Preliminaries/Motivation Good morning, everyone! Today we will start a new lesson. Before that, let us have a simple game which I know most of you are very familiar of—Jigsaw Puzzle. There will be two sets of puzzle. You have to form these puzzles on the board within 2 minutes and be able to identify what images were formed. The flags that you have here on the board are the national flags of the two Korean states that we know which are North Korea and South Korea.

So based from these Korean stories which you have seen, especially the love stories, what can you say about the Koreans when they are into love? Alright. We will understand better what Koreans do when it comes to love with this story that you are going to read. But before that, let me give you first this individual activity which is a crossword puzzle. You will do this in 3 minutes only. The words to find are:

e. Why is being faithful important? Can you share an experience when someone has been faithful or has shown faithfulness to you? So what makes it an essential element in human relationships such as friendship and in the family? What are its manifestations?

2. Reflection Write a short pledge of faithfulness or a promise to someone or something: your family, friend, studies, God, or even to your life’s dream and ambition. Just choose one. Be truthful and honest in what you will write. Do this for 2 minutes. Afterwards, fold your papers and put them inside this bottle.

3. Writing Skill: Using Cohesive Devices Kindly read the two paragraphs on the board. Which one is better? How can you say so? What are its differences?

That is right. So I think almost all agree that Paragraph B is better. This is because of these words that were used to connect one idea to the next. There is a clear flow of ideas. We call these words that were used as COHESIVE DEVICES. So what are cohesive devices? -They are like cues that help readers progress from one idea to another; -They show logical relationships among parts of a piece of writing as well as between sentences and paragraphs; -These include transition words and

Paragraph B sounds better and is more understandable than Paragraph A. This is because there are words between sentences that make them flow clearly from one idea to the next.

paragraph hooks; -They link sentences and paragraphs together smoothly so that there are no abrupt jumps or breaks between ideas. Because as we know there are many types of cohesive devices, I want you to identify under what type are the transition words which I gave each of you. Types: -Adding Information and also moreover furthermore in addition -Giving Examples for example for instance specifically in particular -Showing a Contrast but however on the other hand otherwise instead in contrast - Showing a Similarity likewise similarly in the same way - Showing a Result so as a result therefore thus as a consequence -Establishing Time Relation or Sequence first second finally in conclusion in summary meanwhile Using Transition Words and Phrases: -Put a comma after these if they are at the beginning of a sentence. example: I like to travel. Specifically, I enjoy places with old cathedrals. -Use a semicolon to connect the two sentences. example: I like to travel; specifically, I enjoy places with old cathedrals. -Use a comma before and after the transitional word/phrase in the middle of a clause. example: I like to travel, and, specifically, I enjoy places with old cathedrals.

What to Avoid in Using Cohesive Devices 1. Don’t use transition words at the end of a sentence/paragraph. 2. Don’t overuse transitions. Guided Practice A.

Answer the following questions and underline the transition words that helped you make your decision. (2 points) 1. Vietnamese and American cultures are sharply different. 2.

Americans may live far from their parents and grandparents. 5. Even if they’re in the same city, they rarely live in the same house. 6.

IV. EVALUATION Go back to the Tale of Ch’unhyang and list down 5-10 cohesive devices used in the story. Also, be able to identify what type of transition words are they. You can make a chart so that it will be easier for you. Choose 5 words and use them appropriately in your own sentences. Do this in a 1/2 sheet of paper for 10 minutes V. ASSIGNMENT Interview couples (or your parents) about their views on how commitment and faithfulness help build a lasting relationship. Make sure that these people have been together for quite a long time already (5 years onwards). You can have your documentation of the interview such as pictures, audio recordings or video.
