“We will be having a mini debate today

about the Philippines’ national dish! Do
you guys like eating Sinigang?” “Yes, Ma’am!”
“How about Adobo?”
“Great! Now these two dishes are the “Yes, Ma’am!”

most popular Filipino dish, and many are
arguing what should be considered as the

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
national dish between the two. Right

now, each group will pick a paper here
where “adobo” or “sinigang” is written. “Yes, Ma’am!!”
Once you already picked your dish,
you’re going to defend that dish on why
should it be considered as our national
dish? Do you understand class?”
“Okay! Now that you’ve already picked

your assigned dish, let’s start with the
Adobo group! Adobo group, why do you “Ma’am, for us, Adobo should be the
think Adobo should be our national dish?” national dish because it’s more delicious
than sinigang. It’s salty and sour at the
same time that’s why it complements our
“Oh really? How about you Sinigang taste buds!”
group? What can you say?”
“Ma’am we don’t agree with them! Of
course SInigang should be our national
dish! It’s sour and savory taste helps us
“Okay. Adobo Group, how will you defend fight the cold during rainy season!”
your side?”
“Ma’am, many people don’t like to eat
Sinigang because it’s very sour especially
foreigners who come to the Philippines! A
national dish should be something that
“Thank you. Now Sinigang group, are you tourists can also appreciate!”
okay with what they said?”
“No, Ma’am! We would like them to know
that Adobo is not an original Filipino dish.
It came from the Spanish unlike Sinigang
which came from the Tagalog region here

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
in the Philippines! It should be the

national dish because it represents the
“Okay, okay. I think that’s enough! I would Filipino culture more!”
like you class to give yourselves a round
of applause because you all did great!
Both groups are the winner for today!”
“Now, we had this activity because it has

something to do with our lesson today,
specifically it has something to do with
Sinigang.”
During
“Today class, we will be starting our

lesson about the short of Marby
Villaceran titled ‘Sinigang’. Now when you “I feel hungry, Ma’am!” “It feels like I can
hear the word Sinigang, what comes to smell its sour flavor.”
your mind?”
“Right? I feel that way too! The delicious

flavor of Sinigang is really remarkable! Do “Yes, Ma’am”
you agree class?”
“Alright, and because of that, today, we

will be discussing about the short story
which is titled “Sinigang”. It’s written by
Marby Villaceran.”

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
“Now before we proceed to the main

story, let us first get to know the
characters in the story.”
“Student 6, can you please enumerate

the characters by reading what’s written
on the board?” “Ma’am the characters are Liza, Tita
Loleng, Liza’s father and mother, Sylvia
“Thank you! Now remember that food is and Lem.”
part of someone’s culture. So by reading
this short story, we will know how
Sinigang, a food from the Philippines, is
connected in the plot of the story.”
“So class, I have here an animation video

of the short story that is about 5 minutes
long. You will watch this and after this we “Yes, Ma’am”
will have a short discussion. Okay class?”
“Okay, that’s it for the video. Did you guys

the story? Were you able to understand
the plot of the story through this video?” “Yes, Ma’am!”
“Good! Now I have some questions, all

throughout the story, what amazed you
the most? Yes Student 7?” “I was amazed how the author created
the connection between the process of
cooking Sinigang and Liza’s memories
“That’s a good point! In the story, the especially with her during her half-

connect Sinigang to narrate the flow of

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
the story.”
After
Daily Assessment
“Now in order to test your

comprehension, you will have an
assessment. Get a one whole piece of
paper and you will answer what’s written
on the board.”
“It’s simple, you just have to arrange

chronologically the sequence of events
that happened in the story. After
arranging, you will write these events in a “Yes, Ma’am!”
paragraph form. This is a total of 20
items. 10 for the first part then another 10
for the second. You will do this in 10
minutes. Is that clear?”
“The events that you’re going to arrange

are:
1. Liza picked out the tomatoes
they’re going to use for the
Sinigang.
2. Liza recollected her first encounter
with Sylvia in the living room
where Lem’s coffin is.

