Analysis:
Seven Ages of Man By

William Shakespeare All
the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players; They
have their exits and their entrances, And one man in
his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.
At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s
arms;
And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And
shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to
school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his
mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in
honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble
reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, In fair
round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe
and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he
plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean
and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His
youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his
shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again
toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound.
Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful
history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth,
sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
TASK 4: READ AND DISCOVER
1. The teacher reads the poem.

2. A video of the poem will be shown to the class.
Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3NEtCtx7Pg

III. LEARNING TASKS
Introduction: Word stress is considered a ―magic key‖ in understanding spoken English. Being
a part of the English language, it is a tool that non-native speakers can use to communicate
accurately and fluently.
TASK 1: MIND YOUR SYLLABICATION

What is ―syllable‖ in Filipino? Give samples of Filipino words and
indicate the number of syllables. Provide the English equivalent of the
words and likewise identify the number of syllables. Notice how the
words are pronounced. Do all syllables receive the same degree of
emphasis?

 What do you think is the factor/factors that affected the understanding of the meaning
of the sentence?
Analysis:
TASK 3: STRESS IT OUT!
Based on the first activity, answer the following questions:
 How does pronunciation affect the meaning of the word/message?

 Can you cite some instances where you have been misunderstood because of the
way you said something/pronounced a word(s)?
 Is it possible to avoid those kinds of instances? How?
Abstraction:
Stress is the relative force or prominence given to a syllable or word. Improper

use of stress may result in a difference in the meaning of utterance that can cause
misunderstanding.
TASK 4: WHERE‟S MY WORD?

Below is a list of words and jumbled list of stress patterns. With your group, match
and pair the words with their corresponding stress pattern. Post your output on
the board and as a group, read

There are five types of imagery. Try rearranging the letters to find out the term for each type of
imagery.
S L I U V A
imagery is the use of figurative language to address our sense of
vision. In that way, the reader can visualize what is happening in the story in her or his own
mind.
T R D U I A O Y
imagery is the use of figurative language to address to our sense
of hearing. To create a complete mental picture in the minds of the reader about the
incident in the story, the writer incorporates a description of the sounds too.
F O Y R L A O C T
imagery is the using figurative language to address to our sense of
smell.
G A T U S Y O R T
imagery is using words to address to our taste buds. This way the
writer is capable of making us taste the food he or she is describing in the story.
A E I L C T T
imagery is addresses our sense of touch or that which we can feel
with our skin.

TASK 2: LOOKING CLOSELY

Examine the following paragraphs. Try finding the words in which you find errors
in capitalization.
Source: http://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/language_arts/capitial/1/
Analysis:
What did you notice about some words in the composition? Can you derive the
rules on capitalization based from the miswritten words?
Capitals for Proper Nouns
 Capitalize all proper nouns.
e.g. Makati Avenue, Dusit Hotel, Boracay, North America, Rowena Reyes, Istanbul
 Capitalize names of specific events and times.
e.g. Asean Summit, World War II, Ramadan, Easter, Thanksgiving Day
 Capitalize the names of various organizations, government bodies, political parties,
nationalities and languages.
e.g. Rotary Club, Red Cross, Republican Party, Liberal Party, British, Mandarin, Spanish, Latin
 Capitalize references to religions, deities, and religious scriptures.
e.g. Islam, Christianity, Buddha, Allah, Koran, Bible, Revelation, Genesis
Capitals for Proper Adjectives

 Capitalize most proper adjectives.
e.g. Korean people, Thai culture, Mexican foods, Paris fashions, Spanish epoch,
Nicaraguan accent
Capitals for Titles

 Capitalize a person‘s title when it is followed by the person‘s name or used in direct address.
e.g. Atty. Jun Yanilla, Miss Edna Ravida, Admiral John Tan, Reverend Tim Chua
 Capitalize all important words in compound titles but do not capitalize prefixes and suffixes
added to the titles.
e.g. Commander-in-Chief , Vice President, ex – Senator Salonga

 Capitalize titles showing family relationships when they refer to specific person, unless they
are preceded by a possessive noun or pronoun.
e.g. Yesterday, Uncle Ben was so happy. Did
Sister Beth arrive on time?
Our aunt forgot her keys.
Tanya‘s grandmother once played the violin.

