                  “That’s a great news class. No one
                  will miss our lesson today.”
          2. Review
                “Okay class, did you still remember
                our topic yesterday?”                   “Yes, Ma’am.”
                  “What was our topic yesterday?”       (The students will raise their hands)
                  “Yes, ____.”                          “Our topic yesterday was all about stresses.”
                  “Nice answer. What is Stress?”        (The students will raise their hands)
                  “Yes, _______.”                       “Stress is the relative emphasis given to a syllable
                                                        or a word in a sentence.”
           “That’s right. Where do you put the
           stress in nouns?”                      (The students will raise their hands)
           “Yes, _____.”                          “Ma’am generally we put the stress in the first
                                                  syllable in nouns.”
           “Correct. What about on the verb
           words?”                                (The students will raise their hands)
           “Yes, _____.”                          “Ma’am generally, we can put the stress in the
                                                  second syllable if the word is in the verb form.”
           “Very good. It seems that you are
           ready for our next topic so let us
           now proceed.”
   3. Motivation
       “Okay class. Who among you have a
       telephone at home?”                        (The student who have a telephone on their home
                                                  will raise their hands)
          “Okay. Now class, I have here a
          telephone. Do you know what the
          function of a telephone is?”            (The students will raise their hands)
          “Yes, ______.”                          “The function of the telephone is make a
                                                  conversation to someone we want to talk to.”
          “That’s right. We use telephone to
          talk to someone we want to talk to
          about something important.
          Therefore, I have here a dialogue. I
          want you to make a conversation
          using this dialogue. Who wants to be
          Mar?”                                   (The students will raise their hands)
          “Okay Arland, come here in front”
          “Who wants to be Luna?”                 (The students will raise their hands)
          “Yes Sheila, come here in front.”
          “You may now start.”                    (The two students will perform the conversation.)
          “Thank you Sheila and Arland. Give
          them five claps for having a good
          conversation.”
B. Developmental Activities
   1. Presentation of the Lesson
         “Now class, eyes on me. What do
         you notice to the activity that Sheila
         and Arland did?”                         (The students will raise their hands)
           “Yes, ______.”                         “Ma’am, they perform the conversation with
                                                  correct pronunciation.”
           “Nice observation. What else?”         “Ma’am, they perform the activity with
                                                  appropriate emotion.”
           “Very good. Another one?”              “Ma’am, sometimes they are raising their voice
                                                  and sometimes they are so calm in saying every
                                                  word.”
       “Very good observation. Do you
       have any idea of what do we call to
       the rising and lowering of voice?”       “None, Ma’am.”
       “Since that you don’t know what do
       we call to the rising and lowering of
       voice, we will tackle it now today.”
2. Discussion of the Lesson
      “Rising and lowering the voice are
      common to a person when speaking
      and this is what we called
      Intonation. And for more
      understanding, will you please read
      the definition on the board.”             (The students will raise their hands)
       “Yes, _______.”                          “Intonation means the rising and lowering of the
                                                voice when speaking.”
       “Thank you. A while ago you said
       that sometimes your classmate were
       raising their voice and sometimes
       they are calm when they are
       speaking. Do you have any idea of
       what do we call to the rising of
       voice?”                                  (The students will raise their hands)
       “Yes, _____.”                            “Ma’am highering of voice.”
       “Nice try. Another one?”                 (The students will raise their hands)
       “Yes, _______.”                          “Ma’am, raising intonation.”
       “Good answer. Another one?”              (The students will raise their hands)
       “Yes, ________.”                         “Ma’am rising intonation.”
       “Very good. When we are raising
       our voice, we called it Rising
       Intonation. For more understanding,
       will you please read the meaning on
       the board?”                              “Rising Intonation means the pitch of the voice
                                                rises over time.”
       “In rising intonation the voice is
       rises and stays high at the end of the
       sentence. When you hear rising
       intonation, it indicates that the
       speaker is waiting for a reply just
       like in this example. Will you
       please read?”                            “Have you heard the news?”
       “What do you notice to the sentence
       when you read it?”                       “Ma’am when I read it, my voice was raised at the
                                                end of the sentence.”
       “That’s right. Will you find another
       sentence with rising intonation?”        “Mark won the Poetry Contest!”
       “Very good. What else?”                  “He got $1000 in cash!”
       “Excellent. Another one?”                “Really? That’s wonderful!”
“Nice answer. What else?”               “That’s great!”
“Very good. For the last one,
_______.”                               “Look Danny, Mark is coming!”
“Based on the sentence, where do
you usually found rising
intonation?”                            (The students will raise their hands)
“Yes, ______.”                          “Ma’am I think when we are asking question.”
