Group 1. Preserving the Magic

Instruction:
To preserve the magical essence of the
rainbow, do the following steps:
 re-read the parable. Ask the group
members to share their knowledge
about the theme of the story.
 On a cartolina, draw a symbol that
best presents the message of the
text.
 February 19,2019

 Expound the message of the story

during the group presentation.
Discuss how the rainbow colors
became stronger and tougher.

Group 2. Checking Out Characters

Instruction:
Think about the colors’ personality as
revealed by their words and reactions at the
beginning of the story. Remember the two
kinds of characters: Round character
(dynamic) and Flat character (static).
Decide who among the characters is round
or flat. Cite lines or characters’ descriptions
from the selection that proves your
contention.

Group 3. Pointing Out Qualities

Instruction:
Recall the qualities of the colors. Evaluate
their characteristics and decide what word
best describes each of them.
Use the rainbow chart as your visual aid.
On the left side of the rainbow, write a one-
word description for each item.
Keep in mind that the colors of the rainbow
are arranged this way: Red, Orange,
Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
Relate those characteristics to yourself. On
the right side of the rainbow, explain how
rainbow’s qualities are related to you. Share
your answers with the class.

Group 4. Constructing a Slogan

Instruction:
Reflecting on the parable’s message,
construct three slogans that will best
encourage the humanity to:
 Not to lose hope in times of
hardship and challenges.
 Cooperate and collaborate in order
to achieve better outcomes.
 Accept inevitable changes and use
them for self-development. Your
slogan will be graded according to

its Creativity, Word choice, Content

and Rhyme.

Group 5. Presenting a Skit

Perform a short skit re-enacting the
conversations in the parable. Consider the
following reminders:
 Imagine you are a group of friends
with different qualities (like the
rainbow colors). Identify each of
your differences (specially your
strengths).
 Each of you must re-enact the
dialogue; but you have the leeway
to change the lines in the text.
 Express your qualities with pride
and honor; encourage others to
believe that you share the most
important contribution in the group.
 Assign someone as a mediator who
will intercede and help the group
solve the arguments. Just like the
rain in the parable, let the mediator
emphasize the need to cooperate in
the community.
 Through the mediator, explain how
each of your friends can work
cooperatively and responsibly in
today’s global village.

Group 6. Creating a rainbow Poster

Instruction:
Using the quotation “If nothing ever
changed, there’d be no butterflies.” As your
guide, create a rainbow poster that will
show the significant qualities you have or
you wish to have.
On each part of the rainbow, write the
characteristics that you think will help you
broaden your horizon.
Your poster will be graded according to its
Size, Focus, Idea/Creativity and
Neatness/Presentability.
