6 TEXT BUBBLE: CORRECT!

7 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: That’s right! Your brain is working in the given tasks

8 because you thought of the solutions to the puzzles. Now, can you tell me your

9 ideas about the brain? What are its uses and functions (Pause)?

10 CUT TO ILLUSTRATION OF THE BRAIN.

11 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: Wow brilliant idea, that’s right!

12 CUT TO PRESENTATION OF THE DEFINITION OF BRAIN

13 CUT TO ILLUSTRATION OF A BRAIN

14 VO: Brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the Human body. It is

15 made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicates trillions of

16 connections called synapses.

17 CUT TO TEXT BUBBLE: SYNAPSES

18 VO: Synapses are found where nerve cells connect with other nerve cells.

19 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: They are the key to the brain function, especially when

20 it comes to memory, is that clear? ( pause)

21 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: Class the brain has three major parts- the cerebrum,

22 the cerebellum, and the brain stem.

TEXT OVERLAY 3 MAJOR PARTS OF THE BRAIN: CEREBRUM,

1 CEREBELLUM, BRAIN STEM.

3 CUT TO PRESENTATION OF THE FUNCTION OF BRAIN STEM:

4 VO: The brain stem connects the spinal cord and the brain. It controls functions

5 that keep people alive such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and food

6 digestion. Those activities occur without any thought.

7 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: You aren’t telling yourself, “Inhale, exhale, inhale”

8 You’re just breathing. Things are different in the cerebellum.

9 TEXT OVERLAY: CEREBELLUM

10 CUT TO PRESENTATION OF THE FUNCTIONS OF CEREBELLUM:

11 VO: Cerebellum is the region that controls voluntary movement. When you want

12 to lift your fork, wave your hand, brush your hair or wink to a cutie, you form the

13 thought and then an area in the cerebellum translate your will into action,

14 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: The third part is the cerebrum; it is the largest of the

15 three brain sections and accounts for about eighty five percent of the brain’s

16 weight. This part of the brain has four lobes.

17 TEXT OVERLAY: CEREBRUM

18 CUT TO PRESENTATION OF THE FRONTAL, PARIETAL, TEMPORAL AND

19 OCCIPITAL LOBES

20 The frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital are the four lobes of the cerebrum.

21 Each of these lobes has specific functions. Their names were taken from the

22 sections of the skull which are next to them. the parietal lobe helps people

understand what they say and feel,

4 while the frontal lobe determines personality and emotions.

5 TEXT OVERLAY FRONTAL LOBE DETERMINES PERSONALITY AND

6 EMOTIONS

7 Meanwhile, Vision functions are located in the occipital lobe,

8 TEXT OVERLAY VISION FUNCTIONS ARE LOCATED IN THE OCCIPITAL

9 LOBE
10 Hearing and word recognition abilities are processed in the temporal lobe.

11 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: Did you get it, class? (PAUSE) Very good. New

12 concepts about the brain will be discussed further after these few reminders.

13 INFOMERCIAL

14 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: You’re still watching TV Eskwela for Personal

15 Development. Now, let’s proceed with our lesson. Are you familiar with the term

16 brain lateralization?

17 TEXT OVERLAY: BRAIN LATERALIZATION

18 Good to hear that.

19 CUT TO PRESENTATION OF BRAIN LATERALIZATION

20 VO: Brain lateralization is a complex and ongoing process by which different

21 regions of the brain “takeover” the functioning of specific behavior and its

22 cognitive skills.

TV ESKWELA TEACHER: Lateralization literally means that certain functions are

1 located (in par or total) on one side of the brain. That’s why we have our left side

2 of the brain and right side of the brain for specific functions.

5 CUT TO ILLUSTRATION OF THE RIGHT AND LEFT BRAIN.

6 Let’s dig deeper with the right hemisphere.

7 CUT TO PRESENTATION OF THE RIGHT BRAIN

8 VO: The right side of the brain includes the following functions: your intuitive

9 thought, holistic perception, random sequencing, emotional thought, non-verbal

10 adventurous, impulse, imagination left field version, and left side motor skills.

11 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: Also, The right side controls attention, memory,

12 reasoning, and problem solving. On the other hand, left hemisphere is responsible

13 with logic and academic functions.

14 CUT TO PRESENTATION OF THE LEFT BRAIN

15 VO: The left brain is responsible for your analytical- thought. Some of its

16 functions include detail-oriented perception, ordered sequencing, rational

17 thought, verbal, cautiousness, planning, math/science, logic, right field vision, and

18 right-side motor skills.

19 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: To sum it all, the brain is one of the most important

20 parts of the body, and is divided into left and right side, each with specific

21 dominant functions. Did you understand the different parts, processes and

functions of the brain? (PAUSE)

CUT TO PRESENTATION RESEARCHERS BELIEVE

1 VO: Researchers believe that the brain dominance determines a person’s

2 preference of problem solving style, personality characteristics, and even career

3 choices. For example, a right brain individual will quickly get a feeling for a

4 situation while a left-brain person will usually ask a lot of questions first.

5 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: Did you understand our lesson class? (PAUSE) Very

6 good! For now, you have to brace yourselves because when we get back, an

7 activity awaits you.

12 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: Your task is to check which side of the brain is more

13 dominant in you. Write the word YES if it applies to you and write NO if it
14 doesn’t. Are you ready? (pause) Let’s begin

15 CUT TO PRESENTATION:

16 1.I AM VERY ORGANIZED.

17 2.I AM VERY LOGICAL WHEN IT COMES TO DECISION

18 3. I ENJOY ANSWERING MATHEMATICS AND SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS

19 4. I PERFORM WELL IN WRITTEN TASKS

3 4. I perform well in written tasks

6 5. I can’t be creative at times

7 6. I am right-handed.

7. I easily learn other languages and dialects.

8
TV ESKWELA TEACHER: If most of your answers are YES, this means that the
9
left side of the brain is more dominant in you. But if most of your answers are NO,
10
this means that your right brain is more dominant than the left. Now, which part
11
of your brain is more dominant? (PAUSE) Very good!

9 students or individuals? Explain briefly.

10 3.) What was the result of your handedness test? (pause) if you are left-handed,

11 how will you develop the functions and other specialized skills in your right

12 hemisphere to be ambidextrous? (pause) draw your personal plan to enhance your

13 brain functions.

14 TV ESKWELA TEACHER: I’m sure you have learned something new today. For
