The document provides a detailed lesson plan for a 7th grade class on analyzing a Mangyan poem called "Ambahan". The objectives are for students to read the poem clearly, appreciate poetry, learn new words, and develop reading skills. The lesson involves introducing the poem, defining terms like lyric poetry, reading and analyzing the poem together line by line, and discussing what it reveals about Mangyan courtship traditions. Students are asked to identify unfamiliar words and figures of speech. They conclude that the poem uses personification and describes the moon staying in the sky so the speaker has more time to court his love at night, as was the Mangyan custom.
