your day going so far?
“That’s great! Do we have any “Ma’am, we do not have any
absentees for today, class?” absentees for today”
 Motivation
“Now, I am going to recite a short
literary work. I want you to listen
carefully while I am reciting this,
Sing, Goddess, Achilles' rage, Black and
murderous, that cost the Greeks
Incalculable pain, pitched countless souls
Of heroes into Hades' dark,
And left their bodies to rot as feasts
For dogs and birds, as Zeus' will was
done.
begin with the clash between
Agamemnon
“Ma’am, that literary work is called
The Greek warlord - and godlike Achilles.
Class, do you have any idea what
 type of literary work is that?” poetry”
“Very good! This is poetry. You are
an intelligent student”
B. Presentation
“Okay class, today we will discuss
about poetry. Poetry is classified
into three major parts.
Do you have any idea what are “Ma’am! One classification of poetry is
this? Lyrical Poetry.”

“Very good Xandra!”

“Two more. Give me on Eugene.” “Ma’am! Narrative Poetry”
“Very good Eugene! Okay last one, “Ma’am the last one is Descriptive
May” and Didactic poetry”
“Great job May!”
"I’m glad that you already have an
idea about poetry. For today, I will
give you further information about
Narrative Poetry. Are you ready to “Yes Ma’am!”
listen now?”
C. Discussion
To ask “what is poetry?” is very
much like asking “what is
literature?” and in fact the answers
to both these questions overlap:
Poetry is perceived as fictional, it
uses specialized language, in
many cases it lacks pragmatic
function, and it is also ambiguous.
Using your own words, can anyone “Ma’am poetry is a type of literary
define what poetry is?” work which includes rhyme and
 meter.”
“Very good Leila!”
Now let us proceed with Narrative
Poetry and its sub-categories.
(The teacher will flash on the
screen the definition of narrative
and its types)
Upon showing the definition of
Narrative poetry, can you please “Ma’am, based on the definition
tell me what narrative poetry is? provided. Narrative poetry gives a
verbal representation, in verse, of a
sequence of events, it propels
characters through a plot”
“Great job!” Any more idea/s?” “Ma’am, narrative poems might tell of
a love story, the story of a father and
son or the deeds of a hero or
heroine.”
“Excellent! Now let us proceed with
its sub-categories”
(The teacher will flash different
examples of the sub-categories of
narrative poetry and its definition)
(The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe; The rape
of the lock by Alexander Pope; and
Drover by Elton John)
Provided the definitions and
examples, can someone please “Ma’am for the epic poetry one
identify one sub-category and state example is The Raven by Edgar Allan
one example? Poe.”
“Excellent Greshille! Two more. “Ma’am for the mock-epic poetry that
Give me one, May” would be The Rape of the Lock by
 Alexander Pope.”
“Great job, May! Okay last one, “Ma’am the last one is ballad and the
Eugene” example for that is the Drover by
Elton John”
“Good job students! Now with all of
your definitions and example. I
want you to summarize the
meaning of these three sub-
categories. Anyone?”
(The teacher waits for a volunteer) (Aurora will raise her hand)
“Okay Aurora, please do the “Ma’am an epic poetry is a long,
honor.” narrative poem that is usually about
heroic and events that are significant
to the culture of the poet. Mock-epic
poetry works are typically satires or
parodies that mock common Classical
stereotypes of heroes and heroic
literature. Ballad is a song, originally
transmitted orally, which tells a story.
“Excellent! The three sub-
categories of narrative poetry are
epic, mock-epic, and ballad. Do “None, Ma’am”
you have any questions, class?”
D. Generalization
“Now before we with our quiz. I
want to hear your insights,
realizations and/or opinions about
the importance of studying poetry
and knowing its types.”
“Anyone who wants to go first?” (Student will raise her hand)
“Okay we have a volunteer, go “Ma’am allow me to quote a
 ahead May.” statement; Poetry is important
because it is a counselor helping us
to understand one another. Leading
us away from hate to love, from
violence to mercy and pity.”
“Wonderful insight! Thank you for (Student will volunteer)
that. One more”
“Okay go ahead, Eugene” “For me, it is importance to study
poetry because it helps us understand
our self and appreciate the world
around us.”
“Great job students! I am glad that
you are able to come up with those
brilliant insights and ideas.
E. Application
“Now students, I will give you the
opportunity to share with your
groupmates the ideas that you
have in mind.”
“I want you to divide the class into
two groups and differentiate the
three types of narrative poetry
using a Venn diagram. After that,
you will present your group work in
front of the class. Do you “Yes Ma’am”
understand?”
“Okay let’s start!” (Students will now start doing the
activity)
“Alright, done students? You may
now present it in front” (The students will post their work on
the board and the leader per group
 will represent their work)
“Impressive! It’s clear that all of
you learned a lot in today’s
discussion. Very good!”
