III. PROCEDURE
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
A. Preparation
1. Opening Prayer

2. 2. Greetings
Good morning, class.
How is your day today?
That is good to know, class.
3. Attendance
(Teacher refers to the students’
seating arrangement chart)
Who’s absent today?
4. Review
The teacher calls students to
name the important elements of
drama.
Good morning, ma’am.
It is good and great, ma’am.
There is none, ma’am.
The five important elements of drama:
 Situation
 Character
 Dialogue
 Plot
 Style
B. Motivation
Viewing Activity:
The teacher shows a short video clip to
motivate the students on the topic.
Sample Video Clip:
Watch the video clip carefully and observe
how the characters convey their emotions.
Motivational Questions:
 How does it feel to be watching this
kind of a video clip?
(The students do the activity as being told)
I am moved by watching the video.

3.  Why were you moved by the video?
(Question comes after the answer of
the students)
 What do you think the video is all
about?
 Do the characters in the video
express a good amount of emotion?
If so, then why?
 What element is found in the video
that moves your emotion?
Very good!
The video has a dramatic element that
enables the audience to feel the same way
as to what the characters in the video are
feeling.
The dramatic also has a connection to the
lesson that I am about to teach to you. And
for us to know, I have a game for you to
play.
I am moved by the video because I can feel
that the father would do anything for his
daughter’s future.
I think the video is all about the love of the
father for his daughter.
I can see and feel that the characters
express a good amount of emotion because
they have moved the minds and the hearts
of the audience.
The video contains a dramatic element
that moves my emotion while watching it.
C. Presentation of the Topic
4 Pictures 1 Word Activity:
Now, are you familiar with the mobile
game, 4 pics 1 word?
Have you played it before?
Directions:
All you have to do is to form one word
that fits from the four pictures being
shown to you.
Sample Activity:

4. The teacher facilitates the students of the
activity.

So, what do you think will be our lesson

The teacher gives a short introduction
about the topic, dramatic writing.

Before we continue, we have objectives for
our class today.
Let us all read our goals for today, class.
Objectives:
A. Identify the five elements of
dramatic writing based on the
sample reading text
B. Analyze the situation of the sample
reading text
C. Devise a concept map discussing
the certain elements found in the
text
D. Develop the web based on the
sample reading text
E. Find out the main purpose of
writing the sample reading text
The students guess the words from the
four pictures being shown to them.
First word answer: DRAMATIC
Second word answer: WRITING
Dramatic writing, ma’am.
The students read today’s goals found on
the board.
D. Unlocking of Difficulties
We will have reading activity for today,
class. Before we continue, let us first define
the difficult words in the text.
1. Staccato
Sentence: A staccato of the different

5. musical instruments is melodious to hear.
2. Trek

4. Mynah
Sentence: The mynah was kept in a small

With that short activity, we are now ready

know about the topic?
Trek means a long and difficult journey
that is made especially by walking.
Tenure means the act, right, manner or
term of holding something as property.
Mynah means a black bird from Asia that
is often kept as a pet and trained to copy

(The students listen to the teacher)
E. Discussion
The teacher distributes the copies for
reading.
Reading Material:
“Caught in the Forest Fire”
John Iremil Teodoro
Direction: You are to read a nonfiction text
for 5 minutes.
The text is entitled, “Caught in the Forest
Fire” by John Iremil Teodoro.
Before we read the text, what would be the
standards of reading the text?
(The teacher calls students to name the
standards in silent reading)
(The students follow the teacher)

6. Questions for the Reading Activity:
1. What do you feel after reading the
sample text?
2. What feeling does it evoke to you
while you were reading the text?
3. What was the main purpose of the
author in writing the text?
You all have good ideas about the sample
text that we have read class.
Concept Mapping:
The teacher refers to the concept map
drawn in the work sheets of the students.
I feel bad knowing about the plight of the
tribe. They have to face a difficult
circumstance every day that is even rare to
happen in other places. Some people
would not realize how important a house
is to a person, especially when that person
has thought of his house as a home. And
in just an instant, it is gone. Thus, making
the villagers’ lives a great challenge
because of the phenomena.
While reading the dramatic text, a feeling
of mercy and pity for the villagers is
evoked. It awakens myself to read such a
difficult storm to be face everyday by the
brave people of the village. It is never an
easy task to be balancing and accepting the
truth that something so sentimental to you
just disappears with just a snap of a finger.
The main purpose of the author in writing
the text is to evoke our senses to feel
something for the tribe. It is not always
easy to lose something that you have built
through hard work and determination,
and the author wants to remind us that.
There is always a point of valuing
something while it is still there, rather than
not putting it into action. Thus, regretting
in the end when it is already gone and
faded away.

7. Sample Concept Map:
The teacher calls a student to draw his
concept map for the class to see.
The students do the activity in concept
mapping.
F. Application
To check whether you have understood
about the topic, let us now have a short
activity.
Group Activity:
Let us look on the sample text that we
have read earlier.
The teacher divides the class into three
groups and hands each group a copy of
their tasks to complete the web.
Reading Material:
“Caught in the Forest Fire”
John Iremil Teodoro
Direction: Analyze the text and answer the
guided question tasks to complete the web
for 15 minutes.
