attended the University of Rochester
and then Syracuse University, where
she became fiction editor of the campus
humor magazine.

” Are you excited?”

“Yes Ma’am”

(Video will be played)

B. Analysis

“What did you feel after you watch the

video?” “We felt sad for the characters of the
story”
Okay! Thank you.

I will post a visual to organize the

scenarios of the story. And write your
answers in the visual I posted. Answer
incomplete sentences.

“Where or when did the story took

place?” “On a warm day in the late June 27th,
villagers gather in the square.”

Okay, give him/her 2 military clap.

“How does the lottery started?”

“The lottery started when the
representative or the fathers of the
families started to pick strips of paper
from the black box”

Very good! Give him/her 2 military clap.

“What is the most intense part of the

story?” “When Mr. Bill got the slip of paper
with a dot of ink and Hutchinson family
picked again in the black box and when
Mrs. Tessie got the slip of paper with
the dotted ink.”

Very good! Give him/her 2 military clap.

“What did the villagers prepared before

they sentence Mrs. Tessie?” “The people started to prepare the
stones with Mrs. Hutchinson
 complaining saying “It’s not fair.”

“How the story ends?”

“People started to stone her to death”

Those answers are the plot of the story.

Can you please read the definition of the

plot?” “It is made up of series of related events
that include the exposition. conflict,
rising action, climax, falling action, and
resolution.”

Thank you. The first series of events

that made up the plot is the Exposition.
Exposition is the introduction of time,
place and characters. The authors tell
when and where the story takes place.

The next is the raising action it is the

complications/problems that keeps the
plot from moving too smoothly toward its
resolution, created excitement or
interest in the story. This where the
interest of the readers started. They will
be curious about what will be the next
thing happens to the characters in the
story.

“The third is Climax can you please

read the definition?” “The turning point in the story; a point
at which the conflict comes to ahead. A
brief moment
in time.”

Thank you! This is the turning point of

the story. Usually, the main character
comes face to face with a conflict. This
is the most intense of the story.

The fourth is the falling action, action

leading to the solution. It is the event
wherein it gives signal that the story is
about to end.

And the last is the denouement or

resolution.

“Please read the definition of

denouement.” “Shows how the situation turns out.”

Denouement tells how the story ends.

“In the story you watched, who are the

characters of the story? “The characters are Tessie Hutchinson,
Mr. Joe Summers, Mr. Marry Hary
Graves, Old Man Warner, Mrs. Graves,
Mr. Bill Hutchinson, The Hutchinson
 Children, Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Baxter
Martin, Mr. and Mrs. Adams, The
Delacroix Family, The Watsons, The
Dunbars, The Boys.”
(Answer may vary.)

That is another element of the story.

Characters are the people who carry on
the action in a story. They can be
described as major or minor characters
or protagonists (the guy you want to win
or the main character) and antagonist
(the guy you want to lose or the person/
thing in opposition).

The next element is the Conflict.

“Can you please read the definition of
Conflict?” “Conflict is a struggle between opposing
people or forces.”

Thank You! Conflict is the dramatic

struggle between two forces in a story.
Without conflict, there is no plot.

“So what is the conflict in the story?”

“When Mrs. Tessie complained to Mr.
Summers when his husband got the slip
of paper with a dot ink. She said that
Mr. summer did give his husband ample
time to draw.”

And the last element of a short story is

Theme. Theme is the central idea or
insight into life that a literary work
conveys. It is usually the underlying
thought within a story. The theme can
also be thought of as the moral or
message the writer is trying to present.

“What do you think about the theme of

the story?” ´ “The theme of the story is that not all
rituals are inhumane and beneficial. And
the unfairness of persecution by random
draw.”

Okay, Thank you. The theme of the

story is not all rituals are beneficial,
positive or civilized. Acts of violence,
hatred, murder are not acceptable just
because many people can participate.
You can relate it to our society right
now. About the EJK (Extra Judicial
Killing) not because some people want it
doesn't mean it’s okay for everyone.
Most especially those in the settlers.
They just killed because somebody
pinpoint them and said they are addicts
and without the process of law they just
killed and didn’t even get a chance to
get in lawful process and prove their
selves.
 C. Abstraction

“What did you learn from our lesson

today?” “We learn that not all rituals are good.”
(Answer may vary)
Okay, Thank you!

“If you are one of the villagers are you

going to follow the same tradition? Why “No, because you will hurt someone
or Why not?” that is innocent and it is inhumane.”
(Answer may vary.)

Okay Thank you

“What will you feel if you are the one

who got the slip of paper with a dot of “I will feel scared and nervous at the
ink? Explain.” same time because I know what will
happen to me.”
Very good!

“Do you think that the Philippine justice

system is fair in dealing with judgment?” “I think no, because not all people are
given a chance to prove their selves
and to judge them under the law. Like
EJK.”
“No, most especially those who have
power and connection. They use their
power to discharge their cases,”
Okay Very good!
