What topic did we discuss yesterday? Short story ma’am.

story is?

Yes Dane? A short story has a fully developed theme but

significantly shorter and less elaborate than a

Yes, Jade go ahead. I am inspired by Jose Rizal’s works because it

reflects the experiences of the Filipinos. I
came to learn a lot about our culture and
learned to treasure the freedom that we have
today.
Very good, Jade. I hope most of you here
are fond of reading as well.

Now, let us proceed to our lesson.

C. Lesson Proper
a. Activity
Recalling Essential Question
Workshop: "Literary Reflections"

The class will be divided into two.

Please count off 1 -2 (The class will count off 1-2)

Now, group yourselves according to your

number. Each group will be provided with
literary texts:

Group 1 – The Rainy Day by Henry

Wadsworth Longfellow
Group 2 – A Time to Talk by Robert Frost

You have to read the texts and analyze the

characters’ self-discovery journeys. Also, you
have to determine the writer’s techniques
and their purpose.

You have 10 minutes to work on your tasks

and afterwards a representative of each
group will present your work. Do you
understand the activity?

Okay, you may now start. (Each group will do their task)
b. Analysis
The teacher will lead a class discussion on the
various self-discovery themes and literary
techniques identified during the activity.
(Group 1 representative will present their

 “The Rainy Day" is a poem that focuses on
introspection and the speaker's inner journey.
The speaker, presumably Longfellow himself,
contemplates the gloomy and melancholic
aspects of life during a rainy day.
(Students will clap their hands)

Well done, group 1. You delivered the key (Group 2 representative will present their
points well. work)

Now we shall proceed with the second group. "A Time to Talk” focuses on the importance of
human connection and taking time for
friendly conversations.
Great job, group 2. You also determined the
key points of the poem. (Students will clap their hands)
c. Abstraction
For today, we will analyze literary works
based on basic elements. By doing so, we will
have a deeper understanding about the
literary work and its author.

Process Questions
In the activity that we did a while ago, have
you noticed a similarity between the two Yes, ma’am
poems?

What are those? The poems have elements

That’s right! There are certain writing

techniques that the authors used. Are you
thrilled to determine these techniques? Yes, ma’am!

First, who has any idea what writer’s

techniques are? And how are they significant
in creating literary pieces?

Yes, Kion? I think writer’s techniques are used by the

writers to ensure that their ideas are clearly
conveyed.

Thank you and good job, Kion.

Video Presentation
Okay class, we will now watch a short video
about the various techniques that are used by
writers. (A short video will be played)
Does anyone have takeaways after watching My takeaway from the video is that some
the video? Yes, Jenn? writers use more than one technique because
they want to be more creative in making their
poems or stories.

Correct! Thank you, Jenn.

Recalling Essential Question

Writers’ techniques are utilized by writers in
order to add personality into their works.
They also help make emotional connection
with the target audience. We can also call
them the elements of poetry.

Stanza is a unit of poetry consisting of two or

more lines arranged in a pattern according to
rhyme and meter or rhythm. Yes, ma’am. Tree and free,
Past and blast
Rhyme refers to the last words of the line
matching each other in some form.

Can you give me an example of rhyming

words, Ella?

Excellent! Thank you, Ella.

Another element of a poem is called meter. It

is a systematic arrangement of stressed and
unstressed syllables in poetry.

Now, to understand better, please read the

poem entitled “A Time to Talk” by Robert
Frost.

A Time to Talk (students will read the poem shown in the

When a friend calls to me from the road PowerPoint Presentation)
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don’t stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven’t hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.

In this poem, can you tell me how many lines

are there?

Very good! How about the stanza?

There are ten lines in the poem ma’am.

Great job, class! There is only one stanza in the poem ma’am.

What about the rhyme? Can anyone identify

the rhyming words in the poem?

Yes, James?

Road-hoed, walk-talk, around-ground and

Now let us identify more elements of a poem. wall-tall

We have the theme which is the most

important idea of a poem.

What do you think is the theme of Frost’s

poem?

Yes, Jane?

I think the theme of the poem is the value of

human connection and the importance of
taking time for meaningful conversations with
others.

Very good. The poem emphasizes the

significance of social interactions and the
value of genuine communication in our lives.

Next, there is a tone which refers to the level

and kind of “emotions” expressed which may
be anger, excitement, or sadness.

Can you tell me the tone of the poem, Anne?

Thank you, Anne. And that is correct. The

poet's use of simple language and I think the tone of the poem is soft and
straightforward imagery creates a peaceful meditative, ma’am.
and reflective atmosphere throughout the
poem.
Now, we also have the element called mood.
This is seen as the bigger picture of the poet’s
feelings which is produced as the poet
chooses the words to be included in the
poem. These are the “language choices” of
the poet.

Does anyone want to share an idea of what

the mood of the poem is?

Yes, Kristine?

That’s right! The poem's mood is one of

serenity and thoughtfulness, inviting readers
to slow down and appreciate the value of
social connections in a world often filled with
busyness and distractions.

Along with the other elements, writers or

poets also use figurative language. I think the mood of the tone is relaxed,
ma’am.
For now, we will only tackle about two
figurative languages called simile and
metaphor.

Does anyone have an idea what simile is?

None? Okay.

Simile is a figure of speech that uses the

words “like” or “as” in order to compare one
thing with another. Example: “My love is like
a pure and white sampaguita.”

Unlike the simile which obviously shows

comparison, metaphor is a figure of speech
which also compares two things but in an
implicit manner; that is, one thing replacing
another. Example: “My love is a pure and
white sampaguita”
(silence)
Do you have any questions so far class?

Great. I have here some more examples of

simile and metaphor. Class, kindly determine
if the example is simile or metaphor.
 He runs as fast as lightning. Is it simile or
metaphor?

Very good!

How about this: She is a shining star. Is it

simile or metaphor?

Correct! I’m so glad you understand the

difference between the two figures of speech
class.

Do you have questions or clarifications

regarding our topic for today class?
Okay, very good.

None so far, ma’am.

Simile!

Metaphor!

None, ma’am
