Directions:
1. This is a group activity and the group has already been determined. There are four groups
and they are to be divided for reporting purposes. The division will be up to the leader.
2. Below are the Positive and Negative Effects of Religion and I have divided it in a way that
your burden may be lightened up.
3. Two groups will be talking about the Positive effects and the other two groups for the
Negative Effects.
4. Each group is given THREE Effects in each category which are highlighted in RED.
5. Each group will first define what a positive or negative effect is (according to the category
they are assigned)
6. Next, the specific effects (highlighted in red) will be discussed. How?
a. Define each statement (if there are difficult words, define the word! Example: the
word “Promotes; give the meaning of it. For emphasis' sake, you may define each word
before giving the whole meaning of the statement.
b. Explain further each statement by giving simple examples like “What is an example of
a situation that portrays promoting social harmony?”. Explain also why it is considered
a positive/negative effect.
c. Then give a real-life or historical example that the statement was applied.
d. Finally, say a parting word before ending the report.
