something that we should always consider for
us to keep our family or relationship with
others intact, sometimes showing
affection/love towards a person makes him feel

B. Lesson Proper
“Sir, Picture A is a picture of a Mother and
Presentation Picture B is a picture of a Cake.”
Show pictures of a Mother (a) and a Cake
(b) “On her last birthday.”

Motivation

“When was the last time you gave a gift to “By kissing and hugging her.”
your mother?”

“Why do you think there is a cake? What do

you think is the celebration?”

“Aside from giving material gifts, how else

do you show your love for your mother?”

Discussion
Let us read a poem and let us find out how
the children showed their love for their mother.

Who Loves Mother Best?

“Oh happy birthday, Mama dear.”

Sang Ben, Liz and Bess with cheer
“We love you much, we love you true.”
They kissed their mother, hugged her too.

Then quickly Ben skipped out to play

And went with playmates all the day.
Then rushed home in time to see
His sister Liz aglow with glee.

For Liz held up an ice cream cone,

Enjoying it, she sat alone.
Ben grabbed the cone, and slipped away,
So Liz cried out, “For that you’ll pay!”

Like cats and dogs the two did struggle

Each making sure to win the battle.
They tried to push and then to pull,
While Mama almost lost her cool.

But little Bess with Mom she stayed,

She set the table, drinks she laid.
And helped to serve Mom’s friends and “Because it is their Mother’s Birthday.”

these questions:
“Liz cried out because Ben grabbed the cone

Mother?”

“Why was Liz aglow with glee?” “Because Ben and Liz struggled.”

“Bess, because she helped mother to serve the

pay?”
“The best way to show my love for my parents
is by...”

“Why did Mother almost lost her cool?”

“Who among the three children loved their

Mother best? How did he/she show it?
“A girl is eating a cone of ice cream.”
“What is the best way to show your love for
your parents?” Explain. “Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”

Analysis
(Show picture of a girl eating an ice cream)

“What do you see on the picture?”

“What happened to Liz when she was eating “Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”
a cone of ice cream?”
“Because she was eating a cone of ice cream.”
Liz was aglow with glee, answers what
happens to Liz when she eats a cone of ice
cream. This is called the effect.
Look again at the picture,
“What do you notice on Liz’s face?”

“Why was Liz aglow with glee?”

Because she was eating a cone of ice cream,

answers why Liz was aglow with glee. This is
called the cause.

And that’s what we call the Cause-and-effect

relationship.

Generalization
“A cause and effect relationship describes
something that happens and why it happens.”

“What happens is called the effect; and why it

happens is called the cause.”

“The cause is usually introduced by the

connective because.”

Application
(Pantomine)

Each group will act out the following

situations from the poem.

Group1:
But little Bess with Mom she stayed,
She set the table, drinks she laid.
And helped to serve Mother’s friends and
guests.
Now tell me, who loves Mother best?

Group2:
For Liz held up an ice cream cone,
Enjoying it, she sat alone.
Ben grabbed the cone and slipped away,
So Liz cried out, “For that you’ll pay!”

Group3:
“Oh happy birthday, Mama dear.”
Sang Ben and Liz and Bess with cheer
“We love you much, we love you true.”
They kissed their mother, hugged her too.

Group4:
Like cats and dogs the two did struggle
 Each making sure to win the battle.

They tried to push and then to pull,

While Mama almost her cool.

IV. Evaluation
Read the following sentences. Write C before the sentence for the cause and write E for the part
that is the effect.

1. _____ because it is her birthday.

2. _____ Ben, Liz and Bess kissed and hugged their mother.
3. _____ Liz cried out.
4. _____ Because Ben grabbed the cone of ice cream and slipped away.
5. _____ Mama almost lost her cool.

V. Assignment
Identifying CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP.
Read the short fable. Underline the CAUSE and Encircle the EFFECT.

