I. Activity
Before we proceed to our discussion let me
ask you few questions.

Who among you experienced having

misunderstanding with others? Or have you had
conflicts with others?
(Students will raise their hand)
How did you feel about it? What did you do?
(Students answer may vary)
Did you try to solve the problem right away?
(Students answer may vary)
Did you think of the cause of the problem first?
(Students answer may vary)
Now class, kindly read this quotation by Steve
Carell.
“I think in most relationships that have
problems, there’s fault on both sides. And in
order for it to work, there has to be some
common ground that’s shared. And it’s not just
one person making amends.”
-Steve Carell
Did you understand that quotation?
Yes Ma’am.
What is the quotation all about or what is your
understanding about the quotation?
 The quotation is all about solving problems in
terms of relationship.
Thank You!

The quotation is all about finding ways on how

to solve such problems.

Did you agree with the author?

Yes Ma’am.
Why or why not?
Because if you’re in a relationship and you are
facing problems, you must solve it together.
Very Good! Thank you!

Conflicts or problems are not existing only in

boy and girl relationship. The word relationship
refers to family, friends, classmates, people that
surrounds you and even your enemies.

Is that clear?
Yes Ma’am.
Now kindly observe this picture and identify
details that symbolize the things to consider in
resolving conflicts.

Do you think the persons in the picture are

trying to make amends to resolve a conflict?

today?

Thank You! Another?

Grounds.

the phrase “Finding Common Grounds”?
It’s all about sharing what are your similarities.

Before we proceed to our next activity, do you
have any idea of what linear and non-linear
texts are?
None Ma’am.
I’m going to discuss it and you must listen
carefully.

Linear texts comes from the word “line” . The

reading texts are presented within the straight
line.
Examples: Essay, story, speech, letter,
newspaper report, etc.

Non Linear texts are graphical and the reading

texts are not presented with long straight line.
For example are Bar , Line , Graph , Pie , Radar
Graphs, tables and pictures.

Did you understand the difference between the

two?
Yes Ma’am.
Now, we will read the text entitled “4 Causes of
Family Conflict” by K. Lee Banks.

that clear?

1) From the given conflicts, which of these

 have you experienced with your family?

of finances because sometimes money is really

for our daily expenses.
Thank You!

conflict in your family?
I think of any way to have some money, we tried
to sell toys and street foods.

Very Good! Thank You!

conflict situations arise among teenagers on a
daily basis. Many times, minor conflict and
disagreement can result in violence.

conflict situations in your group.
 Ask each member in the group who
experienced the conflict. From the
responses, rank the conflict from the
most number of persons to the least who
experienced it.
 Graph the results of the survey you
conducted in your group.
 Write your interpretation of the graph in
the box.
 Use different kinds of graphs.
