Analysis:
Seven Ages of
Man By William
Shakespeare All the
world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely
players; They have their exits and their
entrances, And one man in his time
plays many parts, His acts being seven
ages. At first the infant, Mewling and
puking in the nurse’s arms;
And then the whining schoolboy, with his
satchel And shining morning face, creeping
like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the
lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful
ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.
Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the
pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in
quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the
justice, In fair round belly with good
capon lined, With eyes severe and beard
of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern
instances; And so he plays his part.
The sixth age shifts Into the lean and
slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on
side; His youthful hose, well saved, a
world too wide For his shrunk shank; and
his big manly voice, Turning again
toward childish treble, pipes And
whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere
oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste,
sans everything.

find errors in capitalization.
Source: http://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/language_arts/capitial/1/
Analysis:
What did you notice about some words in the composition? Can
you derive the rules on capitalization based from the miswritten
words?
Capitals for Proper Nouns
 Capitalize all proper nouns.
e.g. Makati Avenue, Dusit Hotel, Boracay, North America, Rowena Reyes,
Istanbul
 Capitalize names of specific events and times.
e.g. Asean Summit, World War II, Ramadan, Easter, Thanksgiving Day
 Capitalize the names of various organizations, government bodies, political
parties, nationalities and languages.
e.g. Rotary Club, Red Cross, Republican Party, Liberal Party, British, Mandarin,
Spanish, Latin
 Capitalize references to religions, deities, and religious scriptures.
e.g. Islam, Christianity, Buddha, Allah, Koran, Bible, Revelation, Genesis
Capitals for Proper Adjectives

 Capitalize most proper adjectives.
e.g. Korean people, Thai culture, Mexican foods, Paris fashions,
Spanish epoch, Nicaraguan accent
Capitals for Titles

 Capitalize a person‘s title when it is followed by the person‘s name or used
in direct address.
e.g. Atty. Jun Yanilla, Miss Edna Ravida, Admiral John Tan, Reverend Tim
Chua
 Capitalize all important words in compound titles but do not
capitalize prefixes and suffixes added to the titles.
e.g. Commander-in-Chief , Vice President, ex – Senator Salonga

 Capitalize titles showing family relationships when they refer to specific
person, unless they are preceded by a possessive noun or pronoun.
e.g. Yesterday, Uncle Ben was so happy.
Did Sister Beth arrive on time?
Our aunt forgot her keys.
Tanya‘s grandmother once played the violin.

 Capitalize abbreviations of titles before and after names.
e.g. before names: Mr., Ms., Mrs., Rev.,
Gen. after names: Sr., Jr., Ph.D.
 Capitalize the first word and all other key words in titles of books,
periodicals, poems, stories, plays, paintings, and other work of arts. All
words in a title should be capitalized except articles, prepositions , and
conjunctions fewer than five letters. These words are capitalized only when
they are the first word of the title.
e.g. The Pretenders, Romeo and Juliet, On the Road to Recovery, The Lives
of the Caesars
Capitals for Sentences

 Capitalize the first word in declarative, imperative, interrogative, and
exclamatory sentences.
e.g. Our company will raise the salary of regular
workers, Have you file your report?
Bring the raw materials.
What an amazing journey!
 Capitalize the first word in a quotation if it is a complete sentence.
e.g. She said, ―The children are exhausted.‖

The Battle with Grendel
from Beowulf
translated by Burton Raffel
Epic 4
Out from the marsh, from the foot of misty

Hills and bogs, bearing God‘s hatred,
Grendel came, hoping to kill
Anyone he could trap on this trip to high Herot.
He moved quickly through the cloudy

night, Up from his swampland, sliding
silently
Toward that gold-shining hall. He had visited Hrothgar‘s
Home before, knew the way—
But never, before nor after that night,
Found Herot defended so firmly, his

reception So harsh. He journeyed, forever
joyless, Straight to the door, then snapped it
open, Tore its iron fasteners with a touch,
And rushed angrily over the threshold.
He strode quickly across the inlaid

Floor, snarling and fierce: His eyes
Gleamed in the darkness, burned with a gruesome
Light. Then he stopped, seeing the hall
Crowded with sleeping warriors, stuffed
With rows of young soldiers resting together.
And his heart laughed, he relished the sight,

