B.3 Discussion Proper

(Directed Discussion)
(Students listen attentively)
“Before anything else, allow me to
read the objectives of today.
Number one, understand the
importance of assessing the
quality of food product before
purchasing; identify key factors to
consider when buying meat,
fruits, and other food items; and
(Student raises their hands)
develop critical thinking skills to
make informed choices while
shopping for groceries”
(Ms. Barcelon states her answer)

“I have a question, what are your

experiences buying foods and
how do you decide on what to
purchase?”

“ Yes Ms. Barcelon?”

“Thank you Ms. Barcelon.”
(short reinforcement)

“Quality food is packed with

nutrients, vitamins, and minerals
needed to keep a body
functioning at peak capacity.
Eating clean and avoiding
processed and refined foods can
drastically improve your quality of
life. Quality foods have been
shown to boost immunity and
stave off sickness.”

“Assessing the quality of meat is

crucial to ensure that it is safe for
consumption and retains its
nutritional value. Here are the
Things to Look Out for When

4
Buying Meat (And How to Buy the
Best Quality)”

1. The color of the meat

2. The smell
3. Meat texture
4. The packaging and storage
5. The use-by-date

“but of course, we're going to

discuss them one by one” (students raises their hands)

“The first one is color. Why do

you think that color is one of the
things to look out for when buying (Mr. Heredero states his answer)
meat?”

“Yes Mr. Heredero?” “Yes ma’am!”

“Thank you Mr. Heredero”
“Do you agree with that class?”

“Yes! The color of the meat can

indicate its freshness and quality.
Fresh meat typically exhibits
vibrant and consistent colors.”

(Shows picture to differentiate) (students raises their hands)

“The second one is the smell.

Why do you think that smell can
be one of the things to look out for
(Ms. Malay states her answer)
when buying meat?”

“Yes Ms. Maloay?” “Yes ma’am!”

“Thank you Ms. Maloay”

“Do you agree with that class?”

“Yes, the smell of meat is a vital

indicator of its freshness and
potential spoilage. High-quality
meat has a neutral or slightly
sweet smell. If the meat has a
strong smell or unpleasant odor, it
may be an indication of rotting
meat.”

(shows picture)

“The third one is the meat texture”

“The texture of meat can give

clues about its tenderness and
quality. If the meat is slimy or

5
sticky, then rather stay away.”

(shows picture)

“The next one is the packaging

and storage. Examine the
packaging of the meat to ensure it
is intact, free from leaks, and
properly sealed. Avoid packages
with torn or damaged seals, as it
could compromise the meat’s
safety and freshness.
If you notice that the fridges are
slightly warmer than usual, or you
see water dripping from the
freezers, there could be a
technical issue, which means
your meat might not be so fresh.”
(students raises their hands)
(shows picture)

“The last one is the use-by-date.

Why do you think that use-by-
date is important to look out for (Mr. Albores states his answer)
when buying meat?”

“Yes Mr. Albores?”

“Thank you Mr. Albores”

“Yes, the use-by-date is

important, since it’s an indication
of how close the meat is to being
spoiled. You should always
consume meat before, or on, this
use-by date. After this date has
passed, it’s very risky to
consume.” “None ma’am”

(shows picture)
( color, smell,texture,packaging and
“Questions so far?” storage, and use-by-date)

“What are the things to look out

for when buying meat?”
(students raises their hands)
“ Okay now let’s proceed to

“and we’re going to discuss them

pleasant aroma. Avoid fruits with
bruises, blemishes, or signs of (students raises their hands)
spoilage.”

(shows picture)
(Ms. Sabuero states her answer)
“The second one is the ripeness.
Any ideas from the class? Why is
it necessary to look for ripeness in
buying fruits?”

“Yes Ms. Sabuero?”

“Thank you Ms. Sabuero. Yes,
always check for the desired level
of ripeness based on your
preference. Some fruits like
bananas, should be ripe, while
others, like avocados, might need
to ripen at home”

(shows picture)

“The third one is Size and Shape.

Always look for fruits that are
uniform in size and shape, as
irregularities could indicate
possible issues with growth or (Students raises their hands)
handling”
(shows picture) (Ms. Redondo states her answer)

“The next one is skin texture. Any

ideas from the class?”

“Yes Ms. Redondo?”

“Thank you Ms. Redondo. Yes,
opted for fruits with smooth,
unblemished skin, as rough
textures or cuts might suggest
damage or decay.”

(shows picture)

“The last one is weight. Choose
fruits that feel heavy for their size,
as this indicates they are juicy “None ma’am”
and ripe.”

(shows picture)
(Freshness, Ripeness, Size and
“Those are some qualities you
Shape, Skin Texture, and Weight)
need to look for when purchasing
fruits. Any questions so far?
before we proceed to our last
topic”

“What are the qualities you need (Students listen attentively)

to look for when purchasing
fruits?”

“Very good!”

“Now let’s proceed to our last

topic which is the quality you
need to look for when buying
other food related goods
specifically canned goods and
dairy products”

“Let’s start off with canned goods.

When purchasing canned goods,
always look for its storage and
food label”

“Storage for the best quality

canned food, store in a cool and
dry place - not near pipes, the
stove or range, a furnace or in
direct sunlight. Keeping cans dry
to avoid the metal lids from
rusting. Rust can cause leaks and
food spoilage. Properly stored
canned foods will almost always
be safe to eat.”

(shows picture)

A “best before” date is a way of

expressing the durable life of a
product. The durable life is
described as the number of days
(starting with the day food is
packaged) that the food will keep
its quality, taste and nutrition - as
long as it’s stored properly.”

“Next is the dairy products. There

are 3 common qualities you need
to look for when purchasing dairy
products namely the proper
packaging, storage and expiration
date”

“Proper packaging is important

because it helps ensure the
product’s freshness, safety, and
quality. It will also help us to
prevent contamination and
spoilage.”

(shows picture)

“Storage is also important to

consider when purchasing dairy (Student raises their hands)
products because proper storage
conditions can greatly impact the
freshness, safety, and quality of
these products.” (Mr. Lainay states his answer)
“Yes Ma’am!”
(shows picture)

“The last one is the expiration

date. Why is the expiration date
important to look for when
purchasing dairy products?”

“Yes Mr. Lainay?”

“Thank you Mr. Lainay. Do you

“None ma’am”
agree with that class?”
“Yes Mr. Lainay is correct.
Expiration date is important
because consuming dairy
products past their expiration date
can pose health risks due to
potential bacterial growth,
spoilage, and etc.”

(shows picture) (storage and food label)

“That ends our discussion. Any (proper packaging, storage and

questions? clarifications? violent expiration date)
reactions class?”