 Capitalize abbreviations of titles before and after names.
e.g. before names: Mr., Ms., Mrs., Rev., Gen. after
names: Sr., Jr., Ph.D.
 Capitalize the first word and all other key words in titles of books, periodicals, poems, stories,
plays, paintings, and other work of arts. All words in a title should be capitalized except
articles, prepositions , and conjunctions fewer than five letters. These words are capitalized
only when they are the first word of the title.
e.g. The Pretenders, Romeo and Juliet, On the Road to Recovery, The Lives of the Caesars
Capitals for Sentences

 Capitalize the first word in declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory sentences.
e.g. Our company will raise the salary of regular workers, Have you
file your report?
Bring the raw materials. What
an amazing journey!
 Capitalize the first word in a quotation if it is a complete sentence.
e.g. She said, ―The children are exhausted.‖

The Battle with Grendel
from Beowulf translated by
Burton Raffel
Epic 4
Out from the marsh, from the foot of misty Hills and
bogs, bearing God‘s hatred, Grendel came, hoping to
kill
Anyone he could trap on this trip to high Herot.
He moved quickly through the cloudy night, Up

from his swampland, sliding silently
Toward that gold-shining hall. He had visited Hrothgar‘s Home
before, knew the way—
But never, before nor after that night,
Found Herot defended so firmly, his reception So

harsh. He journeyed, forever joyless, Straight to the
door, then snapped it open, Tore its iron fasteners with
a touch,
And rushed angrily over the threshold.
He strode quickly across the inlaid

Floor, snarling and fierce: His eyes
Gleamed in the darkness, burned with a gruesome Light. Then
he stopped, seeing the hall Crowded with sleeping
warriors, stuffed
With rows of young soldiers resting together.
And his heart laughed, he relished the sight,

Intended to tear the life from those bodies By
morning; the monster‘s mind was hot
With the thought of food and the feasting his belly Would soon
know. But fate, that night, intended
Grendel to gnaw the broken bones Of his

last human supper. Human Eyes were
watching his evil steps, Waiting to see his
swift hard claws. Grendel snatched at the
first Geat
He came to, ripped him apart, cut His

body to bits with powerful jaws,
Drank the blood from his veins, and bolted Him
down, hands and feet; death
And Grendel‘s great teeth came together,
Snapping life shut. Then he stepped to another Still body,

clutched at Beowulf with his claws, Grasped at a strong-
hearted wakeful sleeper
—And was instantly seized himself, claws Bent back
as Beowulf leaned up on one arm.
That shepherd of evil, guardian of crime, Knew at

once that nowhere on earth
Had he met a man whose hands were harder; His mind
was flooded with fear—but nothing Could take his talons
and himself from that tight
Hard grip. Grendel‘s one thought was to run From

Beowulf, flee back to his marsh and hide there:
This was a different Herot than the hall he had emptied.
But Higlac‘s follower remembered his final Boast
and, standing erect, stopped
The monster‘s flight, fastened those claws In his

fists till they cracked, clutched Grendel
Closer. The infamous killer fought
For his freedom, wanting no flesh but retreat, Desiring
nothing but escape; his claws
Had been caught, he was trapped. That trip to Herot Was a

miserable journey for the writhing monster!
The high hall rang, its roof boards swayed, And
Danes shook with terror. Down The aisles the
battle swept, angry
And wild. Herot trembled, wonderfully Built to

withstand the blows, the struggling Great bodies
beating at its beautiful walls;
Shaped and fastened with iron, inside And out,
artfully worked, the building
Stood firm. Its benches rattled, fell

To the floor, gold-covered boards grating As
Grendel and Beowulf battled across them.
Hrothgar‘s wise men had fashioned Herot To stand
forever; only fire,
They had planned, could shatter what such skill had put Together,
swallow in hot flames such splendor
Of ivory and iron and wood. Suddenly The
sounds changed, the Danes started
In new terror, cowering in their beds as the terrible
Screams of the Almighty‘s enemy sang In the

darkness, the horrible shrieks of pain And defeat,
the tears torn out of Grendel‘s
Taut throat, hell‘s captive caught in the arms Of him
who of all the men on earth
Was the strongest.
That mighty protector of men Meant to

hold the monster till its life
Leaped out, knowing the fiend was no use To anyone
in Denmark. All of Beowulf‘s Band had jumped
from their beds, ancestral
Swords raised and ready, determined

To protect their prince if they could. Their courage Was great but
all wasted: They could hack at Grendel From every side, trying
to open
A path for his evil soul, but their points
Could not hurt him, the sharpest and hardest iron Could not
scratch at his skin, for that sin-stained demon Had bewitched all
men‘s weapons, laid spells
That blunted every mortal man‘s blade. And yet
his time had come, his days
Were over, his death near; down

To hell he would go, swept groaning and helpless To the
waiting hands of still worse fiends.
Now he discovered—once the afflictor
Of men, tormentor of their days—what it meant
To feud with Almighty God: Grendel

Saw that his strength was deserting him, his claws Bound
fast, Higlac‘s brave follower tearing at His hands. The
monster‘s hatred rose higher, But his power had gone.
He twisted in pain,
And the bleeding sinews deep in his shoulder Snapped, muscle

and bone split
And broke. The battle was over, Beowulf Had been
granted new glory: Grendel escaped,
But wounded as he was could flee to his den,
His miserable hole at the bottom of the marsh, Only to die,

to wait for the end
Of all his days. And after that bloody Combat the
Danes laughed with delight.
He who had come to them from across the sea,
Bold and strong-minded, had driven affliction Off,

purged Herot clean. He was happy, Now, with that
night‘s fierce work; the Danes
Had been served as he‘d boasted he‘d serve them; Beowulf, A prince of
the Geats, had killed Grendel,
Ended the grief, the sorrow, the suffering Forced on

Hrothgar‘s helpless people
By a bloodthirsty fiend. No Dane doubted The
victory, for the proof, hanging high
From the rafters where Beowulf had hung it, was the monster‘s
Arm, claw and shoulder and all.

