representative to present and explain their ideas about the
statement.
 The following statements are:

Annotation:
This part of the lesson shows a learner-centered approach. In their previous activity, they
classify different organisms. Some of the students didn’t have prior knowledge about the different
systems in the body and its organ. After which, the teacher presented the video and asked what they
have learned from the video. Students were able to evaluate their answers in the previous activity after
watching the video.

This lesson plan was anchored in Constructivism. Constructivism is a student centered

philosophy that emphasizes hands on learning and students actively participating in lessons.
Constructivists believe that students should be able to discover lessons on their own through hands on
activity because it is the most effect way of learning and is considered true learning.
