Subject: Technology and Livelihood Education-ICT

Grade Level: Grade 8

Objective: To identify the elements of flowchart

Learning across curriculum:

1) Math - Understanding the sequence of steps in solving a math problem connects


to the elements of flowchart, as flowcharts also represent a sequence of actions or
steps.

2) English - Analyzing the structure of a story or narrative can be related to


identifying the elements of flowchart, as both involve understanding the logical flow
of information or events.

3) Science - Investigating cause and effect relationships in scientific experiments can


be connected to flowcharts, as flowcharts can represent the logical flow of cause and
effect relationships.

Review Motivation:

1) Teaching Strategy: Interactive Quizzes

Instructional Materials: Quiz questions related to flowchart elements

- Students will be motivated to participate and answer quiz questions to test their
knowledge and understanding of flowchart elements.

2) Teaching Strategy: Picture Analysis

Instructional Materials: Pictures of flowcharts with missing elements

- Students will be engaged in analyzing pictures of flowcharts and identifying the


missing elements, fostering their curiosity and critical thinking skills.

3) Teaching Strategy: Real-Life Scenario


Instructional Materials: Scenarios related to flowchart elements

- Students will be presented with real-life scenarios where flowcharts are used,
allowing them to see the practical application and relevance of identifying flowchart
elements.

Activity 1: Flowchart Matching

Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning

Materials: Flowchart cards with elements written on them

Significance: This activity aims to reinforce the identification of flowchart elements


through a collaborative and interactive approach.

Instructions:

1) Divide the class into small groups.

2) Distribute the flowchart cards to each group.

3) In each group, students will work together to match the correct flowchart element
with its corresponding description.

Rubric:

- Correct matches: 5 pts.

- Incorrect matches: 0 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) What is the purpose of a flowchart?

2) How can flowchart elements help in understanding a process?

3) Can a flowchart have multiple starting points? Why or why not?

Activity 2: Flowchart Creation


Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning

Materials: Chart paper, markers, sticky notes

Significance: This activity allows students to apply their understanding of flowchart


elements by creating their own flowcharts.

Instructions:

1) In pairs or small groups, students will choose a process or procedure to represent


using a flowchart.

2) Using the chart paper and markers, students will create a flowchart that includes
the necessary elements.

3) Students will use sticky notes to label each element and explain its function.

Rubric:

- Correct use of flowchart elements: 5 pts.

- Clear and logical flow of the process: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) Why is it important to include all the necessary elements in a flowchart?

2) How can a flowchart help in communicating a process to others?

3) What challenges did you encounter in creating your flowchart?

Activity 3: Flowchart Analysis

Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning

Materials: Flowchart examples from different industries

Significance: This activity encourages students to analyze and interpret flowcharts


from various fields, enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Instructions:

1) Provide students with flowchart examples from different industries.

2) In pairs or small groups, students will analyze the flowcharts and identify the
elements present.

3) Students will discuss the significance of each element in the context of the
industry it belongs to.

Rubric:

- Correct identification of flowchart elements: 5 pts.

- Clear explanation of the significance of each element: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) How can flowchart elements vary depending on the industry or field?

2) What insights did you gain from analyzing flowcharts from different industries?

3) How can flowchart analysis help in understanding complex processes?

ANALYSIS:

Activity 1 - Flowchart Matching: This activity allows students to practice identifying


flowchart elements by matching them with their descriptions. It helps students
recognize the importance of each element in understanding a process.

Activity 2 - Flowchart Creation: This activity requires students to apply their


understanding of flowchart elements by creating their own flowcharts. It assesses
their ability to organize and represent a process using flowchart elements.

Activity 3 - Flowchart Analysis: This activity promotes critical thinking as students


analyze and interpret flowcharts from different industries. It helps them understand
the variability of flowchart elements across different fields.
ABSTRACTION:

The main point of the objective, to identify the elements of flowchart, is to understand
how flowcharts represent the logical flow of a process. By identifying the elements,
such as start and end points, decisions, and actions, students can grasp the
structure and sequence of a process. This understanding can deepen students'
knowledge of other subjects, such as math, English, and science, as they encounter
similar concepts of logical flow and sequence.

APPLICATION:

Task 1 - Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning

Task: Students will choose a real-life problem or challenge and create a flowchart to
represent the steps needed to solve it. This task allows students to apply their
understanding of flowchart elements to practical situations.

Task 2 - Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning

Task: Students will visit a local business or organization and observe their
processes. They will then create a flowchart to represent one of the observed
processes. This task provides students with a hands-on experience of flowchart
application in real-life scenarios.

ASSESSMENT:

Teaching Strategy: Differentiation

Instructional Materials: Assessment questions related to flowchart elements

Question 1: Explain the purpose of a decision symbol in a flowchart. (Direct


Instruction)

Question 2: How can flowchart elements help in troubleshooting a process?


(Problem-Based Learning)
Question 3: Describe a situation where a flowchart can be used to improve
efficiency in a business or organization. (Case Studies)

Assignment:

1) Teaching Strategy: Flipped Classroom

Overview for the teacher: Students will research and watch online tutorials on
creating flowcharts. They will then create a flowchart to represent a step-by-step
guide on a topic of their choice.

Assessment question: Create a flowchart to represent the process of making a


sandwich, including all the necessary elements.

2) Teaching Strategy: Think-Pair-Share

Overview for the teacher: Students will individually research and find examples of
flowcharts used in real-life situations. They will then pair up and discuss the
significance of the flowcharts they found.

Assessment question: Find a flowchart used in a specific industry or field. Explain


the importance of each element in the flowchart and how it contributes to the overall
process.

Note: The rubrics, assessment questions, and instructional materials provided are
just examples. Teachers can modify and adapt them based on their specific
classroom needs and resources.
