Class I have a question: why do you think Because the object inside might be
that some of the volunteers were afraid of something scary.
putting their hands inside the box?

Correct! But we used our senses to figure No, sir. Because they wouldn’t have any
out what’s inside right? However, do you clue what is inside the box.
think the volunteers will be able to find out
what’s inside if the object is something
they are not familiar with?

That’s correct! So for those who were Memory/schema/stock knowledge.

familiar with the object, they were able to
find out what was inside the box. And what
do you call that familiarity?

That’s right!

C. Lesson Proper/Discussion
a. For today’s lesson, we’ll be attempting to
unlock the message of a poem by taking a
look at the images that are used by the
author.

But before that, let’s review what Sensory
Images are. Can someone read its
definition from the board?
“Imagery is the literary term used for
language and description that appeals to
our five senses. When a writer attempts to
describe something so that it appeals to
our sense of smell, sight, taste, touch, or
hearing; he/she has used imagery.

Now let’s take a look at how imagery was

used in a poem by William Carlos Williams
entitled “The Red Wheelbarrow”. I’ll read
the poem first and then you read it
altogether.

(Teacher reads the poem out loud in front

of the class.)

Your turn. Read it altogether. (Class reads the poem altogether.)

Let’s look at the first two stanzas:

“so much depends
upon

a red wheel 3
barrow”

Immediately, what is being emphasized That the wheel borrow is very important.
from the line? Because a lot depends on it.
 Exactly. So how did the author use the He used it to represent something very
image of a red wheel barrow? important.

Very good! Let’s look at the rest of the

poem:
“glazed with rain
water

beside the white

chicken.”

What images are present in the rest of the Rain water and white chickens
poem?

Why do you think did the author include To depict an honest image of a work tool.
these images? What is their significance?

Why do you say that it’s honest. Because the images add more to the
importance of such work tools. It affects us
readers by realizing how important they
are in our lives.

Exactly. Lastly, how does imagery work in The images in the poem helps the reader
the entirety of the poem? understand something that’s abstract--like
Very good! dependency--to something more concrete.

b. Generalization
 What are sensory images?
 How does it help us understand a
text?

c. Evaluation

group’s task is to describe LOVE using one
of the five senses by writing a short poem.

their poems in front of the class. You will
be evaluated with the following criteria:
