proofs or evidences.
*Very good. Fact is something which can
be verified with evidences and is provable,
observable and measurable. Those are
statements that can be proven by reliable
authority or information such as based on
statistics, scientific law, history book and
others. For example, Ferdinand Marcos is
the former president of the Philippines.
Why do you think its a fact?
*Because it is based in history book and
provable.
*Who among you are friends in the
classroom?
*(The student will raise hand.)
*Can you give two facts about your
friend?
*My friend is tall and handsome.

friend is tall and handsome. How should
we know that he is handsome and tall?
*It is observable.
*Very good. Lets proceed to the meaning
of beliefs. How would you define beliefs.
*Beliefs cannot be proven. It is merely an
opinion about something.
*Very good. Beliefs is a conviction based
on cultural or personal faith, morality, or
values. For example, is there any
evidences that sleeping after taking a bath
during daytime or at night will result to
blindness?
*None.
*But why do you think others do that?
*Because thats what they believe.
*Very good. Always remember that
theres no wrong about beliefs. As human,
we are influenced by culture, history,
environment, or other factors. We should
respect everybodys perspective and
practices in life. Do you understand?
*Yes, maam!
*How about you? Do you have any
practices at home that is consider as
beliefs?
*(The students will answer)
*Thank you for sharing.

 The subject matter is about Facts vs. Beliefs. I started the discussion with a question to
see if they are familiar with different beliefs and practices of Filipinos. For fact, I integrated
science subject in giving example (Anemia is cause by destruction of red blood cells. WebMd).

In the lesson proper, I integrate a constructivist approach where they will give their own
example of facts based on how they will describe their classmates and the beliefs that they have
or practices at home.

For application part, I include more examples of facts and beliefs that has the integration
of religion, history and math. And I use the collaborative approach because I group them into five
groups.

The values integration is respect. Through listening to ones beliefs, they would be able
to understand that people has their own beliefs and we, listener should be able to respect
whatever it is.
