So the thing to do when working on a motorcycle, as in any other task, is to

surroundings. When that is done successfully then everything else follows
naturally. Peace of mind produces right values, right values produce right
thoughts. Right thoughts produce right actions and right actions produce
work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at
the center of it all.
—Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
With an artistic drama we empathize with one or more of its characters, but
there‘s also a distance between us and their situation—a safety valve that
allows us to express a range of emotions, but also to say, ―It‘s only a movie,‖
―It‘s only a play.‖, ―It‘s only a novel.‖ Work is based upon problem solving,
how to eliminate conflict and get the job done. Episodic is fine for work. We
want day-by-day not confrontational trauma—even if it would lead to life-
changing revelation. But drama exaggerates conflict, pushes situations to
their extreme and leads us to a big turning point.
In a poem entitled Four Great Poets, Robert Francis puts his finger on the
heart of Frost‘s greatness: ―His head carved out of granite O / His hair
wayward drifts of snow / He worshipped the great God of Flow / By holding
on and letting go.‖ Here‘s an example from part of one of Frost‘s lesser
known pieces, For Once, Then, Something. In the first half he says friends
rebuke him for looking into a well and seeing only himself, reflected in the
water godlike in a wreath of ferns and cloud puffs. It‘s a criticism that could
be aimed at any writer, but what is as interesting as the meaning of Frost‘s
reply is this sense of movement that carries the reader forward to the
climatic end.
DHAKA: Hosts Bangladesh will meet Pakistan in the opening match of the
four-nation Asia Cup cricket tournament starting in Dhaka in March, an
official said on Monday. Old rivals Pakistan and India will meet in a mouth-
watering clash on March 18. The Sher-e-Bangla National stadium will host all
the matches, including the inaugural tie on March 12 and the final on
March 22, Asian Cricket Council chief executive Syed Ashraful Huq said. ―All
teams including India and Pakistan have confirmed their participation,‖ he
said. India won the last edition of the tournament in Dambulla in Sri Lanka in
June 2010.
Assessment:
TASK 4: CHECKPOINT
Identify the text type of the following articles as journalistic,
informative, or literary.
1. There were once five-and-twenty tin soldiers, who were all brothers, for they
had been made out of the same old tin spoon. They shouldered arms and
looked straight before them, and wore a splendid uniform, red and blue. The
first thing in the world they ever heard were the words, "Tin soldiers!" uttered by
a little boy, who clapped his hands with delight when the lid of the box, in
which they lay, was taken off. They were given him for a birthday present, and
he stood at the table to set them up. The soldiers were all exactly alike,
excepting one, who had only one leg; he had been left to the last, and then
there was not enough of the melted tin to finish him, so they made him to
stand firmly on one leg, and this caused him to be very remarkable.
2. What can we do to have a healthy circulatory system? Don't smoke! ...Take
vitamin E to keep the arteries supple. Eat those fresh vegetables and fruit that
supply you with antioxidants – very good for your heart. Eat fish instead of red
meat – much better for your heart.
3. First identified in the 1950s, dengue is spread by the female Aedes aegypti
mosquito; the first documented cases were in the Philippines and Thailand. The
disease has since struck worldwide, with over 100 countries at risk and 390
million infections yearly. It takes 4-10 days to become obvious, with a high
fever and flu-like symptoms. (But that‘s exactly what it‘s not. It‘s important not
to mistake it for the common flu.) It does not have a cure. The only thing to be
We are an emerging division where excellence is a habit and allegiance for quality is a pledge.
done is to maintain the patient‘s bodily fluids until the disease runs its course.
It‘s crucial that dengue be detected early, as the proper medical attention
can lower mortality from 20 percent to just under 1 percent. Left unchecked or
identified, dengue kills.
4. True!-nervous--very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am! but why will
you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses--not
destroyed--not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard
all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How,
then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily--how calmly I can tell
you the whole story.
