Procedure Teacher’s Activity

Students’ Activity

A. Routine Activities

Good Morning Class!

Good Morning ma’am!

Please keep silent in one minute

(students will pray)

and say your personal prayers.

B. Motivation Okay class before we proceed to our lesson, we will play a game called “Pass the message!”

Your groupings will depend on what line you are in. The first line will be the Group 1, second line will be the Group 2 and the rest will follow. Choose one representative who will be the first one to receive the statement from me. Mechanics: I will tell a phrase and you will pass it backwards. The last person will be the one who will tell me the exact word that I have said.

Are we clear?

Yes ma’am! Okay. Let us begin.

Group 1: “I am definitely fine” Group 2: “Forever do exist” Group 3: “Things happen for a reason” Group 4: “Positivity is beauty” Group 5: “Be who you wanted to be”

I will give you 3 minutes to pass the message and then the speaker will proceed here in front to tell me the exact line.

Are we clear?

“Yes ma’am”

(After 3 minutes)

Group 1: Ma’am said, “I am definitely fine.” Group 2: Ma’am said that forever do exist. Group 3: Ma’am said “Things happen for a reason” Group 4: Ma’am said that positivity is beauty. Group 5:

So class, what have you observe with

Ma’am said, “Be who you want to be.”

So class, what have you observe with these statements?

The first and second statements are quoted while the others uses the word “that”.

Very Good! So now, we are going to tackle about Direct and Indirect speech.

C. Presentation

Everybody read the statement. “The shaking was so strong I could hardly stand,” coast guard personnel Rayner Neil Elopre told The Associated Press by telephone. That statement is from Inquirer News with regards of the earthquake in Surigao as of February 11, 2017, 1:33pm.

Analyze the statement. So what form of speech is this one?

Ma’am, the statement is in direct form of speech.

Is it Direct or Indirect? How can you say that? Prove your anwer.

It is a direct speech because it is quoted and those were the exact words of the coast guard personnel.

Very Good!

So class, let us first define Direct speech.

Okay, from your observation, how

Direct speech gives the exact words of

the speaker.

Very Good!

Please read the definition. Yes, _____.

Direct speech is usually placed inside quotation marks and accompanied by a reporting verb.

In Direct speech, what a person says appears within quotation marks and should be word for word.

Have you seen it in the example?

Yes ma’am!

Now, let’s have this example.

Police officer Jimmy Sarael said that he,

his wife, and their children embraced each other until the shaking eased.

Okay, what have you observed now?

Ma’am I have observed that the

Yes, _____.

statement doesn’t use quotations.

Very Good!

What do we call that form of speech?

Ma’am it is called indirect speech.

Yes, _____.

Very Good!

In Indirect speech, we don’t use quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it doesn’t have to be word for word.

There are rules when changing the tense of verb when converting a direct speech into indirect speech.

Direct speech: Present simple She said, "It is cold." Indirect speech: Past simple Try to convert it class.

She said it was cold.

(the teacher will convert it through paper strips)

D.S: Present continuous She said, "I'm teaching English online."

I.S: Past continuous She said she was teaching English

(the student will be the one to

convert it in front) I.S: Past perfect simple

D.S: Present perfect simple

since 1999."

D.S: Present perfect continuous

I.S: Past perfect continuous

English for seven years."

for seven years.

D.S: Past simple

I.S: Past perfect

She said, "I taught online

She said she had taught online

yesterday."

yesterday.

I.S: Past perfect continuous She said she had been teaching earlier. D.S: Past continuous Try to convert an indirect speech into a direct speech. D.S: Past perfect She said, "The lesson had already started when he arrived." I.S: Past perfect NO CHANGE - She said the lesson had already started when he arrived. D.S: Past perfect continuous She said, "I'd already been teaching for five minutes." I.S: Past perfect continuous NO CHANGE - She said she'd already been teaching for five

She said, "I was teaching earlier."

minutes.

Modal verb forms also sometimes change:

Direct speech: will She said, "I'll teach English online tomorrow." Indirect speech: would She said she would teach English online tomorrow. I.S: could Try to convert the following:

She said she could teach English online.

D.I: can She said, "I can teach English online." D.S: must She said, "I must have a computer to teach English online." I.S: had to She said she had to have a computer to teach English online. D.S: shall Convert the following into Direct

speech.

I.S: should She asked what we should learn today.

D.S: may

She said, "May I open a new browser?"

I.S: might She asked if she might open a new browser.

Note: There is no change to; could, would, should, might and ought to. Direct speech "I might go to the cinema", he said. Indirect speech He said he might go to the cinema. None ma’am. Are we clear with Direct and Indirect speech?

Is there any question? Very Good Class!

C, Application

Now let us proceed to your activity.

I will group you into 2 groups. This side will be the group 1 and the other side will be the Group 2. Group 1 will read the speech in front and the Group 2 will serve as

Yes ma’am!

the audience. Later, you will exchange roles. Role of Media in the Society Are we clear?

by Amarendra Kishore

Group 1 please proceed in front. Today television channels and newspapers are making fast money by cashing on the news in wrong sense and wrong way. In the race to become more popular and to make money they have broken all the limits media must follow while serving to build a healthy and progressive society. They have no respect for the sentiments and ethics of the people and land whom they serve to, with their immense power to influence the masses they just make judgment like a true dictator rather than a good advice of a true friend as they previously used to do. If it will be going in the future then we people have to think about the role Okay, Very Good!

of media in our life.

(Group 2 will read the speech)

Group 2, it’s your turn.

Okay class, we often give information about what people say or think. To do this, we either use direct or indirect speech.

Now, I want you to get ½ crosswise. Write about the author’s thoughts

about the role of media in the society.

I will give you 10 minutes to do that. Are we clear?
