Activity 3 Help one another!

Directions: The class will be divided into three (3) groups, select a presenter
to share your output based on the given topic. Each group should give
example/s for further understanding.
Group 1 – The direct and indirect characterization
Group 2 – Elements of plot
Group 3 – The When, Where, Why and How
Remember these …
There are two methods of describing characters: the direct and

indirect characterization. Direct characterization is what the
author or narrator tells about the character. On the other hand,
indirect characterization is what we learned about a character for
ourselves.
Point of view includes; first person (the author/narrator is inside
the story), Third person Omniscient (the author is outside the
story but still tells what the characters are thinking); and Third
person limited (the author is outside the story and gives the
feeling of a single character).
The elements of a plot make up a sequence called the 5 C’s ;
Characters, Conflict (Man vs Man, Man vs Himself, Man vs
Society, Man vs. Nature and Man vs. Fate), Complications, Climax
and Conclusions.
Where and when answers the setting of the story; Why answers
the meaning/theme/ point of the story, and How answers the
Point of View or Perspective (tone, mood, diction and figurative
language.

Activity 7 Read Pair and Share!

Direction: Read “A creation story from Luzon” and discuss it with your pair.
A CREATION STORY OF LUZON
When the world first began there was no land, but only the sea and the
sky, and between them was a kite (a bird something like a hawk). One day
the bird which had nowhere to light grew tired of flying about, so she stirred
up the sea until it threw its waters against the sky. The sky, in order to
restrain the sea, showered upon it many islands until it could no longer rise,
but ran back and forth. Then the sky ordered the kite to light on one of the
islands to build her nest, and to leave the sea and the sky in peace. Now at
this time the land breeze and the sea breeze were married, and they had a
child which was a bamboo. One day when this bamboo was floating about on
the water, it struck the feet of the kite which was on the beach. The bird,
angry that anything should strike it, pecked at the bamboo, and out of one
section came a man and from the other a woman. Then the earthquake
called on all the birds and fish to see what should be done with these two,
and it was decided that they should marry. Many children were born to the
couple, and from them came all the different races of people. After a while
the parents grew very tired of having so many idle and useless children
around, and they wished to be rid of them, but they knew of no place to send
them to. Time went on and the children became so numerous that the
parents enjoyed no peace. One day, in desperation, the father seized a stick
and began beating them on all sides. This so frightened the children that
they flee in different directions, seeking hidden rooms in the house -- some
concealed themselves in the walls, some ran outside, while others hid in the
fireplace, and several fled to the sea. Now it happened that those who went
into the hidden rooms of the house later became the chiefs of the islands;
and those who concealed themselves in the walls became slaves. Those who
ran outside were free men; and those who hid in the fireplace became
Negroes; while those who fled to the sea were gone many years, and when
their children came back they were the white people.
