topic for today.

5. Checking of Do we have any assignment?

assignment

Yes, Ma’am.
Okay, you may now pass it.

(the students pass their

assignments)

A. Reviewing Now, let us have a short review about our

the previous topic last time. We will do an activity
lesson or entitled “Body Letter”. I will divide you into
presenting the 5 groups, please count from 1-5.
new lesson (student counts from 1-5)

Now, go to your groupmates. Pick a

representative for each group to come in
front. (the students pick representative
to come in front)

I will be showing a specific word for the

representatives and they have to use their
bodies to spell the letters. Each group
have to discuss what the letters stand for
and the first group who will guess the right
word will need to say something about it.
Am I clear?
Yes, Ma’am.
Okay, let’s start, representatives please
come in front.
(representatives come in front)
Are you ready, class?
 Yes, Ma’am!
Alright, the first word is..

FICTION

Representatives you may start now! (representatives starts moving

their bodies)

Start to guess the word, class.

That’s fiction. Ma’am!

Correct, group 5. From one of your

members, say something about fiction.
Yes, Yesha?
Fiction is a literature in the form
of prose, especially short stories
and novels, that describes
imaginary events and people.

Very good! Fiction refers to literature

created from the imagination. Okay, the
next word is..

CHARACTERS (representatives starts moving

their bodies)

It’s characters, Ma’am!

You got it right, group 1! Now, can

someone from your group say something
about plot? Yes, Axel? A character is a person, animal,
being, creature, or thing in a
story.
Great! Characters are an essential part to
fiction. They make the story possible, and,
the way in which the characters are built,
can help to bring the story to life. Alright,
let’s proceed, the next word is..

(representatives starts moving

PLOT their bodies)

Plot! That’s plot, Ma’am!

Spectacular, group 3! That is indeed plot.
Now, say something about it, yes, Missy?

Plot is simply a series of events

that makes up the narrative
action of a story.

Excellent, Missy. Plot as an element of

fiction generally revolves around rising
action, followed by a turning point,
followed by falling action and a
denouement at the end of the story.
And for the next word, we have here.

(representatives starts moving

SETTING their bodies)

It’s setting, Ma’am!

Wow, very good, group 2! Okay, from your

group who wants to share his/her thoughts
about setting? Okay, let’s have Joey.

Setting is one of the primary

story elements found in fiction.
Setting dictates the location and
time period of a story.

Awesome! Setting is the place and time of

story. Now, let’s have the next word.

(representatives starts moving

POINT OF VIEW their bodies)

That’s point of view, Ma’am!

Brilliant, group 4! Now, who can share

his/her idea about point of view from your
group? Yes, Jenny?

The point of view, or POV, in a

fiction is the narrator’s position in
the description of events.

Outstanding! We have four types of point

of view, we have First person point of
view. First person is when “I” am telling the
story.  Second person point of view. The
story is told to “you.” Third person point of
view, limited. The story is about “he” or
“she.” And Third person point of view,
omniscient. The story is still about “he” or
“she,” but the narrator has full access to
the thoughts and experiences
of all characters in the story.
Okay, the next word is..

(representatives starts moving

THEME their bodies)

Theme, it’s theme, Ma’am!

I think the group 3 got it first, amazing!

Can somebody from your group share
his/her thought about theme? Yes,
Dominic?

Theme is a larger message or

motif that an author explores to
make a larger point about
everyday life or the world
around us. 
That’s fantastic, Dominic. The theme of a
story is what the author is trying to convey
— in other words, the central idea of the
story. Okay, for the last word, we have..

STYLE
(representatives starts moving
their bodies)

It’s style, Ma’am!

That’s right, group 4! Okay, let’s hear

some thoughts about style from your
group. Okay, Lina?

Style in creative writing starts

with word choice. When we talk
about fiction stories, we talk
about the diction (or choice of
words) that an author chooses
to employ and the structure of
Marvelous! Style refers to the writer's their work.
choice of diction, sentence structure,
literary techniques, and use of rhythm.
Okay, class you did a great job! Now, go
back to your proper seats.
(the students go back to their
seats)
Again, what we discussed last meeting?
Yes, Jisoo?

Last meeting, we have

discussed about fiction and its
 elements which are, characters,
plot, setting, point of view,
Very good, Jisoo! Alright, it seems like all theme and style.
of you have understood our previous
discussion. Now, we will move on to our
next lesson.

