Triad Activity
Now, we are going to play! Are you ready?
This game is called “The Spotlight Is Yours!”
This game is easy. You will just provide the

speech is a spoken expression of
ideas, opinions, etc., that is made by

(“The Spotlight Is Yours!”)

(“The Spotlight Is Yours!”)

 It was fun, Teacher! But it’s
How was the game? challenging!
Some of you may have not provided the
exact words that the characters in the
movies say. Some of you have perfectly
remembered the exact words they say. It’s
great. Today, we will be focusing on two
ways to retell or narrate the spoken words of
a person.
B. Developmental Activity
1. Presentation of the lesson
TWO WAYS IN NARRATING THE
SPOKEN WORDS OF A PERSON
I am going to school.
(The teacher will ask the student to read the
sentence.)
I am going to school.
A. She said, “I am going to school.”

(The teacher will ask the student to read the

sentence and asked its relation to the given
sentence, “I am going to school.”)

— The actual words, (with no change)

of speakers are quoted.

— The exact words (or actual words) of

the speaker are enclosed in
inverted Commas or Quotation Marks.

— There is always a comma or a colon

after “said” that introduces the spoken
words. 

It is called, Direct Speech.

(The teacher will ask the students to read

what a direct speech is.)
(The student will read what a direct

B. She said that she was going to school.
(The teacher will ask the student to read the
sentence and asked its relation to the given
sentence, “I am going to school.”)
It is called, Indirect Speech.
speech is.)
— The actual words of speakers are
changed.(The reason for change in
actual words is that the actual words
have been spoken by the speaker in
the past. Hence, narrating it in the
present will require change in the tense
of the actual words.

— The pronouns of the sentence are

also changed accordingly.

-- The words of the speaker is not

enclosed in inverted commas, or
quotation marks.
— The word “that” will be used before
the spoken words of the person.
 

(The teacher will ask the students to read

what an indirect speech is.)
(The student will read what an indirect
speech is.)
2. Application

ROLE PLAY

We are going to have a role play.

(The teacher will ask some of his students

to perform a role play.)
(The student will perform the role play
applying the things they have learned
DIRECT/INDIRECT SPEECH. You are at about direct and indirect speech)
your school, Mrs. Cassie, who is your
amazing teacher, says to you, “I want to
meet your parents.” When you come to
 home, you will inform your parents.

INDIRECT/DIRECT SPEECH. You meet

your friend, Marga, in a market. She says to
you, “I bought a book for you.” When you
come to home, you will say the words of
Marga to your brother.

READING OF NEWS ARTICLE

I have here some excerpts from the latest
news today; you are going to identify the
paragraphs if they are in direct speech
and/or indirect speech.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical

and Astronomical Services Administration’s (The student will distinguish the direct
(Pagasa), in its 5 a.m. weather report, said and indirect speech in the paragraphs.)
“Ineng” maintained its maximum sustained
winds of 65 kilometers per hour (kph) near
the center and gustiness of up to 80 kph.

“Anti-discrimination on persons, pwede.

Pero focused on gays, which the SOGIE bill
is, and religious and academic freedom
impeded plus smuggling of same sex
marriage? No chance!,” the Senate leader
said in a text message to reporters on
Wednesday.
C. Post Activity
1. Generalization
Now, what have you learned form our
lesson today? There are two ways in narrating the
spoken words of a person. It can be in
a form of direct speech or indirect
speech. The two are different from
each other. You can easily recognize
the two by mainly basing on the tenses
and how the two are constructed.
