 Critical   Reader­   A   person   who

Allusion­  is   a   passing   reference,

without   explicit   identification,   to   a

passage.                      
  
Allegory­   a   narrative   in   which   the

Juxtaposition­  is   a   technique

wherein   two   or   more   ideas,   places,
characters,   and   their   actions   are
placed   side   by   side   to   develop
comparisons and contrasts.

really   understand   our   last   topic  
that means we can now proceed to
our new lesson.

into 7 groups. Each group will be 
given   an   envelope   that   contains  
letters.   Rearrange   the  letters  in  
order to form the mystery word.  
After that the group will post the 
mystery word on the board.  

Is that clear?

 Very Good.

We usually encounter that when  
we read stories and novels.

Stories   and   novels   are   good  

example of Prose.

Based on that activity and to the 
question/s I have asked you, can  
you guess what could be our topic 
for this day?

Exactly! Very Good.

5. Application

“Learning   Task   No.   5:

Pictionary”

Mechanics:  The class  will be

divided   into   2   groups.   Each
group   will   have   their
representative to pick mystery
words.   Then   he/she   will   draw
image/s on the board that will
serve as cues for the remaining
members. The members of the
group will guess what the word
is. Correct answers correspond
to a point. The group that has
more   number   of   points   will
declare   as   the   winner.   Each
group will be given 2 minutes
to do the task.
