IV. Procedure

A. Motivation

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

Good morning, class! Good morning, Ms. Fabe.

Yesterday, we watched five diffe-

rent pinoy movie trailers, right? Yes, ma’am.

I also asked you to observe their

lines and on how they deliver them.
So for this morning, I want you to go
to your same groups and you will
enact the famous lines from the pinoy
movies which we watched yes-
terday, okay? Okay, ma’am.

I will assign one movie trailer to each

group and you will deliver the lines
according to how they should be
delivered, okay? You will be given 3
minutes to prepare and 30 seconds
to perform. Are we clear? Yes, ma’am.

(Students go to their groups)

Group 1: Maybe this Time

Group 2: Starting Over Again
Group 3: Praybeyt Benjamin
Group 4: Labs kita, Okey ka lang?
Group 5: One More Chance

(Students perform the role play)

What have you observed in the

activity? The activity allowed us to
characterize, ma’am.

Yes, very good! The activity indeed,

is about characterization. What do
we do when we characterize? When we characterize, it means
we have to act according to our
character or characters in the
story.
Excellent!

B. Presentation

Before we know how to

characterize well, we should first
know and understand the basic
knowledge on the type of characters
according to development. So our
lesson for today will be about Static
and Dynamic. But before that, I want
you to read a short story entitled
“The Father”.

C. Unlocking of Difficulties

While reading, you will encounter a

 few difficult words. For you to compre-
hend the story well, let us first
define those words. Okay? Yes, ma’am.

1. Priest’s Study
2. Earnest
3. Peasant
4. Hesitate
5. Gravely
6. Banns
7. Thwart
8. Shriek
9. Oar
10. Gard

D. Reading of the story

Now that you already know the

meaning behind those words, I will
give you 10 minutes to read the story
entitled “The Father”.

The Father
by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson

The man whose story is here to be told was the wealthiest and most influential
person in his parish; his name was Thord Overaas. He appeared in the priest's study one
day, tall and earnest. "I have gotten a son," said he, "and I wish to present him for
baptism." "What shall his name be?" "Finn,—after my father." "And the sponsors?"
They were mentioned, and proved to be the best men and women of Thord's relations in
the parish. "Is there anything else?" inquired the priest, and looked up. The peasant
hesitated a little. "I should like very much to have him baptized by himself," said he, finally.
"That is to say on a week-day?" "Next Saturday, at twelve o'clock noon." "Is there anything
else?" inquired the priest. "There is nothing else;" and the peasant twirled his cap, as
though he were about to go. Then the priest rose. "There is yet this, however," said he,
and walking toward Thord, he took him by the hand and looked gravely into his eyes:
"God grant that the child may become a blessing to you!"

One day sixteen years later, Thord stood once more in the priest's study. "Really,
you carry your age astonishingly well, Thord," said the priest; for he saw no change
whatever in the man. "That is because I have no troubles," replied Thord. To this the priest
said nothing, but after a while he asked: "What is your pleasure this evening?" "I have
come this evening about that son of mine who is to be confirmed to-morrow." "He is a
bright boy." "I did not wish to pay the priest until I heard what number the boy would have
when he takes his place in church to-morrow." "He will stand number one.' "So I have
heard; and here are ten dollars for the priest." "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
inquired the priest, fixing his eyes on Thord. "There is nothing else." Thord went out.
 Eight years more rolled by, and then one day a noise was heard outside of the
priest's study, for many men were approaching, and at their head was Thord, who
entered first. The priest looked up and recognized him. "You come well attended this
evening, Thord," "I am here to request that the banns may be published for my son; he is
about to marry Karen Storliden, daughter of Gudmund, who stands here beside me."
"Why, that is the richest girl in the parish." "So they say," replied the peasant, stroking back
his hair with one hand. The priest sat a while as if in deep thought, then entered the names
in his book, without making any comments, and the men wrote their signatures
underneath. Thord laid three dollars on the table. "One is all I am to have," said the priest."I
know that very well; but he is my only child, I want to do it handsomely."
The priest took the money. "This is now the third time, Thord, that you have come here on
your son's account." "But now I am through with him," said Thord, and folding up his
pocket-book he said farewell and walked away. The men slowly followed him.

A fortnight later, the father and son were rowing across the lake, one calm, still
day, to Storliden to make arrangements for the wedding. "This thwart is not secure," said
the son, and stood up to straighten the seat on which he was sitting. At the same moment
the board he was standing on slipped from under him; he threw out his arms, uttered a
shriek, and fell overboard. "Take hold of the oar!" shouted the father, springing to his feet
and holding out the oar. But when the son had made a couple of efforts he grew stiff.
"Wait a moment!" cried the father, and began to row toward his son. Then the son rolled
over on his back, gave his father one long look, and sank.

