1. Subject: Introduction to the
Philosophy of the Human Person
Grade Level: Grade 12
Objective: Realize that all actions
have consequences.
2. • Learning across the curriculum:
• 1. English Language - Analyzing the consequences of character actions in literature
• 2. Social Studies - Examining the consequences of historical events on societies and individuals
• 3. Science - Investigating the cause-and-effect relationship in scientific experiments
•
• Elicit:
• - Begin the lesson by asking students to brainstorm examples of actions and their consequences.
Write their responses on the board to create a visual representation of their prior knowledge.
•
• Engage:
• 1. Show a short video clip depicting a scenario where an individual's actions have severe
consequences. After watching, ask students to discuss the possible consequences of the actions
shown in the video.
• 2. Present a thought-provoking quote related to actions and consequences. Ask students to reflect
on the quote and share their interpretations with a partner.
• 3. Conduct a quick class poll by asking students to vote on whether they believe actions always
have consequences or if there are exceptions. Discuss the results as a class.
3. • Explore:
• Activity 1 - Role-Play
•
• Materials: None
•
• Instructions: Divide the class into groups of 4-5 students. Assign each group a scenario where
actions have consequences (e.g., cheating on an exam, stealing, telling a lie). In their groups,
students should create a short role-play that demonstrates the consequences of the actions.
Encourage creativity and critical thinking.
•
• Rubrics:
• - Demonstrated understanding of consequences - 10
• - Creativity in-play - 5 points
•
• Assessment Questions:
• 1. What actions did your group portray in the role-play?
• 2. How did the consequences affect the characters in the role-play?
• Activity 2 - Case Study Analysis
•
4. • Materials: Case study handouts (prepared by the teacher)
•
• Instructions: Provide each student with a case study that presents a real-life situation where actions had significant consequences. Students
should analyze the case study individually and answer the questions provided. Afterward, facilitate a class discussion to share their findings and
insights.
•
• Rubrics:
• - Analysis of the consequences - 10 points
• - Depth of reflection - 5 points
•
• Assessment Questions:
• 1. What were the actions taken in the case study?
• 2. How did the consequences impact the individuals involved?
• Activity 3 - Consequence Mapping
•
• Materials: Chart paper, markers
•
• Instructions: In small groups, students should create a consequence map for a specific action (e.g., skipping class, starting a new hobby). The map
should illustrate the immediate and long-term consequences of the action. Each group will present their consequence map to the class, explaining
their thought process and reasoning.
•
• Rubrics:
• - Clarity of consequences presented - 10 points
• - Logical connections between actions and consequences - 5 points
5. • Assessment Questions:
• 1. What immediate consequences did your identify for the chosen?
• 2. How did long-term consequences differ from immediate consequences?
•
• Ex:
• 1. Lecture and: The teacher will provide brief lecture on the concept actions and consequences, emphasizing the cause-and-effect relationship. This will be followed by a class discussion
where students can ask questions and share their insights.
• 2. Group Activity: Divide the class into small groups and assign each group a scenario where actions have consequences. Each group will discuss and analyze the scenario, focusing on the
lessons learned and the impact of the consequences.
•
• Elaborate:
• 1. Debate: Divide the class into two groups and assign them opposing viewpoints on whether actions always have consequences. Each group will prepare arguments and evidence to
support their position. The debate will be conducted in a structured format, allowing students to present their arguments and counter-arguments.
• 2. Case Study Presentation: Assign each student a case study related to actions and consequences. Students will research and analyze their assigned case study, creating a presentation to
share with the class. This activity promotes critical thinking and deeper understanding of the topic.
•
• Evaluate:
• 1. Written Reflection: Ask students to write a reflection paper on the lesson, focusing on their understanding of the cause-and-effect relationship between actions and consequences. The
reflection should include personal examples and insights gained from the activities.
• 2. Group Presentation: Assign each group from Activity 3 to present their consequence maps to the class. The presentation should include a clear explanation of the chosen action and its
consequences, as well as the group's thought process in creating the map.
•
• Extend:
• - Assign students to research and analyze a historical event where actions had significant consequences. They should present their findings in a creative format, such as a poster or
multimedia presentation.
•
• Assignment:
• Write a short story that explores the theme of actions and consequences. Your story should depict a character who learns a valuable lesson through their actions and the resulting
consequences. Be creative and include different types of consequences (immediate, long-term, positive, negative) in your narrative.
