This document contains a module for a Physical Education class on Philippine folk dance. It begins by asking students questions about folk dance and its importance. It then defines folk dance as the oldest and earliest form of communication through dance that evolved naturally from everyday activities and traditions. The module goes on to explore the five major classifications of Philippine folk dance: Cordillera, Spanish-influenced, Muslim, tribal, and rural dances. It provides examples of dances that fall under each classification and asks students to name additional dances. Later activities require students to discuss foreign influences on Filipino culture and values reflected in folk dances, and to name famous dances for each classification. The module concludes by asking students to create a scrapbook documenting different Philippine festival dances
