B. Lesson Proper

1. Motivation
Now class, I want you to work with
another classmate and discuss the
meaning of the following quote:
I will give you two minutes to interpret
this quote.

A friend in need is a friend in deed. A person who still remains our loyal to us even
in our difficult times is a true friend.

What is your idea of friendship and how A: My idea of friendship is that they are like
do you choose your friends? your family whom you can trust and someone
you can share your ups and down. When you
choose friends it’s because you feel that both of
you have a connection and you are not afraid to
 show them who you really are because they
won’t judge you.
Very well said!

Unlocking of Difficulties
For you to understand the story better, let us try to
get the meanings of these words. These words are
included in the story that I assigned to you. But
you need to answer these words by playing a
game called “Pass the Box”. I will play a music
and you will pass this box with your classmate.
When the music stops the student with the box
has to answer a question and find the meaning of
vocabulary words through 4 pics one word. After
guessing the word give me a sentence using it

It seems that you really understood the play,

“Driving Miss Daisy. Now let us continue our
lesson. One of the most enjoyable elements in
Driving Miss Daisy is the naturalness of
dialogue.
Dialogue is a conversational passage in a play
used to advance the plot or develop the
characters. For the fiction writer the challenge
is to create a dialogue that advances the plot
Types of Dialogue
Inner Dialogue – In inner dialogue, the characters
speak to themselves and reveal their personalities.
To use inner dialogue, writers employ literary
techniques like stream of consciousness or
dramatic monologue. We often find such
dialogues in the works of James Joyce, Virginia
Wolf, and William Faulkner.
Internal dialogue is used by authors to indicate
what a character is thinking.
Outer Dialogue- exists between two (or more)
characters and is said “out loud” Outer dialogue
punctuated with quotation marks. Each new
speaker requires a new paragraph and indentation.
IV. Application
On a one whole sheet of paper, Compose a (Students do the activity)
dialogue between you and Hoke persuading him
to study even if he is already old.
V. Generalization
1. Describe Daisy by the time Hoke exits.
What does she feel about herself after
realizing her wrong judgment of others?

2. Describe Daisy by the time Hoke exits.

What does she feel after realizing her
wrong judgement of others?
