Students’ Activity

(A student will lead the prayer.) “Good morning, Ma'am!"

“Yes, Ma’am!”

"Ma'am, yesterday we have studied the

"That's right, and what is a dictionary, class?"

"And what are the parts of a dictionary?"

"Very good!” C. Prewriting/Motivation (Transformational Drill) "Talking about meanings, I have here a number of definitions which are disarranged.” (Mechanics will flash in the powerpoint presentation.)

D. Writing Activity (Writing Seatwork, Question and Answer and Group Game) “And today, we are going to have a parable about how a person’s way of defining, thinking and deciding form a situation. (Attached herewith is the handout of the The Missing Axe by Lieh Tzu which has several questions after the story. This serves as their writing activity/ seatwork.) “What did the man lose in the beginning of the story?” “Now, what did he do after realizing he lost his axe, his tool for living?” “Afterwards, how did the man think about the situation – about the neighbor’s son?”

dictionary and its parts, Ma'am." “Ma’am, a dictionary is a book or electronic resource that lists the words of a language (typically in alphabetical order) and gives their meaning, or gives the equivalent words in a different language, often also providing information about pronunciation, origin, and usage.” “Ma’am, the parts of a dictionary are: the Guide words, the Page number, the Entry word, the Pronunciation, the Part of Speech, the Definition, the Plural form, the Origin and the Usage.”

(The students will write and play the transformational drill game. A game where they have to arrange the parts of the sentence to unlock the definitions.)

(Students will read; then, answer the questions from the hand outs.) (Afterwards, the class will discuss what they have written and answered in their seatworks.)

“The man lost an axe, Ma’am.”

“Now, what have you learned from the parable, class?”

“He suddenly suspected his neighbor’s son, Ma’am.” “When he suspected him, he thought the boy was a thief. It’s like everything followed, Ma’am. With the way the boy walks, speaks and looks.

“Excellent. What about this situation. If you were the man who lost his axe, would you be doing the same?

“That’s right! It seems like you weighed the situations much.

“We really need to think twice first before we compose our decisions, and before we say, write or act them. Ma’am, I think we need to know that thinking first what’s right and remembering first what had really happened before; moreso, if we try to logically arrange the events, would help us come up with the right composition of our decisions.

E. Presentation of the Lesson “So, our lesson for today will strengthen how we decide and communicate whether it is spoken or written, and it is Writing Objective and Logical Definitions. An objective and “No, Ma’am because If I would, I might be logical definition has the following parts: ending up regretting the decision or worse, hurting other’s feelings, bothering my conscience and weakening my emotions as well. “Here are some examples: First, Parable is short allegorical story specifically written to teach a moral or spiritual lesson. Second, (The teacher will point into which parts of the definition are the specie, genus, and differentia.) “In addition class, if this is the example, Neighbor is a person who is living near or next to our door and who loves to sing karaoke at night. Is it still objective?

“And for the next examples, we would be

playing a labelling game.” (Mechanics will flash in the screen.) “First phase.”

“Differentia is a phrase that states the distinguishing characteristics of the specie.”

For the second phase, you need to pick out a word, and construct objective and logical definitions. F. Generalization “Class, what did you learn and realized from our discussion today?”

“No, Ma’am because the statement of the example is somewhat telling her own and personal definition of the word neighbor.” (These will flash in the screen: Thief is a person who steals another person's property without using force or violence.”

“That’s right! Another?”

“That’s true! We have to be objective and logical. Isn’t it?”

Missing is the present participle tense of the verb, miss that states a continuous activity Axe a tool typically used for chopping wood, usually a steel blade attached at a right angle to a wooden handle.) (Students will play and construct definitions.)

Very good!

“That is a brilliant realization! I am glad you have learned much from our discussion for today”

“I have learned that an objective and logical definition has three parts. The specie which is the defining term, the genus which is the class and the differentia which states the distinguishing characteristics of the specie.” “I have also learned that the way we think and feel, or the way we define a thing greatly affects the way we act, speak and write.”

“Yes, Ma’am, and that by being logical, it means that you should be following steps, and by being objective, it means not letting your sudden judgment rule you because you might hurt other people’s feelings and emotions.” “Ma’am, I just also realized that this writing technique may be used in our different assignments or researches.”

The Parables of the Ancient Philosophers Relativity of All things As They Pass Through Man’s Judgement The Missing Axe by Lieh Tzu Once, a man has lost his axe in the valley. Not knowing where he left it, nor if someone borrowed it, he then, had suspected his neighbor’s son. Starting that day, the son walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief. But then the next day, the man found his axe while digging in the valley. The next time he saw his neighbor’s son, the boy walked, looked and spoke just like any other child. What did the man lose in the beginning of the story? ______________________________________________________________________________ What did the man do after realizing he lost his axe, his tool for living?

______________________________________________________________________________ How did the man think about the situation – about the neighbor’s son? ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ What have you learned from the parable?

______________________________________________________________________________ If you were the man who lost his axe, would you do the same? ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
