    MODULE 1
    Lesson Title:
    Knowing My Country: Our
    Country

    Lesson Objective:
    At the end of the lesson, I
    should be able to understand
    the concept of a country.
    Instruction to Students:

    Divide the class into five groups. Assign someone from each
    group to supervise. Each group must share as many ideas as
    they can about our country, the Philippines through a
    concept map which is attached below. At the center of the
    concept map will be the main topic, the Philippines. Write the
    ideas in the concept map on a whole sheet of paper. Once
    they’re done, call someone from the group to share their
    ideas with the class.
    TO PONDER:

    1. What is a country?
    2.What makes a country?
    3.What makes the Philippines a
    country?
    What are the 4 things that make a country?

    These are a settled population, a defined territory,


    government and the ability to enter into relations with
    other states. These were originally set out in the 1933
    Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of
    States. Even now, these are the benchmarks used by the
    UN when judging whether to admit a new member.
    Looking at the world map, you would see a lot of
    countries. These countries are part of a continent. Like
    Asia, there are many countries in it. They are divided by
    regions. One of which is the Southeast Asian region
    where the Philippines is a member-country.

    Our country, the Philippines, has 17 regions with


    provinces, towns, cities and communities. Filipinos in
    each region have distinct culture and language, but love
    for the country dominates whatever differences exist.
    Why is the Philippines a country with a diverse culture?
    ● 17 regions;
    ● One archipelago;
    ● 7,641 islands (The Philippines is an archipelago of 7,641
    islands that are categorized broadly under the three
    main geographical divisions from north to south:
    Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.)
    ● Lesser Islands during high tides;
    ● Indigenous people around and
    ● Culturally-diversified
    “What makes a country?
    Is it the same as a state?
    What about a nation?”
    These three words have different meanings but sometimes, the
    words, “country” and “state” are used interchangeably.

    A country is a self-governing political entity or a region or land


    defined by geographical features and political boundaries, while a
    nation refers to the group of people who shares the same culture,
    language, institutions, and history. A country is a state if it has
    sovereignty over its territory and population.
