How my Brother Leon Brought Home a Wife Activities


-->
Topic: Literature: How my Brother Leon Brought Home a Wife by Manuel Arguilla
Age Level: Adolescence
APPLICATION
SPECIFIC ACTIVITY
1. Use visual aids such as charts and illustrations and
I will prepare pictures of the different scenes in the story, ask some students to pick one, arrange the pictures chronologically and have them re-tell each scene that they picked in their own words.
2. Use well-organized materials that offer step by step explanations
3. Provide students opportunities to discuss social issues
I will group the students into two. I will ask a group to list down the advantages while the other, the disadvantages of marriage between people having different culture or different economic status and have a representative from each group discuss their list in front of the class.
4. Provide consideration of hypothetical “other worlds”
I will ask the students to draw two pictures. One will be their vision of the life in the city of a person who grew up in the barrio and the other, their vision of the life in the barrio of a person who grew up in the city.
5. Make sure that at least some of the tests ask for more than rote memory or one final answer.
I will ask the students to write a composition about the pros and cons of living in the city and living in the barrio.
6. Use lyrics from popular music to teach poetic devices, to reflect on social problems, and so on.
I will ask the students to listen to the song “Kapaligiran” by Asin and “Manila” by Hotdog, have them list down the lines in the former that describes the barrio and the lines in the latter that describes the city and discuss the disadvantages of living in rural and urban places and how life in these places can be improved.
