José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896, Bagumbayan ), was a Filipino polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era.

8. He is considered a national hero of the Philippines, and the anniversary of Rizal's death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called Rizal Day. Rizal's 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution .  The seventh of eleven children born to a wealthy family in the town of Calamba , Laguna, Rizal attended the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, earning a Bachelor of Arts.

9. He enrolled in Medicine and Philosophy and Letters at the University of Santo Tomas and then traveled alone to Madrid, Spain, where he continued his studies at the Universidad Central de Madrid, earning the degree of Licentiate in Medicine. He attended the University of Paris and earned a second doctorate at the University of Heidelberg. Rizal was a polyglot conversant in at least ten languages.

10. He was a prolific poet, essayist, diarist, correspondent, and novelist whose most famous works were his two novels, Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.These are social commentaries on the Philippines that formed the nucleus of literature that inspired dissent among peaceful reformists and spurred the militancy of armed revolutionaries against the Spanish colonial authorities. 

11. As a political figure, Jose Rizal was the founder of La Liga Filipina, a civic organization that subsequently gave birth to the Katipunan led by Andrés Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo. He was a proponent of institutional reforms by peaceful means rather than by violent revolution. The general consensus among Rizal scholars, however, attributed his martyred death as the catalyst that precipitated the Philippine Revolution.

41. DAY 4

42. Read and Learn A singular subject demands a singular verb ; a plural subject demands a plural verb. That is the simple principle behind subject-verb agreement. Remember that singular verbs usually end in s, but plural verbs usually do not .

(cups is closer, so verb is plural )

The committee (debates, debate) these questions carefully. 10. The committee (leads, lead) very different lives in private .

48. REMEMBER! CAUSE AND EFFECT   A  cause  is WHY something happens.      An  effect  is WHAT happens.  As you read, be a detective.  Look for clue words, such as if, then, because, since, and  so.Clue words can sometimes signal causes and effects.  

49. Try and Learn On the following sentences, box the cause and underline the effect . 1. I got a tummy ache when I ate too much ice cream. 2. Anne had cake for dessert because it was her birthday. 3. Thomas was feeling sleepy because he stayed up late doing his homework. 4. Dee was hungry, so her mother made her a cheese sandwich. 5.

Leah wasn't watching where she was walking and she stepped in a puddle. 9. Cole wasn't feeling well, so he stayed home from school. 10. Jackson didn't go to school because it was Saturday

51. REMEMBER! The rule on subject-verb agreement states that a singular subject takes a singular verb (s form) while a plural subject takes a plural verb (base form). Cause and effect statements are two related statements. One statement, the cause, tells us the reason on an event which resulted to the next statement, the effect, giving us the result of the action.

52. REMEMBER! You can usually find sentences built this way by key words and phrases they use: so, since, as a result of, because, therefore. It’s also important to note that the cause is usually written before the effect is, but there are rare cases when the effect will be written first. You should realize, however, that no matter what order you present cause and effect in with your sentences, you cannot have an effect happen before a cause.
