Subject: Personal Development

Grade Level: Grade 12

Objective: Compare one's perception of himself/herself and how others see

him/her; Share your experiences on how you show affections toward another
person and couple.

Learning within the curriculum:

1) Self-Concept and Identity Formation: This topic explores how individuals perceive
themselves and the factors that influence their self-image, including culture, family,
and peer relationships. It connects with the current lesson as students will analyze
their self-perception alongside how they are viewed by others.

2) Emotional Intelligence: This topic involves understanding and managing one's

emotions and recognizing the emotions of others. This lesson ties into the objective
as students will reflect on their emotional responses when showing affection and
how those might be perceived by others.

Learning across the curriculum:

1) Psychology: Understanding theories of self-perception and social psychology can

enhance students' insight into how they view themselves versus how others perceive
them. This integration allows students to apply psychological concepts to their
personal experiences of affection.

2) Literature: Analyzing characters in literature who struggle with self-identity and

relationships can provide students with a deeper understanding of the complexities
of self-perception and interpersonal affection, thus connecting to their own
experiences.

[Teaching Strategy] Discussion

[Instructional Materials] Anecdotes, Whiteboard

Anecdote 1 - "In Filipino culture, it's common for families to express love through
food. I remember my grandmother cooking my favorite dish every time I visited her. It
made me feel cherished, but I later learned that my cousins felt neglected because
she didn't do the same for them. This made me realize how affection can be
perceived differently."

Anecdote 2 - "During a community event, I watched a couple hold hands and laugh
together. To me, they looked so in love, but later I overheard someone say they were
going through a tough time. This made me think about how what we see on the
outside may not reflect the truth of someone's feelings."

ENGAGE:

[Teaching Strategy:] Role-Playing

[Instructional Materials:] Scenario Cards

1) Idea - Students will role-play different scenarios where affection is expressed

(e.g., a friend comforting another, a couple on a date). After each role-play, they will
discuss how the actions may be perceived by others versus their intentions.

2) Idea - Students will create a "Perception Board" where they write down how they
believe they are perceived by others and compare it to how they see themselves.
This will spark discussions about self-image and external perceptions.

EXTEND:
[Teaching Strategy:] Real-Life Application

[Instructional Materials:] Case Studies

this knowledge by adapting their own expressions to better fit their new environment.

Use-case 2 - A student uses their insights from the lesson to improve their
relationship with a family member, recognizing that their previous actions were
perceived negatively, and they actively work on communication to show affection
more clearly.

Assignment:

perceptions of affection and write a reflective essay on the findings.

Assessment Question: How do the perceptions of affection differ between

generations?

2) Guiding Overview: Students will create a visual presentation (poster or digital) that