And then, in the morning, crowds surrounded Herot,
warriors coming to that hall
From faraway lands, princes and leaders Of men
hurrying to behold the monster‘s
Great staggering tracks. They gaped with no sense Of sorrow,

felt no regret for his suffering,
Went tracing his bloody footprints, his beaten And lonely
flight, to the edge of the lake
Where he‘d dragged his corpselike way, doomed
And already weary of his vanishing life.

The water was bloody, steaming and boiling In
horrible pounding waves, heat
Sucked from his magic veins; but the swirling Surf had
covered his death, hidden
Deep in murky darkness his miserable End,

as hell opened to receive him.
Then old and young rejoiced, turned back
From that happy pilgrimage, mounted their hard-hooved
Horses, high-spirited stallions, and rode them Slowly

toward Herot again, retelling Beowulf‘s bravery as
they jogged along.
And over and over they swore that nowhere On earth
or under the spreading sky
Or between the seas, neither south nor north, Was

there a warrior worthier to rule over men. (But no one
meant Beowulf‘s praise to belittle Hrothgar, their kind
and gracious king!) . . .

So the thing to do when working on a motorcycle, as in any other task, is to cultivate the
peace of mind which does not separate one‘s self from one‘s
surroundings. When that is done successfully then everything else follows naturally. Peace
of mind produces right values, right values produce right thoughts. Right thoughts produce
right actions and right actions produce work which will be a material reflection for others
to see of the serenity at the center of it all.
—Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
With an artistic drama we empathize with one or more of its characters, but there‘s also a
distance between us and their situation—a safety valve that allows us to express a range of
emotions, but also to say, ―It‘s only a movie,‖
―It‘s only a play.‖, ―It‘s only a novel.‖ Work is based upon problem solving, how to
eliminate conflict and get the job done. Episodic is fine for work. We want day-by-day not
confrontational trauma—even if it would lead to life- changing revelation. But drama
exaggerates conflict, pushes situations to
their extreme and leads us to a big turning point.
In a poem entitled Four Great Poets, Robert Francis puts his finger on the heart of Frost‘s
greatness: ―His head carved out of granite O / His hair wayward drifts of snow / He
worshipped the great God of Flow / By holding on and letting go.‖ Here‘s an example from
part of one of Frost‘s lesser known pieces, For Once, Then, Something. In the first half he
says friends rebuke him for looking into a well and seeing only himself, reflected in the
water godlike in a wreath of ferns and cloud puffs. It‘s a criticism that could be aimed at
any writer, but what is as interesting as the meaning of Frost‘s
reply is this sense of movement that carries the reader forward to the climatic end.
DHAKA: Hosts Bangladesh will meet Pakistan in the opening match of the four-nation
Asia Cup cricket tournament starting in Dhaka in March, an official said on Monday. Old
rivals Pakistan and India will meet in a mouth- watering clash on March 18. The Sher-e-
Bangla National stadium will host all the matches, including the inaugural tie on March 12
and the final on March 22, Asian Cricket Council chief executive Syed Ashraful Huq said.
―All teams including India and Pakistan have confirmed their participation,‖ he said. India
won the last edition of the tournament in Dambulla in Sri Lanka in
June 2010.
Assessment:
TASK 4: CHECKPOINT
Identify the text type of the following articles as journalistic, informative, or literary.
1. There were once five-and-twenty tin soldiers, who were all brothers, for they had been made
out of the same old tin spoon. They shouldered arms and looked straight before them, and
wore a splendid uniform, red and blue. The first thing in the world they ever heard were the
words, "Tin soldiers!" uttered by a little boy, who clapped his hands with delight when the lid
