B. Motivation
QUOTE RELAY!

Today, you will be introduced to

a new literary piece. But before
that, let us first have an activity to
warm up your thoughts on our
discussion. This activity is called
‘Quote Relay’. You will be
grouped into two. All you have to
do is to relay the quote up to the
last person in the line. The last
person will write the quote on the
board. The first group who can
finish the activity will shout, ‘We
are done!’.

Am I clear? (The students respond)

Well done, class!

For our Catch-up Friday, let us

have the presence of Max
Ehrmann through his poem
“Desiderata”.

C. Lesson Proper
I will read the poem first.

“DESIDERATA” BY MAX
EHRMANN
 Go placidly amid the noise and
the haste, and remember what
peace there may be in silence. As
far as possible, without
surrender, be on good terms with
all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and

clearly; and listen to others, even
to the dull and the ignorant; they
too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive

persons; they are vexatious to the
spirit. If you compare yourself
with others, you may become vain
or bitter, for always there will be
greater and lesser persons than
yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well

as your plans. Keep interested in
your own career, however
humble; it is a real possession in
the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business

affairs, for the world is full of
trickery. But let this not blind you
to what virtue there is; many
persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of
heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not

feign affection. Neither be cynical
about love; for in the face of all
aridity and disenchantment, it is
as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the

years, gracefully surrendering the
things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to

shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with
dark imaginings. Many fears are
born of fatigue and loneliness.
 Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself. You are a
child of the universe no less than
the trees and the stars; you have
a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to

you, no doubt the universe is
unfolding as it should. Therefore
be at peace with God, whatever
you conceive Him to be. And
whatever your labors and
aspirations, in the noisy
confusion of life, keep peace in
your soul. With all its sham,
drudgery and broken dreams, it is
still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Now, it’s your turn class.

Please read the poem in 3, 2, 1,

ready, begin! (The class reads the poem)

Good job class!

Now, can someone read the

poem again? (Student A raises his/her hand)

Yes, Student A? (Student A reads the poem)

Thank you, Student A!

Last but not the least reader? (Student B raises his/her hand)

Yes, Student B? (Student B reads the poem)

Thank you, Student B!

Did you understand the poem? (The students respond)

Do you have questions or

clarifications? (The students respond)

Great!

D. Application
Now, let me ask you something;

 What do you want in life? (The students respond)

  What can you do to live a
happy life?
 Can your own attitude (The students respond)
affect the degree of
happiness?
 What is the moral/lesson (The students respond)
of the poem?
(The students respond)
Thank you for sharing, 10- St.
(Section)!

See you on our next meeting!

Goodbye and thank you 10-St.

(Section)!
