PIECING TOGETHER

This is just a simple activity. Here are the

mechanics:

• You'll be divided into five groups.

• Each group will be given a picture puzzle
and arrange it within 2 minutes.
• Once you're done, race your arranged
puzzle.
• The fastest group to finish will be the
winner.
• When time's up, finished or not, one
person from each team must explain their
puzzle arrangement.

Are we clear? “Yes, Ma’am.”

for me. So, tell your seatmates, “You did
well!”

D. Lesson Proper

Okay, to formally start our lesson,

everyone please read the objectives of our
lesson.
Thank you! Please be guided by our
objectives because this will help you know
what you should be able to do at the end of
our discussion.
Based on your activity, what have you
noticed about the puzzles you assembled a
while ago? Do they have similarities?
(Students raising their hand)
Yes, Joel.
“Ma’am, I think they are relevant in our country
nowadays.”
Very good, Joel!
“Yes, ma’am.”
Do they exist in our current time?
(Student raising their hands)
Okay, how do you know?
“They are often shown on TV or on social

media.”
Very good, Era!

Well, that’s true those had a big impact on

our society and our country.

So, what do we generally call them or what

do you think is the term we used to refer to
it? (Student raising their hands)
Anyone?

Yes, Bill.
“Ma’am, I think they are what we called issues
that we are encountering in our country.”
Exactly!

Bill is right, they are ISSUES in general.

So, what do you think is the meaning of

issue?
“Ma’am.”

Yes, Carlene. “It is a problem or concern that need to be

addressed.”

Precisely!

That’s right, issue is needed to be

addressed as much as possible. As it can
severely affect every person.
“Ma’am.”
Any other answer?
“Issue is something that people talk about.
Yes, Jean.

Excellent!

Alright. So, all of your answers were right.

For further discussion, let us first define the

term “issue”.
(Student raising their hands)
Kindly read it. Anyone?
- An issue is a topic or problem that requires
Yes, Cristina. discussion, attention, or action.
- It’s often a subject of disagreement or debate
among individuals or groups.
- They can affect individuals, communities, or
societies.

So, as you have said a while ago, an issue

is an important problem or topic that
people in the society argue about or discuss
since it negatively affects many people in
the society.

Do you know that there are three

classifications of an issue. Be ready
because we will dig deeper into the
important issues that we should know as (Students raising their hands)
citizens.

First, we will talk about SOCIAL ISSUE.

When you heard the word Social what

comes to your mind, anyone? “When I hear the word “social,” I immediately

Precisely! It has something to do with that.

Let us hear from the other.

Yes, Lhenayah.
“It is related to society.”
Brilliant! It is actually closely connected
with the society.

Alright, all of your answers were correct.

But when it comes to issue what is social? (Students raising their hands)
Let us see through this definition.

Kindly read the definition of SOCIAL

ISSUE.

Yes, Cedrick.
“A social issue is a problem that influences a
considerable number of individuals within a

Please read. “An issue becomes a social issue under the

Now, let’s try to analyze your example 
based on following circumstances of social

Let’s check poverty is a social issue.
following circumstances:
 The issue involves people in society.
The public, as a whole, recognizes the
situation as a problem.
 A large segment of the population sees the
situation as a valid concern.
 The situation can be alleviated through the
joint actions of the citizens.

Does poverty/issue involve people in the “Yes, ma’am.”

Why do you think so? (Students answer may vary)

Very good!

Next, does the public recognize it as a “Yes, ma’am.”

Do you think it can resolve through the ‘Yes, ma’am.

Now, I’ll show you a picture and tell me “Yes, ma’am.”

Try to analyze this picture.

What can you see? (Students raising their hands)

Yes, James. “Is it gender inequality?”

What is gender inequality? “I think it is about discrimination between men

and women.”

Do you think it bis an example of social “Yes, ma’am.”

issue?

Why do you think so? (Students answer may vary)

Very good!

We have a lot of social issues aside from

poverty. Can you give another social issue
that is prevalent in our country?

Yes, Tricia. (Students answer may vary)

Why do you think it is a social issue? (Students answer may vary)

Very good class!

Is social issue clear to you? “Yes, ma’am.”

Questions so far? “None, ma’am.”

Again, who can summarize what is social

issue?
“Social issue is not just a personal problem. An
issue becomes a social issue when it affects
many people within a society and is recognized
by the public as a problem. It's not just a concern
for a small group, but a large segment of the
population acknowledges its validity and
importance. The situation can be improved or
resolved through collective action and
cooperation among citizens.
Good job! Let’s gives her five claps. (Students will clap)

If you don’t have any questions. Shall we “Yes, Ma’am.

now move forward with the next one?