5. Arroyo, who was recently re-elected to a third term as Pampanga
representative, received her release papers from the Sandiganbayan after
the high tribunal‘s ruling was released earlier in the day saying the antigraft
court erred in its findings that the former President personally benefited from
intelligence funds of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
6. Dengue cases rise by 36% nationwide, says DOH. For 39-year-old housewife
Maribel, the rainy season used to bring happy memories of her childhood as
she and her siblings would frolic in the heavy downpour. But not anymore. Not
since a year ago when she almost lost her 8-year-old daughter to dengue
hemorrhagic fever, the more severe form of dengue fever, a viral infection
transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
7. I was sick, sick unto death, with that long agony, and when they at length
unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me.
The sentence, the dread sentence of death, was the last of distinct
accentuation which reached my ears. After that, the sound of the inquisitorial
voices seemed merged in one dreamy indeterminate hum.
8. Nicotine is one of the most harmful and widely available legal drugs in the
world. It's addictive and harmful both to smokers and the people passively
exposed to smoke, especially children. If you'd like to give up smoking, but
don't know where to begin, create a structured plan.
9. President Duterte on Thursday appealed for an end to violence, ahead of his
first address to Congress in which he said he would call for an end to conflicts.
―I don‘t see anything good coming out of this war. For the sake of our children,
we have to stop this war,‖ the President told a gathering of government
troops, policemen, people displaced by conflict and local officials. It was Mr.
Duterte‘s first visit to a province in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
(ARMM) since assuming the presidency on June 30.
10. How to keep your hair healthy? Wash your hair two to three times a week.
Avoid hot showers. Shampoo your scalp, not your roots. Towel-dry your hair
before applying conditioner. Brush your hair twice a day, from the bottom up.
Use a low-heat setting for hair-drying and point the nozzle down, not side-on.
Try castor oil, hair oil and dry shampoo.

The Day of Destiny
from Morte D‘Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory
Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte D’Arthur is the most complete single version of the tales of King
Arthur and his court that has been written in English.
“The Day of Destiny,” an excerpt from this work, describes the end of King Arthur’s reign and
the dissolution of the order which he, along with his Knights of the Round Table, has established.
This end grows out of the corruption within the royal court itself. Arthur’s illegitimate son Mordred
knows of the secret love affair between Arthur’s wife, Queen Guinevere, and his best friend, Sir
Lancelot. One night Mordred leads a band of knights to Guinevere’s chamber, where they find
the Queen with Lancelot.
Although he is reluctant, Arthur feels obligated to obey the law of the land and burn his wife
at the stake. However, at the last minute Lancelot rescues her, killing two knights who are
guarding her. Lancelot subsequently flees to a castle in France and Arthur forgives Guinevere. Sir
Gawain, the brother of the dead knights, demands vengeance on Lancelot. His hatred forces
Arthur to lead his men on an attack against Lancelot’s French fortress. In the ensuing battles
Lancelot seriously wounds Gawain but refuses to kill him.
And quickly King Arthur moved himself with his army along the coastline westward, toward
Salisbury. And there was a day assigned betwixt King Arthur and Sir Mordred that they should not
meet upon a field beside Salisbury and not far from the coast. And this day so assigned as
Monday after Trinity Sunday (the eighth Sunday after Easter), whereof King Arthur was passing
glad that he might be avenged upon Sir Mordred.
So upon Trinity Sunday at night King Arthur dreamed a wonderful dream, and in his dream it
seemed to him that he saw upon a platform a chair, and the chair was fast to a wheel, and
thereupon sat King Arthur in the richest cloth of gold that might be made. And the King thought
there was under him, far from him, and hideous deep black water, and therein was all manner
of serpents, and worms, and wild beasts, foul and horrible. And suddenly the King thought that
the wheel turned upside down, and he fell among the serpents, and every beast took him by a
limb. And then the King cried as he lay in his bed, ―Help, Help!‖
And then knights, squires, and yeomen awaked the King, and then he was so amazed that
he knew not where he was. And then so he awaked until it was night day, and then he fell on
slumbering again, not sleeping nor thoroughly waking. So it seemed to the King that there came
Sir Gawain unto him with a number of fair ladies with him. So when King Arthur saw him, he said,
―Welcome, my sister‘s son. I weened ye had been dead. And now I see thee on – live, much am
I beholden unto Almighty Jesu. Ah, fair nephew and my sister‘s son, what been these ladies that
hither be come with you?‖
―Sir,‖ said Sir Gawain, ―all these be ladies for whom I have fought for when I was man living.
