B. IT’S READING AND LISTENING TIME (The While-Reading)

Now that you have a little background about the different tenses of telling experiences,
the teacher will let the students read the anecdotes below.

MARK, THE BUSINESSMAN

Mark was an ambitious businessman who poured all his time and energy into his
startup business. He often skipped meals, worked long hours, and neglected his
health and social life. Despite initial success, Mark began to feel burnt out and
isolated. One day, he suffered from a severe stress-related health issue that
forced him to take a break. During his recovery, he realized that moderation was
key to long-term success, and he started balancing work with regular breaks,
exercise, and spending quality time with loved ones. As a result, his creativity and
productivity soared, and he built a sustainable and successful business. We must
always be moderate in all things to keep our life balance.
 C. LET’S DISCUSS (GROUP WORK) Divide the class into two groups and give them
ten (10) minutes to answer by discussing the questions within their group. Let them
share their answers with the class.

1. Who is the character of the story? What is the problem in the story? Retell
the story in your own words.

a) What do you think happened to Mark after becoming a successful

businessman?
b) Do you think Mark will continue working moderately in the future?
c) If you are Mark, how would you like to end your story?

2. Value to live by: Moderation

“Moderation in all things, health in the body, peace in the mind, love in
the heart, brings a life of balance and harmony."

- Publilius Syrus

What does the quote mean? How can you apply this in your life?

This quote advocates for moderation in all aspects of life, emphasizing the importance of
maintaining physical health, peace in mind, and love in the heart to achieve a life of balance
and harmony. By avoiding extremes and practicing self-care, one can experience greater well-
being and contentment.

Important Points to Remember

An anecdote is a short and often amusing or interesting story that is used to illustrate or emphasize a
point, highlight a particular experience, or convey a message in a concise and engaging manner.

Anecdotes are typically based on real-life events or experiences and are often shared in social settings or
informal conversations to make a topic more relatable and memorable.

STRATEGIES IN MAKING A GOOD CONCLUSION

1. Let The End Be Felt

Let the readers know what happens after the story is over. This will help them feel like they have finished the
journey with their feelings and can say goodbye knowing what the next brings. Here, conflict is resolved.

2. Pass A Message Across To The Readers

A great way to end a story is to teach. This is a moral lesson that they can take away from the story. It is meant to
help them grasp the story and how it fits into them.

It would help if you also wrote a memorable conclusion so that your readers will never forget the book.

3. Reflect the Theme

Ensure that your conclusion reflects the central theme or message of your story.
Post Reading: Let’s Practice What We’ve Learned.

The class will be grouped into 3 and each group will randomly select a strip of paper
containing different anecdotes, based on your understanding of the different strategies
for making a conclusion, give a conclusion to the story given. You may apply more than
one strategy.

Anecdote 1: The Polite Shopkeeper

In a small town, there was a shopkeeper named Mr. Anderson. He was known for his
exceptional politeness and moderation. One day, a customer came into the shop and
accidentally knocked over a stack of goods.

Anecdote 1: The Lost Kitten

One day, my little sister found a tiny, scared kitten in our backyard. It was pouring rain, and the
kitten was soaked.

Anecdote 3: The Broken Dishes

While doing the dishes, I accidentally dropped a stack of plates. They crashed to the floor,
making a terrible noise.
