1. Preliminary task

Hit the Hints

Wonderful! Now, Ill give you worksheets
for todays activities. Please focus on
Worksheet A. Ill show three groups of
images of characters from certain stories.
Write all the strengths or powers you know
they possess in their respective columns on
Worksheet A. Understood?

Teacher flashes pictures of characters from
Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and The Hobbit
and The Lord of the Rings.

Okay, now, I want everyone to put on the
fourth column all traits, strengths, or
powers that is common to all characters in
all three groups. Then, answer the three
guide questions below. Ill give you five
minutes.

Time is up. Lets see what youve got.
_________, can you share to class the name of
your favorite character? And why?

Wonderful! And just a follow-up question.
Do you have what it takes to be like him?
And why do you say so?


Excellent! And how about you, ________?
Who among the characters do you like
most?

And do you have what it takes to be just
like her?


Very well said! I believe so, too. Now, Based
on their characteristics and intentions,
what name could be associated with them?

2. Middle Task

Say That Again

Very good! All of them can be called heroes
because of their strengths and traits. And
speaking of a hero, our next activity would
revolve on the song, Hero by Mariah
Carey. Is everyone familiar with the song?







Yes, Sir.


















Prof. Albus Dumbledore because he is wise
and intelligent and he helped Harry to
become a skilled wizard.

Of course. If I study harder than I am
studying right now, I know that I will be
learning a lot of things. Thus, making me
smarter and wiser.

Katniss Everdeen. Because she is a strong-
willed girl who stands up to what she
believes in life.

Oh, yes. As a matter of fact, I consider myself
to be herstrong-willed and a girl with
strong principles.

Hero.







Yes/No.







Okay. This is what well do. Well listen to
the song twice. By that time, you should get
two to four lines from the song and write it
on the column provided on page 31. And
write in your own words the meaning of
those lines for you? Understood?

Very good. Okay, let us begin.

Teacher plays the audio-recording.

Ill give you three minutes to finish your
work.

Times up. _________, can you read the lines
you got from the song?

Nice lyric selection. And what does that
mean to you?



Excellent interpretation! How about you,
__________? Can you share to us the lines you
chose?

Great. And those lines, for you, would mean
that?


Nice choice of words. Now, what we just
did is called paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is
the expressing of the same message with
different words. Or, can everyone read the
paragraph on paraphrasing on page 31?





Yes. It is important to paraphrase for us to
avoid plagiarizing other peoples work.
That is why, when we do our assignments
and we search in the internet, we should
not do the copy-paste method because that
is against the law. What, instead, should we
do?

Attach Those Words

Great. I trust youll do that next time you
research for something, okay? Now, I will
share something new to all of you. Can
everybody please read the following
sentences?

Yes, Sir.








Students listen to the audio-recording twice.




Heres a hero if you look inside your heart.
You dont have to be afraid of what you are.

It means that if we look closely on ourselves,
we will realize that there is really nothing to
be afraid of and we should even be proud of
ourselves.

Its a long road if you face the world alone.
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.


Life would be very hard for you if you live by
yourself. One should try to be more open for
people to reach out to him.

Rewriting lines from songs, poems, stories,
and other articles is one way of
paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is often defined
as putting into your own words texts that
are originally from the author. It will make
us own our ideas as inspired by other
peoples work and will keep us from
plagiarizing others works.


We paraphrase.









My father, the captain of the ship, crosses
the swan road every time they went to
America.
Its benches rattled, fell to the floor, gold-
covered boards grating as Grendel and
Beowulf battled across them.

Class, the underlined words in the
sentences are what we call as kennings.
Now, who can read the definition of a
kenning?

Very good. You see, a kenning is a
metaphorical term. It is a type of figure of
speech. And you dont give meaning to
them literally but figuratively.

In this case, the swan road here, could refer
to?

Very good! And this gold-shining board
could mean?

3. Culminating Task

Fantastic! Now, please focus on your
Worksheet B. Match the kennings in
Column A to their appropriate sentences in
Column B by getting clues from the
pictures attached to it and from the context
of the sentences. Write your answer on the
space before each number. Is it clear?

Ill give you ten minutes to work on that.
Time starts now.

Times up. Please pass all the worksheets
forward. Are there any questions?

Fantastic. Then, Ill see you tomorrow.
Goodbye, class!

A kenning is a conventional metaphoric
name for something, used especially in Old
English and Old Norse poetry.







The sea.


Floorboards.


Yes, Sir.

Students work on the worksheet.
