3rd Quarter | Week 1 | Activity


It is said that literature helps relieve LONELINESS. What is your favorite LITERATURE that you have read and enjoyed?


        “Before I fall” is a story of a girl who was thrown into a day of endless loop where she and her friends die from a car accident. This book gives a good view of the obscurity of social cliques amongst teenagers and how it affects their life and behavior. I like that Samantha’s reaction to her situation was realistic and her character development was greatly emphasized. The book gave such a satisfying yet heart-wrenching ending where Samantha sacrifices herself for Julia, therefore ending the loop. Her fear of death and her regret of not growing up and changing her ways were overpowered by her desire to give Julia that chance.

  1. What is the Kariton Klasrum? Why was it built?           The Kariton Klasrum (pushcart classroom) was created by Efren, his instructor KB, and other volunteers to provide education to children living in poverty, especially those living in the slums. From its name, it is made out of a pushcart that has multiple compartments which hold basic school equipment like books, markers, papers, rulers, etc. It serves as a make-shift classroom that can be conveniently placed anywhere. It was created so that education can be accessible for children who can’t afford it. The volunteers would teach children how to write and count.           Although it started as a small project, its influence and impact on the children are not small. It helped them realize that joining gangs and stealing things is not the only option they can take to live. It has given them the chance to dream and hope for a better life. 2. Efren came from a ...
