Review of the Alright, yesterday we’ve discussed an
 approach in literary criticism.
Yes ______, what is it all about?
Ma’am, yesterday’s topic is all about
Marxist. Wherein we learned that
Marxist approach scrutinizes the text
as “an expression of contemporary
class struggle.”

Very good! So can you still remember

what are the typical questions that we One question may be “Which class
may ask in this Marxist approach? does the work claim to represent?”.

Great! Some more questions? How do characters from different

classes interact or conflict?”

Very good! Last question? What social classes do the characters

represent?
Any more questions about our previous
lesson? None, Ma’am.

Alright! Since no one wants to raise a

question. I’ll be the one to ask. Why do
we need to use this approach again?
Previous Lesson What’s the main purpose of using
modals marxist approach in critiquing a Ma’am marxist approach is valuable
literary piece? because it enables readers to see the
role that class plays in the plot of the
text.
Exactly! It is necessary because as we
use Marxist approach in critiquing a
certain literary piece, it helps us to
emphasize the social reality.

Any more clarifications? None, Ma’am.

If that so, before we proceed with our

topic for today do we have our word
bank already? Yes Ma’am!

What is it then?
“supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”
Let us read the meaning Being great or extraordinary

Alright! I want you to know that you are

all “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”.

B. Motivation Now, if you are ready, let us try to

unlock your schema first. I have a
question for you. Are you familiar with
the concept of mix and match?
GROUP ACTIVITY: FIND AND MATCH

Today we will be having an activity

identical to that, so we will call it FIND
 AND MATCH.
You’ll be divided into two groups. So for
the first group, I’ll be giving you a set of
pictures on the other hand the second
group will be given a set of phrases.

All you need to do is to find your match.

You need to match the following
characters to their famous lines.
Is the instruction clear?
If that so, you may now begin finding
your match! Yes, Ma’am!

Great answers. Did you enjoy the

activity?
Let’s take a look at the matches that (Students will answer)
you found. Pairs may you line up here.
Who is the first one?
Ma’am she’s Catriona Gray and her
famous line is " I will bring this aspect
as a Miss Universe to see situations
Great work! with a silver lining..."
How about the second one?
She’s Mirabel from the movie Encanto
Very Good! Then next is? "The stars don't shine they burn."

Alright! Moana - "See that line where the sky

meets the sea. It calls me!"

Pia Wurtzbach “ Confidently beautiful

with a heart”

Jessica Soho “Di umano…”

Give yourselves a round of applause.
For you were all
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
C. Lesson These pictures reveal our lesson for
Proper today. So for us to unlock it, I have here
jumbled letters.

Of course, they are in random

sequence, all you need to do is to
arrange these letters to reveal our topic
for today.

I’ll be giving you 3 minutes to think

about it.
Ma’am I think it’s feminist.
Very good! So what we will be talking
about today is feminist.
Looking back at the pictures that we
have. Do you think there are any hidden
messages that these women tried to
impose? Any observation?
Ma’am Catriona’s answer is way more
Very good observation! inspiring and powerful.
Some more ideas?
Ma’am Moana is a brave woman.
Great idea!
How about the others?
I saw Pia Wurtzbach’s confidence
That’s awesome! ma’am and it somehow inspired me as
well.
These observations are just a glimpse
of what feminism is.
Yes, ___________. What is feminist Feminist literary criticism follows the
literary criticism? broader perspective of feminism,
which identifies and challenges the
ways in which women are
marginalized in a patriarchal (male–
Very good! dominated) society, as well as how this
For us to better understand, here is marginalization and dominance is
another definition. Yes, ________. resisted.

Feminist Literary approach focuses on

Feminist literary criticism helps us look female representation in literature,
at literature in a different light. It applies paying attention to female points of
the philosophies and perspectives of view, concerns, and values.
feminism to the literature we read.

That is one of the misconceptions!

