2. C. Presentation of the Lesson:
Our lesson for today is about being sensitive to others without being
bias and prejudice.
Class, I have here a scenario posted on the board. I want you to think
whether the scenario is fair or unfair. (Ask student to read and let
them answer.)
1. Teachers favor certain students over others in grading final
performance or task.
2. Not allowing one of your classmates to join your group
because she/he is physically disabled and a waste of time.
Alright, the first scenario shows favoritism and classified as bias. The
second shows discrimination for it tells us unfavorable opinion and
pre-judges others and that’s what we call prejudice.
Bias means a tendency to favor one person, group, thing or point of
view over another, often in an unfair way.
Example:
Female teachers give more attention to girls.
Prejudice is an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or
without knowledge, thought or reason. It simply means to pre-judge
others.
Example:
It is sometimes assumed that someone who is physically disabled is
also mentally disabled.

it’s not right to put a label on anyone. Watch it and find out the label
attached to her. But first let us read the guide questions because

Transcript of the TV commercial:
“Shame that there is still double standard. Sayang daw ako,
because I am a single mother. If a guy gets a girl pregnant, he’s
right and it’s natural. But if a girl gets pregnant, malandi sya. When
the news spread of my pregnancy, people say, she’s on top of her
game. People make stories like she’s malandi or a woman of the
world. Was I unfairly judged? Yes! But then did it stop me? No, but
does it keep me stronger? Yes! Label is a challenge I accepted. I
want to show people that no matter what happens to you, it
should never stop you from being successful. As an actress, I’ve
never been happiest. And being a single mom and parent give me
purpose. Sayang! I don’t think so! Can you whip it? I did!”- Denise
Laurel, shampoo TV commercial.
