TOPIC: Learning from Others and Reviewing the Literature Learning Competency: Selects relevant literature Cites related literature using standard style (APA, MLA or Chicago Manual of Style) Synthesizes information from relevant literature
I. Objectives At the end of the lesson, students will be able to: Select relevant literature Accurately cite sources in APA, MLA, or Chicago style Synthesize key information from literature using a structured approach.
Activity (Engage) Objective: Engage students in hands-on selection and citation of relevant literature. Task: Read and identify which excerpt(s) are relevant to the topic. Write the citation for the selected excerpt using either APA, MLA, or Chicago style (students may choose or be assigned a style).
Research Title: "The Effects of Cellphone Usage During Class Hours on Student Concentration and Academic Achievement" EXECERPT 1 : The widespread use of cellphones in educational settings has sparked growing concerns about their impact on student performance and concentration. Although smartphones provide quick access to learning tools, their use during class hours—especially for non-academic purposes—can negatively affect attention spans and academic outcomes. Research by Kuznekoff and Titsworth (2013) found that students who did not use their phones during lectures scored significantly higher on information recall and test performance than those who engaged with their devices. These findings highlight the cognitive costs of multitasking and support the need for thoughtful cellphone policies in classrooms .
Research Title: "The Effects of Cellphone Usage During Class Hours on Student Concentration and Academic Achievement" Excerpt 2: PowerPoint presentations have become a widely used instructional tool in modern classrooms, offering visual support that can enhance student engagement and understanding. When used effectively, PowerPoint can help organize lecture content, emphasize key points, and accommodate diverse learning styles. However, some studies suggest that overreliance on slide-based teaching may reduce student participation and limit critical thinking. This research explores how the use of PowerPoint presentations during class hours influences students’ attention, retention of information, and overall academic performance.
Excerpt 3: Cellphone usage has become increasingly prevalent, raising questions about its impact on various aspects of daily life, including education, social interaction, and mental health. In academic settings, frequent cellphone use—especially for non-educational purposes—can distract students, reduce their concentration, and negatively affect academic performance. This research aims to examine how cellphone usage influences attention span, learning outcomes, and classroom behavior among students.

Analysis (Explore) Objective: Analyze the selected literature’s relevance and citation accuracy. Facilitate a discussion: Why are some excerpts more relevant than others? What criteria did you use? Review students’ citations, pointing out correct formatting and common mistakes. Compare the citation styles side by side with examples to highlight differences.
Application (Transfer) Objective: Apply selection, citation, and synthesis skills independently. Students individually/ Pair: Find one additional relevant literature source on their own research topic (or assigned topic). Create a proper citation in APA, MLA, or Chicago style. Write a 4 A’s synthesis paragraph for that source.
