Story book writing for prelim exams


9.1 All works submitted in the PCK 104 subject shall be unpublished and have not been
entered in other subjects.
9.2 All entries shall not reflect the names of author, illustrator, layout artist, school, or
any other identifiers.
9.3 Stories must be original. Adaptation of local stories may be done with respect,
sensibility, and with consideration of indigenous and local traditions.
9.4 Stories must be written in Filipino. The choice of the Filipino language is limited to
logistical considerations, and shall not reflect the subjects bias toward the said
language. Judging stories written in languages other than Filipino requires a set of
judges who are well-versed in submitted languages. Furthermore, all harvested stories
will be subjected to post-competition activities, which include, among others, the
contextualization of stories and rendering to diglot or bilingual versions of these stories.
9.5 Stories must be based on one or a combination of most essential learning
competencies (MELCs) in any learning area.

understanding of local concepts. This set of themes and motifs supports the official
tagline of #KuwentoNgBayanKo.
9.7 Stories and illustrations shall adhere to the provisions of the DepEd Social Content
Guidelines (see Enclosure 6).
9.8 There shall be no accompanying processing questions and supplementary activities
in the storybook.
9.9 For styling and orthographic purposes, it is recommended to follow the latest version
of the Ortograpiyang Pambansa published by the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino. For
other styling concerns not addressed by the said publication, it is recommended to
follow the Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition. 9.10 The following are the
specifications for manuscript submission:
9.10.1 Number of words for Grades 1, 2, and 3 must not exceed 2,000.

space, size 12.
