abroad in Bhutan. The following year she gave birth to their first son, Alexander Aris, in London; their
second son, Kim, was born in 1977. Subsequently, she earned a PhD at the School of Oriental and African

Celebrities perform a range of different social, cultural and political functions. In Burma their social and
cultural roles are no different, though they have the added burden of maintaining an identity within a
politically repressive and highly media-controlled society. In this environment, advertising provides
celebrities with a short-term financial reward, and an opportunity to further promote their brand image.
Though some actors have used their fame to voice criticism against junta policies, most see advertising in
practical terms of maintaining a career. Many live near the relatively small Yangon CBD, in some of the few
middle class (by Burmese standards) suburbs, where they may find it difficult to maintain anonymity. It is not
uncommon see singers and actors in the street, during social encounters or even whilst they are shooting a
new TV commercial. The localness of famous people in Burma, in this sense, gives their patronage an extra
sense of familiarity in advertising work. Advertising and Celebrity Endorsement in Burma Andrew King -

Read the Thai folktale Makato and the Cowrie shell and answer the following questions and write your
answers in your notebook:
Makato and the Cowrie Shell
(A Thai Folktale)
by Supanee Khanchanathiti
Once upon a time, there was a boy whose name was Makato. He was an orphan, for his father and mother died when he
was very young. He had no brothers, sisters, cousins or friends to take care of him, so he had to make a living for himself.
He did every kind of work—carrying heavy things, clearing away the forest, or feeding pigs. He never idled. Although he
was paid only small wages, he was satisfied. He knew that if he would not work, he would starve. Wherever he went, his
employers praised him for being sensible, hardworking, good-tempered and cheerful.
One fine evening after he had finished chopping up a big pile of wood, he sat down to rest and thought of all he would like
to do in the future. He wanted to try his luck in far–off strange lands, for he longed for exciting adventures.
―What are you thinking about so deeply, my boy?” asked his employer. ―I would like to go on a journey for adventure,”
said Makato, pointing to the northeast. ―I heard that the land is fertile and the people are kind. I wish I could see the land
for myself.” His eyes sparked with excitement.
―The land you wish to go to is called Sukhothai,” said his employer. ―They say Pra Ruang of Sukhothai is a very kind–
hearted king. You might be lucky if you could go there.‖
Sometime later, Makato decided to try his fortune. He left his village and set out in the wide world .He walked along
cheerfully, enjoying new insights and talking to the people he met on the way. After a month‘s journey, he reached a village
on the boundary of the Kingdom of Sukhothai.
―Please, can I have some water to drink?” Makato asked an old woman with a big water pot on her head. ―I‘m so thirsty.‖
―Where did you come from? Why are you here alone? You look as if you‘ve come a long way,‖ said the old woman,
pouring cold water from her pot into a small cup and handling it to Makato.
―Thank you so much,” said the boy. ―Who are your father and mother? Haven‘t you any family?” the old woman asked
again.
―I come from the City of Mon over there,” replied Makato. ―Good heavens! Have you really come from Môn? How is it
that you are travelling alone, such a young boy as you are?”
―I wanted to see Pra Ruang of Sukhothai,” replied Makato.”They say he is a very kind-hearted king.” ―You are a very
determined boy!” said the woman.” Come along with me .Who knows? You might see Pra Ruang someday.”
Makato was glad to go with her. If he could work with this kind of woman, he would have a place to sleep, some food to
eat and perhaps someday, he might be lucky enough to see the king.
The old woman was one of the Pra Ruang Mahouts, which meant that she helped the mahout find the food for the
elephant and clean out the elephants‘sheds. He worked hard and well, and the mahout and his wife grew fond of him.
One day, the sky was clear and the weather so fine, it seemed to Makato that it must be a lucky day. As he worked in the
elephants‘sheds, a tall young man in a splendid costume, followed by attendants, came in. It was Pra Ruang himself. Makato
bowed low at once with his hands clasped together before him.
His heart beat fast. ―Where did the boy come from?” the king asked the mahout, who was attending him. ―How old is
he?” the king asked further. ―12 years old, your Majesty,” replied the mahout. ―A good-looking and hardworking boy,”
said the king. ―Take good care of him.”
As the king walked away, Makato saw a little cowrie shell lying on the ground .He ran to pick up and held it to the king, but
the king said with a smile, ―You may keep it.”
―How wonderful!” Makato thought, ―the king has given me a cowrie shell.”
At the time, the people of Sukhothai used cowrie shells as money. Although one cowrie had little value, Makato wanted to
make as much use of it as possible, for it was the king‘s gift. For a long time, he could not think of a way to use it so that it
would earn money for him.
One day, he passed by a stall in the market where the seeds of many different plants were sold. He looked along the stall
and caught sight of a basket full of lettuce seed. Lettuces! He could grow small plants like that. He asked the joyful woman
at the stall, ―Can I buy some lettuce seed?” ―Oh yes, my boy. How much do you want?” said the old woman ―I have one
cowrie shell!‖ said Makato. ―One cowrie shell!” said the woman, laughing.” That won‘t buy anything. I can‘t even measure
that much.” ―Look!” said Makato eagerly. ―I will dip my finger into the pile of seeds. Then, I will take the seeds that stick
to it. That must be right for one cowrie shell.” ―Well, why not?” said the amused woman at his suggestions. ―All right boy.
Help yourself.”
Makato paid the woman his one cowrie shell .Then, he dipped his finger into the pile of seeds. When he pulled his wet
finger out, it was covered with seeds. He carefully scraped them of his finger into the palm of his hand and went away,
happily clutching the seeds.
Now that he had seeds, Makato broke the soil and sowed them at once. He watered the seed bed every day and soon, the
young plants appeared. Day by day, he cleared more ground and planted more lettuce seedlings until the kitchen garden was
covered with them. He was very proud of himself because he had done so well.
As the years passed, Makato grew tall and handsome. He mastered every grace and served the king well. He was so loyal
that the king trusted him absolutely. He was promoted to higher positions until he was given a title of Kun Wang, which
meant that he was the most important person in the king‘s court. He was also happily married to the beautiful young
daughter of the king. After that, the king made him the ruler of the Mon.
So it was that Makato, who had once been a poor orphan, became the king of that prosperous kingdom.

