III. Procedure
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Routine Activities
1. Opening Prayer and Greetings
“Good Morning Class!” “Good Morning Ma’am!”

“Stand up and let’s pray.” (The students stand up.)

“Who will lead the prayer for today?” “Kristine, Ma’am.”

“Okay.”
(The students stand up and pray.)
ALL:
“Dear God,
Thank you for looking after our school. Thank
you for loving us. Please help us to learn, play
and share together so that the world you
made becomes beautiful every day.

Amen.”

“Before you sit down, please pick the pieces (The students pick up the dirt under their
of paper or dirt under your chairs and throw chairs and throw them in the trash can.)
them to the trash can. Do it now.”
“Please sit down. Who are absent today?” “None, Ma’am!”

“Very good. Refrain from being absent or late

so that you wouldn’t be missing any lessons. “Yes, Ma’am.”
All of these are going to be part of your 4th
periodical exam. Understood?”

“I told you to read “The Little Prince by Yes Maam!”

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, right?”

“Very good! Later, we are going to discuss

about The Little Prince.”

B. REVIEW

“Let’s have a recap of what has transpired (The students raise their hand.)
yesterday. What did we do yesterday?”

“Yes, Cj.” “Yesterday, we watched a video entitled “It’s

More Fun in the Philippines.”

“What did you see in the video?” “I saw how diverse our country is. We have
beautiful beaches like the famous Boracay.”

“Very Good. Anything else?” (The students raise their hand.)

“Joyce” “We discussed about Primary and Secondary

Sources.”

“Differentiate the two.” “Primary Sources are original documents

written by the author who witnessed the
information or ideas personally. However,
secondary sources are sources wherein the
author uses primary sources in order to
produce another source which is the
secondary source.”

(The students raise their hand.)

“Very well said. Can you give an example?”
“Examples of Primary Source are
“Yes, Jason?” photographs, emails, video tape, and
government documents. For secondary
sources, we have criticisms to literature,
music, etc. and researches.”
“Very good. Thank you. You have to “None Ma’am!”
remember these types of sources because
you can use them in your research or even in
the future. Do you have any questions?”

C. UNLOCKING OF DIFFICULTIES
“Please proceed to page 410 on your book, (The students answer the activity.)
Task 4: Word Match. These are the words
you are going to encounter in the story The
Little Prince. Please get a ¼ sheet of paper.
Answers only. Match each words to its
corresponding meaning.”
“Let’s answer your activity. Exchange papers (The students exchange papers with their
with the person in front of you.” classmate in front of them.)

(The students ask the students to answer (The students answer the activity.)
each question aloud.)

Task 4: Word Match (Page 410)

A.
1. tame
2. neglect
3. sigh
4. burrow
5. rite
6. essential
B.
a. to take a deep audible breath
b. no longer wild
c. to fail to give the proper care or attention
d. a ceremonial act
e. necessary; important
f. a hole dug as a living space by small
animals
g. a pointless star
“Count all the correct answers and put your (The students count their score and give it
score at the upper right corner of the paper. back to the owner.)
Give back the paper to the owner.”

D. MOTIVATION
“I’ll play a video and I want you to pay
attention it. Later, you share your insights
about the video you just watched.
(The video starts.)

(The video ends.) (The students watch the video carefully.)

“What did you notice from the video?”

“Bran” (The students raise their hand.)

“The video is very inspiring. As we can see in

the video, the man helps people even if he
doesn’t know them personally. He doesn’t
choose which one to help for as long as he
has the ability to help, he helps.”
“Very good. The man was helping people
whom he even never know personally. He is
obviously financially unstable as well but (The students raise their hand.)
then he still chose to help them anyway.
Another answer?”

“Larry.”
“Kindness is free as well as love and care
toward other people. Sometimes, we just
need a little bit of kindness to make
everything fine. Despite of his situation, he
never hesitated to help and give smiles to
other people, even his dog was given the
equal attention.”
“Correct. Kindness is free so might as well
spread it. Do you know that the meanest
people need it? Because they are full of hate
and anger that they forget to feel kind.
Someone cannot give what he/she doesn’t
have. A person full of anger and hate will not
spread kindness because he/she is blinded
with negative emotions. That’s why, be a ball
of sunshine to everyone and spread kindness.
This world needs it the most especially love.
Understood?” “Yes Ma’am!”

E. LESSON PROPER

“You read The Little Prince, right?”

