The rest of the population is made up mostly of smaller Christian denominations and Buddhist. The background of the people is Indonesian and Malay. There are Chinese and Spanish elements as well.

The history of American rule and contact with merchants and traders culminated in a unique blend of East and West, both in the appearance and culture of the people of the Filipinos, or people of the Philippines. Task 4. Loud and Clear! Enhance your pronunciation of a few critical vowel and consonant sounds based on some parts of the article. You will be guided by your teacher. East meets West 4.

Each regional group is recognizable by distinct traits and dialects — the sturdy and frugal llocanos of the north, the industrious Tagalogs of the central plains, the carefree Visayans from the central islands and the colorful tribesmen and religious Moslems of Mindanao. Some 80 percent of the population is Catholic, Spain's lasting legacy. The history of American rule and contact with merchants and traders culminated in a unique blend of East and West, both in the appearance and culture of the people of the Filipinos.

Eugenio 1 According to Maranaw folklore, this world was created by a great Being. It is not known, however, who exactly is this great Being. Or how many days it took him to create this world. The earth has also seven layers. Each layer is inhabited by a different kind of being.

The uppermost layer, for example, is the place we are inhabiting. The second layer is being inhabited by dwarfs. These dwarfs are short, plump, and long-haired. They are locally known as Karibanga. The Karibanga are said to possess magical powers. They are usually invisible to the human eye. The third layer of the earth which is found under the sea or lake is inhabited by nymphs. These nymphs also possess certain magical powers.

It is stated in the story of Rajah Indarapatra that he met and fell in love with the princess- nymph with whom he had a child. Each layer has a door which is guarded day and night by huge mythical birds called garoda. The seventh layer of the sky is the seat of heaven which is also divided into seven layers. Every layer in the sky is inhabited by angels. Maranaws believe that angels do not need food.

They all possess wings with which they fly. On each leaf of the tree-of-life is written the name of every person living on earth. As soon as a leaf ripens or dries and falls, the person whose name it carries also dies.

This particular section of heaven is closely guarded by a monster with a thousand eyes, named Walo. Walo, in addition to his thousand eyes, has also eight hairy heads.

Word Webs Attach as many words you can find in the selection which you could associate with each idea featured in each box. Use a whole sheet of paper for your webs. Write your answer on a one-whole sheet of paper. Everything has its own place in heaven or on earth. Even monsters have a place in heaven.

The nymphs, unlike the Karibanga, have magical powers. The number seven is a significant detail in the narrative. Angels can fly. The heaven in the selection accommodates saints and sinners. There is a reward for good people in heaven. The narrative is close to the accounts of other stories of origin of the world. Death as explained in the narrative is a natural occurrence. The Maranaw story of the origin of the world is unique.

Observe the appropriate stress and intonation. In the beginning there was no heaven or earth. The breeze was forever cool. After so many years, they got married. Immediately after his return from the trip, he called this act to instantly her attention. The whole place suddenly became cold and desolate.

Then from the depth of this formless void, there appeared beyond two gods. Their abode was in the highest realm of the eternal space. She sits down by a pool near their doorstep. He was sailing across the regions of the clouds. She might be somewhere in the regions above. Everything was shapeless and formless—the earth, the sky, the sea, and the air were almost all mixed up.

Just where the two deities came from it was not known. However, it is related that Tungkung Langit fell in love with Alunsina and, after so many years of courtship, they got married and had their abode in the highest realm of the eternal space where the water was constantly warm and the breeze was forever cool. It was in this place where order and regularity first took place. He assumed responsibility for the regular cosmic movement. On the other hand, Alunsina was a lazy, jealous, and selfish goddess whose only work was to sit by the window of their heavenly home, and amuse herself with her pointless thoughts.

Sometimes, she would go down from the house, sit down by a pool near their doorstep and comb her long, jet-black hair all day long. The jealous Alunsina, however, sent the sea breeze to spy on Tungkung Langit. This made the latter very angry upon knowing about it. This reproach was resented by Alunsina, and a quarrel between them followed. In this rage, he divested his wife of powers and drove her away.

No one knew where Alunsina went; she merely disappeared. He realized what he had done. Somehow, it was too late even to be sorry about the whole matter. In the morning, when he woke up he would find himself alone and in the afternoon when he came home, he would feel the same loneliness creeping deep in his heart because there was no one to meet him at the doorstep or soothe the aching muscles of his arms.