A fox said to a crow with a piece of cheese between its beak, “If you can sing as prettily as
you sit, then you are the prettiest singer.”
The fox thought that once the crow starts to sing, the cheese would drop from her beak.
But the crow carefully removed the cheese from the claws on one foot and said, “they say
you are sly, but you cannot fool me”. Not giving up, the fox continued to praise the crow. “I
wish I could hear you tell about your talents but I have to go look for food because I’m
hungry”.
POPULAR MEDIA
IN TEACHING

ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES OF POPULAR
MEDIA IN TEACHING
As technology and visual images become more integral to society, schools have
reflected this change by incorporating multimedia technology like sound, video and
slideshows into classrooms. Whether teachers assign projects that require
audiovisual content or use music or Internet videos as teaching tools, multimedia is
 able to engage student interest and present many topics in a more vivid, effective
way. Nonetheless, these methods also introduce a number of challenges.

Advantages

 Many have pointed to the educational benefits of these media. And all agree that
with the right guidance, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages (Connolly,
2011).1. Social media tools and networking sites encourage students to interact with
each other, share ideas and to express their creativity.2. Social media helps to
establish enduring relationships with real people. A few examples are: • Facebook
can help students overcome isolation that otherwise might lead them to leave school. •
Twitter can provide shy students with information about events that facilitates face-
to-face encounters with other students. Such personal interactions can create and
sustain a sense of belonging.
 These relationships created over social media can be fostered on the community level
too.4. The Internet and social media train our brains to skim and scan (Connelly,
2011). Due to the large amount of information available on social media sites,
students learn to discern easily between what is useful for them and what is not.5.
Because it is easy to use, and accessible from virtually everywhere and at any time,
social media improves communication among students and teachers.6. Social media
helps prepare students for successful employment. Students entering the workforce
can use social networking sites like LinkedIn to network and find employment.

Disadvantages

 Being connected and searching for information on Facebook, Google, and other web
services simultaneously, seizes and fragments our attention. Although students can
develop “scanning and skimming” skills, they could also get used to not paying
enough attention to what is important.2. They can subvert higher-order reasoning
processes, “including the kind of focus, concentration, and persistence necessary for
critical thinking and intellectual development” (Lederer, 2012).3. Some researchers
have correlated heavy Internet use with greater impulsivity, less patience, less
tenacity, and weaker critical thinking skills (Connelly, 2011).
 Prolonged Internet use exposes students to interactive, repetitive, and addictive
stimuli that produce permanent changes in brain structure and function damaging
their learning skills (Connelly, 2011).5. While it is true that the more one uses the
Internet and social media, the better the brain can skim and scan, research suggests
that these gains degrade the capacity for concentration.

What are the examples of popular media?

Is popular media applicable to the 21st century

learners?
Example of popular media
1. Facebook– The world’s largest social media site

 Cover Photo and Profile Picture – Two locations on your page designated for
showcasing photos of your company, logo, products, or services. The cover
photo is large and great for displaying a product while the profile picture is
smaller and square, perfect for your logo.
 Applications – Custom web applications, such as quizzes or games, are great
for getting your customers to interact and allow you to measure engagement.
 Wall Posts – Wall posts are your status updates. These can be anything
from questions, facts, and articles, to links or photographs.
 Metrics – You can measure how your site is doing based on your total number
of likes as well as comments, shares, and likes on individual wall posts.

2. Twitter – A real-time, micro-blogging social network

 Tweet and ReTweet – Your status update is called a tweet. When you re-post
someone else’s, that is called a ReTweet
 Mention @ - When interacting with others on Twitter, you use their handle (@
symbol and their username). This is called a mention.
 Favorite – When you enjoy a tweet and want to save it (or just express your
admiration), you can favorite it.
 Trending Topics # - This section shows the most popular conversations going
on right now in certain regions and is signified by a hashtag (#) and the
keyword or phrase.

3. LinkedIn – Social networking site focused on connecting the world’s professionals

 Engagement – You can measure how people are interacting with your site
through an engagement percentage that compares the ratio of likes, comments,
shares, and clicks to impressions (people who saw the post).
 Products/Services – There is a section to easily showcase your products and
services.

4. Pinterest – Pin-board style site for sharing interests through images

 Pinning - When you create your own original image, you pin it. When you like
someone else’s, you can repin it.
  Boards – Boards are the themed sections where you “pin” your images, such
as fashion, recipes, holidays, etc.

