Task 4. Hurrah for Manila Bay!
You have been learning much about Manila Bay, and you have been writing
several creative descriptions about it too. Form a group and use the descriptions you
have in composing a ‗hurrah chant‘ that will promote Manila Bay. Play with repetitions,
rhymes, and spell-outs (e.g. Give me an M-A-N-I-L-A, go Manila!). Your chant must
have at least 2 stanzas with 4-7 lines each. Practice reciting this chant with the
appropriate energy and gestures. You can identify lines that could be chanted as a
group or by selected individuals in the group. Be ready to present your work to the
class.
Task 5. Beauty + History
Recall insights you have gained in the past discussions. Create a venn diagram
that will present your ideas about the three topics. Consider carefully the overlap that
between or among the circles in your diagram. Write your insights about beauty, history,
and Manila Bay in the circles that represent them. (The model below is just an
example.) Participate in a discussion led by your teacher.
