PREFACE
In April 2008 the 57-75 Movement organized a workbooks development write-shop in order to come up
with an immediate and effective response to the problem of lacking textbooks and instructional materials in public
schools. For two weeks, master teachers from each of the 57-75 pilot sites compiled a series of workbooks on
Science, English, and Mathematics designed for their elementary and high school students.
The write-shop aimed to: (1) identify least mastered skills in a subject area; (2) produce lesson guides that
will help increase the ability of classroom instructors in developing the mastery level of students particularly in
problematic subject areas; and (3) help teachers be creative in developing their own instructional materials based
on resources available to them in their respective schools.
Both the faculty and students of the public school system are expected to gain from this project. Teachers
will not only be aided by the problem-solving and explanations given in the workbooks but will also be helped in
terms of gearing their students towards a unified understanding of the subject matter. This workbook will also
serve as an alternative medium of instruction in the absence of textbooks and other necessary teaching materials
that the le ss fortunate may not be able to afford.
The workbooks development write-shop is also 57-75s contribution to enhancing the reading
proficiencies in its pilot sites.
57-75, a private sector-led movement created to help address the many problems of Philippine education,
was inspired by one of the many disturbing indicators of the state of Philippine education the results of the
National Achievement Test, in which grade school pupils scored close to 57.
The reversal of numbers in the campaign name from 57 to 75 symbolizes what the movement is trying
to do: turn things around, about radically rethinking the way we look at our education system and the way we
support it. We believe that this kind of rethinking will help turn around the dismal trends in Philippine education,
and eventually change statistics from 57 to 75.
57-75 advocates Focusing on helping students stay in school, enhancing reading proficiencies, and
improving achievement rates in math, science, and English; student and school Performance; and Community
Empowerment and Engagement.
57-75 wishes to acknowledge the Ateneo Center for Educational Development for supervising the
workshop. Much gratitude is also given to the League of Corporate Foundations Committee on Education which
funded the workshop through a grant provided by TeaM Energy Foundation, as well as to Jollibee Foundation for
additional logistical support.
57-75 would also like to especially acknowledge the master teachers from the pilot sites without their
commitment, this workbook would not have been possible. We also extend our appreciation to the reviewers,
editors and encoders of ACED who accommodated this project into their existing workload.
57-75 is also very grateful to the initial pool of corporate donors who have pledged to help in the
reproduction of this workbook: TeaM Energy Foundation, Petron Foundation, Pilmico Corporation, BPI
Foundation, Metrobank Foundation and Insular Life Foundation. Thank you for helping to reverse the education
crisis!

Fill it with hay and clay. It is so cute and tender
In the morning air!
Youd rather bake a cake?
Stay home and be gay. Its color is crimson red
Ill take a walk by the lake. In the early light
I wont go home till its late. I adore from my cozy bed

Sun, give out your bright rays. Oh how I wish I were
Dont let it rain, I pray. A butterfly fair
Rain, rain, stay away! That visits this flower
From the fragrant air.

By Efleda J. Geralde

and clean place to live in. The air was always fresh and the surrounding was peaceful. What he could hear
were the chirping of the birds and the sounds of animals.
At the back of the nipa hut where he stayed were beautiful flower and vegetable garden. On
the sides were different fruit trees. He enjoyed watching the birds flying from one tree to another and the
flitting of butterflies from one flower to another. What a sight to behold. It was indeed a memorable stay in
the farm for Austin.
Years later, he came back to see the place where he once visited and stayed. He was
surprised to see the trees cut down. The place became warmer. The air was no longer fresh to breathe.
When he turned his back he saw a big oil plant built at the center of the farm. And when he stepped down
the water stream where he used to drink, he saw it very dirty, too. The birds and animals were gone.
Upon seeing these changes, he felt sad. What remained were only the beautiful memories
of the place.

Favorite Cartoon Characters
Disneyland is the home of Mickey Mouse, Snow White, the Seven
Dwarfs, Aladdin, Peter pan, Bambi, and even Simba. These cartoon
characters were made by Walter Elias Disney and his friends a long time ago.
Mickey Mouse was the first cartoon character. Everybody loved him
because he was both funny and good. Because he had many fans, the script
writers showed him as good and lovable. Whenever a cartoon showed him
misbehaving, letters from mommies and daddies would tell the studio that Mickey was
teaching their children to misbehave.
After Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney made more characters like Goofy,
Cinderella, and many others. But Mickey Mouse was their leader. Walter Elias
Disney died in 1966 but people remember him because his cartoons live and continue to make
people laugh. They also teach children to be good.

What a Traffic Jam!

Have you seen a traffic jam like this? One Sunday two trucks collided on the busy San
Bernardino Freeway. One truck was loaded with 3,700 chickens and the other with 50 cows.
It was unbelievable, said the police officer. The animals were running down the freeway in
both directions. The chickens were squawking all over the place. Some of the hens began laying eggs.
Most of the chickens were rounded up by the police officers, but the cows ran off. Volunteers on
horseback went galloping after them. One cow stampeded through the streets of three nearby towns. One
cow was roped and tied in the playground of a public school. Another cow caused five minor accidents
before it was killed in a head-on crash with a car.
Freeway traffic was backed up more than nine kilometers. No humans were injured, but it was
more than six hours before the traffic jam finally let up.

How Do Fish Protect Themselves?
Have you ever thought about how small fish protect themselves? Fish have various parts for
protection. Their mouth, jaws, and teeth help in getting food. They also help in fighting enemies. Some
fish like the swordfish, marlin, and sawfish have long and sharp teeth. Other fish like the shark have
mouths, which point downward. Its opposite is the salmon whose mouth points upward.
Some fish have stings that are poisonous. The most popular are the stingray, scorpion fish, and
toadfish. The stingray has a sting at the back of its tail. It has poison glands at the base of the sting. When
attacked by enemies, it gives out poison. Stingrays feed on shellfish and worms hidden in the mud and
sand.
Oftentimes, especially on dark nights, fishermen see fish with bright shining lights. These are
electric eel and electric catfish. They can produce an electric shock that drives their enemies away.
Another way by which fish protect themselves is by changing their colors. Fishes have body parts
that help them imitate their surroundings. They can produce colors like those corals, rocks, and water
plants.
Directions: Write major topic and supporting details of proof sentences. The first ones
have been provided for you.

Juan Tamad
Adapted
By Severina P. Labial
Division of Camiguin
Juan Tamad was noted lazy in the community. He was often seen lying and sleeping under a big
tree sleeping. Whenever his mother would send him on an errand, he would first sit down to rest, then he
would soon forget what his mother sent him for.
One day, Juan Tamad and his friends went near the river and played paper boats. Later, they
decided to make a raft from banana trunks. They went to the deeper part of the river for a race. The three
boys used paddles because they wanted to win while Juan lay down on the raft and slept.
The three boys guided their raft with their paddles while Juan just drifted with the flow of the
river. Since Juan was sleeping, he didnt realize that his raft had moved to the right side of the river. The
other boys knew that Juan was not using a paddle, so they expected him to come in late in the appointed
place. Juan Tamad, on the other hand, went on sleeping.
When Juan woke up, he was scared with the frightening sounds. He immediately left the raft and
ran fast home.
