  Intentions Learners willtake their First Summative Test Learners will take their First Summative Test Learners will check the exam Learners will use visual stimuli, stream of consciousness, and Freudian psychoanalytic theory as lenses for examining inner conflict, desire, fear, identity, and character development in drama. Learners will synthesize their understanding of psychological context by analyzing selected excerpts, expressing empathy for characters, and reflecting on how drama deepens understanding of human behavior. Learning Competency and Curriculum Standards Content Standard: The learners demonstrate their multiliteracies and communicative competence in evaluating World literature (prose and drama) for clarity of meaning, purpose, and target audience as a foundation for publishing original literary texts that reflect their expanding cultural identity. Performance Standard: The learners analyze the style, form, and features of World literature (prose and drama); evaluate literary texts for clarity of meaning, purpose, and target audience; and compose and publish an original multimodal literary text (short film) that represents their meaning, purpose, and target audience and reflects their expanding cultural identity. Learning Competency: Analyze literary texts as expressions of individual or communal values within the psychological context.

  Learning Objectives Theexamination aims to assess students' understanding, application, analysis, and evaluation of the lessons covered during the course and to measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes. The examination aims to assess students' understanding, application, analysis, and evaluation of the lessons covered during the course and to measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes. Checking of the Test Papers By the end of Session 1, learners are expected to: (1) recall important themes and character developments in A Doll’s House; (2) define psychological context using lesson vocabulary such as actions, motives, emotions, and stream of consciousness; and (3) explain why examining characters’ inner thoughts and emotions is important in understanding drama. By the end of Session 2, learners are expected to: (1) read and analyze selected dialogue from A Doll’s House; (2) infer how thoughts, feelings, and motives are revealed through words and actions; (3) organize observations using a graphic organizer; and (4) share evidence-based conclusions about Nora and Torvald. Learner Context - Write your observations of your learners, and how they have been performing or responding to learning experiences recently. Include strengths, interests, and possible barriers to learning. The Grade 10 learners show strong interest when literary analysis is connected to familiar experiences such as family expectations, pressure to conform, friendship, self-discovery, and emotional well-being. Several learners can identify themes and character traits, but some need support in explaining textual evidence and distinguishing surface actions from deeper motives. Visual prompts, guided questions, pair discussion, role-playing, and graphic organizers may help learners participate more confidently and analyze drama with empathy and accuracy. Learning Experience The learning experience will move from review and vocabulary building to guided literary analysis, collaborative discussion, visual interpretation, theoretical application, reflective writing, and performance-based demonstration. Learners will work individually, in pairs, and in groups as they examine A Doll’s House through psychological context. Activities will support close reading, evidence-based interpretation, empathy, oral communication, and inclusive participation through visual organizers, role options, guided prompts, and alternative response formats.

  Pre-Lesson Flow - Describe theactivities that you can implement in 1 or more sessions to meet the learning objectives. Apply the Learning Design Principles by thinking about how to: - make the objectives clear for the learners - guide learners before letting them try the task on their own - check the state of the learners’ well-being, understanding, and mastery over the lesson - connect today's new concepts to past competencies - encourage collaboration among learners - invite learners to reflect on why this matters to them - ensure inclusion for learners’ varied abilities, learning styles, and contexts 1. Establishing purpose: Use a picture-based puzzle with images representing thoughts, emotions, and motivations. Ask learners what these images have in common and connect their answers to psychological context. 2. Vocabulary development: Introduce and clarify key terms: actions, motives, emotions, psychological context, and stream of consciousness. Model a word map using one term. Learners may add definitions, examples, images, real-life connections, or synonyms. 3. Explicitation: Explain that psychological context helps readers examine what characters think, feel, fear, desire, and believe. Connect this 1. Review and orientation: Remind learners that dialogue and action often reveal a character’s thoughts and motives. Present the lesson goal: to infer psychological motives from an excerpt of A Doll’s House. 2. Worked example: Read or display a short dialogue between Nora and Torvald. Model how to annotate a line, identify the speaker’s tone, infer an emotion or motive, and connect it to the character’s relationship. 3. Read, Mix, and Share: Distribute selected excerpts. Learners read independently, in pairs, or through assigned roles such as Nora and Torvald. When music plays, learners move around the classroom; when it stops, they pair up and discuss a guide question. Repeat

