III. Procedure
A. Preliminaries (5 minutes)
Teacher: Good morning, class!
Students: Good morning, Ma’am!
Teacher: Please stand up for our prayer. Juan, kindly lead the prayer.
Students: (Prays)
Teacher: Thank you, Juan. Now, class secretary, who is absent today?
Secretary: No one is absent, Ma’am.
Teacher: That’s great! Before we proceed, please remember our house rules: (1) Listen
attentively, (2) Follow instructions, (3) Participate actively, (4) Speak one at a time. Are
we all clear?
Students: Yes, Ma’am!
B. Motivation (5 minutes)
Teacher: Let’s begin with a short brain teaser to warm up our minds!
Teacher shows a simple puzzle on screen.
Teacher: Who can solve this first?
Students: (Raises hands and answer)
Teacher: Great job! These kinds of puzzles engage different parts of our brain. That’s
what we’re going to learn about today – the Power of the Mind.
C. Analysis (15 minutes)
Teacher: Let’s talk about the three major parts of the brain.
Teacher shows a diagram of the brain.
Teacher: The cerebrum controls our thinking and voluntary movement. The cerebellum
helps with balance. The brainstem keeps us alive by managing our heartbeat and
breathing.
Teacher: Who can repeat the functions of each part?
Students: (Volunteers respond correctly)
Teacher: Now, let’s discuss brain lateralization. The left brain is logical and language-
oriented. The right brain is creative and intuitive.
Teacher: Can you think of tasks that use the left brain?
Student: Solving math problems, Ma’am.
Teacher: Good. How about the right brain?
Student: Drawing and making music.
Teacher: Excellent!
D. Abstraction (10 minutes)
Teacher: Now, I’ll give you a short questionnaire to find out which hemisphere you use
more.
Students answer the questionnaire.
Teacher: Based on your results, what did you discover?
Student: I think I use my right brain more because I like creating things.
Teacher: That’s great insight. Remember, we should aim to develop both sides of the
brain to reach our full potential.
E. Generalization (5 minutes)
Teacher: Let’s summarize what we’ve learned today.
Teacher and Students: (Together) The brain is divided into three major parts. It has two
hemispheres – the left and right. Understanding how we think helps us grow and make
better decisions.
Teacher: Wonderful.
F. Application (10 minutes)
Teacher: For this activity, each group will create a short plan for a mental health project.
Use both logical planning and creative design.
Students work in groups and present their projects.
Teacher: Well done! Notice how you used both sides of your brain? That’s how we grow
and improve.
G. Evaluation (5 minutes)
Teacher: Let’s answer a few questions before we end.
1. Name the three major parts of the brain.
2. Which hemisphere is responsible for creativity?
3. Why is it important to use both sides of your brain?
Students: (Answer each question)
H. Assignment (2 minutes)
Teacher: For your assignment, write a one-week Mindful Observation Journal. Observe
when you use left or right-brain thinking, and reflect on situations where you used both.
