Students activity

(Students do as told).

Good morning maam.

Yes, maam.

Yes, maam.

Our lesson last meeting was all

about...
Yes, maam.

I will give you copies of the text

entitled Daedalus and Icarus
b. Presentation
The story that you had read is an
example of MYTH.
Daedalus and Icarus it discusses
adventures and mistakes of heroes
or characters.
c. Discussion
Do you know what Myth is?
Myth is an ancient story created to
explain natural events. Gods,
goddesses, and heroes are among
characters in myths.

Yes, maam.

Yes/no, maam.

In addition to explaining events in

nature, some myths also present a
lesson on how to live ,or serve as
a warning to follow societys rules.
Did you get me class?
Now, back to the story of Daedalus
and Icarus.
What does Daedalus his name
means?

Yes, maam.

Very good, Geraldine!

To test your mental abilities on
how you understand the story, I
will ask you some questions.

Daedalus his name means skilled

worker.

Are you ready?

Ransel stand up.
Who hired Daedalus?
Very good! Its very clear that you
really understand the story.

Yes we are.

Another question from the story.

What did Daedalus design to hold
the Minotaur?
Yes, thats it, Daedalus built the

The one who hired Daedalus was

king Minos.

Labyrinth to imprison the

monstrous half man, half bull
Minotaur.
Then, Daedalus managed to get
out of the Labyrinth, after all he
had built it and knew his way
around.

To hold the Minotaur, Daedalus

designed the Labyrinth.

Now, what did Daedalus invent to

help him and Icarus escape from
the Labyrinth?
Jenny youre raising your hand!
Exactly! Daedalus invented wings.
daedalus tried the wing on himself
and was satisfied that his plan
would work.
Am I right class?
Before taking off from the island,
Daedalus warned his son to follow
closely behind him.

Daedalus built wings for himself and

Icarus , fashioned with feathers hold
together with wax.

What did he warn Icarus not to do?

Yes, Alden.

Yes, maam.

Thank you Alden for sharing your

idea!
As Alden said awhile ago,
Daedalus warned his not to fly too
close the sun and not too close to
the sea.
They successfully flew Crete, but
Icarus grew exhilarated by the
thrill of flying and began careless.
The father and son passed the 3
islands and the further away from

He sternly warned Icarus not to fly

too close to the sun, as it would melt
his wings, and not too close to the
sea, as it would dampen them and
made it hard to fly.

Crete they flew, the cockier

became Icarus.
Forgetting his fathers advice,
Icarus flew too close to the sun.
Now, what happened to Icarus?

Thats it, Icarus drowned in the

sea because he did not listen to
the advice of his father.
Values Integration:
Do you think being an obedient to
your parents shows a good
attitude, class?

The wax holding together his wings

softened and melted from the heat
and Icarus could not prevent the
feathers from falling off his body.
Furiously he flapped his arm, but
soon no feathers at all were left and
he fell to his death, drowning in the
sea.

Yes, we should obey our parents

because they know what is best
for us.
Am I right?
d. Generalization
Based on the story that we had,
why is it called Myth?
Okay Shiela!

Yes, maam.

Yes, thats correct.

This morning our lesson is all
about Myths.
e. Application