“Yes, Ma’am!”
“Go page 410. Use the back of your ¼ paper
and answer Task 5: Background Check. Put a
(√) check mark if you agree and put an (X)
mark if you disagree. Write down the page “None, Ma’am!”
number of where you find the answer to
each statement.”

“Are you done?”

“No, Ma’am!”
“2 minutes more starts now.”

“Exchange papers with the person in front of

you.” (The students exchange papers.)

“Let’s check your papers. Use only red ball

pen.”

“The Fox immediately becomes a friend of

the Little Prince. Do you agree or disagree?” (The students raise their hand.)

“Yes Mark?”
“Disagree.”
“Why do you say so?”
“Because the Little Prince was still trying to
know the Fox. Also, the Little Prince has to
tame the Fox first before they became
friends and the Fox wasn’t tamed instantly
because they had to go rituals first. “
“Very good. What page number?”
(The students raise their hand.)
“Maria”
“Page 411-413”
“Very good. 2 points for every number. 1
point for the agree/disagree column and 1
point for the page number. Next number.”

“2. The Little Prince is willing to tame the Fox.

Agree or disagree?” (The students raise their hand.)

“Jerome”
“I agree because if the Little prince would
tame the Fox, he would have a friend.”
“Very good. What page number?”
(The students raise their hand.)
“Joshua”
“Page 413.”
“Next. The Fox instructed the Little Prince
about the “rite” that he must perform.” (The students raise their hand.)

“Jane”
“Agree because the Little Prince was finally
taming the Fox.”
“Very good. And what page number?”
(The students raise their hand.)
“Derek”
“Page 413”
“Correct. The Fox cried when the Little Prince
left.” (The students raise their hand.)

“Marco”
“Agree. The Fox cried when the Little Prince
was leaving the Fox already.”
“What did the Little Prince tell the Fox when
he said he’s going to cry?” “He said that it’s the Fox fault because he
wanted him to tame him and he never
wished to do harm to him.”
“Very good. What page number?”
(The students raise their hand.)

“Jessie” “Page 413.”

“Correct. Once a person tames something, it (The students raise their hand.)
becomes special. Agree or Disagree?”

“Mikee” Agree. Just like what happened to the Fox

and the Little Prince, they became friends
“Today, we are going to get to know the once the Little Prince tamed the Fox.”
author of The Little Prince. This is going to be
a brief introduction about the author so
please listen carefully.”

“The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-

Exupery (1900-1944”
“French writer and aviator born in Lyon and
educated at the University of Fribourg. He
joined the French Air Force in 1921 and
became a commercial pilot in 1926.”
“HIS FIRST TWO BOOKS:
• Southern Mail (1929)
• Night Flight (1931)
These novels are distinguished by a poetic
evocation of the romance and discipline of
flying, which requires devotion to duty at the
risk of death. “

“HIS LATER WORKS:

• Wind, Sand and Stars (1939)
• Flight to Arras (1942)
Stress the humanistic philosophy of Saint-
Exupery.”

“THE LITTLE PRINCE (1943)

• His popular children’s book is also
read by adults for its allegorical
meaning.”

“Very good. Proceed to page 414 and let’s

answer the processing questions.”

“Who are the characters in the excerpt?

Describe each. “
(The students raise their hand.)
“Yes Angel.”
“The Little Prince 
The novel is named after the Little Prince,
who is a mystical and loveable person. He is
the sole inhabitant of a small planet, which
the narrator refers to as B-612.

The Fox 
The Little Prince meets the fox in the desert.
The fox is a wise creature, which teaches the
Prince about the essence of life.”
“Very good. How important is the “rite” or
“ritual” of taming in the friendship of the
Little Prince and the Fox?
(The students raise their hand.)
“Yes Jacob?”
“The Little Prince and the Fox will finally
become friends.”
“Very good. Next question. Do you think you
have tamed another and have been tamed as
well?” “Yes Ma’am.”

“Give an example.”
(The students raise their hand.)
“Yes Mica.”
“In building relationship with people, we
have to understand them despite of their
individual differences and uniqueness no
matter who they are. We have to know that
everyone is different from each other.”
“Very good. “

F. VALUES INTEGRATION
“So, how can we relate this lesson into our
lives” “Understanding each other’s differences is
very important in order for us to build
“Right! Isn’t President Duterte visits other relationships”
country to build ties? In building ties, we
have to understand deeply everything about
someone or something. Despite of our
differences, we must have a very good
communication skills so that we will be able
to get information and put them solely in our
hearts and minds.”

