This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
Learning Competency:
The learner identifies the theatrical forms celebrated all over the country throughout the year.
Filipinos are known around the world to be hospitable and friendly, with many possessing a strong sense of humor and lightheartedness despite numerous
challenges.
Within the context of artistic performances, Filipinos have a knack for maintaining a convincing appeal of being in character. No matter what a performer’s personal dealings may be, the show must go on.
Our country’s artistic forms of expression play a vital role in preserving our cultural roots. Supernatural events and even historical ones are often translated into an art form in order to these to be passed on to the next generation as reminders of why a certain place is so significant. One such example of these art forms would be the festivals which are celebrated all across the country in commemoration of religious and cultural themes. These have been discussed in the previous modules and, hopefully, you were able to familiarize yourself with the most popular ones and even research others after that. Perhaps one day you might even get to partake in these and cross them off your travel/bucket list, one by one.
If you had enjoyed reading about religious and non- religious festivals, this module is bound to expose you even further to more interesting art forms which our country takes pride in. Are you ready now? Let’s go then!
