This document discusses theme-based authentic performance and assessment. It outlines a 5-step process for carrying out theme-based teaching and learning: 1) review learning competencies, 2) review module content, 3) find commonalities among content and tasks, 4) identify where content and tasks can be experienced in real life, and 5) shortlist possible thematic experiences. The document emphasizes planning carefully for theme-based approaches, considering all students' abilities and avoiding overly simple activities.
