understand the story.

students)

So, in the video how may pots are

there?
Yes, Jin?
There are 2 pots.
Very good!

How were the two pots different

from each other?
Yes, Ires?
One of the pots had a crack in it, and
while the other pot was perfect and
always delivered a full portion of water at
the end of the long walk from the stream
to the master's house, the cracked pot
arrived only half full.
What is the characteristic of the
perfect pot?
Yes, Junel?
The perfect pot is boastful, he thinks that
 he is superior and more useful than the
cracked pot since he always arrived to the
master’s house full of water.
Exactly! It became boastful
because of it’s accomplishment.

How does the cracked pot felt?

The cracked pot felt ashamed, because it
had leaked out half its load, and so again
it apologized to the bearer for its failure.
Yes, the cracked pot felt ashamed
because it thinks that he doesn’t
serve his purpose which is to
deliver a full water to the master’s
house.

What did the water bearer do, so

that the leaking water of the
cracked pot will have its purpose?
Yes, Rom?
The water bearer planted flowers so that
the cracked pot will be watering the
flowers in their way home. And those
flowers are used in his prayers to offer
God.

Very good! So what is the moral

of the story “The Cracked Pot”?
Yes, James?
The lesson that I learned in the story is
we should not belittle anyone by making
fun of their weaknesses.
Do yo understand the story class?

of how much water he carries.”

Correct!

Next, “I am ashamed of myself”

more helpful to him than you are.
I am superior to you.”

a better one. I am not able to carry
all the water. I am a burden to
you”

F. Generalization
So, what  can we get from this
story?
We need to change our own unique flaws
or other’s flaws into the interesting and
warding advantage, as well as we have to
look for the good inside us
Are we all cracked pots?
Yes we are, but some people’s cracks are
more visible than others but we all have
them and all of our cracks can produce
 something good, even great! Whether it is
pretty flowers along our path or internal
strength and self-confidence.
What should we do with our
flaws?
We should embrace our flaws.

Exactly!
We are not perfect, we have our
flaws. All we have to do is to
embrace it. Appreciate our
individuality. Our flaws may
make us different from everybody
else.
