All right! Now, let’s start our discussion.

What does it mean when we say facts?

Facts can be verified ma’am.

Very well said Jay! Kindly read the
definition of facts in 3,2,1 Go!

Facts are a specific detail that can be

something that can be proven. It can be
verified either by observation or by
consulting a credible authority or source.
Like for example our statement earlier:
Facebook was created by Mark
Zuckerberg. It is an example of a facts
statement because it can be proven or
verified through research. We have here
another examples. Please read, Caliso.

Example:

1. Plants undergo a process called

true, but it may not be. Also, it is a verified or not. It is also a conviction
based on cultural or personal faith,

faith, morality, or values. Like our
statement earlier. Whenever someone
drops a spoon, they will have a female
visitor.

Do you have the same belief as that?

Okay, it is just a belief because it is

something that we accept as true whether
these can be verified or not.
Yes, ma’am.
We have also these beliefs, kindly read
girls in 3,2,1 go!

Example:

Thank you! Have you experienced a

scenario like you are sweeping at night
and your mother scolded you because of
the belief that it will result in bad luck? 1. Bad Luck Awaits When You Sweep at
night.

It is just a belief class because there is

not yet evidence that it is true.

Now, I have here a picture. Yes, ma’am.

Can you describe the picture, henry?

Very good! The black cat is crossing road, ma’am.

The black cat is crossing the road. So,
what belief can you draw based on that
picture?

Yes, Althea?

The black cat crossing road is a sign of

bad luck ma’am.
Very well said! Based on our belief, when
a black cat is crossing the road while
you’re driving there’s bad luck that awaits.
This is an example of a conviction based
on cultural or personal faith, morality, or
values which is the definition of belief.

How about this one? Can you describe

the picture? Zoilo?

Very Good! Now, what belief can you

draw based on that picture? Yes, Rain?
Marvelous! I know that we all have this
kind of belief, right? So, why is it an
example of belief, Jenmae?

The belief is that when you Jump High on

New Year’s Eve, you will Gain Height.
Very good! It is based on what an
individual thinks are true, but it may not
be.

Who can give me another example of a It is an example of belief because it is

belief? Yes, Macaraya? based on what an individual thinks are
true.

Very good! It is also a well-known belief

that if you have big ears then you can live
longer.

belief that we all have, right? all the

reflection. It is an example of a conviction

D. Concluding Activities

Application

Create with me!

All right, it seems like you learned from

our discussion. Now, let us all apply what
you had learned in a group activity.

For this activity, I will divide the class into

four groups. Each group must create
three facts and three beliefs. After that,
you will choose two representatives to
read your output in front. Am I clear?
Yes, ma’am.
So, this will be your guide for this activity.

RUBRIC:

Collaboration and Teamwork = 5 points

Presentation Skills = 5 points

TOTAL: 30 points

I will give you 5 minutes to prepare. Your

Time’s up. Let’s start with group 1 and

then followed by groups 2, 3, and 4.
 E. Generalization

All right! We’re now done with our activity.

let us now have a recap of what we have
discussed earlier to check if you still
remember our lesson.

What do you call a specific detail that can

be proven as true based on objective
evidence? Fact ma’am.

Very good! What about something that a

person accepts as true whether these can
be verified or not?
Belief ma’am.

Very well said. Now, I have two important

questions.

1. Why is it important to distinguish facts

from belief?

Yes, Riza?
Distinguishing between facts and beliefs
is important for the accuracy of
information ma’am.

Very good, Riza! Differentiating between

the two helps ensure that the information
presented is accurate and based on
verifiable evidence.

Another question

2. Again, how can we differentiate facts

from beliefs?

Yes, Henry?
When we say beliefs, these are
convictions based on cultural or personal
faith, morality, or values. While facts are
objectively verifiable truths.
Very Good! When we say, beliefs They
are not based on facts or other evidence
and cannot be disproved or contested
rationally or logically while Facts are
objectively verifiable truths that can be
proven and are not influenced by
personal beliefs or opinions. Am I
 understood? Yes, ma’am.

Do you have any questions?

Clarifications?
None, ma’am.

If none, then let us have a quiz.
