*Introduction of the new lesson: Spotlight of the author ( show the picture of the
author) introduce a brief history/background Our lesson for today is about the poem
title MOTHER TO SON by Langston Hughes .But before we discuss the poem let us
first know who the genius behind the poem is. He is Langston Hughes a black
American and was born on February 1, 1902, in Joplin, Missouri. He published his
first poem in 1921. He attended Columbia University, but left after one year to travel.
His poetry was later promoted by Vachel Lindsay, and Hughes published his first book
in 1926. He went on to write countless works of poetry, prose and plays, as well as a
popular column for the Chicago Defender. He died on May 22, 1967. Now that we
have known who Langston Hughes is, lets unlock the difficult words inside the poem
before we tackle it. III.PROCEDURE/Activity : Guide the students to the context of
the poem by unlocking the difficult words. Engage them to active control in playing
the FAST AND FURIOUS where they will form a small group. Ask them to count in
number heads one to four and join with their groups using their group sign numbers.
Make them choose a group representative, reporter as well as a group yells for the
group presentation. I want you to count one to four number head starts here. Go to
your group using group sign numbers dont make unnecessary noise to avoid minus
score. From your group choose a group representative to play in our game call the
FAST AND FURIOUS, a reporter as well as a group yell for your group presentation.
You may join to your group now Group sign number: Group 1: Group 2: Group 3:
Group 4: Engage the group representative in playing the FAST AND FURIOUS call
them to form a line in the starting point. Clarify the mechanics/ Instruction in playing
the game. All group representatives please come in the starting point to play the FAST
AND FURIOUS. Instruction: Each word has its corresponding meaning. Every score
you will have will depend on the correct answers you got from the unlocking of
difficulties in our game call FAST and FURIOUS. When the correct meaning of the
word is given the group representative should ask anyone from the group to use the
unlock word into a sentence for additional points. NOTE: You can only place and get
the corresponding answer of the word under the signal "GO". One correct answer is
equivalent to one point. WORD MEANING Crystal----------- a single grain or mass of
a crystalline substance
Stair ------------ series of steps for going from one level to another
Tacks--------- a short ,sharp pointed nail,
usually with a flat board head
Splinters --------a small, thin, sharp of wood split or broken from the main body.

After playing the FAST AND FURIOUS ask the group representative to be with their
