Voyagers 10)
MOTIVE QUESTION: Do you wear a mask today?

C. The learners will read “We Wear a Mask” a short poem written by Paul Laurence
Dunbar on p.101 of their book.
Ask: Did you experience difficulty in understanding
the poem? If yes, why?
D. The Learners’ will be introduced to a literary technique called Ambiguity.

Most writers deliberately use Ambiguity to evoke deep meanings in their work.
This is a literary technique in which a word, phrase, or event is changed with
more than one meaning and those meanings can also be conflicting.
E. The learners will be introduced to the topic biases and prejudices.

Bias and prejudice are closely related and often used interchangeably.
Both have a negative impact on our dealings. Let us explore the differences
between these concepts.
a. Watch: Heneral Luna: Negosyo o Kalayaan? Bayan o Sarili? Pumili ka!

Bias is a tendency to look at things in a certain way, in preference to another

way. It means a tendency to favor or support or against a particular one person,
group, thing, or point of view over another resulting in unfairness.
1. Anchoring Bias
This happens when people are too relied on current information or the initial
information they find in decision-making.
Example: From what I know, I chose you because I believed others are not as
good as you.
2. Media Bias
This happens when the journalists and news producers in the mass
media select what to report and cover.
Example: As a witness to the incident, I can attest that the reported news is far
from what I see because the events are reversed and untrue.
3. Confirmation
This happens when one tends to search for, interpret, favor and
remember information supporting one's belief and views.
Example: When he found out that the report did not agree with his views, he
immediately researched facts to prove that he was right.
4. Conformity
This happens when one makes a wrong or uncomfortable decision
to fit in to please the group of people.
Example: Although I did not agree with my will, I went with them to be happy.
I was ashamed of my own helpless decision.
5. Halo Effect
This happens when one sees the wonderful thing about a person and let the
perceptions on everything else about that person be distorted.
Example: Among the applicants, only Leo's papers were completely reviewed
because the manager was impressed with his awards and commendations.
b. See:
What do you think does the people around her thinks?
Prejudice refers to pre-judging before looking at the evidence. It is an

unfavorable opinion or feeling beforehand or without knowledge, thought,
or reason. Prejudice can have a strong influence on how people behave
and interact with others, particularly with those who are different from
another group.
The most common types of prejudice include:
1. Racism
This is the idea that groups of people exhibit different personality
characteristics and can be separated based on the dominance of one race
over another.
Example: All Chinese in the country are considered virus carriers due to the
COVID-19 disease.
2. Sexism
This is a prejudice based on sex or gender.
Example: Women are considered weak and lack the strength and ability to
do the work of men.
3. Classism
This is a prejudice based on social class or grouping of individuals
based on wealth, occupation, income, education, and social network.
Example: The poor are uneducated and do not help our country;
they should not be treated well by the government.
4. Ageism
This is a prejudicial attitude towards older people, old age, and the aging
process.
Example: All adults should not be hired because they only
become a burden, especially those who deserve to retire.
5. Religion
This is the attitude towards a person or group differently because of the
particular beliefs about religion.
Example: He lost his job because of his religion, which was believed to
conflict with his employer.