Intended to tear the life from those bodies
By morning; the monster‘s mind was hot
With the thought of food and the feasting his
belly Would soon know. But fate, that night,
intended
Grendel to gnaw the broken

bones Of his last human supper.
Human Eyes were watching his
evil steps, Waiting to see his swift
hard claws. Grendel snatched at
the first Geat
He came to, ripped him apart,

cut His body to bits with powerful
jaws,
Drank the blood from his veins, and
bolted Him down, hands and feet; death
And Grendel‘s great teeth came together,
Snapping life shut. Then he stepped to another

Still body, clutched at Beowulf with his claws,
Grasped at a strong-hearted wakeful sleeper
—And was instantly seized himself, claws
Bent back as Beowulf leaned up on one
arm.
That shepherd of evil, guardian of crime,

Knew at once that nowhere on earth
Had he met a man whose hands were harder;
His mind was flooded with fear—but nothing
Could take his talons and himself from that tight
Hard grip. Grendel‘s one thought was to run

From Beowulf, flee back to his marsh and hide there:
This was a different Herot than the hall he had emptied.
But Higlac‘s follower remembered his final
Boast and, standing erect, stopped
The monster‘s flight, fastened those claws

In his fists till they cracked, clutched
Grendel
Closer. The infamous killer fought
For his freedom, wanting no flesh but retreat,
Desiring nothing but escape; his claws
Had been caught, he was trapped. That trip to Herot

Was a miserable journey for the writhing monster!
The high hall rang, its roof boards
swayed, And Danes shook with terror.
Down The aisles the battle swept,
angry
And wild. Herot trembled, wonderfully

Built to withstand the blows, the struggling
Great bodies beating at its beautiful walls;
Shaped and fastened with iron, inside
And out, artfully worked, the
building
Stood firm. Its benches rattled, fell

To the floor, gold-covered boards grating
As Grendel and Beowulf battled across
them.
Hrothgar‘s wise men had fashioned Herot
To stand forever; only fire,
They had planned, could shatter what such skill had put
Together, swallow in hot flames such splendor
Of ivory and iron and wood. Suddenly
The sounds changed, the Danes
started
In new terror, cowering in their beds as the terrible
Screams of the Almighty‘s enemy sang

In the darkness, the horrible shrieks of
pain And defeat, the tears torn out of
Grendel‘s
Taut throat, hell‘s captive caught in the
arms Of him who of all the men on earth
Was the strongest.
That mighty protector of men

Meant to hold the monster till its
life
Leaped out, knowing the fiend was no
use To anyone in Denmark. All of
Beowulf‘s Band had jumped from their beds,
ancestral
Swords raised and ready, determined

To protect their prince if they could. Their courage
Was great but all wasted: They could hack at
Grendel From every side, trying to open
A path for his evil soul, but their points
Could not hurt him, the sharpest and hardest iron

Could not scratch at his skin, for that sin-stained demon
Had bewitched all men‘s weapons, laid spells
That blunted every mortal man‘s blade.
And yet his time had come, his days
Were over, his death near; down

To hell he would go, swept groaning and helpless
To the waiting hands of still worse fiends.
Now he discovered—once the afflictor
Of men, tormentor of their days—what it meant
To feud with Almighty God: Grendel

Saw that his strength was deserting him, his
claws Bound fast, Higlac‘s brave follower
tearing at His hands. The monster‘s hatred
rose higher, But his power had gone. He
twisted in pain,
And the bleeding sinews deep in his shoulder

Snapped, muscle and bone split
And broke. The battle was over, Beowulf
Had been granted new glory: Grendel escaped,
But wounded as he was could flee to his den,
His miserable hole at the bottom of the marsh,

Only to die, to wait for the end
Of all his days. And after that bloody
Combat the Danes laughed with
delight.
He who had come to them from across the sea,
Bold and strong-minded, had driven affliction

Off, purged Herot clean. He was happy,
Now, with that night‘s fierce work; the Danes
Had been served as he‘d boasted he‘d serve them;
Beowulf, A prince of the Geats, had killed Grendel,
Ended the grief, the sorrow, the suffering

Forced on Hrothgar‘s helpless people
By a bloodthirsty fiend. No Dane
doubted The victory, for the proof,
hanging high
From the rafters where Beowulf had hung it, was the monster‘s
Arm, claw and shoulder and all.

And then, in the morning, crowds surrounded
Herot, warriors coming to that hall
From faraway lands, princes and
leaders Of men hurrying to behold the
monster‘s
Great staggering tracks. They gaped with no

sense Of sorrow, felt no regret for his suffering,
Went tracing his bloody footprints, his
beaten And lonely flight, to the edge of the
lake
Where he‘d dragged his corpselike way, doomed
And already weary of his vanishing life.