The 21st century is the century of modern, dynamic lifestyle that is associated with globalization and the
sharing of opinions. However, a large group of people still stick to traditional ideas which are not necessarily
good. One of them is an attitude towards domestic chores. They insist that domestic work including parenting is
clearly a woman’s business.
In most marriages, we see that women do an unfair share of household tasks and the majority of child
care, regardless of whether they work outside the home or not. Specifically, women do two or three times as
much housework as men. Mothers spend 3 to 5 hours actively involved with their children for every hour that
fathers spend. Men, on the other hand, have traditionally had more power in decision making.
Should we consent to this? For me, no! Modern society requires change including the equality in sharing
chores among men and women.
Why? Because research suggests that there are more benefits. An equal partnership benefits marriages as a
whole and benefits husbands and wives individually.
The most important benefit is happier marriage. Equal partnership fosters closeness between husband
and wife, resulting in a stronger and happier marriage. Spouses feel better about themselves and each other,
which makes them more likely to share their thoughts and feelings. This greater emotional intimacy or closeness
leads to greater physical intimacy, an important element of a happy marriage. Couples with an equal partnership
also report more stability in their marriage, less conflict, less dependence, and less disagreement.
Researcher John Gottman found that husbands who accept their wives' influence are four times less likely
to divorce or have an unhappy marriage.
What are the benefits to men? Men benefit emotionally from equal partnership because there is greater
openness and they feel better about their marriage. They also benefit from the greater physical intimacy that
comes with equal partnership. Physical intimacy improves physical health and reduces stress. Men in happy
marriages also are more productive at work because they are less distracted by concerns at home.
What are the Benefits to women? The closer communication and emotional intimacy in an equal partnership
greatly benefit women. Research shows that having an equal say in decision making is the most important
contributor to wives’ perception of their marriages as happy and satisfying. Wives are happier when their
husbands appreciate them for the work they do in the home and when their husbands are copartners in home
matters. They feel better about themselves, are less angry or depressed, feel their relationship is more equitable,
and are happier with their marriage.
In conclusion, taking into account mutual respect
1. The teacher will ask “What is the speaker’s purpose and to whom does he intend to give this speech?”
2. The teacher will ask “What is the issue presented in the speech?”
3. The teacher will ask “What is the stand of the speaker on this issue?”
4. The teacher will ask “Are there words that are not familiar?”
5. The teacher will discuss the following context clues to unlock the unfamiliar words.
Context clues are words that surround an unfamiliar word that give clues to the word’s meaning.
An unfamiliar word is directly defined in a sentence in which it appears.
Synonym: a word with a similar meaning may be stated to help define the unfamiliar word
Antonym: a word that is opposite the unfamiliar word may also be stated as a clue
Inference: an unfamiliar word can be assumed with both prior knowledge and the context in which
the word sits

Equal Partnership in Marriage

2. How can the author’s point of view help you evaluate and detect bias?
II. Development of the lesson
1. The teacher will explain author’s bias and text structure.
Common Core Reading Standard 1: Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make
logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support
conclusions drawn from the text. (11th-12th Grade)
Common Core Reading Standard 2: Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and
interact over the course of a text.
Common Core Reading Standard 3: Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including
determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices
shape meaning or tone.
Common Core Reading Standard 4: Assess how point of view or purpose shapes the content and style
of a text.
Common Core Reading Standard 5: Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse formats and
media, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words. Common Core Reading Standard 8:
Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the
reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence.
Common Core Reading Standard 6: Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in
order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take.
Common Core Reading Standard 7: Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts
independently and proficiently. Readers must examine the structure of the text itself in order to
understand the author's purpose. "Text structure” refers to how information is organized in a passage.
Active readers test the logic, credibility, and emotional impact of the writer's craft. They can then determine if
the author possesses any bias or prejudice. A biased author may not provide objective information or develop a
logical argument to support his or her opinions.

