ELICIT

ENGAGE
1. Establishing purpose of the new lesson.

Have them ponder the questions on page 44.
2. Presenting instances of the new lesson.
 Is your pet truly aware of what is happening around it?

 Can your pet reflect on its actions and behavior? Do you think it can feel guilt or
satisfaction in the same way you do?
 Is your pet capable of reflection? Can it question its nature or identity as a dog?
EXPLORE
1. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills.
 Self-awareness refers to the person having a clear perception of oneself, including his or
her thoughts, emotions, identity, and actions. Human awareness goes beyond
perception and reaction to the environment. The human person is defined by a deeper
awareness which is driven by rationality or human thought. This awareness of the self
also enables us persons to experience an inner world that is defined by our personal
thoughts and ideas. The sense of self enables a person to look within himself or herself
and experience interiority.
 Self-determination refers to the capability of persons to make choices and decisions
based on their own preference, monitor and regulate their actions, and be goal-oriented
and self-directed. We are persons because we act and we are aware of our actions. Our
free will enables us to do actions whenever we want to and make various alternatives.
The existence of free will enables a person to act willfully, control his or her actions, and
recognize himself or herself as the source of action. Consequence is the result or effect

2. of an action or condition. This brings us to another element of human action, which is
morality or the goodness and badness of an act.
 Externality or the capability to reach out and interact with others and the world.
 Dignity or the innate right to be valued and respected.
EXPLAIN
1. Developing Mastery.
 Personhood – refers to the state of being a person.
 Person – refers to a human being granted recognition of certain rights, protection,
responsibilities, and dignity above all. It is the totality of an individual, possessing awareness,
self-determination, and the capacity to interact with others and with himself/herself.
ELABORATE
1. Finding practical applications of concepts to daily living.
 Try and say these statements
I am a person.
I am alive.
I exist.
I am here. I am present
I am living at this very moment.
I am a person.
My actions are my own and are made freely.
I know that I am the cause of my actions.
I know that my actions have consequences.
I am a person.
I value others.
I interact with others in meaningful ways.
I value my relationship with others.
I am a person.
I am a person with dignity.
I recognize that others have dignity, as well.
I must uphold human dignity in my thoughts and actions.
 If you believe these statements apply to you, then you are now closer to a fuller realization of
yourself as a person.