The water was bloody, steaming and
boiling In horrible pounding waves, heat
Sucked from his magic veins; but the
swirling Surf had covered his death,
hidden
Deep in murky darkness his

miserable End, as hell opened to
receive him.
Then old and young rejoiced, turned back
From that happy pilgrimage, mounted their hard-hooved
Horses, high-spirited stallions, and rode

them Slowly toward Herot again,
retelling Beowulf‘s bravery as they
jogged along.
And over and over they swore that
nowhere On earth or under the spreading
sky
Or between the seas, neither south nor

north, Was there a warrior worthier to rule
over men. (But no one meant Beowulf‘s
praise to belittle Hrothgar, their kind and
gracious king!) . . .

So the thing to do when working on a motorcycle, as in any other task, is to
cultivate the peace of mind which does not separate one‘s self from one‘s
surroundings. When that is done successfully then everything else follows
naturally. Peace of mind produces right values, right values produce right
thoughts. Right thoughts produce right actions and right actions produce
work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at
the center of it all.
—Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
With an artistic drama we empathize with one or more of its characters, but
there‘s also a distance between us and their situation—a safety valve that
allows us to express a range of emotions, but also to say, ―It‘s only a movie,‖
―It‘s only a play.‖, ―It‘s only a novel.‖ Work is based upon problem solving,
how to eliminate conflict and get the job done. Episodic is fine for work. We
want day-by-day not confrontational trauma—even if it would lead to life-
changing revelation. But drama exaggerates conflict, pushes situations to
their extreme and leads us to a big turning point.
In a poem entitled Four Great Poets, Robert Francis puts his finger on the
heart of Frost‘s greatness: ―His head carved out of granite O / His hair
wayward drifts of snow / He worshipped the great God of Flow / By holding
on and letting go.‖ Here‘s an example from part of one of Frost‘s lesser
known pieces, For Once, Then, Something. In the first half he says friends
rebuke him for looking into a well and seeing only himself, reflected in the
water godlike in a wreath of ferns and cloud puffs. It‘s a criticism that could
be aimed at any writer, but what is as interesting as the meaning of Frost‘s
reply is this sense of movement that carries the reader forward to the
climatic end.
DHAKA: Hosts Bangladesh will meet Pakistan in the opening match of the
four-nation Asia Cup cricket tournament starting in Dhaka in March, an
official said on Monday. Old rivals Pakistan and India will meet in a mouth-
watering clash on March 18. The Sher-e-Bangla National stadium will host all
the matches, including the inaugural tie on March 12 and the final on
March 22, Asian Cricket Council chief executive Syed Ashraful Huq said. ―All
teams including India and Pakistan have confirmed their participation,‖ he
said. India won the last edition of the tournament in Dambulla in Sri Lanka in
June 2010.

