A. PRELIMINARIES
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
a. Review of the previous lesson

Good morning class!
Good morning, ma’am!
So last time we talked about the two reading
styles for texts. For one point, who can give
me one type of reading style that we have
discussed and briefly define it?
(Students raise their hands)
Ma’am!
Yes, Charlie.
Ma’am, one of the reading styles we have
discussed is: Skimming– whereas, it is
when we read fast in order for us to get the
general overview of the material or the main
idea of a text.
Very good, Charlie! A point for you.
What is the other reading style? Anyone?

Ma’am! I would like to answer.
You may answer, Kendra.
Scanning ma’am.
Yes! And what is scanning?
Ma’am just like skimming, scanning is
when we read a certain text very fast as
well. But in contrary, we read very fast in
order to get or find specific facts/details
instead of the general one.
Good job Kendra!
Now, always remember class that skimming

and scanning reading styles / techniques
uses rapid eye movement and keywords to
move quickly through the text for different
purposes.
Yes ma’am.
Again, when we talk about skimming and
scanning, we employ reading texts very fast
but for different purposes. Skimming is for
general idea of the text while for scanning,
we look for specific details in the text.
Do you understand class?
Very good! Yes Ma’am!
We also talked about skimming and

scanning strategies, right?
Let us have a review class. So, I am going to Yes ma’am.

mention phrases which are connected to
skimming and scanning strategies which we
have discussed last meeting. All you have to
do is identify, which reading style employs
the techniques/strategies I am going to
mention. Is that clear?
First is … Yes ma’am.

4. Employs reading the titles, sub-
titles, subheadings and
illustrations… which reading

Great job, class! Indeed, you guys really did (Students answers)
have a lot of takeaways last meeting. Skimming ma’am.
But here is the question class, why do you

think it is important for you to learn how to
skim and scan texts? What’s in it for you?
Yes, Sam. (Students raise their hands)

Ma’am!
Ma’am I believe that skimming and

scanning will help us to grasp a certain text
in a more efficient way, especially if the
text is very lengthy. We just have to either
Very good input Sam! skim or scan then we’ll surely be able to
understand, somehow.
Indeed, if we possess this reading styles, we
can save a lot of our time and effort in
reading lengthy texts as mentioned by Sam.
What else class?
Yes Kaila? (Students raise their hands)

Ma’am!
Go ahead Kaila. Ma’am I would just like to add something

as well.
In addition, ma’am I believe that it will also

help one to be able to get the main points
faster and allow us, students, to attend class
That’s a very good addendum Kaila. Thank much more prepared to maximize in-class
you so much Kaila. learning during discussions.
Indeed, it can also aid to achieve a more
interactive environment during in-class Thank you, ma’am!
discussions. Like for example a teacher will
ask you questions regarding a certain text,
then you will be able to participate as you
guys would already posses these reading
styles, don’t you think so?
b. Clarifying concepts from the previous

lesson Yes ma’am.
But before we move on to our next lesson or
topic for today, are there any questions or
clarifications about skimming and scanning
reading styles class?
If there are no more clarifications, we can None ma’am.

now move on to our new lesson for today.
c. Introducing new lesson / Motivation

Since last time we talked about skimming
and scanning reading styles, now, let us try
to have an activity class before we proceed
to our lesson.
Here is a fable entitled “The Monkey and

the Turtle” by Jose Rizal. Now, class please
read the fable silently altogether. I’ll give
you 3 minutes to read it.
The Monkey and the Turtle (Philippines)

Now class, how can you relate to the story?

Ma’am!
Yes Shai.
Ma’am because before, to be honest, I admit
that I have been greedy sometimes as well.

house chores, and asks me to help her, I still

class? Yes ma’am.
Very good class! Thank you so much for

your active participation.
d. Establishing the purpose of the new

lesson
What reading styles have you employed

when you read the fable class?
Skimming and scanning ma’am.
Yes, very good.
Was it helpful that you were able to learn

skimming and scanning reading styles class?
How? Yes, ma’am.
Ma’am we were able to read and grasp the

fable more in a more efficient manner.
Indeed. Now, in connection to our activity
class, you have employed another type of
reading style. Are you aware of it?
Yes, ma’am. Skimming and scanning
ma’am.
Yes. Aside from skimming and scanning,
actually, you were able to employ another
type of reading style. And that is our lesson
for today.
I am going to introduce to you all about the

intensive reading style.
e. Stating the new lesson’s objectives
But before we proceed, let’s read our lesson

B. Lesson Proper
a. Discussion Proper
Now class, let us define the term intensive

reading.
Who wants to read it?

