C. Lesson Presentation
Okay class, you will encounter these words

when you are reading the short story for today.
The title of the short story for today is The Last Yes, sir
Leaf. But, before reading the story, let’s find
out more about its author.
Activity 2. More about the Author
William Sidney Porter or known by his

pseudonym, O. Henry, was born on Sept. 11,
1862 in Greensboro, North Carolina, U.S. and
died on June 5, 1910 in New York. His stories
expressed the effect of coincidence on
character through humour, grim or ironic, and
often had surprise endings, a device that
became identified with his name and cost him
critical favour when its vogue had passed.
Porter attended a school taught by his aunt,
then clerked in his uncle’s drugstore. In 1882
he went to Texas, where he worked on a ranch,
in a general land office, and later as teller in
the First National Bank in Austin. He began
writing sketches at about the time of his
marriage to Athol Estes in 1887, and in 1894
he started a humorous weekly, The Rolling
Stone. When that venture failed, Porter joined
the Houston Post as reporter, columnist, and
occasional cartoonist.
In 1902 O. Henry arrived in New York. From
December 1903 to January 1906 he produced
a story a week for the New York World, writing
also for magazines. His first book, Cabbages
and Kings (1904), depicted fantastic
characters against exotic Honduran
backgrounds. Both The Four Million (1906)
and The Trimmed Lamp (1907)—in which his
short story, The Last Leaf was compiled—
explored the lives of the multitude of New York
in their daily routines and searchings for
romance and adventure.
Now you know the author of the story and his Yes, sir
background. And since all of you have read the
story at home, we now move to the next
activity.
D. Lesson Proper
Activity 3. To the Last Leaf
The next activity is called To the Last Leaf.
In this activity, there will be 24 numbers Yes, sir

flashed on screen. Behind each number, there
is a question related to the short story. Each
group should pick one number and answer the
question. Every group will be given 5 seconds
to answer. Each correct is worth 150 points. If
a group cannot answer the question or answer
it correctly, another group will have to answer
the question, and thus the points will belong to
them. But you have to be careful when
choosing the numbers because there are
surprises hiding behind some numbers. Is it all
clear for you?
For the group who got the highest point in The
Crosswords, they can choose a number for the
first.
