Recalling Experiences

Activity 1. What were the kinds of stories that you liked most and what are those that you least liked? Kindly explain you attitude
towards this kind of stories. Use the matrix to answer this task.

Type of Stories Why you liked? Why you Disliked?

Animal Stories The story that I like is "The Crow and the
Jug" because his infallible attitude of
never giving up. The Crow uses his
ingenuity and resourcefulness to solve his
problem and fly away as a happy bird.
The animal story that I don't like when I
was a child is "A wolf in sheep's clothing"
because the wolf disguise itself into sheep
to fool the other sheep into thinking that it
is one of their own.

Supernatural stories(e.g., ghost stories, When I was a child my favorite angel The story/movie that I don't like is "Shake,
angel stories) story/movie is "May Bukas Pa" because it Rattle & Roll because it's very scary.

good character that a person should have.

Superheroes ( Batman, Spiderman, the I am really fond of watching superheroes The superhero that I don't like is Batman
Hulk) and I once wished that I have because he doesn't have any
superpowers. I like Superman, why? It's superpowers.
because he is a supernatural being, he can
fly, flight and can't be defeated by just an
ordinary people. Superman has weakness

the way he fight against the bad people.

lesson from it. to fall down to his mouth.

Activity 2. Now that you are grown up, do these type of stories still appeal to you? Why? Explain briefly but substantially.

This type of stories still appeals me beacuse I've learned a lot of lesson from it. Just like the "Crow and the Jug", the lesson is to
continue what you're doing and don't give up. Also the stories and movies of superheroes gave me inspiration and enjoyment in my
childhood days. It was never a boring hobby to read/watch stories and movies because at the end of the story there is still a lesson
you can learn from it and it made me realize that between good and evil, good always wins.

5Closure
It’s time to wrap up your lesson. Reflect on your experiences and write your thoughts as required in this exit ticket.6

I learned how to identify literary
genre for children's literature. This
includes traditional, fiction and non-
fiction. These stories help guide how
we see, interpret and interact with
the world and develop interest in
reading children's literature.
I think there's still a need to learn
more about methods, strategies,
and pedagogies on how to discuss
these literary genres in the most
interesting and exciting way so that
the children will enjoy while
learning.
I could apply what I learned specially
us future teachers to our future
learners and provide strategies for
them to learn in the most effective
and interesting way.
