The Story of the Different Characters


Teacher
They walked around on all fours, like wild animals, so their palms weren‟t exposed to the sun,
which made the rest of their bodies darker and darker.

Father Cristiano
It was like that because they always went about their hands folded together, praying in
secret.

Dona Dores
God made their hands like that so they wouldn‟t dirty the food that they made for their
masters, or anything else that they were ordered to do that had to be kept quite clean.

Senhor Antunes
Long ago, many years ago, God, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, St. Peter, many
other saints, all the angels were in heaven then, and some of the people who had died
and gone to Heaven- they all had a meeting
and decided to make blacks. They got hold of some clay and pressed it into some
second- hand moulds. And to bake them of the creatures, they took them to heavenly kilns.
Because they were in a hurry and there was no room next to the fire, they hung them in the
chimneys. Smoke, smoke, smoke- and there you have them, black as coals. Their hands
stayed white because their hands are tied.

Senhor Frias
God finished making men and told them to bathe in a lake in heaven. After bathing, the
people were nice and white. The blacks, well, they were made very early in the morning,
and at this hour the water in the lake was very cold, so they only wet the palms of their
hands and the soles of their feet before dressing and coming into the world.

Dona Estifania
It„s only because their hands became bleached with all that washing.

Mother
God made Blacks because they had to be. He thought they really had to be…Afterwards,
He regretted having made them because other men laughed at them and took them off to
their homes and put them to serve as slaves or not much better. But because He couldn‟t
make them all be white, for those who were used to seeing blacks would complain, He
made it so that the palms would exactly like the palms of other men.

Abstraction:
The learners will discuss the different strategies used in unlocking the unfamiliar words used
in the given activities.

Strategies in Unlocking Unfamiliar Words

UnScramble is a popular and fun game type. UnScramble is similar to other word
games that ask the player to find words in several letters that have been scrambled
up on a game board.

Context clues are hints that an author gives to help define a difficult or unusual word.
The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word to which it refers, or it
may follow in a preceding sentence.

Most people know how to use a dictionary to look up a word's meaning. Here are
some pointers on how to do this as a part of a vocabulary-building program:

Have your own dictionary: Keep it where you usually do your reading at home. You
are more likely to use it if you do not have to get it from another room. At work,
there may be a good dictionary available for your use. At home, most people do not
have a big, unabridged dictionary; however, one of the smaller collegiate dictionaries.
would be fine to start with.

Application/Assessment:

Unscramble the jumbled letters to form an appropriate word that will complete the
sentence.

1. In the past, knowledge was often passed down from one generation to another
by word of .(omuht)
2. If you are tied to your mother‟s apron strings, it means that you are being
and influenced by her. ( o o c d e r t l l n )
3. Children should be taught life so that they will be able to earn a
living in the future. ( i s l l s k )
4. In Japan, certain days have been for children to show how
important they are to the adults. ( t s e a e i d s )
5. All children have the right to _ . They should learn how to read
and write. ( I o n c h s o l g )

MUDDY
ROAD
A Zen Story
Tanzan and Ekido were once traveling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was
still falling.
Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross
the intersection.
“ Come on girl,” said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms , he carried her over the
mud.
Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he
no longer could restrain himself, “We monks don’t go near females,” he told Tanzan, “especially
not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?”
“I left the girl there,” said Tanzan. “Are you still carrying her?”

Activities:
Discussion of the lesson

TRANSITIONAL WORDS AND PHRASES SHOWING RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN AND


BETWEEN SENTENCES

Transitional words and phrases connect and relate ideas, sentences, and
paragraphs. They assist in the logical flow of ideas as they signal the relationship
between sentences and paragraphs. In prose, the material is supported and
conditioned not only by the ordering of the material (its position) but by connectives
which signal order, relationship and movement.

Some of the more commonly used connectives are listed below. Note especially
how these connections function to develop, relate, connect and move ideas.

Additionally, pronouns act as connectives when they are used to refer to a


noun in the preceding sentences. Repetition of key words and phrases and the use of
synonyms which echo important words both serve to establish connections with
previous sentences.

Introduction:

Describe the pictures. What is common among them?

1. Parallel lines on the road


2. Parallel rails of a train
3. Line AB is parallel to Line DC/ Line AD is parallel to Line BC

In grammar, parallelism, also known as parallel structure or parallel


construction, is a balance within one or more sentences of similar phrases or clauses
that have the same grammatical structure. The application of parallelism improves writing
style and readability, and is thought to make sentences easier to process.

