C. Activity

1. The teacher will flash some pictures and ask the students to give their
insights about the pictures.

D. Generalization:

The examples that we had discussed show that having an insight is

part of our day to day experience, something that happens in our
ordinary life, from the most trivial to the most serious or even tragic event
of our life. And insight has to do with seeing deeply with our mind into
the deeper aspects of reality, of things that are presented in our senses,
in our experience. The point is that we could see something more if we
just learn to think, try to think over our experience, and not simply
experience. As the fox would say to the Little Prince, "what is essential is
invisible to the eye."
