A. Engage

To start the class, the teacher will prepare a question to be ask to her

will pick from the ball of names three times; the lucky students will share
their ideas about the question that the teacher prepared for them.

about the characters, what is the story all about, where it happened.
C. Explain

The teacher now will explain what is the lesson all about. During the
discussion, she will raise questions to help students understand the
elements of a short story deeper.

Elements of a Short Story

A. Characters

The first element of a story are the characters. The Characters are the
people (or sometimes animals) who are featured in a story. The two
main characters in a story that you need to know about are: The
Protagonist and Antagonist.

Guide Question: Who among you watch the Cinderella movie? I

assume all of us. Can somebody please identify who is the Protagonist
and the Antagonist in the story?

B. Setting

The next element is the story setting. All stories have a setting. The
setting includes the time and place in which the story will be taking
place.

Guide Question: Going back to the Cinderella movie, where do you

think the setting is?

C. Conflict

The conflict in a story is the main challenge to overcome. It compels

the plot forward and is usually resolved during the plot’s climax.

D. Theme

The theme is the author’s central argument or big idea they want to
convey. Themes are often associated with a ‘moral story’ or an
analogy (a hidden meaning in the text).

E. Point of View

The point of view of a story has a big impact on how the story will be
told. Point of view also influences how the audience will respond to it.
F. Tone
 Authors choose a tone to act as the backdrop to a story. The tone
often overlaps with the protagonist mood or circumstance.

G. Style

Writing style is one of the most important elements of a story, but very
personal to each author.

H. Plot

The plot is the sequence of events that tell the story. Sometimes we
call it the ‘narrative structure’.

Exposition: The exposition begins the story. It provides the necessary

background information like the setting and character details.
Rising Action: The rising

Web

Web sources include anything you can find on the Internet, which contains
a wealth of high-quality information if you know where to look. Some web
sources are databases of scholarly articles. Scholarly articles are
published in scholarly journals and are sometimes called peer-reviewed
articles. Scholarly journals specialize in publishing technical and research-
oriented articles and are mostly intended for students and other scholars.
They are often reviewed by peers in the field in order to ensure that the
article is relevant and accurate.

A. Currency: the timeliness of the information

B. Relevance: the importance of the information for your needs
C. Authority: the source of the information
D. Accuracy: the reliability, truthfulness, and correctness of the content
E. Purpose: the reason the information exists

D. Elaborate

Now, the teacher tries to practice the new existing knowledge of the
students in the lesson presented. The teacher prepared some information
about covid 19 from WHO and the students will be going to apply what
they have learned about the lesson through analyzing the given picture
whether it’s an example of print or web sources, the students also give the
observation about the information given. They will also think what
characteristics of print or web sources the information given. The teacher
 will give them 10 minutes to construct their idea about what they have
observe.

E. Evaluation

After the practice activity, the teacher will send a link to the google
classroom chat box and the students will be ask whether the information is
true or a fake news and why do they say so? After that, the teacher will
ask two to three students to share the lesson they have learned
throughout the discussion. Now, the teacher will post an assignment to
their group chat and they will be given one day to finish the task given.

F. Assignment

Create a list of ideas about a topic that interests you. Try to come up with
some preliminary concepts, key words, or specific sections within that issue.
After you've done your brainstorming, list the important words below for quick
reference. These key words will come in handy later when searching for
articles. Make a list of three different sorts of print resources you could utilize
to research your issue, and write two trustworthy web references to back up
your claims. Explain how you used each source in your research for your
topic.

A. Topic:
B. Keywords:
C. Print Sources:
D. Web Sources:
