III - LEARNING TASKS


 Introduction:
“Our personal conflicts make us better
persons.”
Problems and challenges are part of our humanity. There
were times
we felt we were lost, confused, troubled, belittled, forgotten, or
frustrated.
But these problems are not enough reasons for us to give up
on our
lives. We have a lot of blessings to count that can outnumber our
problems.
One of the blessings we have our friends and our classmates who are
ready
to listen to us.

 Preliminary Activity:
TASK 1. LET’S WATCH!
Before the video clips are shown, the teacher will orient
the students
that while they are watching they will have to consider a few
questions which
they will answer after watching the clips.
The questions are the following:
1. What do you see in the video? Describe.
2. Who are the characters and what are they doing? How do they
look
and what do they say?
3. Have you and your family or your friends ever experienced
the
problem or a similar problem?
4. What do you think are the causes of the problem/s shown in
the clips?
5. What solutions to the problems were done? Were they done
individually or collectively? Can solutions to problems be
achieved
when everybody does his part? How?
The video clip from
https://www.google.com.ph/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=Q7O3WI3iK6-
l8we9q6aoBQ#q=daedalus+and+icarus&tbm=vid&* will be shown to the
students.
After the students have watched the clips, the teacher will
encourage
the students to share orally their points of view and their
positions about the
presentations.

We are an emerging division where excellence is a habit and allegiance for quality
is a pledge.

TASK 2. YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND
Remember the time when you were weak and low. Fill out the
balloons
with your experiences that show them. Share your answers with your
group
mates.

TASK 3. READ TO ACHIEVE


The teacher will guide the students in understanding the
story. The
following guide questions may be used:
Facts and Details
1. Who hired Daedalus?
2. What did Daedalus design to hold the Minotaur?
3. What did Daedalus invent to help him and Icarus escape from
the
Labyrinth?
4. What did he warn Icarus not to do?
5. What happened to Icarus?
What’s Going On?
1. Why did Minos imprison Daedalus in the Labyrinth?
2. Why did Minos think that, if Daedalus can‘t find his way
out, ―so much
the better‖?
3. Minos tells Icarus that the plan is dangerous. Why does he
want them
to take this risk?
4. Why did Daedalus leave his wings on the altar of Apollo? Why
wouldn‘t he want to fly some more?
Digging Deeper
1. In a short paragraph, describe how Daedalus planned to
escape from
the island prison of Crete.
2. Do you think Daedalus‘ plan is a good one? Explain your
answer.
3. Which events in the myth could have happened in real life?
4. If you had access to building resources and materials , how
would you
design a flying machine to help you escape from the island
prison of
Crete?

We are an emerging division where excellence is a habit and allegiance for quality
is a pledge.

ABSTRACTION
TASK 5. MY PRAYER
The teacher will make the students realize that negative
experiences
can make us even better persons, only if we are able to overcome
them. The
teacher will call on some students for them to share what they do
to
overcome challenges.
She will also mention about the main characters of
Daedalus and
Icarus who themselves experienced trials and difficulties in their
lives. Then, a
hanging question will be left: How do you relate your experiences
with those
of Daedalus and Icarus.
The students will have the same grouping for their
abstraction. They will
write what they learned through a prayer.

Sample prayer:
Father in Heaven,
We do admit we sometimes disobey our parents,
and in doing so, we do offend you, too.
Help us be more docile to your promptings,
and in doing so, we may show our love for
them,
too.
Amen.

 Introduction:
Greek mythology is the body of myths and teachings that
belong to
the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of
the
world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and
ritual practices. It
was a part of the religion in ancient Greece. Modern scholars refer
to and
study the myths in an attempt to shed light on the religious and
political
institutions of Ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain
understanding
of the nature of myth-making itself.

 Introduction:
Pronoun is a part of speech substituted to a noun in a
sentence. The
noun replaced by a pronoun is called antecedent.

 Preliminary Activity:
TASK 1. LET US REVIEW!
What are the different parts of speech? Write them in the
graphic
organizer below.

(in any order).
Share your work in class.

