b. identify the theme and moral of the story The Three Princes; and
c. appreciate the story The Three Princes by performing a short skit, drawing a movie poster,
performing a minute propaganda and writing a poem about the story;

II. Subject Matter:

A. Topic: The Three Princes
B. Language Focus: Adverbs of Manner
C. Skill Focus: Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing and Viewing
D. Reference: Learner’s Material in English Grade 8, Module 4: Lesson 4, Global
Communication: Informative Speech. p. 557-560
E. Materials: Boxes, Chart, Picture, Posters, Powerpoint Presentation

III.Procedure:
Principle or Approach to be applied: Inductive approach was applied in this semi-detailed
lesson plan because the teacher starts with giving a motivation activity to the students in which
they are going to sing a song based from the other word that they choose. After the activities they
found why the words are ended with a suffix –ly because the words are the examples of adverb of
the manner in which clearly introduces that the topic is all about adverbs of manner.

4. Motivation

Rodel, let us assume that all of you

are princes and princesses from
different kingdoms. And you are all
given a chance to meet Aladdin.
: Yes, Sir!
Would you like that?

However, you still need to surpass

his challenges for you to be able to
meet him. And as you can see the
castle is still covered. We have to
know the password to reveal it.

For now, let us assume that this

classroom is the Kingdom and I will
be the officer-in-charge to guide
you while you are here and you
 have to call me sire.

Is it a deal? : Yes, Sire!

Here in our kingdom, Aladdin will

be very happy if you will avoid
making any noise that is
unnecessary. Aladdin would
Also like to inform you that he
dislikes princes and princesses who
use cellular phones inside his castle.
And lastly, he loves those who
follow instructions carefully. : Yes, Sire!
Understood?

You are divided into four groups.

Your groups are indicated according
to the flags given you.

Kingdom of Israel

As much as possible, you need to act

like real princes and princesses for you
to successfully achieve the goal and

your flags if your answer is yes. : (The students will raise their flags.)
Understood?

This activity is entitled, “ BID FOR

THE TREASURE”

In this activity, let us assume that you

are attending public sale or an auction.

Have you been to or at least watched an : Yes, sire!

auction?

That’s good, but for those who do not

know what an auction is, an auction
class, is also known as public sale.
Wherein, the buyers bid higher than
other buyers for a product.

Each group will be given an envelope

containing a budget, which you can use
to bid for the treasure you want to have.
Take note that you should not tell other
groups how much you received.

For the instructions, Audrey, please

read the following:
: Each group will take turns to bid higher than
the other groups. The group with the highest
bid will win the treasure. Make sure to bid not
more than the budget given to you. One
member of each group will serve as a
representative who will say your bid.
Is everything clear?
Yes, sire!
Are you ready?

Let us start. The first treasure is a : (Students will raise their flags)
crystal ball. This ball can show you
anything you want. Initial price is

Okay, 2, 600 going once…

3, 000 from Italy, going once… going

Now, let us proceed to our next
treasure.

Exposition: LONG AGO on the Arabian
Peninsula, there ruled in one of those cities a

marriageable age. Three princes from nearby
cities came to court the princess. However, the
Princess disliked them and begged her Father
not to let her marry any of them.
Rising Action: The King postponed the
marriage of his daughter and ordered the
princes to explore the world for one year and
one day. Whoever returns with the most
wondrous item will win the Princes’ hand in
marriage.
Climax: The three princes found 3 different
items: a crystal ball, a flying carpet and a
magical ointment. The princes returned to the
palace and presented the items they found
before the King. But the King had a hard time
choosing so he asked advice from a wise old
man from Russia.
Falling Action: The princess did not choose
any of the three princes. She chose the wise
old man instead. Denouement: The princess
picked up the magic ointment, took the old
Russian's hand, and with a dab of the ointment
