III. Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

A. Preliminary Activities

Greetings

Good morning class! Good morning, Ma’am.

How is your day so far? We are fine Ma’am.

That’s good to hear! So can I expect a full blast of

energy and active participation from you? Yes, Ma’am.

Prayer

Alright, before anything else, let us first ask the

guidance of our Almighty God. Ms. Precious,
would you please lead us a prayer? (The student will lead the prayer.)

Before you take your seats, I would like to request

everyone to arrange your chairs properly and
make sure there are no trashes around you. (Students will arrange their chairs
and will pick up the trashes.)
Who is absent or excused for today?
None, Ma’am.
Very good! I’m so glad that everyone understands
the importance of coming to school regularly.

Now, let’s start our class with a simple recall.

What have you learned from our previous lesson?
Yes, Harry. Ma’am, I have learned about
Context of text Development
particularly the hypertextuality in
reading.
Very good!
So, who can define context?
Yes, Alfred. (The student will answer.)

You’re right!
Now, what is hyperterxt?
Yes, Chester. (The student will answer.)

Brilliant!
Who coined the words “hypertext” and
“hypermedia” in 1965?
Yes, Rex. Ma’am, he is Ted Nelson.

You got it right!

Now, whom did he worked with in developing the
hypertext editing system in 1968? Ma’am, he worked with Andries
Van Dam.
Very good!

I am glad that you can still recall our previous

lesson.

Do you have any questions regarding the topic

that we had? None, Ma’am.

Alright, it seems like you really understood our

last lesson. I think you are now ready to for a new
lesson
Motivation

Before we formally start our lesson proper, let us

first have an activity called, Guess the Real Me!

Directions: Identify which logo is real and which

one is fake.
Are you ready? Yes, Ma’am!

Okay, let’s begin!

Ma’am, Burger King is the real

one.

Ma’am, Pringles is the real one.

Ma’am, the real one is on the left.

Ma’am the real one is on the right.

 Ma’am it is Levi’s not Elvi’s

Very good! You are all right!

What have you noticed about the pictures?

Yes, Jennilyn.
(The student will answer.)
That’s a good observation. As you can see the
original logos are being copied or imitated in the
fake logos. The fake logos were inspired by the
original ones and it is very evident that some
properties of the original logos are incorporated to
the other logos.

B. Lesson Proper

That activity has something to do with our lesson

for today, and it is all about Context of Text
Development particularly the Intertext or
Intertexuality.

When you hear the word intertextuality, what

comes into your mind first?
Yes, May Ann. (The student will answer.)

Very good!
If we are going to chop the word into two, inter is
a prefix which means “between”, “among”, “in
the midst of” or “together.” While textuality refers
to all the attributes that distinguish the
communicative content under analysis as an
object of the study.
Therefore, intertextuality is the modelling of a
text’s meaning by another text. It is defined as the
connections between language, images,
characters, themes, or subjects depending on their
similarities in language, genre, or discourse.

To make it clearer, please read the other definition

everyone.
Intertextuality is one method of text development
that enables the author to make another text based
on another text. It happens when some properties
of an original text are incorporated in the text that
is created by another author. One good reason
why it occurs is perhaps the second writer is
greatly affected or influenced by the first writer
leading to a combination of imitation and (The students will read.)
creation.

Kindly explain what you have read. (The studet will explain.)
Yes, Alex.

Very well said!

When we say intertextuality, it simply means,
connection between texts.

Intertextuality has rooted from the work of a

Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-
1913). Meanwhile, the term itself was first used
by Bulgarian-French philosopher and
psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva in the 1960s.

There are different types of intertextuality and

these are the Allusions, Quotation, Translation,
Parody and Pastiche.

Let’s first talk about Allusion.

So, what is allusion do you have any idea? (The student will answer.)
Yes, Lady.

Very good!
In allusion, a writer or speaker explicitly or
implicitly pertains to an idea or passage found in
another text without the use of quotation. If the
allusion is explicitly stated, it is called
‘REFERENCE’.

Allusion is actually one of the figures of speech

wherein it tends to make writings more creative
by alluding. And there are different types of
allusion which are the Historical, Biblical,
Literary and Mythological allusions.

We already defined allusion, so what do you think

is the historical allusion? (The student will answer.)
Yes, Rhian.

