TEACHER'S ACTIVITY STUDENT'S ACTIVITY

Good afternoon, class! Good afternoon. Sir!

We all stand for our short prayer (The class will rise and offer their personal prayer
silently through the teacher.) We're fine, Sir.
How do you do, class? Thank you! How about you. Sir?

Brilliant! So am Thank you, Sir!

1. Thank you. Please take your seats now. Likewise, Sir!

pleasure to meet you! And I am Teacher Bob,

nice to meet you, too,

We are your teachers in English this

RECALL

Before we proceed to our discussion, let us firstly

have a short recall about what we had last
meeting. What was your reading material all
about? (Teacher will call a volunteer.)

Very good! What is the piece's original genre of

literature?

Indeed. However on your previous reading

material, to what genre was it transferred? All

right! We find that a single piece can be

modified into a different genre without losing

its essence, don't we? Why is that so?

That's right! Every piece of every genre of

literature follows or possesses certain literary
elements so that, even when they go across
genres, the meaning and lesson will not be lost.

At this juncture we will get to know these literary

elements and which of them are unique with one
another, that is to say between a short story and
a play.

(Teacher will discuss what is on the PowerPoint

about the Elements of a Short Story and

Nice try, Group 2. Group 1 and 3 you can still,

GO!

Very Good! Next term:

NOAH WEBSTER

"GO

Good. Let's make it faster. Next term: The Legend

of Sleepy Hollow

"GO!"

Nice. Next term:

HUDSON VALLEY

Very good! Next Term:

1859

"GO!"

Sorry, you got it wrong. Other groups can

"GO!"

Good.

(Timer stops)

I believe it's already time. So, settle down class.

Go back to your seats and we will tally your

scores

Group 1 gathered two (2) points

Group 2 has 1 (1) point. And Group 3 has two (2)

points. It's alright group two, you can still gain
points later.

Obviously, what we did in our game was to

determine if you really have read the material
given to you. It also reveals your skills in
collaborating with your group members

PRE-READING

Now, let us proceed in discussing the terms. we

have encountered in the game through watching
a short video clip. I want you to pay attention and
to take note of the famous writers that will be
presented and their styles of writing

Now class, upon watching the video can

somebody please enumerate the "four great
names" who won international fame

Okay you're right. Can you recall his writing style?

Very good! Now what are the names of the 3

remaining writers? Very good! Also Poe was in

fact credited with

the creation of detective stories. Who among you

loves to read and watch detective stories?

Ob see that there are quite a lot of students

who loves detective stories. Now, who are the

other two?

Yes and his form of writing was?

Yes, very good. Who is the last writer then?

Yes ma'am!

(Students watching video)

Washington Irving ma'am.

Based from my notes ma'am, his writing style

is characterized by humour and satire. Edgar

Allan Poe ma'am and his writing was
characterized by a dark and mystery.
(students raises hands)

William Cullen Bryant ma'am

He was a naturalist ma'am.

James Fenimore Cooper ma'am. His writing. is

about some sort of a mix between history and
romance.

Very Good!

From the video that we have watched a while

ago, we already knew that our topic is about the
"Emerging America: The Birth of a Republic",
right?

Yes, ma'am.

Before we proceed to discussing the reading

material that was assigned to you, let us first
narrow down the concepts and facts that we
have seen in the video.

Can somebody please provide a word or a phrase

that we can associate to the word "EMERGENCE/
EMERGING"

Yes, please. (pointing to a student) Good. Who

else?

Okay, you're right. Anymore?

Very good! You are all right. Emerging. America

can also be considered as its rising. its "coming
out" and/or its birth from being colonized by the
European people. In other words, it was their
early independence period.

During this time, the American writers were still

influenced by the writing styles and forms of their
colonizer.

As time goes by, the writers began to realize and

compose a national literature that would reflect
their EXPERIENCES. With that being said, in your
opinion, what could be the possible themes of
their writings?
For somebody who has been free from grudges
or violence or unwanted past, what do you think
will now be his/her mindset?

Okay, that is one. Another?

Okay, it's as if you can relate from that

experience, huh? Just kidding.

Anymore?

Okay, good. Those themes can be seen in the

literary works during that time. The advent of
"National literature" became an avenue for new
themes, writing styles and forms used by the
writers. As we have seen in the video. Noah
Webster is heavily noted for contributing what?

Okay, good! Can you still recall hat was special

about this dictionary?

Very good. Its purpose is to insist that American

have its own language.

Prior to discussing his piece "Rip Van Winkle", we

will now proceed to understanding the profile of
one of the four great names who won
international fame during this period, he is
Washington Irving.

Based on your book, who is Washington Irving?

Okay. Good, what else?

Okay, anymore?
First and foremost, we will introduce ourselves to the class. I am Teacher Rain, my

Aye aye, Sir and Ma'am!!

(A volunteer answers.) Sir, we read on and studied Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving. It was he who
slept for 20 years only to find out that he awoke to a different America.

A short story, Sir.

It was modified from being a short story to a

play. Sit.

Okay. Thank you! Just for clarification, Washington Irving was not born on 1738 but rather on April 3,
1783. According to the accounts about his biography, he died at the age of 76 due to heart failure.

You're right when you say that he is the pioneer of short story. In fact, he is credited with perfecting the
American short story and for writing for entertainment as opposed to enlightening. He was also known
as the "American man of Letters".

He was intended for legal profession, but his studies were interrupted by illness necessitating a voyage
to Europe. He then, decided to quit law and began to write for a living. Two of his famous short stories
are "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and the story that we will be discussing. "Rip Van Winkle"

Lastly, Irving used to rove through the Hudson Valley to gather Dutch legends. One of which is "Rip Van
Winkle".

