B. Establishing a purpose for

the lesson Who wants to enumerate the four things in our first activity?
: (The students are raising their hands.)
Yes, (Name of the student) please innumerate all the
things that your classmates have guessed
:1. Socks
2. Backpack
3. School I.D.; and
4. Receipt
Very Good!

And those things are called nouns. What does noun

means? These are?
: (The students are raising their hands.)
Yes, (Name of the student)
: Nouns are used to name a place, things,
an object, a person.
Very Good!

Now that we have identified them as nouns specifically

tangible nouns; when we say tangible nouns, these are
nouns that is real and can be touch physically. Can we
consider them as ideas or a concept?
: No Ma’am, because as you have said
earlier that tangible nouns are things that
we can touch. So, it is not an example of
an idea.
Good, if those tangible things can be touch then what do
we mean by a concept?

Anyone?
: (The students are raising their hands.)
Yes, (Name of the student) what do we mean by a
concept? : A concept is an idea we have in our
minds and cannot be touch.

Very Good, When we say concept these are the things that
stuck in our minds that can be done in reality to be tangible
or just stays in our mind as a memory.

Who wants to read the definition of a concept?

particulars; a construct.
As the definition have said a concept is only an idea, so we
cannot just imagine to have a good grades and our grades
will be as high as ninety. What do we do when we want to
have a high grade?
Anyone? None? I will call a random student in your class
list if no one wants to answer.
Yes, (Name of the student) what do you need to do to
boost up you grade?
: Ma’am we need to study hard and
comply to our teachers.
Yes very good! Your grades will not be boost if you will just
imagine to have a high grade, you need to work for it and
make it a reality.
Another is if you want to have new phone, you won’t just
imagine that you have a new phone without buying one.
Do you understand the meaning of a concept with those
given definitions and examples? Is concept clear to you
now? : Yes, Ma’am
After we have understood the meaning of a concept.
We are now going to define what we mean by a concept
paper. Any idea what do we mean by a concept paper?
: (The students are raising their hands.)
Yes, (Name of the student)
: It is a discussion of ideas that is written in
paper Ma’am.
Good, a concept paper is the discussion of your ideas. In
here we write what we mean by this and that. We also write
in our concept paper the ideas we have or the plans we
have to make it real.
(Name of the student) Please read the first meaning of a
concept paper.
: The concept paper defines an idea or a
concept and explains its essence in order
to clarify the “whatness” of that idea or
concept. It answers the questions: what is
it and about it (Dadufalza 1996:183).
Next, who wants to volunteer?
: (The students are raising their hands.)
Yes, (Name of the student)
: A concept paper starts with a definition,
either formal or informal, of the term or the
concept and proceeds with an expanded
definition and an analytic description of the
aspects of the concept.
Thank you, is concept paper clear?
: Yes, Ma’am
Now that a concept paper is clear, I will present to you an
example of a concept paper.
(Present a concept paper)
According to the example, what is the topic or the idea that

and practicing new skills #1
E. Discussing new concepts
is discussed in the concept paper that I have presented to
you?
Please raise your hand if you want to recite.
: (The students are raising their hands.)
Yes, (Name of the student)
: The idea being discussed is about the
personal concept of a successful life of the
author.
Yes, very good the discussion is about how the author
narrates the hardship that they went through and the
meaning of a successful life according to the perception
and ideas of the author.
After we have unlock the meaning of a concept and a
concept paper, there are ways that we can use to elucidate
a concept.
What do we mean by the word elucidate? Anyone? None?
If none let me flash the definition of the word.
Who wants to read the definition of the word elucidate?
Yes, (Name of the student)
: (The students are raising their hands.)
: to explain something or make something
Now by the given meaning of the word, what does
clear.
elucidate means?
Yes, (Name of the student)
: (The students are raising their hands.)
: Ma’am elucidate means that we explain
the word or phases in a simple and clear
Yes, very good! Elucidating words helps us to understand way.
them better.
There are three ways that we can use to elucidate a
concept
First is by definition.
Who want to read the definition of the first way to elucidate
a concept?
Yes, (Name of the student) : (The students are raising their hands.)
: 1. Definition is a logic technique by which
the remaining of a term is revealed.
Definition is important because it clarifies
the meaning of a word or a concept and it
also limit the scope of that particular word
or concept. Limiting the scope controls
and avoids misinterpretations, argue
notions, and/ or broad ideas.
Please explain what you have understood in what you have
read.
: We use definitions to clear the vague
points so that we can understand it directly
and avoid miscommunications.
Yes, very good! Giving definitions are very important
because as (Name of the student) said we should avoid
vague points to avoid misinterpretations that can lead to
arguments or even debates.
and practicing new skills #2 Under Definition, we have eight techniques to help us
elucidate some concepts.

1. Formal
2. By synonym
3. By origin or semantic history
4. By Illustration
5. By function
6. By analysis
7. By contrast
8. By negation

First, let us discuss the first technique.

(Name of the student) please read.

: 1. Formal- follows a pattern or equation:

How do we do that? It says that he have to follow some
formula which is Term + genus + differentia (Differentiating
characteristics)
Term + genus + differentia (Differentiating
characteristics)
Ex. A robot is a machine that looks like a
human being and performs complex acts
of a human being.

Let us dissect the example given. The term means the

main topic in the sentence, the subject or the thing that is
being talk about. The genus is the identification of our term.
For example our term is “robot”, our genus will be
“machine”. Our genus is the one identifying our term. And
lastly the differentia or the differentiating characteristics.
This is the two dependent clause that contrast definition of
our term, which is “looks like a human being” and “performs
complex acts of human being”

Is it clear or not?