B. Establishing
a purpose for Let's start this lesson with a game of
the lesson naming iconic films that have had an
(motivation) impact on people's lives. This is the
activity you called "Great Movies to
Name."
I'll read popular lines from the lead
characters of these films and be ready to
name them all. Give the titles of the films
that are being seen. These films' photos
are also included here at my PowerPoint
presentation to help you in finding them.
Please raise your hand if you want to
answer. Were my instructions clear? Yes, Ma’am!

Alright, let’s start! First movie.

Yes, Mia? That’s Titanic, Ma’am!

Very good! Next, we have.

Okay, yes, Lia? Are you raising your

hand? Yes, Ma’am. That’s Twilight,
Ma’am.

Correct! It is indeed, Twilight. Next


Yes, Yeji?
Wow! That’s correct. Now, let’s have the
next.
Oh, yes, Danica?
You got it right, Danica! Next picture.
Okay, Rhania?
Correct! Now, class are you all familiar
with these following movies?
Okay. What is your overall impression
about the movies that I have showed you?
Yes, Lisa?
Wonderful! Thank you for that, Lisa. Now,
class, how do you define love? Yes,
Leslie?
Very good! Have you been in love? What
It’s one of the great movies of
John Llyod Cruz, Ma’am. It’s One
More Chance.
I think that’s Romeo and Juliet,
Ma’am.
It’s Starting Over Again, Ma’am.
Yes, Ma’am
No, Ma’am
The movies mentioned above,
Ma'am, are about love. The most
of the films have happier
endings, with the exception of
Romeo and Juliet, which has a
sad ending.
Love is an extreme feeling of
attachment, affection, and need.
 did you feel when you are in love? Yes,
Carmila?
(student’s answer vary)

Alright! Now, how do these movies reflect
realities in life?
They represent life's realities,
such as survival, love, and
heroism. Their love stories
encourage others to seek out and
fight for true love.

Excellent! Thank you, John.

The reason I read the lines and showed
you the photos of those popular
movies and asked you questions is that it
relates to our next lesson for today. So,
are you ready to learn something new? Yes, Ma’am!

But before that, here are the objectives

that you should be able to achieve at the
end of the lesson.
 Explain how the elements specific
to a genre contribute to the theme
of a particular literary selection
 Appreciate the significant human
values implied in the story
 Create ten sentence meaningful
paragraph which explains this quote
“True love is selfless. It is prepared
to sacrifice. – Sadhu Vaswani

C. Presenting Class, we have another exciting activity to

Examples/ do. The title of the activity that we are
instances of about to is “Watch and Learn”. I will let you
new lesson watch the trailer drama movie “My
Amnesia Girl”. Are you ready?
Yes, Ma’am!

Good! So, here it is. Enjoy watching!

(The students watch the movie

trailer of My Amnesia Girl.)
 That’s it! Now, class who among you here
is familiar with the movie? Yes, Rose?

It is a love story wherein Irene

pretends to have amnesia after
she had a break up with her
Very good! As a result, Apollo tries to undo boyfriend Apollo.
his past mistake with Irene by providing
her with the happiest memories she could
ever have.
We know that Irene is only pretending to
have an amnesia in order to hide the pain
that Apollo causes her. Will you, class, do
the same Why or why not? Yes, Nina?

No, Ma’am, there is another way

to prove or express that we are
Awesome! What happens if the amnesia is frustrated and in unbearable pain
real? You're in the shoes of the character as a result of his shortcomings,
Apollo this time. Can you really want to lies, or whatever excuse
undo the mistakes you've made in the
past? Why do you think it is? Yes, Robin?

That's great! True love, it is said, is For sure, I will do even better the
impossible to deny. When you really love things he had done in the movie.
someone, you will do everything just to win
him back. I'm sure you've always seen,
read, and heard a variety of love stories.
But today I’m sure this will still give you a
romantic excitement.

I know you are all curious why I let you

watch the trailer of the drama movie “My
Amnesia Girls” and ask questions about it.
The reason is because it is what are we
about to discuss today. Through drama,
we learn to make better decisions, we can
develop a better moral compass, we can
learn ideas to be more romantic, gain
knowledge, broaden our horizons, and
reflect on life lessons.
D. Discussing Today, we are to discuss one of the
new concepts prominent dramas in India entitled,
and practicing “Shakuntala by Kalidasa (Act IV-
new skills #1 Excerpts)”. By the way, class. What is
drama? Yes, Shanne?
 In literature, a drama is the
portrayal of fictional or non-
fictional events through the
performance of written dialog
(either prose or poetry).