of the box, in which they lay, was taken off. They were given him for a birthday present, and
he stood at the table to set them up. The soldiers were all exactly alike, excepting one, who
had only one leg; he had been left to the last, and then there was not enough of the melted tin
to finish him, so they made him to stand firmly on one leg, and this caused him to be very
remarkable.
2. What can we do to have a healthy circulatory system? Don't smoke! ...Take vitamin E to keep
the arteries supple. Eat those fresh vegetables and fruit that supply you with antioxidants –
very good for your heart. Eat fish instead of red meat – much better for your heart.
3. First identified in the 1950s, dengue is spread by the female Aedes aegypti mosquito; the first
documented cases were in the Philippines and Thailand. The disease has since struck
worldwide, with over 100 countries at risk and 390 million infections yearly. It takes 4-10
days to become obvious, with a high fever and flu-like symptoms. (But that‘s exactly what it‘s
not. It‘s important not to mistake it for the common flu.) It does not have a cure. The only
thing to be
pledge.
done is to maintain the patient‘s bodily fluids until the disease runs its course. It‘s crucial that
dengue be detected early, as the proper medical attention can lower mortality from 20 percent
to just under 1 percent. Left unchecked or identified, dengue kills.
4. True!-nervous--very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am! but why will you say that I
am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses--not destroyed--not dulled them. Above all
was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many
things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily--how calmly I can
tell you the whole story.
5. Arroyo, who was recently re-elected to a third term as Pampanga representative, received her
release papers from the Sandiganbayan after the high tribunal‘s ruling was released earlier in
the day saying the antigraft court erred in its findings that the former President personally
benefited from intelligence funds of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
6. Dengue cases rise by 36% nationwide, says DOH. For 39-year-old housewife Maribel, the
rainy season used to bring happy memories of her childhood as she and her siblings would
frolic in the heavy downpour. But not anymore. Not since a year ago when she almost lost her
8-year-old daughter to dengue hemorrhagic fever, the more severe form of dengue fever, a
viral infection transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
7. I was sick, sick unto death, with that long agony, and when they at length unbound me, and I
was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me. The sentence, the dread sentence of
death, was the last of distinct accentuation which reached my ears. After that, the sound of the
inquisitorial voices seemed merged in one dreamy indeterminate hum.
8. Nicotine is one of the most harmful and widely available legal drugs in the world. It's
addictive and harmful both to smokers and the people passively exposed to smoke, especially
children. If you'd like to give up smoking, but don't know where to begin, create a structured
plan.
9. President Duterte on Thursday appealed for an end to violence, ahead of his first address to
Congress in which he said he would call for an end to conflicts.
―I don‘t see anything good coming out of this war. For the sake of our children, we have to
stop this war,‖ the President told a gathering of government troops, policemen, people
displaced by conflict and local officials. It was Mr. Duterte‘s first visit to a province in the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) since assuming the presidency on June
30.
10. How to keep your hair healthy? Wash your hair two to three times a week. Avoid hot
showers. Shampoo your scalp, not your roots. Towel-dry your hair before applying
conditioner. Brush your hair twice a day, from the bottom up. Use a low-heat setting for hair-
drying and point the nozzle down, not side-on. Try castor oil, hair oil and dry shampoo.

