A. Activity
Now, our lesson for today is all about the
concept of Government particularly, the
definition, responsibilities, and different
forms of Governments.
Anyone in the class who knows the
definition of Government?
Great! Okay now, when we say
governance, what does that entail? How
does it work?
Okay, very good!
Thank you, Sir!
Yes, Sir!
Sir. A Government is an institution or a
system made of a group of people that
takes care of or manages a country or a
state. Every government has its own
constitution or a set of fundamental
principles that it follows to ensure
effective governance.
Sir. Once the Government leaders were
appointed or formed, the government is
responsible for the social welfare, law
and order, defense, and financial affairs
of the country.
Sir. A Government must ensure the
security of its people through the means
of effective legislation. A government
must form and manage an efficient police
So now, we already know the definition of force, a fair court justice system, and a
the Government, can anyone here give the robust defense force.
responsibilities of the Government to its
constituents?

Sir. A Government must also provide

civic amenities and build infrastructure
for the social welfare, health, and
Okay, very well said!
development of its people.
Any other answer?

Okay, very good!

It seems that you already know and

understand the definition and
responsibilities of the Government to its
constituents.
None, Sir.

Can anyone here know the different forms

of Government?
(Students will watch and take notes with
regards on the video.)

Okay, I have here a video clip that shows

the different forms of Government and I
want you to observe and list down the
various Government that you have seen in
the video.

(Students will recite about the things they

B. Analysis take down notes)
Okay, what are the things you take down
on your notes regarding the video?
Now that you know the different forms of
Government. What are the concepts and
definitions of different forms of
Government that you have seen in the
video?
C. Abstraction
Another thing we also need to know is that
every country has its own way of
Governance. Now, can you please name
some of the countries having their
corresponding form of Governments?
Okay, very good!
Why do you think every country needs to
have a particular government?
Okay, very well said!
D. Application
(Students will answer briefly)
Sir. Communism in China
Sir. Constitutional Monarchy in Great
Britain and the United Kingdom.
Sir. Democratic in Philippines
Sir. Republic in United States of America
Sir. Theocracy in Iran and Afghanistan
(So on and so forth).
Sir. The Government needs to make rules
for everyone in the form of laws. The
government wants to give advantages to
the people of the welfare measures to all
without discrimination. To provide
equality and justice to all. To maintain
peace and order.
Sir. Governments are necessary because
they maintain law and order. Laws are
 necessary for society to function. Life in
a society without laws would be unsafe
and unpredictable.
Now for you, why do you think every
country needs a government?

Okay, great!
Sir. A Government serves as a central
governing authority for the people who
form a country. People need a centralized
regulating authority that is the driving
force in the growth and development of

developing and maintaining economic
security in society.

Okay, very well said!

Yes, Sir!

None, Sir.
So, class do you understand our lesson?

E. Evaluation

F. Assignment

the 5 forms of government that you have
seen in the video, and in every form of
government that you have listed, you must
provide 2 countries that execute that kind
of governance.
None, Sir.

Do you have any questions?

No more questions?

So, see you at the next meeting.
