TEACHERS ACTIVITIES STUDENTS ACTIVITIES
A. ROUTINE ACTIVITY

1. Prayer

Everybody, kindly stand up Tina lead the

prayer please.
Good morning, Lord! Today's a new day, a
chance for a new start. Yesterday is gone and
with it any regrets, mistakes, or failures I may
have experienced. It's a good day to be glad
and give thanks, and I do, Lord. Thank you for

You may now take your sit.
3. Checking of Attendance None, teacher.

Nicole had you checked if there is anyone

absent today?

Okay great!

Yes, teacher!
4. Checking of Assignment

Did you bring the mirror that I told you

yesterday?

Noted teacher!

Good. Bring out your mirror now and make

sure to handle your mirror with care to avoid
any accidents, understood?

B. Motivation

Before we start, let’ have a game first.

This game is called “Arrange Me”. Now group

yourself into 2 groups by counting. Let’s start
here, count one to two. (Students starts counting)

Very good! Now go to your respective groups

now.
(Students going to their group mates)
Okay. Here is the mechanics of the game. I
have here a short rumbled quotes and I want
you guys to arrange this quote and explain the
meaning of the quote later on the front. I will
be giving you 2 minutes to arrange and write
the meaning of the quote and 1 minute to
explain. Your time starts now.

(Students start assembling the rumbled quotes

and write their explanation.)
(Quote)

“Momma said we had to fight the evil inside us

by overcoming it with goodness”

Time’s up! Group 1 explains your answer Eric

go to the front.

“Momma said we had to fight the evil inside us

by overcoming it with goodness”. For us
teacher it means that we all have evilness
inside us and to overcome it we need to seek
God and make goodness in our everyday life to
overcome it.

Good explanation! Okay now Group 2

representative to the front.
“Momma said we had to fight the evil inside us
by overcoming it with goodness”. Fighting
evilness inside us is not easy, in order to fight
it we need to control ourselves remind
ourselves, and seek god in our everyday life.
Very good everyone! What you all said is
correct. Just always remember that every
mother/parents only wants good things for
their children. They are always there ready to
help their children even in fighting the evilness
inside them. They are always there to guide
you along the way and remind you as well by
doing goodness in your everyday life and teach
you how to control yourself and especially
seek for God’s forgiveness.
Okay give a round of applause to yourself for
doing a job well done!

C. DISCUSSION
(Students clapping their hands)
Our topic for today is all about the poem
Jabberwocky written by Lewis Carroll. Like
the quotes that you arranged, this poem is
about a father telling a story to her son about
the good versus evil and killing of the evil
jabberwocky.

But before that, at the end of the lesson I am

expecting you to:

a. define and use unfamiliar words in a

sentence,
b. summarize the action of the poem
Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, and
c. formulate a creative role play using the
poem by relating it to real life situation.

To know more about the poem let us first read

the biography of the author first.

Diadem, stand up and read.

Author’s name: Charles Lutwidge Dogson

Pen Name: Lweis Carroll

Born: January 27, 1832

Died: January 14, 1898

Purpose of writing: Lewis Carroll wrote the

poem “Jabberwocky” for the amusement of his
brothers and sisters, it is full of nonsensical
 words throughout a typical ballad form to tell a
tale of good versus evil, which culminates in
Very good! Since you now mentioned about the killing of the fearsome Jabberwock.
the nonsensical words in the poem. Let us now
unlock some of those words.

So let us now use your mirrors and let’s call

this “Through the Reading Glass”.

(Students bringing out their cellphones and

So, I have here 10 words in the board, I am dictionary)
going to call at least 10 of you, and you have to
choose one of the words here, read it using
your mirror and find the meaning of the word
and use it in a sentence. You can choose either
dictionary of your cellphone to look for the
meaning. I will be giving you 1 minute to look
for the meaning and give the definition of it
and your example sentence.

Thank you so much Ruth! Okay the last one

is……….Michael you are the winner for the
last word.

(Read the word using the mirror) Tulgey

means dark teacher.

“The scene on the grudge is so tulgey.”

Nice example Micheal. Okay since we already

unlocked some of the unfamiliar words let us
now proceed to our main topic and analyze the
poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll.

 Beaming – radiantly beaming, happy,

cheerful.
 Brillig – four o’clock in the afternoon,
the time when you begin to broiling
things for dinner.
 Chortle – a combination of chuckle
and snort.
 Frabjous – blend of fair, fabulous, and
joyous.
 Frumious – combination of fuming
and furious.
 Gimble – to make holes like a gimlet.
 Gyre – a circular or spiral motion or
form.
 Slithy – means lithe and slimy
 Wabe – side of the hill.
  Tulgey – thick, dense, dark.

To further understand the poem let us see what

this is all about, how many lines and stanzas
are in the poem, the setting, plot, tone and the
mood. Let’s start with the first stanza first.

Allen read the first stanza of the poem.

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Dis gyre and gible in the wabe;

All mimsy in the borogoves,

Thank you Allen. And the mome rath outgrabe.

Shervet, describe the scene in the first stanza.