Ma’am!
Yes, Jana.
Intensive reading Intensive reading

such as to answer reading such as to answer reading

Thank you, Jana.

Now, based from the definition provided,
what is your understanding about intensive
reading?
Ma’am!
Yes, Lana.
In my understanding, intensive reading is to
read a piece of text to gain a deeper
understanding of that text, ma’am.
Yes, you are right, Lana. Thank you.
Remember class, the goal of intensive

reading is:
 not to read many texts for fluency
but it is a detailed focused study
reading of those important parts,
pages or chapters.
 To read intensively is to completely
deconstruct a text, with the goal of
absorbing as much meaning from it
as possible.
 Further, this is done by taking a text,
and systematically looking up every
word, phrase, or collocation that you
do not understand.
Did you get it, class? Yes ma’am.
Now, you are probably wondering, when is

it best to use intensive reading. Kindly read
altogether class.  Intensive Reading is used when you

Thank you, class.
Additionally, in intensive reading, we need

to know the reading styles, skimming and
scanning in order to do the intensive
reading.
Andrew reads a short text and put

Andrew reads a short text and put
events from it into chronological order.
In the example given, Andrew reads a short

text to put important events into
chronological order. How did Andrew do it? By intensive reading, ma’am.
Very good. But how are you able to

determine that Andrew is employing
intensive reading skill? Ma’am because he paid attention to every
specific detail the text, like time factor
ma’am in order for him to chronologically
arrange the short story in its proper order.
Definitely! Because again class, intensive

reading involves learners/readers in details
with specific learning aims and tasks.
Now that we have successfully defined what

intensive reading is, do you think you have
done it before class? To be able to read a
text intensively? Yes Ma’am.
Can you share your thoughts or experiences

on how can you say that you’ve experienced
employing intensive reading before class? Ma’am, when I read a long text and when I
cannot understand it, I try to read it again
from the beginning and it takes so much
time. That is why sometimes I get bored or
burned out from reading.
Thank you for sharing, Shai.
Actually, I know we can all relate to that

especially if there are a lot of highfaluting
words and if the text is lengthy. In
connection, intensive reading requires great
mental effort and focus, indeed.
But no worries class, here are some tips on

how we can employ intensive reading for us
to not re-read the text again if we are unable
to grasp its content. Kindly read the first
bullet altogether class. How to read intensively?
Tips on how to read intensively? • Start to read at the beginning.
• Start to read at the beginning.
Indeed, we always start reading the

beginning of the text. Further, as we read
and go through the text, we can also
underline any unfamiliar words or phrases.
But take note class, that we should not stop
the flow of our reading. In addition, Kindly,
read class. • If the text is relatively easy,

underline, highlight or make brief notes.
Indeed, do you guys still highlight your
printed learning materials? Or do you even
print out your learning materials or you
guys prefer to have an e-copy of it? Ma’am, for me it is better to have it printed
still, so that I can highlight the key words
when I’m reviewing.
Yes. Back during the day class, we also do

the same especially when exams are
approaching. Third bullet please.
 If the text is difficult, read it through

at least once before making notes.
Yes. What do you often do class when a

certain you have read the first time is
difficult to understand? Ma’am I personally try to read it again for
the second time around.
Yes. I also do that as well. Further, to be

able to really comprehend and understand a
certain text, jotting down important details
can also help a lot. Do you agree class? Yes ma’am.
Okay next bullet please. Kindly read.
• Be alert to the main ideas. Each

sentence.
Do you agree class that in order to

comprehend well through intensive reading
that we should be alert to the main ideas of
the text? Yes ma’am.
Why? Ma’am because most of the time, once we

already know the main idea in the text, we
can be able to understand the text further.
Indeed! Because also most of the time class,

the information in the text revolves around
or are near the main idea.
And for the last bullet class. Please read.

In simpler terms class, what can you

understand from the last bullet? Ma’am!
Yes Ian. Ma’am in connection to the last bullet, I

believe that the app Merriam dictionary will
help us a lot as students especially if there
are unfamiliar words that we need to look
up. Being able to understand the word will
help us to further develop clearer
understanding of the ma’am.
Very well-said Ian. Thank you so much.

Yes. Looking up the unfamiliar words
through dictionaries will enrich your mental
capacity class. Further, you will also
develop reading comprehension more
comprehensively and effectively.

