SCOREBOARD

A. Review Previous Last meeting, you learned great values. Yes, ma’am.
Lesson/ Initial Am I right?
Tasks/ Establishing
a Purpose for the So what have we discussed last Ma’am, we discussed about the
Lesson meeting? song titled “Imagine” by John
(1 min) Lennon and the values it reflects.

That's right. We talked about “Imagine”,

a song by John Lennon. From the song,
is there anybody who can share at least
one value you’ve learned?

Yes, Amparado. I learned the value of peace. Peace

is what the world really needs to end
battles and provide the peaceful life
that everyone deserves.

Very well said! Other than peace, we

learned the importance of kindness,
 love, and unity which all transform the
world we live in beautifully. Imagine
how heavenly the earth would be.
Although it seems impossible, but it will
be possible if we are going to apply the
values we’ve learned from the song.
We can start even in the small ways
that we can.

Am I right class? Yes ma’am.

I can see that you understood our last

topic. Let us now move on.

Now, these may seem random words
but they play a role in our lesson.

Who can share his/her thoughts about

what these words depict? I think the words depict war.

We will see if what you said is correct

as we continue with the poem/text.
C. Discussion/ In the story of life, we learn about
Developing Mastery trust and betrayal. Just like in the
poem that we are going to discuss,
where loyalty is important, betrayal
teaches us important lesson about
people and relationship. Its like
understanding both good and bad
sides of the story. This helps us see
life in a complete way.

Motive Question:

Have you been betrayed? Yes ma’am.

Can we hear an experience of being

betrayed? (Volunteer)

After hearing the experience, it is

clear that many of us felt the sting of
betrayal at some point in our lives.

I will show you a video and you will

be provided with its transcription.
Everyone is encouraged to take
note, observe, and listen carefully
for there will be questions asked
later.
 Emperor Charlemagne has the majority
of Spain except for Saragosa where King
Marcillion still rules. The king sent a letter
through Blancandrin falsely promising that he
will be a Christian if the Emperor leaves Spain.
But, Charlemagne did not trust him and
desired an envoy must come to the king. His
nephew Roland offered to go, but the emperor
refused. So Roland suggested Count Ganelon,
Roland’s step father, to go.
Despite obeying the Emperor, Ganelon
was enraged accusing Roland to have planned
for his death. As he rode on, he caught up with
Blancandrin who fled from Charlemagne just a
while ago.
While resting, Blancandrin asked why
the Emperor would want Spain despite having a
vast Empire. Ganelon said it was because of
Roland’s influence. Thus, they plotted against
Roland to eventually desert Charlemagne.
As soon as they arrived, Ganelon
introduced himself and insolently told the king
that he will have the half of Spain if he converts
to Christianity, otherwise he will be executed in
Aix. He falsely added that Roland, the
emperor’s count, will have the other half.
With what Ganelon said, the Saracens
attacked the Emperor’s rear guard led by
Roland. Outnumbered by the King’s warriors,
Roland decided to sound his horn for help. But
his friend, Oliver objected telling him it is an act
of cowardliness. But, Archbishop Turpin
convinced him to blow the horn to call
Charlemagne and be given proper burial in case
they die. Roland blew his horn Olifant.
It reached the Emperor. The Duke of
Nalmon said it must have been blown by a
desperate man. While the traitor Ganelon told
him that it was just Roland showing his hunting
skills. However, he believed the Duke so they
galloped toward the battlefield.
Charlemagne ordered his master cook,
Besgun, to chain and put Ganelon upon a
packhorse. As they sped on their way, the
trumpetors kept blowing as a sign of a coming
aid.
Roland was the last among his
comrades. One of the Saracens who thought
he’s dead tried to steal his sword. But he failed
as Roland smashed him with his horn.
The Sarcarens fled. The Duke saw a
cloud of dust and headed to it to pursue and kill
the remaining enemies.
Back in his palace, King Marsillion lay
dying. Soon, Charlemagne went to Saragosa
with triumph and treated the king’s widow with
courtesy.
He then returned to France where
Ganelon was tried. By law, if he could find a
champion who could defeat any challenger in a
single combat, he’d be spared. Count Thierry
who volunteered in his behalf was defeated by
Pinable. So Ganelon paid the penalty.
Charlemagne was set off to wars again,
but without Roland, who now belonged to a
legend and a song.
After watching the epic poem, how
would you briefly describe the character Ganelon is a traitor ma’am.
of Ganelon.
I think ma’am, because he lied to
Why did you say Ganelon was a traitor? Emperor Charlemagne that Roland
was just showing his hunting skills.

Charlemagne is greedy for

What about Charlemagne? conquering other lands.

It is because he wanted to conquer

Why did you say so? the land of where King Marcillion
lived.

Roland is brave and loyal to

And What about Roland? Charlemagne until his last breath.

In the part where he could blow the

In which part of the story is Roland horn for help but he didn’t because
showing his bravery? he doesn’t want to be a coward.

