1. Activities
a. Anticipatory set
The teacher checks students’ attendance and assignment. (Classroom mgt)
b. Motivation
The teacher divides the class into four groups to play “Complete the Pic”. Every group
will be given cut out pictures of: (1) a woman giving birth in the hospital, (2) a mother
crocodile protecting her eggs, (3) a bird feeds her chicks, and (4) a male lion sacrificing his
life protecting his entire pride against intruder. Every group must try to fix the cut out and
form the picture. Whoever completes the task will be the winner and will receive a reward (in
points or in kind).
The teacher then asks the following guide questions to each group:
1. What do you see in the pictures you have formed?
2. What might be the core concept inside each picture?
3. What might be our topic for the day?
b. Lesson proper
Today we are going to explore and discuss the Human Persons as oriented towards
their impending death.
Same pictures will be used by the teacher during the discussion. A flip chart (or ppt)
containing the beliefs and culture of some classical and neoclassical philosophers will be
presented to the class.
Same group will be given a belief of a philosopher about Human Life to be discuss
among themselves, use a chart/graphic organizer, and present their understanding of that belief to
the class most importantly relating the philosopher’s belief to the picture they have formed
earlier.
c. Analysis
After the groups’ presentation, the teacher will show a short video clip on the life of Tado
who died on the date he already predicted in his book.
A volunteer from each group will try to analyze and explain Tado’s life following the
guide questions below:
d. Abstraction
Each group then presents their own generalization on the importance of understanding
human life and its impending death.
Teacher will also help craft each group or students’ own understanding of human life by
simply connecting their own objectives and where will it lead to.
d. Application
Each student will choose a literary output i.e. (1) write his/her own philosophical
reflection, (2) write a philosophical essay, (3) or write an 500 word argument about life
following a belief of some philosophers or based from his own belief. Each output will be scored
using a rubric.
Their output will be place in an exhibit side of the classroom.
IV. Evaluation
The teacher will simply check and record the students’ scores of their literary output.