Ma’am!
What do you think about the legend?
It is very interesting ma’am. I really paid
Yes Karlie. attention to it, because the topic caught my
curiosity.
Yes indeed, Karlie.
Now class let us try to dissect the legend

and test your reading comprehension if you
were able to apply what you have learned.
Question, for 5 points…

1. Who are the characters in the Ma’am!

Makusog- Ibalon chief of the tribe and
Daragang Magayon’s father, Pangaronon-
the proud one and Patuga- the eruptive one
and the ardent suitor of Daragang Magayon.
Great job Sam! 5 points for you.
Next question…

one) met Daragang Magayon?
Pangaronon met Daragang Magayon
Yes Grace. because he saved her from the stream of
current in the river where Daragang

Magayon’s life, Pangaronon
asked Makusog permission to
marry her daughter. Why did
Makusog denied the permission
of marriage to Pangaronon? Ma’am!
Yes Aiseah. Ma’am because it is against their tribal law

to allow marriage outside of the clan.
Very good! 5 points for you as well Aiseah.
4. How did Patuga attained marriage

with Daragang Magayon? Ma’am!
Yes Jamsid. Ma’am Patuga kidnapped Daragang

Magayon’s father: Makusog and threatened
her that he will kill her father if she refuses
to marry him. That’s why Daragang
Magayon married Patuga against her own
will.
Good job Jamsid! 5 points for you as well.
5. How did the Mayon Volcano

emerge? Ma’am!
Yes, Charles. Ma’am After the battle, Daragang Magayon

who died of being shot by a poisoned arrow
was buried and her death was mourned all
over the land. Where she was put to rest, a
mountain mysteriously appeared and that is
how this mountain is now known as Mayon,
after her name.
Great analysis Charles! 5 points for you as

well. Lastly…
6. What is the moral lesson we can

Ma’am!
draw from the story?
Ma’am we can draw that pain makes us do
Yes, Kai.
bad things just like how Patuga resorted to
kidnapping Makusog just so he can marry
Daragang Magayon.
Indeed, Kai. Isn’t it class when we are hurt,

Yes ma’am.
we tend to think, say or even do bad things
just so can get what we want right?
Just like if we want our parents to buy us

something and they can’t give it to us, we
tend to sow bad emotions and thought right?
Yes ma’am. Also, ma’am just like when I
Do you agree class?
am watching news, people steal or worst
even kill because they are either envious of
what other people have that they don’t.
Yes, indeed. That is why, class always

Yes ma’am.
remember that “we should not make
decisions when we are in the peak of our
emotions”, okay?
Wow! You guys are so good! We have now

successfully dissected the “Legend of
Mayon Volcano” and you have successfully
answered all the questions I’ve given, which
proves that you guys are successful in
employing what you have learned for today:
intensive reading skill. We have
successfully achieved our lesson objectives
for today. So that’s how you do it guys.
Great Job!
7. After the Lesson

a. Summary of the lesson
Good job, everyone! That’s it for our lesson
today. Always remember that:
 Intensive reading involves learners

reading in detail with specific
learning aims and tasks.
 Intensive reading is one of the most
critical skills you can develop to
understand information better.
 After reading quickly to find the
section of text containing the answer
you need, you will need to read
intensively to locate the specific
information required to answer the
question. Intensive reading is done
at a slower pace and more carefully.
 Taking notes is convenient when
you reread the text and can be
particularly helpful when you’re
reading a long report.
Did you understand, class?
b. reinforcement of what was taught Yes ma’am.
Again class, it is important to learn intensive

reading not just to look for specific answers
to a question, but also to improve your
comprehension skills, enhance your writing
skills, boosts vocabulary, increases general
knowledge, enhances memory and
concentration levels, and it improves critical
thinking skills.
Indeed, Intensive reading is, without a

doubt, a positive addition to your life as a
reader and a student.
By applying the tips on how to read

intensively, you are able to understand, find
meanings in a certain text, and be able to
answer such questions related to the text
that you have read. And in the real word,
you can employ intensive reading in your
everyday life. Like, reading an article,
reading a contract, and reading your favorite
blogs. Reading is part of our life.
Do you agree, class?
c. Enhancement of weak content analysis Yes ma’am.
Do you have any questions, clarifications, or

any addendum regarding our topic for
today?
Ma’am I would just like to add that in
intensive reading we really have to pay
close attention to every word in the text.
Because as mentioned during the discussion,
we have to look closely to every specific
detail in the text.
Yes, you are right. In reading intensively to
find answers to specific questions, we need
to focus closely on each word or content
words such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and
etc. Understand class? Yes ma’am.
Take a look at this example.
It is easy to read this by focusing on the

content words in bold.
The content words are already in “bold
style” for an emphasis.
Are there more questions?

