DPE-Reading Development (Wed 6:00-9:00 P.M.)
Lesson Plan
I. Objectives:
After reading the story, the pupils will be able to:
• identify the difficult words through the illustrations/pictures and stating its definition.
• create their own slogan about the insights they get from the story.
II. Subject Matter:
Story: King Midas and the Golden Touch
Reference:
III. Procedures:
A. Pre-reading
In your life experienced class, have you ever wished for something that the outcome of
it turns out to be your greatest fear that happen in your life?
(Note: If my class don’t have any responses I will share mine but I will ask them a
question after I share my experiences) Example:
Well it seems no one of you experienced it then I’ll share mine:
When I was in your age, I wished for many candies and chocolates to my parents I
always quarrelled my siblings because I took theirs as well and never share a part of it. I
ate for consecutive days until I had tooth ache, I cried because I can’t slept and the pain
hurt me bad. Do you know what I did?
(Pupil’s Responses: You stop eating candies and chocolates.)
Nope, I still eat chocolates and candies but not that much. And if my parents lend me
several chocolates and candies, some of it I shared to my classmates and siblings.
Good thing I was able to realize that one before all my teeth will be damage just like in
our story, there was a King that also wishes for something and let us find out what was
the effect.
But before that I will present four pictures and you will make a storyline out of the
picture and also through the pictures we will identify vocabulary words as I define the
word. Let’s start:

2. Picture 1:
This is a place where the king and princess lived? (castle)
The king has many gold and abundant possessions. Then the king is considered as a
_rich__ person.
Picture 2:
What do you call a slender rod that a fairy used?
Clue: it starts with letter “w” and it ends with letter d (wand)
Picture 3:
When you feel extremely bad or unpleasant, what do you feel?
Clue: starts with letter “h” and it has 8 letters. (horrible)

3. Picture 4:
This is to bring back to or put back into a former or original state?
Clue: starts with letter “r” and it has 7 letters. (restore)
Follow-up Question:
Through the pictures presented make a story and we will identify which prediction/s will
be the closest sequence from the story.
Predictive Reponses:
• In the castle there is a king who is very rich and he has a friend a fairy and they
play until all turns out to be gold.
• There was a king lived in a castle that is very rich and a fairy appeared to him to
grant his wish and everything turns out to be gold and even his daughter. So,
the king wants to take back what he wished for and then everything is restored.
• There was a king who lived in the castle and saw a fairy and turned to be his
daughter and everything turned into gold.
Good predictive responses before we will check that we will first know the story entitled
“King Midas and the Golden Touch.”
(I’ll write all their responses at the board after reading the story we will check again who
among the pupils has the closest predictive responses.)
B. During Reading:
I’ll use the Communicate Reading in which I’ll divide the class into two groups and they
will read the story alternately.
C. Post Reading:
I. Comprehension Check
Knowledge:
Question:
Who is the mysterious stranger appeared to King Midas while he was in his gold
room counting his money?
Possible Response:
The beautiful fairy boy.

4. Comprehension:
Question:
What does it implied to King Midas when he said, “As you see, I have this room
full of gold, but I should like much more; for gold is the best and the most
wonderful thing in the world”?
Possible Response:
It implies that King Midas was a greedy person and not contended of his
richness.
Application:
Question:
What approach would you use if you have the power to turn everything into
gold?
Possible Response:
Well, I will certainly use well and be very careful on what to touch.
Analysis:
Question:
What is the relationship between King Midas and the fairy boy?
Possible Response:
For me, fairy boy represents his conscience to show him the effect of what we
wished for.
Synthesis:
Question:
In the story we read today, what lesson/s have you learned?
Possible Response:
The lesson I learned is that material things can’t buy our true happiness.
Evaluation:
Question:
If you were in the shoes of King Midas will you wish the same? Why or Why not?
Possible Response:
I will not wish the same as King Midas did, for I already have possessions.

5. Verification of Prediction:
Now let’s check who among the predictions made the right possible sequence of the
story.
Predictive Reponses:
1. In the castle there is a king who is very rich and he has a friend a fairy and they
play until all turns out to be gold.
2. There was a king lived in a castle that is very rich and a fairy appeared to him to
grant his wish and everything turns out to be gold and even his daughter. So, the
king wants to take back what he wished for and then everything is restored.
3. There was a king who lived in the castle and saw a fairy and turned to be his
daughter and everything turned into gold.
Results:
The number 2 prediction is closest from the story sequence.