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
3. Sylvia recognized Liza and begged

for forgiveness.
4. Liza washed the tomatoes in
running water.
5. Liza chopped the tomatoes using
the wooden chopping board.
6. Liza’s Dad came and talked to her,
thanking her for coming.
7. Liza crushed the onions, tomatoes,
and salt together with her hand.
8. Liza prepared the vegetables, she
picked the good parts in kangkong.
9. During Lem’s burial, her father
cried so hard.
10. Her father apologized to her.”
(After 10 minutes)
“Okay, time’s up! It looks like everyone’s

finished so let’s check. Check your own
papers.”
“Class, I don’t know if you noticed but the

events are already in chronological order,
so it’s very easy. As for the paragraph, if
you arranged the events correctly then
you will get a perfect score. If you got a
wrong answer on the first part, that’s the
same with the second part.”
“Oh it seems like majority of you got
perfect score! That’s great! Now we finish

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
here, and tomorrow, we’ll delve deeper

on the story. Is that okay, Class?” “Yes. Ma’am!”
“Okay, goodbye class!”

“Goodbye and thank you, ma’am!”
Day 2
Before
B. Unlocking of difficulties
“Okay class, so before we start, let me

test your knowledge first about our
previous topic.”
“The title of the short story we discussed

yesterday is? Yes, Student 1”
“Correct! Now who’s the main character “It’s Sinigang, Ma’am, by Marby
of the story? Student 2, can you please Villaceran.”
answer?”
“Good. Who’s preparing the Sinigang with ‘The main character is Liza Ma’am.”
Lliza? Yes, student 3?”
“Okay. What was the story about? Yes, “It’s her aunt, Tita Loleng.”
student 4, can you give us the plot
summary?”
“Ma’am, the story is about the preparation
of Sinigang and the recollection of Liza’s

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
memories with her encounter with her

“Thank you so much, student 4!” father’s other family. It talks about the
connection of the process of cooking
C. Motivational activity Sinigang to the memories of Liza”
“Yesterday we had a debate on which

dish should be our national dish, Sinigang
or Adobo. Today, we’re going to have an
activity which is focused more on “Yes, Ma’am!”
Sinigang. As we all know, Sinigang is
famous for its sour taste. So we will play
a little game. I have a here a bunch of
kamias, which is one of the main
ingredient of Sinigang in some areas. All
you have to do is to eat a kamias and try
not to make a sour face, try to stay calm.
The winner who manages to stay in his or
her poker face will win. Are you ready
class?”
“Great! So I will be needing five students,

and that will be Students 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Please go here in front and get one
kamias each.”
“Okay. Ready? GO!”
“Go class! You have to stay calm and

finish all of your kamias to be considered
as the winner! You can do it!”

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
“Okay! Stop! Student 4 wins! She

managed to finish her kamias first without
making a sour face! Incredible!”
You can now go back to your seats, thank

you! Did you have fun class?”
“That’s good to hear!”

“Yes, Ma’am! Very!”
During
“So today, we will be talking about the

theme present in Marby Villaceran’s
Sinigang. First we will be talking about
infidelity.”

“Ma’am, in the story it was revealed that

Liza’s father had an illegitimate son with

was preparing the ingredients for the went to her half-brother’s wake.”
Sinigang they’re cooking. She
remembered each moment because it
somehow resembles the process of
cooking Sinigang.”
“Now, question, what would you feel if

you were in Liza’s shoes? What do you

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
think about infidelity? Yes, student 10?”

