V. Lesson Development

A. GAME: Maze
1. Discover how long it will take you to reach the end of this maze.
2. Use a timer/stopwatch and record your time.
 B. Discussion (Recitation Time)
1. How did you feel doing the activity? Explain your answer.
2. Did it take you long to solve the maze? Why do you think so?
3. What did you learn from the activity? Explain your answer.
4. Points to ponder: Solving the maze looks easy to do. But as we go along the
puzzle, we experience some difficulties in deciding which way to go. Some of us may
solve the puzzle quickly; others may take a longer time to solve it.

C. Processing (Recitation Time)

1. We experience different feelings as we go into the maze. Some feel excited,

eager, determined, interested, enthusiastic, inspired, challenged, optimistic,
and confident. Others feel angry, irritated, impatient, disappointed,
discouraged, confused, upset, and dissatisfied. Solving the maze enabled us to
learn something important about life and about ourselves.

2. All people aspire to have a good future. We all believe that life is beautiful and
we like to live it well. But life is not that easy and simple. We are lucky if we have the means
and the determination to live it well. Success in life is everyone’s goal. We feel inspired to go on
when we achieve something. We are confident that we can do something more. We are eager to
face anything that life has to offer even those that are challenging.

3. We feel unfortunate when our problems are simple ones and easy to solve.
Others, however, experience very difficult problems which make them hopeless. Our maze
activity taught us a lesson – that we have to make decisions and deal with problems that come
our way. We have to face life’s challenges with patience and perseverance.

4. Patience is a virtue of enduring without complaining. It is a value exercising

forbearance towards the faults and infirmities of others. A person who is patient does not
complain if things do not happen the way he or she wants them to be. In life, we go through a lot
of adversities. A patient person tries to do all the best he or she can and does not give up easily.

5. Perseverance is steadfastness with hope. It is the resolve or determination to

finish what you have started. It is based on an attitude of confidence. It is patience and
determination to reach the goals or goals that we have set in our life. It is being convinced that
the work we are going to do is important in our life and could benefit many people around us.

VI. Exploratory Activities

A. Seatwork. Who is patient? Who is persevering?

4. John attends team practices dutifully in order to prepare for the tournament.
 5. Kiko stops doing his science project because it is too hard to do.

answer.

5. When my lessons in school are too difficult, .

b. I will just ask my tutor to answer all my assignments

B. Sharing Time: Are you a patient person?

1. Pupils get a partner and answer the following questions:
a. What makes you lose your patience?
b. How can you remedy such impatience?
c. Who among the members of your family are patient?
Cite situations to prove your answer.

C. Reinforcing concepts

1. Motto of the 18th Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan: “The most important
thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part; just as the most important thing in life
is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is …to have fought well.” This is why the
runners in a track and field game run the entire course even if someone has already reached the
finish line. They are determined to give their best even if they do not win.

2. Sadly, perseverance is seldom seen today. Many kids your age often begin
something, and then leave it unfinished. If you want a proof of this, look around your room when
you get home today. Did you find that unfinished writing assignment that already gathered dust,
your list of “Things to Do” that have not been done at all, and the musical instrument or sports
equipment that have not been used for a long time? These are the evidence of lack of
perseverance.

3. Of course, there are times when it is best to quit. When what you are doing is
wrong, for instance, or when continuing the activity would endanger your health and well-being,
then you must stop. But if you quit just because you are already lazy to do it or you are not in the
mood, or you have been criticized, or you have lost interest, then you are not helping yourself. If
you keep on quitting, you will never win.
VII. Closing Activities

Drawing your Ideas. Two Stories about Perseverance.

Direction: Each of the paragraphs below tells a true story on perseverance. Read both, and then answer
the questions at the bottom.

1. You know that bees produce honey. But did you know that in order to produce one tablespoon of
honey, a worker bee makes 4200 trips from flower to flower? This means ten trips a day to the fields
where flowers grow. Each trip lasts an average of 20 minutes, during which time the bee has to visit about
400 flowers. If there is no source of nectar nearby, a worker bee will fly as far as 8 miles or almost 13
kilometers away from the hive, in search for it.

2. Thomas Alva Edison invented the light bulb. He went through a lot of difficulties while searching for
an effective filament that would withstand the stress of electric current. He experimented countless times
with countless different materials. Each time a material proved ineffective, he would toss it outside the
window of his workroom. He tested so many different kinds that the rejected materials piled up as high as
the second-story of his house! Finally, on October 21, 1879, after 13 months of repeated failures, he
succeeded in finding the right filament. The result: electric light.

Based on the stories you have read, answer the following questions by making a drawing of your ideas.
Make them on the spaces provided.

1. The bees and Thomas Edison

both have an attitude of
perseverance. What reward did they
get?
2. What might have happened if
Edison gave up after one year of
failures?
3. What does perseverance mean?

4. Why is it important to have an

attitude of perseverance?

5. What do you think would happen

if you follow the examples of the
bees and Thomas Edison?
VIII. Generalization
A. State the concepts, big ideas/understandings you have learned.
Example:
1. Why do I need to fulfill my duties with patience and perseverance? I should
fulfill my duties with patience and perseverance because only those who work hard and
persevere will succeed in life amidst all odds.

IX. Assessments

Note: Some of the assessments may be conducted any time or anywhere in the learning plan for
as long as the knowledge and skills needed are already taught.

A. Game: Testing Your Patience

B. Seatwork: Who is patient? Who is persevering?
C. Group Activity: Drawing your Ideas: Based on the stories you have read, The Bees
and Thomas Edison, answer the questions by making a drawing of your ideas.
