Introductory Message

Welcome to English - Grade 7!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Iloilo and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through
the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to
guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.
For the learning facilitator:

The English Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with
minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made
available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The English Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even
if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and
engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read
and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Discover and Resolve Conflicts Presented in Non-Violent Ways

I. Learning Competency

Discover the conflicts presented in literary selections and the need to resolve those
conflicts in non-violent ways (EN7LT-ll-a.4)
II. Background Information for Learners

At the heart of every great story is a conflict (or problem). Conflict involves
problems or obstacles that arise within a story—both internal (or in a character's
mind) and external (caused by other characters or forces). It helps to deepen
engagement with a story or character and provide deeper meaning to the story.
Two types of conflict:
External conflict-one character in conflict with another character/s; one
character in conflict with a group or whole society; one character in conflict with
something in nature
Internal conflict- may involve a character’s struggle to make a decision or to
overcome some feelings such as fear, suspicion, hostility, or sadness.

KINDS OF CONFLICT
1. Man vs. Self is most often seen when a character faces mixed emotions over
 his or her actions or a decision that has to be made/has been made. You can
also see this conflict evident when a character is facing mental illness or is
unable to forgive himself or herself over past actions.
2. Man vs. Man is commonly seen in literature and modern storytelling and is a
type of external conflict. This conflict will most often play out between a
protagonist and his or her antagonist, although it can also appear between
friends or acquaintances, as well.
3. Man vs. Society is often seen in Science Fiction and is an external conflict
that involves a protagonist at odds with a ruling body (which could be one's
family), or social or cultural norms.

4
4. Man vs. Nature is where the main character faces some sort of storm or event
that happens as a force of nature (such as an animal attack).
5. Man vs. Technology is when a protagonist is facing machines or technology
(such as mechanical failure or robots) and must prevail against it. 6. Man vs.
Fate or Man vs. the Supernatural is a conflict that occurs when the
protagonist finds himself or herself pitted against a vengeful god or
powerful supernatural force.

IV. Lesson Proper

kinds of conflict, identifying conflict in a literary selection and resolving
them in non- violent ways. Read the following excerpts/stories from the

your answers in your notebook / answer sheet.

My sister Delia was the meanest creature I knew. She was eight when I was
born, the day my mother died. Although we continued to live in the same house, she
had gone, it seemed, to another country from where she looked at me with
increasing annoyance and contempt.
My sister was enthroned in a large chair in the porch of the house. Her back
was turned away from the door; she sat facing the window She was embroidering a
strip of white cloth. I went near, I stood behind her chair. She was not aware of my
presence. I unwrapped the centipede. I threw it on her lap.
 My sister shrieked and the strip of white sheet flew off like an unhanded hawk.
She shot up from her chair, turned around and she saw me but she collapsed again
to her chair clutching her breast, doubled up with pain. The centipede had fallen to
the floor.
“You did it,” she gasped. “You tried to kill me Eddie. You’ve health… life… you
tried…” Her voice dragged off into a pain-stricken moan.

Activity 1.2

Tungkung Langit was an industrious, loving, and kind god whose chief
concern was how to impose order over the whole confused set-up of things. He
assumed responsibility for the regular cosmic movement. On the other hand,
Alunsina was a lazy, jealous, and selfish goddess whose only work was to sit by the
window of their heavenly home, and amuse herself with her pointless thoughts.
Sometimes, she would go down from the house, sit down by a pool near their
doorstep and comb her long, jet-black hair all day long. One day, Tungkung Langit
told his wife that he would be away from home for sometime to put an end to the
chaotic disturbances in the flow of time and in the position of things. The jealous
Alunsina, however, sent the sea breeze to spy onTungkung Langit. This made the
latter very angry upon knowing about it. Immediately after his return from the trip, he
called this act to her attention saying that it was ungodly of her to be jealous, there
being no other creature living in the world except the two of them. This reproach was
resented by Alunsina, and a quarrel between them followed. Tungkung Langit lost
his temper. In this rage, he divested his wife of powers and drove her away. No one
knew where Alunsina went; she merely disappeared.
