4. Presentation of the Story

“Much Stronger Than You Think” 
by Jacob Daniel B. Pagulayan
Adapted

You may be deceived at first

At how much a bamboo tree is worth.
It looks thin and frail as a chopstick,
But it really is much stronger than you think!

A bamboo tree is a graceful dancer.

A bamboo tree is a great defender.
A bamboo tree is like rubber.
A bamboo tree is like a father.

See the bamboo tree sway where the wind blows.

Witness the bamboo tree bend up to its toes.
Can other trees do this?
Oh, no! I don’t think so!

Is it strong and useful to man?

Yes, you can use it in as many ways as you can!
It symbolizes a race, this we should know,
Because a bamboo is as resilient as Filipinos.
-The Greenery, 2015

5. Answering Motive Question

 Did you understand the poem?  Yes.

6. Comprehension Check
1. What is being talked about in the poem? 
2. Why do you think the bamboo is considered strong?
3. What other word can best describe the bamboo?
4. Do you agree that Filipinos are like the bamboo? Why?
Why not?
5. Do you see the resiliency of the Filipinos? Why? Why
not?

 Yes, very good! Until now you can still see the
resiliency of the Filipino, just like when the Covid-19
spread in the Philippines. There may be a lot of
challenges and changes happened in our life, we the
Filipino remain standing just like the bamboo. Although
we faced a lot of problems but we didn’t give up instead
we became stronger.

objects using as or like.
Example:
The narra tree is like a giant.
The plant is as thin as a needle.
 Metaphor is a figure of speech that contains an implied
comparison. It sometimes uses is, are, was, were to
signal that metaphor is present.
Example:
The big tree was an umbrella to the sleeping cat.
The bamboo was a majestic tower.
 Personification is a figure of speech that gives human
characteristics, actions, feelings, and qualities to
inanimate objects, animals, or ideas.
Example;
The leaves sadly waved at us.
The tree played merrily with the wind.
 Examples:
1. A bamboo tree is like rubber.
2. It (bamboo tree) looks thin and frail as a chopstick.
3. A bamboo tree is a graceful dancer.
4. A bamboo tree is a great defender.
