3. Analysis

Unlocking of Difficulties

Today, we will discuss the poem “If” by

Rudyard Kipling. We will define first the

difficult words found in the poem which were

given to you yesterday as your assignment.

Everybody read the words and its meaning.

Since you already know the words that can

be found difficult in the poem, let’s move on

to the reading and discussion of the poem.

(Giving the background of Rudyard Kipling

and to the poem itself.)

Group yourselves into four groups. Each

group must have one representative only for

your reporting. We will have a draw lots for

the different stanzas that you will be going to

report. After the reporting I will ask some

questions and answer it orally. I will also give

some points.

I have different colored objects here. Each

color indicates different points.

Red – 10 pts.

Green – 5 pts.

Yellow – 7 pts.

from you and provoke you to do evil actions.

___9.Always does what is right and just.

___10.Have hope even life is hard.

Disaster – it means misfortune or bad luck

Foe – they are your enemies or opponents

Heap – stack or bundle

Impostors – pretenders or fakes

Knaves - a dishonest man

Sinew – strength

Stoop – means to bow or to bend

Trap – trick or set up or deception

Virtue – good quality or morally good

Triumph – these are your achievements,

accomplishments, or successes

Worn-out - used until no longer usable or

effective

Twisted - forced out of its natural or proper

shape; crumpled

Pitch-and-toss - a gambling game in which the

player who manages to throw a coin closest to

a mark gets to toss all the coins, winning those

that land with the head up

Orange – 3 pts.

White – 2 pts.

The group who will get highest points will

get the highest grades for today’s lesson.

We will watch first a video.

We will have mp3 music on how to read the

poem “If” by Rudyard Kipling. Afterwards, you

will read the poem.

(Reading the poem.)

If

By Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt

you,

But make allowance for their doubting too:

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your

master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your

aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same:.

If you can bear to hear the truth you've

spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to,

broken,

And stoop and build'em up with worn-out

tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings,

And never breathe a word about your loss:

If you can force your heart and nerve and

sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your

virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common

touch,

4. Abstraction

Based on our lesson for today, who can tell

from the class the summary of the poem?

Roselyn.

Excellent.

5. Application

Is the message of the poem relates with

your different experiences in life? Why?

Very well said!

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much:

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

(Reporting…)

(Having their oral recitation of the poem.)

Rudyard Kipling's poem "If--" is a poem that

advocates confidence, honesty and fortitude,

laying out for the reader the things he must do

if he is to maintain his self-control and become

a man.

Yes.

"If" is written as if a father is talking to his

son, it is based on real-life situation giving his

son advice on the way to behave to obtain the

reputation of being an outstanding citizen of

the community and the world.
