This applies for those members of the family who are not really
related by blood but connected only by marriage and others.

Now, here’s the deal. Create your own simple genogram starting
from your grandparents, as in the parents of your parents, down to
your nieces/nephews. So, what are you going to include in your
genogram?

CUT TO ILLUSTRATION WITH NAT SOT/VTR SIL First, start with your grandparents. State the parents of your father

indicate if they are still alive. We’ll focus on your parents. Next,
draw a line connecting your parents. Then, below them will be you
together with your siblings. Indicate if your siblings are married,
dead or separated by using the symbols presented. Include also
their partners. Lastly, below your row is intended for your
nieces/nephews.

That’s it! Do not worry, you have all the week to accomplish your
genogram. Just make sure to include it with your modules during
submission for checking. Let’s pause for a while as we watch this
short reminder.
INFOMERCIAL

TEXT OVERLAY: Family and Family Structure We’re back for school on air. Now we’re done discussing genogram
and how to make one. This time, let’s talk about family structure
and let’s see what structure you belong.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, a family is defined

as a group of persons usually living together and composed of the
head and other persons related to the head by blood, marriage or
adoption.

CUT TO ILLUSTRATION WITH NAT SOT/VTR SIL The traditional family structure is considered a family support
TEXT EMPHASIS: family structure, family system which involves two married individuals providing care and
GRADE LEVEL: Grade 11
SUBJECT: Personal Development PAGE 4

support system, married individuals providing stability for their biological offspring. However, this two-parent,
care and stability, nuclear family has become less prevalent, and alternative family
forms have become more common. The family is created at birth
and establishes ties across generations. Those generations, the
extended family of aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins, can all
hold significant emotional and economic roles for the nuclear
family.

Display the content of the story value of our family as we analyze and reflect on the different
inspiring stories of families. (PAUSE) The first story is entitled, What
does it mean to put others’ first before ourselves?

A doctor entered the hospital in a hurry after being called in for an

urgent surgery. He answered the call ASAP, changed his clothes &
went directly to the surgery block.
He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.
On seeing him, the dad yelled: “Why did you take all this time to
come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you
have any sense of responsibility?”
The doctor smiled & said: “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital & I
came as fast as I could after receiving the call… And now, I wish
you’d calm down so that I can do my work.”
“Calm down? What if your son was in this room right now, would
you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do?” said
the father angrily.
The doctor smiled again & replied: “… Doctors cannot prolong lives.
Go and intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”.
“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy,” murmured
the father.
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out
happy, “Your son is saved!”. And without waiting for the father’s
reply, he carried on his way running. “If you have any questions,
ask the nurse!!”
“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I
can ask about my son’s state,” commented the father when seeing
the nurse minutes after the doctor left.
TEXT OVERLAY: The wooden bowl The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died
yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called
him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life,
he left running to finish his son’s burial.”

Need a tissue? (PAUSE) Probably after this second story entitled

The Wooden bowl

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-
year old grandson.
The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his
step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly
grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult.
Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass,
milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We
GRADE LEVEL: Grade 11
SUBJECT: Personal Development PAGE 7

must do something about father,” said the son. “I’ve had enough of
his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.” So the
husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There,
Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in
a wooden bowl! When the family glanced in Grandfather’s
direction, sometime he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still,
the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions
when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched
it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with
wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are
you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making
a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow
up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so
struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started
to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both
knew what must be done.
TEXT OVERLAY: reflective questions That evening the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently led
him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate
every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband
nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk
spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

Now, ask yourself, how do I show my love and appreciation for my

family? (PAUSE) How do I repay the sacrifices our individual family
does for me? (PAUSE) When I will be reincarnated, will I choose to

We your teachers would love to know your answers on my

question so write them on a piece of paper and submit it together
with your modules during the retrieval of your materials.
CBB
Always remember, family is important because it provides love,
support, and framework of values to each of its members. It is
where we share life’s joy and sorrow which provides setting for
personal growth. It is our treasure, forever.

That will be all for today and expect more interesting discussions to
be aired on our next episodes. Do not forget to prioritize your
safety and your family as well in this time of pandemic. Again, I am
your teacher on TV, Teacher Jennyrose V. Enril. Always remember,
here in SDO Isabela, no learner will be left behind. See you next
meeting and have a good day ahead! God bless everyone!