G. APPLICATION
“For your activity. Please go to page 415 Task
6 Sensations. You get ½ crosswise and work
on triad. Describe the Little Prince and the
Fox by writing a sentence that would appeal
to the senses. Be sure to use words that will
create pictures in the minds of your readers.
Let the graphic organizer below help you in
this activity.

“Do you have any questions?” “None Ma’am!”

“If you don’t have any questions, you may

start now.” (The students work on triad.)

“Time is up. Let’s start answering your

activity. “
(The students check the activity.)
(After 15 minutes)

(The teacher asks the teachers to check the

activity.)
(The students raise their hand.)
“How do you think the little prince sounds
like? “The little prince sounds very soft when he
speaks because he is still little. He is very
“Yes Kate?” adorable to listen to as well because of how
curious they are.”

“Very good!”

“How about the sense of taste? How do you (The students raise their hand.)
think the little prince tastes like? You can
describe him through his travel in different
planets. If you were to eat or taste the little
prince, how would you describe him?”
“I think the little prince would taste like
“Yes Jimmy?” sweat because of the continuous travelling
and new environment every now and then.”
(The students laugh.)
“Jimmy has a point class. Imagine yourself
always travelling to different planets. Put
yourself in his situation. If someone were to
taste you, what do you would you taste like?
You might as well taste the same, right? Or
you can taste like a fresh tomato since you
are still young.”
(The students raise their hand.)
“How about the sense of touch? How do you
think the little prince feels like when you
touch him? “I think the little prince would feel very
smooth and soft since he is still young.
“Micaella”

(The students raise their hand.)

“Yes, that’s right! How about for the sense of
sight?”
“The little prince is very cute, handsome and
“Yes, Jacob?” unique because of his yellow hair as well.”

(The students raise their hand.)

“Yes, very good! The Little Prince can be
adorable because of his height or weight. His “I think the Little Prince smells like feet or
whole appearance that our naked eye can sweat because he is always travelling to
see. How about the sense of smell? How can different planets.”
you describe his smell?”

“Yes Mike?” (The students raise their hand.)

“Very good description. We can say that the

Little Prince smells like feet or sweat or can
be both at the same time. Let us proceed
now to the Fox. How do you think the Fox
sounds like?”

“Diego” “I think the Fox smells like an animal who

hasn’t take a bath for a long time.”
“Would give me a specific example?” “I think the Fox somehow smells like rotten
meat because Fox hunts their prey as their
meal.”

“Very good! You have good point. The Fox

might smell like rotten meat of an animal
because it hunts animals. The blood of the
killed animal can stain the Fox with its blood.
That’s why there’s a tendency that the Fox
smells like that.”

“How about the sense of taste? Describe the (The students raise their hand.)
taste of Fox.”

“Angelo” “The fox tastes like a probably a rotten meat

in a very awful way because the Fox eats
another species and the animals the Fox is
eating might be eating an animal as well. I
think it doesn’t taste like a regular meat like
the meat that we eat.”

“Very good. The Fox might taste awful (The students raise their hand.)
because of what it eats. The Fox eats another
animal which is dirt and that animal might as
well be eating different kinds of animals.
Remember what we take in our body defines
what’s inside our body. For example, if you
eat vegetables then you are going to have a
healthy body but if you eat almost
preservatives then of course there will be
complications in your body. How about the
sense of touch?”

“Jerome”
“I think the Fox’s texture might be woolly.
Like the one a sheep has? Because they don\t
“Very good. Since animals in the wild do not take a bath so the tendency the Fox’s skin
take a bath like what we do with our pets. would be woolly.”
That is a very good observation.”
(The students raise their hand.)
“What about the sense of smell? How does
the Fox smells like?”
“The Fox smells like an animal who hasn’t
“Jane” taken a bath for a long period of time
because it’s been hunted by humans. The Fox
just prefers to hide instead of roaming
around.”

“Very good. Who among you would think

that the Fox would smell fresh or, etc. (The students raise their hand.)
knowing that it has been living in the wild
without having the chance to even take a
bath or even know how to take care of
himself. What about the sense of sight?”

“Yes, Jaymee.” “The Fox is a medium sized animal but you

can see sadness in his eyes as well as
excitement when he saw the Little Prince.”
“Very good. Despite of him being one of the
animals people scared of, based on the story
we can still see in his eyes the longing for
someone who could be with him.”

(Checking of the activity ends.)

H. GENERALIZATION