The Day of Destiny
from Morte D‘Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory
Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte D’Arthur is the most complete single version of the tales of King Arthur and his
court that has been written in English.
“The Day of Destiny,” an excerpt from this work, describes the end of King Arthur’s reign and the dissolution
of the order which he, along with his Knights of the Round Table, has established. This end grows out of the
corruption within the royal court itself. Arthur’s illegitimate son Mordred knows of the secret love affair between
Arthur’s wife, Queen Guinevere, and his best friend, Sir Lancelot. One night Mordred leads a band of knights to
Guinevere’s chamber, where they find the Queen with Lancelot.
Although he is reluctant, Arthur feels obligated to obey the law of the land and burn his wife at the stake.
However, at the last minute Lancelot rescues her, killing two knights who are guarding her. Lancelot subsequently
flees to a castle in France and Arthur forgives Guinevere. Sir Gawain, the brother of the dead knights, demands
vengeance on Lancelot. His hatred forces Arthur to lead his men on an attack against Lancelot’s French fortress. In
the ensuing battles Lancelot seriously wounds Gawain but refuses to kill him.
And quickly King Arthur moved himself with his army along the coastline westward, toward Salisbury. And
there was a day assigned betwixt King Arthur and Sir Mordred that they should not meet upon a field beside
Salisbury and not far from the coast. And this day so assigned as Monday after Trinity Sunday (the eighth Sunday
after Easter), whereof King Arthur was passing glad that he might be avenged upon Sir Mordred.
So upon Trinity Sunday at night King Arthur dreamed a wonderful dream, and in his dream it seemed to him
that he saw upon a platform a chair, and the chair was fast to a wheel, and thereupon sat King Arthur in the richest
cloth of gold that might be made. And the King thought there was under him, far from him, and hideous deep black
water, and therein was all manner of serpents, and worms, and wild beasts, foul and horrible. And suddenly the King
thought that the wheel turned upside down, and he fell among the serpents, and every beast took him by a limb. And
then the King cried as he lay in his bed, ―Help, Help!‖
And then knights, squires, and yeomen awaked the King, and then he was so amazed that he knew not where he
was. And then so he awaked until it was night day, and then he fell on slumbering again, not sleeping nor thoroughly
waking. So it seemed to the King that there came Sir Gawain unto him with a number of fair ladies with him. So
when King Arthur saw him, he said,
―Welcome, my sister‘s son. I weened ye had been dead. And now I see thee on – live, much am I beholden unto
Almighty Jesu. Ah, fair nephew and my sister‘s son, what been these ladies that hither be come with you?‖
―Sir,‖ said Sir Gawain, ―all these be ladies for whom I have fought for when I was man living. And all these
are those that I did battle for in righteous quarrels, and God had given them that grace, at their great prayer, because
I did battle for them for their right, that they should bring me hither unto you. Thus much had given leave God, for
to warn you of your death. If you fight tomorrow with Sir Modred, as ye both have assigned, doubt ye not ye must
be slain, and the most party of your people on both parties. And for the great grace And goodness that Almighty Jesu
had unto you, and for pity of you and many more other good men there shall be slain, God had sent me to you of his
special grace to give you warning that in no wise ye do battle as tomorn, but that ye take a treaty fora month from
today. And you make generous offers , so that tomorn ye put in a delay. For within a month shall come Sir Lancelot
with all his noble knights and rescue you worshipfully and slay Sir Modred and all that ever will hold with him.
Then Sir Gawain and all the ladies vanished. And anon the King called upon his knights, squires, and yeomen,
and charged them quickly to fetch his noble lords and wise bishops unto him. And when they were come the King
told them of his dream, that Sir Gawain had told him and warned him that, and he fought on the morn, he should be
slain. Then the King commanded Sir Lucan the Butler and his brother Sir Bedivere the Bold, with two bishops with
them, and charged them in any wise to take a treaty for a month from today with Sir Modred.
―And spare not: proffer him lands and goods as much as ye think reasonable.‖
So then they departed and came to Sir Modred where he had a grim host of a hundred thousand, and there they
entreated Sir Modred long time. And at the last Sir Modred was agreed for to have Cornwall and Kent by King
Arthur‘s days, and after that, all England, after the days of King Arthur.
Then they ageed that King Arthur and Sir Modred should meet betwixt both their hosts, and each of them
should bring fourteen persons. And so they came with this word unto Arthur. Then said he, ―I am glad that this is
done,‖ so he went into the field.
And when King Arthur should depart, he warned all his host that, and they see any sword drawn, ―Look ye
come on fiercely and slay that traitor Sir Modred, for I in no wise trust him.‖ In like wise Sir Modred warned his host
that ―And ye see any manner of sword drawn, look that ye come on fiercely, and so slay all that ever before you
standeth, for in no wise I will not trust for this treaty .‖ And in the same wise said Sir Modred unto his host, ―For I
know well my father will be avanged upon me.‖
And so they met as their arrangement was and were agreed and accorded thoroughly. And wine was fetched
and they drank together. Right so came and adder out of a little heathbush, and it stung a knight in the foot. And so
when the knight felt him so stung, he looked down and saw the adder. And anon he drew his sword to slay the adder,