Activity 2
1. The teacher will let the class examine the author’s biases from this selection given.
A Heroic Story
A man on a motor bike is riding by the zoo when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s enclosure.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the
eyes of her screaming parents.
The man jumps off his bike, runs to the cage, and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified
parents, who thank him endlessly.
A news paper reporter has seen the whole scene and, addressing the biker, says, “Sir, this was the most
gallant and brave thing I ever saw a man do in my whole life.”
“Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt
right.”
“Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have
this on the first page. By the way what football team do you support?”
The following morning the man buys the newspaper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads
on the front page:
CLOSURE:
1. The teacher will ask “What do you think is the purpose of the author in the given selection?”
Day 2:
I. Motivation
II. Development of the lesson
1. The teacher will teach how to write persuasive speech.
o Attention Getting Device: Start your speech off with a quotation, a short narrative, a mind blowing
statistic—anything to wow your audience and grab their attention. Make sure your AGD is topical,
though. You don’t want to start off your speech praising Ryan Gosling’s good looks when the subject is
clean city water.
o Common Ground: In order to be persuasive, you need to establish common ground with your audience.
They need to feel directly connected to the problem. Think about what you have in common with your
audience—their values, interests, shared experiences—which can relate back to your topic.
o Thesis: The thesis is simply your solution statement. Use it as a call to action for the audience. Example:
“We need to find affordable and sustainable ways to produce clean water.”
o Preview: This is the easiest piece of the introduction to write because, at its core, it’s the same for every
speech. Give the audience a roadmap, or signposts, of the next three big points you’ll be discussing. In a
persuasive speech, your signposts are typically the problems, causes, and solutions. Example: “Let’s first
learn more about this pressing problem, next identify the causes of unclean water, and finally establish
some solutions.”
o Problems: This is where you’ll describe the problem you chose to discuss. First, restate the problem.
Next, you’ll need to give evidence supporting your claim. Use articles, journals, and statistics to assert
your problem exists, is significant, and has harms associated with it. You could have a source for each of
those areas (existence, significance, and harms) and make sure you articulate these ideas in a logical
format. Tip:
o Transition: Give a transition statement explaining to the audience you are now changing subjects.
Example: “Now that we understand the problem, let’s take a look at the causes.”
o Causes: Start off with a statement of the causes (there are usually more than one) of the problems. Don’t
forget to use evidence! End this section with a statement as to why the status quo (how things are now)
won’t solve the problem.
o Transition: Give a transition statement explaining to the audience you are now changing subjects.
Example: “Now that we understand the causes, let’s take a look at the solutions.”
o Solutions: State your solution. (This should be a restatement of the thesis). Then explain in detail how
your solution will work. Ask yourself, how will my solution be implemented? How will it be executed?
DELIVERY
Style
Delivery is of the utmost importance in persuasive speaking. If you are not perceived as trustworthy,
knowledgeable, and interesting, your topic will be dismissed by the audience. Work on creating a dynamic,
energized, and enthusiastic delivery style for this speech. You will be speaking extemporaneously using a key
word outline on note cards. You will be graded on how well you communicate directly with the audience. The
following will also be taken into account: animatedness and enthusiasm, physical groundedness, eye contact
with audience, voice (speed, volume, vocal variety), professional appearance, distracting verbals/nonverbal,
and projected confidence and credibility.
Speaker’s Notes
You MAY use index cards, but only put key words or phrases on them. The most important quality of your
delivery is that you communicate conversationally with the audience, using good eye contact. If your notes are
too detailed, you may have a hard time doing this. You will be required to turn in your speaking notes at the
end of your speech.
Rehearsal
REHEARSE, REHEARSE, REHEARSE! Make sure you practice this speech OUT LOUD! Practice it as you
truly plan to deliver it! It is imperative that you start rehearsing this speech early, since it may be the most
difficult of the presentations you will give. You may be required to rehearse with a rehearsal partner (in class)
before you speak and with an outside partner. You should take a page of notes as you listen to a partner’s
speech and give them the most honest and helpful feedback possible.
Activity 1.
1. The teacher will ask “Can persuasive techniques be used in an informative essay? Why or why not?
When do you use it?”
Activity 2.
1. The teacher will let the student write their own persuasive essay on a cause that you would like to
support. E.g. on saving mother Earth, anti-bullying, etc.
Closure
1. The teacher will asks “How do the techniques on persuasive writing help you in achieving your
purpose of convincing your target audience?”
