(Teacher’s Activity)	(Students’ Activity)
Great morning class! So how are you doing?
	We are fine ma’am
Nice to hear that class, we have new lesson. This has something to do with Sacrificing. Did you ever sacrifice in your life?
	Yes ma’am
Would you mind sharing your experiences?
	(Student shares experiences)
Thank you class. You gave me precise justifications of how sacrifice should be. This time let us see how the writer conceives “sacrifice”
B. Post Reading Activity
	(eager to start)
Anyone who would like to read?
	Ma’am
	(the student starts reading)
Thank you Jane, did you understand class?
	Yes ma’am
Great! Now tell me how do you mean when we say, “ultimate sacrifice”?
	Ma’am
Yes Sarah.
	Ultimate sacrifice is being selfless.
Wow, it’s short however it’s deep. Would you mind to extend your answer?
	Ultimate because it’s the best yet it is the hardest thing a person could do for someone being moved by the power of love.
Very good. You had given us a thorough and intellectual answer. Is there anyone who has another answer? Yes Cathy?
	When we say “Ultimate” we conclude that it is vital however, when we say “sacrifice” is giving up for the benefit of someone you love.
Nice answer Cathy. Your definition of Ultimate Sacrifice is synonymous to Sarah’s definition. Agree class?
	Yes ma’am
Class do you agree with your classmates?
	Yes ma’am
Yes you certainly should because when we say “Ultimate Sacrifice, we mean to say Love” You can never sacrifice without loving. Understood?
	Yes ma’am
Tell me why do you think is the reason the story is entitled “Ultimate Sacrifice”
	Ma’am
Yes Jason?
	The story was entitled “Ultimate Sacrifice” because Linda has loved.
Very good, you are now using the concepts you learned. Is there anyone who has another answer? Yes Bert?
	“Ultimate Sacrifice” because if we are to analyse the situation we can conclude that Linda understand what her life was meant for.
Thank you Bert, but how did you say so?
	Linda in the story took her every chance of making her life worth. We could remember the way she used her talent before she dies, she’s hopeless but she remained faithful to God.
Very nice Bert. He has very good points. Anyone who would like to extend his answers? Yes John?
	Ma’am Bert says that Linda was faithful to God. I agree with him although this was not mentioned in the story. We can only conclude it since Linda knew that there are people who need it more than she does.
Very good John.  What did Linda give? Yes Tommy?
	She gave her eyes ma’am
Good, what about given the chance to donate a part of your body, what would you give? Why? Yes Marian?
	(the students start answering)
Very well said Marian. Let us give a round of applause to your classmates.