Thord could scarcely believe it; he held the boat still, and stared at the spot where
his son had gone down, as though he must surely come to the surface again. There rose
some bubbles, then some more, and finally one large one that burst; and the lake lay
there as smooth and bright as a mirror again. For three days and three nights people saw
the father rowing round and round the spot, without taking either food or sleep; he was
dragging the lake for the body of his son. And toward morning of the third day he found
it, and carried it in his arms up over the hills to his gard.

It might have been about a year from that day, when the priest, late one autumn
evening, heard someone in the passage outside of the door, carefully trying to find the
latch. The priest opened the door, and in walked a tall, thin man, with bowed form and
white hair. The priest looked long at him before he recognized him. It was Thord. "Are you
out walking so late?" said the priest, and stood still in front of him. "Ah, yes! it is late," said
Thord, and took a seat. The priest sat down also, as though waiting. A long, long silence
followed. At last Thord said: "I have something with me that I should like to give to the
poor; I want it to be invested as a legacy in my son's name."

He rose, laid some money on the table, and sat down again. The priest counted
it. "It is a great deal of money," said he. "It is half the price of my gard. I sold it today." The
priest sat long in silence. At last he asked, but gently: "What do you propose to do now,
Thord?" "Something better." They sat there for a while, Thord with downcast eyes, the
priest with his eyes fixed on Thord. Presently the priest said, slowly and softly: "I think your
son has at last brought you a true blessing." "Yes, I think so myself," said Thord, looking up,
while two big tears coursed slowly down his cheeks.

E. Comprehension Check

Are you done reading, class? Yes, ma’am.

Can anyone tell me what the story

is all about? Yes, Sophie? The story is about a father who
wanted to give everything to
his son through money.

Very good! The father thought that

anything can be paid by money.
Given that fact, how would you
describe the father? Kyle? The father is arrogant, ma’am.

Why do you say so? The father is arrogant because

being the wealthiest man in their
parish, he wanted everything to
be perfect and grand.

Very good, Kyle! What else? The father is also arrogant

because he wanted his son to be
number one among his peers.
To do that, he paid the priest.

Perfect! Now you said that the

father is arrogant and he wanted
to do everything for his son, right?
After giving everything, what happened
to his son? His son died while they were
rowing, ma’am.

Good! And what did he realize after

that one? The father realized that he should
have been humble and
generous to the poor instead of
spending all his wealth just to
prove that he really is the
wealthiest man.

Brilliant!

F. Discussion

Now for us to know what type of cha-

racter according to development the
father is, let us get to know the definition
of a character development.

When we say character development, it

refers to the process of creating a belie-
vable character in fiction by giving the
character depth and personality.

There are two types of character accor-

ding to development: Static and Dynamic.
An example of a static character is Nathaniel
from the teleserye Nathaniel. All throughout
the story, from the beginning until the end,
he remained a good boy. Therefore, Nathaniel’s
character in the teleserye did not change.
out from that example, what do you think is
a static character? A static character doesn’t
change, ma’am.

Very good! Essentially, a static character

is largely the same person at the end of the
story as he was in the beginning. More
compelling, heroic and charismatic characters
often work better as static characters than ones
who must undergo change to appeal to
the audience and to significantly affect
a story.

Opposite to the static character, we have

the dynamic character. A dynamic character
is a type of character who goes through
a major life transition, have a coming-of-
age-experience, pull through trials, mature,
have a change of heart or develop more
likeable qualities or take a turn for the worse.

The only difference between the two is

development itself. Understood? Yes, ma’am.

Very good.

G. Generalization

How many types of characters according

to development do we have again? Two, ma’am.

What are those? Static and dynamic.

Good! What’s the difference between

the two? A static character does not
change while a dynamic cha-
racter changes.

Very good!

H. Valuing

Going back to the story “The Father”,

how important is it for us to have
humility? To be humble, ma’am, is very
important because whenever
we reach something at a higher
level, as long as we keep our
feet on the ground, we will never
get hurt when failure starts to
pull us down.

Excellent! Also, your lesson 3’s theme

in your books is “transcending borders”,
right? Yes, ma’am.

What do you think is the relevance of

discussing static and dynamic characters
in transcending borders? It is important, ma’am, because
for us to transcend borders from
one another, we have to know
how to adjust. To do that, we
have to know the different types
of characters, or personalities, in
our case.

Good!

I. Application

To test whether or not you have

really understood our lesson, I want
you to go back to your groups and
then you form a small circle.

(Students go to their groups)

This time, I am going to show you

some pictures of familiar characters
from both past and recent
television shows. What you are going
to do is to simply identify whether or
 not these characters are static or dy-
namic. You write your answers on
the given whiteboards and I will give
you only 10 seconds to answer. After
10 seconds, you raise your boards.
Okay? Okay, ma’am.
