Mindfulness Moment

Mindfulness is a technique aimed at centering attention on the present moment, fostering a sense of calm and focus. This practice includes deep breathing exercises and becoming aware of the body, helping learners to prepare mentally for the lesson and improving their concentration.

2. Inform the class that you’ll engage in a short mindfulness practice to help everyone centre their thoughts.

3. Instruct them to either close their eyes or focus their gaze softly on a spot ahead.

4. Guide them to breathe deeply through their noses, filling their lungs before exhaling gently through their mouths.

5. As they breathe, encourage them to focus on the feeling of the air moving in and out of their bodies.

6. Prompt learners to notice any tension in their bodies, and as they exhale, to imagine releasing that tension.

7. After a few minutes of breathing, ask the students to pay attention to the sounds around them, acknowledging these without judgement.

8. Wrap up the activity by inviting them to gently open their eyes and return their focus to the classroom, ready to delve into the lesson.

Kontekstualisasi Konten

The processes of production and consumption are part of our everyday experiences. When we consider what we consume—from food to toys—we start to think about how those products get to us. Everything we use has undergone production, circulation, and consumption. Understanding these processes helps us to recognize how our decisions can affect our environment and community. For instance, when we think about a chocolate bar, it’s passed through numerous hands: farmers, factories, transporters, and shops before it reaches us. By examining these stages, we can cultivate a stronger sense of social responsibility and make more informed and sustainable choices in our lives.

Panduan Teori

Durasi: (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Production: This is the process of making goods and services. It involves turning raw materials into products we can use, such as transforming cocoa into chocolate. It includes stages like planting, harvesting, manufacturing, and packaging.

2. Circulation: Circulation is about the journey products take from their place of production to us, the consumers. This covers things like transport, storage, and distribution—think about how chocolate moves from factory to shop shelves.

3. Consumption: This is about the act of purchasing and using products and services, shaped by cultural, economic, and personal influences. For instance, the choice to buy and enjoy a chocolate bar.

4. Social and Environmental Impacts: All these processes have consequences for society and the environment. Production can involve harmful pesticides or pollution from factories. Circulation adds to carbon emissions through transportation, and overconsumption can lead to waste and environmental harm.

5. Practical Examples: Clothing: Made in factories, delivered by road, and sold in retail shops. Food: Grown on farms, transported to markets, purchased by families. Electronics: Extracted metals, manufactured in factories, sold in specialist shops.

6. Definitions: Raw material: Basic materials used in the production process. Distribution: The logistics of getting products to sales points. Sustainability: Practices that protect natural resources and are eco-friendly.

Durasi: (35 - 40 minutes)

Production, Circulation, and Consumption Circuit

In this activity, learners will simulate the stages of production, circulation, and consumption of a product. They will work in small groups, each representing a different stage of the process (production, circulation, consumption). At the end, they will discuss the social and environmental ramifications of each phase.

1. Split the class into three groups: Production, Circulation, and Consumption.

2. Provide materials to create a simple product (like a paper toy).

3. The Production group will 'manufacture' the product from the materials given.

4. The Circulation group will act out the transportation of the manufactured items to the consumers, using toy carts or walking.

5. The Consumption group will 'purchase' and 'make use of' the delivered products.

6. After the simulation, gather all groups for a discussion about their observations during the activity.

Diskusi dan Umpan Balik Kelompok

For the group discussion, use the RULER method:

1. Recognize: Encourage students to identify the emotions they experienced at each stage of the process. Ask them: How did you feel during the production, transport, or consumption phases?
2. Understand: Help them explore the reasons behind those emotions. Ask: What led to that feeling? How do those feelings influence your actions and decisions?
3. Name: Motivate learners to articulate their emotions accurately, suggesting terms like frustrated, excited, anxious, or satisfied.
4. Express: Guide them in sharing their emotions in a respectful manner. Create an environment where they can feel comfortable discussing their experiences.
5. Regulate: Talk about methods to manage emotions effectively. Ask: What can you do to improve your mood or stay calm in similar situations?

This feedback will aid learners in building socio-emotional skills like self-awareness, self-control, and social awareness as they reflect on their experiences during the activity.

Durasi: (20 - 25 minutes)

Refleksi dan Regulasi Emosional

After the Production, Circulation, and Consumption Circuit activity, have learners contemplate the challenges they faced during the lesson and how they managed their emotions. This reflection can take the form of written paragraphs where each student describes their experience, or through group discussions. Encourage them to pinpoint specific moments of strong emotions and how they dealt with those feelings. Ask: 'What was the toughest challenge you faced today? How did it make you feel, and what did you do to handle that emotion?'

Tujuan: The purpose of this reflection section is to encourage self-assessment and emotional regulation, assisting learners in identifying effective methods for managing difficulties. By contemplating their feelings and actions, students nurture greater self-awareness and self-control—essential skills for emotional growth and academic success.

Pandangan ke Masa Depan

To close off the lesson, ask learners to set personal and academic goals in relation to the topics discussed. Clarify that these goals should be specific, measurable, and achievable. For example, a student might aim to cut down on plastic use at home and research more about the environmental impacts of food production. Encourage them to share their goals with the class, strengthening a sense of accountability and collective support.

Penetapan Tujuan:

1. Minimise plastic use at home.

2. Investigate the environmental effects of food production.

3. Practice recycling materials.

4. Support the family in making more sustainable consumption choices.

5. Learn about the production chain of the products they purchase.

6. Engage in school activities focused on sustainability. Tujuan: The aim of this conclusion section is to enhance students' independence and the practical implementation of their learning, seeking continuity in their academic and personal development. Establishing clear and realistic goals encourages students to commit to actions that reflect a deeper understanding of the production and consumption processes and their impacts.
