The similarities that we have is we really give importance to both of our parents because they
mean a lot to us, they are our strengths and weaknesses in life. We also have the same
understanding on what history is, besides we respect the cultures and beliefs that we have. Both
of us are trying to decipher in where we came from, who’s our ancestors, what are they doing in
everyday life and etc.

background or past that we have.

2. What were the challenges you had encounter along the process?

 ACTIVITIES

4. Write a reflection paper of 200-words on the values of the study of History to you as a
student and as a Filipino

Studying history enables us to develop better understanding of the world in which we live. Building
knowledge and understanding of historical events and trends, especially of the past century, enables us to
develop a much greater appreciation for current events today. It is important because it allows us to make
more sense of the current world to offer reasonable predictions of what will happen next in today’s world.
It easy for us to decipher why some rules exist in the modern world. Way back when I was a kid in my
childhood school days, I thought history class was a drag. I think history is just seemed like a jumble of
names, and dates attached to events, and I ask myself what was the point of learning it at all? The times
goes by, I didn’t know that history was one of the most important subjects that I should learn. History
helps me to understand who I am, to develop my sense of self, it tells me where my ancestors came from
and who they were. Most importantly of all, it gives me the ability to spot the legacies of my parents in
terms of culture, beliefs, or legacies that I may have inherited from them.

1. Activity 2 Drawing out Conclusions or Inferences:

Task: Form groups of five members. Pause for a few minutes and think about or reflect on your past. Has
your past influenced you in one way or another? How does your past shape your identity and behavior as a
Filipino student? Discuss your answers with your group mates and draw out conclusions or inferences on
the importance and relevance of history based on the impact of personal experiences. Write your
conclusions or Inferences in the blank scroll below. Same Rubrics above will be used in judging your
group’s Inferences on the relevance and importance of History.

Yes, my past has definitely influenced me and I like to think that it’s all good. Even bad
experiences in the past we can have positive effects on our lives if we learn and grow
from those experiences. Since I was young the lack of parental behavior convinced me if I
wanted anything to be done it was up to me. I was just 8 years old I started to take care
of my basic needs and wash and iron my clothes and clean my shoes for the following
days to wear and be presentable for school. Also, I save part of my lunch money to save
for my necessities in school. It shaped me to become independent at a young age and
thrive to make good decisions for myself. A good childhood will make you want to be a
good and a bad one will put you a situation of knowing what is right or wrong. In most
situations you should use your past to learn so you can repeat your success or
achievements and minimize your failures.
B. Distinction between Primary and Secondary Source

INTENDED LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this lesson, the students are expected to:

1. evaluate primary sources in terms of credibility, authenticity, and provenance

2. differentiate primary and secondary sources of historical records; and possible repositories of
primary sources
3. show appreciation on the importance of determining credibility, authenticity, and provenance in
using primary resources

TO DO LIST
1. Using any social media site, ask your friends to share opinions on whether President Rodrigo
Duterte is an elite president or a populist president, afterwards, screenshot, print, cut and stick five
responses that can either be primary or secondary sources in the box provided. Indicate whether
the response is a primary or secondary source of information. Justify why each response is primary
or secondary source.
Response 1 Response 2 Response 3

SECONDARY SOURCE SECONDARY SOURCE SECONDARY SOURCE

2. How did you find the activity? What are sources? How important are the sources in recording historical
event?

The activity is interesting because it talks about the 2 types of source which is primary source and
secondary source. It is important to us on how are we going to get information in a various source that we
have such as books, articles, websites and etc., we also need to make sure that it is accurate and have
evidence that will help to have a better works.

 The three (3) things that I significantly learn from the readings are …

1. History is an opportunity to hone research skills. Much of the work in a history class consists of
finding information and how it fits into a larger narrative. Figuring out what are the central
themes and which details will help to paint a complete picture.
2. History encourages people to understand the perspective that different people bring to their
analysis and understanding why people interpret events in a particular way.
3. History gives us the opportunity to learn from past mistakes and help us understand many
reasons why people may behave the way they do. As a result, it helps us become more
compassionate as people and more impartial as decision makers

 The three (3) things that are still unclear to me are …

Upon reading the long reading material, there is no doubts or unclear information because almost
all the related ideas and concepts are stated clearly
  The three (3 ) questions that I want to ask about the readings are.

Upon reading the long reading material, I have no a question to ask because almost all the related
ideas and concepts are stated clearly

3. Write a Reflection Paper 0f 50-100 words on the importance of credibility, authenticity and
provenance in their lives using primary sources.

