Introduction
|
|
Good morning class!
|
Good morning Ms. Abby it’s nice to see you.
|
It’s nice to see you too class, you may take
your seat now.
|
Thank You Ms. Abby.
|
Very good, but before we proceed, I would like
to ask your class monitor who were absent for today.
|
None Ma’am.
|
Very Good! It’ good to know that no one is
absent today. Let us start now.
|
B. Review of
Past Lesson
|
|
Last
time we studied about summarizing and paraphrasing.
|
Yes
Ma’am.
|
Class
what do you mean by Summarizing?
|
(Students
will raise their hands)
|
Yes
Andrew?
|
Ma’am
a summary is a succinct account of a work and it is shorter than the original
work.
|
Very
good! And last, yes Ma. Lyn?
|
Ma’am
a summary is selective and it telescopes much into little.
|
Okay
Very good! Next, what do you mean by Paraphrasing?
|
(Students
will raise their hands)
|
Yes
Ma. Lyn
|
Ma’am
a paraphrase is generally equal the length of the text being paraphrase. And
it follows the structure or the order of details of the text.
|
Very
good! And last, Andrew can you differentiate a Summary with a Paraphrase?
|
Ma’am
a paraphrase is inclusive and it depends on the structure of the text. While
a summary is selective and it does not follow the structure of the text.
|
Very
good class. I’m glad that you still remember our last topic. And now we can
finally move on in our new topic.
|
C. Motivation
|
|
Now class, Did you experience traveling in
different places?
|
Yes Ma’am.
|
Did you learn something from your adventure or
journey?
|
Answers will vary.
|
If yes, what are the things that you’ve learned
during your travel in that place/s?
|
Answers will vary.
|
Very good class. Good answers. And now, we can
move on to our next topic.
|
Yes Ma’am.
|
D. Discussion
|
|
Class, today we are going to discuss a essay
entitled, “The Art of Travelling” by Wilferd A. Peterson
|
Yes Ma’am.
|
Have you heard about the essay?
|
No Ma’am.
|
That’s good because today I am going to discuss
it to you.
|
Yes Ma’am.
|
And here’s a copy of the essay. I will give you
5 to 10 minutes to read it and afterwards we start our discussion.
|
Yes Ma’am.
|
The
Art of Traveling
|
|
When
you pack your bags to explore the beauties of your own country or to travel
around the world, consider these keys to a happy journey.
Travel
lightly. You
are not traveling for people to see you!
Travel Slowly. Jet planes are for getting
place, not seeing places.
Take time to absorb the beauty and inspiration
of a mountain or a cathedral.
Travel expectantly. Every place you visit is
like a surprise package to be opened. Untie the strings with an expectation
of high adventure.
Travel
hopefully. “To
travel hopefully,” wrote Robert Louis Stevenson, “is better than to arrive.”
Travel humbly.
Visit people
and places with reverence and respect for their traditions and ways of Life.
Travel
courteously.
Consideration for your fellow travelers and your hosts will smooth the way
through the most difficult days.
Travel
gratefully.
Show appreciation for the many things that are being done by others for your
enjoyment and comfort.
Travel with an
open mind.
Leave your prejudice at home.
Travel with
curiosity.
It is not how far you go, but how deeply you go that mines the gold of
experience. Thoreau wrote a big book about tiny Walden Pond.
Travel with
imagination.
As the old Spanish proverb puts it: “He who would bring home the wealth of
the Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with hm.”
Travel
fearlessly.
Banish worry and timidity, the world and its people belong to you just as you
belong to the world.
Travel
relaxed.
Make up your mind to have a good time. Let go and let God.
Travel
patiently.
It takes time to understand others, especially when there are barriers of
language and custom; keep flexible and adaptable to all situations.
Travel with
the spirit of a world citizen.
You’ll discover that people are basically much the same the world around. Be
an ambassador of goodwill to all people.

essay. Can someone define the meaning of the word art?
|
Answers will

consider traveling as an art? Why? Why not?
|
Answers will
vary.
|

writer say that every place we visit is like a surprise package to be opened?

Answers will

|
What struck
you most while you were reading the essay?
|
Answers will
vary.
|
Do you have
any question regarding the essay?
|
None Ma’am.
(But if there are questions, the teacher will address questions regarding the
text or story.)
|
Very good

the essay and learn something from it.
