III. GUIDE QUESTIONS/ACTIVITY

Activity: MY PERSONAL TIMELINE

A personal timeline portrays the influential events and happenings of a person’s

life so that he can understand where he has gone wrong and right in the past. It helps to
plan the future in a better constructive way.

Using a bond paper, write the major events in your life and the significant people
in your life. You may add your age, specific dates and places. You may draw the
timeline horizontally, vertically, diagonally or even using ups and down depending on
your imagination. Be creative in your representations. You may also use symbols,
figures and drawings. Think of a title for your personal timeline.

You may use crayons or art materials depending on the available resources or
just a simple paper and pen may be fine. You can also go for the personal timeline
website template samples available online. The link is

Portfolio Output No. 5: My Personal Timeline with Reflection

Write about your Personal Timeline which you made in class. Answer the

2. Identify the turning points in your timeline. What were the thoughts, feelings and
actions that you experienced?
3. Who are/were the most significant people in your life? How did they influence you?

IV. LESSON PROPER

Reading: DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES

Human Development focuses on human growth and changes across the

lifespan, including physical, cognitive, social, intellectual, perceptual, personality and
emotional growth.

The study of human developmental stages is essential to understanding how

humans learn, mature and adapt. Throughout their lives, humans go through various
stages of development.

The human being is either in a state of growth or decline, but either condition
imparts change. Some aspects of our life change very little over time, are consistent.
Other aspects change dramatically. By understanding these changes, we can better
respond and plan ahead effectively.

Developmental Stage Characteristics

1. Pre-natal Age when hereditary endowments and sex are fixed and
(Conception to birth) all body features, both external and internal are developed/
2. Infancy Foundation age when basic behavior are organized and
(Birth to 2 years) many ontogenetic maturation skills are developed.
3. Early Childhood Pre-gang age, exploratory, and questioning.
(2 to 6 years) Language and Elementary reasoning are
acquired and initial socialization is experienced
4. Late Childhood Gang and creativity age when self-help skills, social skills
(6 to 12 years) school skills, and play are developed.
5. Adolescence Transition age from childhood to adulthood when sex
(puberty to 18 years) maturation and rapid physical development occur resulting to
to changes in ways of feeling, thinking and acting
6. Early Adulthood Age of adjustment to new patterns of life and roles such as
(18 to 40 years) spouse, parent and breadwinner
7. Middle Age Transition age when adjustments to initial physical and
(40 years to retirement) mental decline are experienced.
8. Old Age Retirement age when increasingly rapid physical and mental
(Retirement to death) decline are experienced

Reading: HAVIGHURST`S DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS DURING THE LIFE

SPAN

Robert J. Havighurst elaborated on the Developmental Tasks Theory in the most

systematic and extensive manner. His main assertion is that development is continuous
throughout the entire lifespan, occurring in stages, where the individual moves from one
stage to the next by means of successful resolution of problems or performance of
developmental tasks. These tasks are those that are typically encountered by most
people in the culture where the individual belongs. If the person successfully
accomplishes and masters the developmental task, he feels pride and satisfaction, and
consequently earns his community or society’s approval. This success provides a sound
foundation which allows the individual to accomplish tasks to be encountered at later
stages. Conversely, if the individual is not successful at accomplishing a task, he is
unhappy and is not accorded the desired approval by society, resulting in the
subsequent experience of difficulty when faced with succeeding developmental tasks.
This theory presents the individual as an active learner who continually interacts with a
similarly active social environment.

Havighurst proposed a bio psychosocial model of development, wherein the

developmental tasks at each stage are influenced by the individual’s biology
(physiological maturation and genetic makeup), his psychology (personal values and
goals) and sociology (specific culture to which the individual belongs).

yourself from 1-10 (10 as the highest) on whether you have accomplished those
expected tasks.

Activity: HOW MINDFUL AM I?

For each of the following situations, decide whether the person followed these
guidelines for mindful speech:
Is what I want to say True?
Is what I want to say Helpful?
Am I the best one to say it?
Is it necessary to say it Now?
Is it Kind to this person and others?
[THINK definition from Mindfulness for Teen Anxiety by Dr. Christopher Willard]

In your journal, for each number, mark √ for yes, X for no, or ? if you’re not sure.
There could be more than one 'correct' answer. The purpose of this activity is to reflect
on the situations and whether you've witnessed or experienced something similar in
your own life.

1. I did really well on an exam. I said to my friends, “I got the top score. What did you
get?”
Did I T.H.I.N.K. before I spoke? ____T H I N K

2. One of my friends was bragging about getting a good score on a test, and I didn't
want to tell him I failed. I said, "Congratulations!" then started talking about something
else.

3. People kept telling me about this strange color Mrs. Jenkins dyed her hair. When I
saw her, I didn't think it looked that bad, so I told her, “Your hair’s not as weird as
everyone says it is.”

Reading: LIVING MINDFULLY

Living mindfully is like being an artist: you need the right tools to practice your
craft, and you need to constantly refine your technique to achieve your creative
potential. In the same way, using the present moment tools below will help you to hone
a consistent mindfulness practice that will in time lead to a more aware, compassionate
and fulfilling way of life.

Tool 1: Breathe Mindfully. Use your breath as an anchor to still your mind and bring
your focus back to the present moment.

Tool 2: Listen Deeply. Listen with intention; let others fully express themselves and
focus on understanding how they think and feel.

Tool 3: Cultivate Insight. See life as it is, allowing each experience to be an opportunity
for learning.
Tool 4: Practice Compassion. Consider the thoughts and feelings of others and let
tenderness, kindness and empathy be your guides.

breathe, and choose a skillful response based on thoughtful speech and non-
violence under every condition.
