      Good morning…
      Provided here a picture…
      Describe the picture…
      Imagine that he is your mother or your father…
      He/she is now suffering a terrible illness, a sickness that even
the doctors can’t cure. The only way is to wait for a miracle.
      As a son or a daughter, what would you do or what you could
do? How will you react on it?
      Does it hard to know that our parent suffers difficulty?
       
      Another answer???
      Our parents is an essential factor of our whole-being,
everything about a man/women, our background, attitude, all
of our achievements, our honor and dignity , relies on the
structure of our parents that is why it is difficult for us
knowing that our loving parents was ill.
      You may have the same feeling in the characters that we are
discussing today.
      Yesterday I ask you to read the Metric tale “Ibong Adarna”
      By the way, a  metric tale is also known as Korido or Awit
specially during the spanish era.
      How do you find the story? Do you like it?
      Before anything else, let’s first try to unlock some unfamiliar
words from the story.

      Now, let us go back to the topic.
      Did you understand the story?
      The story is all about…?
      The action and danger of the journey of the three siblings
who are the Princes in their place-Don Juan, Don Diego and
Don Pedro. The main story is their voyage to Mount Tabor to
capture the Adarna Bird- the bird that has an extraordinary
healing power to cure all the bad health specially terrible
sickness befell the king of King Fernando of Berbanya due to
a terrible nightmare

Ibong Adarna
(The Adarna Bird)
King Fernando of Berbania had three sons, Pedro, Diego and
Juan of whom the last was the favorite.  He so loved Juan
that when one night he dreamed that his two children
conspired against their youngest brother, the king became so
frightened that he fell sick with a malady, which non of the
physicians of the kingdom were able to cure.  Persons were
not lacking, however, who would advise him that bird
Adarna was the one living being in the world which could
restore to him his lost health and tranquility.  Acting on this
advice, he sent out his  oldest son Pedro to look for this
coveted animal.   After days of wandering through the dense
forests ad extensive thickets, he came to a tree of diamond, at
the foot of which he fell down tired and thirsty.  He never
suspected that it was this tree the very one in which the
famous bird was accustomed to pass the night; and when the
night was setting and the Adarna flung into the air the first
of its seven songs, his melody was so softly sweet that Pedro
was lulled into a profound sleep.  After emitting its seventh
melody for the night, the bird defecated on the sleeping
prince who was thereby converted into a stone.
When Pedro had not returned after the lapse of one year, the
impatient king commanded his second son Diego also to
launch out in search of the same bird.  Diego underwent the
same vicissitudes and hardships and came to exactly the
same fate as Pedro - converted into a stone at the foot of the
enchanted tree.  At last Juan, the youngest and most favored
son was sent forth, after his elder brothers in search of the
treacherous bird.   Juan, however, had the fortune to meet on
his way an old hermit who impressed by the virtuous and
good manners of the young prince on knowing the mission
on which he embarked, put him on guard against the
treacheries, intrigues and cunning of the famous bird.  First,
he provided him with a knife and a fruit of lemon, warning
him that if he wanted to free himself from the irresistible
drowsiness into which one would to be induced by the seven
melodies of the Adarna, he had to open on his body seven
wounds and distil into them the juice of the lemon that the
pain thereby caused might present him from sleeping.  Next,
the hermit warned him to avoid any defecation that might
fall from the bird after it had sung its seven songs, so that he
would not suffer the fate of his brothers.  Lastly, he told him
that after finishing his seventh song the famous bird would
fall sleep and that the prince should take advantage of this
occasion to take him prisoner.  The hermit gave him a golden
 SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN
(PARAPHRASTIC APPROACH)

cord to tie the bird when caught and two pails of water to
pour over his two petrified  brothers and thereby bring them
back to life.  Juan did as was bidden and soon found himself
in possession of the desired bird and on his way back to his
home country with his two brothers, Pedro and Diego.
On the way, however, being envious on account of the fact
that Juan had obtained what they were not able to do so, the
two older brothers conspired between themselves to do away
with him.  Pedro suggested that they should kill him but
Diego who was less brutal convinced Pedro that it was
sufficient to beat him, which they did.  After beating Juan to
whom they owed their lives, they left him unconscious in the
middle of the road and the two brothers continued their way
to the palace where they presented themselves to their
fathers as the ones who actually caught the bird Adarna.  To
their surprise, the bird refused to sing for the king in the
absence of Prince Juan and the monarch  did not get well.  It
was also fortunate that the old hermit who guided Juan to
the Adarna found him stretched out helpless on the road,
after curing him of his wounds the prince could return safe
and sound to his father's kingdom.  It as then the bird, out of
sheer contentment, burst into most harmonious song
recounting it its proper time to the king after he was cured
the truth about the absence of Juan.  The monarch, blinded
by his ire, decreed the death of his two elder sons; but Juan
with a noble heart interceded for them as always and once
again reigned in the kingdom peace and merriment.
      Again, who are the three siblings in the story?
      Let’s start from the eldest, next..
      Let us now differentiate the three...
      How will you characterize the eldest son?
      Middle?
      Younger?
      Who do you think that you some thing in common?
      Anyone?
      What was the only cure for the King’s illness?
      Why was it difficult to get the Adarna Bird?
      What happened to Don Diego and Don Pedro as he searched
for the Adarna Bird?
      What was Don Juan’s reaction to the old man who had asked
for help? How did the old man react to Don Juan’s action?
      Did you already encounter some poor along the way asking
for food?
       What did you do? Did you also do the same as Don Juan did
to the old man?
      Is it okay to give and give to the less privilege?
o   Sometimes, we need also to help them how to catch fish rather
than how to eat give fish. It simply says that we need also to
 SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN
(PARAPHRASTIC APPROACH)

help them to stand in their own.

      Do you find any relationship between Don Juan’s kindness
and his success at capturing the bird?
      What do you think why his elder brother was not able to
capture the bird?
      If you put yourself in the shoe of Don Juan will you still
forgive your sibling despite of the bad deeds you done unto
you?
o   If you do well you will earn good. ………..
o   Remember this class; doing well is easier than doing bad.
o   Living according to our Vincentian Values could help us to do
what is right according to the will of God and also to the
influence of our patron Saint, Saint Vincent de Paul.
o   How will our core values help us to become like Don Juan or
Saint Vincent?
o   Advocacy to the poor-is it also what Don Juan did?
o   Compassionate service- He serves his father with compassion
o   Co-responsibility-being responsible of his action
o   Simplicity-be simple in all means. Be true to yourself.
o   Respect for human dignity- respecting the people lower than
you.
o   Do you understand?
