IV. PROCEDURES
A. Springboard/ Motivation The teacher will provide three problems to the learner that show societal issues happening in the country. The teacher will
(Establishing a purpose for the lesson) let the learners think about it first to come up with answer.
1. More than 70% of sexually abused children are between 10 and 18 years old. Among those victims, 20% are under 6
years old. Cases of child sexual abuse are one of the most common issues that the Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) has to handle after abandonment and neglect. (Source: Context in the Philippines - Association
CAMELEON (cameleon-association.org))
What do you think is the societal issue presented? CHILD ABUSE
2. The controversial multi-billion peso transactions between the government and Pharmally Pharmaceuticals Corp. or just
Pharmally—a foreign-owned company—was perhaps the biggest corruption scandal that drew attention this year even as
COVID continued to rage.
P12 billion—this was how much the government paid Pharmally to deliver COVID supplies—some of it flagged to be
overpriced.
What do you think is the societal issue presented? CORRUPTION
3. The political reality in the Philippines is this: the planning, strategizing, crafting of laws, decision-making and the
implementing rules and regulations of laws still remain in the hands of men. (Source: Atienza: The Good, the Bad and
the Ugly: Gender equality in the Philippines (yahoo.com))
What do you think is the societal issue presented? GENDER ISSUE
B. Activity (Review of previous lesson/s or Class Activity
Presenting the new lesson) “Guess Me”
The teacher will show a set of pictures, the students will then discriminate between the image is real or unreal. Let them
defend why.
C. Analysis (Presenting The teacher will ask the following question to the learners:
examples/instances of the new lesson) 1. What have you observed from the activity?
-The activity showed real and unreal characters.
2. How did you come up with your answers?
-You got your answers based on your knowledge about real or fictions.
3. How can factual information be defined? What is the basis?
- Something that is factual is concerned with facts or contains facts, rather than giving theories or personal
interpretations.
D. Discussing new concept and practicing Factual VS. Nonfactual
new skills (sub-activity #1)
Factual - Something factual is real. It is based in fact, meaning it can be proven, repeated or observed.
Example:
Our current Mayor is Arthur B. Robes
President Rodrigo Duterte is the 16th and incumbent president of the Philippines.
COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2.
Nonfactual - not based on fact; false
Example:
The internet is being used by teenagers to waste their time in social media.
Death penalty is currently implemented in our country.
The National Election will not happen this year because of pandemic.
E. Discussing new concept and practicing The teacher will play a video clip about cultural differences. The learners will list down what they notice about the video.
new skills (sub-activity #2)
(1) The Philippines vs. Indonesia | Cultural Differences - YouTube
What are the cultural differences of Philippines and Indonesia?
-Colonization
-Religion
-Language
F. Abstraction (Making generalizations Let’s answer these questions:
about the lesson)
1. What is culture and why does it matter?
-Culture is the lifeblood of a vibrant society, expressed in the many ways we tell our stories, celebrate, remember the past,
entertain ourselves, and imagine the future. Our creative expression helps define who we are, and helps us see the world
through the eyes of others.
2. Is there a right or wrong culture?
- Culture is ever-changing, as the scale of right to wrong varies within each generation. As time passes, each generation
faces different problems and thus holds different beliefs and values. We grow up with different social and global issues
than those of our parents. Consequently, certain parts of each generation’s culture changes.
3. Do we have a right to judge others?
- To avoid judging the cultural practices of groups that are different to yours, we can use the cultural relativism approach.
Cultural relativism refers to not judging a culture to our own standards of what is right or wrong, strange or normal. Instead,
we should try to understand cultural practices of other groups in its own cultural context. For example, instead of thinking,
“Fried crickets are disgusting! ” one should instead ask, “Why do some cultures eat fried insects?”. You may learn that
fried crickets or grasshoppers are full of protein and in Mexico, it is famous Oaxaca regional cuisine and have been eaten
for thousands of years as a healthy food source!
Some people worry that the concept of culture can also be abused and misinterpreted. If one culture behaves one way,
does that mean all cultures can behave that way as well? For example, many countries and international organizations
oppose the act of whaling (the fishing of whales) for environmental reasons. These environmental organizations say that
there are not many whales left and such fishing practices should be stopped. However, other countries argue that whaling
is a cultural practice that has been around for thousands of years. Because it may be part of a country’s oceanic culture,
this country may say that such a cultural practice should not be opposed based on cultural differences, say, by an inland
country that does not understand. Who gets to define what a moral cultural behavior is? Is whaling immoral? Two different
cultures may have very different answers, as we saw in the above example. Another more extreme instance would be
female genital cutting in some parts of the world. Locally, it is argued that the practice has cultural roots, but such a
practice has raised concerns among many international human rights organizations.
G. Application (Developing mastery) Give 5 examples of Filipino Values and Filipino Ethnic Dance.
H. Valuing (Finding practical applications How Filipino Culture changes in the Philippines today?
of concepts and skills in daily living )
I. Evaluation (Assessing Learning) Answer the following questions in 3-4 sentences each.
1. Can there be a society without a culture? Why or why not?
2. Do you know much about your own culture?
3. When people from other countries think about your culture, what do they usually think of?
J. Agreement (Additional activities for Look at least one culture from other country and explain why you think it’s wrong. Explain your answer with at least 4
application or remediation) sentences.