None ma’am.
V. EVALUATION
I believe that you are now more than ready

to take on our next activity. Before anything
else, class I would like you to go to your
proper seats.
On the count of 5, I want everyone on their

proper seats You will be having a group
activity.
(Students moved to go to their proper seats.)
What is the total population of your class?

Third Activity: Reading comprehension

Check.
Read the folklore “Juan Tamad” by Manuel
Arguilla, then answer the questions that
follows.
Juan Tamad
Filipino Folktale
Juan was always getting into trouble. He
was a lazy boy, and more than that, he did
not have good sense. When he tried to do
things, he made such dreadful mistakes that
he might better not have tried. His family
grew very impatient with him, scolding and
beating him whenever he did anything
wrong. One day his mother, who was
almost discouraged with him, gave him a
bolo and sent him to the forest, for she
thought he could at least cut firewood. Juan
walked leisurely along, contemplating some
means of escape. At last he came to a tree
that seemed easy to cut, and then he drew
his long knife and prepared to work. Now it
happened that this was a magic tree and it
said to Juan: “If you do not cut me I will
give you a goat that shakes silver from its
whiskers.” This pleased Juan wonderfully,
both because he was curious to see the
goat, and because he would not have to
chop the wood. He agreed at once to spare
the tree, whereupon the bark separated and
a goat stepped out. Juan commanded it to
shake its whiskers, and when the money
began to drop he was so delighted that he
took the animal and started home to show
his treasure to his mother. On the way he
met a friend who was more cunning than
Juan, and when he heard of the boy’s rich
goat he decided to rob him. Knowing Juan’s
fondness for tuba, he persuaded him to
drink, and while he was drunk, the friend
substituted another goat for the magic one.
As soon as he was sober again, Juan
hastened home with the goat and told his
people of the wonderful tree, but when he
commanded the animal to shake its
whiskers, no money fell out. The family,
believing it to be another of Juan’s tricks,
beat and scolded the poor boy. He went
back to the tree and threatened to cut it
down for lying to him, but the tree said:
“No, do not cut me down and I will give you
a net which you may cast on dry ground, or
even in the tree tops, and it will return full
of fish.” So Juan spared the tree and started
home with his precious net, but on the way
he met the same friend who again
persuaded him to drink tuba. While he was
drunk, the friend replaced the magic net
with a common one, so that when Juan
reached home and tried to show his power,
he was again the subject of ridicule. Once
more Juan went to his tree, this time
determined to cut it down. But the offer of a
magic pot, always full of rice and spoons
which provided whatever he wished to eat
with his rice, dissuaded him, and he started
home happier than ever. Before reaching
home, however, he met with the same fate
as before, and his folks, who were becoming
tired of his pranks, beat him harder than
ever. Thoroughly angered, Juan sought the
tree a fourth time and was on the point of
cutting it down when once more it arrested
his attention. After some discussion, he
consented to accept a stick to which he had
only to say, “Boombye, Boomba,” and it
would beat and kill anything he wished.
When he met his friend on this trip, he was
asked what he had and he replied: “Oh, it is
only a stick, but if I say ‘Boombye, Boomba’
it will beat you to death.” At the sound of
the magic words the stick leaped from his
hands and began beating his friend until he
cried: “Oh, stop it and I will give back
everything that I stole from you.” Juan
ordered the stick to stop, and then he
compelled the man to lead the goat and to
carry the net and the jar and spoons to his
home. There Juan commanded the goat, and
it shook its whiskers until his mother and
brothers had all the silver they could carry.
Then they ate from the magic jar and
spoons until they were filled. And this time
Juan was not scolded. After they had
finished Juan said: “You have beaten me
and scolded me all my life, and now you are
glad to accept my good things. I am going
to show you something else: ‘Boombye,
Boomba’.” Immediately the stick leaped out
and beat them all until they begged for
mercy and promised that Juan should ever
after be head of the house. From that time
Juan was rich and powerful, but he never
went anywhere without his stick. One night,
when some thieves came to his house, he
would have been robbed and killed had it
not been for the magic words “Boombye,
Boomba,” which caused the death of all the
robbers. Sometime after this he married a
beautiful princess, and because of the
kindness of the magic tree they always lived
happily.

folktale “Juan Tamad”?
2. What is the meaning of the name
“Juan Tamad”?
3. What does Juan Tamad do for a Yes, ma’am!
living?
4. Why is the reason why Juan (Students passing the papers in front)
determined to cut his tree?

