best not to let the ball fall on the ground.

After I say “GO”, you have 10 seconds to stand behind the word of your answer. The student
who will get the wrong answer will be eliminated from the game. The remaining students who
will get the correct answer up to the last question will be awarded with additional points.

c. Analysis:
After the activity, the students will have to answer the following questions:
 How did you find the activity?
 Were you able to get the correct answers honestly? How?
 Most of the questions are all about what?
 Out of the activity, were you able to draw out the topic for today?
d. Abstraction:
The class will engage in a discussion about Communicable Diseases: Chain of Infection and
Stages of Infection. (Please see attached copy of the PowerPoint presentation.)

e. Application:
Group the students into 3. Let them create a short presentation based on the task they you given.
Each group will be given 5 to 10 minutes to prepare for the presentation.

TASK: ROLE PLAYING

You will be portraying how a certain disease transfers from one person to other. You will be
following the links of the chain of infection. After the presentation, there will be a group
representative to explain what you have presented in front. All members should have a role to
portray.

TASK: POSTER MAKING

You will be making a poster about the chain of infection. You substitute the names of the
links of the chain of infection with symbols. There should have a group representative to present
your output.

TASK: NEWS CASTING

There will be students who will act as news reporters in front of the class. Members of the
group should make a simple script to be reported by the reporters. The script should be about the
stages of infection.

III. Assessment:
Directions: Write your answers on your test notebook.

Identification.
A. 1. These are diseases which are transferred from one person to another.
2. What do you call the disease- causing microorganism that attacks the body and infect cells?
3. This is the interval between entrance of pathogen into the body to the appearance of first
symptoms.
4. It is the route of escape of the pathogen from the reservoir.
5. The stage of infection wherein the illness reaches its highest point of development.

B. Arrange the following processes in chronological order. Write letters A to E on the space
provided before each number. (A is 1st step, B 2nd step, so on..)

__ 6. Convalescence stage is recovery stage.

__ 7. Illness stage is when specific severe signs and symptoms appear.
__ 8. Incubation stage is when a person acquires the pathogen.
__ 9. Prodromal stage is when there are non-specific signs and symptoms appearing.
__ 10. Decline stage time when the signs and symptoms of the sick person slowly go down.

IV. Assignment
 Now that you have understood the stages of infection, choose the stage where you think is
the best stage to CUT from the flow of infection and explain why you chose that stage. Write
your answer in a ¼ sheet of paper.
 Research also on the internet the 6 kinds of pathogens and list 3 examples of diseases that are
caused by those pathogens.