and thought none other harm. And when the host on both parties saw that sword drawn, then they blew beams,
horns, and shouted grimly. And so both hosts dressed them together. And King Arthur took his horse and said,
―Alas, this unhappy day!‖ and so rode to his party, and Sir Modred in like wise.
And never since was there never seen a more dolefuller battle in no Christian land, for there was but rushing
and riding, lunging and striking; and many a deadly stroke. But ever King Arthur rode throughout the battalion of
Sir Modred many times and did full nobly, as a noble should do, and at all times he fainted never. And Sir Modred
did his devoir that day and put himself in great peril.
And thus they fought all the long day, and never stopped till the noble knights were laid to the cold earth. And
ever they fought still it was near night, and then was there a hundred thousand laid dead upon the down. Then was
King Arthur wild with rage out of measure when he saw his people so slain from him. And so he looked about him
and could see no more of all his host, and good knights left no more on – live, but two knights: the t‘one was Sir
Lucan the Butler and the other his brother Sir Bedivere. And yet they were full sore wounded.
―Jesu, mercy,‖ said the King, ―where are all my noble knights become? Alas that ever I should see this
doleful day! For now, ― said King Arthur. ―I am come to mine end . But would to God.‖ Said he, ―that I wist
now where were that traitor Sir Modred that has caused all this mischief.‖
Then King Arthur looked about and was ware where stood Sir Modred leaning upon his sword among a great
heap of dead men.
―Now give me my spear.‖ Said King Arthur unto Sir Lucan. ―for yonder I have espied the traitor that all this
woe hath wrought.‖
―Sir, let him be ,‖ said Sir Lucan, ―for he is unhappy. And if ye pass this unhappy day ye shall be right well
revenged upon him. And, good lord, remember ye of your night‘s dream, and what the spirit of Sir Gawain told you
tonight, and yet God of his great goodness had preserved you hitherto. And for God‘s sake, my lord, leave off by
this, for, blessed be God, ye have won the field: for yet we been here three on – live, and with Sir Modred is not one
on – live. And therefore if ye leave off now, this wicked day of destiny is past.‖
―Now, befall me death, tide me life,‖ said the King, ―now I see him yonder alone, he shall never escape mine
hands. For at a better avail shall I never have him."
―God speed you well !‖ said Sir Bedivere.
Then the King got his spear in both his hands and ran toward his Modred, crying and saying,
―Traitor. Now is thy deathday come!‖
And when Sir Modred saw King Arthur he ran until him with his sword drawn in his hand, and there King
Arthur smote Sir Modred under the shield, with a thrust of his spear, throughout the body more than a fathom. And
when Sir Modred felt that he had his death‘s wound , he thrust himself with the might that he had up to hand guard
of King Arthur´s spear, and right so he smote his father King Arthur with his sword holden in both his hands, upon
the side of the head, that the sword pierced the helmet and the casting of the brain. And therewith Sir Modred
dashed down stark dead to the earth.
And noble King Arthur fell in a swough to the earth, and there he swooned oftentimes, and Sir Lucan and Sir
Bedivere oftentimes heaved him up. And so, weakly betwixt them, they led him to a little chapel not far from the
seaside, and when the King was there, him thought him reasonably eased. Then heard they people cry in the field.
―Now go thou, Sir Lucan,‖ said the King, ―and let me know what betokens that noise in the field.‖
So Sir Lucan departed, for he was grievously wounded in many places. And so as he walked he saw and
harkened by the moonlight how that pillagers and robbers were come into the field to pill and to rob many a full
noble knight of brooches and bracelets and of many a good ring and many a rich jewel. And who that were not dead
all out there they slew them for their harness and their riches. When Sir Lucan understood this work, he came to the
King as soon as he might and told him all what he had heard and seen. ―Therefore by my advice,‖ said Sir Lucan,
―it is best that we bring you to some town.‖
―I would it were so,‖ said the King, ―but I may not stand, my head works so. Ah, Sir Lancelot,‖ said King
Arthur, ―this day have I sore missed thee. And alas that ever I was against thee, for now have I my death, whereof
Sir Gawain me warned in my dream.‖
Then Sir Lucan took up the King the t‘one side and Sir Bedivere the other party; and in the lifting Sir Lucan fell
in a swoon that part of his guts fell out of his body, and therewith the noble knight´s heart burst. And when the King
awoke he beheld Sir Lucan how he lay foaming at the mouth and part of his guts lay at his feet.
―Alas,‖ said the King, ―this is to me a full heavy sight to see this noble duke so die for my sake, for he would
have helped me that had more need of help than I. Alas that he would not complain him for his heart was so set to
help me. Now Jesu have mercy upon his soul.‖
Then Sir Bedivere wept for the death of his brother.
pledge.
―Now leave this morning and weeping, gentle knight,‖ said the King, ―for all this will not avail me. For wit
thou well, and I might live myself, the death of Sir Lucan would grieve me evermore. But my time passeth on fast,‖
said the King.
―Therefore,‖ said King Arthur unto Sir Bedivere, ―take thou here Excalibur my good sword and go with it to
yonder water‘s side: and when thou comest there I charge thee throw my sword in that water and come again and
tell me what thou saw there‖.
―My lord,‖ said Bedivere, ― your commandment shall be done, and I shall quickly bring your sword again.‖
So Sir Bedevere departed. And by the way he beheld that noble sword, that the hilt and hand guard was all
