Storyline for SHS Grade 11 (First Semester)

• The first period is for PE. There is some research showing that many older adolescents have a tendency to wake up late and receptiveness starts to peak later in the morning. The PE class will help awaken their senses. :-)

• Next are the Earth Sciences so that even if the learners have a slow start, the abstract scientific principles are more connected with what are easily observed with the senses in the home/garden/sky.

• Next is General Mathematics which will help them review and prepare for their core, applied and specialization subjects that come later.

• For the next subject, the different tracks split up for their specialized subjects. For STEM, they have Pre-calculus, which requires knowledge from General Mathematics.

• Before lunch, everyone takes up Introduction to the Philosophy of the Human Person that allows reflection on the evolution of human thought and knowledge of the world vis-à-vis the human search for self-actualization as a part of the universal community. The subject gives a lot of insights for lunchtime conversations.

• Four periods in the afternoon then focus on a higher level exposure to the languages of formal communication in the Philippines – English and Filipino – with emphasis on their use in professional and creative works.
