B. MOTIVATION

Since you do not have any questions

have an activity before moving on with
a new discussion.

To make the activity easier, the class

will be grouped into 4 groups. Each
group must have a group name.

Once the class are already in their

respective groups, there are questions
to be answered after watching a video.

So, I want you to watch and listen

attentively to the video that I’ll be
playing.

(Teacher will play the video)

"PITAKA" ("The Wallet")

Questions will be revealed from a

mystery box. Each question that are
answered correctly will be given 50
points.

To unlock the box, a member of per

group will serve as a representative to
pick the paper. Whoever picked the
brown paper will be the group to unlock
the box. However, there are choices.
“Deal” - if you want to answer the
question correctly. If the answer is
incorrect, no points will be given.

“No deal” – if you want to skip the

question and pass it to the other group.
Yes, Ma’am!
Note that if ever you already have
points, the NO DEAL choice will
automatically pass your current points
to the next group.

Did you understand?

Exactly! So, for today, we will be going

story.

Before we proceed to our next activity,

lesson?

Arguilla

This will be an individual activity. You

will only be given 15 minutes to read.

So, your timer starts now.

E. ANALYSIS

While doing the activity, what does the

story portrays relating to culture? The story is notable for its portrayal
between urban and rural culture, as
well as its themes of tradition, family,
and adaptation.

Precisely! There is a difference

between the said cultures, the urban
and rural, probably can be seen in their
tradition, family, and even adaptation They are now standing on equal

Urban culture tends to be more fast-

paced, cosmopolitan, and diverse, with
access to modern amenities and
technology. While, rural culture is often
more rooted in traditional values and
community ties, with a slower pace of
life and a greater emphasis on
agriculture and natural resources.
Yes, Ma’am!
Despite the difference, would you
believe that there’s a change that
happened?
Here is also a growing trend towards
urbanization, with more and more

higher standard of living. As a result,
there is increasing cultural exchange
between rural and urban areas, with
rural areas adopting some aspects of
urban culture and vice versa.

Very good. So, with all these

realizations from the activities that we
did, it is clear now that we can be
adaptive in literature.
F. ABSTRACTION

Based on the activity and short

discussions, it is just to say that today
we will be studying the elements of the
story.

Are you now ready to further your

understanding about the elements of Yes, Ma’am!

Correct! You can tell a story about

anything, and the events described can
be real or imaginary; covering both
fiction and nonfiction; and leaving no
topic, genre, or style untouched.
The elements of a story are

Exactly! Those are the elements of a

story. As of now, we will be discussing
about the character, setting, theme,
and point of view.
A character in a short story is a
When we say character, what is all person, in some stories an animal,
about it? who takes part in the action of the
story or other literary work

Definitely! The way an author develops

the character in a story is very
important in making the story appeal to
the readers. It is said that the heart of
the story are the characters. The two
most important characters in a short
story are the protagonist and the
antagonist. The protagonist is considered as the
main character or most important of

protagonist.

setting. Anyone from the class who can
give their idea about setting?

Very good! The setting may be based

on real place and real time or it may
also be based on the author’s
imagination. When analyzing the
setting of the story, consider where the
action is taking place. Most authors
use descriptive words to describe the
landscape, scenery, buildings, season, Theme is considered as the author’s

setting which will help the reader
visualize the story and connect to the
story’s plot.

How about the theme? This is the way the story is told or
narrated.
Absolutely! This is the central idea in a
short story and a general truth.
A story will never be good enough
without a point of view. What is all
about point of view?

It is also known as the vantage point

that a writer uses to narrate the story.
The following are the types of point of
view in a short story:
a. First Person – the narrator
participates in and tells the story
using the pronoun ‘I’.
b. Limited Third Person – the
narrator is not in the story and
narrates using the pronouns
‘she’ or ‘he’. Also, the narrator is
unable to see into the minds of
the characters. Yes, ma’am!
c. Omniscient Third Person –
the narrator is not in the story
and tells the story using the
pronouns ‘she’ or ‘he’. In this None, ma’am!
point of view, the narrator can
tell the thoughts of the
characters as he can see into
their minds.

Did you understand class?

Do you have any question points of

clarification?
G. APPLICATION

Okay. So, since there’s no more

questions, we will now move on for our
next activity. This activity will be a
group activity again.

Based on our previous activity which is

reading the story “How my brother
Leon brought home a wife”, each
group will criticize by using the
formalist approach by considering the
following questions:

1. Where did the story happen?

2. Who were the characters in the
story?