precious stones. And then he said to himself, ―If I throw this rich sword in the water, thereof shall never come
good, but harm and loss.‖ And then Sir Bedivere hid Excalibur under a tree. And so, as soon as he might, he came
again unto the King and said he had been at the water and had thrown the sword into the water.
―What did you see there?‖ said the King.
―Sir,‖ he said, ―I saw nothing but waves and winds.‖
―That is untruly said of you,‖ said the King. ―And therefore you go quickly again and do my commandment:
as you are to me loved and dear, spare not, but throw it in.‖
Then Sir Bedeivere returned again and took the sword in his hand. And yet he thought sin and shame to throw
away that noble sword. And so again he hid the sword and returned again and told the King, that he had been at the
water and done his commandment.
―What did you see there?‖ said the King.
―Sir,‖ he said, ―I saw nothing but waters lap and waves grow.‖
―Ah, traitor unto me and untrue,‖ said King Arthur, ―now you have betrayed me twice. Who would have
weened that you have been to me so loved and dear, and you are named a noble knight, and would betray me for the
riches of this sword. But now go again lightly, for you long tarrying put me in great jeopardy of my life, for I have
taken cold. And but if you do now as I bid you, if ever I may see you I shall slay you with my own hands, for you
would for my rich sword see me dead‖.
Then Sir Bedivere departed and went to the sword and lightly took it up, and so he went to the water´s side; and
there he bound the girdle about the hilts, and threw the sword as far into the water as he might. And there came an
arm and a hand above the water and took it and clutched it, and shook it thrice and brandished; ands then vanished
away the hand with the sword into the water. So Sir Bedivere came again to the King and told him what he saw.
―Alas,‖ said the King, ―help me hence, for I dread me I have tarried overlong.‖
Then Sir Bedivere took the King upon his back and so went with him to that water´s side, even closer, by the
bank floated a little barge with many fair ladies in it; and among them all was a queen; and all they had black hoods,
and all they wept and shrieked when they saw King Arthur.
―Now put me into that barge,‖ said the King; and so he did softly. And there received him three ladies with
great mourning, and so they set them down. And in one of their laps King Arthur laid his head, and then the queen
said, ―Ah, my dear brother, why have ye tarried so long from me? Alas, this wound on your head had caught
overmuch cold.‖ And anon they rowed fromward the land, and Sir Bedivere beheld all the ladies go forward him.‖
Then Sir Bedivere cried and said, ―Ah, my lord Arthur, what shall become of me, now you go from me and
leave me here alone among my enemies?‖
―Comfort yourself,‖ said the King, ―and do as well as you may, for in me is no trust in. For I must into the
legendary valley to heal me of my grievous wound. And If you hear nevermore of me, pray for my soul.‖
For ever the queen and ladies wept and shrieked, that it was pity to hear. And as soon as Sir Bedivere had lost
sight of the barge he wept and wailed, and so took the forest and went all that night.
And in the morning he was ware, betwixt two bare woods, of a chapel and a hermitage. Then was Sir Bedivere
glad, and thither he went, and when he came into the chapel he saw where lay a hermit groveling on all fours, close
thereby a tomb was new dug. When the hermit saw Sir Bedivere he knew him well, for he was but little before
Bishop of Canterbury, that Sir Modred put to flight.
―Sir,‖ said Sir Bedivere, ―what man is there here interred that you pray so fast for?‖
―Fair son,‖ said the hermit. ―I wot not verily but by guessing. But this same night, at midnight, here came a
number of ladies and brought here a dead corpse and prayed me to inter him. And here they offered a hundred
tapers, and gave me a thousand gold coins.‖
―Alas,‖ said Sir Bedivere,‖ that was my lord King Arthur, which laid here buried in this chapel.‖ Then Sir
Bedivere swooned, and when he awoke he prayed the hermit that he might abide
with him still, there to live with fasting and prayers:
―For from hence will I never go,‖ said Sir Bedivere,‖ by my will, but all the days of my life here to pray for my
lord Arthur.‖
―Sir, you are welcome to me,‖ said the hermit, ―for I know you better than you think That I do: for you are Sir
Bedivere the Bold, and the full noble duke Sir Lucan the Butler was your brother.‖
Then Sir Bedivere told the hermit all as you have heard before, and so he stayed with the hermit that was
beforehand Bishop of Canterbury. And there Sir Bedivere put upon him poor clothes, and served the hermit full
lowly in fasting and in prayers.
Thus of Arthur I find no more written in books that been authorized, neither more of the very certainty of his
death heard i nor read, but thus was he led away in a ship wherein were three queens; that one was King Arthur‘s
sister, Queen Morgan le Fay, the other was the Queen of North Galis, and the third was the Queen of the Waste
Lands.
Now more of the death of King Arthur could I never find, but that these ladies brought him to his grave, and
such one was interred there which the hermit bare witness that was once Bishop of Canterbury. But yet the hermit
knew not in certain that he was verily the body of King Arthur; for this tale Sir Bedivere, a knight of the Table
Round, made it to be written.
Yet some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but carried by the will of our Lord
Jesu into another place; and men say that he shall come again, and he shall win the Holy Cross. Yet I will not say
that it shall be so, but rather I would say: here in this world he changed his life. And many men say that there is
written upon the tomb this:
Hic iacet Arthurus, Rex