Very good! Dramas can be performed on

stage, on film, or the radio. Dramas are
typically called plays, and their creators
are known as “playwrights” or
“dramatists.” 

Now, it’s time to give way to our new

lesson. Let me introduce to you first the
author of the Indian drama “Shakuntala
(Act IV- Excerpts”, Kalidasa.

Class, I will divide you again into 8 groups,

please count from 1-8.

(students count from 1-8)

Go to your groupmates. Group 1 is here, 2
is there, and 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. For group 1, I
want you to read the character of
Sharngarava, group 2 is the Invisible
being, group 3 is Gautami, group 4 is
Shakuntala, Group 6 Priyamvada, group 7
Kanva, group 8, The two friends, and for
the group 8, Anusaya.I want you to read (the students go to their groups)
the lines loud and clear. Am I clear?

Guide questions: Yes, Ma’am.

1. What is the story all about?

2. Who are the characters in the

 6. What are the themes of the play?
7. What are the values that you have
learned from the story?
8. What is the hardest decision that
you made in your life? What did you
do to manage your decision?

Okay, you may now start reading.

(The students do as what is told)

Now, with your group I have here
questions assigned to your group. For
question 1 is group 1 and so on and so
forth. I will give you 10 minutes to finish it
and I will choose one from your group to
answer the question. Are my instructions
clear?

Okay, you may now start.

1. What is the story all about?

2. Who are the characters in the
story? Describe their roles.
3. Describe Shakuntala as a daughter,
as a sister and as a friend.
4. Describe Kanva as a father.

the story all about?

Very good, for the second question. Let’s

have Robin from group 2. Who are the
characters in the story? Describe their
roles.
Correct! Question number 3 is for you,
Regine of group 3. Describe Shakuntala
as a daughter, as a sister and as a friend.

That’s brilliant, Regine. Let’s hear from

you Mary of group 4. Describe Kanva as a Yes, Ma’am.
father.

Excellent! Okay for the group 5, let’s have

Anne. What symbol that is used in the
story?

Very good! Group 6. Dominic, I want you

to answer your assigned question. What
are the themes of the story?

You got it right, Dominc. Group 7, let’s

have Jennifer. What are the values that
you have learned from the story?

That’s a very good point, Jennifer. Now for
the most awaiting question, can I have
Sailene to talk? What is the hardest
decision that you made in your life? What
did you do to manage your decision?
That was a great answer, Sailene.
Decisions must be implementable,
whether on a personal or organizational
level. As a result, you must be personally
loyal to the decision and be willing to
convince others of its merits. Trust your
gut and make decisions based on what
your heart is telling you. Your heart will
never fail you. Always remember that,
class.
The story is about a young
woman raised in forest
hermitage. Like others of
Kalidasa’s heroines, however,
the young woman is not merely a
hermit. Her Forest life is
temporary, and she comes into
her real identity an identity of
which she is mostly unaware
when she begins through with
her interaction with a king.
Shakuntala: a young hermit of
divine parentage.
Anusaya: a young woman who
is Shakuntala’s hermitage friend.
Primyamvada: a young woman
who is Shakutala’s hermitage
friend.
Kanva: Shakuntala’s adoptive
father in the forest hermitage.
Gautami: presiding fenale hermit
in the hermitage.
Sharngarava: a male hermit.
Shakuntala was a beautiful
maiden who was the adopted
daughter of sage Kanva. She is a
loving, caring and kind to her
friends and sister.
Kanva was a great sage. He is
best known as the sage who
adopted Shakuntala. He is also
kind and responsible.
It’s ring, Ma’am It symbolizes the
love of Shakuntala and King
Dushanta.
 Love, decision making, and trust,
Ma’am.

I have learned that When

Shakuntala lost her ring and King
Dusyanta forgot her because of
the sage curse, she never
surrendered in finding her ring.
So, like us, we should never
surrender and never give up in
everything even how hard or
difficult it may be. But, before
getting what we want, we must
give our best, we must sacrifice
first and never surrender and
never lose hope.

The theme really helps me to
know why the author wrote the
story and the message he wants
to share with us.
That’s a good point too, Shanne. Do
elements contribute to your understanding
of the selection’s overall theme? Yes, joy?
Yes, Ma’am. The elements
contribute to my understanding of
the selection’s overall theme
because it provides the important
details of the story.
