princesses from different kingdoms. And you are
all given a chance to meet Aladdin.

Would you like that? Yes, ma’am!

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 find out
ourselves the password in order 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. Is it a deal?

In here, Aladdin will be very happy if you will not Deal, ma’am.

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, Dave, please read the Each group will take turns to bid higher than the
following: other groups. The group with the highest bid will

person holding the bottle gives an incorrect
answer, other students will be given a chance to
answer. JUST RAISE YOUR FLAG QUITELY if you
want to be recognized.

letter with a consonant next to you.
Wow, you are all amazing! Did you enjoy the
game, class?
Those words can actually be found in the story,
The Three Princes.
B. Lesson proper
1. Discussion
So, last meeting I asked everyone to read the
story The Three Princes. Have you done reading
it?
If so, what do you think is the story all about?
Exactly! Having said that, what were the three
gifts they found? Yes, Albrix?
Excellent! Considering those three, where do you
think did the story took place? Yes, Rhea?
That’s right! But how can you say that it is in
Middle East?
Ma’am the answer is COURT. An example
sentence would be “I want someone to court me
for a month.”
My answer is VIZIER, ma’am. An example of a
sentence is “My father is a vizier.”
Yes, ma’am!
Yes, ma’am!
Ma’am, it’s basically the story of three princes
who wanted to marry a princess but they failed to
convince her despite the wondrous gifts they
offered.
They found a crystal ball, a flying carpet, and a
magical ointment, ma’am.
Ma’am, I think it happened somewhere in the
Middle East.
Because the three items that the princes found
were mainly depiction of the beliefs and culture
of the Arabian people, ma’am. Particularly the
flying carpet, which is very famous in the movie
Aladdin, and we all know that Aladdin is set in
Arabian.
Great thinking! The setting of the story is in
Arabian Peninsula. Who then are the main
characters of the story? Yes, Carl?
Very good!
Let’s have another activity to enhance your
knowledge about the topic. This game is called,
PICTO PLOT. Angel, please read the following
instructions.
Thank you for that, Angel.
So each group will be given a specific part of the
plot TO DRAW. So after you arrange the plot, the
Kingdom of England will draw the exposition.
Kingdom of Denmark will draw the Rising and
Falling Action. Kingdom of Bahrain will be in
charge of the Climax. And lastly, the Kingdom of
Bhutan will draw the Denouement.
Is everything clear now?
You have 8 minutes to do activity. Your time starts
now.
(The teacher will facilitate the activity.)
The three princes, the king, and the princess,
ma’am.
Arrange the plot of the story chronologically by
putting together its divided sequences and draw a
simple picto- presentation depicting the scene
given to you. Take note that you are only required
to make a SIMPLE drawing.
Yes, ma’am.
(The students will do the activity.)
The students will come up with this arrangement:
Exposition:
Long ago on the Arabian Peninsula, there ruled in
one of those cities a king whose daughter had
come of marriageable age. Three princes from
nearby cities came to court the princess.
However, the Princess disliked them and begged
for 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 Princess’ hand
in marriage.
Climax:
The three princes found three different items: a
crystal call, a flying carpet, and a magical
ointment. The princes returned to the palace and
 presented the items they found in front of the
King. But the King has 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 rubbed at the back of his hand,
incredibly, the old man turned into a tall and dark
young man. Restored to the strength and
handsome stature of his youth, he smiled at the
princess.

(After 8 minutes)

Your time is up! Please tack your answers on the

board and let us check if you arranged the plot
sequentially.

Very good, class! You were all able to arranged

the plot chronologically.

always finds its way to you.

What lesson did you learn from the story, Prince Ma’am, I learned from the story that things are
JL from the Kingdom of England? not always what it seems. Also, material things
cannot measure how much you love a person.

Wow, very well said! What else? Yes, Prince Kyll? I learned that marriage is for those who value a
person more than anything else.
Brilliant!
