are just at the tips of
their pens, so to say. They never mind students of harassing or abusing them.
They’ll just say, “Wait for your report card.” Result, poor grades. So fellow
students, respect our teachers, they’re our parents in school. They deserve to
be cared and valued. You might just have nicer grades because being nice and
kind also count on your grades, but don’t be too much haughty to curry favor
with the teachers.
What I like most of a teacher is the one who can maximize
the students’ talents, who can have confidence or trust in her/his students,
and who can guide them or lead them to the right track of life. I believe that
these are the aims of most teachers, but still others are indifferent. I get
fully impressed about teachers who can tickle their students’ minds and even
feelings. Though the room is hot, congested and noisy, the teacher can still
make the students laugh. Through this, the teacher and students can build up a
good and strong relation among themselves.
Lastly, I agree with this concluding paragraph…that the
students also have responsibilities. So, with the help of our teachers, we can
make this learning institution one of the best schools in town. Participation,
unity, friendliness, and the other virtues, we need these characteristics from
both the teachers and students to achieve a nice student-teacher relation. What
counts most in a certain learning institution is the teaching force. If we have
more teachers, then we are blessed. Teaching is a big deal. Being a teacher is not easy. It takes time, patience and effort to shape one's character and to build up one's rounded personality to become prolific in the future. We can't deny the fact that all teachers are the molders of the youth. There are a lot of
responsibilities. You’re a teacher not because you discuss better than the
others, not because you have higher educational attainment. You’re a teacher
because you’re born for it. You are destined to be a teacher. Teaching is a
talent…teachers are gifts. They deserve to be honored and praised not because
of their achievements or capacity, but because they are teachers, like our Lord
Jesus Christ who once became the greatest teacher in this world.

How does a school organ cater to the needs of students
A school organ caters to the needs of students
in relation to the affairs and improvement of the school.
The development, as well as improvement of the school is the paper’s vision while helping the students express themselves in their mission.
In that way, I believe that there will be a good interaction or harmonious relationship between the faculty and students.

A true campus paper has no rooms for baseless and
unfounded reports, articles and opinions. It singles out to publish a
controversial issue and to let it be raised candidly and vehemently without
necessarily inviting any court suit for libel.
If the learning institution cannot tolerate a maximum militancy, at least some crucial, related, scholarly, veritable and concrete pieces of research and reporting will do.
It takes just a little skill to be able to deliver iconoclastic notions in very distinct or vivid languages and styles that are respectable and acceptable by the reading and viewing public—the masses.

The administrative strategies concentrated on the
manipulation of student affairs; for example, censorship of articles has
already been rampantly practiced. Students who are wearing signs of protests
against the oppressive educational system are either threatened or bullied.
A struggle limited only on the campus cannot win, for our real foe is the imperialist with its local cohorts who perpetuate the existing neo-colonial and semi-feudal conditions of the Philippines.
Through these existing problems, the campus paper can serve as a progressive student populace with canons of journalism and structural consciousness.

The canons of journalism are the best weapon to curb our
thoughts and, at the same time, restrain from bandying about infallible
scuttlebutt concerning administrative matters if they are deemed necessary.
For the information of everyone, there are 7 significant things as quoted and created for ethical mileage by different editors and writers in both local and international newspapers.
Thus, the canons of journalism are as follows: 1) Responsibility; 2) Freedom of the Press; 3) Independence; 4) Sincerity, Truthfulness, Accuracy; 5) Impartiality; 6) Fair Play; and 7) Decency.