TASK 4: CHECKPOINT
Identify the text type of the following articles as journalistic,
informative, or literary.
1. There were once five-and-twenty tin soldiers, who were all brothers, for they
had been made out of the same old tin spoon. They shouldered arms and
looked straight before them, and wore a splendid uniform, red and blue. The
first thing in the world they ever heard were the words, "Tin soldiers!" uttered
by a little boy, who clapped his hands with delight when the lid of the box, in
which they lay, was taken off. They were given him for a birthday present,
and he stood at the table to set them up. The soldiers were all exactly alike,
excepting one, who had only one leg; he had been left to the last, and then
there was not enough of the melted tin to finish him, so they made him to
stand firmly on one leg, and this caused him to be very remarkable.
2. What can we do to have a healthy circulatory system? Don't smoke! ...Take
vitamin E to keep the arteries supple. Eat those fresh vegetables and fruit
that supply you with antioxidants – very good for your heart. Eat fish instead
of red meat – much better for your heart.
3. First identified in the 1950s, dengue is spread by the female Aedes aegypti
mosquito; the first documented cases were in the Philippines and Thailand.
The disease has since struck worldwide, with over 100 countries at risk and
390 million infections yearly. It takes 4-10 days to become obvious, with a
high fever and flu-like symptoms. (But that‘s exactly what it‘s not. It‘s
important not to mistake it for the common flu.) It does not have a cure. The
only thing to be
done is to maintain the patient‘s bodily fluids until the disease runs its
course. It‘s crucial that dengue be detected early, as the proper medical
attention can lower mortality from 20 percent to just under 1 percent. Left
unchecked or identified, dengue kills.
4. True!-nervous--very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am! but why will
you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses--not
destroyed--not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I
heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell.
How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily--how calmly I
can tell you the whole story.
5. Arroyo, who was recently re-elected to a third term as Pampanga
representative, received her release papers from the Sandiganbayan after
the high tribunal‘s ruling was released earlier in the day saying the antigraft
court erred in its findings that the former President personally benefited
from intelligence funds of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
6. Dengue cases rise by 36% nationwide, says DOH. For 39-year-old housewife
Maribel, the rainy season used to bring happy memories of her childhood as
she and her siblings would frolic in the heavy downpour. But not anymore.
Not since a year ago when she almost lost her 8-year-old daughter to
dengue hemorrhagic fever, the more severe form of dengue fever, a viral
infection transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
7. I was sick, sick unto death, with that long agony, and when they at length
unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving
me. The sentence, the dread sentence of death, was the last of distinct
accentuation which reached my ears. After that, the sound of the
inquisitorial voices seemed merged in one dreamy indeterminate hum.
8. Nicotine is one of the most harmful and widely available legal drugs in the
world. It's addictive and harmful both to smokers and the people passively
exposed to smoke, especially children. If you'd like to give up smoking, but
don't know where to begin, create a structured plan.
9. President Duterte on Thursday appealed for an end to violence, ahead of his
first address to Congress in which he said he would call for an end to
conflicts.
―I don‘t see anything good coming out of this war. For the sake of our
children, we have to stop this war,‖ the President told a gathering of
government troops, policemen, people displaced by conflict and local
officials. It was Mr. Duterte‘s first visit to a province in the Autonomous
Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) since assuming the presidency on June
30.
10. How to keep your hair healthy? Wash your hair two to three times a week.
Avoid hot showers. Shampoo your scalp, not your roots. Towel-dry your hair
before applying conditioner. Brush your hair twice a day, from the bottom
up. Use a low-heat setting for hair-drying and point the nozzle down, not
side-on. Try castor oil, hair oil and dry shampoo.

