A. Routine Activities

Good Morning Class! Good Morning ma’am!

Please keep silent in one minute (students will pray)

and say your personal prayers.

B. Motivation

Okay class before we proceed to

our lesson, we will play a game
called “Pass the message!”

Your groupings will depend on what

line you are in.
The first line will be the Group 1,
second line will be the Group 2 and
the rest will follow.
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 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.

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. Police officer Jimmy Sarael said that he,

What do we call that form of

speech? Ma’am it is called indirect speech.
Yes, _____.

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 verb when converting a
direct speech into indirect speech.

Direct speech: Present simple

She said, "It is cold."
Indirect speech: Past simple
Try to convert it class. She said it was cold.

(the teacher will convert it through

Role of Media in the Society
Are we clear? by Amarendra Kishore

Group 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
Okay, Very Good! of media in our life.

(Group 2 will read the speech)
