 B. Establishing a purpose of the lesson
Pre-Activity: How do you feel? Directions: Put a check before the number if you experience the
following:

If you experience most of the symptoms, more or less, a situation or a place triggers your
discomfort.

C. Presenting Examples/Instances of the new lesson

Pre-Activity: What bothers you? Directions: List down your uncomfortable experiences based
from the places given and describe your coping technique
Do you feel the discomfort and demanding situations most of the time? If you always do,
you may be experiencing what we call stress.

D. Discussing new concepts and practising new skills #1

In the daily challenges of life, individuals often encounter discomfort—
circumstances and events that disturb one’s physical, mental, and emotional states. The
body’s response to the discomfort it experiences is called stress. Stress is the body’s way
of reacting to an external stimulus such as a discomfort.
On the one hand, stress can be helpful for it can keep a person alert and set to
avoid vulnerability. On the other hand, it becomes detrimental when a person is subjected
to stress without relief or relaxation between situations. Stress-related tension may build
up and consume the person. A negative stress reaction is referred to as distress. Distress
triggers mental, emotional and physical problems and, even worse, certain symptoms or
diseases. Activity 1 HELP! John, a grade 11 student, can hardly focus everytime he does

 his homework. With too much stress, he hardly understands what he is reading or
memorizing. What could be the source of problem? Write a step-by-step procedure on
how he could be able to overcome the distress he is facing.

E. Discussing new concepts and practising new skills #2

Physical Activities Mechanism in Coping with Stress Keeping your body physically active
can help improve overall disposition, increase the release of endorphins and offer meditation-like
qualities. Exercise can also reduce the fight or flight response often triggered by stress.
Mood Booster Engaging in physical activity can improve moods and make us feel better,
increasing self-confidence, thus reducing stress. Exercise can also
improve our quality and ability to sleep,
resulting in a fully rested body which can
definitely have a positive impact on our
overall disposition and cognitive function.
Endorphin Release Participating in
physical activity can result in an increase
in endorphin levels. Endorphins are
chemicals or neurotransmitter hormones that are secreted from the
brain and nervous system. It activates the body’s opiate
receptors thus it has analgesic properties that can make you feel good.
Mind Stimulator Exercise can be a form of meditation. With this, our mind
is somehow freed and stimulated to work and find solutions to our stress.
Reduction of Fight or Flight Response Physical activity or movement
metabolizes the hormones triggered by stress, processing these chemicals and
returning them to normal
levels. Once these hormones have been
metabolized, the level of homeostasis
improves, regulating the internal conditions of
the body, thus bringing in a state of balance and
stability.

Activity 2 Your coping mechanism Based on your answers from the pre-activity, how did
the four mechanisms work?
YOUR WAYS OR ACTIONS HOW THE 4 PA MECHANISMS WORKED

ACTIONS YOU MADE TO FEEL BETTER #2
ACTIONS YOU MADE TO FEEL BETTER #3
F. Developing Mastery (Leads to Formative Assessment)
Activity 3 Choose your PA Many of the physical symptoms of stress can be managed through
physical activity. Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement that works your skeletal
muscles and physical skills, that requires strength and energy expenditure. This time you will
choose activities that you want from different types of physical activities

Question: How will these activities that you have written, activate the four PA mechanisms?

G. Finding practical application of concepts and skills in daily living

In life, it is not always about school works, house chores, and social media participation.
We also have to find time in doing physical activities. Thus, we have to make a strategic
plan for our daily routines and lifestyles. By making your own daily planner, how will you
strategize your schedule?
Example:
