1. Preliminary task Hit the Hints

Wonderful! Now, I’ll give you worksheets for today’s activities. Please focus on Worksheet A.
I’ll show three groups of images of characters from certain stories. Write all the strengths or
powers you know they possess in their respective columns on Worksheet A. Understood?

Teacher flashes pictures of characters from Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and The Hobbit and
The Lord of the Rings.

Okay, now, I want everyone to put on the fourth column all traits, strengths, or powers that
is common to all characters in all three groups. Then, answer the three guide questions
below. I’ll give you five minutes.

Time is up. Let’s see what you’ve got.

, can you share to class the name of your favorite character? And why?

Wonderful! And just a follow-up question. Do you have what it takes to be like him? And
why do you say so?

Excellent! And how about you, ? Who among the characters do you like most?

And do you have what it takes to be just like her?

Very well said! I believe so, too. Now, Based on their characteristics and intentions, what
name could be associated with them?

2. Middle Task Say That Again

Very good! All of them can be called heroes because of their strengths and traits. And
speaking of a hero, our next activity would revolve on the song, “Hero” by Mariah Carey. Is
everyone familiar with the song?

Yes, Sir.
Prof. Albus Dumbledore because he is wise and intelligent and he helped Harry to become
a skilled wizard.

Of course. If I study harder than I am studying right now, I know that I will be learning a
lot of things. Thus, making me smarter and wiser.

Katniss Everdeen. Because she is a strong- willed girl who stands up to what she believes
in life.

Oh, yes. As a matter of fact, I consider myself to be her—strong-willed and a girl with strong
principles.

Hero.

Yes/No.
Okay. This is what we’ll do. We’ll listen to the song twice. By that time, you should get two to
four lines from the song and write it on the column provided on page 31. And write in your
own words the meaning of those lines for you? Understood?

Very good. Okay, let us begin.

Teacher plays the audio-recording.

I’ll give you three minutes to finish your work.

Time’s up. , can you read the lines you got from the song?

Nice lyric selection. And what does that mean to you?

Excellent interpretation! How about you,

? Can you share to us the lines you chose?

Great. And those lines, for you, would mean that?

Nice choice of words. Now, what we just did is called paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is the
expressing of the same message with different words. Or, can everyone read the paragraph
on paraphrasing on page 31?

Yes. It is important to paraphrase for us to avoid plagiarizing other people’s work.

That is why, when we do our assignments and we search in the internet, we should not do
the copy-paste method because that is against the law. What, instead, should we do?
 Attach Those Words

Great. I trust you’ll do that next time you research for something, okay? Now, I will share
something new to all of you. Can everybody please read the following sentences?
Yes, Sir.

Students listen to the audio-recording twice.

Here’s a hero if you look inside your heart. You don’t have to be afraid of what you are.

It means that if we look closely on ourselves, we will realize that there is really nothing to be
afraid of and we should even be proud of ourselves.

It’s a long road if you face the world alone. No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.

Life would be very hard for you if you live by yourself. One should try to be more open for
people to reach out to him.

Rewriting lines from songs, poems, stories, and other articles is one way of paraphrasing.
Paraphrasing is often defined as putting into your own words texts that are originally from
the author. It will make us own our ideas as inspired by other
people’s work and will keep us from plagiarizing others’ works.

We paraphrase.

My father, the captain of the ship, crosses the swan road every time they went to America.
Its benches rattled, fell to the floor, gold- covered boards grating as Grendel and Beowulf
battled across them.

kenning?

Very good. You see, a kenning is a

metaphorical term. It is a type of figure of
speech. And you don’t give meaning to
them literally but figuratively.

In this case, the swan road here, could refer The sea.
