III. PROCEDURE:
A. Routine (greetings, checking of attendance and classroom management)
B. Motivation:
Examine the pictures below, what do you notice about the men and women in the pictures?

Follow-up questions:
1. What do they reveal about men and women?
2. Should women be always portrayed as doing household chores and men as warriors? Why?

C. Developmental Activities:
Activity A: Watch That Label
 Film-viewing of a video clip featuring a Filipina actress who claims it is not right to put a label
on anyone. Watch it and find out the label attached to her.

2. Analysis: (Oral Recitation)

 a. What is the label attached to the woman in the video?
b. Do you agree with what the woman said? Why?
c. Do you know women who are in the same situation as the woman in the video? What
comments do you hear from other people about them?
d. Do you think it is right? Why?

3. Abstraction:
Read the two scenarios that I have posted on the board and tell me whether it is fair or unfair.

Scenario 1: Teacher favor certain student over others in grading final performance or task.
Scenario 2: Not allowing one of your classmates to join your group because he/she is physically
disabled and therefore a waste of your time.

The first scenario shows favoritism and is classified as BIAS. The second shows discrimination
for it tells us unfavorable opinion and pre-judges others so it is what we call PREJUDICE.

BIAS means a tendency to favor one person, group, thing, or point-of-view over another, often
in an unfair way. Some common biases include:
 Affinity bias - refers to when you unconsciously prefer people who share qualities
with you or someone you like
 Beauty bias - we all unconsciously notice people’s appearances and associate it with
their personality.
 Conformity bias - happens when your views are swayed too much by those of other
people

Example: Female teachers give more attention to girls.

PREJUDICE is an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge,

thought, or reason. It simply means to pre-judge others. Common areas where prejudice occurs are
in nationality, age, gender, ability, and religion.

Example: It is sometimes assumed that someone who is physically disabled is also mentally
disabled.

4. Application: (Differentiated Activities)

Class is divided into three groups and will work on the activity assigned to them. The group presents
their output after 15 minutes.