Where it begins and what do you think is the
tone used in this one?

Yes teacher. The first stanza begins with the

setting of the story being an afternoon with
strange nonsense creatures, the borogoves and
raths, milling around and making noises. It
seems serene, yet maybe a little unsettling and
uneasy because these creatures seem to be
Very good Shervet! lurking in the shadows.

Okay Jason read the 2nd stanza and explain

what is happening based on your
understanding.

“Beware the Jabberjack, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

 The frumious Bandersnatch!?

The second stanza teacher initiates the epic

hero’s quest. It is here that the father warns the
son to beware of something called a
Jabberwock that has “jaws that bite, and claws
that catch” and other horrible things including
a Jubjub bird and a Bandersnatch.
That’s great Jason.

Honey Grace, characterize the Jabberwock and

supply the evidence from the text that you
think supports your answer.
I think teacher the characteristics of the
Jabberwock based on the poem are: Jaws that
bite, claws that catch, Bandersnatch, uffish,
eyes of flame, whiffling, burbled --These
words pose a danger to the son. Biting and
catching claws are descriptors with negative
connotations.
Very Good Hone Grace!

Read the 3rd stanza, Era.

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

Long time the manxome foe he sought-

So rested he by the Tumtum tree,

And stood awhile in thought.

Okay Kirby stand up. Who do you think is

“He” in the poem and what is “He” doing?

He is the son. The son is searching or sets off

on his quest by taking his “vorpal sword in
hand” and going to look for the Jabberwock.
He tires, and rests by the Tumtum tree and
thinks or meditate about what he is going to
do.
Very good Kirby!

Next stanza Mosses, read it and explain what

happens in this stanza based on your
understanding.

And as in uffish thought he stood,

The jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

And burbled as it came!

While the son is resting, the Jabberwock, the

ugly creature comes from the woods making
strange noises and attacks the son. with his
eyes flaming, comes trampling through the
Great Mosses! You are all very good today! wood and burbled as it came.”

Okay proceed to the next stanza. Roxanne

you’re next, read the fifth stanza and explain
what the author means in stanza 5.

One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.

I think it is pertaining for the son that stands

firm and stabs the Jabberwock with his large
blade - back and forth, the son, is triumphant
when he kills the Jabberwock by cutting off the
Awesome Era! Okay we are now down to the head of the creature.
last one stanza here, let’s see who is the lucky
one to explain this.

Okay. Laurence read the sixth stanza.

 “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”

Thank you so much Laurence. He chortled in his joy.

Now. Camille explains the last stanza. What

mood is evident in this stanza? Supply the
evidence that supports your analysis and
thinking.

The son returns home and the father is

overjoyed; they celebrate. So in short, for me,
the mood in this stanza is joyful. The father is
praising his son by using words such as
Callooh! Callay! Frabjous day the father
shouts, completing the epic venture. In
addition an exclamation mark indicates
Very good! You really are ready for our excitement. The father chortled in his joy.
today’s lesson. Okay one last more. There is
another one stanza here, read it and explain it
Margilyn.

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Dis gyre and gible in the wabe;

All mimsy in the borogoves,

And the mome rath outgrabe.

Teacher the last stanza is just a repeat of the

first stanza with life returning back to the
beginning setting, perhaps indicating that life
has returned to normal. The unsettled and
uneasy feeling of the morning could now be
Perfect! Okay class gives a round of applause gone due to the slaying of the Jabberwock.
for all those who answered my questions and
analyze the poem!
(Students clapping)

Okay now, let’s check what have you noticed

in the poem. How many lines are there in each
stanza?

There are 28 lines in each stanza teacher!

Very good!

How about the sentences? How many

sentences are in the poem? Kimberly?

14 sentences in total teacher!

Great! How about the mood in the poem?

What did you notice about the mood in the
poem? Precious?

Teacher I notice that the mood of this poem

changes throughout in relation to the setting
and character actions teacher.

Okay, but how can you say that?

Because teacher for example is in the

beginning it seems there is a sense of
normalcy. The mood seems to be serene,
however there may be a feeling of
apprehension in the shadows of these creatures.

Okay. Another one? For the second stanza?

Armela?
There is a shift in the second stanza teacher
when the father warns the son of the
Jabberwock. The frightening image of this
monster that has “jaws that bite and claws that
catch” creates a fearful mood.
 Thank you so much for your wonderful
explanation Armela!

How about you Richelle? For the third stanza?

On the third stanza teacher when the son starts
his quest and the poem again shifts back to a
peaceful time where the son rests and thinks
about what is in store for him. The mood shifts
to horrific when the Jabberwock viciously
interrupts this peaceful scene when he comes.

Wow! Okay last one Precious. After the first,

second and third stanza. For the rest of the
stanzas what have you noticed in the
shiftments of mood on the rest stanzas?
After the first three stanza teacher the brave
son stands his ground and in an exciting
climax, he beheads the Jabberwock. On this,
we feel peaceful but joyous as the father
praises the son for completing a rite of passage
into adulthood. Finally, things return to
normal and finish the day as quietly as they
began.

Nice explanation Precious very good!