And all these are those that I did battle for in righteous quarrels, and God had given them that
grace, at their great prayer, because I did battle for them for their right, that they should bring
me hither unto you. Thus much had given leave God, for to warn you of your death. If you fight
tomorrow with Sir Modred, as ye both have assigned, doubt ye not ye must be slain, and the
most party of your people on both parties. And for the great grace And goodness that Almighty
Jesu had unto you, and for pity of you and many more other good men there shall be slain, God
had sent me to you of his special grace to give you warning that in no wise ye do battle as
tomorn, but that ye take a treaty fora month from today. And you make generous offers , so that
tomorn ye put in a delay. For within a month shall come Sir Lancelot with all his noble knights and
rescue you worshipfully and slay Sir Modred and all that ever will hold with him.
Then Sir Gawain and all the ladies vanished. And anon the King called upon his knights,
squires, and yeomen, and charged them quickly to fetch his noble lords and wise bishops unto
him. And when they were come the King told them of his dream, that Sir Gawain had told him
and warned him that, and he fought on the morn, he should be slain. Then the King
commanded Sir Lucan the Butler and his brother Sir Bedivere the Bold, with two bishops with
them, and charged them in any wise to take a treaty for a month from today with Sir Modred.
―And spare not: proffer him lands and goods as much as ye think reasonable.‖
So then they departed and came to Sir Modred where he had a grim host of a hundred
thousand, and there they entreated Sir Modred long time. And at the last Sir Modred was
agreed for to have Cornwall and Kent by King Arthur‘s days, and after that, all England, after
the days of King Arthur.
Then they ageed that King Arthur and Sir Modred should meet betwixt both their hosts, and
each of them should bring fourteen persons. And so they came with this word unto Arthur. Then
said he, ―I am glad that this is done,‖ so he went into the field.
And when King Arthur should depart, he warned all his host that, and they see any sword
drawn, ―Look ye come on fiercely and slay that traitor Sir Modred, for I in no wise trust him.‖ In like
wise Sir Modred warned his host that ―And ye see any manner of sword drawn, look that ye
come on fiercely, and so slay all that ever before you standeth, for in no wise I will not trust for
this treaty .‖ And in the same wise said Sir Modred unto his host, ―For I know well my father will be
avanged upon me.‖
We are an emerging division where excellence is a habit and allegiance for quality is a pledge.
And so they met as their arrangement was and were agreed and accorded thoroughly.
And wine was fetched and they drank together. Right so came and adder out of a little
heathbush, and it stung a knight in the foot. And so when the knight felt him so stung, he looked
down and saw the adder. And anon he drew his sword to slay the adder, and thought none
other harm. And when the host on both parties saw that sword drawn, then they blew beams,
horns, and shouted grimly. And so both hosts dressed them together. And King Arthur took his
horse and said, ―Alas, this unhappy day!‖ and so rode to his party, and Sir Modred in like wise.
And never since was there never seen a more dolefuller battle in no Christian land, for there
was but rushing and riding, lunging and striking; and many a deadly stroke. But ever King Arthur
rode throughout the battalion of Sir Modred many times and did full nobly, as a noble should do,
and at all times he fainted never. And Sir Modred did his devoir that day and put himself in great
peril.
And thus they fought all the long day, and never stopped till the noble knights were laid to
the cold earth. And ever they fought still it was near night, and then was there a hundred
thousand laid dead upon the down. Then was King Arthur wild with rage out of measure when
he saw his people so slain from him. And so he looked about him and could see no more of all
his host, and good knights left no more on – live, but two knights: the t‘one was Sir Lucan the
Butler and the other his brother Sir Bedivere. And yet they were full sore wounded.
