C. Unlocking of Difficulties (Activity:

UNSCRAMBLE ME)

When you were in grade 7 and

grade 8 you already discussed
about plot. Now, I want you to
recall about the different elements (The colors they picked will be the
of plot. What do you think are the basis of their groupings.)
different parts of plot? Now, I have
here a box that contains colored
stripped papers.

(The facilitator will assign the

group in their areas.)

I will hand each group a paper.

Each paper contains all elements
of the plot but the letters are
scrambled. What you are going to
do is to guess and unscramble the
letters using the clues that are
written after the unscrambled
words. If you guessed the
scrambled words correctly your
group will have 20 points. You will
be given 15 seconds to guess the
word.

(The facilitator will distribute the

card to each group.)

Are you all ready?

 EPXOISITON - where the

basic characters and plot
elements such as setting
are revealed. In most cases
the major conflict of the
story, novel or script is also
hinted at in the introduction,
though smaller conflicts in
the plot may be introduced
later on. In a shorter work,
the introduction happens
within the first few
paragraphs, while in a
longer work such as a novel
it will happen within the first
few chapters. The narrative
hook, or point in the story
where the author truly
catches the reader's
attention, is often presented
within the introduction.
Ans. (EXPOSITION)

 RSINIG ATIOCN - Taking

place within the first third of
a story, novel or script, the
part of the work where the
problem or conflict central
to the plot is truly
introduced. The main
characters have been
 established and events
begin to get complicated for
them. They may take
actions against the conflict
though it will probably not
be solved yet. This element
of the plot is where
excitement, tension and
crisis are encountered.
Ans. (RISING ACTION)

 CILAMX- the turning point

of a story, novel or script. It
is the moment where it
seems like the main
character is in danger or
could even possibly fail at
resolving the conflict.
Depending on the kind of
conflict being faced (man
vs. man, man vs. self, etc.)
the actions at this point in
the work can be either
physical or mental.
Ans. (CLIMAX)

 FLLANIG ATIOCN - Taking

place after the climax,
includes events that will
help to fully resolve the
conflict. The results of
actions that the main
character has taken are
presented as well as the
results of decisions that
have been made, whether
good or bad for the
character.
Ans. (FALLING ACTION)

 RSELOUITON - The end of

a story, novel or script
includes the last plot
element. It is here that
loose ends are tied up,
conflicts are concluded,
outcomes are revealed and
a happy or sad ending
 takes place. As many of the
final actions have already
taken place, a resolution
can be made up of a just a
summary of where the main
character will end up in the
future, instead of including
any more active events.
Ans. (RESOLUTION)

D. Presentation of Objectives

Now that you have unlocked and

identified the elements of plot,
please read our objectives for
today.

E. Lesson Proper
(Students will read the objectives)
Can you still recall the events of the
play we discussed yesterday?

Stay on your group because we still

have another activity which is
reporting.

1. Activity (Reporting)

Now, I want you to choose a

representative of the group.
He/she is going to report:

Red group - EXPOSITION

Green group – RISING ACTION
orange group - CLIMAX
Yellow group – FALLING ACTION
Pink - RESOLUTION

and you are going to identify the

element assigned to you in the
play “While the Auto Waits”. Each
group will be given 3 minutes to
prepare and 1 minute to report.

(The facilitator will hand a copy of

the summary of the play to each
 group.)

(The facilitator will give the groups

a copy of the rubric for the
reporting.)

(Assess students answers)

Now, let’s check your work.

2. Analysis

How did you identify the

exposition, rising action, climax,
falling action and resolution of the
play?

What is an exposition?
What is rising action?
What is climax?
What is falling action?
What is resolution?
What do you think is the
purpose of plotting the story?

3. Abstraction (Audio-visual
Presentation)

Now, to understand our topic

clearly, let’s have an audio-visual
presentation. I want you to bring
out your notebooks and take down
notes because I will be asking
questions afterwards.

(The facilitator will play an AVP)

Do you think your classmates’

answers awhile ago are correct?

Now, who can explain again:

Explains the situations where the
- What is an exposition?
story begins.

The part of the work where the

- What is rising action?
problem or conflict central to the
plot
 - What is climax? The turning point of a story, novel
or script.

- What is falling action? The end of a story, novel or script.

- What is resolution? (Students will pick a sentence and

post it on the board)

- What is the purpose of plotting A plot is a causal sequence of

the story/play? events, the "why" for the things
that happen in the story. The plot
draws the reader into the
character's lives and helps the
reader understand the choices
that the characters make.

- What is the purpose of plotting It is important to plot the story of

our story in real life?
4. Application
our lives for us to be aware of
what is happening and as
students for us to monitor the
path we are taking, are we still on
the right path or are we now on
the wrong one?

It seems like you have mastered

the different elements of plot, so
now let’s apply what you have
learned. Stay on your group; I
have here a box, the group leader
or representative will pick a card
that contains a picture of your
favourite Disney Princesses. Then,
you are going to sequence the
events of the short story you
picked and you are going to
present your answers creatively,
through story telling. I will give you
3 minutes to prepare.

 CINDERELLA
 SNOW WHITE
 RAPUNZEL
 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
  FROZEN

(Reading of Rubric for

presentation)
