III. Procedure
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Preliminary Activities 1. Prayer
Good morning, class! - Good morning, ma’am.
Before we start our lesson, let us pray first.
Student No. 1, can you lead the prayer? - Student No. 1 will lead the prayer.
How are you today? - We’re good, ma’am.
That’s great!
2. Checking of Classroom Settings
Before you take your sit, make sure that your
chairs are arranged properly and that there is no (The students will follow.) dirt underneath them.
3. Checking of Attendance
1 Class beadle, how many of you are absent (The class beadle will respond.) today?
Okay, just give me the lists of absentees later.
Thank you so much.
4. Recapitulation
What is our previous lesson? (The students will raise their hands.) - Student No. 2: “Last meeting, we were introduced to prose. Prose comes from the word “prosa” which means straightforward. This is a form of writing that follows the natural flow of speech and is in a narrative form. Some of the examples of this are short stories, novels, biography, autobiography, fables, myths etc.”
All right. Very well said! It seems that everyone
already gained an understanding of our previous lesson.
5. Motivation:
Before we dive into our next topic. Let us first have
an exciting Ice Breaker.
This game is called “Poetry Riddles”.
This is easy. You will be divided into two groups.
You are Group 1, and you will be Group 2. (The students will listen attentively.)
All you have to do is that you have to answer the
riddles that I will be reading later. But the catch is that the riddles are written in the form of poetry. You will have to stand up first before answering and whoever gets the highest point will win.
Is it clear? - Yes, Ma’am.
Okay! Group 1 and Group 2. Ready na, Ready na, - Everyone: “Aba siyempre po!” Ready na?
(The students will play.)
RIDDLE #1: I drink the blood of the Earth, And the trees fear my roar, Yet a man may hold me in his hands.
Yes, Student No. 3? - Student No. 3: “Correct me if I am wrong,
Ma’am. Chainsaw po?”
2 Wow, that is correct. Group __, you got the point.
RIDDLE #2: Three eyes have I, all in a row, When the red one opens, all freeze.
And the answer is? - Student No. 4: “Three eyes. I think, it’s a traffic light, ma’am.”
Group __, got the point. Very good!
RIDDLE #3: It is bright green, It lives by the pond, It rhymes with fog, Hop, hop, hop.
Yes, Student No. 5? - Student No. 5: “A frog.”
Your answer is frog. Let’s see if it is correct.
Congratulations, you got a point.
RIDDLE #4: Screaming, soaring, seeking sky, Flowers of fire, flying high, Eastern heart, from ancient time, Name me now and solve this rhyme.
What’s your answer? - Student No. 6: “Perhaps, a rainbow,
Ma’am.” Wow, that is correct.
RIDDLE #5: In the morning, I rise, With golden beams that mesmerize, What am I, in the skies?
Yes? - Student No. 7: “A sun.”
Congratulations, Group ___! Good Job, Everyone!
6. Presentation of the topic:
(The topic will be shown on the board.)
7. Presentation of the objectives
(The objectives will be seen on the board through a visual aid.) (The students will read the objectives.)
B. Developmental Activities A. Activity:
Now, to activate your prior knowledge. Let’s play
another game. (The students will listen.)
3 This game is called “May Entry Ako”.
You will be grouped into four. You will create a two
(2) stanza poem about the topic or word that will be assigned to you. But, to make this more exciting, each group must choose one representative to spin this wheel which contains a picture of an object, place, and person (Projector, CBSUA, Sir Japhet, Classmates). This wheel will determine what topic will be assigned to you.
Representatives come here in front. Spin the Wheel. (Representatives will spin the wheel.)
Okay, since you have your topic now. You will be
given 3 minutes to do this activity and after that, you have to choose the best presenter in your group to showcase your poem.
(After 3 minutes.) (Each team will present their work.)
Wow, excellent performances. I can really see your
creativity. With that, give yourselves the “Matibayon Ka!” clap.
(The teacher will teach the clap.) (The students will do the clap.)
B. Analysis:
With the activity given earlier, I can see that you
already have an idea about our lesson.
Today, we will be digging more into the concept of
Poetry. We will also talk about the different types of poetry as well as try to reflect on the importance it plays in our lives.
So, are you ready to explore? (The students will respond actively.)
C. Abstraction:
Let me start our discussion by asking you about
poetry.
