INCORPORATE PICTURE IN YOUR
UNLOCKING VOCABULARY SO YOUR
STUDENTS CAN EASILY GET THE
MEANING OF IT
Yes, Ma’am!

A long time ago, there is a beautiful

maiden named Medusa. She lived in
the city of Athens in a country
named Greece.
Next, from the illustration what do
you think happened next?
 Ma’am, I think she goes to temple and pray
to her God.
Yes! She goes to the Parthenon of
her Goddess. Does anyone know
who her Goddess is?
Ma’am, it is Athena!
Okay! Medusa’s goddess is Athena!
Athena is the Goddess of what?
She’s the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle.
Very good!
Now, what do you think happened
next?

Someone saw her while praying at the

Parthenon of Athena.
Correct! Someone saw her, who do
you think he is?
He is the God of the sea.
Very good! And what is his name?
Poseidon, Ma’am.
Yes! He is Poseidon!
Now, Poseidon got mesmerized by
the beauty of Medusa.
But! Medusa has a bow of what?
Bow of Celibacy, Ma’am.
And because Medusa devoted her
life to a celibacy. What do you think
she will do to Poseidon?

Yes! She will reject him and Class, She will ignore and reject him, Ma’am.
what do you think will Poseidon
feel?

Very good! And by that what do you He will feel angry to Medusa because of
think will Poseidon do to Medusa? rejection.

Okay! He will rape her! Right in front He will rape her.

of what?

And what do you think will Athena Parthenon of Athena.

feel?

How do you say so?

She will feel angry and insulted, Ma’am.

Because she will think that Medusa didn’t

respect her by breaking her bow of
celibacy.
And by that class. What do you think
will happen next?

Athena will take revenge on Medusa.

By Medusa only and not with
Poseidon?

Why? How did you say Yes? Yes, Ma’am.

Athena can’t punish Poseidon because she

was not powerful enough and Poseidon is
an elder god.
Very good! Now, Class. How did
Athena take revenge on Medusa?
By cursing Medusa.
Okay! By cursing Medusa. What did
Athena do to Medusa?

She made Medusa unappealing. She made

her hair turned into snakes.
Very good! And one thing that
Athena did to Medusa is that
whenever a living thing looks into
her eyes will turn into what?

Will turn into stone, Ma’am.

Yes! You are correct!
By that curse, what do you think will
Medusa do?

She will lock herself and hide forever so

that she can’t harm other people.
Very good!
And that is the untold story of
Medusa.

Now class, do you still think that

Medusa is a monster?

No, Ma’am.
How do you say so?
Ma’am, because she didn’t want what
happened between her and Poseidon. She
was just a victim.

Very good!
If you are Athena, are you going to
take revenge on Medusa and curse
her? No, Ma’am.

Hmm, how do you say so?

Medusa didn’t do anything. She was just a
victim because Poseidon raped her.
Okay! Nice answer.
Now, Class, what do you think is the
moral of the story? Yes, Ella?
Ma’am, the moral of the story is don’t
always seek for a revenge just like what
Athena does to Medusa. She punished
Medusa because she cannot punish
Poseidon. By wanting for revenge, an
innocent may suffer forever like Medusa.
Very good, Ella!
Class, if someone did something
bad to you. Are you going to take
revenge?

Definitely no, Ma’am.

Why?
I will make him/her realize what he/she did
to me, and I will just walk away without
explaining because silence is the sweetest
revenge.
Wow! Nice answer, Venin!
Class, do you have any questions
about the story of Medusa?
 None, Ma’am.
That’s good to hear!
Well then, let us have an activity!

D. APPLICATION
In this activity, I will divide the class
into three groups. Okay?
Yes, Ma’am.
Alright, what you are going to do is
to pick one scenario from the story
that gives an impact on your life or
that it changed your point of view
about life.

Your presentation must be in

creative way. I need a
representative per group to pick a
number in front and that number
corresponds to a specific activity
that you are going to do. I will give
you 4minutes for your preparation
and please maximize your
presentation to only 1 minute. Are (See attached file for the rubric)

You can now go to your respective

groups and form a circle.

Times up! Yes, Ma’am.

Let us have group 1 for their
presentation.
(Students will start to brainstorm about the
presentation)
 Wow! I am so speechless! Group 1 – Poem
You class did so well! Group 2 – Radio Broadcasting
Group 3 – Short Skit
What I can say is that I can clearly
see how the story gives an impact
on your life. I am thankful that you
really understand the moral of the
story. TRY TO GIVE ADD ONS IN

GIVE THE MORAL OF THE
