[1214-1215] SHS INQUIRIES, INVESTIGATIONS AND IMMERSION ENHANCEMENT SEMINAR

Last December 14-15, 2017, we were asked to attend a seminar about one of the subjects in Senior High School year level 12 which is Inquiries, Investigations, and Immersion. The seminar's objective is to enhance the knowledge of the teachers handling the subject of I.I.I. and clarify some information about Thesis making process.

It's a two-day seminar headed by Ms. Alyn Mendoza, Chief Education Supervisor, CID from the Department of Education-Division of Mandaluyong. She talked about III as a subject, how we should deal with the students taking it, how we should check their work, and the time we are supposed to give for it. She also asked the teachers from the City of Mandaluyong Science High School (CMSHS) and Mataas na Paaralang Neptali A. Gonzales (MPNAG) to talk about different topics that would help us in teaching III.

One of the speakers look very familiar to me, but I couldn't quite remember where I met him. It is only after the culminating Activity that I finally realized that I met him during the Division Spelling Bee Contest for Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 when he acted as the Quiz Master. Haha.
