Grade Level Grades 7, 8, 9, 10

I. Objectives:
A. General a.Improve students’ level of awareness on the potential hazards and risk within and around schools;
b. Increase the participation of children in addressing potential disaster by reducing vulnerabilities;
and
c.Inculcate a culture of safety in the day-to-day experience of children in school
B. Specific a. Understand the processes involved in Student-led School Watching and Hazard Mapping; and,
b. Differentiate hazard, vulnerability, exposure, disaster risk
c. Simulate a school watching and hazard mapping activity
d. Share insights and experiences pertinent to student-led school watching and hazard-mapping
activity
II. Content: Student-Led School Watching and Hazard Mapping
III. Learning Resources/ References:  DepEd Order No. 23, s. 2015
 PPT Hazard mapping
 Hazard vs Disaster @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y16aMLeh91Q
IV. Procedures:  Classroom based lesson
 Discussion
 viewing of OHS video
 180 minutes (3 hours) – this is a suggested timeframe only for the listed activities
A. Reviewing previous lesson or Picture Parade
Presenting the new lesson Let the learners understand the pictures until they elicit the words “hazard”, “risk”, “exposure”,
“vulnerability”

B. Establishing a purpose for a Class Discussion

lesson Let the learners understand the figure, and let them answer the following questions:
1. What do you mean by risk?
2. What is hazard?
3. If you were exposed to hazard? What may happen to you? You are vulnerable to ____________
(let the learners give words to which they will be.)
4. What is vulnerability? What can you do, to avoid being exposed to these hazards?
C. Presenting examples/instance of Understanding the difference between hazard and risk is critical for understanding the relationship
the new lesson between natural phenomena and human interactions with those phenomena

Study the cartoon and answer the questions below.

1. In this cartoon, what are the hazards the parachutist may be vulnerable to?
Possible answer: Students might simply say "the volcano," but there are other specific hazards in
the cartoon such as materials from the crater, gases escaping into the air, heat, etc.

2. How could the parachutist avoid risks of the hazards shown in the picture?
Possible answer: She might return another day, after the volcanic activity decreases, and rely on
notification by local authorities to make that decision. Of course, parachuting anywhere involves
some risk of injury or death, so the decision not to parachute would reduce her risk. Without exiting
the plane, she might be injured or killed by the rocks or ash or deadly gases coming out of the
volcano, or the plane might crash after taking too much dust into its engine, so altering the course
might reduce or free her from risks.

D. Discussing new concept/s and Schools are involved in many activities that present a range of hazards. These hazards and associated

E. Discussing new concept/s and
practicing new skill #2
(varied activities)
F. Developing mastery (leads to
formative assessment)
risks must be managed to ensure the
safety of the learners and others.
Ask the learners to visualize locations in
their school ground, buildings and other
places that can be considered hazardous?
1. The teacher will provide a more in-depth discussion of the topic to significantly capacitate the
learners on the following important DRRM terminologies
 Hazard
 Hazard mapping
 Risk
 Exposure
 Vulnerability
 The relevance of creating the student-led watching team and the likes
2. Use the PPT of Hazard mapping (from DRRM references bank)
3. Provide videos on any hazardous situations.
4. Require the learners to create a simple role play emphasizing the terms hazardous, risk, exposure,
vulnerability, and the likes.
A. Organizing and Preparing the Student Watching Team
 Group the learners into five to organize a SWT w/ at least 10 members
  Orient the SWT with the guidelines of SW activity
 Designate a leader for each group

B. School Watching and Hazard mapping.

(Please use the school Watching Checklist.)

 Assign each group with specific areas then instruct them to identify hazard factors and/or at
risk areas in the school (30 minutes’ activity).
 Let them come back to classroom for reporting of their checklist and hazard map

C. Presentation and Evaluation

 Presentation of outputs for not
more than 15 minutes for each group.

G. Finding practical applications of Suggested questions for the teacher for discussion.
concepts and skills in daily 1. Identify areas/ locations in your house that are exposed to hazards and may lead to disaster.
 living
H. Making generalization and
abstractions about the lesson
I. Assessing Learning
J. Additional activities for
application or remediation
V. Remarks:
Yes
Were you able to execute the
lesson completely?
2. Analyze previous situations in your community that was hard hit by unforeseen events due to
being possibly exposed to hazard/s?
3. In what ways can you help to prevent or minimize risk/s that your family and/ or a community
may experience in the future?
1. A _(hazard)_ is a process, phenomenon or human activity that may cause loss of life, injury or
other health impacts, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental
degradation.
2. Exposure of people, property, systems, or other elements _(present in the hazard zones) that are
there by subject to potential losses.
3._(Vulnerability)_ is a set of conditions and processes resulting from physical, social, economic,
and environmental factors which increase the susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazards.
4. Risk = Hazard x ______________(vulnerability)_
5. A tool used to illustrate the possible dangers of an area and to make them known to the people or
Stakeholders _(Hazard map)_ .
Paper and pen activities (quiz, reflection paper, etc.)
Watch the video Hazard vs Disaster @https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y16aMLeh91Q
for discussion in the next meeting.
No If no, provide explanation.

learning
Which of my teaching strategies worked
well? Why did these work?
What difficulties did I encounter which
my principal or supervisor can help me
solve?

did I use/discover which I wish to share
with other teachers?
