E. Values Integration

For instance, one of your cousins has a low self-esteem due to his/her poor performance at school and envied to his/her classmate who received the highest remarks in the class. As future teachers, how will you motivate your cousin to become an excellent student?

As a future teacher I will give some advice to my cousin on how to become an excellent student. I will tell him that he/she must: Be on time and prepared for the class. Sit in front of the class. Get involved with the lesson and interact with the class materials and the teacher. Turn in all home works and assignments on time or early if he/she can. Take 10 minutes each night per class to review your notes. Go to any extra study groups or meet with your teacher to talk about material that you may be having problems within the class. Allow your curiosity to help you dig deeper into the class.

F. Generalization

What did you learn today?

Ø Excellence is performing one’s task to the highest standard. Ø Perfection is, broadly, a state of completeness and flawlessness. Ø A Perfectionist sets standards beyond reason, never satisfied unless it is perfect, becomes angry or depressed with failure, is obsessed with fear of failure, and sees mistakes as proof of unworthiness, defensive with feedback. Ø A High Achiever sets high standards, enjoys the process as much as the outcome, see failure as experience and learning, construction manager anxiety and fear to benefit, sees mistakes as opportunities, and sees feedback as crucial to growth. Ø To be an excellent person you must: 1. Start being honest to yourself. 2. Be optimistic. 3. Be open to not only teaching others, but learning from them as well. 4. Stick to the decisions you make. 5. Welcome the idea of being part of a team no matter how small or large the task is at hand. 6. Do a job to the best of your ability. 7. Be polite, courteous and have a sense of humor. 8. Always keep the phrase “actions speak louder than words.”

Dr. Jose Rizal: Mga Alaala ng Kabataan

Ang unang alaala ni Rizal, sa kanyang kamusmusan, ay ang masasayang araw niya sa hardin ng kanilang tahanan nang siya ay tatlong taong gulang. Dahil siya ay masakitin at maliit na bata, siya ang alagang-alaga ng kanyang mga magulang. Ipinagpatayo siya ng kanyang ama sa kanilang hardin ng maliit na bahay kubo na mapaglalaruan niya sa araw. Isang mabuti at matandang babae ang inupahan para maging yaya niya. Minsan, kapag naiiwan siyang mag-isa, naglalaro siyang mag-isa o kaya’y pinagmumunimunihan niya ang kagandahan ng kalikasan, Naisulat niya sa kanyang talaarawan na noong tatlong taong gulang siya, pinanonood niya sa kanyang bahay kubo ang paglalaro ng mga ibong kilyawan, maya, maria kapra, martines, at pipit, pinakikinggan nang "buong paghanga" ang matimyas na huni ng mga ibon. Isa pang magandang alaala ni Rizal ay ang araw-araw na pagdarasal nila tuwing Orasyon. Pagdumilim na, kuwento ni Rizal, tinipon ng kanyang ina ang mga anak para makapagdasal na sa Orasyon. Naalala niya ang pagrorosaryo ng pamilya sa mga gabing iniilawan ng mabilog na buwan ang kanilang azotea. Pagkatapos ng rosaryo, nagkukuwento ang yaya sa mga batang Rizal (kasama si Jose) ng mga kuwento tungkol sa engkantada, kuwento ng mga nabaong yaman at punong namumunga ng brilyante, at iba pang kuwento ng kababalaghan. Ang mga malikhaing kuwentong ito ang pumukaw sa interes ni Rizal sa mga alamat at kuwentong bayan. May mga gabing ayaw kumain ng hapunan ni Rizal kaya tinatakot siya ng kanyang yaya sa mga aswang, nuno sa punso, tikbalang, at balbas-saradong Bombay na kukuha sa kanya kung hindi siya maghahapunan. Isa pang alaala niya’y ang paglalakad sa bayan, lalo na kapag maliwanag ang gabi. Kapag kabilugan ng buwan, isinasama siya ng kanyang yaya sa may ilog, kung saan nakatatakot na imahen ang inihuhubog ng mga anino ng puno rito. Sabi ni Rizal: "Dahil ang aking puso ay maraming malulungkot na kaisipan kahit pa musmos ako, natuto akong lumipad sa mga bagwis ng pantasiya sa matataas na rehiyon ng kababalaghan." source: http://www.joserizal.ph/ge04.html

Dr. Jose Rizal: Ang Unang Kalungkutan ng Bayani

Malapit sa isa’t isa ang magkakapatid na Rizal. Tinuruan sila ng kanilang magulang kung paano magmahalan at magtulungan.

Sa mga kapatid na babae, pinakamamahal ni Rizal si Concha (Concepcion). Isang taon ang tanda niya kay Concha. Siya ang kala-kalaro ni Concha at mula sa kapatid ay natutunan niya ang pagmamahal. Ngunit sa kasamaang-palad, namatay si Concha, sanhi ng sakit noong 1865 nang siya at tatlong taong gulang. Si Jose, na tunay na natutuwa sa kapatid ay labis na nalungkot sa pagkamatay nito. "Nang ako ay apat na taong gulang",sabi niya, "namatay ang aking nakababatang kapatid na si Concha, at iyon ang unang pagkakataong lumuha ako dahil sa lungkot at pagmamahal…" Ang pagkamatay ni Concha ang unang kalungkutan niya.
