ACTIVITY 2: Unleash Me!

KRA 1. OBJECTIVE 1 INDICATOR 1: Applied knowledge of content within and across

curriculum teaching areas.

The topic was applied in English subject, since that all claims in legal writing and in
a debate should be supported by evidences, examples, statistics, personal experiences,
personal anecdotes, and quotations by the well-known persons to prove and support your
claim.

The topic is related to your Araling Panlipunan subject wherein, you were taught
about the political system where people have the right to run for any government positions

KRA 3. OBJECTIVE 9 INDICATOR 8: Designed, adapted and implemented teaching

strategies that are responsive to learners with disabilities, giftedness and talents

This activity is presented to cater the needs of every student’s uniqueness to further
enhance their learning.

KRA 4. OBJECTIVE 16: Applied a personal philosophy of teaching that is learner-centered

I see to it that the teaching and learning philosophy such as existentialism which focuses
on the student's freedom to choose will help the retention of learning since that they follow their
own free-will.

Directions: Analyze the video clip presented and remember the three
learning principles while watching. “Listen, Note and Learn.”
 To those students who are visual learners the video presentation wherein pictures and
caricatures will be shown which allows them for more efficient processing and memory
recall. Visual stimulation grabs students' attention.
 To the Reading and writing learners are extremely comfortable with the written word.
Feel free to consume information by reading texts to fully the given absorb information.
 To those students who are fond in listening or what we called as the Auditory learners,
the audio narration is provided for the concept being taught, so that they will be able to
process it in the same way they process their everyday interactions.

Introduction of Reading Skills: Claims and Supporting

Evidence 2
Guided Questions:

1. What is the video all about?

2. Is there any conflict between the two sides?
3. What was the main claim of Thelma Tuckerson to Jerimiah Piccolo in
general? Did she provided evidence to support her claim?
- (Thelma’s Claim) Jerimiah Piccolo is not the right person for the
job of class treasurer.
- (Thelma’s heard rumors) He routinely loses his lunch money and
spends it all on desserts.

topic for the day.

B. ACTIVITY PROPER

KRA 1. OBJECTIVE 3 INDICATOR 2: Displayed proficient use of Mother Tongue, Filipino

and English to facilitate teaching and learning.

understanding of such terms. The teacher will look for volunteer students to do the task.

understanding the given context.

KRA 2. OBJECTIVE 6 INDICATOR 5: Maintain learning environments that promote fairness,

respect and care to encourage learning

In the given activity, the class is open for sharing their thoughts as reporting will be
done at the end of the activity. The class is expected to be courteous and sensitive of the
opinion of others and to feel that everyone inside the class will be treated with dignity
and respect.

Note: The teacher will group the students into two and will be given Manila

your explanation and write it in the provided strips of paper why it belongs to
that part of an argumentative essay.

Counter-claim- opposing view or the one that challenges or
offsets your claim. They can use the words such as Against,
while is it true, although, though, even though, some
might argue, others might say to present an opposing stand.

5. Put a check on the rebuttal part of the body before the text.
Rebuttal- The one that negates the counterclaim. They can use
the words such as despite this, in spite this, however, in

KRA 1. OBJECTIVE 4 INDICATOR 3: Used effective verbal and nonverbal classroom communication
strategies to support learner understanding &, participation, engagement and achievement.

Before the lesson proper had started, the teacher presented the rules to remember when the class is
still on-going. This would greatly help the teacher to familiarize the variety of ways on how she communicates
with her students. This would promote also a sense of comfort for the students. The teacher sees to it that
everybody will be participating the activity by encouraging them to answer the given questions by the teacher
through recitation as a way of assessing their learned information.

Should Cellphones Be Banned in The

Classroom?

1-Hook
Is carrying a cell phone at school the same as using it in class?
Definitely not, mobile phones should not be used in schools as students can
misuse it. 2-Thesis Statement

3- Topic Sentence 1 with evidence

The most prevailing reason for banning cell phones in class is because
they are “disruptive to the educational environment. Strayer and Johnston
(2001) have concluded that any cell phone conversation, and even the ring
of the cell phone, is enough to disrupt any secondary task performance, and
that any conversation or answer to a texted message requires the voluntary
attentional control processes that had to utilize the resources used in other
ongoing activities.
4- Topic Sentence 2 with evidence
In terms of school safety, The National School Safety and Security
Services reports that there have been numerous cases when students used
their mobile phones inside the classroom. In fact, school-bomb threat pranks,
and surprisingly enough, most such calls could never be traced.

5- Topic Sentence 3 with evidence

Moss, author/writer, and author/editor respectively, mentions that the
Scottish government regards mobile use in class a distracting influence. It
can promote cyberbullying, not to mention cheating in tests, which raises
new concerns in academia, as per.

6- Counterclaim Opposing views support that mobile phones can

become learning tools and be incorporated in a new updated learning
process. 7-Rebuttal Yet, tis true that cell phones in class can be used to
distract students from learning and an ongoing class task to the extent that
their rate of knowledge retention is too low.

8-Conclusion
Given the compelling evidence and undeniable results regarding the
use of cellphones inside the classroom, then the use of mobile phones inside
