Good morning class.

Good morning, ma’am.
How have you been?
Were fine, ma’am. Thank you.
Glad to hear that.

Before you take your seat, I

want you to arrange your
chairs, and pick up pieces of
paper on the floor.

For a successful discussion, let

me remind you again of our P-
R-A-I-S-E classroom rules.

P - Participate in our class

discussion.
R - Raise your hand if you want
to say something.
A - Avoid gossiping with your
seatmates.
I - If the teacher is talking, you
listen carefully.
S - Stand when the teacher is
talking to you.
E - Express kindness and
respect to everyone.

Am I clear?
Yes, ma’am.
Okay, now let us check your
attendance.
Who is absent today?
None, ma’am.
Very good, that is good to
hear. I am glad to see you all
here today.
I’m your English teacher for
today. I’m Shenna Amor G.
Galvez, you can call me Ma’am
Shenna or teacher Shenna.
 Whichever you prefer, it’s
okay.

Ever since I started observing

your class with Ma’am
Renemie, I noticed that you are
all active listeners, you
participated well during the
discussion, and so I hope we’ll
get along smoothly too.

Before we start with today’s

lesson, let’s have a quick
review of what you have
discussed last time. Last time,
you have discussed about the
story “My Father Goes to
Court” by Carlos Bulusan.

What do you think the story is The story is all about the rich
all about? and the poor family, ma’am.

Yes, it talks about the life of

court? He paid the rich man through
the sound of the coins.

Okay, very good! So put in

your mind that it is not good to
accuse someone without any
proof. Wealth is not a license
for anyone to overpower
others. Be fair, to live a simple
yet a healthy life is better than
to live an abundant yet
complicated life.
It seems that you interacted
well with your previous lesson
and I hope you’ll do the same
today.

B. Establishing Lesson So to get us warmed up for

Purpose today's lesson, let me hear
your thoughts. I want you to

Interesting! Why do you think

you felt that way? I wanted my friend to make a
good impression.
Exactly! Now, let’s connect this
to our lesson today. I have
here two pictures.

Question:
What have you observed in the
pictures? It is a picture of a city and a

in the barrio?

What makes each other

different? In the city, life is fast and
busy. We have many things
like malls, buildings, and
hospital. While in the barrio,
life is simpler and quieter.

what you are not used to takes
time and is quiet difficult. But
remember that the choice
between living in the city or in
a barrio depends on individual
priorities and values.

Now, before we proceed to our

next activity, let me hear your
thoughts about these pictures.
 Based on the picture, I can
see the four types of conflict

What have you observe on
these pictures? Man vs. Man

Now that we've warmed up,
why do you think it’s important
to understand conflicts in a
story?

Exactly! Relating to characters

can make the story feel more
personal.

Today, we will explore conflicts

in the story 'How My Brother
Leon Brought Home a Wife.'

Are you ready?

C. Developing and 1. Explicitation

Deepening Alright class, before we dive
Understanding deeper into the story, let's
recall that literature often
mirrors real-life situations. In
the reading assignment 'How
My Brother Leon Brought Home
a Wife,' that Ma'am Renemie
gave you, there are many
layers of conflict.

Let’s start with a brief

summary of the story, paying
close attention to the dynamics
between the characters. As I
summarize, think about how
these characters might feel or
react in certain situations.
Ready?

Baldo was able to meet his

brother’s wife Maria, as Baldo
saw his older brother's wife, he
described her as lovely, tall,
and beautiful. Upon their
journey to Leon’s home, Leon
is wondering why Baldo drove
them to the waig instead of
the camino real, Baldo
answered that he drove the
waig because their father told
him to do so. The waig route
will serve as test to Maria if
she can live in the province
which differs a lot from the city
where she lived in, but then it
seems like Maria like Leon’s
province, she described this as
beautiful, fresh air, clean, and
free of dust. During their
journey, Maria, was worried if
Leons father and family would
like her. When they arrived
home, father talked to Baldo
asking what happened during
their travel, the father asked
Baldo if Maria was afraid in
their place, Baldo answered
that Maria was not afraid and

and community. And finally,

Exactly! We’ll see how Maria

journey through the fields.
Fantastic responses so far!

3. Worked Example

Now let’s dive into specific

scenes from the story. I will
give each group one scene
from the story and discuss

it that kind of conflict. Think
about how their reactions

highlighting the tension
between them. When Leon
continues, “Baldo, you fool,

shifts to one of frustration and

underscoring the expectations
placed on Baldo by his elder
brother. Baldo, feeling
cornered, finally speaks up,
“Father—he told me to follow
the Waig tonight, Manong.”
This response reveals Baldo’s
instinct to deflect
responsibility, attempting to
shift the blame onto their
father.

Now very good, class. These

subtle reactions contribute to
the overall conflict. Let’s now
explore how these emotions
shape the rest of the story.

4. Baldo didn’t want to get

involved in the struggle for
 civil rights. He just wanted to
go to school. Unfortunately,
many people in the
community did not want Baldo
to go to their school because
of his Aeta Heritage. A simple
walk to the school becomes a
powerful march for right as
Baldo, a group of civil rights
leaders, and millions of
supporters make Baldo’s case
the centerpiece in a heated
battle for equal rights.

5. Jake and Emily find

theirselves at odds over who
should lead their group project
on their Science subject. Jake
insists he should lead, citing
his creative ideas, while Emily
argues she’s done more
research and is better suited
for the role. Their conflicting
views and desire for control
create tension and
disagreement.