Pre-Reading Activity:

As, Irving anchored his piece to the Dutch legends. I will be handling each of you a "Human Bingo" which
is consists of experiences of people that can be considered a legend or a myth to reveal what you know
about it. Do you know how to play a BINGO?
Okay, it is alright. All you have to do is to roam around the classroom and ask your classmates whether
they heard about that

He is the pioneer of short story ma'am.

He was born on 1738 and died on 1859.

During his childhood he used to rove through Hudson, Valley.

experience being told by their friends or a family member or whether they have similar experience and
story. If yes, your classmate will sign the "square" where he/she is familiar with. All you have to do is to
look for (5) five classmates who have heard about the experiences in each box.

Please take note: Your classmate should have heard about the story being told by someone. not because
they have read it themselves

The first student to complete a line diagonally, horizontally or vertically set of experiences in the BINGO
sheet will be the winner of the game.
Any questions?

Good. You may now start asking your

classmates.

(Attached is the Human Bingo) (Discusses the results of the game common experiences or stories that
the students know) DURING READING In the reading assignment that was given to

you last time, Rip Van Winkle, we have

encountered spirits, right? To recall what happened to Rip at the Catskill Mountain and discuss other
things in the story. I am giving you 5 minutes to answer the

following questions as a group:

1. What is the setting of the story?

2. Who is the main character? How is he

Now, will you all please settle down and go back to your proper seats.

Now class, can you please again enumerate some differences in the setting in Scene 1 and Scene 3?

Yes. What else?

Yes, very good. What other differences was made?

Yes, very good. Nice observations! So there were quite a number of changes that was made to the inn.
Well, do you recall if what did Rip and the other townsfolk do at the inn?

Yes ma'am
Very good. The inn was a place where Rip and the townspeople commonly go to. People would rather
go here to rest and hang out all day rather than to work in order to make more profit of their own.

The inn actually represents America in the past before the occurrence of the revolution. Who among
you is familiar with the American revolution?

(Student's goes back to their seats)

Um, the inn where Rip once had gone to change into a hotel ma'am.

Also the flag changed ma'am

The picture of King George changed into George Washington's picture ma'am.

Before America was colonized by the British

10:31

* 43

studocu.com/ph/docum

= StuDocu

Before, America was colonized by the British monarchy. So, they cannot really act independently they're
under the British So just like the people at the Inn, America acted passively and didn't take action in
improving their self.
Now, if you were in the shoes of the townsfolk at the inn would you choose to act like them? If not,
what would you do then? Or maybe let's but it this way. If you have a problem at school would you let it
be or take action?

Ok, well yes it would have been a little scary. Any other opinions?

1 commend you for your bravery. Well, I can see that you have different opinions of the matter. Now
there was a time came when the Americans realized that they were really oppressed so his was then the
time when they took action.

The period was called as the American Revolution. It was a time where people violently revolted against
King George because they've now wanted to get out of the grips of the British rule and build their own
independent nation.

The inn actually represented the time before the revolution. During that period the American people
were quite passive and

Well, ma'am based from the script they said that it was a place where the people commonly hang out to

(students raises their hands)

Ma'am, if I were them I think that I would. have acted the same because I think that it is too risky to take
action. You don't really have a clue of what'll happen.

Well ma'am for me I would rather choose to take action because at least I know to myself that I have
done something for myself/ country.

10:31

unmoving just like the people at the inn. But after Rip woke up the Inn was changed into the Union
hotel. What time period do you think did Rip woke up to, was it before or during the American
revolution?

Hmm. not quite the answer.

Yes, you are right the time period when rip. woke up to was after the revolution. As compared to the inn
the union hotel was a place of productivity. If you are to read the original text or story of the Rip Van
Winkle the Union hotel is more elaborately described there.

So the time Rip woke up that was the period when America was now slowly starting to build their
government. This was the time of the Birth of the American republic. The time when America started to
emerge from their rubbles and the remnants of their war with the British

Now class do you think that the story of Rip was possible? Did he really sleep for 20

years?

During the revolution ma'am.

No, it was after ma'am.

Ma'am I think that it was only a symbol of the passage of time ma'am.

I also agree with him ma'am

EVALUATION

Rip was put in a time where he jumped to a time where no one remembered him. All the people he once
knew we're either gone or are not there anymore. It's like he was robbed out of his identity because the
things he used to have we're all gone- his wife, his friends, his possessions and the people he once
adored and loved. Now,

"If you had come into an entirely new situation, how would you fit into society that is nothing like the
one that you were used to?"

I will now give you these pieces of paper and in there I want you to write your comment your answers to
this question and you can also write a hashtag below it. You can draw your own profile picture in the
space provided and make your own username. Now, after writing your answers you can then post it in
Washington Irving's timeline in order for him to see your comments.

Do you have any questions class about the activity class?

Ok you may now then proceed.

If I was him ma'am I think that I might have panicked.

None ma'am.
(Students writes their answers)

Wow I can see that you all have very

wonderful questions. Let us then read some of

your answers.

Homework.

Washington Irving was really very fond of collecting Dutch legends. So, class for your homework I want
you to help Irving in finding new legends for his new collection entitled " myths and legends". To
accomplish this, I want you to interview. someone who knows any legends. It can be your lolo's or lola/s
because stories like these were really quite famous during their time. You can also interview your
parents or maybe aunts.

Afterwards, I want you to make a myth of

your own based from your interview and choose any of the following to serve as your
final output. 1. Podcast/ Radio dramat

2. Video of you telling a story 3. Make a script using your classmates as

the characters or actors and actresses.

(Make sure that you follow the

conventions of a script. You can refer

here for the conventions https://www.writersstore.com/how-to write-a-screenplay-a-guide-to

scriptwriting)

You can do it with a group of your choice. Each group should at least have 3-4 members. Make sure that
everyone in the group does something
