Lesson 2: Arts and Crafts from Highland Luzon
I. Introduction:
Have you ever been to the Summer Capital of the Philippines? Baguio City is part of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR),
home to the various mountain tribes of the country. CAR is famous, not only for its breath- taking sceneries but also for the
unique ethnic arts and crafts produced by the Cordillera people.
II. Objectives:
 Identify the arts and crafts from highland Luzon;
 Recognize the characteristics of arts and crafts in specific areas of highland Luzon; and
 Integrate the design and form of highland artifacts and objects in making artworks..
III. Lesson Proper:
Attire, Fabric, and Tapestries
The tribes in the Cordillera region are known for their colourful hand-woven textiles. Because of the cold weather experienced in
the highlands, they weave their own blankets, linen, and clothing with thick fibers.
The ikat (an Indonesian word meaning (to bind together) is the woven textile fabric of the Ifugaos. Its design is commonly
characterized by white and diamond stripes woven in an elaborate pattern.
Kalinga-Apayao is known for its intricate hand-woven textiles designed with geometric patterns and natural symbols. The usual
attire of men residing in the Cordillera is a loincloth, or G-string (bahag).
Arts and Crafts
a. Basketry and Woven Crafts
Basketry is one of the most well-known crafts from the Cordillera region. The baskets made in highland Luzon are usually made of
bamboo, rattan, and straw.
b. Pottery
The Bontoc tribe is known for pottery. They make practical objects such as water vessels, plates, and cups that they use in their
everyday lives.
Accessories and Body Ornaments
The tribes in the Mt. Province are known for making fashion accessories. The most noted jewelry that they make is the filigree
jewelry. Filigree is an ornamental work of fine goldor silver that is formed into an intricate design.
Architecture
The architectural structure in highland Luzon is similar with that found in the lowlands. For instance, the home of the Ifugao’s
resembles the design of the bahay kubo; its only difference is that it is windowless and has thicker thatch to protect them from
the cold weather in the mountains.
The people of highlands also consider the cold temperature in their area in the architectural design of their homes. The Ivatans
from Batanes build their homes to adapt to the extreme weather conditions that they experience. A pampet, or roof net, is put
over the roof of these homes and tied to trees or stones to secure the roof during the stormy weather.
Sculpture. The highland Luzon is widely composed of rice fields. Hence, rice has become the center of their culture and, as such, is
greatly reflected in their art forms.
The bulul of the Ifugao tribe is a wooden sculpture which is placed in pairs alongside rice granaries.

Lesson 2: Benefits of Engaging in Physical Activities
I. Introduction:
What kind of sport do you usually engage in? Are you fit enough to participate in your chosen sport? Do you feel
confident enough about your physical fitness?

II. Objectives:
 Learn to set goals to become fit;
 Identify conditioning exercises; and
 Execute conditioning exercises properly.
III. Lesson Proper:
With the onset of modern technology, people are enjoying more the comforts of a physically
stress-free life. Instead of walking to near distances, people prefer to take the tricycle. The escalator,
walkalator, and the elevator are also modern alternatives to walking several distances or climbing up a
plight of stairs. Instead of the manual washing of clothes, housewives now enjoy the more convenient
washing machines where clothes are laundered and rinsed with just the push of several buttons. Even
watching TV which needs very minimal movements is made even easier with the use of remote control
devices. Hence, TV users need not stand anymore to switch channels or to put the TV on or off. What a
convenient life for those who can afford to pay for these technological conveniences!
But are all these conveniences good for our physical health? As modern technology advances,
people are inclined to exert less and less physical efforts. Technology may be the answer to man’s
clamour for a comfortable life, but these gadgets and innovations are taking away the opportunities to
develop muscle energy.
Beneficial Effects of Physical Fitness
 Regular physical activity improves one’s health and well-being, regardless of age. In fact, people who are
more inclined to physical activities and outdoor sports are less prone to muscle debilitation when they
approach their senior years.
A. Physical Wellness
Regular physical activity helps you attain good physical fitness. It strengthens your bones and
muscles. It keeps your body trim. Physical activity improves your coordination or your ability to
perform complicated muscle movements.
B. Sound Mental and Emotional Health
How do you describe your feeling after an exercise? Isn’t it that you feel warm? You perspire a
lot. You feel your heart thumping fast, and your blood circulates faster in your body. You feel very
active and high in spirit. Even your mood is all high. You feel happy and exerted; and your energy level
increased.
C. Improved Family and Social Relationship
Engaging in physical activities provides opportunity for you to meet new acquaintances and
enjoy friendships. When you participate in any physical activity, you may be around people with the
same interest as you have. Many of the people you meet may have good influences on your fitness,
and most likely motivate you to keep on participating.

