Preparation
A pleasant morning my dear Grade 7
Sapphire students!
A pleasant morning, ma’am!
How are you feeling today, class?
Feeling good, ma’am.
Well, that’s good to hear. I hope
everyone feels good throughout the
discussion. May we have a volunteer or
class representative to check the
attendance? Ma’am, may I?

Yes, please. Thank you. Now, are you

ready for our lesson for today, class? Yes, ma’am.

That sounds energetic. I am glad that

you are excited to learn. Before delving
to our lesson, can you tap the person
next to you and say “I am happy that you
are here to learn with me today.” “I am happy that you are here to learn with
me today.”

Very good! Give yourselves a clap.

Since this is our first meeting, allow me

to introduce myself, I am Pearl Kaileen
A. Padama, your student teacher for
today.
A. Classroom Rules

Let’s proceed to my class rules or gentle

reminders to keep us on ground,
respectful and interactive in our
classroom. Let us go over them prior to
the official start of the lesson.
1. Communicate using the
English Language.
2. If you want to answer, raise
your hand first and wait for
me to acknowledge you.
3. Don’t make unnecessary
noises.
4. State your concerns in a
 respectful manner.

5. Participate and have fun.

Okay, class? I hope everything still

comes in clear about these class rules.

B. Motivation

Learning Task 1. Tre(assure) Words

Before we start our class, we will be

having an adventure which contains 5
stations that will lead us to the treasure.
In our first station, we have to unfold a
word that will serve as our guide in
unlocking the other stations.

The mechanics of the game is I will be

giving you a code that you will try to
decipher or unravel with the use of the
keypads pasted in the board. Write your
answers in the white board that I have
provided. I will give you 20 seconds to
answer and the first group to raise their
answer will be the winner. Every time
that your group were able to answer first, Yes, ma’am.
you will be given a treasure coin. Do you
understand, class?
Determination
Bravery
Sprit
Boldness
Fearless

Congratulations, my little pirates. You

were able to find the words that lead us
to our treasure. Give yourselves a pat on
your shoulders for doing a great job. As
for the __ group, congratulations for
winning the first game. Keep the treasure
coins and we will count them at the end
of our class. Whoever loot the most
treasure coins will be receiving the
treasure.

I am pleased for your enthusiasm in our

activity. It just tells so much of your
behavior as learners, very attentive and
active. For now, I want you to stay with
your group for our next activity.

Presentation
I appreciate everyone who participated in
our simple activity wherein I was able to
see how participative you are. Very
impressive!

Now, may I ask the class, how was your

experience in the activity? Did you have
fun? What have you noticed in the
activity?
The activity was very fun on my part
ma’am. Decoding a word is quite
challenging. Despite of that, we were able
to uncover the words.
Wow that’s great! I am pleased to hear
that you enjoyed our activity. How about
the others? What have you observed on
the words? Are they synonymous? Yes, ma’am. The words determination,
bravery, spirit, boldness, and fearless
seem to mean the same.

Well said! You have a keen eye! But do

these words mean? What is the word
they are synonymous to? It begins with
letter C. Is it courage, ma’am?

You got it right! What a mind! These

words are all synonymous to the word
courage. But what do you know about
the word courage? Ma’am, courage is when you have a
strong heart to face difficulties.
Wow. That is one accurate definition of
courage. Let’s get to know more about
this word through the story, Peril in the
lagoon. Let’s see how the characters
manifested such quality.
Unlocking Difficulties
But before delving into the lesson, let’s
proceed to the second station. I know
you have encountered unfamiliar words
in the text, The Peril in the Lagoon.
Therefore, we need to unlock the
meaning of some unfamiliar words for
you to better understand the text. And
this will be done through a game titled
“Complete Me”.

As you can see in the board, I have a

map which contains five stations. Every
station has jumbled letters. And each
group will have to get their jumbled
letters in their respective stations. Then,
you have to arrange the letters. After
that, you will notice the highlighted letter
in the word and that is the first letter of its
definition. So, you will then have to paste
the word to its correct definition. The first
one to paste the correctly ordered letter
to its definition will be the winner.
Venturing – travel somewhere that maybe
dangerous.
Dampening- make feelings especially of
excitement, less strong.
Vicious- intending to hurt badly or likely to
be violent.
Eloquently- using language to express
ideas clearly.
Sobered- serious and making you think
carefully about things.
Well done! You were able to distinguish
every word! The winner may now claim
their treasure coins in front.

Comparison/Abstraction
Now that you have unlocked the
meaning of the unfamiliar words, I think
you have gained additional knowledge
and a better understanding of the text.
Now, for our third station, we will be
having another activity but before that,
let’s refresh your minds about The Parts
of a Plot.

Alright. Let us now check your

understanding through another activity
titled (F.Y.I. for your information). I have
here a set of questions about the story
that you will be answering. So, I will be
asking volunteers in-front to read and
answer some questions from the pasted
envelope

So, these are the questions.

1. Can you identify the characters
and the setting of the story?
The characters are Uncle Sidro, Tony,
David and Berting. The setting on the
other hand is the Lagoon.

2. What was the rule of Uncle Sidro Uncle Sidro did not want the three
to the brothers and what is his brothers to swim in the Lagoon because
reason? there’s a vicious shark.