Indeed. These are the outstanding

qualities of the three men who worked
under one empire but are composed of
different characteristics.
I feel sorry about Roland’s tragic
How did you feel about Roland in the death and also with a feeling of
text? regret that he did not immediately
blow his horn to ask for help.

We do share the same feelings.

I think ma’am it is because of Oliver
Why do you think Roland did not blow who told Roland that it is an act of
immediately his horn for help? cowardness if he will blow the horn.

Oliver is the best friend and also the

Who is Oliver in the story? brother of Roland’s fiancé.

What do you think will happen if Roland If Roland had blown the horn earlier,
had blown the horn earlier? Charlemagne might have arrived
soonest, and that might possibly
save him from death.
Now, you mentioned that Ganelon was
a traitor, How does the betrayal of
Ganelon lead him at the last part of the It leads him of being punish and
story? chained by a Master Cook.
 What condition did Emperor If Ganelon can find a champion who
Charlemagne said to spare Ganelon's could defeat the challenger in single
life? combat Ganelon’s life would be
spared by the Emperor.

Yes ma’am.
Did Ganelon pay the penalty?

Indeed your answers expressed that

you all really understood the piece and
ready to unravel more learning.
D. Developing Mastery Let me emphasize in the story the

assessment)
In the text who do you think is the
opposition of Roland? It is Ganelon ma’am.

In what way did Ganelon stand in

opposition against Charlemagne
and Roland? Through betrayal.

Correct. How did you know that it is

betrayal? As portrayed in the epic ma’am,
Ganelon was upset with Roland,
so he schemed to put him in
danger by using his name when
speaking to King Marsillion.

You are right. It is observed in the

epic poem.

The selection or the epic poem is

just like any other story as it
contains a theme. I know you have
an idea of what theme is, can you
define theme in your own words? It refers to the main message of
the story, ma’am.

That is good. A theme is the

controlling idea or as you said the
main message or the central point of
the story.
What do you think is the theme of
the epic poem “The Song of I think ma’am it is betrayal.
Roland”?

Yes, it is. Why did you say its I think ma’am it is because
betrayal? Ganelon’s betrayal to Roland
significantly influences the story.
“The Song of Roland” may be
considered an epic that deals with
the themes of betrayal, greed, and
heroism.

But, today we will focus more on the

theme betrayal as it has the greatest
weight especially during the
Medieval times. This is because
betrayal to one’s lord or vassal was
considered the greatest violation of
the feudal code. Thus loyalty is the
highest honor a Count can give to
his King or Emperor.

Now, you’ve said that the theme

betrayal is discovered as it is
emphasized in the epic poem. But
also, it is with the help of other
elements.

I know you have discussed already

the elements of the short story, can Characters, setting, plot, conflict,
you name them again? denouement, point of view and
theme.

Definitely Correct! However, today

we will just tackle three of them
particularly the Character, Conflict
and Plot because these elements
help in building the theme.

1. Character:
The characters’ feelings, goals,
personalities, and even experiences
are factors to consider in
discovering the theme.

In the story we had discussed today, It is Roland, Emperor

who are the characters identified? Charlemagne, Ganelon, King
Marsillion and Blancandrin
ma’am
Who do you think is the main Roland is the main character
character and who is the villain in ma’am while Ganelon is the
the story? villain.

Correct.

The next element is Conflict.

2. Conflict creates the tension which
 help unfolds the theme of the story.

In the “The Song of Roland” what is

the conflict of Ganelon to Roland? It is the jealousy of Ganelon
Yes, Villariez? towatds Roland ma’am.

Now what did that Jealousy leads

Ganelon to do? It makes him plotted a betrayal
against Roland ma’am.

What is the conflict between them?

Yes, Muanag? It is Ganelons betrayal to Roland
ma’am.

Let us proceed to Plot.

3. Plot. Is the series of events
gradually reveals the theme.

Who can recall the 5 different parts

of the Plot?
Yes, Tesalona? Ma’am it is the Exposition, Rising
Action, Climax, Falling Action
and Denouement (Resolution).

Now In which part of the plot

(Exposition, Rising Action, Climax,
Falling Action, and Denouement)
have you found the theme of the It is evidently in the climax
text? ma’am.

Correct.

These three elements worked

together to help us discover and
understand the theme. They are all
connected, each one contributed to
the overall idea. This connection is a
like how things work in our own
lives, where different aspects often
come together to reveal a bigger
picture. We also recognize how
betrayal is serious with its
consequences to personal lives and
to the society as a whole.

Generalizations and
Abstractions about
the Lesson

What do you see in the picture? The picture shows gold, ma’am.

Yes, isn’t it appealing? Yes ma’am it is.

But, there is more than gold that you

should learn.

The first circle is a gray inside

 Now, how would you compare these and gold outside. While the
two circles? second is purely gold in color.

Exactly, in jewellery, the first is gold-

plated, the latter is solid gold.

In choosing gold jewellery, you must

learn what is gold and what is gold-
plated. The solid gold offers better and
even best quality worth the price. The
same thing with people, discern those
who are gold and those who are gold
plated.

What makes a person who is solid

gold?
When someone is really exceptional
and always by your side no matter
what.
