sentences only.
1. The juvenile who commits a crime also suffers effects that he or she is probably unable to predict. He
or she may lose his or her freedom while being incarcerated or placed on probation. The juvenile may
lose ground academically as well. There is a correlation between juvenile delinquency and drug use, gang
involvement, alcohol abuse, and sexual behavior. All these issues challenge communities by making
neighborhoods unsafe and costing large amounts of public money to be spent on law enforcement and
school safety. Young people who commit serious crimes may believe that there is no future for them
outside of a life of crime. Whatever the motive, juvenile delinquency affects too many Filipino
individuals, families and communities. It is a serious problem that challenges the efforts of government
agencies, politicians, educators, faith communities and nonprofit organizations alike.
2. People use Facebook for their personal use to communicate with their friends and relatives. For
example, if there are important events to celebrate, a Facebook user can just send a personal message,
post an invitation on his/her timeline, or create an event and invite friends. Facebook is also extensively
used to interact with other people. Reconnecting with childhood friends and former colleagues is also
made easy: a user just needs to type the name of the person in the search tab and then add that person as
friend. Facebook is also used for academic purposes. It has several features that can be used for teaching.
Undoubtedly, Facebook is a viable tool for personal and academic success. Not only does it enhance and
provide positive influence in classroom practices, it also helps individuals collaborate, communicate and
reconnect.

DIRECTIONS: Explain the following in three to five (3-5) sentences:

1. The Schema Theory and its relation to Metacognitive Reading;


2. The significance of knowing the different reading strategies in your studies as Senior High School