“What specific type of question?”       (The students will raise their hands)
“Yes, ________.”                        “Ma’am when the question is answerable by yes
                                        or no.”
“That’s right. What else?”              (The students will raise their hands)
“Yes, _______.”                         “In the situation where someone is expressing
                                        doubt or surprise.”
“Very good. Always remember
class that the rising intonation will
hear if the voice is rising and if it
indicates surprise or expressing
doubt. Are we clear?”                   “Yes, Ma’am.”
“Okay. Now, when the voice is
lowering, what do you call to that?”    (The students will raise their hands)
“Yes, _____.”                           “Ma’am, lowering intonation.”
“Nice try. Another one?”                (The students will raise their hands)
“Yes, _____.”                           “Ma’am, falling intonation.”
“Very good. When the voice is in
the normal tone that is what we
called falling intonation. For more
understanding, will you please read
the definition on the board?”           “Falling Intonation means that the pitch falls
                                        with time.”
“Thank you. Like what I have said
earlier, falling intonation can heard
if the word pronounced in a normal
voice. Falling intonation indicates
calmness and lack of strong feeling.
For example, will you please read?”     “What did he receive as a prize?”
“What do you notice on the way
you read the sentence?”                 “Ma’am when I read the sentence, I am just calm
                                        and I just want to know what prize that Mark got.”
“That’s right. Will you find another
example in this dialogue?”              “I will tell Mark to bring me a hat.”
“Very good. Another one.”               “I want him to buy e some masks.”
“Nice answer.”
       “Remember class, Intonation is the
       rising and lowering of the voice
       when speaking. Rising Intonation
       when the voice is rising but when it
       became calm and in normal voice, it
       called Falling Intonation. Do you
       understand?”                         “Yes, Ma’am.”
3. Generalization
       “Okay. Let us now test your
      understanding about our topic.
      What is the Intonation?”                 “Intonation is the rising and lowering of voice
                                               when speak.”
       “Very good. What is Rising
       Intonation?”                            “Rising Intonation means the pitch of the voice
                                               is rising.”
       “Excellent. Where we could found
       the rising intonation?”
       “Yes, ______”                           “We can found the rising intonation in the yes or
                                               no questions and in the situations when someone
                                               is expressing doubt or surprise.”
       “Very good answer. How about the
       falling intonation?”                    (The students will raise their hands)
       “Yes, _______.”                         “Falling Intonation means that the pitch falls
                                               with time.”
       “Very good. What did falling
       intonation indicates?”                  (The students will raise their hands)
       “Yes, _______.”                         “Falling Intonation indicates calmness and normal
                                               voice when speak.”
       “Excellent. Now that you are
       mastered our topic, let us proceed to
       our activity.”
Valuing Integration
      “But before we that, I have a
      question to you. Did you experience
      talking to an elder in person or even
      in telephone?”                           “Yes, Ma’am.”
       “What do you feel?”                     “Ma’am, I need to be calmer and lower my
                                               voice.”
       “That’s right. What if you
       encounter an elder which is so
       annoying and you need to talk to
       him/her?”                               “Ma’am, I think I need to have a calm voice even
                                               if he/she is so annoying.”
       “Very good. What if they shout to
       you even if you do not do anything
       wrong?”                                 “Ma’am, I will not talk while he/she speaking
                                                   because it shows disrespect and I know that we
                                                   can solve the problem if I will wait until he/she
                                                   done talking.”
             “Very good. Based on your answer,
             what values did you show?”            “Ma’am we show respect to the one who is older
                                                   to us.”
             “That’s right. Why do we need to
             respect them?”                        “Because they are older to us.”
             “Very nice answer. What else?”        “Because they know what is best for us even if
                                                   sometimes they are annoying. And also they are
                                                   the one who teach us to respect elders.”
             “Excellent. We need to respect
             elders because they know what is
             best for us. They already know how
             world runs. Moreover, they are just
             annoying because like what we said
             they are elders. They want to do
             something but they could not do it
             because they are weak and difficult
             to do it. Do you understand?”         “Yes, Ma’am.”
             “Very good.”
      4. Application
           “Okay class, as you can see there is
           a dial pad and inside of it are
           different dialogues that you need to
           deliver based on the emotion that
           the emoti-wheel will show to you.
           To make a fair choice of who will
           do it, I have here the phone that we
           have used earlier. Pass it in your
           right side while the music is playing
           and when it stops, the one who
           holds the phone will be the one who
           will deliver the dialogue. Is that
           clear?”                                 “Yes, Ma’am.”