Let us have the MORAL ISSUE.

Have you encountered the word Moral? “Yes, Ma’am.

Alright, if that so what is Moral?

Anyone? (Students raising their hands)

Yes, Amy.
“Moral is somewhat related to good and bad.
Good job!

Yes, it is kind of related to good and bad.

I think, Ashley is raising her hand.

“We have encountered Moral in our E.S.P
subject and it is often about being right or wrong
of your actions towards something.
That’s right! Moral is concerned with the
principles of right and wrong behavior and
the goodness or badness of human
character.
“Moral issues are situations or actions that do

Let us first analyze this familiar and

common scenario.

Maria, an 8th grade student, finds a lost

wallet in her school's hallway. It's full of
money and doesn't have any identification
inside. She first checked to see if anyone
was around, then picked it up and kept it
without asking anyone about the wallet.

Do you think what Maria did was right? “No, ma’am.”

So, that’s the idea of moral or morality is

the idea of Ethics it is the way how to live
in a morally accepted manner.

So, each society has its own ethical content

and moral issue arise if instances when
people go against this accepted conduct.
Since ethics or moral shows the right or
wrong manner of living individuals in the
society need to follow this principles.

Now, let’s look at your arranged puzzle.

What do you think is an example of moral
issue?

Yes, Angela. “Is abortion considered a moral issue?”

Yes, it is. Abortion is a topic that people

have very strong beliefs about. Can you tell
us why it might be considered a moral “Well, some people believe that life begins at
issue? conception, so they see abortion as taking a life.
But others believe that a woman should have the
right to make decisions about her own body.”

Abortion involves the termination of

pregnancy. While other countries consider
abortion as legal, it is a moral issue in the
Philippines and is regarded a grievous sin.
This action is against the norms and values
of the people, the church, and the society.
It is illegal under the law of the land and is
highly condemned.

Now, take a look at this picture.

“I think that is corruption.”

What can you see?
Absolutely. Can you explain why “Corruption involves people in power doing
corruption is a moral issue? things that are dishonest or illegal for their own
benefit. It’s unfair and can cause a lot of harm to
society.”

Well said. Now, let’s continue this

discussion by looking at some other
examples.

Remember, understanding and addressing

moral issues requires empathy, open-
mindedness, and respectful dialogue.

Any questions regarding moral issue? “None, ma’am.”

If you don’t have any questions or

clarifications let’s proceed to the last type
of issue which is ECONOMIC ISSUE.

Can anyone tell me what they understand

by “economics”? “Isn’t it about money and how it’s used?”

That’s part of it, yes. Anyone else wants to

add to that? “I think it’s about how people, businesses, and
governments decide to use resources.”

Excellent! Economics is indeed the study

of how individuals, businesses, and
societies make decisions to allocate
resources to satisfy their needs and wants.
Now, let’s move on to a related topic: “Are they problems related to the economy, like
economic issues. Can anyone tell me what not having enough resources to meet people’s
they understand by “economic issues”? needs?”

That’s a good start. Yes, economic issues

are situations that reflect the scarcity of
resources which are deemed insufficient to
satisfy human wants and needs. Can “Is inflation an economic issue?”
anyone give an example of an economic
issue based on your arranged puzzle?

Yes, absolutely. Inflation, or the increase in

the price of basic commodities and
services, is a major economic issue. It “Because when prices of goods and services

“What about unemployment? If people don’t

other examples?

That’s correct. Remember, understanding

and addressing economic issues requires us
to consider the bigger picture and how
different factors are interconnected.

Do you have any questions about economic “None, ma’am.”

“Yes, ma’am.”
Any clarification?

Are you sure?

Alright, if you don’t have any questions, “Yes, ma’am.”

I'll be the one who will ask you then.

I’ll give phrase or word then answer me if
its, social, moral or economic.

Is that clear?

(Teacher provide words/phrases related to

social, moral, economic issues)

Wow! That’s nice, I hope you learned a lot

today.

Now I have one question.

As a student, what is the relevance of
knowing this types of issue? (Students answer may vary)

Very good, class!

At a young age, it is important that you are

aware of this kind of issue.

Understanding social, moral, and economic

issues is important for young people like
you as it prepares you to become informed
and engaged citizens who can contribute to
societal progress. It exposes you to diverse
perspectives, enhancing your critical
thinking and empathy skills. Additionally,
it fosters awareness about the world’s
complexities, preparing you for future roles
in a globally connected society.
