IV. PROCEDURES

 Greetings
A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson  Checking of attendance
 Prepare the students for the class activities

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson The students will read a short story about chain infection.

C. Presenting examples / instances of the new lesson
The students will answer questions about the story.
1. What type of pathogens can cause Peter’s diseases?
2. Where can these microorganisms thrive and reproduce?
3. Where is the reservoir of the microorganisms?
4. How did the microorganisms transfer to John’s body?
5. Where did the microorganisms enter John’s body?
6. Who is the next host?

Discuss the different elements of infection.

The student will identify the meaning of the following word in the word pool from the given
statement.
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1 WORD POOL:
Mode of Transmission Pathogen
Portal of Entry Portal of Exit
Reservoir Susceptible Host

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills # 2 Discuss the preventive measures for diseases according to different modes of transmission.

Fill my lacking correctly where they will do the following:

“THE CHAIN LETTER”

F. Developing mastery (Leads to Formative Assessment)
(1) PATHOGEN is a disease-causing organism which includes bacteria, virus, parasitic worm,
protozoa, and fungi and lives in the ( 2 ) RESERVOIR which can be a living or non-living object.
In order to be transmitted, the pathogen leaves the reservoir through the (3) PORTAL of EXIT.
Examples include the mouth, nose, anus, and other special body openings. The pathogen is
then passed through a direct or indirect (4) MODE of TRANSMISSION from one host to the next
host. It is transmitted through a living vector like a mosquito or flea. Some diseases like malaria
have complicated life cycles involving more than one species. Some are transmitted by
respiratory droplets, while others are through blood contact, semen or other secretions. Hand-
to-mouth is a common mode for gastrointestinal pathogens. The organism enters the body
through the (5) PORTAL of ENTRY. such as the nose, skin, or mouth. The portal of entry
determines the type of personal protective equipment (PPE) to use to keep health care workers,
family and visitors safe in the hospital. The ( 6) SUSCEPTIBLE HOST is a person with low
immunity to disease. This includes the very old, and the immune suppressed (due to genetics,
transplant drugs, malnutrition, or viral infection like HIV).

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily
The students demonstrate healthful practices in order to prevent and control infections through
living
Charade.
 The class will be divided into two. Each group will have 5 representatives to act out the word
they have picked while the rest of the group will guess it. The fastest group to guess the words
correctly will get 50 points.

H. Making generalizations and abstractions of the lesson Disease prevention and control is a very important health concern because it affects the quality
of people’s lives.

I. Evaluating learning Students will create their own illustration of the Chain of Infection.
J. Additional activities for application for remediation