TASK 8: MY LEGACIES
What would your legacy be? Accomplish the chart below.
The Day of Destiny
from Morte D‘Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory
Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte D’Arthur is the most complete single version of the tales of
King Arthur and his court that has been written in English.
“The Day of Destiny,” an excerpt from this work, describes the end of King Arthur’s reign
and the dissolution of the order which he, along with his Knights of the Round Table, has
established. This end grows out of the corruption within the royal court itself. Arthur’s
illegitimate son Mordred knows of the secret love affair between Arthur’s wife, Queen
Guinevere, and his best friend, Sir Lancelot. One night Mordred leads a band of knights to
Guinevere’s chamber, where they find the Queen with Lancelot.
Although he is reluctant, Arthur feels obligated to obey the law of the land and burn his
wife at the stake. However, at the last minute Lancelot rescues her, killing two knights who
are guarding her. Lancelot subsequently flees to a castle in France and Arthur forgives
Guinevere. Sir Gawain, the brother of the dead knights, demands vengeance on Lancelot.
His hatred forces Arthur to lead his men on an attack against Lancelot’s French fortress. In
the ensuing battles Lancelot seriously wounds Gawain but refuses to kill him.
And quickly King Arthur moved himself with his army along the coastline westward, toward
Salisbury. And there was a day assigned betwixt King Arthur and Sir Mordred that they should
not meet upon a field beside Salisbury and not far from the coast. And this day so assigned as
Monday after Trinity Sunday (the eighth Sunday after Easter), whereof King Arthur was
passing glad that he might be avenged upon Sir Mordred.
So upon Trinity Sunday at night King Arthur dreamed a wonderful dream, and in his dream
it seemed to him that he saw upon a platform a chair, and the chair was fast to a wheel, and
thereupon sat King Arthur in the richest cloth of gold that might be made. And the King
thought there was under him, far from him, and hideous deep black water, and therein was all
manner of serpents, and worms, and wild beasts, foul and horrible. And suddenly the King
thought that the wheel turned upside down, and he fell among the serpents, and every beast
took him by a limb. And then the King cried as he lay in his bed, ―Help, Help!‖
And then knights, squires, and yeomen awaked the King, and then he was so amazed
that he knew not where he was. And then so he awaked until it was night day, and then he fell on
slumbering again, not sleeping nor thoroughly waking. So it seemed to the King that there
came Sir Gawain unto him with a number of fair ladies with him. So when King Arthur saw him,
he said,
―Welcome, my sister‘s son. I weened ye had been dead. And now I see thee on – live, much
am I beholden unto Almighty Jesu. Ah, fair nephew and my sister‘s son, what been these ladies
that hither be come with you?‖
―Sir,‖ said Sir Gawain, ―all these be ladies for whom I have fought for when I was man living.
And all these are those that I did battle for in righteous quarrels, and God had given them that
grace, at their great prayer, because I did battle for them for their right, that they should
bring me hither unto you. Thus much had given leave God, for to warn you of your death. If you
fight tomorrow with Sir Modred, as ye both have assigned, doubt ye not ye must be slain,
and the most party of your people on both parties. And for the great grace And goodness that
Almighty Jesu had unto you, and for pity of you and many more other good men there shall be
slain, God had sent me to you of his special grace to give you warning that in no wise ye
do battle as tomorn, but that ye take a treaty fora month from today. And you make generous
offers , so that tomorn ye put in a delay. For within a month shall come Sir Lancelot with all his
noble knights and rescue you worshipfully and slay Sir Modred and all that ever will hold with him.
Then Sir Gawain and all the ladies vanished. And anon the King called upon his knights,
squires, and yeomen, and charged them quickly to fetch his noble lords and wise bishops unto
him. And when they were come the King told them of his dream, that Sir Gawain had told him
and warned him that, and he fought on the morn, he should be slain. Then the King
commanded Sir Lucan the Butler and his brother Sir Bedivere the Bold, with two bishops with
them, and charged them in any wise to take a treaty for a month from today with Sir Modred.
―And spare not: proffer him lands and goods as much as ye think reasonable.‖
So then they departed and came to Sir Modred where he had a grim host of a hundred
thousand, and there they entreated Sir Modred long time. And at the last Sir Modred was
agreed for to have Cornwall and Kent by King Arthur‘s days, and after that, all England, after
the days of King Arthur.
Then they ageed that King Arthur and Sir Modred should meet betwixt both their hosts,
and each of them should bring fourteen persons. And so they came with this word unto Arthur.
Then said he, ―I am glad that this is done,‖ so he went into the field.
And when King Arthur should depart, he warned all his host that, and they see any sword
drawn, ―Look ye come on fiercely and slay that traitor Sir Modred, for I in no wise trust him.‖ In like
wise Sir Modred warned his host that ―And ye see any manner of sword drawn, look that ye
come on fiercely, and so slay all that ever before you standeth, for in no wise I will not trust
for this treaty .‖ And in the same wise said Sir Modred unto his host, ―For I know well my father
will be avanged upon me.‖
And so they met as their arrangement was and were agreed and accorded
thoroughly. And wine was fetched and they drank together. Right so came and adder out of a
little heathbush, and it stung a knight in the foot. And so when the knight felt him so stung, he
