Good morning class! Good morning teacher!

Let us stand and pray first. Who is the prayer

leader for today? Kindly lead the prayer.
(The students will stand and pray.)
Before you may have your seats, kindly check

Thank you, Ms. Secretary. I’m glad to tell you ma’am that all of us are
2. Motivation present today.
This time, I will ask for two volunteers from
the class. One representative from the boys
and one representative from the girls. The
participating students should follow the
instructions to complete the task. I will be (the students will participate in the task)
giving them colored papers and their task is to
write the characteristics that best describe
their closest friend inside the classroom. The
twist is: they won’t reveal the person they are
describing until someone from their
classmates guessed the person that the
participants are referring to.
How did you feel upon observing your
classmates while they are describing their
closest friends? Yes, Katrina?
I could feel that my classmates are grateful
and proud of their friendship with their closest
friends. I have also observed that they could
vividly recall their memories with them. I
think, friendships like those are hard to find
these days, but they’re blessed to have it. .

Our topic for today is all about friendship,

ma’am.

Very good, Katrina! Accordingly, could

someone please tell me what our topic for
today is? Yes, Lauren?

Exactly! We are about to discuss an excerpt

from book The Little Prince by Antoine de
Saint-Exupery, a book meant for both
children and grown-ups.

3. Lesson Proper Yes, ma’am!

Now that I’ve already given you hints about
our lesson for today, I will then ask you to
read the excerpt lifted from the book “The Yes, ma’am!
Little Prince.” It has captured the hearts of its
readers around the world since it first
appeared in 1943. Written by pilot Antoine de The characters in the excerpt are the Little

to the conversations between the main
characters in the story. It means that we can’t attain happiness by the

Did you enjoy reading the excerpt from the
story of The Little Prince, class?
That’s good to hear, class! This time, can
someone from the class enumerate the
characters in the excerpt? Yes, Tony?
Very good! How about someone who could
tell us how important the “rite” or “ritual” of
taming in the friendship of the Little Prince
and the Fox?
Excellent! Now, I want you to reflect on the
conversation of the Little Prince and the Fox
when it is time for them to part ways. What
do you think is the implication of the Fox’s
secret when he said, “It is only with the heart
that one can see rightly; what is essential is
invisible to the eye.” Yes, Athena?
Exactly! What about your feedback when the
Little Prince talked to the roses and said,
“You are not at all like my rose,” “As yet you
are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you
have tamed no one.” Any idea, Celestine?
Very good! Next, do you think that the Prince
is really responsible for his rose? How will
you prove to us that his rose is unique in all
the world? Defend your answer, Ginny.
Impressive! Do you think you have tamed
another and have been tamed as well? Tell us
your answer, Rhian.
That was inspiring, Rhian. Lastly, with the
convenience that technology brings in making
material things that we own, but by what we
truly feel that makes us more human. The
most
important things in life are those that we can’t
see by our naked eyes and no material thing
can value its worth. In short, it is when people
have the chance to spend time with their
loved ones that they finally found the only
priceless possession in every human life.
Other roses may be beautiful, but they’re
empty. I think that the Little Prince was right.
His rose may not be the only rose in all the
world, but she is his rose. There may be
hundreds of other roses, but his is special.
This is because he has tamed her, and she has
tamed him. The Rose and the Little Prince are
responsible for each other.
I think the Little Prince finally realize that his
Rose is not an ordinary rose. It was his rose. It
was unique in all the world. It is the time that
he has wasted with his rose that makes it so
important and special.
(Answer may vary depending on the
experience of the student.)
(Answer may vary depending on the view of
the student.)
None, ma’am.
Taming means to establish ties, ma’am. It also
means that one only understands the things
that one tames.
It is important for the Fox to be tamed by the
 friends, do you think that being a friend,
befriending others has become superficial?
Yes, Talia?
Little Prince because he believes that the
Little Prince is nothing more than a little boy
who’s just like a hundred thousand other
boys, but if he tamed him, he will be unique
in all the world.

Excellent! Very good, everyone! It seems like

we really had a meaningful discussion about
the story. Otherwise, is there any question or
anything that you wish to clarify?

4. GENERALIZATION
After reading and discussing about the story,
what is “taming” again? Yes, Shamy?

Excellent! Now, how important is it again for

the fox to establish ties?

That’s a great answer!

IV. Evaluation and Assessment

For your task, I will divide you into 3 groups.

Instruction: Describe the Little Prince and the Fox by writing a sentence that would appeal to the
senses. Be sure to use words that will create pictures in the minds of your readers. Use a graphic
organizer to complete your task.

V. Assignment
Create a big greeting card with a message promoting appreciation for our differences. Your
greeting card must focus on how each of us is unique in our own way. The way the Little
Prince treated his rose makes it unique in all the world.