VI. ASSIGNMENT/AGREEMENT
Alright my dear students. After answering

the activities that I have given. Let’s now Yes, ma’am.
move on to your assignment, are you ready?
For your assignment, read the story

Dogedog by Mitchelle C. A Filipino
Folktale. Make sure to read it and apply
what you have learned today. After reading,
answer the question given. I expect you to Yes, ma’am.
submit it on time. Do you understand, class?
I will give you a copy of the story along

with the question sheets.
Dodgedog
By Mitchelle C.
Dogedog had always been very lazy, and

now that his father and mother were dead
and he had no one to care for him, he lived
very poorly. He had little to eat. His house
was old and small and so poor that it had
not even a floor. Still, he would rather sit
all day and idle away his time than to work
and have more things.
One day, however, when the rainy season
was near at hand, Dogedog began thinking
how cold he would be when the storms
came, and he felt so sorry for himself that
he decided to make a floor in his house.
Wrapping some rice in a banana leaf for his
dinner, he took his long knife and went to
the forest to cut some bamboo. He hung the
bundle of rice in a tree until he should need
it; but while he was working a cat came and
ate it. When the hungry man came for his
dinner, there was none left. Dogedog went
back to his miserable little house which
looked forlorn to him even, now that he had
decided to have a floor.
The next day he went again to the forest and
hung his rice in the tree as he did before,
but again the cat came and ate it. So the
man had to go home without any dinner.
The third day he took the rice, but this time
he fixed a trap in the tree, and when the cat
came it was caught.
“Now I have you!” cried the man when he
found the cat; “and I shall kill you for
stealing my rice.”
“Oh, do not kill me,” pleaded the cat, “and
I will be of some use to you.”
So Dogedog decided to spare the cat’s life,
and he took it home and tied it near the
door to guard the house.
Some time later when he went to look at it,
he was very much surprised to find that it
had become a cock.
“Now I can go to the cock-fight at
Magsingal,” cried the man. And he was
very happy, for he had much rather do that
than work.
Thinking no more of getting wood for his
floor, he started out at once for Magsingal
with the cock under his arm. As he was
crossing a river he met an alligator which
called out to him:
“Where are you going, Dogedog?”
“To the cock-fight at Magsingal,” replied
the man as he fondly stroked the rooster.
“Wait, and I will go with you,” said the
alligator; and he drew himself out of the
water.
The two walking along together soon
entered a forest where they met a deer and
it asked:
“To the cock-fight at Magsingal,” said the
man.
“Wait and I will go with you,” said the
deer; and he also joined them.
By and by they met a mound of earth that
had been raised by the ants, and they would
have passed without noticing it had it not
inquired:
“To the cock-fight at Magsingal,” said the
man once more; and the mound of earth
joined them.
The company then hurried on, and just as
they were leaving the forest, they passed a
big tree in which was a monkey.
shrieked the monkey. And without waiting
for an answer he scrambled down the tree
and followed them.
As the party walked along they talked
together, and the alligator said to Dogedog:
“If any man wants to dive into the water, I
can stay under longer than he.”
Then the deer, not to be outdone, said:
“If any man wants to run, I can run faster.”
The mound of earth, anxious to show its
strength, said:
“If any man wants to wrestle, I can beat
him.”
And the monkey said:
“If any man wants to climb, I can go
higher.”
They reached Magsingal in good time and
the people were ready for the fight to begin.
When Dogedog put his rooster, which had
been a cat, into the pit, it killed the other
cock at once, for it used its claws like a cat.
The people brought more roosters and
wagered much money, but Dogedog’s cock
killed all the others until there was not one
left in Magsingal, and Dogedog won much
money. Then they went outside the town and
brought all the cocks they could find, but
not one could win over that of Dogedog.
When the cocks were all dead, the people
wanted some other sport, so they brought a
man who could stay under water for a long
time, and Dogedog made him compete with
the alligator. But after a while the man had
to come up first Then they brought a swift
runner and he raced with the deer, but the
man was left far behind. Next they looked
around until they found a very large man
who was willing to contend with the mound
of earth, but after a hard struggle the man
was thrown.
Finally they brought a man who could
climb higher than anyone else, but the
monkey went far above him, and he had to
give up.
All these contests had brought much money
to Dogedog, and now he had to buy two
horses to carry his sacks of silver. As soon
as he reached home, he bought the house of
a very rich man and went to live in it. And
he was very happy, for he did not have to
work anymore.
Assignment:
