1. Review
“Well, I guess we are all set. So, before
we proceed to our new topic. Can I
ask someone from the class who can
tell me about the topic we have

story of an old man who wished to

4. Development of the Lesson

Presentation of the Lesson

Introduction of the Author
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was a
Spanish writer who is widely regarded
as a greatest writer in the Spanish
language and one of the world’s pre-
eminent novelists. His novel “Don
Quixote” has been translated into over
140 languages and dialects. It is after
 the Bible, the most translated book in
the world.

At this moment, I will let you read the

selection once again for 10 minutes.
(They were tasked to have an advance
reading of the selection.)
Take note of the characters and
important events in the story.

After reading, the teacher will present

some guide questions to answer based
on the selection.

5. Analysis
Now, it’s time to enter the adventures
of Don Quixote. I have here some
guide questions for you to answer.
Guide Answers:
Guide Questions:
1. Mr. Quixana is a 50-
1. Who is Mr. Quixana? (The teacher will year-old very old
ask the class about Mr. Quixana.) Why fashioned and
is it he was called “the good Mr. famous gentleman
Quixana” by his neighbours? living in the province
of La Mancha, Spain.
He was called “the
good Mr. Quixana”
by his neighbours
because he was truly
a good, kind, and
lovable gentleman.

2. Did the selection say that Mr. Quixana 2. Yes, he reads much
read much? Is it true that if he did not but not history or
read much he could have known books of travel but
more? exclusively to stories
of knights and their
daring deeds. Yes,
because too much
reading does not
always improve the
mind, it is our
experiences rather.

3. What did he name his noble horse? 3. He named it

What was the meaning of it? (Discuss to “Rozinante” where
 the class how his name became “Don
Quixote”)
4. As he seeks for some worthy adventure,
what dreadful thought came into his
mind? Did he give up or not?
5. If you were to live during the time of
Don Quixote in the novel, how would
you deal with his behaviour? Will you
also do the same just like how the
innkeeper treated him?
6. Abstraction
Alright, now, what was your reaction
about the story after reading or after
we discussed the entire selection?
Who was the main character or the
protagonist in the story?
Did he become successful in
journey?
“rozin” – common
horse and “ante” –
before or formerly.
4. It was the thought
about knighthood
and chivalry. He
must be knighted to
be called a knight.
No, Don Quixote
never gave up even
though he was
already in a difficult
dilemma. He was too
brave and too
desperate (in a
good way) just to
become a noble
knight.
5. I think I will also act
just likely how the
innkeeper behaves
towards him.
It was great Sir. At first, we
thought that it was a boring
story but after reading it,
we realized that it was
really fun living life and
letting ourselves or others
accept who we truly are.
“Don Quixote – an old man
who wished to become a
knight”
his “Yes, he was successful. He
was able to achieve the
honour of knighthood.”
 What moral lesson in the selection did There is value in all people
you get? Can you identify one? regardless of social
standing, worldview,
weight, age, etc.
“Humour and laughter are
the universal languages
(Ivy Lin, High School
Teacher)”.

Very well, now, I want you to reflect to

this statement and decide what you (Varied Answers)
are going to choose.
If you were bothered by someone like
what happened to Don Quixote or if
you encounter similar events later on,
what will you do to that person, are you
going to bring that person to the reality
or let that person stay in his/her reality?
