A score of 12-15 out of 10 belongs to “Insufficient Level”
Pre-lesson Remediation Activity:

For Students with Insufficient Level on Prerequisite Content-knowledge and/or Skill(s):
 Additional learning Materials will be administered to the learners who belong to the Insufficient Level.
 They will proceed to the Learning Station Area and answer the activities provided to make them ready for the new topic.
For Students with Fairly Sufficient Level on Prerequisite Content-knowledge and/or Skill(s):
 Learning Materials will be administered to the learners who belong to the Fairly Sufficient Level.
 They will proceed to the Learning Station Area and answer the activities provided to make them ready for the new topic.
Introduction:
Guide the learners about the following vital information in going about the lesson.
 1-2 days (at 1-2 hours/day of engagement)
 Online learners may contact the teacher via the LMS messaging system, email, Google Chat, or messenger
 Offline (modular) learners may contact the teacher via SMS/Text, phone call or scheduled in-person consultation.
 In-person (Face-to-face consultation)
In this lesson, emphasize to the learners that they will be able to:
 Understand the significance of doing philosophy
Overview of the Lesson

Many fields can be studied and learned without ever actually working with the tools in field. For instance, chemistry can be learned in depth without ever picking up a test tube
or mixing ionic compounds. Philosophy, however, is more about the methodology behind deriving answers than it is about the answers themselves. As such, students studying
philosophy must use the methodology of philosophy on the philosophy they are learning as they are learning it. Doing philosophy involves asking the right questions, critically
examining the work of previous philosophers, truly understanding the works and the reasoning behind the works, and possibly building on the works of previous philosophers by
expanding or testing this methodology.
Student’s Experiential Learning: (Note: Use the Flexible Learning Activity Identified for the topic/lesson relative to the General Enabling Teaching Strategy)
This section is intended for the presentation guide of the lesson proper. It must highlight the chunking of the topic into essential concepts through the use of formative
questions.
Chunk 1 Doing Philosophy
The teacher will present pictures and let the students observe and reflect. After 5 minutes, ask the students randomly about the following questions below.
Process Questions:
1. How would you connect these two pictures to each other?

2. How do these pictures give you an idea of what is philosphy?

3. Based on your own understanding, what is philsophy?
Guide Questions:
1. What is your philosophy in life?
2. What is philosophy?
3. When do we start philosophizing?
4. Do we have the unrestricted drive to know all about that there is?
5. How do we identify a partial perspective to holistic point of view?
Students are presented with the idea and importance of a doing philosophy in the light of ignorance of one’s existence. They are now confronted with realism,
from perception to reality.
Synthesis
Many questions in philosophy are easy to understand, in that, we know the idea they are trying to solve; however, we find resolving these questions difficult to solve
satisfactorily. We always end up asking, what really is Philosophy? Thus, we continue to assess ourselves with doubts that would help us have an insights of the
consequences of our actions. These doubts are the starting point of philosophizing,
RUA of a Student’s Learning:
Students will write a philosophical reflection about one of the most unforgettable moments in their life. In writing, they will integrate the primary and secondary reflection and the
partial and holistic point of view on it. Write it in a sheet of paper.
Post-lesson Remediation Activity:

The learners’ outputs (RUA demonstration/expression) will be evaluated by the teacher vis-à-vis the PAA #4 criteria. Unachieved standard(s) or criterion/a will require the
learners to revise that part of their output, with monitoring of the teacher. Once all standards/criteria are met, the learners can proceed to the next lesson.
