JESUS: From Eternity…to Eternity provides the students with the necessary materials to understand and eventually live the teachings inscribed in the sacred books of the New Testament. This book offers the students what they need to understand about God’s plan here on earth as revealed in the Sacred Scriptures. The lessons are Bible-based for both the teacher and the students to obtain knowledge about their faith as prescribed in the Holy Book. Thus, the book is “apologetic” in nature where the Catholic faith is presented with the needed biblical passages to refute and eventually to clear out the doubts brought forth by the fundamentalists. Furthermore, the lessons are equipped with the following:
• • (a) content standard and performance standard;
  • (b) suggested methodology to make the discussion more effective;
  • (c) desired values to be implanted;
  • (d) formative and summative assessments; and
  • (e) dogmas and doctrines to be imparted, including suggested assignments (mostly of reflections and family activities) to deepen the acquisition of knowledge.

Grammar Essentials Creative Nonfiction intends to develop in students skills in reading and writing creatively that will help them to become imaginative readers and writers. The lesson components are adopted from 21st century operational words for two reasons: one, to promote blended learning by encouraging students to utilize online sources; and two, to fascinate them with how modern ideas are integrated to day-to-day life.

Science in Today’s World: Earth and Life Science introduces foundational knowledge on Earth science and biology. It has a compilation of different topics that deal with understanding Earth, its neighboring planets, and the universe. It includes scientific explanations and ways of mitigating and adapting with the natural phenomena such as typhoons and earthquakes. The book also covers life processes which include the topics on how life on Earth began, bioenergetics, reproduction and survival of plants and animals, evolution, and interaction and interdependence in the environment. Essential features are added to engage students into an active learning process. Moreover, well-crafted assessment tools are included to provide meaningful and enriched learning experiences.
