B. Lesson Proper

a. Activity

 The class will be divided into 6 groups

 The teacher will show the picture to the class
 The teacher will ask the students about what is being shown
in the picture.
 Then, he calls the name of the students to define the words
associated with the pictures.
 It will be done through Last Man Standing activity.
  The teacher calls the group number and the last student to
stand will define the word associated to the picture.

b. Analysis
The teacher will ask the following questions:
 How did you come up with the words associated to the
pictures?
 How did you come up with your definition?
 Is your definition based on what is written on the
dictionary?
 Is your definition of the associated words to the pictures
based on your experiences?
 Is your definition of the associated words to the pictures
based on the definition of others?

c. Abstraction

Technical definition is a very detailed description of a term,

process or phenomenon.

Example:
Global Warming - an abnormality of climate.
Mother – a female parent
Love – the feeling that is coming from heart.

An operational definition is the specific meaning of a word or

phrase given to it by the group of people who use the word in
their specific context.

Example:

Global Warming - the extreme hotness, extreme coldness, and

the fast changing and shifting of the climate.

Mother – a protector, a disciplinarian and a friend.

Love – caring, supporting and guiding others.

Types of Technical Definitions

 Parenthetical Definitions – used to define a simpler term with
a short description enclosed in parenthesis immediately after the
term.

Example: The viscosity (thickness) of the syrup made it difficult

to pour.

Sentence Definitions – used to define more complex terms in

couple of sentences

Formula: term + class + feature/details

Example: Fuel (term) is a substance (class) that is burned to

produce energy (feature).

Expanded Definition – used to define terms with a very detailed

explanation using examples and visuals.

Example:

Sportsmanship- The good attitude/behavior displayed by players

of a game; fairness, determination, winning or losing gracefully.

Make sure that the technical definition has the following

 Synonym (if available)

 Formal definition
 Examples
 Operational definition
 Analogies
 Contrast with what it is not

d. Application
 The students will stay in their respective groups
 The teacher instructs the students to create sentences
from these words; love, climate change and mother.
 Each group must have one sentence using the technical
definition and other one sentence using operational
definition.
 Each word must have two sentences; one for technical
definition and one for operational definition.
  The group must pick a representative to read the
sentences they have created in front of class.
