PROCEDURE
A. Pre-reading:
a. ROUTINE
a. Prayer
b. Review of previous lesson
b. UNLOCKING OF DIFFICULTIES
1. VOCABULARY
Prior to the reading task, ask the students to research on the meaning of the following words
in the dictionary. The students should get at least 2-3 different definitions of the words and
use each in a sentence.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Wander
Host
Glance
Pensive
Flutter
Before the discussion, ask the students to state the various definitions of each word and
how it is used in the sentence. They should be able to analyze that a word meaning could
vary when combined with other words in a different context. This is called collocation.
Understanding collocations would not just help the student know the meaning of a word,
but also provide them the alternative ways in expressing themselves.
2. BACKGROUND OF THE LITERARY TEXT

Present an image of a daffodil to the students. Ask the students what is being shown in the
picture. If the students answer is flower or plant, lead them to state its exact name by a
support question (Say: What kind of flower?)
c. MOTIVATION QUESTION:
Ask the students the place where they usually find joy each time they feel alone. Let them
share their experiences in overcoming such solitude.
d. MOTIVE QUESTION:
Post a hanging question in class about the selection to be read. (Say: The persona in the
literary actually experience being alone. What do you think is his way of alleviating the
problem he has.
B. Discussion:
The strategy used in discussing the selection is the sectional approach. Each 2 lines from the 4
stanzas will be discussed for a more vivid understanding of the selection. Use the following
questions as guide in discussing the selection
1st Stanza
What does the word wander mean? Was it used in the same way in the 1st line? Why?
Are clouds lonely? Where do clouds belong? Why do you think did the author compare himself to
a cloud that is lonely?
What did author see from a distance? How would you describe their number? What are the words
that made you figure out that they are many?
How did the persona describe the movements of the daffodils? What does this mean?
2nd Stanza
What image is being impressed with the words stars and milky way?
In what sense are the galaxy and the daffodils compared to? What are their similarities?
Do you think the writer really counted the number of flowers as ten thousand? What does he want
the reader to picture?
What do you call that figure of speech? What is hyperbole?
How about the dancing daffodils? What feeling is being expressed on the said line?
3rd Stanza
What was out-did by the daffodils in the poem? What do you think does it mean?
How did the author feel about the waves and the daffodils? What word/s signal such response?
What does the author mean when he said wealth the show to me had brought?
4th Stanza
What came back to the author upon gazing at the daffodils?
What does the author feel each time he thinks of the daffodils?
What is the theme of the poem?
Are there also things in life where you find joy just by seeing it? What are those?
What is the mood or atmosphere in the story?
After the discussion, ask the students to analyze the following lines:
I wandered lonely as a cloud

Use the following questions to elicit response from the students:
What emotion is being expressed by the author?
Wander also means walk around, what if we replace the statement as I walked
around lonely as a cloud, would the same emotion be maintained? Which shows a
clearer expression of the authors feelings?
They flash upon that inward eye,
Which is the bliss of solitude;
What does bliss mean? How is it different with happiness, joy or fun? Which shows a
higher sense of happiness?
What can you say about the authors feelings? In a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest),
how would you rate his happiness?
Rationalize that words provide us with a deeper understanding of a persons feeling. A person
may WEEP, which shows shedding of tears, but the word WAIL speaks of a more intense surge
of emotion (involves screaming). All of this words are associated to crying, yet its intensity
varies. This creative way of expressing ones emotion affects the mood or the atmosphere that
the reader feels while reading the text. The authors choice of words is called Diction.
Have the students test their skills by answering the following statements:
1. Arnold (giggled, laughed) so loudly when Delbert cracked a joke
2. Bouncing into the room, she lit up the vicinity with a joyous/happy glow on her face as she
told about her fianc and their wedding plans.
C. Skill Focus: Using sensory images.
Ask the students to fill out the table with phrases that help them picture the atmosphere of the
selection. The words should be classified according to the senses being revealed.
Seeing
Ex. A host of
golden daffodils
Hearing
Smelling
Tasting
Feeling
Ask the students to verify the answers as the teacher dictates the words in each column. Let the
students figure out how these words help them in reading the selection. Once they rationalize,
introduce the notion of sensory images or imagery. A sensory image is a technique used by the
author to help readers comprehend and appreciate the literary text. It provides mental images so
that the reader could experience the feelings and atmosphere in the text.
Sensory images are classified as kinesthetic (touch), gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell), visual
(sight) and auditory (hearing).
Present the table to show a list of words that signal sensory images in the selection:
Visual
Mountain view
Dim light
Flaring eyes
Clear water
Dark alley
Bright light
Large mansion
