Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preparation (Routine
Activities)

Good morning, class!

How are you feeling today?

Can we all stand for a prayer before we

begin our new lesson today? Good morning, Teachers
We’re fine, ma’am!
Ms. Secretary, do we have an absence
(Students stand up and pray)
today?
Ms. Secretary (Ma’am, I am glad to say
I am glad to hear that. Before anything
that there is no absence today)
else let me introduce myself first. I am
teacher KC and I will be your teacher this
morning.

B. Motivation

So are you ready for our new lesson?

Well, that’s good to know. Our lesson for
today is about World History

Did you already hear about History?
Okay. So why do we need to study the
past?
Very Good, by studying history we would
know the development of the human
being.
But before we start our discussion, I want
you to answer these scrambled letters
written on the board. Raise your hand if
you know the answer.
Yes, we are ready ma’am!
Yes, ma’am, for me it is the study of our
past.
Ma’am, I think studying the past would
give us knowledge about our origins. Like
how humans create.

-Presentation/Discussion of the
topic 
Before we begin, I'd like you to sit
properly and pay close attention to my
discussion. Students, could you lend
me your ears?
Yes, Ma’am
So I ask you earlier about the world
history means.

As you said earlier, we study history to

learn about the past. Yes, it’s correct.
According to Francis Bacon, “Histories
make us wise.” But how do we find those
histories? Information on the past comes
to us because of the experts who study it.
Like detectives or investigative reporters.
Am I right?
These experts of the past avidly study the
evidence. The evidence is found in Yes, Ma’am
written or oral records (legends, books,
documents), or in material relics (pottery,
jewelry, etc).

In general experts on the past may be a

historian or archeologists. A historian
studies “histories” or written records
(documents or books) of the past.
An example of that is the father of history.
Do you know who is the father of the
history class?
Very Good. An example of a historian is Yes, Ma’am. The father of history is
Herodotus, the father of history, Arnold Arnold Toynbee.
Toynbee, a British historian; and Dr.
Gregorio F. Zaide, the “Dean of Filipino
Historians.” Historians write books, teach,
(Students listen attentively)
and work in libraries.
World History is the study of human
civilization from ancient times to the
present. To know world history is to
appreciate the story of God’s goodness to
humanity, from the time of creation to the
coming of Jesus His Son, and the story of
salvation. Because the postmodern world
is interconnected, it is important to know
how different civilizations are connected
to one another. World history shows us
our relationship with God and with each
other in this world.
Let’s proceed to the difference of beliefs
on the origin of life. People have different
beliefs about the origin of life because of
religion, superstition, and of science. The
Christian and Jewish religions both
believe in the story of creation, as told in
the Old Testament. Creation myths and
legends abound in ancient peoples.
Finally, scientists claim an origin theory
called evolution.