Preliminary Activity:

Analyze the sentences and discuss how they become non- parallel and parallel clauses.

Activities:
Task 1: Board Activity
Direction: Rewrite the sentences to show parallel structure.
1. Nancy likes playing the piano, the trumpet and play the guitar.
2. She played basketball, had a shower and gone to school.
3. You can apply to the job by filling this form or apply by telephone.

prepositional phrases, participles with participles, infinitives with infinitives, clauses
with clauses.
2. Parallelism is used with elements joined by coordinating conjunctions.

My mother likes cooking and to read.

My mother likes cooking and reading


3. Parallelism is used with elements in lists or in a series.

This task can be done individually, in pairs, or can be done in groups of four.

Abstraction:
Based from the activities given to them, the learners will give the definition of parallelism and
its importance in giving information.

Definition of Parallelism

 The balance between two or more similar words, phrases or clauses is


called parallelism in grammar. Parallelism is also called parallel structure
or parallel construction. Parallel construction prevents awkwardness,
promotes clarity and improves writing style and readability.

 In grammar, parallelism, also known as parallel structure or parallel


construction, is a balance within one or more sentences of similar phrases
or clauses that have the same grammatical structure. The application of
parallelism improves writing style and readability, and is thought to make
sentences easier to process.

Abstraction:

Volume is the perceived loudness of the speaker. Loudness is what the audience actually
perceives and it correlates with the physical strength (amplitude).

Voice projection is the strength of speaking or singing whereby the voice is used loudly
and clearly. It is a technique employed to command respect and attention, as when a teacher talks
to a class, or simply to be heard clearly, as used by an actor in a theatre.

We are an emerging division where excellence is a habit and allegiance for quality is a pledge.
Pitch, in speech, the relative highness or lowness of a tone as perceived by the ear, which
depends on the number of vibrations per second produced by the vocal cords. Pitch is the main acoustic
correlate of tone and intonation.

Stress is the relative emphasis that may be given to certain syllables in a word, or
to certain words in a phrase or sentence. Stress is typically signaled by such properties as
increased loudness and vowel length, full articulation of the vowel, and changes in pitch.

Intonation, in phonetics, the melodic pattern of an utterance. Intonation is primarily a matter


of variation in the pitch level of the voice (see also tone), but in such languages as English, stress and
rhythm are also involved. Intonation conveys differences of expressive meaning (e.g., surprise, anger,
wariness).

Juncture is a pause in speech or a feature of pronunciation that introduces,


accompanies, or replaces a pause. the set of phonological features signalling a division
between words, such as those that distinguish a name from an aim.

Application/Assessment

A - Encircle the stressed syllable of the underlined word in each sentence.

Introduction:

English idiom or idiomatic expressions are Greek in origin. The word idiom means
―a private citizen, something belonging to a private citizen, personal, and, by extension,
something individual and peculiar. Idiomatic Expressions, then, conform to no laws or
principles describing their formation. They may also violate grammar or logic or both and
still be acceptable because the phrase is familiar, deep-rooted, widely used, and easily
understandable- for the native born.

4. They had a dispute yesterday. That‗s why she gave him a shoulder.
5. I had to face the all by myself, although I was not the only responsible for the

meaning. After giving the correct meaning, use them in the sentences.
1. Bata makes hay while the sun shines.
2. The wife of Anpu was beaten black and blue.
3. Knowing the wife„s dishonesty, blood pours into his face.

8. She bent her knees for forgiveness.
9. Anpu„s wife accepted the dose of her own medicine.
10. Bata kept company with god- Ra to seek consolation.
11. Anpu took the law into his hands.

Analysis:

The learners will give the meaning of the idiomatic expressions used in the given sentences.

Abstraction:

The learners will discuss the origin of idiomatic expressions and understand why we use
them in our language.

English idiom or idiomatic expressions are Greek in origin. The word


idiom means ―a private citizen, something belonging to a private citizen,
personal, and, by extension, something individual and peculiar. Idiomatic
Expressions, then, conform to no laws or principles describing their formation. They
may also violate grammar or logic or both and still be acceptable because the
phrase is familiar, deep-rooted, widely used, and easily understandable- for the
native born.

Why are idioms important for English language learners?

