			Let’s Keep In Mind My upbringing has instilled in me ideas about certain differences between the male and the female, especially when it comes to responsibilities. I realize that gender should not be used as the sole basis for what one can do. I realize, too, that there is nothing wrong with exchanging roles. Gender Fairness For a long time now, we have been assigned responsibilities according to our gender: girls wash clothes, cook, and clean the house, while boys do carpentry and plumbing jobs. We tend to do this because we are influenced by what people say. Gender should not be used as a basis for assigning responsibilities because both sexes are capable of doing things well. Boys and Girls

			BOYS AND GIRLS (sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells") You are free to choose What you want to be All the things they do You can do it, too Boys can cook and sew Girl can hammer nails What fun it is to try the things You thought you could not do Hey! Boys and girls, girls and boys Everyone is fair Oh! What fun it is to try The things that others do Hey! Work and play, play and work Everything is fair Oh! What fun it is to try The things that others do MarCo
			From now on You know that it is all right for you to perform responsibilities expected of the opposite sex. So that other may know this, create a SLOGAN that will encourage them to practice gender fairness. Write this slogan inside the shirt below.

			How Much Did I Learn? Below are pictures of boys and girls at work. Encircle the ones that show gender fairness. Think of three (3) advantages you may experience if you were to do the responsibilities done by the opposite sex. 1. _________________________________________________ 2. _________________________________________________ 3. _________________________________________________ Character Education/Good Manners and Right Conduct Lesson for Grade Four Topic: Religious Tolerance Nonita C. Marte Let’s Get Started Look at the symbols closely. Study them. On the space provided, write down the religious sect that is represented by each of the symbol. Although they are different, what do they have in common?

			Let’s Do Something Norman’s Church Norman is a new student in your class. He is friendly and kind. You became his friend because you enjoy his company and you like his good attitude. Like most friends, you study together, eat together, and play together. One day, you invited Norman to your place. Your father and mother were glad to meet him. Norman was also pleased to meet your parents. Afterwards, he often visited your family during weekends because he liked them, too. Weeks passed and Norman finally asked you to meet his family. He wanted you to attend the wedding of his brother. You agreed to attend because you were also eager to meet his parents. On the day of the wedding, Norman fetched you at home to go the church. Upon reaching the church, you noticed that it was different from your church. The wedding ceremony was very strange and different from what you used to see. In the middle of the ceremony, you came to realize that Norman’s religion was different from yours.

			1. Will you leave the church? Why or why not? 2. How would you feel after knowing that you and Norman have different religions? 3. Will there be a change in your friendship with Norman? Draw your answer on the space provided. What Do I Think and Feel?

			Picture ____ shows respect for the religion of others. I will imitate what the children in picture _____ are doing. Put a ( ) in the box before the statement showing respect to people of different religions: ____ Accepting them for what they are ____ Arguing with them about their beliefs ____ Showing concern to them in times of need ____ Treating them fairly ____ Criticizing their religious practices Do you agree that the one must respect the religion of others? ______ Yes ______ No because _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ When my friends and other people around me respect my religious beliefs/practices I feel:

			Let’s Keep These in Mind Our religion is our personal way of relating to God. People have different religions. Therefore I must respect the religious beliefs and practices of others. Even if we have different religions, we are one with God. To Accept Is to Respect People have different religions. Some are Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus. Although they belong to different religions, they have one thing in common: they all believe in a Supreme Being – God. Religion is our way of believing, relating, and worshipping God. This is the proof all men need God. It is important to respect the religious celebrations, beliefs, and customs of others. We should not focus on our differences; instead, emphasize what we have common, which is faith in God. Each one of us must continually accept and respect the religions of others for it will bring unity, understanding, and love among men.In dealing with those who are different from us, we should always remember this saying/passage: "Do unto others what you want others to do unto you."
