PREFACE
This material follows the INTO, THROUGH and BEYOND framework. The IN-
TO Phase follows a stage where tasks are introduced and contextualized as a se-
ries of introductory activities. The THROUGH Phase is where the students are
going to accomplish the main tasks with the course outcomes targeted in the ma-
terial. The BEYOND Phase is where the students will apply the skills and im-
portant lessons learned in the context of their respective lives. This instructional
material students are expected to learn from the different perspectives in which
the life of Rizal is taught and at the same time make Rizal as a figure who is relat-
able and inspirational than someone who is a highly learned historical figure, de-
tached from our day to day lives.
It is also hoped that will also aide learners to become more patriotic, nationalistic,
responsible citizens of the state capable of responding to the needs of the society
in a manner that benefits all.
