the story through context clues

selection

elements in the story
value the story through differentiated

C. Pre-Reading

a. Motivation

Before we will start everything, I want

everybody to stand and let us have a simple
Happy Feet Dance.

When we talk about Happy Feet Dance it is

about stepping your feet to the ground to
create a wonderful sound. (Students do the task.)

Thank you very much class! Hooray to all of

us.

Now class I have here a simple video clip.

Analyze well the video as I play it because
afterwards, I will be asking you some
questions.

Is it clear?

Yes Ma’am!

(The teacher plays the video clip.)

(Students watch the video clip.)

Are you familiar with the video?

Yes Ma’am!

Kindly tell something about the video?

It is about a search for different talents.

What is the title of that talent search?

It is PGT or Pilipinas Got Talent.

Class, do you believe that we are all blessed

with God-given talents?
Yes Ma’am!
Why do you say so?

I believe that God had given us talent because

He created everyone unique and we possess
different abilities and capabilities.

Excellent! Who can show me just a glimpse

of his/her talent?

(Students showcase a glimpse of their talent.)

Very good class! Let’s give a clap to all of

you!

Now, from the video clip, up to the questions

being raised are all connected to the story
which we are about to discuss this day. It’s a
beautiful story depicting about being
different, it is about how one used his talent to
help his fellow species. But he was judged by
his fellow species before he reached the peak
of success. Yes, today the subject of our story
is not people, but about a group of birds that
live in a wonderful land.

The teacher shows a picture of a penguin and

asks if they know something about penguins.

D. Presentation

a. Unlocking of Difficulties

For us to fully understand the story let us first

unlock the unfamiliar words present in the
story through context clues.

As you can see on the board, there are

penguins that are holding sentences and there
are underlined words that we will encounter
as we go through to the story.

Now class, I want you to find the meaning of

the underlined word in the opposite column
and place it after the sentence.

Is that clear class? Yes Ma’am!

 It was his habit to take a nap
after eating his lunch.

He gave me a stern look.

A new ocean liner claims to be

the largest vessel in the world.

She beckoned to the waiter to

come over.

Several species of birds inhabit

the island. Yes Ma’am!

The male penguin is the one

responsible for keeping the
egg safe until the baby
penguin is ready to hatch.

They thought they would never

see each other again, but fate
brought them back together.

The country was hit by a

plague of natural disasters
last year.

b. Meet the Author

But before we will start this story, let us know

first the background of the author who wrote
this beautiful story.

-Background of the Author-

 George Miller was born on March 3,
1945
He is a Greek/Australian film director,
screen writer, producer and former Yes Ma’am!

Miller is the creator of the Happy
Feet, a musical epic about the life of
penguins in Antartica.
Happy Feet has brought Miller his
third Academy Award nomination and
his first win in the category of Best
Animated Feature. (Students do the task.)

Class, always remember about Sir George

Miller okay?

c. Motive Question

Now class, we are almost ready to discuss the

story. But before we will proceed, I want you
to ponder on this question.

MOTIVE QUESTION:

world that you are unique? And Yes Ma’am.
how will you apply this uniqueness
to help other people?

criticizing other people around me.

Who is the main character of the

story? Kindly tell something about  Home is the smallest unit of the
him/her? society. As the old saying goes, “there

you are facing a kind of situation like
the character of Mumble in the story?

 I can say that I am special because I

have my family and friends who
supports me with the things that I do
and who are always there for me
during the ups and downs of my life.

communicate with the child who was
then viewing him in a cage?  It will be a great honor, knowing that I
am different with other people because
I know that I have skills that is also
other people can’t.

If you were Mumble, would you do

the same thing to find the main
conflict that affects your community?
Why?
 Yes! I am willing to fight for what is
right even though I know it will take
me apart with my family because I
know in the end, I will still reach the
peak of success because I know I am
fighting for what is right.
From the story, how do you define
uniqueness?

How can you say that you are special

and what are the things that you have  Being unique is a self-honor. It is
which makes you proud? something that would carry yourself to
others, it is something that would give
you the highest tittle that others don’t

to other people.

different with other people?  I will apply this uniqueness in helping
other people, I will use the talents that
God had given me, I will use this to
show other people that I am different

compassion.

(Students answer vary.)

to fight for what is right even though it
will take you away from your loved
ones?