―Jesu, mercy,‖ said the King, ―where are all my noble knights become? Alas that ever I
should see this doleful day! For now, ― said King Arthur. ―I am come to mine end . But would to
God.‖ Said he, ―that I wist now where were that traitor Sir Modred that has caused all this
mischief.‖
Then King Arthur looked about and was ware where stood Sir Modred leaning upon his sword
among a great heap of dead men.
―Now give me my spear.‖ Said King Arthur unto Sir Lucan. ―for yonder I have espied the
traitor that all this woe hath wrought.‖
―Sir, let him be ,‖ said Sir Lucan, ―for he is unhappy. And if ye pass this unhappy day ye shall
be right well revenged upon him. And, good lord, remember ye of your night‘s dream, and what
the spirit of Sir Gawain told you tonight, and yet God of his great goodness had preserved you
hitherto. And for God‘s sake, my lord, leave off by this, for, blessed be God, ye have won the
field: for yet we been here three on – live, and with Sir Modred is not one on – live. And therefore
if ye leave off now, this wicked day of destiny is past.‖
―Now, befall me death, tide me life,‖ said the King, ―now I see him yonder alone, he shall
never escape mine hands. For at a better avail shall I never have him."
―God speed you well !‖ said Sir Bedivere.
Then the King got his spear in both his hands and ran toward his Modred, crying and saying,
―Traitor. Now is thy deathday come!‖
And when Sir Modred saw King Arthur he ran until him with his sword drawn in his hand, and
there King Arthur smote Sir Modred under the shield, with a thrust of his spear, throughout the
body more than a fathom. And when Sir Modred felt that he had his death‘s wound , he thrust
himself with the might that he had up to hand guard of King Arthur´s spear, and right so he
smote his father King Arthur with his sword holden in both his hands, upon the side of the head,
that the sword pierced the helmet and the casting of the brain. And therewith Sir Modred
dashed down stark dead to the earth.
And noble King Arthur fell in a swough to the earth, and there he swooned oftentimes, and
Sir Lucan and Sir Bedivere oftentimes heaved him up. And so, weakly betwixt them, they led him
to a little chapel not far from the seaside, and when the King was there, him thought him
reasonably eased. Then heard they people cry in the field. ―Now go thou, Sir Lucan,‖ said the
King, ―and let me know what betokens that noise in the field.‖
So Sir Lucan departed, for he was grievously wounded in many places. And so as he walked
he saw and harkened by the moonlight how that pillagers and robbers were come into the field
to pill and to rob many a full noble knight of brooches and bracelets and of many a good ring
and many a rich jewel. And who that were not dead all out there they slew them for their
harness and their riches. When Sir Lucan understood this work, he came to the King as soon as
he might and told him all what he had heard and seen. ―Therefore by my advice,‖ said Sir
Lucan, ―it is best that we bring you to some town.‖
―I would it were so,‖ said the King, ―but I may not stand, my head works so. Ah, Sir Lancelot,‖
said King Arthur, ―this day have I sore missed thee. And alas that ever I was against thee, for now
have I my death, whereof Sir Gawain me warned in my dream.‖
Then Sir Lucan took up the King the t‘one side and Sir Bedivere the other party; and in the
lifting Sir Lucan fell in a swoon that part of his guts fell out of his body, and therewith the noble
knight´s heart burst. And when the King awoke he beheld Sir Lucan how he lay foaming at the
mouth and part of his guts lay at his feet.
―Alas,‖ said the King, ―this is to me a full heavy sight to see this noble duke so die for my sake,
for he would have helped me that had more need of help than I. Alas that he would not
complain him for his heart was so set to help me. Now Jesu have mercy upon his soul.‖
Then Sir Bedivere wept for the death of his brother.
We are an emerging division where excellence is a habit and allegiance for quality is a pledge.
―Now leave this morning and weeping, gentle knight,‖ said the King, ―for all this will not avail
me. For wit thou well, and I might live myself, the death of Sir Lucan would grieve me evermore.
But my time passeth on fast,‖ said the King.