ACTIVITY
TASK 2. INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM
Study the following notes about reflexive and intensive
pronouns. Write
your findings on your notebook. Then, share your findings to your
classmates.
A reflexive pronoun ends with -self or -selves and refers
to the subject
of a sentence. In a sentence with a reflexive pronoun, the action
of the verb
returns to the subject. The words myself, yourself, himself,
herself, itself,
ourselves, yourselves, and themselves are reflexive pronouns.
We bought ourselves pretzels at the fair.
My brother made himself some dinner.
You can walk to school by yourself.
The words myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself,
ourselves, yourselves,
and themselves can also be used as intensive pronouns. Use an
intensive
pronoun to draw special attention to a noun or a pronoun already
named.
Intensive pronouns usually appear right after the noun or pronoun

that
Polydectes was dead, Danae yearned to go home again and be
reconciled
to her father. (4) So Perseus made the fisherman Dictys King of
island and
sailed with his mother and Andromeda to Greece.
(5-6) But it happened that when they came to Argos, King
Acrisius was
away from home. (7) Games were being held in Larissa, and Perseus,
hearing
of them, decided to go there and take part. (8) And there at the
game it was
that the oracle which Acrisius had received at Delphi was strangely
fulfilled.
(9) For when it came to Perseus‘ turn to throw the discus, (10-11)
he threw it so
that it swerved to one side. (12) It landed among the spectators
and killed an
old man. That old man was King Acrisius, who had gone to such cruel
lengths
to avoid the fate which the gods had ordained.

III - LEARNING TASKS
 Introduction:
In English grammar, a modal is a verb that combines
with another
verb to indicate mood or tense. A modal (also known as a modal
auxiliary or modal verb) expresses necessity, uncertainty,
ability, or
permission.
Most linguists agree that there are 10 core or central
modals in
English: can, could, may, might, must, ought, shall, should,
will, and would.
Other verbs—including need, had better and
invariant be—may also
function as modals (or semi-modals).
Unlike other auxiliaries, modals
have no -s, -ing, -en,
or infinitive forms. (Because ought requires a to-
infinitive complement,
some linguists regard it as a marginal modal.)

http://grammar.about.com/od/mo/g/modalterm.html

 Preliminary Activity:
TASK 1. WATCH AND LEARN
Watch a video clip on how modals are categorized. While
watching, take
down notes so that they would remember the list of modals. The clip
can be
downloaded from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpA_McVjorM

TASK 2. GAME KNB?
Form a team composed of 6 members. Every member must take
his
turn to answer a set of questions. Note: Each member is only
allowed to take
his turn twice, otherwise, his team would be disqualified.
Assign three students who will act as watchers. They will
be the one to
monitor who will answer the question first by identifying the
fastest students
who could raise their hands.
The team who could get the highest points would be declared
winner.

B. Scout for Remarkable/Influential Figures
• From the literary selections you have explored in class,
choose at
least three characters (e.g., in mythology, classics, or
oral tradition)
who have made a great impression on you about resolving
personal
conflicts or who have influenced your outlook in life.
• Rank them according to your preference.

these characters
that helped them resolve personal conflict.
• Consider what they have in common and how they differ.
• Use these to support your ideas.

C. Unlimited
• Take a closer look at these samples of photo essay (to be
provided
by your teacher) and find out how each establishes the
tone, mood,
and theme of the essay through visuals and text.
• Since visuals are keys to the meaning of your work,
collect photos,
pictures (from magazines, newspapers, print ads,
commercial ads,
journals, etc.), drawings, video segment (if
possible), or illustrations
that show and relate to the theme or the message of your
chosen
literary selections.
• Display these pictures, drawings, illustrations, or video
segments.
Use the visuals / graphics to highlight the incidents and
examples
which are used as support and evidences for impact.
Remember to
explain the significance of each illustration or drawing.
The text should
be serious and straightforward. Your opinion (personal
feelings or
beliefs) about the characters and the incidents must
support the
drawing or illustration.
• Organize these visuals and text according to your
preference, and
establish the connection between and among your visuals,
texts, and
main idea. Do not forget to show how the visuals and text
convey your
main idea, then use them to prove your stand about how one
can
deal with personal challenges.
• Summarize the ideas you have presented, restate your
position or
stand, and invite your audience to deal with personal
challenges
positively. Provide a catchy and meaningful title of your
photo essay.
• Edit, refine, and polish your work.

III - LEARNING TASKS
 Introduction:
A persuasive essay is a piece of writing that attempts to
convince the
readers to agree with author‘s ideas. In this type of essay, the
writer can use
his own ideas, opinions and evoke the emotions in the reader in
order to
convince them to agree to his opinion. A writer of a persuasive
essay needs
to do research, gather evidence, but a clever writer can create a
successful
essay without knowing much. This is because; a persuasive writing
appeals
more to reader‘s emotions rather than minds. In persuasive writing,
the writer
should have certain awareness about the audience. For example,
opinions
and ideas that could appeal to teenagers may not have the same
effect on
adults. First person narration and Second person narration (Ex: In
my opinion, I
believe, etc.,) are commonly used as the writer is addressing the
audience
directly.