He could not find Alunsina, try hard as he would. And so, in his desperation, he decided to do something in order to forget his sorrows. For months and months he thought. His mind seemed pointless, his heart, weary, and sick. But he must have to do something about his loneliness. He would make a big basin of water below the sky so that he can see the image of his wife, if she were just somewhere in the regions above. And lo! The sea appeared. However, Alunsina was never seen.

So he came down to the Middleworld and created the land; then he planted this with grasses, trees, and flowers. However, despite all these Alunsina did not come back. Sometimes, he would cry out of his pent-up emotions and his tears would fall down upon the earth. Incidentally, when it thunders hard, the old folks also say that it is Tungkung Langit sobbing, calling for his beloved Alunsina to come back — entreating her so hard that his voice thunders across the fields and countryside. Character Study Construct a Venn diagram similar to the one below on a half sheet of paper.

Compare and contrast Tungkung Langit and Alunsina. Determine whether each statement is true T or false F. Beside your answer, write the paragraph number to support your answer. Write your answer on a one fourth sheet of paper. Tungkung Langit and Alunsina lived in a heavenly paradise.

There was no reason for Alunsina to be jealous. Only Alunsina should be blamed for the loneliness of Tungkung Langit. The world was created due to the hopelessness of Tungkung Langit. How the World was Created is a myth. The story is not associated with some real experiences in Panay. The elders in Panay no longer speak of their story of creation. The story speaks more of trust between a couple than of compromise. What if? Copy the score sheet below on a half sheet of paper.

Use the rating scale to indicate your evaluation of the alternative endings that will be presented. Which is which? Copy the chart on the next page on a half sheet of paper in order to compare and contrast the two texts that follow. The magical breeze whispered to the unhappy Tungkung Langit that Alunsina grew old and died of sorrow somewhere in the east.

This made Tungkung Langit mournful. As the sun rises in the east, the shadow of the mountain reminds Tungkung Langit of his dear Alunsina. And as the shadow fades away at nightfall, Tungkung Langit waters the earth with his tears. Text B Geologists observe that many of our mountains and mountain ranges seem to resemble human-like forms. However, they argue that these earth formations are the result of various interrelated geological processes such as earthquakes, rock formations, and even volcanic eruptions.

They cited several conclusive research that detail the formation of such natural wonders. They also conducted experiments that show how bodies of water have contributed to rock formation worldwide. In the years to come, scientists expect to generate more data to explain such phenomena.

The Right Source Use three different information search structures to find a more focused information source on the following topics. Use a whole sheet of paper for your complete answers.

Study the consistency of tense in the paragraphs on the following page. On a half sheet of paper, write C if the sentence correctly observes rules on tense consistency. If it does not, rewrite the sentence and box the verb, the form of which must show its correct tense. Paragraph 1 1 The wide island of Panay was originally inhabited by Negritos or locally called 2 Ati tribe.

Their disappearance is due to an innocent agreement they made with the sultan of Borneo back in to give up their land in exchange of a hat and gold 3 necklace. Early in the 13th century, Marikudo, a native chieftain, sold the coastal shores and lowlands to 10 Bornean Datus who escapes from the repression of Sri 4 Vishayan Empire. One of them named Paiburong received the area Irong-Irong, which is now called Iloilo City, meaning nose-like, as its wide river mouth in the narrow 5 Guimaras Strait appears like a snout.

The island lived peacefully until the arrival of Juan Miguel de Legazpi in that discovered and developed more towns. Aside from the general names given to the people of the Visayan region, there are mountain people who lived in the interior 4 mountains of Panay and Negros. In Panay, they were generally referred to as Bukidnon literally, "from the mountains" or Sulod literally, "inside" or "interior". A bolo and a wooden dibble were all they use for cutting trees and 8 for boring holes to drop rice or corn seeds and legumes into.

Most houses have 9 bangkaw spear as hunting tool. Hunting greatly decreased in the s with the gradual disappearance of forests, but kaingin still remained to be the primary form of farming since the interior mountain are rugged and they have not found the appropriate technology to harness water.

A Polished Finish Tense consistency is important in writing news reports. On a whole sheet of paper, revise the following news report so that rules on tense consistency are observed.

Remember what the words mean, because they appear in the story you are about to read.

Floating on this sea was a thing resembling a ball. This was the abode of God the Most High. When he wanted to bring out his creations, the ball split; one half of it rose and became heaven with seven levels and the lower half remained and became the earth with seven levels.

Now the sea on which the ball was floating was called Baharun Nur [Bahar, great waters, mighty rivers; Nur, light], meaning, this was the ancestor of all which floated on it. Symbolically, the part which was lifted up was the father, and the grandfather was the sea on which it floated. Now at the same time of the splitting of the ball, and as God willed it, all men and all the creatures on earth have already been believed as being in it. I was surprised to see this book and I didn't hesitate to request it from NetGalley.

The Maasai are so private, they insist on continuing their culture despite everything and everyone. I love that about them. I focused on their numbering system, which is based on the livestock.

I will never forget hearing the pounding in our ceiling and running up to the guy's hall to see w I was surprised to see this book and I didn't hesitate to request it from NetGalley. I will never forget hearing the pounding in our ceiling and running up to the guy's hall to see what was going on and finding our Maasai friend showing his roomates how to do the Maasai leap.

I read this book with a specific picture of the their culture in my head from our friend's stories. Many of the things in the book resonated true with me.

A family took the author in and showed her a lot of their life. Some of the book is obviously "nice" keeping it kid-friendly. There is mention of cow dung used in the mud for the huts, but it is discreet compared to what I had heard, which is good. She mentions drinking blood, but only in the Author's Note at the back. The danger of the wild African landscape is also downplayed.

The women travel in groups and the men are skilled with their spears, but there are only hints at running into lions often. So, kids have a great introduction into this unique culture while adults are given more. What I enjoyed the most is the details in the day to day life. The author captured things my friend didn't share, like how big their homes are, how big the community, just how free their livestock is to forage.

The pictures show them creating bracelets and playing games and how the men stay together in a group. The author captured the every-day life. She also highlighted how their environment has shrunk and their way of life is threatened and what they are doing to adapt.

The stories that are their education have passed on a strong culture generation after generation. They continue to be fiercely their own.

I think there is a lot more that isn't shared, but this book is still a great peak into the Maasai way of life. The Maasai are a group of semi-nomadic people who live in Kenya and Tanzania. In the past they traveled thousands of miles with their herds, following rain and growing seasons and seeking out new pastures for their animals. They do not believe in land ownership.

Their way of life has had to change with modern times, however. Other people and practices have required them to reduce their grazing territory and herds and adopt new ideas and traditions small-scale sustainable farming, tourism, etc. While the Maasai are embracing these changes, they wonder what the future will bring. Jan Reynolds introduces the Maasai people and their culture in this accessible book. Readers will begin to learn about the Maasai through the activities of a family with who Reynolds became close.

Bright photographs and smiling Maasai are welcoming and add interest. A positive look at how the Maasai are successfully maintaining their culture and beliefs as they adapt to changes in their environment. Kids interested in other cultures will enjoy this book. Sep 22, Bookishrealm rated it liked it Shelves: books-read-in , children , children-non-fiction. There are several Maasai proverbs used throughout the book.

What do you think each proverb means, especially in relation to the information in the section of the book that follows it? Notice the way Only the Mountains begins and ends. How does the author get your attention? How does she tie up all the information at the end of the book?

Do you think the author is trying to send a message through this book? If so, what is it? Why do you think that message is important to her? Literature Circles If you use literature circles during reading time, students might find the following suggestions helpful in focusing on the different roles of the group members. The Questioner might use questions similar to the ones in the Discussion Question section of this guide.

The Illustrator might create a poster or bulletin board of spring and summer flowers, especially purple ones. The Connector might find other stories to share with the group in which a grandparent passes away, and make connections among the stories focusing on how each child experiences this event. The Investigator might look for information about what causes changes in plants and flowers as the seasons and temperature change in different parts of the country.

Reader's Response Use the following questions and writing activities to help students practice active reading and personalize their responses to the book.

You may also want to set aside time for students to share and discuss their written work, if they wish to. Based on information in the book, how is your life similar to that of a Maasai child? How is your life different? Would you like to have made the trip with them? Choose one word that you think best describes Maasai culture.