5. Instagram –Photo-sharing and editing mobile app

 Follow, like, comment – Instagram allows you to follow others for photo
updates, comment on those photos, and like them as well.
 Filters – The best thing about Instagram is the ability to snap a photo on
your mobile device, add a “filter”, and upload it in less than a minute. A filter
is a quick and easy, editing option which changes the general look, feel, and
color of the photograph.
Although the mainstream media and education systems are key institutions that
perpetuate various social inequalities, spaces exist--both within and beyond these
institutions--where adults and youth resist dominant, damaging representations and
improvise new images. In this article, we address why educational researchers and
educators should attend closely to popular media and democratizing media
production. We analyze and illustrate strategies for engaging with and critiquing
corporate news media and creating counter-narratives. We explore media education
as a key process for engaging people in dialogue and action as well as present
examples of how popular culture texts can be excavated as rich pedagogical
resources.

: Education in the 21st century highlights globalization and internationalization.

Preservice teachers in the 21st century are technology savvy. To effectively engage
and teach generation Z students, preservice teachers will help the educational system
meet this requirement. The educational systems must be outfitted with a prerequisite
of ICT resources both hardware and software, and curricula must be designed to
promote a collaborative learner‐centered environment to which students will relate
and respond. This study determines the 21st century skills possessed by the
pre‐service teachers in terms of social networking. Pre‐service teachers use computers
in very advanced ways, but educators must remember that they still need guidance to
use technology safely and effectively. Through social media the pre‐service teachers
can use a multitude of applications, including Web 2.0, for their projects. Smart
social networking requires critical‐thinking skills and the ability to integrate and
evaluate real‐world scenarios and authentic learning skills for validation.

Our world is changing, and in order to prepare our children for this new world we
need to change the way we educate them. In the 21st century educators must create a
curriculum that will help students connect with the world and understand the issues
that our world faces.
Schools in the 21st century will become nerve centers, a place for teachers and
students to connect with those around them and their community. Teachers in this new
environment will become less instructors and more orchestrators of information,
giving children the ability to turn knowledge into wisdom.
In order to educate in the 21st century, teachers and administrators need to cultivate
and maintain the student's interest in the material by showing how this knowledge
applies in the real world. They must also try to increase their student's curiosity,
which will help them become lifelong learners. Next they should be flexible with how
they teach and give learners the resources to continue learning outside of school.
There are many skills that children will need in order to be successful in the 21st
century. Here are a few of the most important 21st century skills:
 Ability to collaborate, work in teams
 Critical thinking skills
 Oral presentation skills
 Written communication skills
 Ability to use technology
 Willingness to examine civic and global issues
 Ability to conduct research to learn about issues and concepts
 Chance to learn about new career opportunities
In the ideal 21st century classroom, kids are actually excited about going to school,
and there are little or no discipline problems because everyone is eager to learn. In
this type of classroom activities and lessons are related to the community, whether
local or global. Students collaborate with people from different schools and
different countries to learn about issues that affect us all, as well as how we can
solve them today and in the future.
The curriculum in the classroom is designed to incorporate many skills and
intelligence levels, and makes use of technology and multimedia. The lessons are not
based on textbooks, instead they are project based. Skills and content are learned
through their research and projects, and textbooks are provided as one of many
possible resources.
A new addition to 21st century curriculum is the study of green education and
environmental issues. Kids are taught awareness of their world and real experts
such as scientist and politicians are brought in to answer student's questions.
New schools in the 21st century will be bright and spacious, and kids will have room
for group projects and individual assignments. Walls will be hung with student
work, and there will be places for students to put on performances for their parents
and members of the community. Students have full access to technology and, if
possible, every student will have a laptop.
Within the school there will be labs and learning centers, as well as studios for art,
music, theatre, and so on. Each classroom will be equipped with a television so that
all students can watch school productions and other school presentations.
While it may take some time before schools and teachers are equipped to properly
educate in the 21st century once they are the results will be dramatic. Children will be
engaged and eager to learn. In fact, they will carry on learning at home and over
holidays, and they will have the resources they need to keep learning no matter where
they are. This ability to foster a love of learning is truly the role of education in the
21st century.