“For me, Ma’am, I think Iwould feel the
same way. I will also be hurt because I
“Thank you. Now, moving on, in this short am very against infidelity especially since

What do you think are those elements?
Yes, Student 11?” “The Sinigang itself, Ma’am, food is part
of culture and Sinigang is an original
Filipino food.”
“Correct. How about you, Student 12?”
“Culture includes the traits and customs

of a certain community, Ma’am, so I think
it showed the trait of Filipinos of being

circumstances.”
“With that, this short story is very

important. It’s a must for everyone to read
since it does not only tells a story of
infidelity but it also highlights the Filipino
culture.”
After
“Now as part your assessment, you will

be doing a group activity. You’re going to
come up with a 3-minute play that’s about

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
the process of cooking Sinigang. Now

you are all aware that not every
household cooks Sinigang in the same
way, some use sampalok, kamias or
powdered mix right? What you’re going to
do is you have to come up with a story
that is connected in how you cook
Sinigang. Just like in the short story we
discussed, as you cook Sinigang, there “Yes, Ma’am!”
must be a story that is connected to a
step in the cooking process. Now go to
your assigned groups and discuss your
plan. You will be performing it tomorrow.
You can use any props and costumes.
Your performance will be grade base on
the following criteria:
 Connection of the story to
Sinigang - 50%
 Delivery – 25%

For a total of 100%. Is it clear class?”

Day 3
Before

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
B. Unlocking of Difficulties
“So class, I have here a set of jumbled of
words. I will say the definition of that word
and you will answer what’s the word that
is being defined. Understood?” “Yes, Ma’am!”
“It is the action or state of being

unfaithful. The letters are F I D E Y L T I N
I. What’s the word? Yes Student 1?” “Infidelity, Ma’am.”
“Correct. Okay, next. It is something that

is not authorized by a law also refers to a
child born out of wedlock. The letters are
G I M A E L L I A T E T I. What’s the
word? Yes, Student 2?” “It’s Illegitimate Ma’am!”

social institutions, and achievements of a
particular nation, people, or other social “Culture, Ma’am.”
group. The letters are U R T C U L E.
What’s the answer? Student 3?”
“That’s right. Thank you.”
C. Motivational Activity
“Before we proceed with your
performance, Let’s play a little game first
to relax your minds. It’s just a tongue
twister, you will do it altogether, Okay?” “Sure, Ma’am!”

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
“Here it goes: Stew, skew, stew, skew”
“You’re just going to repeat it faster and

faster. The one cannot do it will have to
spell the word Sinigang using his or her
butt. Do you understand? Ready… GO!” “Stew, skew, stew, skew, Stew, skew,
stew, skew, Stew, skew, stew, skew, stew,
“Ooops. Student 4 got it wrong! Go here stew, skyu.”
in front and spell Sinigang with your butt.
Okay… S… I… N… I… G... A… N… G…
Yey! Thank you so much for doing that.”
During
“Okay, class. Just like what we’ve been

discussing for the past two days, Marby
Villaceran’s short story “sinigang”
highlights the Filipino culture in a creative
way by telling the story through the
process of cooking Sinigang.”
“Through this short story, you were able

to take a deeper understanding on the
Philippine culture. Now, what can you say
about literary texts that incorporate the “Ma’am I think through literature, the
culture of a community? What are your culture of different countries are enriched
views?” more because it somehow spreads
information about that culture.”
“That’s great to hear! I hope that through
this short story and other Philippine
literary texts, you were able to recognize

lOMoARcPSD|10635301
the importance of literature in preserving

culture. Do you understand class?” “Yes, Ma’am!”
After
“Now, let’s proceed with your

performance which is part of your
assessment for our lesson. Remember
that you will be graded base on the
following criteria:
 Connection of the story to
Sinigang - 50%
 Delivery – 25%
 Creativity – 25%
“Are you now ready class? Let’s start with
the first group, then after that the next
groups will follow.” (Students perform their play)
“Great job, class! Give yourself a round of

applause because you all did an amazing
performance! You all managed to show
the connection of your story to the steps
you do when you’re cooking Sinigang.
You all delivered it well and in a creative
way! That’s it for today! Thank you, class!
Goodbye!”
“Goodbye and thank you, Ma’am!”