Second, By synonym. (Name of the student) Please read

the definition. : Clear Ma’am

:2. By synonym- using a word or phases

that shares a meaning with the term being
I assume that all of you knows what a synonym means, defined.
because you have hear of it when you were in junior and Ex: Hashish- Marijuana
even in elementary days.

In this technique we search for the same meaning but

different in words of the highfalutin word to a more simple
words that we can understand. And highfalutin word means
a deep term of a simple term. For example the highfalutin
word of beautiful is aesthetic.

Third, By origin or semantic history. (Name of the student)

Please read the example.

Base on the given example, what does defining by origin or : 3. By origin or semantic history - Ex.
semantic history means? Your clue is the word history and Yoga comes from the Sanskrit “to join”
origin, what do we mean by those words?

: Ma’am we define the concept by their

Yes, very good. I hope that you have understood that history to where they come from, where
because it is very self-explanatory. they started or originated.

Next, By Illustration. (Name of the student) Please read the

definition and example.

: 4. By Illustration- a picture or diagram

that helps make something clear or
attractive. An example or instance that
helps make something clear.

Ex. Known for their shedding their leaves

So when we say illustration it gives you some pictures, in the fall, deciduous include oaks,
diagrams or some examples to make you understand the maples, and beeches.
concept. In the example, it gives some example of trees
that sheds in fall. It innumerate and gives a lot of similar
characteristics or examples of the concept that you wanted
to unlock and understand.

Next, By Function (Name of the student) Please read the

definition.

: 5. By Function- means the concept was

defined by how we use or utilize it.
(Name of the student) can you give another example, give
a word and define it according to its function. Ex. A thermometer measures temperature
change.

Very good!
: An eyeglasses helps the eyes see
Next, By analysis. (Name of the student) Please read the clearer.
definition.

: 6. By analysis- Breaking down wholes

We can see in the example given, the republican form of
government is being define here and we analyze the
meaning of our term by its branches which is the
legislative, executive, and the judiciary.
into parts, aspects into levels, and a
process into steps
Ex. The republican form of government
has three branches: The executive, the
legislative, and the judiciary.

Seventh, By contrast (Name of the student) Please read

the definition.

Explain to us your understanding on how we use the : 7. By contrast- use of opposites.

technique by contrast.
Ex. Unlike those of gas, the particles of
Who wants to help him? plasma are electrically charged.

Yes, (Name of the student)

: (Students are raising their hands to
Okay good, from the word contrast, we find the opposite answer.)
meanings or characteristics of the concept to explain it.
And your big clue in the example is the word “unlike”. : By contrast means we use the antonyms
of the concept to explain it clearly.
And lastly, By negation (Name of the student) Please read
the definition.
: 8. By Negation- stating what a term is
Remember that we use the word “term” to refer to the not.
concept or the main topic in the phase. So, here in
negation, we are defining the concept as not it’s meaning Ex. Wild rice, an American delicacy, is not
at all. rice at all but the seed of a tall aquatic
grass.
How many techniques do we have under definition again?
: (Students are raising their hands to
answer.)
Yes, (Name of the student) kindly innumerate the eight
techniques that we have discussed a while ago.
: Ma’am,
1. Formal
2. By synonym
3. By origin or semantic history
4. By Illustration
5. By function
6. By analysis
7. By contrast; and
8. By negation
Did you understand the different techniques under
definition? : Yes, Ma’am!
Did you know that we are defining concepts like what we
have discusses subconsciously?
: No Ma’am we have no idea
If so, I will give you some real life situations where in we
use defining to elucidate concepts or ideas.
For example, when you are inside a class, anything that we
are not familiar with are being cleared as the teacher define
the new concepts that you have just encountered.
Isn’t it?
Can you give another situation where we define some : Yes, Ma’am.
concepts? Who wants to volunteer?
: (Students are raising their hands to
Yes, (Name of the student) answer.)
:For example, when we encounter difficult
and new words, we use the dictionary to
find the synonyms of the unknown word to
understand it.
Yes, very good!

H. Making generalizations and
abstractions about the lesson
I. Evaluating Learning
(Name of the student) example is right. Another is when
someone went to you and ask if you have seen or know a
certain person.
Didn’t we describe or illustrate the person’s physical
appearance to make them think of the person you are
looking for? This situation is very familiar with us because
we always like to illustrate people.
Are the given examples clear?
:Yes, Ma’am
Now, before we end our lesson, who can summarize our
today’s discussion? : (The students are raising their hands to
answer.)
Yes, (name of the student)?
: Our lesson for today is the different ways
and techniques to elucidate a concept.
Specifically, the Definition. Under definition
there are eight techniques these are:
: 1. Formal- follows a pattern or equation:
Term + genus + differentia (Differentiating
characteristics)
:2. By synonym- using a word or phases
that shares a meaning with the term being
defined.
: 3. By origin or semantic history - Ex.
Yoga comes from the Sanskrit “to join”
: 4. By Illustration- a picture or diagram
that helps make something clear or
attractive.
: 5. By Function- means the concept was
defined by how we use or utilize it.
: 6. By analysis- Breaking down wholes
into parts, aspects into levels, and a
process into steps
: 7. By contrast- use of opposites.
: 8. By Negation- stating what a term is
not.
Very well said! It seems that you already understood
today’s discussion.
