processes and functions that may help you improve your thoughts, behavior and
feelings and you explore ways on how to improve its function for your personal

expressing positive and negative emotions and a develop a personal development
plan. Read the questions carefully, write in a sentence your explanation. You may
use your notebook or any sheet of paper.

Think about your past graded exams:

1. What did you feel when you see the result ?___________________________
2. Were you surprised by the result ? ___________________________________
3. Did you study before the exam? ______________________________________
4. What did you do to pass or fail in the exam ? _________________________

PERSONAL PLAN TO ENHANCE BRAIN FUNCTION

Improving your brain through constant practice and checking

your health it is crucial especially the different adjustments and
coping abilities. The brain continues working even when you are at
asleep. The brain works in a slower pace and if the brain stops life
cease to exist. To comprehend situational problems and to train
one's brain to handle these challenges, will give an assurance of
making right and logical decisions. True enough, if you are
consistent in being stagnant and refuse to learn new things, you are
the risk of eliciting your capacity to improve. (In Praise of the Idle
Mind; Davis, 2019)
 What is Thinking ?
Thinking – it involves manipulating mental representation and prevents us
from making a mistake ( Robertson, 1999 ).

A . CRITICAL THINKING - requires logic and coherence as we try to analyze,

synthesize, evaluate, and interpret information rather than simply apply technical
abilities. ( Andolina, 2001).
- we try to evaluate , formulate good arguments, we arrange information in a
coherent way by making connection to other ideas, considering alternative
sources and assessing their implications, looking for cause and effect and
making generalizations.
Metacognition - it refers to the awareness and knowledge about one’s own
thought process and the ability to use the knowledge in managing one’s own
thinking processes, such as problem solving and comprehension ( Bruning,
Schraw, Norby, & Ronning, 2004 )
B. CREATIVE THINKING – the production of effective novelty through the operation
of our mental processes. (Halford, 2004 ). Creativity depends not only our ability to do things but
to represent what has been done. Creative thinking must be able to represent relations. A
creative person can see relationship of things around through art, music, dance and movement,
and other forms of creative activity.
ENHANCING CREATIVITY THROUGH MIND MAPPING
Mind map - is a graphic technique which provides a universal key to unlock
the potentials of the brain. ( Tony Buzan, father of Mind Mapping ) This one technique he
designed and endorses because it fosters whole-brain development.
In a mind map, one concept, idea or topic is represented using an image. Key words are then
associated with it and are placed in major branches that are color coded. These branches spread
out into twigs containing key words. Each branch and twig contain only one keyword.

Mind mapping does not only

create and structure ideas but
also it helps store new
information and test them.
 UNDERSTANDING THE INTESITY AND DIFFERENTIATION
OF EMOTIONS
Emotion - is your reaction to any stimulus and comes from your limbic
system. It a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one’s
circumstances, mood or relationship with others. ( Oxford dictionary ).
Emotion finds a way in expression. By our facial expression, people
recognize what we feel. Facial expression communicates our emotions, it
can be misleading, exaggerated or minimized. Facial expression is
universal, can be seen in human as well as in animals. We learn facial
expression that is one recognized or approved by one’s culture. According
to Paul Ekman and Carrol Izard there are 7 emotions that have universal
facial expressions - anger, contempt, disgust, fear, joy, sadness and
surprise.

Emotions are measured through self-report instruments or psychological tests. They can
be measured through physiological ways such as monitoring the heartbeat, blood pressure,
sweating of palms and even through blood chemistry and brain activities. It can be
measured through behavioral manifestation such as facial expressions and tone of the
voice.
 Emotions tell you something is wrong – when you fell that something is not
right,listen to your body. Your intuition may be guiding you on what to do. Your
feelings of unease or discomfort can alert you on a potential danger of misfortune
these feelings are prompting you to respond and guide you not to make hasty
decisions.

 Emotions allow you to maintain and develop your relationships into meaningful
ones. Shame, guilt, and pride are negative ones. Emotions allow us to realize that
we have done wrong to our family, friends, neighbors and thus we make an apology
for such actions. Positive emotions such as being loved, feeling accepted or
understood warms the heart and makes relationship valuable.

 Emotions create opportunities to see things meaningfully. We see the purpose of

our lives and we become more capable of making and doing our choices.

 Emotions bring out feelings of self-respect and self-worth. The more that you
feel good about yourself, the more open you are for the many opportunities and
challenges in life. Live your life to the fullest and celebrate your emotions.

 What I Have Learned

Hello! My dear student. I noticed that you already

mastered the competencies in this module and to further express
your learning, you are going to write SUMMARY of the lessons
you have learned using GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS. You may use
a separate sheet of papers, you can color it or use your printers,
or any available materials at home.Here are some examples,
you may create your own.
Activity 4: MY LEARNINGS USING GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
 What I Can Do

You just have learned that Mind Mapping is one of the strategies on how you
are going to plan to improve brain functions. So, may I ask you to participate in
the next activity in which you will make a creative MIND MAP which anchored
to the topic : “
Behaviors associated when experiencing certain emotions.” Please use any
white cartolina/ bondpaper/illustration board or any clean paper available in
the house, coloring materials, cut out pictures from magazines, brochure,
ballpen, pencil,pentel pen and others.

Activity 5: MIND MAP MAKING

Instructions:
1. Begin at the center of the blank paper to give your brain freedom to expand
your ideas freely in different directions.
2. Choose central ideas and give it visual representation to make it appealing,
catch attention and to keep you focused .
3.Put colors on your work to make it appear vibrant and exciting.
4. Draw main branches around your central ideas to stand for the association.
connect other branches ( second or third level branches ) to expand your
thinking. This helps in getting a clearer understanding of your central idea
and helps you remember them.
5. Curve your branches to make it appealing.
6. Use images to represent your ideas in your mind-map. It helps spark words
or ideas in your head.

Criteria:
a. Variety of pictures/ creativity used to develop main ideas - 5pts.
b. Ideas ( originality and interest ) - 5pts.
c. Relevance of material ( connected to main idea ) - 5 pts.
d. Visual Impact ( effectiveness of overall presentation ) – 5 pts.
TOTAL 20 pts.