Quondam, Rexque futurus
(Here lies Arthur, who was once king and king will be again)

And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare.
But all the time
I‘se been a-climbin‘ on,
And reachin‘ landin‘s, And
turnin‘ corners,
And sometimes goin‘ in the dark
Where there ain‘t been no light. So
boy, don‘t you turn back.
Don‘t you set down on the steps
‘Cause you finds it‘s kinder hard.
Don‘t you fall now—
For I‘se still goin‘, honey,

A Psalm of Life
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is

but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers, And
things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal; Dust
thou art, to dust returnest, Was not
spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our

destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow Find us
farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like
muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to
the grave.
In the world‘s broad field of battle, In the

bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe‘er pleasant! Let the

dead Past bury its dead! Act,— act in the
living Present! Heart within, and God
o‘erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us We

can make our lives sublime, And,
departing, leave behind us Footprints
on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing

o‘er life‘s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing,
shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing, With

a heart for any fate; Still
achieving, still pursuing, Learn to
labor and to wait.

Objectives:
1. Develop inferential comprehension skills by figuring out unknown words using context
clues
2. Determine the type of context clue used for a given word or expression
3. Enhance word knowledge by selecting and generating words
4. Exhibit giving importance to knowledge of context clues by arriving with the meaning of
unfamiliar words in passages when dictionary is not availble

III. LEARNING TASKS
Introduction: The meaning of a word can often be gleaned from clues in the surrounding
context. What comes before and after a new word can reveal its meaning, structure, and use.
TASK 1: WORD DOMINOES
The students will work as team. Each team is given the entire set of
dominoes.
Directions:
1. The students read the sentences and use clues to determine the meaning of the underlined
word.
2. The students then must search the remaining dominoes to find the definition of the word.
3. The students should line up the sentence with the underlined word next to its definition in the
same way to connect dominoes.
4. When completed, the students should be able to connect all of the dominoes from start to
finish.

Activity:
TASK 2: LET‟S PLAY DETECTIVES!
1. Suppose you are detectives using clues to figure out what an unfamiliar word
means.
2. You will work in pairs in analyzing this sentence: “The vixen was not as fortunate.”
3. Define or guess the meaning of the underlined word. Share your definitions with your
partners.
Do you think there is not enough context in the sentence to infer the meaning of the word vixen?
Analysis:
TASK 3: LPR3 MNEMONIC
The LPR3 mnemonic is a useful aid for figuring out unknown words from context.
Look - before, at, and after the new word
Predict-quickly predict the word's meaning, remembering that a wrong prediction is often a good start
Reason-think more carefully about the word's meaning, trying to be as precise as the context clues permit
Resolve-recognize that you may need to take other steps (e.g., look it up, ask someone)
Redo•-go through the steps again if necessary
Apply the reminder/mnemonic to get the meaning of the unfamiliar words in the following sentences.
1. Even when the police officers put the handcuffs on my mother, she maintained her
pledge.
dignity, holding her head up high as she was marched off the protest site.
2. The rays from the rising sun shined splendidly through our kitchen window.
3. John was so hungry that he didn‘t leave a single particle of the muffin on the plate.
4. Cassie took her time when she wrote in cursive, slowly making each word out of an elegant
series of arcs and loops.
5. Kevin thought that it was a great injustice that girls could wear earrings in the school while
the boys could not.
Abstraction:
TASK 4: DIGGING THE CLUES

Study these four common types of context clues and think about what
information in the sentence is useful and what is not. Afterwards, work with
partners and come up with different examples for all the types of context
clues.
Types of Context Clues

1. Definition – the word is defined directly and clearly in the sentence in which it appears.
Example:
The arbitrator, the neutral person chosen to settle the dispute, arrived at her decision.
2. Antonym (or contrast) – often signaled by the words whereas, unlike, or as opposed to.
Examples:
Unlike Jamaal‘s room, which was immaculate, Jeffrey‘s room was very messy. Whereas
Melissa is quite lithe, her sister is clumsy and awkward.
3. Synonym – other words are used in the sentence with similar meanings. Example:
The slender woman was so thin her clothes were too big on her.
4. Inference – word meanings are not directly described, but need to be inferred from the context.
Example:
Walt‘s pugnacious behavior made his opponent back down.
4. Restatement – words are restated using easier language. Commas, dashes, or other punctuation
can point to a restatement clue, along with expressions such as that is, in other words, and or.
Example:
My father is a podiatrist, or foot doctor.

TASK 5: PAIR WORK

Complete the following sentences. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
1. The teacher the class.
2. The teacher the class. She was a bit unhappy with how they had
behaved at the assembly.
3. The teacher the class. They rehearsed so hard for the play and it paid
off!
4. Charlie was .
5. Unlike Kevin, who was excited when he killed his first deer, Charlie was .
Now, working with your partner, enhance the context of at least two of the sentences using the
types of context clues you learned about. As an example, for any inference clue, you might
rewrite sentence 4 to read, “After working a double shift, Charlie was exhausted.” Write your
two revised sentences in the space below and indicate what type of context clue is being used.

If ─
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you Are
losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But
make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or
being lied about, don‘t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don‘t give way to hating, And yet
don‘t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can
think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat
those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you‘ve spoken Twisted
by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And
stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk
it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings And
never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve
your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the
Will which says to them: ‗Hold on!‘
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk
with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes
nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much; If you
can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds‘ worth of distance run, Yours is
the Earth and everything that‘s in it, And—which is
more—you‘ll be a Man, my son!
