FIRST RIDDLE

Singers use me, so do baseball stars,
The steeper I am, the harder it scars.
What am I?
Answer: Pitch

SECOND RIDDLE

On chosen words, meaning profound.
I mark the path, the message clear,
Highlighting what the speaker holds dear.
What am I?

ANSWER: Stress
 THIRD RIDDLE
I roar like thunder, a voice unbound,
Or whisper secrets, a gentle sound.
My strength can shift, with changing tides,
Reflecting feelings deep inside.
What am I?

ANSWER: Volume

FOURTH RIDDLE
I rise like hope, a question posed,
Or fall like doubt, a truth exposed.
A hidden melody, a feeling's trace,
I bend and turn, to set the pace.
What am I?

ANSWER: Intonation
WHAT IS IT?
Lesson Proper

Prosodic Features of Speech

 are a set of linguistic elements that are employed in
spoken language to convey emphasis and meaning;
they are also referred to as suprasegmentals.

Types of Prosodic Features of Speech

1. Volume
 It refers to the loudness or softness of the voice
 It can convey emotions, importance, or emphasis
Example:
 Harana (Courtship Serenade): A Ballad of Soft Volume
where a traditional Filipino courtship serenade that
offers a beautiful example of how volume is used as a
prosodic feature to convey cultural meaning

2. Stress
 It refers to the emphasis placed on certain syllables or
words in a sentence
Example:
 "Adobo (stress on the second syllable) is a classic
Filipino dish with a rich and savory flavor." (This
sentence emphasizes the importance of adobo in
Filipino cuisine.)

3. Pitch
 Pitch is a prosodic feature that refers to the highness or
lowness of the voice
 Voice will rise when asking questions that are
answerable by yes or no but also with wh- and h-
questions.
Example:
 Erin doesn’t like adobo (Falling pitch)
 Erin doesn’t like adobo? (Rising pitch)
 4. Intonation
is the change in pitch that occurs both upward and
downward within a word.

Example:
 I heard you traveled to Ternate this summer (falling
intonation), is it true? (rising intonation)
 Yes, (falling intonation) I went to Ternate together with
my family (falling intonation). I was there for two weeks.
(falling intonation)

Students will be asked to identify what are the types of

prosodic speech.

After the lesson, the teacher will play the video of I Am an

African Child and give each copy of the story to the students.

I am an African Child
By: Ektu McGred

I am an African child
Born with a skin the colour of chocolate
Bright, brilliant and articulate
Strong and bold; I'm gifted
Talented enough to be the best
I am an African child

Often the target of pity

My future is not confined to charity
Give me the gift of a lifetime;
Give me a dream, a door of opportunity;
I will thrive
I am an African child

Do not hide my fault

show me my wrong
I am like any other;
Teach me to dream
And I will become
I am an African child

I am the son, daughter of the soil

Rich in texture and content
Full of potential for a better tomorrow
Teach me discipline, teach me character, teach me hard work
Teach me to think like the star within me
I am an African child
 I can be extra-ordinary
call me William Kamkwamba the Inventor;
Give me a library with books
Give me a scrap yard and discarded electronics
Give me a broken bicycle;
Plus the freedom to be me
And I will build you a wind mill
I am an African child

We are the new generation

Not afraid to be us
Uniquely gifted, black and talented
Shining like the stars we are
We are the children of Africa
Making the best of us
Yes! I am an African child

The emoji race will be implemented to choose a student to

answer the guide questions.

Guide Questions:
1. Do you think all the prosodic features should be applied
in the poem? Why?
2. How do you interpret the poem's message? What is the
speaker trying to convey? (The reader-response theory is
applied to this question)
3. How would your interpretation of the poem change if it
were delivered in a different tone of voice?
