IV. PROCEDURES:
A. Reviewing the previous lesson or presenting the new lesson:
The teacher will start the lesson by asking their role in promoting respect for individual differences.
The learners will share their ideas and possible contributions towards individual differences which
aims to give opportunity to view other’s perspectives and feelings. Accepting attitude and openness
to other’s unique characteristic will help everyone to have healthy relationships.
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
1. How can you show that you recorgnize that we are all different from one another?
2. How can you embrace disctinctions and uniqueness of your classmates?
3. Why do we say that in diversity, there is harmony?
C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson:
Group Activity: Observation of Other’s Uniqueness
1. Copy the following table on a clean sheet of paper.
2. Think of three (3) different persons who are similar in a certain aspect that you would
like to observe for this activity. Example: 3 famous personalities (singers, dancers,
inventors, politicians, artists).
3. Write their names and describe them using the options in each column. Use your best
judgment on them.
4. Write your answers to the processing questions after.
 Processing Questions:
1. Were you able to fill out all related descriptions for each person? Which of the
descriptions is the most observable?
2. What is the most difficult description to observe? Explain.
3. What can you say about the differences that you observed among these three persons?
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills:
The teacher will discuss the following:
There are healthy ways to deal with our individual differences which would work for
everyone’s advantage. Here are some:
a. Accept that we are all different. Don’t assume that your preferences would always be
the same as those of your peers or friends. Of course there are similarities among you
but all have different stories to tell that affect the way you see things. You may have
different beliefs, culture, values, and even interest, and you cannot force anybody to be
exactly the same as you. Remember, even twins have differences.
b. Use your similarities with other people to strike a harmonious relationship with them.
While you acknowledge that people are different from another, there are also
commonalities which you may take advantage to establish positive relationship with
them. At this point in time, you might have found the right people who can be your
good friends, who can inspire you to strive harder, and who can be your role model.
c. Be open-minded with others. You can always learn from the experiences of your friends
and peers and they can also do the same with you. The manner they overcome life
challenges and how they impact their living could be your insights to improve your
lifestyle or even the way you see things around you. You can also learn from their
culture, traditions and values.
d. Try to consider where others are coming from. Your family set-up may be different
from what your friends have. People might have grown up in a province or in a highly
urbanized city. There are those who have a complete set of parents and those that have
a single parent or no parents at all. Additionally, people have different childhood
experiences which greatly affect their attitude and personality now. There are also those
who struggle financially and those who are well off. Keep in mind that people are
coming from different backgrounds and they act, decide and make choices based on
those things.
e. If your differences with others are getting in the way, try to have a common ground.
You cannot impose your beliefs, values and culture to others, the same way that they
cannot do that to you. However, instead of trying to prove who’s better and who’s not,
you may want to find an area where you can both improve yourself while learning from
each other. There are differences that are worthy to talk and celebrate, and there are
those that we just accept unconditionally just like in the second item. There’s no point in
comparing people as each of us have our own potentials and abilities.
E. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living:
Let the learners share their perspective in this statements: Always remember that you co-
exist with others. There are things that you cannot control like the people around you
but you can always manage the way you deal with them. The choice is always with you,
either you make the most out of those individual differences and have a happy life or
you make that as your limitations.
F. Evaluation:
I. Write your five own ways on how you deal uniqueness with others. ( Do this on a sheet of
paper)
II. Share at least 3 policies you want to add in your school rules and regulations that would promote
the importance of accepting one’s individuality.
