1. Define a good leader
2. Share thoughts on how to improve socialization skills
3. Follow the instructions properly

Materials:
Plastic ball, paper, pen, and journal notebook

Mood Setting – Wall, Archer, Rabbit
1. Divide the pupils into two groups.
2. All members of the group should be standing forming one straight line.
3. Explain the mechanics of the game:

This game is played the same way as with "Paper, rock, scissors." The difference is the symbolic gestures used: WALL – two hands are raised upward; ARCHER- hands are positioned like an archer that seems to be holding a bow and an arrow; and RABBIT – two hands are placed near the two ears to represent the big ears of a rabbit.
Here are the rules: Wall beats archer because the arrow cannot pass through a wall; Archer beats rabbit because it can be hit by an arrow; and rabbit beats wall because it can jump over the wall.
4. Each group should talk among themselves on what gestures they should be showing altogether once they face the opponent.
5. When the facilitator say “Go” each group should be facing each other showing the gesture they prefer.
6. All members should be doing the same gesture, otherwise, they will lose the game.
7. The first group that gets three points wins the game.

Processing:
1. How did you find the activity?
2. How did you feel while doing the game?
3. For the group who won, what strategy did you use to win?
4. For the group who lost, what difficulty have you faced?
5. Did anyone among the members act as a leader? How did you choose?

Activity – Moon ball
1. Divide the students into two groups.
2. Students should work as a team to keep the ball from coming in contact with the floor. However this is harder than it seems. Encourage participants to plan a strategy. Prompt students as needed to bolster success.
3. Tell them that they are only allowed to toss, tap, and kick the ball. They can also use their head, elbow, shoulder and knee during the game.
4. The group that keeps the ball from coming in contact with the floor for a longer period of time wins the game.

Processing:
1. How did you find the activity?

2. How did you feel while doing the game? 3. What are the traits or characteristics that were displayed during the moon ball activity. 4. What do you think are the skills contributed by each participant? 5. Is leadership individual or collective?

(This process will permit students an opportunity to discern characteristics of leadership leading into more meaningful discussion. Encourage participants to develop a definition of leadership, distinguishing qualities of good leaders. Discussion should also relate to how leadership is situational and that sometimes certain situations work better with particular characteristics of leadership. What types of leaders are needed? Who wants to consider leadership for various projects?)

Application
Ask the children to write the things they have learned in the journal notebook.

Evaluation
Distribute the evaluation form to all the participants and ask them to answer it honestly.

Lesson 6: Reaching the Goal (Academic Performance)
Objectives:
The students are expected to:
1. Identify the ways on how to improve academic performance
2. Show pride in the smallest achievements done in school

3. Apply the tips discussed on how to improve academic performance.

Materials:
Small box, mirror, cardboards, pen, and journal notebook Mood Setting – The Magic Box
Construct a "magic box" which can be any kind of a box with a mirror placed to reflect the face of anyone who looks inside. Begin the activity by asking the group, "Who do you think is the most special person in the whole world?" After allowing the student to respond individually, continue: "I have a magic box with me today, and each of you will have a chance to look inside and discover the most important person in the world."
Give each client a chance to look into the box after you ask them who they think they will see. Some students may have to be persuaded, because they may not believe what they see. Be ready with some of the following comments: Before rejoining the group, ask each client to keep the special news a secret. After the entire clients have had their turns, ask the group who the most special person was. After each client has had an opportunity to say "me," explain that the box is valuable because it shows that each of them is special. You might ask how it is possible for everyone to be the special one. A discussion about each individual's uniqueness may proceed.

Processing:
1. Are you surprised?
2. How does it feel to see that you are the special person?
3. You smiled so big -- are you happy to see that you're the special person?
4. What is the relation of the activity to in aiming to win the game?
5. Why is it needed to believe in yourself in winning a contest?

...WORKING WITH ABUSED CHILDREN 1 / CHAPTER ONE The Abuse of Filipino Childr en Filipino families consider children as gifts from God (Bulatao 1975). They are persons who inspire love and affection and bring happiness and security in the twilight years of parents. Interestingly, children are seen as links to immortality because children pass on from one generation to another the family’s name, history, and heritage. Often, children are portrayed as being nurtured and properly attended to in their homes; however, Filipino children are not as secure and protected as they are ideally portrayed. The increasing number of street children who work on the streets or beg for alms from pedestrians and motorists belie such an idealized portrayal. Street children, among other things, are the most palpable reminder that all is not well with Filipino children. Reality reveals the many children who are denied even the most minimum of needs like food, love, nurturance, stability, security, and stimulating learning environment that will allow for their healthy development. Many Filipino children are rushed into maturity because early on in their lives, they are forced to contend with difficult problems and to take on adult roles and responsibilities. Media and popular and academic literature, more than any other time, has brought to our attention the plight of children, be they street children or not, who perform adult roles and who are in need of the basic components ...

