Understood, class? Did you get
my point?

As we go on to our lesson class,

let’s have a group activity.

I will group you into three (3).

Now that you have a group, you
select who will be your leader,
secretary and your reporter.
Then you brainstorm and discuss
the different sections of Article
VII of the 1987 Philippine
Constitution and in a ¼ cartolina
identify the different powers of
the President through a graphic
organizer. Then secretary, please
write the names of the members
at the back of the cartolina.

I will give you 10 minutes to

finish your work. After ten (10)
minutes the reporter from each
group will come forward and
present their work in front of the
class.

Did you understand the

instructions, class?

Then, as you have your group

activity take note of the Yes Ma’am.
following rubrics:

presentation. Each group will be
given 2 minutes to present their
output.

the President?

different powers of the
President is very important, as a
citizen of the Philippines you
have to know what are the
different powers of the
President and its limitation so
that you will not be perceived or
outwitted by any order of the
President.
