LESSON 1 ON MY NATIONAL LEARNING CAMP- READING THE TEXT

READING THE TEXT
Over the past year we talked about different types of texts. We learned that they are called Narrative,
Expository, Explanation, Recount or Persuasive texts.

1. READING THE TEXT- NARRATIVES

2. Add a Slide Title - 1 Most Essential Learning Competencies • Use appropriate reading strategies to meet one’s purpose (e.g., Scanning, skimming, close reading, etc.) (EN7RC-IV-b-10) • Determine the worth of ideas mentioned in the text listened to (EN7LC-IV-g-8.2) • Cite evidence to support a general statement (EN7RC-IV-g-10.4) • React to what is asserted or expressed in a text (EN7RC-IIIe-2.1.7)

3. Questions: Q1.One type of text is called a Narrative or a story . Write down one thing you know about narratives on your Worksheet. Q2.With a partner, discuss your answer and together write down 3 things you know about narratives on your Worksheet. Q3.There are many different categories of narratives – one of them is fantasy. Can you think of 3 more?

4. In this lesson, we are going to read a short story and I am going to ask you about what has happened to the characters. The story has a lot to tell you about life. We are going to learn some strategies for reading narratives by looking at this story in detail.

5. The Hare and the Tortoise . It is a type of narrative called a fable . What is a fable?”

6. Here are some words we are going to meet from the text (Refer to Worksheet and read.) • hare - (a large rabbit) • tortoise -(a land animal like a turtle) • challenged- (dared to enter a contest) • finish line - (the end point of a race) • chagrin - (annoyance or anger).

7. Reading the Text Has anyone read or seen this story before? “ Who won the race and how did he win it?”

8. In the beginning, we get the answers to the questions, “ Who (characters), Where and when (setting).” We are going to look at the different parts of a Narrative. A narrative usually has 3 parts: a beginning, middle and end but they are not always the same length.

9. The middle part is where a problem occurs or something happens to disrupt or confuse the situation (a ‘crisis’) and leads to a sequence of events that lead to a ‘climax’, a big event – like the final battle scene in a war movie. • The end is where the problem is solved, or the action comes to an end as when someone wins the final battle in a war movie – a resolution. • We talked about how narratives start, what starts the action, and how the action ends at the start of this lesson. Now you know what happens in each part

10. Questions: Q1.Name the main characters. Q2.What event and /or character sets the action going/ causes the problem? Q3.Who won the race and how did he win it? Q4.What is the moral/lesson of the story? Q5.“The Hare is the villain/bad character in the story” – do you agree? Give reasons. Q6.Parent A said, “This story is silly – we don’t want our children growing up to be like the Tortoise – he’s too slow for the times we live in.” Do you agree? Give reasons .