Lesson 2: Stages of Growth and Development
I. Introduction:
All individuals grow, develop, and age. As you age, you go through a series of life stages. The life cycle consists of
the different stages of growing, developing, and aging. In your personal opinion, which stage of the human life is the most
important?

II. Objectives:
 Describe developmental milestones as one grows; and
 Develop skills in facing each stage of life.
III. Lesson Proper:
In this lesson, you will learn about the many changes that await you. The following are the stages of
human life cycle.

1. Pre-birth: Potential – The child who has not yet been born could become anything – a Michelangelo, a
Shakespeare, a Martin Luther King – and thus holds for all of humanity the principle of what we all may yet
become in our lives.

2. Birth: Hope – When a child is born, it in stills in its parents and other caregivers a sense of optimism; a sense
that this new life may bring something new and special into the world. Hence, the new born represents the
sense of hope that we all nourish inside of ourselves to make the world a better place.

3. Infancy (Ages 0-1): Vitality – The infant is a vibrant and seemingly unlimited source of energy. Babies thus
represent the inner dynamo of humanity, ever fuelling the fires of the human life cycle with new channels of
psychic power.
4. Early Childhood (Ages 1-3): Playfulness – When young children play, they recreate the world
anew. They take what is and combine it with the what is possible to fashion events that have never been seen
before in the history of the world. As such, they embody the principle of innovation and transformation that
underlies every single creative act that has occurred in the course of civilization.

5. Middle Childhood (Ages 3-6): Imagination – In middle childhood, the sense of an inner subjective self develops
for the first time, and this self is alive with images taken in from the outer world, and brought up from the
depths of the unconscious. This imagination serves as a source of creative inspiration in later life for artists,
writers, scientists, and anyone else who finds their days and nights enriched for having nurtured a deep inner
life.

6. Late Childhood (Ages 6-12): Ingenuity – Older children have acquired a wide range of social and technical skills
that enable them to come up with marvelous strategies and inventive solutions for dealing with the increasing
pressures that society places on them. This principle of ingenuity lives on in that part of ourselves that ever
seeks new ways to solve practical problems and cope with everyday responsibilities.

7. Adolescence (Ages 12-18): Passion – The biological event of puberty unleashes a powerful set of changes in
the adolescent body that reflect themselves in a teenager’s sexual, emotional, cultural, and/or spiritual
passion. Adolescence passion thus represents a significant touchstone for anyone who is seeking to reconnect
with their deepest inner zeal for life.

8. Early Adulthood (Ages 18-35): Enterprise – It takes enterprise for young adults to accomplish their many
responsibilities, including finding a home and mate, establishing a family or circle of friends, and/or getting a
good job. This principle of enterprise thus serves us at any stage of life when we need to go out into the world
and make our mark.
 9. Midlife (Ages 35-50): Contemplation – After many years in young adulthood of following society’s scripts for
creating a life, people in midlife often take a break from worldly responsibilities to reflect upon the deeper
meaning of their lives, the better to forge ahead with new understanding. This element of contemplation
represents an important resource that we can all draw upon to deepen and enrich our lives at any age.

10. Mature Adulthood (Ages 50-80): Benevolence – Those in mature adulthood have raised families,
established themselves in their work life, and become contributors to the betterment of society through
volunteerism, mentorships, and other forms of philanthropy. All of humanity benefits from their
benevolence. Moreover, we all can learn from their example to give more of ourselves to others.

11. Late Adulthood (Age 80+): Wisdom – Those with long lives have acquired a rich repository of experiences that
they can use to help guide others. Elders thus represent the source of wisdom that exists in each of us,
helping us to avoid the mistakes of the past while reaping the benefits of life’s lessons.

12. Death & Dying: Life – Those in our lives who are dying, or who have died, teach us about the value of living.
They remind us not to take our lives for granted, but to live each moment of life to its fullest, and to
remember that our own small lives form of a part of a greater whole.
