Elements of the Plan Methodology

Preparations Introductory Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
Activity “Good Morning Class...”

“Please stand up for the prayer.”

“Please remain standing for our

energizer. And please follow what is
shown on the video.”

“Since you are now energized, im

pretty sure you are ready to listen to
our new lesson. But before that, I’ll
check the attendance first. Please
raise your hand and say present as I
call your name.”

“So how’s your day? Is it good so

far?”

“That’s good to know. So, are you

ready to discuss our new topic
today?’

“Okay that’s good, so let’s begin this

with a group activity! Are you ready?

Motivation Before we start our lesson for today, I

will divide the class into two groups.
 Are you familiar with Louis Yes, Ma’am.
Armstrong’s song “What a
Wonderful World”?

Now, we are going to watch a video

presentation and since you already
know the song, I want you to sing Yes, Ma’am.
along with it while watching. Am I
making myself clear?

Here are the guide questions that you

are going to answer after watching
the presentation. Kindly read this
altogether.
Guide Questions:
1. What are the wonders you see in
the presentation? How will you
describe them?
2. In what ways you can show your
love and appreciation to the world
where you are living now?
3. What is the message of the song?
4. What will you do to make our
world a better place to live in?
5. What are the adjectives used in
the song? What do they describe?

As you are watching the video, I also

Yes, Ma’am.
require you to write down your
insights, ideas, and descriptions on
the pictures flashed on the screen.
Am I clear?

How do you find the video?

Analysis Ma’am, it is so overwhelming to
know how wonderful our world is,
but the saddest part is that our world
today is almost destroyed by people.

Good! Now, it’s time for us to answer

the guide questions. Kindly answer
number 1.  Trees- green and fruitful
 Roses/flowers- red and
bloomed
 Ocean- clean and blue
 Birds and other animals- free
and peaceful

 People- forgiving
Excellent! How about number 2?
 Plant more trees

 Taking care of environment

 Refrain from loitering around

Nice answer. Do you mind to answer

the third question?  The song tells us that we
should take care of the world
before it’s too late. People
have lost its essence and
beauty. And because of the
turbulence of our days, we
forget to observe the many
wonders that our world offers.

Great! And the fourth question?

 If we want our world a better
place to live in, then we
should start it with ourselves.
A good citizen can influence
other people to help one
another to make our world
peaceful and better.
And number 5?

 Wonderful-world

 Pretty- colors of the rainbow

 Bright, blessed- day

 Dark, sacred- night

Presentation Activity If that so, then let’s watch now the (Students watch the presentation)
video presentation.

Analysis How do you find the video? Ma’am, it is so overwhelming to

Abstraction It seems that you really understand

the message of the song. Now, that
you have your own group, you’re
going to write an essay regarding the
descriptions you gather earlier while
watching the video. But, there’s a
twist. The first person should start
writing the paragraph. Do not reveal
to your members what you are
writing. When you have written about
a paragraph, fold the paper down so
that only the last sentence can only be
seen. Pass the paper to the next
person, and the routine is the same.
The only clue you have to continue
writing is the last line of the
paragraph and the focus is on video
presented. Do not forget to
incorporate descriptive words on your
work. Afterwards, you will read your
outputs aloud. Be sure that your work (Students in groups write the activity
is finished as the music stops. while the video is played for the
second time)

(Students read their outputs aloud)

Time’s up! You can now read your
outputs.

What have you noticed in the essay It usually described particular person,
you have written? place, thing, or event.

Based on the activity you have done, Ma’am, our lesson for today is all
what do you think is our lesson for about descriptive essay.
today?

Descriptive essay is a genre of essay

Good. Do you mind to read the that asks the student to describe
definition of descriptive essay? something—object, person, place,
experience, emotion, situation, etc.

Thank you. It is also the genre that

encourages the student’s ability to
create a written account of a
particular experience. What is more,
this genre allows for a great deal of
artistic freedom (the goal of which is
to paint an image that is vivid and
moving in the mind of the reader). To
write an effective descriptive essay,
we have some guidelines to follow.  Take time to brainstorm.
Kindly read number 1.
Thank you. So, if I ask you to write a
descriptive essay about nature or the
world as a whole, you must jot down
all the adjectives that suit the topic to
avoid mental blocked.  Use clear and concise
language

This means that words are chosen

carefully, particularly for their
relevancy in relation to that which
you are intending to describe. We
must be accurate always in describing  Use your senses
things to avoid misunderstanding.

If you are describing something, you

need to be appealing to the senses of
the reader. Explain how the thing
smelled, felt, sounded, tasted, or
looked. Embellish the moment with
senses. And what are the senses Ma’am, we have the eyes, nose, ears,
used? tongue, and skin.

Can you give examples on sentences

applying this rule with regards to the
video we watched earlier? Answers vary

 Organize details
Very good. And the fourth one?

The structure of your essay can start

from general to specific or in
chronological order as long as the
reader conveys the message you want
to say. It always depends on the style
the writers have. You must strive to
present an organized and logical
description if the reader is to come
away from the essay with a cogent  Draw a logical conclusion
sense of what it is you are attempting
to describe. And the last rule?

The conclusion may also use

descriptive words; however, make
 certain the conclusion is logical and
relevant.

Okay. Now that we are familiar with

MEMORIES FROM THE
the rules, let’s analyze an example of CABANA
essay first. I was born and raised in South
America, a continent with a lot of
mountain ranges–ideal for mountain
climbing and hiking-long winding
rivers, lush forests, wonderful
beaches, as well as valleys with
breathtaking views. Based on
experience, I can say that it is a
tropical country; which was
confirmed during my history class in
sixth grade. In a country where it’s
hot and humid, my fashion statement
is sporting a large white (sometimes
blue) t-shirt and a Hawaiian type
shorts. A dark pair of shades is also
an important part of my get-up as it
protects my eyes from the sun’s harsh
rays. Being born in South America
you might think that I have dark hair
with brown eyes and a charming
smile; a typical Cabana boy.

(Teacher groups students into four

and each will be given a particular
guideline in essay writing. Students
judge the essay based on the
guideline assigned to them. 3 minutes
will be given to write their judgment)