looked down and saw the adder. And anon he drew his sword to slay the adder, and thought
none other harm. And when the host on both parties saw that sword drawn, then they blew
beams, horns, and shouted grimly. And so both hosts dressed them together. And King Arthur
took his horse and said, ―Alas, this unhappy day!‖ and so rode to his party, and Sir Modred in
like wise.
And never since was there never seen a more dolefuller battle in no Christian land, for
there was but rushing and riding, lunging and striking; and many a deadly stroke. But ever King
Arthur rode throughout the battalion of Sir Modred many times and did full nobly, as a noble
should do, and at all times he fainted never. And Sir Modred did his devoir that day and put
himself in great peril.
And thus they fought all the long day, and never stopped till the noble knights were laid to
the cold earth. And ever they fought still it was near night, and then was there a hundred
thousand laid dead upon the down. Then was King Arthur wild with rage out of measure when
he saw his people so slain from him. And so he looked about him and could see no more of all
his host, and good knights left no more on – live, but two knights: the t‘one was Sir Lucan the
Butler and the other his brother Sir Bedivere. And yet they were full sore wounded.
―Jesu, mercy,‖ said the King, ―where are all my noble knights become? Alas that ever I
should see this doleful day! For now, ― said King Arthur. ―I am come to mine end . But would
to God.‖ Said he, ―that I wist now where were that traitor Sir Modred that has caused all this
mischief.‖
Then King Arthur looked about and was ware where stood Sir Modred leaning upon his
sword among a great heap of dead men.
―Now give me my spear.‖ Said King Arthur unto Sir Lucan. ―for yonder I have espied the
traitor that all this woe hath wrought.‖
―Sir, let him be ,‖ said Sir Lucan, ―for he is unhappy. And if ye pass this unhappy day ye
shall be right well revenged upon him. And, good lord, remember ye of your night‘s dream,
and what the spirit of Sir Gawain told you tonight, and yet God of his great goodness had
preserved you hitherto. And for God‘s sake, my lord, leave off by this, for, blessed be God, ye
have won the field: for yet we been here three on – live, and with Sir Modred is not one on –
live. And therefore if ye leave off now, this wicked day of destiny is past.‖
―Now, befall me death, tide me life,‖ said the King, ―now I see him yonder alone, he
shall never escape mine hands. For at a better avail shall I never have him."
―God speed you well !‖ said Sir Bedivere.
Then the King got his spear in both his hands and ran toward his Modred, crying and saying,
―Traitor. Now is thy deathday come!‖
And when Sir Modred saw King Arthur he ran until him with his sword drawn in his hand,
and there King Arthur smote Sir Modred under the shield, with a thrust of his spear,
throughout the body more than a fathom. And when Sir Modred felt that he had his death‘s
wound , he thrust himself with the might that he had up to hand guard of King Arthur´s spear,
and right so he smote his father King Arthur with his sword holden in both his hands, upon the
side of the head, that the sword pierced the helmet and the casting of the brain. And
therewith Sir Modred dashed down stark dead to the earth.
And noble King Arthur fell in a swough to the earth, and there he swooned oftentimes,
and Sir Lucan and Sir Bedivere oftentimes heaved him up. And so, weakly betwixt them, they
led him to a little chapel not far from the seaside, and when the King was there, him thought him
reasonably eased. Then heard they people cry in the field. ―Now go thou, Sir Lucan,‖ said
the King, ―and let me know what betokens that noise in the field.‖
So Sir Lucan departed, for he was grievously wounded in many places. And so as he
walked he saw and harkened by the moonlight how that pillagers and robbers were come into
the field to pill and to rob many a full noble knight of brooches and bracelets and of many a
good ring and many a rich jewel. And who that were not dead all out there they slew them for
their harness and their riches. When Sir Lucan understood this work, he came to the King as
soon as he might and told him all what he had heard and seen. ―Therefore by my advic e,‖
said Sir Lucan, ―it is best that we bring you to some town.‖
―I would it were so,‖ said the King, ―but I may not stand, my head works so. Ah, Sir
Lancelot,‖ said King Arthur, ―this day have I sore missed thee. And alas that ever I was against
thee, for now have I my death, whereof Sir Gawain me warned in my dream.‖
Then Sir Lucan took up the King the t‘one side and Sir Bedivere the other party; and in the
lifting Sir Lucan fell in a swoon that part of his guts fell out of his body, and therewith the nob le
knight´s heart burst. And when the King awoke he beheld Sir Lucan how he lay foaming at the
mouth and part of his guts lay at his feet.
―Alas,‖ said the King, ―this is to me a full heavy sight to see this noble duke so die for my
sake, for he would have helped me that had more need of help than I. Alas that he would
not complain him for his heart was so set to help me. Now Jesu have mercy upon his soul.‖
Then Sir Bedivere wept for the death of his brother.
―Now leave this morning and weeping, gentle knight,‖ said the King, ―for all this will not avail
me. For wit thou well, and I might live myself, the death of Sir Lucan would grieve me evermore.
But my time passeth on fast,‖ said the King.
―Therefore,‖ said King Arthur unto Sir Bedivere, ―take thou here Excalibur my good sword
and go with it to yonder water‘s side: and when thou comest there I charge thee throw my
sword in that water and come again and tell me what thou saw there‖.
―My lord,‖ said Bedivere, ― your commandment shall be done, and I shall quickly bring your
sword again.‖
So Sir Bedevere departed. And by the way he beheld that noble sword, that the hilt and
