and combining the MELCs? Explain each.
 EARNING DELIVERY MODALITY

1. Form a group of four members within your LAC, preferably with

Activity fellow teachers in your respective learning area.
2 2. Using the curriculum guide and a list of the MELCs, choose
MELCs in the first quarter and unpack these into learning
objectives.
3. Each team will present their unpacked learning objectives.
Discussion and processing will follow each presentation.
Suggestions and insights from each group will be considered in
enhancing the learning objectives.

Repeat the above process but instead of unpacking, each team will now
combine at least two MELCs of their choice. Group deliberation will be
observed in order to arrive at a consensus. Discuss and jot down the
synthesis of the presentations in your Study Notebook.
