order;
2. Each group must form a line for the activity and a time limit of one minute is given to
accomplish the task;
3. The first person must read the speech of a famous personality silently then, quickly
relay the speech in a whisper to the second one up to the last one to write the
message on the paper provided.
4. A groupmate must quickly say, “We’re finished” and show their answer to the teacher.
If their answer is correct they will receive one point but if the answer is wrong, another
group can say “Steal!” in order to win the match;
5. The first group to accumulate a score of three points will be the winner and will receive
an incentive for their performance.

Targeting indicator #2-6:

C. Activity 1: Discussion with abstraction
The class will be grouped into five, each group will be given a task to construct their ideas
based on the topic they picked from the box and the video presented to them. They have to
brainstorm and express their ideas by drawing, role-playing, reporting, chanting, or making a
poetry to present their topic in front of the class. Follow proper decorum and order while doing the
tasks.

TOPICS TO BE PICKED AND DISCUSSED:

1. Spoken Text - includes oral stories, interviews, dialogues, monologues, phone

conversations, discussions, role plays, or any other piece of spoken
language.
2. Fluency – refers to the continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort with which language is
spoken. It is true that people habitually stammer and hesitate when
speaking and it is usually because the speaker has no control over himself or
herself.
3. Tone - used to describe the speaker’s attitude as reflected in his treatment to his
topic/subject, and how the audience perceives the overall message. Some examples
are serious, sad, funny, light, etc.
4. Cohesion – is the manner of connecting parts of your speech to make it easier for
audience members to follow.

5. Correctness - conveys accurate information to the audience in a way that is clear

and that keeps the listener interested in the topic.
 Importance of evaluating a spoken text:

Evaluating a spoken text is crucial for various reasons, including but not limited to:

1. Clarity and understanding

2. Effectiveness
3. Quality Control
4. Audience Response
5. Improvement and Refinement
6. Adaptation and Customization
7. Authenticity and Credibility
8. Ethical Considerations

Overall, the evaluation of a spoken text is instrumental in refining communication skills,

enhancing the impact of the message, and fostering effective and meaningful interactions
between speakers and their audiences.
Targeting indicator #1:
D. Activity 2: Make sense of spoken texts using a set of criteria discussed before. Identify if the
short clip of the following speeches lack Fluency, Tone, Cohesion or Correctness. The teacher
will provide emoticons for identification. If it is fluency raise the emoticon smiley, if it is tone use
the emoticon heart-eyed, if it is cohesion use star-eyed, if it is Correctness use the wow
emoticon, justify the reason for your answer.

1. Clip # 1: Shows information about debunking false scientific videos - Correctness

2. Clip # 2: Shows stuttering while speaking – Fluency
3. Clip # 3: Shows a funny skit or monologue of a known theatre actor – Mood
4. Clip # 4: Shows a process of cooking with a nice transition of words – Cohesion
5. Clip # 5: Shows a Eulogy speech – Mood
Generalization:
What are the four essential criteria in evaluating a spoken text?
Why do we need to evaluate a certain spoken text?
APPLICATION
III. EVALUATION: Make a judgement using the four criteria of spoken text based on the videos
presented to you. Choose if the clip indicates fluency, cohesiveness, correctness and tone.
