B. MOTIVATION
Class, before we proceed to our lesson,
we will play a game.
Group yourself into two. (The teacher

Settle down Grade 8, quiet.
Now please read what you have to
unscramble in the board.
Thank you! Now do you have any idea

what we are going to do right now?
Definitely! We will be scrutinizing the

following so now let’s begin our journey.
Please lend me your ears.
We have here the word (Apartheid) class

do you have any idea what is apartheid
or what you understand about it? Do
you know the definition of apartheid?
From the root word apart? What can you
grasp about it?
So, here’s a quick background about it. If

we look at the denotation of the word
apartheid, please look it in your
dictionary on your phone if you have
one, what does it say?
That’s right the state of being apart or

separated. And in South Africa, this is
what happens it was a social policy that
forced blacks and people from other
racial groups to live separately from
whites.
So, can you imagine their situation? How

devastating that is. Imagine if that is also
happening right now here in our country
Philippines. Would that be just? Or not if
you were one of the black people.
I didn’t say that you said that yourself.

Later we will get to know that person
who experiences apartheid and that is
Nelson Mandela.
- South Africans are classified into

Africa from 1948 to 1944. Thus, under
the new legislation, South Africa was
under these laws: What are they who - Any marriage or sex between a white
want to volunteer, read the first law? and a person of any other racial
group is a crime.
Okay, please proceed.
Because it’s a crime ma’am or it’s a sin.
So that means that white is dominant.
Next yes, John Patrick, go on.
Ma’am, it says here that 84% of South Africa is

Did you understand that? Therefore, that for the whites (15% of the total population) and

So, we can’t blame Africans if some of

Lastly? What does it say?

Ma’am, maybe he imparts some notable
lessons in life through his writings?
That implies that there is really

inequality happening back then. It’s just
so unfortunate, right? That people in the
end no matter what failed to be united.
There’s not enough power of love, as they (Grade 8 watch the video)
say, love covers a multitude of sins.
Right now, let’s learn about the life of

Nelson Mandela. Do you have any idea
who is he?
Yes, without a doubt. What else aside

from being president of South Africa,
why do you think that his name is all
over your learning material or your
book? What did he do that makes him a
legend?
Yes, that’s it. Now please watch this

short video about him.
Non-fiction ma’am.
So that makes Nelson Mandela strikingly

Later on, you will dig deeper into Nelson

Mandela’s life by reading his biography
and autobiography.
Do you know what is biography and

autobiography? Are they fiction or non-
fiction?
Why?
The apartheid issue is an issue between whites
and blacks’ people and other race. The
apartheid issue happens in Africa this
becomes an issue because of how whites
