A. Motivation
There are a lot of things which we value most in this world like
friends, family, money, gadgets, jewelry and the like. Okay class,
before you have entered in this room you were gathered for some
important reminders.
And before we start, try to check yourselves, your things. I will give
you 10 seconds to check your things. Have you noticed something?
(Students answer vary)
Oh! It seems that youre looking for your things still. How does it
feel when you have noticed that something is missing?
(I feel furious and discouraged.)
What if you only borrowed that certain thing which you have lost?
What will you do?
(Students answer vary)
Okay class, that activity weve just done is connected to our
discussion. We have gotten some of your things a while back to see
your reactions that are quite familiar to the selection we will tackle
but we do not owe you to steal.
B. Unlocking of Difficulties

I have prepared three (3) illustrations of lady wearing an elegant

gown. In each ladys gown, there is a written sentence with
unfamiliar word. All you have to do is to find the meaning of the
words written also on a necklace.
I need braver students to guess and to find the meaning of the
underline words in the illustrations. Ok, any hands?

The following words are:

-high quality

hung with Oriental tapestry.

Evaluation (Group Activity)

Lets have some activity. I will group you into five (5).I would like
to check your group under your armchair, whatever color has
been placed in your armchair and that will be your group. Red
team as the first group, Yellow the second group, Blue team as
the third group, White is the fourth group and Green is the last
group. But before you proceed to your respective groups I would
like to request each one of you to place your armchair at the
side.
The first group will have to extract some important part of the
story and act it in the class or role playing. The second group will

have to make a slogan that best describes the meaning of the

story. Blue team will have to compose a jingle regarding the
story. The White team, think about something or someone that
best describes the main character in the story by putting it into
illustration or poster making. And the last group will have to
compose a poem regarding the story.
I will give you 15 mins to do that, is that clear class? Any
question?

proceed now to your presentations.
