Please read: local context. This edition is contextualized for Negros Occidental (Western Visayas). The foods in the story, slides, picture cards and quiz are Negros and Iloilo foods (KBL, piaya, laswa, chicken inasal, cansi, napoleones), and the mother-tongue word suggestions are in Hiligaynon. If you teach in another region, the lesson design still works, but you will need to replace these foods (photos, story lines and quiz names) with the local foods of your own province. All files are editable in Word and PowerPoint.
