TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENTS’ ACTIVITY

Presentation Students share their experiences.

How often do you get essay

assignments and when you start to
prepare it you end up staring at a
blank paper for hours. What do you
do then when nothing seems to come
in to your mind?

Discussion

Thank you for sharing.

This lesson aims to show you that

writing, contrary to what you might
think is a skill that can be learned and
improved, when you know how it
works and what works for you. I will

and its antecedents. Do you have
question? Any clarification?

Generalization Yes Ma’am.

Now class, let’s remember that an

antecedent is a word that comes
before a pronoun to which it refers
and also this pronoun is referred to as
the referent. Also, the antecedent
and the referent must agree in terms
or number, if the antecedent is
singular, the pronoun must also be
singular and plural pronouns are used
with plural antecedents.

Moreover, masculine gender

antecedent must take a masculine
pronoun and a feminine antecedent
must take a feminine pronoun, the
 neuter gender antecedent is
indicated by the pronoun it and its
and an indefinite pronoun which is
used as an antecedent may take
either the feminine or masculine
pronoun.

C. APPLICATION

 The class will be divided into five (5) learning groups.

 They will be given ten (10) minutes to answer the task.

Direction: Underline the pronoun used in each sentence and encircle and

THE LEGEND OF THE WHITE ROCK

by: Rene Estremera

Putting Bato (White Rock) is a popular tourist spot in Samal Island. (1) It is
known not only for its beauty but for its mystery as well. (2) It has puzzled both
natives and visitors alike.

A story was once told.

Two friends went up to explore the Puting Bato at eight in the morning but
(3) they were not able to return home. Six native island dwellers waited for
them to descend from the mountain. (4) They patiently waited for the safe
return of the climbers.

Hours had passed, but the hikers were still nowhere in sight. The eldest of
the natives frowned with concern. Though (5) he had expected this to happen,
the incident confirmed one thing. The supernatural beings spirits known to
inhabit this particular island peak have taken (6) their victims again.
 The natives remember (7) their elders telling stories about a similar
couple who climbed the peak thirty years ago. The pair was not able to return
home and was already considered dead by their relatives.

After six years, the two were seen again descending from the mountain.
(8) They amazingly bore no signs of aging or physical changes brought after six
years of absence.

The natives still patiently waited for a sign. (9) They were worried but
hopeful. If the lost pair won’t appear, (10) they would scale the mountain to
search for the hikers. If still unfound, they will see the hikers again six years from
now.
