B. Direction: Fill out the graphic organizer with the appropriate details in the story

DOLPHINS AND WHALES
Bottlenose dolphins and orcas (killer whales belong to the same family and are both
marine mammals. They have blowholes located on the tops of their heads which allow them
to breathe. Both tend to live and hunt in groups. They are carnivorous. And feed on fish and
squid. They help one another target schools of fish in order to hunt their prey. By traveling in
pods, they also have a greater chance at surviving attacks from predators.
Orcas can be found in almost all oceans, mostly in Arctic and Antarctic seas. Their
coloring helps them stay camouflaged as well. They have white light undersides which blend
into the brightness of the water’s surface from below. Their backs are black which tend to
blend in with the dark look of the water’s surface from above. Killer whales can grow up to 25
feet in length and weigh up to 19,000 pounds. Whales communicate with each other by
making high-pitched click and whistle sounds.
Unlike the whale, bottlenose dolphins are gray in color. They can be found in tropical
and temperate shallow waters. A full frown male dolphin can be 10 feet in length and weigh
up to 650 pounds.
Both dolphins and orcas face threats to survival. The dolphin’s greatest threat is due to
climate change. As ocean water temperatures rise, the prey of dolphins start to look for
deeper, cooler waters. On the other hand, whale’s biggest treat to survival is pollution. Many
whales face contamination, which leads to low rates of birth and disease.

A. 1. (1-5) JOSE RIZAL’S CHILDHOOD

José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda was born on June 19, 1861, in the town of
Calamba, Laguna. He was baptized JOSE RIZAL MERCADO at the Catholic of Calamba by the parish
priest Rev. Rufino Collantes with Rev. Pedro Casañas as the sponsor. He was the seventh child in a
family of 11 children (2 boys and 9 girls). Both his parents were educated and belonged to
distinguished families.
Jose Rizal’s first teacher was his mother, who had taught him how to read and pray and who
had encouraged him to write poetry. Later, private tutors taught the young Rizal Spanish and Latin,
before he was sent to a private school in Biñan.
When he was 11 years old, Rizal entered the Ateneo Municipal de Manila. He earned excellent
marks in subjects like philosophy, physics, chemistry, and natural history. At this school, he read
novels; wrote prize-winning poetry (and even a melodrama—“Junto al Pasig”); and practiced drawing,
painting, and clay modeling, all of which remained lifelong interests for him.
The childhood of Jose Rizal can be characterized by his desire to learn, even frequenting
the church nearby his home to watch and observe people but not to be religiously inclined. Jose Rizal
was not a physically blessed or strong child however, he had a strong will guided and taught by his
mother, his first teacher. He learned almost without the use of books. His mother was the one who laid
the foundation of his great knowledge achieved in such a short time. His brilliance was also the
character of the young Jose Rizal.

A. 2. (6-9)
The Wind and the Sun
Aesop
The wind and the sun once had a dispute over which was the stronger of the two. They
saw a traveller coming down the road. And Sun said, “Here is our chance to prove who is right.
Whichever of us can make that man took off his coat shall be declared the winner.”
“Agreed,” wind said.
“And just to prove to you how sure I am of my strength,” Sun said, “I will let you have
the first chance.”
So Sun hid behind a cloud and Wind blew and blew until it became cold and the
traveller wrapped his coat tighter around him. The harder Wind blew, the tighter the man held on to his
flopping coat and hat. At last the Wind gave up in disgust. The Sun came out from his hiding place and
began to shine down upon the traveller. The traveller felt the sun’s warmth, and as the sun shone
brighter, the man grew warmer and warmer. He began to loosen his coat. Finally, he was forced to take
off his hat, his coat and his shirt. He sat down under the shade of the tree and began to fan himself with
his hat.
“See?” Sun said in triumph.
Wind sadly bowed his head and moved away greatly ashamed.
