Dear all,

I. I would like to reiterate my expectations for the Portfolio Entry 1: geography of my self:

– a reflection paper with visual/graphic representation (drawing, pictures, etc.)

-in your reflection paper and its visual representation, use the ideas from our lessons on viewpoints and views and geography to discuss an aspect or the “story” of your life.  For example: you can apply the idea of varying levels of detail in terms of time and space in discussing the most important events of your life so far. You can also use the concept of periodization by timelining the “periods” of your recent years. Or, you can use maps of different orientations to talk about your life, dreams, or personality. Another example is drawing a “cyclical” representation of your life (like the dynastic cycle) applying the contrast between cyclical and linear time framework. You can refer to the ppt on the lesson on geography to check which concepts you can apply.

II. Now during this break, note that I did not give you any homework because I would like you to use the time for the Portfolio Entry and also for starting with your MAKABAYAN Project.  However, please be reminded that for next week, we’ll push through with the reportings. For POTASSIUM, all four groups will report on the first meeting (MOnday). Also, kindly read the handout on PREHISTORY in advance and answer the guide questions (for your own reference when we’re already discussing its content).