Why did you choose this word? Provide evidence from the book to support your choice of the word. Imagine that you are giving a talk to the class about climate change in Africa.

Using information from the book, write two ideas you would present in your speech. Prepare a list of questions that you would ask Noonkuta if you had the opportunity to interview her. Only the Mountain Do Not Move is a photo-essay, a story illustrated with photographs instead of art.

Using a favorite photograph that illustrates an activity in which your family, school, or community has participated, write a short photo-essay of your own. You may also wish to create a proverb to go along with your text. Have each student write three questions about the story.

Then let students pair up and discuss the answers to the questions. Have students work in pairs to retell either the plot of the story or key details. Then ask students to write a short summary, synopsis, or opinion about what they have read. Have students give a short talk about what they admire about a character or central figure in the story. Interdisciplinary Activities Use some of the following activities to help students integrate their reading experiences with other curriculum areas.

Social Studies If students have experience reading physical maps, have them locate the Maasai territory as indicated on page 3 of the book on a physical map of Africa. Ask students to note the information they find on the map. By looking at maps for the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes worldwide Figures 1. Generally, divergent plate boundaries are characterized by shallow earthquakes and some volcanism.

Convergent boundaries have a range of earthquake depths from shallow to deep, and many have volcanoes as a result of subduction. Subduction occurs in convergent boundaries where the denser, oceanic plate descends into the mantle beneath the overriding plate.

Convergent boundaries also tend to produce linear and curved mountain belts. Transform boundaries typically have shallow earthquakes and no volcanoes. Each type of plate boundary has distinct earthquake and volcanic patterns.

Using observational and critical thinking skills, answer the following questions:. Earthquake locations can tell you more about an area than what type of plate boundary is there.

For example, in subduction zones, most earthquakes occur along the boundary between the subducting slab and the overriding slab. The angle of subduction is not always constant and can vary from one boundary to the next and can even vary along the same boundary. When a plate subducts at a low angle, it is called flat-slab subduction. The effects of flat-slab subduction are many, including shallower earthquakes, uplifting of mountains, and the location and activity of volcanoes. Tables 1.

The location data are the distance each earthquake was from the trench and how deep within the Earth it was. Geologists can observe most of the processes occurring at plate tectonic boundaries today earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, etc.

However, understanding the plate tectonic activity of the geologic past is more difficult because the events have already happened. Hence, geologists use processes that occur in the present to interpret processes that occurred in the past. This is known as uniformitarianism. One way geologists can interpret ancient plate tectonic activity is to look at the topography of an area.

Topography is the study of shapes and features of the land surface. When studying features on the seafloor, the topography is instead referred to as bathymetry because this data is referencing how deep a feature is. Below are five topographic profiles showing different plate boundary configurations. A topographic profile is a graph that shows elevation changes as you walk from one point on the Earth to another. This overemphasizes the changes in topography. In all of these profiles, the 0 value on the vertical axis is at sea level.

Geologists can use topography to get a broad sense of the tectonic history of an area. Generally speaking, plate tectonic activity tends to produce elevation changes at or near the plate boundary, especially in convergent settings. The collision of two plates leads to suturing ; the two plates become one when the collision ends. Evidence of these ancient boundaries is most commonly in the form of linear mountain belts that are not currently near a plate tectonic boundary.

For example, an eroded, linear mountain belt in the middle of a continent would indicate that area was part of a convergent boundary deep in the geologic past and likely a continent-continent collision.

The Ural Mountains in Russia fit this description Figure 1. They formed during an orogeny to million years ago and now serve as the boundary between Europe and Asia. When most people think about tectonic plate boundaries, they often visualize parallel, symmetric lines separating the plates. This is not always the case in the real world as many plate boundaries are curved or segmented; this is because Earth is a sphere. Think about this: if you had a ball and tried to wrap it with a flat sheet of paper, would the paper wrap around it perfectly smooth?

The answer is no; the paper will want to fold in some places and tear in other places. The tectonic plates behave similarly to the paper. Of course, other factors affect the shape of a boundary. Evidence of these plate boundaries is also contained in the topography of continents because not all mountain belts are straight lines.

This area is not near an active plate tectonic boundary today; the closest boundary is in the Gulf of Mexico. However, there is evidence in this topography to indicate it was part of a plate tectonic boundary at least twice in the geologic past.
