have cherished
Twit Me – This is a quote presentation and analysis. The quote to be presented has to be properly
researched and documented. A short explanation has to be given too.
Tongue Twister – This will serve as an oral exercise for everyone. This has to be written on a manila
paper/cartolina and posted on the board for everyone to see.
