B. Introduction
1.Motivation
Title: True COLORS
Now class, let us start our day by
watching a short clip. I entitled this
activity “True COLORS”!

Instructions: Reflect, think out loud by

writing on ¼ sheet of paper at least 3
words that remarkably touch your hearts
while watching. In at least 3 sentences
share why you chose those words. This is
equivalent to 5 points recitation.

Be ready for I will be calling 3 students

Now let us start watching.

(The video is playing.)

Yes, Ma’am!

(Students are watching.)

(After 2 minutes of watching.)
Okay, let me hear from you Rhea!
What are your 3 words and why?
Ma’am, the 3 words that comes out on my mind in
watching the video are struggle, love and someone (to
depend on). Life really is unpredictable, full of
uncertainty that it will made us feel confuse, to the
 point that we will feel LOST. It requires courage
among us to be able to surpass everything that will
comes our way. Also, there will be times that we will
be needing someone to lift us during down times!
(The students answers may vary.)

Wow! That is very touching Rhea! That

is true!

How about the others! Okay Glen, let us Self-love, confidence and perseverance! Ma’am what
hear from you! if there is no one to depend on? Not all the time there
is someone to be there for us. For me it is important
to have self-love more than everything! For us to be
able to give love to others at the same time persevere
to everything we do!

That is indeed true, Glen! Thank you!

Okay, aside from confidence and
perseverance, why is it crucial to have the
self-love with you always? Who wanted Ma’am, it is crucial to have self-love for us to be able
to add? go on with our life! This way we will never be lost
and will never forget who we really are! Self-love
will make us strong and independent, without relying
on to someone’s love, and I agree to what Glen said,
we will be able to love others unconditionally and