―Therefore,‖ said King Arthur unto Sir Bedivere, ―take thou here Excalibur my good sword and
go with it to yonder water‘s side: and when thou comest there I charge thee throw my sword in
that water and come again and tell me what thou saw there‖.
―My lord,‖ said Bedivere, ― your commandment shall be done, and I shall quickly bring your
sword again.‖
So Sir Bedevere departed. And by the way he beheld that noble sword, that the hilt and
hand guard was all precious stones. And then he said to himself, ―If I throw this rich sword in the
water, thereof shall never come good, but harm and loss.‖ And then Sir Bedivere hid Excalibur
under a tree. And so, as soon as he might, he came again unto the King and said he had been
at the water and had thrown the sword into the water.
―What did you see there?‖ said the King.
―Sir,‖ he said, ―I saw nothing but waves and winds.‖
―That is untruly said of you,‖ said the King. ―And therefore you go quickly again and do my
commandment: as you are to me loved and dear, spare not, but throw it in.‖
Then Sir Bedeivere returned again and took the sword in his hand. And yet he thought sin
and shame to throw away that noble sword. And so again he hid the sword and returned again
and told the King, that he had been at the water and done his commandment.
―What did you see there?‖ said the King.
―Sir,‖ he said, ―I saw nothing but waters lap and waves grow.‖
―Ah, traitor unto me and untrue,‖ said King Arthur, ―now you have betrayed me twice. Who
would have weened that you have been to me so loved and dear, and you are named a noble
knight, and would betray me for the riches of this sword. But now go again lightly, for you long
tarrying put me in great jeopardy of my life, for I have taken cold. And but if you do now as I bid
you, if ever I may see you I shall slay you with my own hands, for you would for my rich sword see
me dead‖.
Then Sir Bedivere departed and went to the sword and lightly took it up, and so he went to
the water´s side; and there he bound the girdle about the hilts, and threw the sword as far into
the water as he might. And there came an arm and a hand above the water and took it and
clutched it, and shook it thrice and brandished; ands then vanished away the hand with the
sword into the water. So Sir Bedivere came again to the King and told him what he saw.
―Alas,‖ said the King, ―help me hence, for I dread me I have tarried overlong.‖
Then Sir Bedivere took the King upon his back and so went with him to that water´s side,
even closer, by the bank floated a little barge with many fair ladies in it; and among them all
was a queen; and all they had black hoods, and all they wept and shrieked when they saw King
Arthur.
―Now put me into that barge,‖ said the King; and so he did softly. And there received him
three ladies with great mourning, and so they set them down. And in one of their laps King Arthur
laid his head, and then the queen said, ―Ah, my dear brother, why have ye tarried so long from
me? Alas, this wound on your head had caught overmuch cold.‖ And anon they rowed
fromward the land, and Sir Bedivere beheld all the ladies go forward him.‖
Then Sir Bedivere cried and said, ―Ah, my lord Arthur, what shall become of me, now you go
from me and leave me here alone among my enemies?‖
―Comfort yourself,‖ said the King, ―and do as well as you may, for in me is no trust in. For I
must into the legendary valley to heal me of my grievous wound. And If you hear nevermore of
me, pray for my soul.‖
For ever the queen and ladies wept and shrieked, that it was pity to hear. And as soon as Sir
Bedivere had lost sight of the barge he wept and wailed, and so took the forest and went all
that night.
And in the morning he was ware, betwixt two bare woods, of a chapel and a hermitage.
Then was Sir Bedivere glad, and thither he went, and when he came into the chapel he saw
where lay a hermit groveling on all fours, close thereby a tomb was new dug. When the hermit
saw Sir Bedivere he knew him well, for he was but little before Bishop of Canterbury, that Sir
Modred put to flight.
―Sir,‖ said Sir Bedivere, ―what man is there here interred that you pray so fast for?‖
―Fair son,‖ said the hermit. ―I wot not verily but by guessing. But this same night, at midnight,
here came a number of ladies and brought here a dead corpse and prayed me to inter him.