hand guard was all precious stones. And then he said to himself, ―If I throw this rich sword in
the water, thereof shall never come good, but harm and loss.‖ And then Sir Bedivere hid
Excalibur under a tree. And so, as soon as he might, he came again unto the King and said he
had been at the water and had thrown the sword into the water.
―What did you see there?‖ said the King.
―Sir,‖ he said, ―I saw nothing but waves and winds.‖
―That is untruly said of you,‖ said the King. ―And therefore you go quickly again and do
my commandment: as you are to me loved and dear, spare not, but throw it in.‖
Then Sir Bedeivere returned again and took the sword in his hand. A nd yet he thought sin
and shame to throw away that noble sword. And so again he hid the sword and returned
again and told the King, that he had been at the water and done his commandment.
―What did you see there?‖ said the King.
―Sir,‖ he said, ―I saw nothing but waters lap and waves grow.‖
―Ah, traitor unto me and untrue,‖ said King Arthur, ―now you have betrayed me twice. Who
would have weened that you have been to me so loved and dear, and you are named a noble
knight, and would betray me for the riches of this sword. But now go again lightly, for you long
tarrying put me in great jeopardy of my life, for I have taken cold. And but if you do now as I bid
you, if ever I may see you I shall slay you with my own hands, for you would for my rich sword see
me dead‖.
Then Sir Bedivere departed and went to the sword and lightly took it up, and so he went
to the water´s side; and there he bound the girdle about the hilts, and threw the sword as far
into the water as he might. And there came an arm and a hand above the water and took it
and clutched it, and shook it thrice and brandished; ands then vanished away the hand with
the sword into the water. So Sir Bedivere came again to the King and told him what he saw.
―Alas,‖ said the King, ―help me hence, for I dread me I have tarried overlong.‖
Then Sir Bedivere took the King upon his back and so went with him to that water´s side,
even closer, by the bank floated a little barge with many fair ladies in it; and among them all
was a queen; and all they had black hoods, and all they wept and shrieked when they saw
King Arthur.
―Now put me into that barge,‖ said the King; and so he did softly. And there received him
three ladies with great mourning, and so they set them down. And in one of their laps King
Arthur laid his head, and then the queen said, ―Ah, my dear brother, why have ye tarried so
long from me? Alas, this wound on your head had caught overmuch cold.‖ And anon they
rowed fromward the land, and Sir Bedivere beheld all the ladies go forward him.‖
Then Sir Bedivere cried and said, ―Ah, my lord Arthur, what shall become of me, now you
go from me and leave me here alone among my enemies?‖
―Comfort yourself,‖ said the King, ―and do as well as you may, for in me is no trust in. For I
must into the legendary valley to heal me of my grievous wound. And If you hear nevermore
of me, pray for my soul.‖
For ever the queen and ladies wept and shrieked, that it was pity to hear. And as soon as
Sir Bedivere had lost sight of the barge he wept and wailed, and so took the forest and went
all that night.
And in the morning he was ware, betwixt two bare woods, of a chapel and a hermitage.
Then was Sir Bedivere glad, and thither he went, and when he came into the chapel he saw
where lay a hermit groveling on all fours, close thereby a tomb was new dug. When the hermit
saw Sir Bedivere he knew him well, for he was but little before Bishop of Canterbury, that Sir
Modred put to flight.
―Sir,‖ said Sir Bedivere, ―what man is there here interred that you pray so fast for?‖
―Fair son,‖ said the hermit. ―I wot not verily but by guessing. But this same night, at midnight,
here came a number of ladies and brought here a dead corpse and prayed me to inter him.
And here they offered a hundred tapers, and gave me a thousand gold coins.‖
―Alas,‖ said Sir Bedivere,‖ that was my lord King Arthur, which laid here buried in this
chapel.‖ Then Sir Bedivere swooned, and when he awoke he prayed the hermit that he
might abide
with him still, there to live with fasting and prayers:
―For from hence will I never go,‖ said Sir Bedivere,‖ by my will, but all the days of my life here
to pray for my lord Arthur.‖
―Sir, you are welcome to me,‖ said the hermit, ―for I know you better than you think That I
do: for you are Sir Bedivere the Bold, and the full noble duke Sir Lucan the Butler was your
brother.‖
Then Sir Bedivere told the hermit all as you have heard before, and so he stayed with the
hermit that was beforehand Bishop of Canterbury. And there Sir Bedivere put upon him poor
clothes, and served the hermit full lowly in fasting and in prayers.
Thus of Arthur I find no more written in books that been authorized, neither more of the very
certainty of his death heard i nor read, but thus was he led away in a ship wherein were three
queens; that one was King Arthur‘s sister, Queen Morgan le Fay, the other was the Queen
of North Galis, and the third was the Queen of the Waste Lands.
Now more of the death of King Arthur could I never find, but that these ladies brought him
to his grave, and such one was interred there which the hermit bare witness that was once
Bishop of Canterbury. But yet the hermit knew not in certain that he was verily the body of
King Arthur; for this tale Sir Bedivere, a knight of the Table Round, made it to be written.
Yet some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but carried by
the will of our Lord Jesu into another place; and men say that he shall come again, and he
shall win the Holy Cross. Yet I will not say that it shall be so, but rather I would say: here in
this world he changed his life. And many men say that there is written upon the tomb this:
Hic iacet Arthurus, Rex

