something new today.

A. Reviewing Previous Lesson

Before we move to our new lesson, let us review A short story is a relatively brief fictional
first the definition of a short story. narrative in prose.

Correct! A short story is a relatively brief fictional

narrative in prose.
What do we mean we say that it is relatively
brief?
How about when we say that it is fictional?
It is short and it can be finished in one
sitting
It is not real and is just made up by the
imagination of the author.
It tells a certain plot or story.

Sir, it is written in sentences and

How is it written? paragraphs. Not in stanza form.

Let us try to activate your prior knowledge about

the elements of a story. What are these and give
a short description. The setting is the time and place of
action.

That’s right. What else? The characters are the persons in the
story.
Correct. Do you still have something in mind?
The plot is the skeletal framework of
That is true. What else? incidents.

Exactly. And what is the other one? The conflict is the problem to be solved in
the story.
Very good! All your answers are correct. Those
are the features and elements of a short story. The theme is the central idea of the story.

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

In this lesson you are expected to identify the

elements of the given short story and explain
how these elements contribute in identifying the
theme of the story.

You will also be able to determine the purpose/s

of the author in writing the text.

C. Presenting examples/ instances of the

new lesson

“I have here a comics strip and I want you to tell

something about it.

*Picture*
Two people talking.
What do you see in the picture?

(Let the students tell something about the given

picture) (Students will give their interpretation or
description about the picture)
Very Good! You were able to describe the
picture.

This picture has something to tell about the story

we are going to read.

In our story we will find out why our character

travels along rivers and across mountains just to
see God.
Yes, Sir.
“We are now on the third quarter; week 6 and our
lessons are focused on South East Asian
Literature.

Since the Philippines is also a part of South East

Asia, we will not go farther this time, rather we’re
going to study another story from our very own
country.

May I now call volunteer reader- characters who

will give life to the story entitled “In Search of
God”?

The rest of the class will follow through silent

reading and listening.

(The volunteer students read the story while the

rest of the class follow, through silent reading.)

“How was the story so far? “ “It’s a very nice story sir.”
“Did you enjoy it? “
Of course, sir.
Developing a solid understanding of the
elements of a story is essential for you to follow
and fully comprehend the stories you read.
These elements contribute to the overall
meaning and effect of a story to the readers.

This time we are going to extract the different

elements of the story, “In Search of God”.

4. (Roll #3 Describe the plot?)
5. Plot: The plot relates to the events that happen in
a story. Plot can be further divided into sub-
elements such as: introduction, rising action,
climax, falling action, and resolution. It is the
“what” of the story. Plot usually begins with a
problem and ends in the story’s resolution.

An Exposition is the start of the story, the

situation before the action starts.

The story started with the introduction of

climax.
The rising action of the story is when
Juan began to search for answers to God
and embarked on a journey to find
meaning, leading him to various
circumstances that he encountered along
the way.
A Climax is the turning point, the most
intense moment- either mentally or in
action.
The climax of the story is Juan’s
encounter and conversation with God. In
that scene he was able to ask the
question of his friends as well as his
question. He realized that how someone
looks on the outside is not as important if
the heart of the person is good.
The Falling Action is a part of the plot
pattern where the threads are untangled
and the problem is about to be resolved.
The falling action is when Juan returned to
his friends and told them what God said
regarding their concerns. Juan’s friends
were enlightened.
A Resolution is the conclusion, the
untying together of all the threads.
The resolution of the story was when
Juan’s faith was strengthen
A conflict can be thought of as a
challenge or problem that drives the action
of the story. No conflict, no story. Setting
up a series of cause and effect events,
conflict gives these events their why.
The conflict is the ugliness of Juan which
made him decide to search for God.
The Theme is often thought of as the
‘message’ of the story.
The theme of the story is determination
and faith in God.
Yes sir.

short story can you now explain how these

Aside from the elements of the story, another
important feature is the purpose of the writer.
After reading the story, were you able to grasp Juan versus his physical attributes are the

Correct! The intent of the author is strengthening

the Faith of the readers. His purpose is to
entertain and to persuade us not to look from the
physical attributes of a person but on what’s
within that person, and it what matters most.
F. Developing Mastery Collaborative Activity:
Plot is very important to decipher the
message of every story. The smooth flow
of the events in the story lead to the idea
or message that the writer wants to
convey to the readers.

about the Lesson
Giving of the summary
Who can summarize our lesson for today?
I. Evaluating Learning
Do you still remember the story of Makato and
the Cowrie Shell? Last time we read it and you
drew conclusion about the culture of the Thais.
Understanding the elements of the story
make us fully understand the material we
are reading about. The unification of the
plot, characters, setting and conflict help
us determine the theme which gives us
the central idea of what the story has to
say.
Yes, Sir!
