1. Motivation

Yesterday, I asked you to read the story of “The New Dress” written by Virginia Woolf. Did you read it at home, class?

Good! So, how do you find the story?

Excellent! Since, you have already a background of the story; let’s have an activity for you to understand it more.

I have here envelopes that contain strips of cartolina which engraves the words that are related to the main character of the story. What you’ll have to do is to give meaning to the letters of that particular word. I will provide a yarn for each group, and the one who will speak first will hold the yarn, and he after which, will hold the end of the yarn and pass it on to another group member, and so on until you finished giving meaning to each letter of the word. You’ll have 3 minutes to brainstorm. You may now start.

Words inside the envelope:o INSECURE

Students’ Activity

Yes, Ma’am.

The story is interesting for it doesn’t only narrate the situation of the main character, but the lives of the readers as well.

o FOOLISHo AWKWARD

Time’s up! Let’s now listen to the groups as they give meaning to the words or characteristics possessed by the main character.

What have you noticed to the words that you have given meaning?

Are some of the words in the text clear to you?

For you to understand it more, let’s trigger your mind first. What you’ll do is to match column A with column B, and you are going to guess the meaning of the words based on the picture that will be shown on the board. After this, you’re going to create your own sentences using the vocabulary words. These are the vocabulary words you’ve encountered in the reading text. Are you now ready?

The New Dress (A Summary)

Mabel Waring arrives at Clarrisa Dalloway’s party and is instantly consumed by feelings of insecurity and inferiority as she took her cloak off. These negative feelings are set off by concerns that her new dress is not appropriate for the occasion. Immediately after greeting her hostess, she goes straight to a mirror at the far of the room to look at herself and is filled with misery at the conviction that “It was not right.” What she thought that evening that she will be a beautiful woman has petered out and begins to berate herself for trying to appear “original. She had a yellow silk dress made from an outdated pattern. When the stylishly dressed Rose Shaw tells her that the dress is “perfectly charming,” Mabel is sure she is being mocked.

Mabel thought and told herself, “We are all flies trying to crawl over the edge of the saucer,” all looking alike and with the same goals. But she cannot make herself see the others in this light. She tells another guest that she feels like “some dowdy, decrepit, horribly dingy old fly.” Robert Haydon tried to cheer her up but Mabel feel that he was insincere on what he says. Mabel asked herself why she can’t feel that Miss Milan was right when she told her that she should love coming to a room full of people. Her feelings toward her have changed.

Back to reality, she is staring at the picture and tells Charles Burt, “It is old-fashioned,” as if she refers to the picture and not to the dress. She hopes that he will say that she looks charming, but he only makes her ashamed in the party and everyone laughs at her. Mrs. Holman talks to Mabel and shares her family story and Mabel thought

Yes, Ma’am.

M B S B | 4

Holmans are like a row of cormorants, barking and flapping their wings for sympathy. But Mabel thought she’s more than that for she is a feeble, vacillating creature.

Mabel thinks about her unremarkable family and upbringing, her dreams of romance in far-away lands, and the reality of her marriage to a man with “a safe, permanent underling’s job.” She thinks about isolated moments in her life—characterized as “delicious” and “divine”—when she feels happy and fulfilled. She determines to pursue personal transformation through “some wonderful, helpful, astonishing book” or an inspirational public speaker. She gets up to leave the party, assuring Mrs. Dalloway that she has enjoyed herself.

Post-listening

Do you understand the content of the story, class?

Now, I will flash on the screen the summary that I read to you but this time you are going to fill in the blanks with the information needed. Are you now ready?

Let’s have a warm-up activity before answering the guide questions. I have here something that will give you an “authority” to tell the story of Mabel to us. I will put on this on me first and I’ll narrate the first part of the story, and I’ll pass it on to you and recount the story. This will be pass on to one another until the story ends. Say what it is written on it first, then tell something about the story.

Very good, class! I’m sure that you already know the answers on our guide questions posted on the board. But before answering them, I have here a box that contains some tasks that you’re going to do before or during the answering of questions. Areyou now excited?

(Students answer the guide questions)

Answers vary

It depicts insecurities and pessimistic view.

Answers vary

Ma’am, subject, linking verb, and complement.

Subject is what or who is being talked about in the sentence.

The words “we” and “she.”

Ma’am, it connects the subject and the complement.

“Are” and “looked” are the LV in the sentences.

Ma’am, the first sentence contains the complement “flies” which functions as a noun; and “foolish” and “self-conscious” are the complements in the

second sentence which act as an adjective.

Ma’am, a complement gives emphasis to the subject or describes it.

5. Generalization

Today, we have learned two different important things. First is Mabel Waring’s story, and the other one is S-LV-C pattern. Can you give some information you have learned from the S-LV-C pattern?

Good! How about the story of “The New Dress?”

What do you think is the relation of S-LV-C pattern to Mabel’s life?

In constructing sentences, several patterns can be used to observe its correctness. When you follow such patterns, a sentence could have a sense of direction. Mabel’s life is so dull because she has no patterns to follow to omit her inferiority within her. She could also make use of the S-LV-C pattern.

S- implicityLV- loveC- onfidence

6. Evaluation

Arrange the jumbled words inside the parentheses and rewrite the following sentences applying S-LV-C pattern.

1. (was, unconfident, Mabel) about her appearance.

2. The ______ around her ______ ______. (perfect, people, felt)

3. ______ _______ an enjoyable _________. (it, party, was)

4. ________ ________ always ________ to her.(concern, Mrs. Dalloway, was)

5. Her _____ _______ _____. (was, old-fashioned, new dress)

S-LV-C is the simplest pattern in constructing sentences. It is composed of a subject, a linking verb, and a complement.

Always value yourself Insecurities and inferiority lead you to a

negative side of life. Always be yourself no matter what
