Lesson Notes
ILAYA - IGOROT
Peopling through Migration
The class should have discussed Austronesian migration prior to the lesson. The teacher must familiarize students with the geography of Central Cordillera. Discussion may then proceed with the theories regarding the peopling of the Central Cordillera. Module "Layers of Cordillera Identity" (Chapter 2, Lesson 1) may be directly used in class. Pericolonialism (Acabado, et. al.) as an area of study may be introduced as well as the recent studies related to the dating of the terraces.
Classifying the People
The history and layers of classification (see chapter 2, lesson 2) should be discussed to make ourselves conscious, and hopefully liberate us and the curriculum, of the colonial biases loaded in the use of the term.

Particularization
When we discuss the IGOROTS, the discussion should be particularized to the distinct groups clustered under. The use of (ethnic) a map is encouraged to aid discussion for students to visualize in space the groups being tackled.