3. What did the boys feel about the They felt disappointed since they were
vacation when they were told not very eager to swim in the Lagoon.
to swim in the lagoon.

4. What happened to the boys when They saw the shark and they were able to
they went to the Lagoon? slaughter the shark.

5. How did Uncle Sidro react when At first, Uncle Sidro seemed to be serious
he saw the boys? but then, he also seemed to be proud with
the three boys. As stated in the story, his
eyes twinkled.

6. How did the story ended?

Berting planned to sell the shark in the
market and his two brothers went in the
Lagoon for a swim.

Well done, my dear students! It turns out

that all of you are great readers. Now,
we are approaching to our next station
which is the fourth one! So, may I ask
what have you observed in the story?
The narrative has smooth flow of events
right? There is a sequence of events.
Yes, ma’am. There is a smooth transition
of the story from introducing the
characters to the ending where the shark

events that make up the story is called
“Plot”. Now, there are different parts of a
plot which we will be discussing.

First, we have the Exposition. May we

have someone to read it?
Exposition: The author introduces the
major characters and establishes the
So, what can you infer from that? setting.

Exposition is the part where we get to

know the characters of the story and the

the characters' backstory as well as
he/she describes the setting of the story.
Now, how about, Rising Action?

Rising Action: It is where the problem or

protagonist often encounters some sort
of crisis that creates tension. If the
problem is introduced here, what do you
think is Climax all about?

Climax: The climax is the crucial point in

the story wherein the protagonist deals
With that, what do you think is climax? with the peak of events.

It is the challenging part because the

character experiences and tries to solve

the protagonist's most difficult challenge
or bleakest moment. Now, how about
Falling Action?
 Falling Action: It occurs immediately after
the climax and details the consequences
-- good or bad -- that the characters must
deal with after the turning point of events.
What do you think does that signify?
This is where the story begins to transfer
the reader to the resolution or conclusion.
Very good. The results of actions that the
main character has taken are presented
as well as the results of decisions that
have been made, whether good or bad
for the character. And lastly, Resolution.
What do you think it is?
Resolution: The resolution leaves readers
with a sense of closure, so they
understand the fate of the protagonists
and antagonists.
So, technically, Resolution is?
Resolution is the ending of the story,
ma’am.
Alright. So, those are the Parts of a Plot.
Did you understand the topic, class?
Absolutely, ma’am.
Hold your horses, pirates! Before we
proceed to our next station, let’s refresh
your minds about the types of
Collocation that were discussed by your
teacher Princess and teacher Leigh.

1. Adverb+Adjective
The characters in the story are fully
aware that they disobeyed Uncle Sidro.
2. Adjective+Noun
The major problem of the story is the
existence of the shark.
3. Noun+Noun
There is a sense of pride among the
three brothers when they killed the

Now, we have arrived to our destination

which is the fourth station! Now I want
you to go to your previous groups and
answer the posted Story Map in-front.
For the first group I want you to answer
the exposition, for the second group is
the Rising Action and so on. In your
answer there must be at least one type
of Collocation. Do you understand class?

Yes, ma’am.

able to determine the parts of a Plot and
indicate the types of Collocation. The
winner may now claim their treasure
coins in front.

We are down to our last station wherein

we will be discussing the proper way of
giving short answers.

Instead of saying a merely ‘Yes’ or ‘No’,

it is more polite to say ‘Yes, I do’ or ‘No, I
don’t’ in conversation.
Now, to form the short answer, we must
only use the first word of the question.
In affirmative answers (yes), use the long Question Affirmative Negative
form (he does). In negative answers (no), Do we have a Yes, we No, we
use the short form (he doesn’t). class? do. don’t
Can she go to
the restaurant?
Have they seen
the movie?
Is he thirsty?

If ‘you’ is the subject of the question, Question AffirmativeNegative

‘you’ must be replaced by ‘I’ or ‘we’. Do you like the Yes, (we, No, (we,
presentation? I) do. I) don’t
Are you Yes, I am. No, I am
hungry? not.
Yes, we No, we
are. aren’t.
Do you want
pie?
Are you from
the Philippines?

Yes, ma’am!

Do you understand, class?

Great! Thank you for participating class, I

really appreciate every effort you gave.
Generalization
So, now that we are done discussing
The Parts of a Plot and giving Short
Answers, may I ask a volunteer to give a
quick rundown of everything we've
covered thus far?
(Students raise a hand)
Answer may vary.
What a mind! You are all learning fast.
Anyone who wants to share his/her
insight as well?
(One or two more sharers will be
 entertained)
Wow. That is another very
comprehensive answer. Now, how about
the literary text that we have read earlier;
what are the lessons that you have
acquired that you will cherish forever?
(Students raise a hand)
I have learned that being courageous is
also about devising a plan as to how will
one face a challenge instead of
complaining and accepting his/her fate.
Great job my pirates! So now is the time
for us to know who will be having the
privilege to open the treasure. So, the
winner is group ______ come here in-
front and open the treasure! So, what’s
inside?

Wow!

Okay class, now let’s all witness the real

treasure inside the treasure! Can you

Fears can cripple us if we keep on

accepting it. Thus, being courageous is
