F. Alternative Assessment:
` This plan uses cooperative assessment activities to guide the learning competency of the
pupils. Group evaluation was made during the presentation of the group work. Where in other group
will be the one to evaluate the work of the group presenter with the scaffolding of the teacher based
on the guidelines and standard of the activity. In this assessment pupils were able to deepen their
understanding more on the lesson, able to identify the simple and –s/-es form of verb in the sentence,
and also show their creativity and develop critical thinking by presenting their works. Conferencing and
dialogue are the alternative assessment answering the group activity. This is the time where the
teacher scaffolds students understanding and know the strategy they used to attain the objective of
the lesson. After giving of assessment the teacher expects the student to answer the group work
through the use of the 4 skills which are the writing, speaking, listening, and reading. Correcting group
task/quizzes was also used as one of the performance assessment which the teacher do other teacher
works during group activity.

G. Reflection - phase 1:
Productive skills (speaking, writing) and receptive skills (listening, reading) are properly
demonstrated in this plan. Since the plan is for one day only with low and average level of thinking
students. The lesson was made easier, attainable and stress-free for the students to be competent in
attaining the objective of the lesson. Presentation of poem by reading, listening, drawing, and writing
the community helper and its corresponding pictures are suited for low and average students the
teacher have. Identifying the simple and –s/-es form of the verb in the sentence and also attainable.
Let the students listen the poem motivates them to participate in the group activity. The poem based
on the helper so that they are able to connect their practice behavior and manipulate the activity.
