Conflict- It is the problem presented in the story through the
clash between the main character and other forces. At the heart
of every great story is a conflict (or problem). The main
character wants something and is prevented from getting it.
Conflict makes the story interesting. Most of the action and
suspense in a story centers around the main character (or
characters) trying to find a solution to the conflict
Conflict is a struggle or problem faced by the characters. It can
neither be external or internal. External conflict refers to the
opposition between an individual and some outside forces while
internal conflict refers to the opposition coming from within.
External conflicts include man vs. man, man vs. nature, and
man vs. society. Internal conflicts include man vs. himself.
a. Man vs. Man-It is the opposition between the main
character and other characters in the story
b. Man vs. Himself- It shows the problem created by the
main character and his/her personality.
c. Man vs. Society-It is the conflict between the main
character and the society where he/she lives.
d. Man vs. Nature- A character is set in opposition to
nature. This can mean the weather, the wilderness,
or a natural disaster.
e. Man vs. Supernatural- Characters against
phenomena like ghosts, gods, or monsters raises
the stakes of a conflict by creating an unequal
 playing field.

A story has a plot. Plot shows the different part of the story. Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Resolution.
What are the five parts of a plot?

got home, after he had unhitched the carabao from the plow,
and led it to its shed and fed it. He was hesitant about saying it
but he wanted his father to know. What he had to say was of
serious imporantt, as it would mark a climacteric in his life.
Dodong finally decided to tell it, at a thought came to him his
father might refuse to consider it. His father was silent hard-
working farmer chewed areca nut, which he had learned to his
mother, Dodong’s grandmother. I will tell it to him. I will tell it to
him.” –Footnote To Youth

Selection 3
“During the two or three months of the year in Mindoro there is
hunger, a kind of half-famine, as it were, and riding homeward
down the empty bed of the river early one afternoon, Cesar
Manalo was thinking of this very phenomenon. He had just
come from his coffee plantation and had been displeased to
see how ill-kept it was”. –Hunger in Barok

Selection 4
“An old king ruled over the kingdom of Bumbaran. His kingdom
was prosperous, his people were good, and he should have
been very happy. But the king was not contented. His heart
was full of envy toward his younger brother, Prince Bantugan.
Everytime someone praised Prince Bantugan, the king frowned
and looked angry.
One day, enemies attacked the Kingdom of Bumbaran and
Prince Bantugan led his men to defend the country. While he
was gone, the evil king plotted against the good prince. He
issued a proclamation that no one should speak to Prince
Bantugan. He added that whoever speak to Bantugan would be
killed.” – The Good Prince Bantugan

Selection 5
“A long, long time ago, Mindanao was covered with water, and
the sea covered all the lowlands, so that nothing could be seen
but the mountains jutting from it. There were many
people living in the country and all the highlands were dotted
with villages and settlements. For many years, people
prospered, living in peace and contentment. Suddenly, there
appeared in the land four horrible monsters which, in a short
time, devoured every human being they could find.”-Indarapatra

Objective 2: Used research-based knowledge and principles of teaching

and learning to enhance professional practice (learning objectives)
Objectives
 The teacher has used Bloom’s Taxonomy in writing learning objectives. Based on the Cognitive
Process Dimensions adapted from Anderson & Krathwohl (2001), it provides a scheme for
classifying educational goals, objectives, and standards. It also defines a broad range of cognitive
processes from basic to complex.

Objective 2: Used research-based knowledge and principles of teaching

and learning to enhance professional practice (Instructional activities)
Motivation
Before the beginning of the lesson, the teacher prepared an activity that will activate learners’
interest with the lesson. It said that motivated students are much more likely to achieve their potential and
find success. Motivation is an essential ingredient in effective teaching and learning. It not only yields more
positive behavior in students, but it also contributes to a greater sense of wellbeing.
Objective 2: Used research-based knowledge and principles of teaching
and learning to enhance professional practice (Instructional activities)

Students were able to work in pair through Think-Pair-Share. The teacher used this method for pair-
learning. (TPS) is a cooperative learning activity that can work in varied size classrooms and in any
subject. Instructors pose a question, students first THINK to themselves prior to being instructed to discuss
their response with a person sitting near them (PAIR). According to (Johnson & Johnson, 1999) TPS
provides an opportunity for students to work in groups toward a common goal, increasing their own and
others’ understanding in a safe environment to make mistakes.

Objective 2: Used research-based knowledge and principles of teaching

and learning to enhance professional practice (Instructional
Activities/Application)
For the application, the teacher utilized Differentiated Activity to let the students apply their learnings from
the lesson discussed by the teacher. Differentiated instruction is a teaching approach that tailors instruction
to all students’ learning needs. All the students have the same learning goal. But the instruction varies
based on students’ interests, preferences, strengths, and struggles. Students have “multiple options for
taking in information, making sense of ideas, and expressing what they learn,” says Carol Ann Tomlinson,
an educator who has done innovative work in this area.

Objective 2: Used research-based knowledge and principles of teaching

and learning to enhance professional practice (Instructional
Activities/Assessment)
The teacher used the individual assessment through multiple choice test and essay writing. According to
Maki, Peggy L. (2002) by analyzing students’ performance through formative assessment and sharing the
results with them, instructors help students to “understand their strengths and weaknesses and to reflect on
how they need to improve over the course their remaining studies,”
