Learning across curriculum:


1) Mathematics - Explore the concept of economic institutions and their impact on
social behavior. Analyze the relationship between supply and demand in the market
and how it is influenced by formal and informal institutions.
2) Biology - Investigate how biological factors can influence the formation and
functioning of institutions. Examine the role of genetics and evolutionary psychology
in shaping social behavior and the development of formal and informal institutions.
3) Literature - Analyze literary works that explore the themes of social institutions
and their impact on individual behavior. Examine how authors depict the constraints
and freedoms imposed by formal and informal institutions in their characters' lives.

ENGAGE:
Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing

Instructional Materials: Role cards, props


1) Idea - Divide the class into groups and assign each group a specific institution
(e.g., government, family, school). Ask them to create a role-play scenario where
they act out how the institution constrains social behavior. Encourage creativity and
critical thinking.
2) Idea - Use a mystery box activity where students have to guess the hidden
institution based on clues. This activity will pique their curiosity and spark
discussions about the role of institutions in society.

EXPLORE:
Activity 1: Analyzing Economic Institutions

Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning

Materials: Articles or case studies about economic institutions, graphic organizers

Significance: Students will understand how economic institutions shape social


behavior and the functioning of markets.

Instructions:
1) Provide students with articles or case studies about different economic
institutions.
2) In groups, students will analyze the articles and identify the actors and constraints
associated with each institution.
3) Students will create a graphic organizer to summarize their findings.

Rubric:
- Identification of actors and constraints: 10 pts
- Accuracy and clarity of the graphic organizer: 10 pts

Assessment Questions:
1) How do economic institutions influence social behavior?
2) Give an example of a formal economic institution and explain how it constrains
social behavior.
3) Discuss the role of actors in informal economic institutions.

Activity 2: Biological Factors and Social Behavior

Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning

Materials: Research articles on biological factors and social behavior, chart paper,
markers

Significance: Students will explore how biological factors interact with formal and
informal institutions to shape social behavior.

Instructions:
1) Assign students to groups and provide them with research articles on biological
factors and social behavior.
2) In their groups, students will read and discuss the articles, identifying key
biological factors and their influence on social behavior.
3) Each group will create a chart summarizing their findings and present it to the
class.

Rubric:
- Identification of key biological factors: 10 pts
- Clarity and organization of the chart: 10 pts

Assessment Questions:
1) How do biological factors interact with formal and informal institutions to shape
social behavior?
2) Give an example of a biological factor that can influence the formation of informal
institutions.
3) Discuss the limitations of biological explanations for social behavior.

Activity 3: Exploring Social Institutions in Literature

Teaching Strategy: Discussion

Materials: Short stories or excerpts from novels that depict social institutions,
discussion questions

examples of formal and informal institutions.
- The teacher will facilitate a discussion with students, encouraging them to ask
questions and clarify any doubts or misconceptions.

ELABORATE:
Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning

Task 1: Students will conduct interviews with individuals who have experienced the
influence of formal and informal institutions in their lives. They will analyze the
interview data and present their findings in a multimedia presentation.

Task 2: Students will research a specific institution of their choice and create a
visual representation (e.g., infographic, poster) that highlights the actors and
constraints associated with that institution.

EVALUATE:
Teaching Strategy: Case Studies

Instructional Materials: Case studies related to formal and informal institutions

Question 1: Analyze a case study involves a formal institution. Identify the actors
involved and discuss how the institution constrains social behavior.

Question 2: Discuss a case study that involves an informal institution. Explain the
role of actors in shaping social behavior within that institution.

Question 3: Compare and contrast the impacts of a formal and an informal


institution on social behavior, using examples from the case studies.

Assignment:
1) Assignment Overview: Students will conduct research on a specific formal or
informal institution and write a reflection paper discussing its constitutive nature and
its actors' influence on social behavior.
2) Assessment Question: Choose a formal or informal institution and explain how it