Practice and Uphold the Positive Attitude


by Lee Em

I strongly believe that we must come together to practice


and
uphold positive attitudes toward work, life, and challenges. This
should be
done from initial impulse to completion like what we observe in a
myth.
From the presentation of the target, problem, test, and stakes up
to
conclusion, the character in a myth displays and exemplifies these
positive attitudes. Remember the saying, ―The best measure of a man
is
not what he says he can do but what he does.‖ This is absolutely
true.
Let us recall what happened between the Master and the
thief in
―Zen Parables.‖ The thief who was then a man who followed a crooked
path in life turned otherwise because he learned from the Master
what it
takes to be a man. He was treated with respect and trust by the
Master
so he opted to follow the Master‘s path. Again, this exemplifies
the
maxim, ―Respect bets respect.‖
He decided to be Shichiri‘s disciple. He was inspired by
Shichiri
who lived a life a truth and a life full of positivism. He had
practiced it in
dealing with other people without discrimination. The Master was
able to
model what it takes to respect, trust, and show love to other
people. This
is a positive attitude that we must put into action whoever we are,
wherever we are, and whenever necessary.
Doubtlessly, this will make our lives better. There is a
strong
possibility that this can make this world a better place to live in
after all.
This is an opportune time for us to practice it. Don‘t think
otherwise, come
on! So what are we waiting for? Let‘s give it a try!

 Introduction:
Korean Confucianism is the form of Confucianism that
emerged and
developed in Korea. One of the most substantial influences in
Korean
intellectual history was the introduction of Confucian thought as
part of the
cultural influence from China. Today the legacy of Confucianism
remains a
fundamental part of Korean society, shaping the moral system, the
way of
life, social relations between old and young, high culture, and is
the basis for
much of the legal system. Confucianism in Korea is sometimes
considered a
pragmatic way of holding a nation together without the civil wars
and
internal dissent that were inherited from the Goryeo dynasty, and
before.

 Preliminary Activity:
TASK 1. PROVING PROVERBS
If you ever had someone say to you, ‗‘ Don‘t cry over
spilled milk,‘‘ or
comment , ‗‘ Easy come, easy go,‘‘ then you have received advice in
the
form of a proverb. Proverbs are simply short bits of wisdom that
people all
over the world have used for thousands of years. Proverbs offer
advice and
explanations on how we ought to feel about the things that happen
to us.
They don‘t lecture or preach sermons; they sum up in a few well-
chosen

one‘s parents, talking politely to one‘s parents, supporting family
traditions,
caring for elderly family members and living in a way that brings
honor to the
family name.
Tell the class that respect for parents — also called ―filial
piety‖ — is a
cherished virtue in Confucianism, a philosophy in China that has
been a chief
cultural influence for centuries. In Confucian teaching, filial
piety should guide
the thoughts and actions of children toward their parents
throughout their
lives and help individuals to understand their place in society as
they
demonstrate respect to all elders.
Display the chart ―Confucianism and Filial Piety.‖ Explain

a few examples of Confucian teachings related to filial piety. Read
through
the quotes one by one and ask students to interpret their meanings.
Record
student ideas to the right of each quote. Then discuss:
1. How might defining family roles and responsibilities
contribute to the
Confucian goal of social harmony?

APPLICATION
TASK 5. CLIPPINGS
Use a world map to point out where China is located.
Explain that the
traditional family in China is changing with
the country‘s rapid
industrialization. Today, China has more than 130 million workers
who migrate
to jobs in urban areas so they can support their families back
home. Tell
students that they are going to watch a series of video clips that
show the
circumstances of the Zhang family, whose story is representative of
millions of
others.
Set up the clips by explaining that the Zhangs have two
children, who
have been raised in the family‘s home village in Sichuan province
while the
parents work together in a garment factory in Guangzhou, a city in
Guangdong province. Use a political map of China to show the class
where
these areas are located. Point out that there are about 1,300 miles
between
where the parents live and where the children live. Explain that
children are
unable to migrate with their parents because in China access to
public
benefits, such as education and health care, is tied to one‘s place
of birth.
Then, show Clip 1.
1. What roles do poverty and family relationships play in
the willingness
of workers to endure long separations from family?
2. How do you think traditional Chinese culture will be
affected over
time by the circumstances of China‘s migrant workers?
How can China better balance economic development with the needs of
its
people?
3. Show Clips 3 and 4 to explain further how living apart
has affected
the Zhang family. In Clip 3, Suqin explains why she left her one-
year-old
daughter Qin at home 16 years earlier. Clip 4 shows how Qin has
resented her
parents‘ absence.
After watching the clips, point out that Qin feels that
her parents
abandoned her and that they only care about money, but her mother
believes that her sacrifice demonstrates her love for her children
because she
is working to give them a more economically secure life. Ask
students to
describe how these divergent perspectives have affected the family
bond
between mother and daughter.