In your own words, how will you define a poetry? - Student No. 8 will give his/her idea about poetry. Bravo for that. Thank you so much.
Who loves to write a poetry here? Can you raise (The students will raise their hands.) your hands?
Okay, I know you are very much aware of what
poetry is.
4 “Poetry is defined as a type of literature or artistic writing that tries to appeal to the reader’s emotions and imagination through a variety of different poetic techniques.”
This uses figurative languages that enhances the
richness of a poem. Through that, writers are able to express their emotions and imaginations more (The students will listen carefully.) creatively. Anything can also be a subject or theme of your poetry, it can be about love, nature, family, school, dream, death and a lot more.
There are also five defining characteristics of a
poem which are meter, rhyme, form, sound and rhythm/timing.
A poem is presented in a metrical structure, it has
rhymes, in the form of stanzas and lines, and has its rhythm and sound which is employed to create a piece of writing that stirs the reader feelings.
Let us now jump to the types of poetry. First, we
have Blank Verse.
Do you have any idea about Blank Verse? Yes, (The students will raise their hands.) Student No. 9. - Student No. 9: “I believe, Blank Verse is unrhymed but is in metered lines.” Bravo for that.
Blank Verse is poetry that is written with a precise
metre, such as iambic pentameter, and doesn’t rhyme. When we say iambic pentameter it consists of 10 syllables per line.
Research also shows that Shakespeare was a big
fan of this form and used it in lots of his plays and (The students will listen.) sonnets!
(The teacher will show an example of Blank Verse)
This is an example of a Blank Verse, as you can
see, it is written in iambic lines that do not use end rhyme.
Next, if rhymes are not used in Blank Verse, the next
type of poem, rhymes is very necessary.
Rhymed Poetry is poems that follow a rhyme
scheme. This scheme can vary from poem to poem, (The students will listen carefully.) but one of the most common rhyme schemes to follow is rhyming couplets.
5 An example of rhyming couplet is “Double, double, toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble.”
Who loves to use rhymed poetry? What do you think (Student No. 10 will give an advantage of is the advantages of using rhymes in your poems? using rhymes in poetry.)
Excellent. Rhymes may be predictable but it is
pleasurable. It tends to give a lasting effect to the audiences. This makes a poem in musical and guarantees cohesion.
Next, we have Free Verse. Free verse is similar to
blank verse, as they do not require a rhyme. However, free verse has no metre at all, unlike blank verse which follows a meter. Thus, this is a type of poem that doesn’t have a consistent rhyme scheme, rhythm, or musical form.
Who can give me an example of free verse? (Student No. 11 will give an example of free verse.) Thank you for that. Very good!
For the fourth one, we have Haiku. This originated
from Japan. It is a three-line poem that has five syllables in the first and last line, and seven syllables in the middle line. Thus, having a 5-7-5 structure. The subject of Haiku is often about nature.
An example is:
“Coolness fills the air,
Scarves and sweaters everywhere, Fall weather is here.”
If you were to write a Haiku, describing the weather (Student No. 12 will create a Haiku about the right now. How will you do that, Student No. 12. Scorching Heat.)
That was amazing. Thank you.
Next, we have an Ode. Out of the types of poems,
Ode is one of the oldest. It is a lyrical poem, originating in Ancient Greece. They're typically short and don't rhyme. They tend to focus on a specific individual, object, or event.
(The teacher will show her written Ode.)
Lastly, we have a Sonnet, which is a poem with 14
lines that is traditionally about the topic of love.
It was also William Shakespeare who popularized
this form with his 154 written sonnets. If I am not
6 mistaken Sonnet 18 is the most well-known written Sonnet of Shakespeare.
What do you think is the importance of poetry in our (The students will raise their hands.) everyday lives? - Student No. 13 will give its significance.
Wow, Impressive. That is very correct.
As for me, poetry provides an avenue to express
ourselves. To convey our feelings, ideas, and emotions. It enhances our critical thinking, creativity, and writing skills. Poetry also shows us things from different perspectives. This also serves as an awareness and also helps us to understand and appreciate the world around us.
E. Generalization - Do you have any questions? - No, Ma’am.
- Okay. If there are no questions. Who can (Student No. 14 will raise his/her hands.) give me your takeaways about our - Student No. 14 will share her insights and discussion? takeaways from the discussion. He/she will also summarize the lesson.
- Very Good!
