III. Lesson Proper

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Routinary Activities

Everybody stand up and let us pray.

Anyone who wants to lead the prayer? Heavenly father…
Good morning Class! Good morning Ms. Quinto!
Is there any absent today? None ma’am.
Wow! That’s good! Everybody will be part of another
exciting day of learning. Is everybody ready to think, have
fun and learn? Yes ma’am.

B. Activity

Okay class, before we proceed to our lesson, we will play a

game called “Pass the message!”

For your groupings, I want you to count from one to five and
you will belong to the group number assigned to you.

Choose one representative who will be the first one to receive

the statement from me.

Mechanics:
I will tell a phrase and you will pass it backwards. The last
person will be the one who will tell me the exact word that I
have said.
Are we clear?
Yes ma’am.
Okay, let us begin.

Group 1: “I am definitely fine”

Group 2: “Forever do exist”
Group 3: “Things happen for a reason”
Group 4: “Positivity is beauty”
Group 5: “Be who you wanted to be”

I will give you 3 minutes to pass the message and then the
speaker will proceed here in front to tell me the exact line.
Are we clear?
Yes ma’am.
(after 3 minutes)
Group 1:
Ma’am said, “I am definitely fine.”
Group 2:
Ma’am said that forever do exist.
Group 3:
Ma’am said, “Things happen for a reason”
Group 4:
Ma’am said that positivity is beauty.
Group 5:
C. Analysis Ma’am said, “Be who you wanted to be”

So class, what have you observed with these statements?

Very good! The first, third and last statements are quoted while the others
So now, we are going to tackle about Direct and Indirect uses the word “that”.
speech.

Everybody read the statement.

“The shaking was so strong I could hardly stand,” coast guard

The statement is from Inquirer News with regards of the personnel Rayner Neil Elopre told The Associated Press by
earthquake in Surigao as of February 11, 2017, 1:33 p.m. telephone.

Analyze the statement.

So what form of speech is this one?
Is it Direct or Indirect?

How can you say that?

Prove your answer. Ma’am, the statement is in direct form of speech.

It is a direct speech because it is quoted and those were the

Very good! exact words of the coast guard personnel.

So class, let us first define Direct speech.

Okay, from your observation, how can we define now a

Direct speech?
Direct speech gives the exact words of the speaker.
Very good!

Please read the definition.

Yes, ______. Direct speech is usually placed inside quotation marks and
accompanied by a reporting verb.
In Direct speech, what a person says appears within quotation
marks and should be word for word.

Have you seen it in the example?

Yes ma’am.
Now, let’s have this example.
Everybody read.

Police officer Jimmy Sarael said that he, his wife, and their
children embraced each other until the shaking eased.

Okay, what have you observed now?

Ma’am I have observed that the statement doesn’t use
Very good! quotations.
What do we call that form of speech?
Ma’am it is called indirect speech.
Very good!

In Indirect speech, we don’t use quotation marks to enclose

what the person said and it doesn’t have to be word for word.

There are rules when changing the tense of the verb when
converting a direct speech into indirect speech.

Direct speech: Present simple

She said, “It is cold.”

Try to convert it class. Indirect speech: Past simple

She said it was cold.
(the teacher will convert it through paper strips)

Direct speech: Present continuous

She said, “I’m teaching English online.”

(the student will be the one to convert it in front) Indirect speech: Past continuous
She said she was teaching English online.
Direct speech: Present perfect simple
She said, “I’ve been on the web since 1999.”

Direct speech: Present perfect continuous Indirect speech: Past perfect simple
She said, “I’ve been teaching English for seven years.” She said she had been on the web since 1999.

Direct speech: Past simple Indirect speech: Past perfect continuous

She said, “I taught online yesterday.” She said she had been teaching English for seven years.

Indirect speech: Past perfect

She said she had taught online yesterday.

Try to convert a direct speech into indirect speech.

Direct speech: Past perfect

She said, “The lesson had already started when he arrived.”

Direct speech: Past perfect continuous

She said, “I had already been teaching for five minutes.”
Modal verb forms also sometimes change:
Direct speech: will
She said, “I’ll teach English online tomorrow.”
Indirect speech: Past perfect
NO CHANGE – She said the lesson had already started when
he arrived.
Indirect speech: Past perfect continuous
NO CHANGE – She said she had already been teaching for
five minutes.

Try to convert the following:

Direct speech: can Indirect speech: would

She said, “I can teach English online.” She said she would teach English online tomorrow.

Direct speech: must

She said, “I must have a computer to teach English online.”
Indirect speech: could
Convert the following into Direct speech. She said she could teach English online.

Indirect speech: should Indirect speech: had to

She asked what we should learn today. She said she had to have a computer to teach English online.

Indirect speech: might

She asked if she might open a new browser.
Direct speech: shall
Note: There is no change to: could, would, should, might and She said, “What shall we learn today?”
ought to.
Direct speech: may
Direct speech She said, “May I open a new browser?”
“I might go to the cinema”, he said.

Are we clear with Direct and Indirect speech?

Indirect speech
Is there any question? He said he might go to the cinema.

Very good class!

Yes ma’am.

D. Application None ma’am.

Now, let us proceed to your activity.

I will group you into 2 groups.

This side will be the group 1 and the other side will be the
group 2.

Group 1 will read the speech in front and the Group 2 will
serve as the audience. Later, you will exchange roles.
Role of Media in the Society
Are we clear? by Amarendra Kishore

Groups 1 please proceed in front.
Today television channels and newspapers are making fast
money by cashing on the news in wrong sense and wrong
way. In the race to become more popular and to make money
they have broken all the limits media must follow while
serving to build a healthy and progressive society. They have
no respect for the sentiments and ethics of the people and
land whom they serve to, with their immense power to
influence the masses they just make judgment like a true
dictator rather than a good advice of a true friend as they
previously used to do. If it will be going in the future then we
people have to think about the role of media in our life.

Okay, very good!

(group 2 will read the speech)
Group 2, it’s your turn.

Okay class, we often give information about what people say

or think.
To do this, we either use direct or indirect speech.

Now I want you to get ½ crosswise. Write about the author’s

thoughts about the role of media in the society.

I will give you 10 minutes to do that.

Are we clear?
Yes ma’am.
(After 10 minutes)

You have written about Armendra’s thoughts about the role

of social media.

So now, how would you say your own ideas about social
media? For me, Social media has definitely made us closer to other
parts of the world.
Very good!

What else?
Social media gives us the latest information about what’s
Very good! happening in the world.
 E. Abstraction

So now, again, what is a direct speech?

Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. It
Very good! uses quotation marks.

How about the indirect speech?

It is used to talk about the past so we normally change the
Very good! tense of the words spoken.