...Chapter 1 SIGMUND FREUD AN INTRODUCTION Sigmund Freud, pioneer of Psychoanalysis, was born on 6th May 1856 in Freiberg to a middle class family. He was born as the eldest child to his father’s second wife. When Freud was four years old, his family shifted and settled in Vienna. Although Freud’s ambition from childhood was a career in law, he decided to enter the field of medicine. In 1873, at the age of seventeen, Freud enrolled in the university as a medical student. During his days in the university, he did his research on the Central Nervous System under the guidance of German physician `Ernst Wilhelm Von Brucke’. Freud received his medical degree in 1881and later in 1883 he began to work in Vienna General Hospital. Freud spent three years working in various departments of the hospital and in 1885 he left his post at the hospital to join the University of Vienna as a lecturer in Neuropathology. Following his appointment as a lecturer, he got the opportunity to work under French neurologist Jean Charcot at Salpetriere, the famous Paris hospital for nervous diseases. So far Freud’s work had been entirely concentrated on physical sciences but Charcot’s work, at that time, concentrated more on hysteria and hypnotism. Freud’s studies under Charcot, which centered largely on hysteria, influenced him greatly in channelising his interests to psychopathology. In 1886, Freud established his private practice in Vienna specializing in nervous diseases...

The steps of nursing process 1)Assesment 2)Diagnosis 3)Planning 4)Implementation 5)Evaluation Assessment An RN uses a systematic, dynamic way to collect and analyze data about a client, the first step in delivering nursing care. Assessment includes not only physiological data, but also psychological, sociocultural, spiritual, economic, and life-style factors as well. For example, a nurse’s assessment of a hospitalized patient in pain includes not only the physical causes and manifestations of pain, but the patient’s response—an inability to get out of bed, refusal to eat, withdrawal from family members, anger directed at hospital staff, fear, or request for more pain mediation. Diagnosis The nursing diagnosis is the nurse’s clinical judgment about the client’s response to actual or potential health conditions or needs. The diagnosis reflects not only that the patient is in pain, but that the pain has caused other problems such as anxiety, poor nutrition, and conflict within the family, or has the potential to cause complications—for example, respiratory infection is a potential hazard...

Introduction to Psychology

...TPS 101: INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY TPS 101 serves as the beginning course in psychology; as such, it is broad in scope. The course will introduce students to the history of psychology, and current paradigms and theories. We will cover neuroscience, sensation, perception, memory, and language, stress and health psychology, personality and social psychology, intelligence, and developmental psychology. Because of time limitations, none of these topics can be covered in great depth. The reference textbooks and the material presented in class will serve as the primary sources for the material to be covered. INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF PSYCHOLOGY Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes. It is an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of mental processes and behaviour. Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity, including problems of individuals' daily lives and the treatment of mental illness. It is largely concerned with humans, although the behaviour and mental processes of animals can also be part of psychology research, either as a subject in its own right (e.g. animal cognition and ethnology), or somewhat more controversially, as a way of gaining an insight into human psychology by means of comparison (including comparative psychology). Origins of the psychology Near the end of 19th century things started drawing together. Questions raised by philosophers were being...

...writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are worthwhile and that your reader genuinely...

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy. Yet when we recall the discussions we’ve had with colleagues about instructor’s manuals over the years, two unnerving comments stick with us: “I don’t find them much help”; and (even worse) “I never look at them.” And, if the truth be told, we were often the people making such points! With these statements in mind, we have done some serious soul-searching about the texts that so many teachers—ourselves included—frequently malign or ignore. As we have considered our quandary, we have come face-to-face with the central paradox that characterizes the genre: Teaching manuals tend to be distant, mechanical, impersonal, and lifeless, when in fact good teaching is immediate, flexible, personal, and lively. In this manual, therefore, we have attempted to communicate to fellow teachers...

Idioms and Expression

...this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thailand, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn common, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscommunication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to assist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context. For instance, Idiom: “It’s a done deal.” Definition: “We agree. Everything has been decided. We’re...
