By guiding students through an analysis of various philosophical concepts related to the environment, the lesson plan draws insights into the Filipino perspective on the relationship between humanity and nature through oral traditions and expressions. A notable feature is the immersive integration of student identity throughout the learning process, ensuring the relevance of the material to the students’ cultural context and needs.