  to A Doll’sHouse, especially Nora’s journey toward self- understanding and independence. 4. Collaborative activity: Use Activity Sheet No. 1, Descriptive Web. Divide the class into four teams. Each team reads a short passage about psychological context in literature, breaks it into smaller ideas, shares personal or textual connections, and prepares a short report. Assign roles such as facilitator, notetakers, and analyzers to ensure participation. 5. Processing: Let groups present their findings. Guide learners to see that psychological analysis deepens reading because it reveals the complex mix of emotion, motivation, conflict, and identity behind a character’s actions. for three rounds with new partners and varied prompts. 4. Graphic organizer: Learners complete a graphic organizer with details about words, actions, tone, and possible motives. Encourage them to cite exact lines or paraphrased evidence. 5. Sharing and synthesis: Learners present conclusions about Nora and Torvald. The teacher emphasizes how Torvald’s pet names, dismissive remarks, and control over money reveal power imbalance, while Nora’s responses reveal compliance, inner conflict, and gradual self- realization. 6. Inclusion: Provide excerpts with highlighted lines, allow oral reporting, and let learners work with

  Opportunities for integration - Writedown any possibilities to meaningfully another learning area, special topic, or technology. Write N/A if none. Integration with Personal Development and Values Education through empathy, self- understanding, responsible communication, and respect for different experiences. Integration with writing through reflective journaling and evidence-based literary response. Assessment The teacher will assess learners’ ability to analyze a literary text within psychological context; identify emotions, motives, and inner conflicts; cite or paraphrase evidence from dialogue and action; apply stream of consciousness and Freudian psychoanalytic theory at an introductory level; participate in collaborative literary discussion; and express empathy through reflection, role-play, or written response. Formative Assessment - Create a task, activity or questions to evaluate learning and provide feedback every now and then. Include ways for learners to ask for guidance or support throughout each session. - Remember to provide appropriate accommodations so all learners can demonstrate their understanding (e.g., varied response formats, small group options, visual or auditory supports Summative test Summative test Summative test Task: Psychological Context Word Map and Exit Explanation Directions: Individually or in pairs, complete a word map for “psychological context.” Include at least three connected ideas such as thoughts, emotions, motives, behavior, inner conflict, or stream of consciousness. Then explain in 2-3 sentences why psychological context is useful in Task: Evidence-and- Inference Character Chart Directions: After reading a selected dialogue from A Doll’s House, complete a chart with three columns: Character’s Words/Actions, Possible Emotion or Motive, and Textual Evidence. Learners may work with a partner and may present orally if writing is difficult. The teacher gives feedback on whether the

  A. her self-discoveryand inner conflict B. only the number of rooms in the house C. only the date of publication D. only the names of the actors Answer Key: 1-B, 2-A, 3-B, 4-B, 5-A Ways Forward Use learners’ charts, group sharing, journals, and quiz results to identify who needs support in citing evidence, explaining motives, or applying psychological lenses. Provide a short follow-up mini-lesson on evidence-based inference if many learners rely on unsupported opinions. Offer enrichment by asking advanced learners to compare Nora’s psychological development with another character from a drama, film, or prose text. Extended learning opportunities - Suggest other learning experiences outside the classroom/class hours that learners may want to access to reinforce what they have learned, to spark their curiosities further, or that may provide them support in their areas of difficulty. Ask learners to watch a short scene from a movie, series, or stage performance at home and write a brief note on how one character’s emotion is shown through dialogue, facial expression, action, or silence. Learners may also interview a family member about a scene that made them feel empathy. Encourage learners to reread a short excerpt from A Doll’s House and underline words or actions that reveal control, fear, affection, independence, or self- discovery. They may create a two-column chart: “What the character says/does” and “What it may reveal.”

  Reflections - Think aboutwhat you need to change for the next session based on what happened today. Is there something the learners are interested in exploring? - Are there some things you would like to share with your co-teachers, parents, or school leaders about your classroom experience? What would you like your instructional coach to help you with? Learners were engaged by the picture-based puzzle and word mapping, but some needed help turning observations into precise literary explanations. In the next session, I will provide sentence starters such as “This suggests that…” and “The character may feel… because…”. Pair discussions helped learners notice details in dialogue, especially tone and pet names. However, a few learners made interpretations without textual support. I will reinforce evidence-based inference by modeling one more annotated example before independent work. A.
