Reading and Thinking
Approach)
13
The teacher instructs students on
the reading and discussion of the
story. The teacher uses DRTA in
the reading process.

The strategy enables students to

give predictions before
proceeding to the next part of the
story. The teacher also gives
questions to check students’
comprehension.

The story is divided into five parts

so the teacher divides the class
into five.

Each group gives predictions and

later reads the part assigned to
them.

The teacher reads the first part of

the story.

Are you ready now ready to

read? Yes Ma’am.

Sit erect, hold your copies and

read with me. Yes Ma’am

We are all reading the story and

your team will be your
character. I will be the
narrator. Right after reading
every part of the story, you will
give predictions on the next
events.

PART 1

NARRATOR: LONG AGO on the

Arabian Peninsula, merchants
traveled in caravans to carry
spices, almonds and dates along
major trade routes that
crisscrossed the desert. Where
trade routes crossed is where a
number of cities flourished. In
one of those cities there ruled a
king whose daughter had come of
marriageable age. Three princes
of nearby cities came to court
her. But the princess looked at
them with alarm. One prince was
bossy, the second prince was
unclean in his habits, and the
third suitor was conceited.

14
Where did the story start? A student raises his/her hand to
answer.

It started in the Arabian

peninsula.

Who are the initial characters The characters in the story are
in the story? as follows; the king, the princess,
the 3 suitors.

How many suitors did the There are 3 suitors Ma’am.

Can you describe her suitors? The first prince was bossy,
The second prince was unclean,
and the third prince was vain.

The story looks interesting Yes Ma’am, we are very excited

story.

First Prince, what do you think The first group gives predictions.
will happen next in the story?
We think that the princess will
marry one of her suitors even if
she doesn’t want to marry one of
them.

The teacher instructs the students

to read very well their assigned
character.

Pay attention and listen very

well. The student reads their assigned
part very well.

PART 2
PRINCESS: "Father, I beg you,"
she cried, "don't make me marry
any of them!"

NARRATOR: The king loved his

daughter. But he didn't want to
offend her suitors and risk
angering his neighboring city-
states.
KING: "I'll think about it, Come
15
 back tomorrow."

NARRATOR: he said to the three

suitors.
NARRATOR: The next day, he
summoned them and the princess
to his throne room.
KING: "Each of you is a perfectly
worthy suitor for my daughter's
hand," the king said. "Therefore,
to make the correct decision I
have determined that the three of
you must venture into the world
for one year and a day. Whoever
returns with the most wondrous
item will win my daughter's hand
in marriage."

NARRATOR: The princess was

glad for the one-year extension.
And the king was also glad to
postpone the matter. Who knows
what might happen in one year
and a day? Perhaps, he silently
hoped, none of them would
return.

The teacher asks questions about

the second part of the story.
No, Ma’am.
Did the princess marry one of
her suitors?
They need to venture the world
for a year and find the most
precious gift for the princess.
What did the king ask them to
do?

The princess is very happy

because she has given a chance
to think very well.
What was the reaction of the
princess?

She hopes that none of them

would return.
What was the wish of the
princess?

Very good! You have

understood very well the second
part of the story.

The teacher guides the next group
to give prediction on what will
happen next in the story.
Second Prince, what do you
think will happen next in the
story? Can you predict?
The Second prince group gives
prediction.
We think that none of them will

they will encounter a great
danger.

The teacher continues to read.

PART 3
NARRATOR: The three princes
set out together. After traveling
for one week they came to a well
that was located by a fork in the
road. At the fork, the road
branched into three separate
paths. PRINCE 1: "Obviously, this is
where we should part," stated the
first prince with great authority.

PRINCE 2: "Don't you think we

know that?" said the second
prince, wiping his dirty hands on
his cloak.

PRINCE 1: "What you didn't

think through," said the first
prince, the bossy one, "is that we
should all plan meet here one
week before we return to the
palace, to compare what we
found."

PRINCE 3: "I only hope the

maidens don't slow me down by
falling in love with me," said the
third prince, throwing back his
hair. "It can be such a nuisance."

NARRATOR: And so the three

princes agreed to the plan, and
they went their separate ways.
When the time came to return to
the well, each one followed his
separate path that led back to the
17
well.
NARRATOR: said the first
prince, as nonchalantly as he
could,
The other two were impressed
(and a bit worried).
NARRATOR: From under his
cloak the second prince unrolled
a carpet.
NARRATOR: said the conceited
prince, holding his nose. And now
it was the third prince's turn to
show what he had found.
NARRATOR: said the third
prince.
What are the items found by the

PRINCE 1: "You look a little the
worse for wear," said the first
prince to the second.
PRINCE 2: "I'm fine," said the
second prince, blowing his nose
onto his sleeve. "Tell us, what did
you find?"
PRINCE 1: "Only a crystal ball
that shows anything you want to
see that's happening anywhere in
the world."
PRINCE 1: "What wondrous item
did you find?"
PRINCE 2: "A flying carpet.
People who sit on it can be
transported anywhere in the world
they wish to go in minutes."
PRINCE 3:"If they don't mind
sitting next to you,"
PRINCE 3: "This vial holds a
magical healing ointment. One
dab of it will restore the health of
anyone, no matter how sick. And
they say if it's rubbed with true
love, can even restore youth."
The first prince found a crystal
ball.

How about the second prince?

Yes Ma’am. He found a vial with

reading the story.
PRINCE 2: "Speaking of health,
since you have a crystal ball, let's
take a look at our princess and see
how she fares."

NARRATOR: The first prince

waved his hands over the crystal
ball; its cloudiness disappeared
and was replaced with an image
of the princess lying in her bed, KING: "Isn't there anything you
as still as death. Her father and can do?"
the court physicians hovered over
her.

PHYSICIAN: "Sire, we have done

NARRATOR: Said by the head

leapt up, alarmed.
PRINCE 3: "Alas!" cried the
third prince. "My ointment would
heal her, but we're too far from
the palace - we'll never get there
in time!"
PRINCE 2: "Quick, everyone on
my magic carpet, we’ll be there in
a flash!"

NARRATOR: Said the second

prince. Indeed, moments later the
three princes were standing in the
very room they had viewed
through the crystal ball only
minutes before. Everyone was so
distraught they didn't notice the
three princes had suddenly
appeared in the room. Without a
word, the third prince stepped up

KING: "I'll think about it, Come

NARRATOR: said the third
prince. The king was perplexed.
Each of the princes made a good
argument. And since the question
was so close, no matter which
prince he selected, he was sure to
raise the ire of the other two and
their neighboring city-states.

NARRATOR: That night, the

their advice. "Sire," said his head

PRINCESS: "Each of you saved
