attendance first.”
(refers to the seating plan)
“Who is absent for today?”
(if noticed that someone is not in their “None ma’am”
place, ask the students if they know
the reason of absence)
 Motivation
“Since we are done discussing our last
lesson, we are now going to start with
our new lesson.”

(shows a sample picture for students

to describe orally)

“I have here a painting made by Pablo

Picasso. This is called Guernica.
Would you guys please observe the
painting and give your description on 1. It is an abstract.
how it appears to you.”
“Great Job students!”
“Does anyone know the background
story of this painting?”
“Very Good Aurora!”
“Now I have a question, without the
use of a brush, how could you convey
your feelings toward something?”
“Very good insight May”
B. Presentation
“In painting you are using your brush
and paint in order to finish a
masterpiece. Paintings can be so
abstract or simple with underlying
definitions.”
“What do you think is the literary piece
that is very similar to being abstract
with underlying meaning beneath it,
and is very creative in forms?”
“Very good!”
“Poetry is like making an artwork.
2. It is only black and white.
3. It is scary and expresses an intense
emotions and feelings.
4. It is very powerful.
5. It is artistically done.
“It is made by Picasso to express his outrage
over the Nazi bombing of a Basque City in
Northern Spain.”
(the students will give their opinions related
to the question)
“without the use of paint or brush, we can
write a literary work to show or describe our
feelings towards something.”
(students listening to the teacher)
1. Stories
2. Non fictions
3. Poems/Poetry
(answers may vary)
You have to consider the form, the
main idea of the piece before you write
something. It is an artwork using a pen
as its medium.”

“And that will be our lesson for today.”

C. Discussion
(Teacher points to the presentation)
“Class, what is poetry to you?”
1. Poetry is an expression of ideas written in
words using sense of imagination.
2. Poetry is made by a poet.
“Very good answers, Aron, Leila and
3. It could be fiction or non-fiction.
Eugene”
“Poetry is often associated not only
with specialized language but with a
very dense use of such specialized
language. Poems usually try to
express their meaning in much less
space than, say, a novel or even a
short story.”
“There are 2 types of poetry yet we’re
just going to focus at the first type
which is the Narrative poetry.”

(The teacher will flash on the screen

the definition of narrative and its types)

“Upon showing the definition of

Narrative poetry, can you please tell
me what narrative poetry is?”
“Ma’am, based on the definition provided.
 Narrative poetry gives a verbal
representation in verse, of a sequence of
“Great job! Any more idea/s?” events, it propels characters through a plot”
“Ma’am, narrative poems might tell of a love
story, the story of a father and son or the
“Excellent! Now let us proceed with its deeds of a hero or heroine.”
sub-categories”
(The teacher will flash different
examples of the sub-categories of
narrative poetry and its definition)
(The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe; The rape of
the lock by Alexander Pope; and Drover by
Elton John)
“Provided the definitions and
examples, can someone please
identify one sub-category and state “Ma’am for the epic poetry one example is
one example?” The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe.”
“Excellent Greshille! Two more. Give
me one, May” “Ma’am for the mock-epic poetry that would
be The Rape of the Lock by Alexander
“Great job, May! Okay last one, Pope.”
Eugene” “Ma’am the last one is ballad and the
“Good job students! Now with all of example for that is the Drover by Elton John”
your definitions and example. I want
you to summarize the meaning of
these three sub-categories. Anyone?”
(The teacher waits for a volunteer)
“Okay Aurora, please do the honor.” (Aurora will raise her hand)
“Ma’am an epic poetry is a long, narrative
poem that is usually about heroic and events
that are significant to the culture of the poet.
Mock-epic poetry works are typically satires
 or parodies that mock common Classical
stereotypes of heroes and heroic literature.
Ballad is a song, originally transmitted orally,
“Excellent! The three sub-categories of which tells a story.”
narrative poetry are epic, mock-epic,
and ballad. Do you have any
questions regarding that, class?” “None, ma’am”
D. Generalization
“Now before we proceed with our quiz.
I want to hear your insights, realization
and/or opinions about the importance
of studying poetry and knowing its
types.”
“Anyone who wants to go first?”
“Okay we have a volunteer, go ahead (Student will raise her hand)
May.” “Ma’am, allow me to quote a statement;
Poetry is important because it is a counselor
helping us to understand one another.
Leading us away from hate to love, from
“Wonderful insight! Thank you for that. violence to mercy and pity.”
One more” (Student will volunteer)
“Okay go ahead, Eugene”

“For me, it is importance to study poetry

because it helps us understand our self and
“Great job students! I am glad that you
appreciate the world around us.”
are able to come up with those brilliant
insights and ideas.”

E. Application
“Now students, I will give you the
opportunity to share with your
groupmates the ideas that you have in
mind.”
“I want you to divide the class into two
groups and differentiate the three
types of narrative poetry using a Venn
diagram. After that, you will present
your group work in front of the class.
Do you understand?” “Yes Ma’am”
“Okay let us start” (Students will now start doing the activity)
“Alright, done students? You may now (The students will post their work on the
present it in front.” board and the leader per group will
represent their work)
“Impressive! It’s clear that all of you
learned a lot in today’s discussion.
Very good!”