 They are so pervasive throughout the English language that to ignore


them is to miss out on a large percentage of the phrasal interpretations
and nuances.

 Idioms cause your mind to shift from the reality of your situation to the
abstract thought of the analogy or concept they reference. They keep your
mind stimulated and focused. They provide an outlet for expressive
communication and a way for different people to say the same thing but with
different circumstantial allusions.

Application:
 The learners will be grouped into three and will use at least five of the given idiomatic
expressions in making a dialog.
 Each group will present their work in front of their classmates.

Task 3: Look at this text and then answer the next ten questions:

PHOBIAS

What is a phobia?
A phobia is an intense fear or feeling of anxiety that occurs only in a particular situation that
frightens you.
This might be something as seemingly logical as a fear of heights, or as illogical as a fear of the
color green. At other times you don‟t feel anxious. For example, if you have a phobia of spiders (as
millions of people do), you only feel anxious when there‟s a spider around, otherwise you feel fine.
About one in ten people has a significant phobia, although few people seek treatment.

People develop phobias to all sorts of things. Each phobia has its own name.
Some (of a very long list) include:

 Musophobia – fear of mice


 Peladophobia – fear of bald people
 Amathophobia – fear of dust
 Pnigophobia – fear of choking or smothering
 Maieusiophobia – fear of childbirth
 Homichlophobia – fear of fog
 Arachibutyrophobia – fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth

We are an emerging division where excellence is a habit and allegiance for quality is a pledge.
Phobias make people avoid situations they know will make them anxious, but this can make
the phobia worse. A person‟s life can become increasingly dominated by the precautions they
take to avoid a situation they fear. You may know there‟s no real danger and you may feel
embarrassed by your fear, but you‟re still unable to control it. It‟s better to confront your fears,
even if it‟s in a very careful way or with the help of a trained therapist.
A phobia is more likely to go away if it began after a distressing or traumatic event.

What’s the treatment?


Cognitive behavioural therapy – a „talking treatment‟ where you learn all about the thing or
situation you are scared of and how to change your behaviour – has a high success rate in
phobias. Your GP can refer you.

1. The purpose of the text is to ...


A) give information about phobias
B) give instructions for people with phobias

III. LEARNING TASKS

Introduction:

Tell something about the pictures below. What is common among the four pictures?

ANSWER: Connection/ Cohesive

 Cohesive devices are useful English language conjunctions, transitional phrases,


synonyms and pronouns that express ideas in a cohesive manner. They are used to join
sentences together to make ideas more understandable to the reader.
 Among the eight parts of speech, conjunction has the same idea about the pictures
given
 A conjunction is the glue that holds words, phrases and clauses (both dependent and
independent) together. There are three different kinds of conjunctions–– coordinating,
subordinating, and correlative––each serving its own, distinct purpose, but all working to
bring words together.

Preliminary Activity:

The learners will listen to the music about conjunction entitled “ Conjunction Fireworks” (
can be downloaded on youtube).

OUTLINING

An outline is a general plan of what you are going to write. It is a method for taking
notes that shows the relationships between main ideas and other ideas that support
the main idea.

Two Kinds of Outline

1. Topic Outline- the points are stated as sentences.

2. Sentence Outline- the points are stated as words or phrase.

In making an outline, observe the following instructions on format:

1. Use roman numerals for main ideas.

2. Use capital letters for subheadings.

3. Use arabic numerals for supporting details.

4. Place a period after the numerals and letters that introduce the points.

5. Begin every point in an outline with a capital letter.

6. Do not put periods after the points if the outline is topical.

7. Indent each level of the outline.

8. If there is an A, there must also be a B. If there is a 1, there must also be a 2.

9. In a topical outline, state the points of each division in parallel form.

Task 1: Outline it!

Abstraction:

How do you prepare a reading outline?

Keep these points in mind:

1. Read the material and determine its purpose and structure.


2. Pick out the writer„s thesis statement or controlling principle; if it is not explicitly stated, express it in
your own words.
3. Look for the major divisions and label each with a Roman numeral.
4. Divide each major division into subdivisions.
5. Check whether the divisions and subdivisions relate to the thesis statement or the purpose of
the writer.
6. Compare your outline with the original material to check against any misinterpretation or
distortion of the content and structure of the original.

Remember that there are two kinds of outline: the topic outline, in which the
entries are given in words or phrases, and the sentence outline, in which the entries are
complete sentences.