Feminist is not about believing that Ma’am do women wants to dominate
women are superior to men , or wanting the world?
to tear down men. It involves identifying
ways in which equality between sexes
is not realized.
Feminism arises from the viewpoint of
feminism, feminist theory.
Here is the history of feminism by
Maggie Humm and Rebecca Walker.
It is divided into three waves. What can
you say in the picture?

I can see that women don’t have the

right to vote. That’s why there is a rally.

Good observation. That is the first

wave. Let’s see where it focused on.

It happened last 19th century.


Very Good! Well during the second
wave, here is what happened. Any
observations?
Great observation! Let’s see, what
really happened during the second
wave.
Perfect! If 1 wave is about the rights to
st
vote then 2nd wave is for women’s
equality, what do you think happened
during the third wave?
Perfect!
Yes, ________ what is the third wave is
about?
Perfect! So what can you say about this
happenings? How does the society see
women before?
Where focused on the promotion of
equal contract and property rights for
women and the opposition to chattel
marriage and ownership of married
women and their children by their
husbands. It also focused on gaining
political power, particularly the rights of
women’s suffrage.
Based on the picture I can see that
women are being oppressed, ma’am.
Focused on the civil rights movement.
Raised the issues of equality and
justice.
Is it about equality ma’am?
Gender and sexuality are the main
focus.
It makes terms masculine for the
stereotype of men and feminine for the
stereotype of women.
Gender is determined by culture
Ma’am as a woman, I don’t want to be
treated like that. So I can see now,
through the literature just like Jose
Rizal it helps the author to spread
 awareness.
Exactly! Just like what you felt when
you saw Catriona Gray and read her
quote.
Going back to feminist literary
approach, if we are to examine a
certain text. Where do you think we
need to focus now? Feminist Literary approach focuses on
female representation in literature,
paying attention to female points of
Well said! view, concerns, and values.
It advocates gender equality, especially
towards women. It also examines how
some aspects of our culture are
inherently patriarchal or male-
dominated.
Pick a question
Since we know the idea of feminist,
before we try to put it into practice, I
have prepared here questions.
Applying the concept of feminist, which
do you think among these questions
can be considered?
1. Is the author male or female?
2. Is the text narrated by a male or
female?
3. What social class is the author part
of?
4. What types of roles do women have
in the text?
5. Are the female characters the
protagonists or secondary and minor
characters?
6. What values does it reinforce?
7. Do any stereotypical
characterizations of women appear?
8. What are the attitudes toward women
held by the male characters?
9. How well was the setting developed?
10. What is the author’s attitude toward
women in society?
11. How does the author’s culture
influence his/her attitude?
12. Is feminine imagery used? If so,
what is the significance of such
imagery?
13. Do the female characters speak
differently than the male characters?

Can you please help me write down on

the board the questions that we need to
focus on?
  Is the author male or female?
 Is the text narrated by a male
or female?
 What types of roles do women
have in the text?

literary criticism? How are we going to
know where are we going to use it?
Now let me tell you, just like us. Just
like you, every literary approach has its
own uniqueness. We use this because
it will help us understand the beauty of
literature.
That’s Cool! Any question so far?

None, ma’am.

Mushroom -Sylvia Plath
Overnight, very
Whitely, discreetly,
Very quietly

Our toes, our noses

Take hold on the loam,
Acquire the air.

Nobody sees us,

Stops us, betrays us;
The small grains make room.

Soft fists insist on

Heaving the needles,
The leafy bedding,

Even the paving.

Our hammers, our rams,
Earless and eyeless,

Perfectly voiceless,
Widen the crannies,
Shoulder through holes. We

Diet on water,
On crumbs of shadow,
Bland-mannered, asking
Little or nothing.
So many of us!
So many of us!

We are shelves, we are

Tables, we are meek,
We are edible,

Nudgers and shovers

In spite of ourselves.
Our kind multiplies:

We shall by morning
Inherit the earth.
Our foot's in the door.