Quondam, Rexque
futurus
(Here lies Arthur, who was once king and king will be again)

And turnin‘ corners,
And sometimes goin‘ in the
dark Where there ain‘t been
no light. So boy, don‘t you
turn back.
Don‘t you set down on the

A Psalm of Life
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they
seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,

Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world‘s broad field of

battle, In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe‘er pleasant!

Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,— act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o‘erhead!
Lives of great men all remind

us We can make our lives
sublime, And, departing, leave
behind us Footprints on the
sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,

Sailing o‘er life‘s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and

doing, With a heart for any
fate; Still achieving, still
pursuing, Learn to labor
and to wait.

Objectives:
1. Develop inferential comprehension skills by figuring out unknown words
using context clues
2. Determine the type of context clue used for a given word or expression
3. Enhance word knowledge by selecting and generating words
4. Exhibit giving importance to knowledge of context clues by arriving with

2. Handouts
3. Paper and pen
References:

III. LEARNING TASKS
Introduction: The meaning of a word can often be gleaned from clues in the
surrounding context. What comes before and after a new word can reveal its
meaning, structure, and use.
TASK 1: WORD DOMINOES
The students will work as team. Each team is given the entire
set of dominoes.
Directions:
1. The students read the sentences and use clues to determine the meaning of
the underlined word.
2. The students then must search the remaining dominoes to find the definition of
the word.
3. The students should line up the sentence with the underlined word next to
its definition in the same way to connect dominoes.
4. When completed, the students should be able to connect all of the dominoes
from start to finish.

TASK 2: LET‟S PLAY DETECTIVES!
1. Suppose you are detectives using clues to figure out what an
unfamiliar word means.
2. You will work in pairs in analyzing this sentence: “The vixen was not
as fortunate.”
3. Define or guess the meaning of the underlined word. Share your definitions
with your partners.
Do you think there is not enough context in the sentence to infer the meaning
of the word vixen?
Analysis:
TASK 3: LPR3 MNEMONIC
The LPR3 mnemonic is a useful aid for figuring out unknown words from context.
Apply the reminder/mnemonic to get the meaning of the unfamiliar words in the
following sentences.
1. Even when the police officers put the handcuffs on my mother, she
maintained her
dignity, holding her head up high as she was marched off the protest site.
2. The rays from the rising sun shined splendidly through our kitchen window.
3. John was so hungry that he didn‘t leave a single particle of the muffin on
the plate.
4. Cassie took her time when she wrote in cursive, slowly making each word
out of an elegant series of arcs and loops.
5. Kevin thought that it was a great injustice that girls could wear earrings in
the school while the boys could not.
Abstraction:
TASK 4: DIGGING THE CLUES
Study these four common types of context clues and think
about what information in the sentence is useful and what is
not. Afterwards, work with partners and come up with different
examples for all the types of context clues.
Types of Context Clues
1. Definition – the word is defined directly and clearly in the sentence in which it
appears.
Example:
The arbitrator, the neutral person chosen to settle the dispute, arrived at her
decision.
2. Antonym (or contrast) – often signaled by the words whereas, unlike, or
as opposed to.
Examples:
Unlike Jamaal‘s room, which was immaculate, Jeffrey‘s room was very messy.
Whereas Melissa is quite lithe, her sister is clumsy and awkward.
3. Synonym – other words are used in the sentence with similar
meanings. Example:
The slender woman was so thin her clothes were too big on her.
4. Inference – word meanings are not directly described, but need to be
inferred from the context.
Example:
Walt‘s pugnacious behavior made his opponent back down.
4. Restatement – words are restated using easier language. Commas, dashes, or
other punctuation can point to a restatement clue, along with expressions
such as that is, in other words, and or.
Example:
My father is a podiatrist, or foot doctor.

and it paid off!
4. Charlie was .
5. Unlike Kevin, who was excited when he killed his first deer, Charlie was .
Now, working with your partner, enhance the context of at least two of the
sentences using the types of context clues you learned about. As an example,
for any inference clue, you might rewrite sentence 4 to read, “After working a
double shift, Charlie was exhausted.” Write your two revised sentences in the
space below and indicate what type of context clue is being used.

If ─
By Rudyard
Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don‘t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don‘t give way to hating,
And yet don‘t look too good, nor talk too
wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you‘ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to,
broken, And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-
out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‗Hold on!‘
If you can talk with crowds and keep your

virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the
common touch, If neither foes nor loving
friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too
much; If you can fill the unforgiving
minute
With sixty seconds‘ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that‘s in it,
And—which is more—you‘ll be a Man, my son!
