 Checking of Attendance
 Recall the past lesson

B. Motivation
 Presentation of Objectives
 The teacher will present today's objectives to the class and let them know
what they should expect at the end of the lesson.

After that, teacher will give an activity to create lively classroom atmosphere. In this
activity, the chosen students will be asked to try acting 5 different roles:
1. A very boring lecturer
2. Angry boss excoriates
3. Charismatic leader
 4. Mr. Bean
5. A sad girl/boy

They stay in each role for at least 40 seconds to work out not only the skill of entering
into the character, but also the ability to stay in it for a long time. Once they have played
all 5 characters, the remaining students who has been observing them all this time,
evaluates them (from 1 to 10) and gives them feedbacks.

C. Abstraction
The teacher will ask, “what do we call an activity that involves a showcase of intense and
emotional feelings through the medium of actors and acting?”
“Drama!” - student
“Very good!”
Teacher reveals the topic to the students.
The teacher will discuss the elements of drama using PowerPoint Presentation.

Elements of Drama
Drama is a composition in prose form that presents a story entirely told in dialogue and
action and written with the intention of its eventual performance before an audience.
Elements
 Setting identifies the time and place in which the events occur. It consists of
the historical period, the moment, day and season in which the incidents take
place. It also includes the sceneries in the performance.
 Characters are the people in the play and thus considered as the principal
material in a drama.
 Plot lays out the series of events that form the entirety of the play. It serves
as a structural framework which brings the events to a cohesive form and
sense.
 Theme is considered as the unifying element that defines the dramatized
idea of the play. It is overall sense or implication of the action.
 Style refers to the mode of expression or presentation of the play which
points out the playwright’s position or viewpoint in life.
The teacher will also discuss the Principles of Speech Delivery enables the students to do
better their performance task later on.

Principles of Speech Delivery

First Principle: Articulation
 Articulateness in pronouncing the words and speaking with clear diction that
effectively transmits the Message of the Speaker. It is highly important to
know the correct way of saying a word, whether they are familiar or
unfamiliar. Proper breathing techniques together with the correct molding of
sounds that make up words contribute to efficient articulation.
 Second Principle: Modulation
 People like to listen to voices that are well-modulated, meaning the capability
to adjust or manipulate the resonance and timbre of the vocal tone. A
microphone requires even more modulation as the amplifiers will resonate
voices further. But with or without a microphone, voices should not bombard
our eardrums. If the Speaker’s voice is modulated, Listeners will pay attention.
Third Principle: Stage Presence
 The ability to “own” the stage, of the Speaker being able to fill the space and
project his/ her personality to the Audience—that is stage presence. The
Speaker become an interesting, enthusiastic speaker capable of being heard
and able to move about on stage.
Fourth Principle: Facial Expressions, Gestures, and Movement
 The Message of any speech is reinforced, clarified, and complemented by
Nonverbal Communication such as facial expressions, gestures, and
movement. Without these nonverbal elements, the Speaker may be judged as
boring, with flat delivery and an unemotional voice. Facial expressions should
change with the content of the Speech. Gestures should emphasize only certain
points. Movement should allow the Speaker to carry the Speech around,
forward, and to the Audience, metaphorically speaking.
Fifth Principle: Audience Rapport
 It was pointed out previously that the most important aid in establishing a
connection with the Listeners is an Audience Analysis. Using this data, one is
able to write a Speech that would appeal to the Audience.

D. Application
Now that the students have an idea about what is drama and what elements that could
make up a good drama, the teacher will give them an activity.

Performance Task: Drama Film

The teacher will give students the situations that they will make into a script and
reenact it. They will make a short film using any applications like adobe premiere
rush, filmora, kinemaster, capcut, etc.

Direction: The class will be divided into 3 groups. Write your own script based on
the situation given to you incorporating the different elements of drama and also
apply the principles of speech delivery that we have discussed. You will make a short
film using any video editing applications. The drama must only last for 5 minutes.

Each group will be given time to plan and make a script for their drama film. This is
not an easy task so the teacher will give them enough time. Their outputs will be
played next meeting during their class.
