Teacher’s Activity                                  A.    Lesson Proper Pre-listening 1.      Phonics Listen as I read to you the following minimal pairs producing the sound of /o/ and /ow/. You must repeat after me. /o/                    /ow/ law                  low hall                 whole call                  coal ball                  bowl bought             boat caught             coat lawn                lone 2.      Preparation What is all about the video clip? What are the things he did for his students? Do you have teachers in the past just like him? So what are the things he did to show his love? So, let’s find out how a teacher showed his love and affection  for his students in the story, “Courage” by Bienvenido N. Santos. 3.      Vocabulary Game This game is called “Quiz with a Twist.” Group yourselves into five.  I will use the difficult word in a sentence. I will give the meaning of the difficult word and then I’ll flash the jumbled letters. Your task is to arrange the jumbled letters to get the synonyms of the difficult words. 1.      Demeanor- somebody's behavior, or appearance, especially as it reflects on character                      Some of the girls even a number of the boys     were visibly cowed into submission by the new teacher’s unsmiling demeanor, his businesslike firmness, his detachment. 2.      Foghorn- a horn sounded on a ship or boat when fog reduces visibility, as a warning to other vessels Javier was the extemporaneous speaker in the class in spite of a voice that sounded like a foghorn. 3.      Fidgeted- to move around in a restless, absent-minded, or uneasy manner Maria fidgeted, and only Javier managed to talk coherently in his foghorn voice. 4.      Blunder -to make a serious or embarrassing mistake as a result of carelessness or ignorance Often questions were asked just to make him commit a blunder but he never blundered. 5.      Camouflage- something that is intended to hide, or mislead To him laughter in a classroom was a crime. What was the student’s smile but camouflage for gross ignorance? 6.      Affable- good-natured, and easy to talk to Why can’t Mr. Torres be like the other teachers-affable, pleasant, full of humor? 7.      Bewildered -to confuse somebody completely Fred was there with a number of his classmates looking bewildered and quiet and lost. 8.      Excruciating- extremely painful, physically or emotionally:  tedious, or irritating He pursued the even tenor of his teaching days without a sign of the excruciating pain daily attacked him. 9.      Quivering- to shake rapidly with small movements Their hearts in their blended voices, quivering with remorse and regret. 10.  Remorse- a strong feeling of regret Their hearts in their blended voices, quivering with remorse and regret. 11.  Replete- having eaten enough to be fully satisfied Where’s the land of peace replete? 4.      Listening Listen carefully  as I read the story, “Courage” by Bienvenido Santos, then afterwards we will have a round robin reading. 5.      Discussion How did the story start? Who is the main character? Who is he? What kind of teacher is he?                What kind of students are there in the class? How did the students react towards their new teacher? What happened to their teacher? What are the things he requested his students to do before his death? If you were one of the students, how will you  react about this sudden announcement, his death? When did the students feel their teacher’s importance? Why is it too late to appreciate Mr. Torres? 6.      Generalization Do you appreciate him as a teacher? Why? What is the message of the selection? What is the implication you can get to the story? 7.      Application Post-listening Go back to your groups and let’s have another activity. Pick an activity you will perform presenting your opinions and point of view based on the selection.

Student’s Activity (The students will produce the sounds of the minimal pairs.) The video clip is all about a teacher who loves his students dearly. He sacrificed his time, effort and money for his students. He is patient enough in understanding his students. Yes, sir. I had a teacher before when I was in elementary and even in high school. I had classmates before who can’t afford to buy snacks. Then,  my teacher gave them money to buy food in the school canteen. Even my teacher is sick, she tried to come to school just to teach us  the expected lesson we have to tackle. Yes, sir. MANNER WARNING NERVOUSLY CLUMSY DISGUISE FRIENDLY PUZZLE EMBARRASSING TREMBLE GUILT FULL (The students will listen and afterwards they will read the selection.) It started with the giving of the background of the story. The main character is Mr. Arsenio L. Torres. He is the new teacher of  Room 8. He is so serious, not charming and very strict. He is very impersonal as what his students’ perceive. The students are bright especially in English. They are talented as well. The whole class remained quiet while the class is going on. They don’t like the teacher because of his unsmiling demeanor. Their teacher died because of an illness. He let the students take charge of the morning program and they have just 12 days to prapare. Of course, i will be speechless and regret for being  so insensitive. I must do something good before he died and let him feel that we love him so much. After they heard his death, they finally felt the importance of their teacher. It is too late to appreciate him because we just feel the importance of a person when they are gone or far away from us. After knowing that he is sick in coming to school, i appreciate him as my teacher. “Realizing one’s worth always come in the end.” “Repentance comes at last.” “Don’t judge the book by its cover.” We have to know the story behind a person before judging them because it is one way of respect. Be sensitive for the feelings of others. (Students will pick among the following activities: debate, public speaking, role play, talk show and beauty pageant.)
