Task 9: CROSS OVER
Task 9.1 Think back of how Rudyard Kipling in his poem “If” inspired us in
leading a life with purpose (Quarter 1 Lesson 8). Imagine that Roger in “Thank you,
Ma’am” and Rudyard Kipling meet. If the two spoke about how to work well with others,
what could be the topic of their conversation? Now, create a dialogue between Rudyard
Kipling and Roger about helping other people no matter what the consequences are.
