STRATEGIES IN INTEGRATION OF

VALUES

1. INCOMPLETE SENTENCE

This calls for the learners to complete a sentence or sentences

that are related to the lessons

The main purpose is to draw responses from the learners that will reveal their choices, beliefs, opinions, preferences, feelings,

and the like

Example:During your English class, you have

read about “The Necklace “ by Guy de Maupassant. At the end of the story, you can ask them to fill out the sentence below based on their opinions:1. The story

is__________________________

2. If I were Mathilde, I would_______________

In science, you conducted an experiment on the factors that affects solubility, you can ask them to fill out the sentence at the end of the experiment:

1. The experiment is_________________

2. Giving One’s Title a Poem/Story/Paragraph read

The learners could be asked to give their own title. It could be

done by groups or by individuals. The important thing is to give them a chance to explain their

choice for such title.

1. A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE."They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After the friend recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE."

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND, AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE

2. A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.This is one of the characteristic of love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.

Pagkatapos makita ang halaga ng premyong ipagkakaloob sa mananalo sa patimpalak na iyon, dali-dali siyang umuwi’t sinimulang ihagod ang kanyang panitik sa papel. Magdamag siyang gising sa mundo ng mga katha. Tiyak na makukuha niya ang ginto sa patimpalak na iyon.

Kinabukasan, dala ang susi sa kanyang tagumpay, nakita niyang inaalis ng isang lalaki ang anunsiyong nagbigay buhay sa kanya.

“Boss, bakit mo inaalis iyan? Tiyak, marami pang interesado diyan!” aniya .

“Eh, sir, walong buwan na po itong nakapaskil.”

Inagaw niya ang anunsiyo sa lalaki. Nanlumo siya sa nakita. Sana’y nabasa niya ang petsang nasa ibaba ng anunsiyo.

Make a memory with your children, Spend some time to show you care;Toys and trinkets can't replace those Precious moments that you share.Money doesn't buy real pleasure, It doesn't matter where you live;Children need your own attention, Something only you can give.Childhood's days pass all too quickly, Happy memories all too few;Plan to do that special something, Take the time to go or do.Make a memory with your children, Take the time in busy days;.Have some fun while they are growing, Show your love in gentle ways.

3. Using Value-Judgment Questions

This could be done at any phase of the lesson. This is the most

common strategy because practically, this is part and

parcel of teaching

Examples1. If you were Rizal, would you have

chosen to live rather than die? Why? (Social Studies)

2. Do you think Nobel had the the right to invent the dynamite?

(Science)

3. Would you do the same things as Mathilde did? (English)

4. Giving Caption to a Picture

Each is given a chance to present a caption to the picture then report will follow afterwards.

Emphasis should be placed on the reasons for choosing the title and the manner by which is arrived at.

5. Values Voting

Here, the teacher reads aloud in one by one questions which begin with:

“How many of you________?” After each is read, the learners take a stand by doing any of the

following:a.Raising their hands (Affirmative)b.Pointing their thumbs down (negative)c.Folding their arms (undecided)d.Taking no action at all (pass)

How many of you really believe that love is blind?

Stand (when don’t care to answer)

Fold you arms (if you don’t know because sometimes it is, sometimes it ‘s not)

Raise you hands (if you strongly believe)

Point your thumbs down (if you strongly disagree)