Primary sources help me as a student relate in a personal way to events of the past and promote a
deeper understanding of history as a series of human events. Because primary sources are incomplete
snippets of history, each one represents a mystery that students can only explore further by finding new
pieces of evidence. Therefore, as a student it is important for me to look for a credibility, authenticity and
provenance primary source that provide me a raw information of first-hand evidence and it will help me to
guide or gives me a direct access to the subject of my hypothesis research in the near future.

SUPPLEMENTAL CONTENT
Read the following scenarios and classify the sources discovered as primary, secondary or tertiary sources.
Write your answer on the space provided.

Juan was exploring the library in his new school in Manila. He wanted to study the history of Calamba,
Laguna during the nineteenth century. In one of the books, he saw an old photograph of a woman standing
in front of an old church, clipped among the pages. At the back of the photo was a fine inscription that
says” Kalamba 19 de Junio 1861”

Is the photograph primary, secondary or a tertiary source? Justify your answer

I believe Photograph is primary source because its present visual record of a moment in time it also
provides the original material as evidence.

It was Angela’s first day in her first-year college in a big university. Her excitement made her come to class
unusually early and she found their classroom empty. She explored the classroom and sat at the teachers
table. She looked at the table drawer and saw a book entitled U.G. An Underground Tale: The Journey of
Edgar Jopson and the first Quarter Storm Generation. She started reading the book and realized that it was
a biography of a student leader turned political activist during the time of Ferdinand Marcos. The author
used interviews with friends and family of Jopson, and other primary documents related to his works and
life.

Is the book a primary, secondary, or tertiary source? Explain your answer.

For me book is a secondary source because it described information obtained from other sources
and combine information to create a new publish book’s

MOVIE

MIRCAL IN CELL NO. 7

It is a heart-warming tales that depicts the relationship between a 6-year-old girl and her mentally challenged
father who’s accuse and convicted for a crime he didn’t commit. This will make viewers laugh and cry. The character
looks eccentric yet enchanting thanks to their mesmerizing performance. It’s satisfying family drama that will leave
most of its viewers with a smile on their face and tears in their eyes. After I have watched this movie I’m with tears
during its heartbreaking final moments.

NOVEL

GRATE EXPECTATIONS
Great expectation is a novel by Charles Dickens that was first published in 1860. The theme are
affection, loyalty, and conscience are more important than social advancement, wealth and class. The young
Pip for example, he shows kindness to the convict Magwitch. It tells us that kindness is one of the most
important traits a human being can exhibit. It’s a work of friction with plot characters.

POEM

LET CHANGE BE YOUR FRIEND

This poem is about change it encourage you to embrace change rather than fighting for it. Change
affects us all and over a lifetime we see many transformations of not only ourselves and those around us but
of things, policies and practices. This reminds me that adjustments are necessary for progress to be made
even though at times we may not like it, we have to learn embrace things as they evolve.

MUSIC

THE POWER OF LOVE

It’s a song co-written and originally recorded by American singer Jennifer Rush in 1984. There is no
great power than love. Love has the ability to heal the world. Love is pure and decent, and true. When love
takes hold of you, resistance is futile. It has the capacity to heal old wounds and cleanse our mind from any
negativity that does not serves us.

Write a reflection paper regarding the said documentary.

The Birth of Venus is one of the most famous and important artworks by Sandro Botticelli.
This painting believed to be done during the Renaissance. Venus, The Goddess of love, it is presented
to the audience at the very exact moment of her birth, portrayed gracefully and awkwardly hiding
her nakedness. Instead of Venus being presented as an infant, Botticelli decided to give us a full
grown of beautiful version of her. At the time women were never seen naked in a Renaissance
painting. The only time the naked female form was presented was in paintings of Eve. Therefore, in a
sense, this painting really marks the beginning of humankind entering the modern era.

The theme of the Birth of Venus was taken from the writings of the ancient poem, Homer.
According to the traditional account, after Venus was born, she rode on a seashell and sea foam to
the island of Cythera. In the painting we see here, Venus is prominently depicted in the center, born
out of the foam as she rides to shore.

On Venus’s left side we see a barefooted woman waiting for her with a pink pattemed cloak
with flowers to cover the naked body of Venus. She is known as the Goddess of the seasons, most
likely known as spring. By analyzing her body’s position, we can see that she’s somewhat in a hurry
to cover Venus’s nakedness.

On Venus’s right side we see Zephyrus, The God of The West Winds appears on the right side
of Venus, holding Aura, the spring wind, and together they are blowing Venus to the shore. Zephyrus
is shown here as quite powerful, as he is effortlessly carrying Aura. You can see the gentleness in
Aura face as she is blowing Venus to the shore. The flowers are also there to represent Auras
gentleness and beauty.
