pieces of papers.

Okay, you may now take your

seats.

3.) Checking of Attendance

May I ask from our class monitor who is absent for today? No one is absent for today sir.
That’s great! I’m glad to know that everyone is present this
morning.

So class, how was your We feel energized ma’am and ready for
morning? the whole day’s activity.

I’m glad that you feel that way especially that your first
subject this morning, which is English will be needing your
100% cooperation for us to be able to achieve our objectives
for
today.

4.) Drill

Before we begin with our lesson for today, we will

have first an activity. This activity is called “I’m broken,
please fix me up.” I will group you into three groups. For
your grouping, you count 1 to 3. All number one’s will be
called Team Luzon, all number two’s will be Team Visayas,
and all number three’s will be Team Mindanao. Your task is
to fix the jumbled cut out pictures inside the envelope into its
original form and paste it on the board. You have 1 minute to
complete the task. The first group to finish will be declared
winner and will receive a reward of additional points for our
upcoming quiz later.

Am I clear, class?

You start counting now from the right and after that
you go to your respective groupmates. All number ones will
group at the right, all number twos will group at the middle,
and all number threes will group at the left.

The teacher gives the envelope to each group.

You open the envelope simultaneously on my cue.

Are you ready, class?

You may start now!

What do you see on the picture?

That’s right! What do you think does the star in the

picture represent?

That’s a brilliant idea.

However, as I said earlier that the first group who

finished the activity correctly will be declared winner,
so, our winner for today is group number ---

Let’s give them a round of applause.

7. Setting of Standards
As we start our lesson for today, may I know what
should a good student do when the teacher is discussing here
in front?
 Yes, teacher!

Can I expect that from you? (Students count from 1 to 3 and then
Very well. proceed to their respective groups.)

8. Review
What was our topic last meeting?

Yes, we tackled about the Verbals. Can you share Yes, teacher!
anything you learned from that lesson?

Excellent!
B. Motivation

Now, we are going to learn a new topic but before that,

we will have another activity that will exercise your mind and
eyes. This activity is called “Look to find the word”. What
you are going to do is to arrange the rumbled letters given to
produce a single word. And the word that will appear will be
our topic. You can use scratch paper for you to answer. The
first one who can find the word will receive additional points
for our quiz later. I will give you 2 minutes to finish the
activity.

Are you ready class?

You can start now!

C. Lesson Proper

I have here a picture, class. And I want you to observe what’s

in the picture. Am I clear?

What have you noticed on the picture, class?

What do you think is the old man doing in the picture?

I know that you are all wondering why I show you that
picture. You will know the reason why, after you read the
poem that I am going to discuss later. But before that, let us
know the author first.
 William Butler Yeats

William
Butler Yeats (1865-1939) is the best known Irish poet in
modern times. A Protestant of Anglo-Irish descent, and was
born in Sandymount, Ireland. His early poetry was highly
lyrical and musical. He participated in the revolution that won
freedom for Ireland in 1921 then he became a minister in the
first Irish cabinet. In 1923, he won the Nobel Prize for
Literature.

Yes, teacher!

Who is the Irish poet again, class?

Where was William Butler Yeats born?

Okay, it seems that you are listening to our discussion, class.

Right now, let’s tackle one of William Butler Yeats Poem.
This poem is titled, “When You Are Old.”

1.) Reading of the Poem We see an old man, teacher.

The old man is sitting on a rocking chair,

Kindly read it all together, class. teacher.

“When You Are Old”

Okay, teacher!
By: William Butler Yeats
 When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep,

How many loved your moment of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrow of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

(if someone is not cooperating, let him read it aloud in solo)

2.) Comprehension Check-up William Butler Yeats, teacher.

What do you think the poem is all about, class? He was born in Sandymount, Ireland
teacher.

Alright. Base on the title itself, the poem is all about being
old.

While reading the poem, what emotion did you feel? Is it

happy or a sad one?
Ye, Matthew?

If you think that it is a sad one, can you cite some words or
phrases or images from the poem that evoke sadness/joy?
If you think that it is a happy one, can you cite some words or
phrases or images from the poem that evoke sadness/joy?

Very well, class!

Right now, does anyone from the class can point out Yeat`s
attitude toward old age. Comment on the melancholy air of
his poem “When You Are Old.” And what accounts for this
atmosphere?

Okay. So, let`s go on now to our next poem titled “The Lake
Isle of Innisfree”
Please read the poem all together in a slow and thoughtful
manner, class.

(a student is reading the poem for the

“The Lake Isle of Innisfree” class)

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; I think, the poem is all about being old,
teacher!
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I will have some peace there, for peace comes dropping
slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket I feel sadness, teacher.
sings;
There midnight`s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet`s wings. For sadness, the following
words/phrases/images are: gray, slowly,
false, sorrows, and hid; full of sleep,
I will arise and go now, for always night and day slowly read, shadows deep, a little sadly,
and Love fled. (Possible answer)
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, For happiness, the following
words/phrases/images are: dream, soft

What pictures are drawn for you in “The Lake Isle of
Innisfree”? What mood do such pictures suggest?

(Possible answer)
Yeat`s attitude to old age isn`t negative,
Which poem of A.E Housman`s suggests as the same subject?
but it also involves sadness/melancholy
for what once was and has been lost.

Does Yeats long only for an actual place?

What do you think he really longs for? Read the line that
indicates this.

D. Application

Right now, it seems like you are ready for another activity.
With the same group, I want you to brainstorm and relate
your real-life experiences from the following questions in the
Values: Life Connection, on your book on Page 208. And
(reading the poem)
after answering the task, you will select a representative to
present your work in front of the class. I will give you 15
minutes to accomplish the task. You may go now to your
respective group and your time to answer starts now.
Values: Life Connection

1.) Reminiscence of things past can give one happiness.

Memories of happy childhood, remembrance of the
excitement of teenage life---these are effective means
of relieving one`s worries. How can the memory of
past experiences help lighten the load of old age? At
this point of your life, what experiences in the past
might make you forget the problems of student life?
2.) The problems that accompany the growth of
materialism are great. In one`s efforts to rise above the
monotony of material life, one seeks refuge in the
peace of nature. What benefits can be derived from a
communion with nature? Where do you prefer to live-
in the busy streets of Metro Manila or on a hill where
you can view the beauty and grandeur of nature?
 Why? The pictures that drawn for me in the
