II. Activity
Each student will be asked to write the names of each character while watching a
short video clip, the students' will write what kind of a character Johnsy, Mr. Behrman
and Sue were based on their own understanding.
III. Analysis
The teacher will now reveal what kind of characters the three were;
 Sue - a loving and caring friend who always takes care of Johnsy. Sue
always provided mental health to Johnsy, she sees the positive side out
of it and always convinces that thinking about death is a sin. She is the
symbol of optimism in Johnsy's life.
 Johnsy - suffering from pneumonia for several days. She used to
believe that her life is like last leaf of the vine tree, which is on the
verge to fall.
 Mr. Behrman - an old artist, braves a storm one night to paint a leaf
on the wall, a leaf that will never fall. Cold and wet from painting in
the icy rain, he catches penumonia and dies. This gives Johnsy the
hope to survive her illness.
IV. Abstraction
The teacher will now discuss the literary text through the help of the guide
questions. The students will be tasked to answer these questions in a short bondpaper.
Task 5
a. What is Johnsy's illness?
b. What is the cause of her illness?
c. What do you think made Johnsy consider that her possible death would be
simultaneous with the last leaf to fall? What is the connection with her illness?
d. What helps Johnsy recover from her illness? Do you think it's psychological in
nature? Why?
e. To whom does Johnsy's analogy of death of the vine happen? Is it really
connected to how people endure life and face the most difficult challenge of one's
surpassing death? Explain.
f. How does Mr. Behrman emphasize the connection of Johnsy's faith to be healed
 with the vines ability to hold the leaf?

V. Application
Each group will have to present their work in front the next meeting (Thursday,
January 24, 2019), the students will be graded depending on the criteria in the rubric
used.

VI. Evaluation

real life? How do you manage your problems?"
