Stage 2: ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE

Performance Tasks:“Doing One’s Share Actively in Times of Family Crisis”

Students will do a roleplay of a family scenario where it is experiencing great family home and financial crises.
Students are going to be divided into 4 groups with equal number of members but should be a minimum of ten only.
Each member has to play a role as a member of this big family either as a parent, eldest, middle born, or youngest
child. None is excused in actively partaking in the shared roles to overcome the problem. Costumes, props, visual
aid (enlarged activity plan, family budget,etc.) dialoguing, directorship on sequence of events should be
thoroughly planned and prepared prior to date of presentation and execution. A hand-out of the rationale,
mechanics and GRASPS of this performance based assessment has to be distributed ideally on the 1st day of the
meeting after the KWL.

Goal: For the whole family to overcome the crisis being experienced. The challenge is to generate income for the family’s
needs—preserve the well managed home and family finances by stretching out available resources and finding ways of
sustaining savings for planned future investments and for all the children to continue with their studies.

Role: Father who lost his job because of his disability due to a major car accident—blinded and legs amputated.
Mother who is a plain housewife doing all the household chores but who has anyway earned a college degree.
Eldest brother who is working as an accountant in a bank.
2nd child is in 4th year, graduating student
3rd child who is in his/her 2nd year in college
May be increased or decreased into 1 only, but

2 younger children in gradeshool significant and highly contributing member in the
2nd to the youngest who is still in pre-school who is brought and picked up to school daily by either father during special
school days and in times when school service is faced with vehicular breakdown or road problem
Youngest child still a toddler, 16 months old
1 household help who has to stay with the family considering their situation

Audience: (classmate who are going to witness group’s presentation how they deal with the problem) Friends and relatives who
