• Pre-ASSESSMENT
Directions: Set A. Read the given passages below, and answer respectively
the questions that follow. Encircle the letter of your answer.
Once, my Lolo had a carabao and a cow. They are both Lolo’s buddy
in the farm. The carabao was bigger but the cow worked just as hard as the
carabao. One day, the carabao cried, “It is just too hot to work all day!”
“Let’s go swimming, would you?” asked the cow. “It will cool you off.” The
carabao happily agreed. They went off without my Lolo’s consent. Before
swimming, they hung their skins on a tree branch. But it wasn’t long till Lolo
went looking for them. Upon seeing, they rushed to put on their skins. Rushing
that fast, the carabao had worn the cow’s skin and the cow had worn the
carabao’s skin. From then on, cows have sagging skin while carabaos have
tight skin.

Words of the Author…
Leadership brings out the best of me. I become the best version of
myself, leading by example. Having appointed as a School Principal - July 2018,
I stand not to strive to make a living, but aspire to make a difference: my living
framework I tried to adopt in the learning community where my feet stand.
But I see life as more challenging ahead when challenges go tougher too.
I left classrooms because I believe, leading a school is a better avenue of my
desires. The prime responsibility of all school leaders is to put learning at the
centre of everything: student learning first, then everyone else’s learning in
support of it, will follow. “By loving our learners more than their abilities, we
show to our learners that they are more than the sum of their
accomplishments.”
I was strong, I am… and I will be strong because every time I see the
learners in school, especially the struggling ones, I am certain their future is
dependent to how they are taught, today.