And here they offered a hundred tapers, and gave me a thousand gold coins.‖
―Alas,‖ said Sir Bedivere,‖ that was my lord King Arthur, which laid here buried in this chapel.‖
Then Sir Bedivere swooned, and when he awoke he prayed the hermit that he might abide
with him still, there to live with fasting and prayers:
―For from hence will I never go,‖ said Sir Bedivere,‖ by my will, but all the days of my life here
to pray for my lord Arthur.‖
―Sir, you are welcome to me,‖ said the hermit, ―for I know you better than you think That I do:
for you are Sir Bedivere the Bold, and the full noble duke Sir Lucan the Butler was your brother.‖
We are an emerging division where excellence is a habit and allegiance for quality is a pledge.
Then Sir Bedivere told the hermit all as you have heard before, and so he stayed with the
hermit that was beforehand Bishop of Canterbury. And there Sir Bedivere put upon him poor
clothes, and served the hermit full lowly in fasting and in prayers.
Thus of Arthur I find no more written in books that been authorized, neither more of the very
certainty of his death heard i nor read, but thus was he led away in a ship wherein were three
queens; that one was King Arthur‘s sister, Queen Morgan le Fay, the other was the Queen of
North Galis, and the third was the Queen of the Waste Lands.
Now more of the death of King Arthur could I never find, but that these ladies brought him to
his grave, and such one was interred there which the hermit bare witness that was once Bishop
of Canterbury. But yet the hermit knew not in certain that he was verily the body of King Arthur;
for this tale Sir Bedivere, a knight of the Table Round, made it to be written.
Yet some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but carried by the
will of our Lord Jesu into another place; and men say that he shall come again, and he shall win
the Holy Cross. Yet I will not say that it shall be so, but rather I would say: here in this world he
changed his life. And many men say that there is written upon the tomb this:
(Here lies Arthur, who was once king and king will be again)

Mother to Son
by Langston Hughes
Well, son, I‘ll tell you:
Life for me ain‘t been no crystal stair.
It‘s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I‘se been a-climbin‘ on,
And reachin‘ landin‘s,
And turnin‘ corners,
And sometimes goin‘ in the dark
Where there ain‘t been no light.
So boy, don‘t you turn back.
Don‘t you set down on the steps
‘Cause you finds it‘s kinder hard.
Don‘t you fall now—
For I‘se still goin‘, honey,
I‘se still climbin‘,
And life for me ain‘t been no crystal stair.

using context clues
2. Determine the type of context clue used for a given word or expression
3. Enhance word knowledge by selecting and generating words
4. Exhibit giving importance to knowledge of context clues by arriving with
the meaning of unfamiliar words in passages when dictionary is not
availble
We are an emerging division where excellence is a habit and allegiance for quality is a pledge.
III. LEARNING TASKS
Introduction: The meaning of a word can often be gleaned from clues in the
surrounding context. What comes before and after a new word can reveal its
meaning, structure, and use.
Preliminary Activity:
TASK 1: WORD DOMINOES
The students will work as team. Each team is given the entire set
of dominoes.
Directions:
1. The students read the sentences and use clues to determine the meaning of
the underlined word.
2. The students then must search the remaining dominoes to find the definition of
the word.
3. The students should line up the sentence with the underlined word next to its
definition in the same way to connect dominoes.
4. When completed, the students should be able to connect all of the dominoes
from start to finish.

TASK 2: LET‟S PLAY DETECTIVES!
1. Suppose you are detectives using clues to figure out what an
unfamiliar word means.
2. You will work in pairs in analyzing this sentence: “The vixen was not as
fortunate.”
3. Define or guess the meaning of the underlined word. Share your definitions
with your partners.
Do you think there is not enough context in the sentence to infer the meaning of
the word vixen?

The LPR3 mnemonic is a useful aid for figuring out unknown words from context.
4. Resolve-recognize that you may need to take other steps (e.g., look it up, ask
someone)
Apply the reminder/mnemonic to get the meaning of the unfamiliar words in the
following sentences.

TASK 4: DIGGING THE CLUES
Study these four common types of context clues and think
about what information in the sentence is useful and what is
not. Afterwards, work with partners and come up with different
examples for all the types of context clues.
