1. Pre-Writing i. The teacher will post a written copy of the story Simon who was called Peter by Kahlil Gibran* on the board, but some parts will be covered. The teacher will read first until he comes to the first hidden section. A random student will be called to reveal that part and continue the reading until he stops at the next hidden section. He will call another student, and so on until the full story is presented. (Note: The underlined sentences represent the hidden areas in the story.) (*story attached) ii. Comprehension Check The teacher will ask the following questions: - Who are the main characters in the story? - Where did the story take place? - What did Jesus tell the two men? - What happened when they reached Simons home? - Did the two brothers agree to join Jesus? What made them stay at home? iii. After the activity, ask the students what they notice about the construction of the dialogue in the areas covered. This will lead to the introduction of the lesson, direct and indirect speech.* The teacher will then facilitate a short discussion. (*lesson attached) Ask the students which of the covered areas in the story can be classified as direct and indirect speech. Afterwards, ask the students to give their own examples of direct speech and have them convert into indirect speech, and vice-versa. 2. While Writing Divide the class into 4 groups. In one whole sheet of intermediate pad paper, they will be asked to create a short script about any story that they like. Tell the students to include direct and indirect speeches in the dialogue. 3. Post-Writing After finishing their scripts, ask each group to submit a copy to the teacher for grading and reference. Ask the students to act out their skits in front of the class. The role-playing should not exceed 3 minutes and should make use of direct and indirect speeches in the dialogue of the characters. d. Evaluation 1.
