TEACHER’S ACTIVITY
STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
Good day class!
Good day ma’am.
I’m happy to see that everybody is
present today.
As we discuss our last lesson for this
semester, I want you to listen
carefully during the discussion,
actively participate and raise your
right hand if you want to recite.
1. Motivation
Is that clear?
Have you ever ask yourselves “what
will happen to me after death?” or
“Am I living a meaningful life?”
Yes, ma’am.
Title of the Activity: SHARE IT!
“What Happens after Death?”
As a preliminary activity for our
class, try to share your thoughts
about life.

How about the opposite? It has been

How would you live your life?

Very good!
As a guide for our discussion, here
are our objectives for today’s lesson:
 explain the meaning of the
human person as a beingunto death;
 reflect on the meaning of their
own lives;
 recognize that death is
inevitable.
And here is our most essential
learning competency for this lesson:
 Enumerate the objectives
he/she really wants to
achieve and to define the
projects he/she really wants
to do in his/her life.
B. Analysis
1. Discussion
Basing on what you have just
shared, do you think that there is a
significant difference between the
life that certainly knows there is
NOTHING AFTER DEATH and a life
that is not certain which means
THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH?

not certain?
b. If yes, try to explain the difference.
When you become sure that there is
nothing after death, will you live your
lives differently than you do now?
c. What effect does the uncertainty
of what happens after death have in
your everyday lives?
3. Each group will select a
representative to present their
works.
Those were all great presentations
and I applaud everyone for doing
such a good job!

the picture.
Very good.
The cycle of being born, growing up
and growing old and dying is a
reality.
What else?
We have limited time here on
earth and whether we like it or
not, we are bound to die.
Correct!
Death is commonly understood as
the end of bodily functions.

death.
2. Valuing
Exactly!
We now say that death is inevitable.
We cannot escape death. Even the
richest man on earth cannot bribe
death.
Reflect: How should a life be lived
before it finally ends?
What
is
Martin
Heidegger’s “If we do not reflect on our
philosophical view about death?
deaths, chances are, we are
not living an authentic life”
Very good.
It is a fact that human person dies.
When do we say that a man is living According to Paul Tillich: If
an inauthentic life?
you do not have the courage
to face death, you end up
living an inauthentic life of
denial manifested in their ‘idle
talk’,
‘curiosity’
and
‘ambiguity’.
That’s right!
Let us try to elaborate more about
Heidegger’s idea of inauthentic
existence. What do you think are
these?
Human being submerged in a
world of objects, everyday
routine and the conventional
behavior of the crowd.
Exactly!
The fear of death is subdued and
muted by the noise of the crowd.
And those who have the courage to
face in evitable death live an
authentic existence.
The question now is, how to live a We need to live a life of
good life?
achieving meaningful visions
before death takes them.
In addition to our discussion, let us
read Steve Job’s speech which he
made a year after he was diagnosed
with terminal cancer.
No one wants to die. Even people
who want to go to heaven don’t
want to die to get there. And yet
death is the destination we all
share. No one has ever escaped
it. And that is as it should be,
because Death is very likely the
single best invention of Life. It is
Life’s change agent. It clears out
the old to make way for the new.
Right now, the new is you, but
someday not too long from now,
Someone will read the
speech for the whole class.
you will gradually become the old
and be cleared away. Sorry to be
so dramatic, but it is quite true.
III. Application
Your time is limited, so don’t waste
it living someone else’s life. Don’t
be trapped by dogma- which is
living with the result of other
peoples thinking. Don’t let the
noise of others opinions drown out
your own inner voice. And most
important, have the courage to
follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know
what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary
(Stanford News: 2005).
Every human person is finite; we are
beings-unto-death.
The
angst
brought about by our inescapable
death
makes
us
live
life
inauthentically. Until we have the
courage to face the fact of our
inevitable death, we can never live
an authentic existence, a life live
according to what has clearly
decided as its meaning and
purpose.
Title of the Activity: Hi! I am
Death, may I come in?”
Direction: Answer the following
questions genuinely.
a. If death comes to you as a guest,
will you let it in? Yes or no?
b. If death comes to you in no
precise time, how would you prepare
yourself in the coming of your
personal death?
c. Make a bucket list on the 3 things
you will do before you die.
d. How would you want to be
remembered by your loved ones?
