Poem:
The Sampaguita
By: Natividad Marquez
Little sampaguita
With the wondering eye,
Did a tiny fairy
Drop you where you lie?
In the witching hour
Of the tropic night,
Did a careless moonbeam
Leave you in its flight?

Evaluation
Strategy: Chain technique
Title: Adjective Chain
I will flash a noun written on a piece of paper then the students will give adjectives properly describing it
together with its kind. One word will be flashed for each line consisting of five students. The rest of the
students in the line will give other adjectives describing the noun with its kind briskly one after the other.
The adjective should not be repeated but the kind of noun may be repeated only once for the student to
have ten points. Five points for the adjectives, five points for its kind. And if all of the student in the line
were able to give their answers properly, each of them will get another 10 points for a total of 20 points.
Example:
tree

Student 1: tall tree

Student 2: two trees
Student 3: Narra tree
Student 4: leafy tree
Student 5: Avocado tree
