INTERPERSONAL ACTIVITY

Topic: Art of Judgment

Month: February
GRADE 9
Objectives:
In this activity, students will realize the value of making objective judgments and the negative
consequences of subjective appraisal.

Material Needed:
- Writing materials and paper

Procedures:
1. Before the activity begins, the facilitator will greet the students warmly.
2. The facilitator will introduce the activity called “The Art of Judgment” and explain that this
activity would also be instrumental in making you, as students, realize the effects of your
judgments which are either based on their objective evaluation of their personal biases or
perceptions.
3. Instruct the students that they need a paper and pen for this activity and ask them to fold the
paper into two. The paper will be put or taped on their back and it will be used for the activity.
4. On the left column, students will be asked to write what they like the most or how they
describe their classmates.
5. In the right column, they would write their first impression of their classmates. Allow them to
go around the classroom and write on the paper taped at the back of their classmates. Give
them 4 minutes to accomplish the activity.
6. Once done, instruct students to go back to their proper seats and allow them to read the
words/ statements given by their classmates about them.
7. The facilitator may start calling students to share their thoughts/ how they feel about what
was written in the paper. Encourage students to present in front of the class.

Processing:
1. What are your observations regarding the descriptions on the left column (the person you
like)? How about on the right (first impressions about the person)?
2. Are first impressions always correct? If yes, why? If not, why not?
3. What did you learn from this activity?
4. What are the possible consequences of letting one’s personal biases interfere with one’s
judgment?

Synthesis:
Have you ever received good or bad impressions about yourself? What was the effect on you?

Integration:
How can you apply what you learned in this activity in actual situations?

Closing Remarks:
To end the activity, the facilitator will share the quote from Will Rogers, “Good judgment comes from
experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgments.”
