Can someone tell and elaborate what
was your previous lesson? (A student will raise his hand)
Yes, Mr./Ms. ______. (The called student will stand)

The previous lesson was about the two

approaches to characterization and the five
methods of characterization. The two
different approaches to characterization is
Direct and Indirect. Direct characterization
refers to the author’s use of direct and
obvious descriptions to introduce the
character while indirect characterization
refers to the use of clues to give the readers
a chance to imagine and create their
visualization of the character. The five
methods of characterization are also known
 as the PAIRS method that stands for
physical description,action/attitude
/behavior, inner thoughts, reactions and
speech.

The topic for today’s class is
Orpheus. Are you familiar with it? (The students will respond in chorus)
(Some will respond “yes”, some will respond
“no”)
It’s fine whether you’re familiar or
not, we’re still about to discuss it anyway.
However, we are not going through it right
now because we will have an introductory
lesson for you to further understand what the
Orpheus is all about.

Are you ready? (The students will answer in chorus)

Yes, sir!
Let’s begin!

Our introductory lesson is about myth.

Can someone give me their understanding of
the word “myth”? ( A student will raise his hand)

Yes, Mr./Ms. __________, what do

you know about the word “myth”?

Myth is a story of origin of things that include

supernatural characters or phenomena.

can you give me an example? Yes, sir. Greek mythology

Very good! You may now take your

seat. (The student will sit)

How about the others?

(The other students might have the same prior
knowledge about myth)
Okay, so let’s proceed.

What is myth?

(The teacher will ask someone to read

the definition of myth on the visual aid.)

Can someone read the definition of

myth? (A student will raise his hand)

Yes, Mr./Ms. __________

(The student will stand and read the definition
of myth)

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary,

a myth is usually a traditional story of
ostensibly historical events that serves to
unfold part of the world view of a people to
explain a practice, belief, or natural
phenomenon.
Very good Mr./Ms. _______! You
may now be seated. (The student will sit)

(The teacher will elaborate the

definition of myth)

(Then, the teacher will read the

additional information about myth)

 The word “myth” is derived from the

Greek word “mythos” which means
“report, tale, story”.
 It is basically a passed-down story of
origin of people, tradition, things, and
phenomena.

(The teacher will ask the students if

they have questions or clarifications
about myth)

Do you have any questions or

clarifications about myth? (The students will answer in chorus)

None, Sir
So, now that you have an idea about
myth, then what is its difference with
fable?

Let’s now differentiate myth and fable

Fable is a story that features animas as the

characters of the story. These animals possess
humanlike abilities. Fable is meant to imply an
important message or moral lesson.

EXAMPLES:

- Orpheus
- Bakunawa

FABLE

Are these things clear?

Now that things are clear to you, I want

to ask you a question. (The students will answer in chorus)
Yes Sir

To what extent you would use your

strength to save the person you love?
 I want to hear your responses.

Yes, Mr./Ms. ________

(A student will stand)

about the others? to save the person I love.

are. Of course, we will do everything Just like him, I will do everything to save the
for our loved one’s sake, and that’s person I love even if it will cost me my life.
what we call love.

The reason why I asked you this tough

question is because of the story that we
will tackle today, and that is the story
of Orpheus. Now, I want you to get
your textbooks in English and turn it to
page 55. You have to read the story of
Orpheus, and you have to pay attention
to the important information inside the
story because there will be questions to
be given.

You have to read it only with your

eyes. You will be given five minutes to
finish. Are you ready?

Okay. You may now start reading.

(The students will answer in chorus)
Yes Sir

(The students will read the story for five

minutes.)

C. Post Listening (After five minutes)

Now, I want you to answer this

question. What words can be used to
describe Orpheus’ gift?

Yes, Mr./Ms. ________

descriptions. Very good Mr./Ms.
_____, you may now take your seat. The words that can describe Orpheus’ gift
are genuine, excellent, heartwarming,
How about the others? soothing to the ears, and aromatic.

(The student will sit)

(The other members of the class will give

their insights about the gift of Orpheus)

story. But to make to make it more clear to you, there are processing questions on the
