C. Activity

Now, I have a prepared activity but before

anything else the class will be divided into
four groups. I will give you 3 minutes to
do the activity. Start now.
Directions: Arrange the jumbled letters to
form the correct answer. Put the answer
in a manila paper and paste it on the
board.
1. RACHATERCS 1. CHARACTERS
2. GETTINS 2. SETTING

5. SOLUTIONER 5. RESOLUTION
D. Analysis

an idea, what will be our topic for today?
Very good. Clap your hands!

So, we have the five elements of the story

the characters, setting, plot, conflict, and
resolution.
1. Characters
We all know what is a character in the Yes ma’am, a person or an animal that
story right? has a role in the story.
Very good! It is an individual that has a
role in the story. When we say
Protagonist, it is the main character of the
story. When we say Antagonist a
character that opposes the protagonist. A
Dynamic character or a round character is
that changes a character throughout the
story it is complex and has many sides.
The static or flat character is a character
that never changes throughout the story.

Again, protagonist is the? Main character or a hero in the story.

Very good! How about the antagonist? It is the one who opposes the main
character.
A dynamic character is? Is a character that changes throughout
the story.
When we say static or flat character? Is a character that never changes
throughout the story.
2. Setting
Excellent! Now the setting of the story
talks about the time and place where is
the story happened.
For example: Longtime ago, there was a
pretty young girl named Cinderella.
Cinderella’s home is in faraway kingdom
living her step mother and two step
sisters.
Now, who can identify the setting of the (Students raise the right hand to answer)
story? The setting of the story is the longtime
Okay, please stand. ago and Cinderella’s home is in faraway
kingdom.
Very good, clap your hands!
3. Plot
The Plot in the story is the actual story
around which the entire book is based.
Plot is the term for the events that take
place in a story and how they relate to
each other. When we summarize a story,
we’re usually describing its plot.
Did you know that a plot has 5 parts?
1. Exposition - introduces the
reader to the setting and
characters.
2. Inciting incident - this event
creates the central conflict or
struggle.
3. The development - part of the
story where the struggle takes
place.
4. The climax - the high point of
interest and suspense in the story.
5. The resolution - point at which
the conflict is ended, or resolved.
Again, a plot is? Is which the entire book is based.
When we are summarizing a story, it Yes, it is usually describing the plot.
usually describing the plot or not?
4. Conflict
When you hear the word conflict what do Challenges ma'am or problem.
you mean by that?
Okay, very good! conflict usually it is a
problem in a story. There are the things
that the main character wants or needs to
do, and then there are the things that get
in the way of what he or she wants to do.
That’s usually the conflict.
5. Resolution
How about the word resolution? The problem is being solved ma'am.
Thank you for that. The solution to the
problem is the way the action is resolved.
It is important that the resolution fit the
rest of the story in tone and creativity and
solve all parts of the conflict.
E. Abstraction

So now, we already know the five

elements of a story. Now let’s answer this
activity.

1. A struggle or problem a character in a 1. Conflict

story must overcome. 2. Setting
2. The time and location in which a story 3. Plot
takes place.