The joy of living together: A cycle of service to the parents’ unconditional love and care for children
In a certain family, individual activities are as important
as those who performed in groups. Parents should provide from time to time in
each of their children the opportunity to spend time alone with them. Children
will enjoy a lot having for a while “dad or mom” just for them. One day or more
of being together at all times, the family members are very delighted to go to the
zoo or place where there is tranquility or fresh air everywhere flashing unto
their countenances—free from pollution.
To reckon with, during a family camp, an old man was sharing
an experience that marked his childhood. His family was not particularly facile
to do something prolific for the betterment of the family; but even worse, none
of the family members in it is openly expressing love, care, value or good
attitude towards him. That's why he cherished in his memory, a special event:
the one where his mother who took care of him after the entire afternoon to
make him a straw robot. This testimony of simple affection had enriched more
than a lot of money that would have done to anyone.
We anticipate more of the reactions on behalf of our
children. In fact, before they were going to sleep, one of the boys told his
parents: "We really had a wonderful day together...pointing
directly to dad and mom..." The happy parents could not refuse, but agree to have
spent the day with their children. In a family, of course, nothing can replace
such wonderful time together and special moments with the children. For the
children, it is a sense of security, understanding, and love that they can get
from their parents emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually—all rolled
into one. A very deep bond or strong relationship develops between parents and
children.
A Cycle of Service
Giving service to others is a gift that needs to be treasured forever. It is a fundamental cycle to reach out for the welfare of others and a basic principle to live each life to the fullest by helping others...
The question is not whether we have time to do it, we always
fail, but it is taking time!
It is a big role of the parents to rear their children so
much and care for them in order to be productive citizens someday. It is in
this whole scenario or perspective that parents can give the best upshot to
their children to do something great for the country. It is their
responsibility to support them in terms of temporal and spiritual things; most
importantly, their education caters a lot to the success and endless protection
of the family and country as well. It is true that we should stress out how
lucky we are…as parents to provide them best education, guidance and proper
nutrition so that someday they will be our great leaders not only for the
family members but also for the people around us as prolific citizens of our
country.
We can’t deny the fact that parents must find ways and
means to support them temporally and spiritually. Parents can give their
children presents better than to give themselves devoting their time. As the
saying goes, “If the parents were to start with proper guidance and right
education of their children, they would spend more time with them." It was
realized that the moments of fun and relaxation spent with family are the most
precious memories of children.
A merchant asked his pal: "Do you know what I'm going
to give my son for Christmas?" He showed him a piece of paper on which he
had written: "To my son, I'll hang out with you every day of the week, and
we will use it as you please…" We can’t reiterate it enough to say words
or potent message: parents can give their children gifts better than to give
themselves devoting their time. My question is...do we have time to do it? The
question is not whether we have time to do it, we always fail, but it is taking
time!
In a certain family, individual activities are as important
as those who performed in groups. Parents should provide from time to time in
each of their children the opportunity to spend time alone with them. Children
will enjoy a lot having for a while “dad or mom” just for them. One day or more
of being together at all times, the whole family is very delighted to go to the
zoo or place where there is tranquility or fresh air everywhere flashing unto
their countenances—free from pollution.
A number of medical practitioners, especially those people
who worked among the orphans of World War II have realized one thing: “Children
who were recovering without too much trouble were precisely those who
remembered spending quality time with family.” Again, to reiterate, people who
worked among the orphans of World War II have realized one thing: “Children who
were recovering without too much trouble were precisely those who remembered
spending quality time with family.”
To give emphasis to the importance of family, people who
worked among the orphans have realized one thing: “Children who
were recovering without too much trouble were precisely those who remembered
spending quality time with family.” … that means spending quality time together
as a family, it is just like taking time for each other to discuss around a
table, to help each other for the realization of a project, and perhaps to play
a game that everyone can participate. As they popularly and correctly say, “A
family that prays together stays together.”
Finally, it is a big role of the parents to rear their
children so much and unconditionally love them in order to be productive
citizens someday. It is in this positive situation that parents can give the
best support to their children to do something great for the country. It is
their responsibility to reach out in terms of temporal and spiritual things;
most importantly, their education caters to the success of the family and
country as well.

This waiver is to overtly countenance
my son/daughter
of Year, Section to
join the DIVISION SCHOOLS PRESS CONFERENCE (DSPC) 2008, who is also one of the
area level presscon winners…singled out/qualified to compete in ____________________
on November 10-12, 2008, Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, at Consolacion
Central School, Consolacion, Cebu.
I understand that the training aims to impart basic
journalistic knowledge to the student-participants, spark their interests and
enthusiasm in journalism, and equip them with journalistic skills to give them
a competitive edge in the press conferences that they will be attending in the
future. Moreover, the training also seeks to introduce current trends and
techniques in journalism, not only for the students in particular but also for
the school paper advisers in general.
On the other hand, on the part of Division Schools Press
Conference 2008, I understand that the aims are: to serve as a forum communicating
through a variety of journalistic approaches; to enhance journalism
competencies through friendly individual and group competitions; and to select
the division’s representatives to the regional press conference, in which I, the
undersigned parent/guardian, am willing to support financially just for the
benefits of my child.
Except for the registration fee which is to be shouldered only
by the school paper advisers, I understand that my child will be provided
personally with pocket money for food, fares and other incidental expenses.
Besides, refund for the expenses in the previous area level presscon contests
is to be given individually to the concerned student, exclusively for The
Access staffers.
In giving this waiver, I understand that the school paper
advisers are to join the said presscon in order for them to help monitor the
discipline of the students. Thus, I am confident that my son/daughter will be
in safe hands. Having stated this, in case of any untoward incident would
happen that is beyond the human power to prevent, I shall not hold the school
principal, school paper advisers or the faculty of Minglanilla National Science
High School (MNSHS) liable for it. Since this is purely on voluntary process,
it is my discretion to allow or not to allow my child to join in case my mind
changes prior to the date.

incidental expenses, except only for the food (rice, canned goods, etc.) that I
want him/her to bring while on the way to the destined stay-venue for 4 days just
to minimize expenses.
In giving this waiver, I understand that the school paper
advisers, together with the principal, will accompany the writer-contestants in
order for them to help monitor the discipline of each student. Thus, I am
confident that my son/daughter will be in safe hands. Having stated this, in
