 Geography helps us understand basic physical systems that affect everyday life.

To learn the
location of places and the physical and cultural characteristics of those places in order to
function more effectively in our increasingly interdependent world. To understand the
geography of past times and how geography has played important roles in the evolution of
people, their ideas, places and environments.
 Geography affects culture through topographical features such as mountains or deserts as well
as climate, which can dictate options for clothing, shelter and food. The interaction of culture
and geography is called human geography, which is the study of people's language, religion,
medicine, economics and entertainment and how these practices have been influenced by their
location.
 Cultural etiquette/manners is what you call the codes of behavior that rule different cultures –
in other words, what's acceptable and what isn't in a society. In our country we cater many
cultural etiquettes and manners. Filipinos tend to dress modestly, especially when in public. It is
expected that the elderly and those of a higher social status are treated with respect. Given
large family sizes and typically small living quarters, Filipinos are generally not demanding of
privacy. Within one family, possessions are typically thought to be communal and shared. Thus,
it is expected to be open about one’s possessions and space. Many Filipinos avoid blasphemy
and cursing as it may cause themselves to lose face. Filipinos typically have a relaxed approach
towards timekeeping and punctuality. It is common for Filipinos to arrive an hour or two hours
after the designated time. This is commonly referred to as ‘Filipino time’. However, Filipinos will
observe punctuality in a formal context such as important business meetings, appointments or
when visiting the doctor.
 Real Life Situation are inherently engaging since they tend to be meaningful and applicable to
students' lives, either directly or indirectly. Introduce students to your research - make it
personal. It inspires students. Task students with bringing examples of real-world experiences
and problems to the class. Bring experience into the classroom through guest speakers,
engaging students in case studies, or field work. Engage students in community work, such as
service learning.
 Constructivism can be defined as a style of teaching that prioritizes the student as an agent of
knowledge acquisition and understanding. In teaching the social studies, however, a greater
emphasis needs to be placed on creating interactive teaching-learning environments in which
student learning is enhanced.
 Stories telling strategy in teaching engage our thinking, emotions, and imagination all at once.
As listeners we participate in the story with both mind and body as we enter the narrative world
and react to it. Storytelling is a human art form that teaches about the human experience. As
such, subjects even like math and science, are not outside the world of human experience or the
art of storytelling. They are woven into the fabric of our lives in ways of which we may not be
aware. Stories help teachers reach novices in ways they cannot with other dry, rote, deductive
strategies. They bring disparate information to life in a meaningful and connected way.
 Asking students to make a poem is also a good strategy in teaching by doing this, you give your
students the opportunity to express their feelings and opinions, but you are also gathering
information that will help you plan your lessons.
 Subject Integration it is integrated teaching involves combining academic subjects to teach
around a specific topic. The idea is that students will learn more when they see how the topic
connects to different areas in curriculum.