That’s right!
A historical allusion is when something mentions
or refers to a past event, person, or cultural
element. It helps give context or meaning to
what's being discussed by connecting it to history,
assuming that people know about the referenced
historical stuff.

For example, “After his promotion, he felt like

Alexander the Great conquering new territories.”
Yes, Ma’am!
Who is Alexander the Great? Are you familiar
with him?
Ma’am he is a character from the
Then who is he? past.
Yes, Ayessa.

Alright! And we all know that Alexander the

Great is a character from the ancient history.
Therefore, the statement incorporated something
from the past which made it a historical allusion.
Ma’am, it is from the Bible.
If historical allusion is from history, how about
biblical allusion?

Very good!
A biblical allusion is a brief reference to a story,
character, or symbol from the Bible in literature,
art, or speech, typically used to add depth,
meaning, or resonance to the context.

For example, Let’s not build another Tower of

Babel. Yes, Ma’am. It is a story from the
Bible.
Do you know the Tower of Babel?

That’s right! The Tower of Babel is from the

Bible and it is incorporated in a certain text which
is the example, therefore, it is a Biblical Allusion.

How about Literary Allusion, what do you think is Ma’am it is from literature or from
its reference? literary works.
Yes, Shayne.

You are right!

A literary allusion is a reference to a specific work
of literature, character, event, or theme within
another piece of literature. It's used to enrich the
meaning, create connections, or add depth to the
text.
For example, “Their love story is like Antony and
Cleopatra’s.” Yes, Ma’am. It is a play written by
William Shakespeare.
Do you know Antony and Cleopatra?

Very good! Antony and Cleopatra are characters

from a literature and they are known as the most
tragic love affair. There is an incorporation of
literary characters in the statement which made it
a literary allusion.
Ma’am it has a reference on
How about mythological allusion? mythology.
Yes, Rey.

Very good!
A mythological allusion is a reference to a myth,
deity, character, or symbol from mythology
within literature, art, or conversation. It's used to
enhance meaning, create analogies, or add depth
to the context.

For example, “That’s his Achilles’ heel.” Yes, Ma’am. He is a character

from Greek mythology.

Yes, Ma’am.

Are you familiar with Achilles?

That’s right!
As you can see from the example, it incorporated
a character from a myth which made it a
mythological allusion.

Is the allusion clear to you now?

Alright, let’s proceed to the second type of Ma’am it is Dr. Jose Rizal.
intertextuality which is the Quotation.

When we say quotation in intertextuality, it is the

repetition of one expression as part of another
one, particularly when the quoted expression is
well-known or explicitly attributed by citation to
its original source.
For example, “The youth is the hope of the
fatherland.”

This well-known quotation is by whom? (The student will answer.)

Yes, Diana.

That’s right!
This quotation is very used specially in essays and
speeches even long before. I know, some of you
have already incorporated this quotation in your
writings. You are just unaware that you are
already utilizing intertextuality.

Now, let’s have the third type, Translation. Yes, ma’am!

What do we mean by translation? Ma’am it is a story written by a

Yes, Danilo. French writer.

Very good!
Translation is the communication of the meaning
of a source-language text by means of an
equivalent target-language text.

For example, the English version of the Little

Prince.

Are you familiar with the little prince?

Then what is it?

Very good!
it is a literary work written by Antoine de Saint-
Exupéry. The Little Prince is originally written in
French and is translated in English by Katherine
Woods. Though the translation is not the original
it is still intertextualized since another piece was
made which has still connection and is adopted
from the original piece.

For the fourth type of intertextualiy, it is the

Parody. I know that you are so much familiar with
this since you can encounter parodies in social
media.
Parody is an imitation of a particular writer,
artist or a genre, exaggerating it deliberately to
produce a comic effect. The term parody is
derived from the Greek phrase parodia which
refers to a type of poem which imitated the style
of epic poems but with mockery and light
comedy. Ma’am it is very funny.

Let’s watch this sample parody of the trailer of the

film She’s Dating the Gangster.

How did you find the parody class?

That is actually a characteristic of parody since it

is an imitation but in an exaggerated way which
makes it humorous.

The last type of intertextuality is the Pastiche.

It is a text developed in a way that it copies the
style or other properties of another text without
making fun of it unlike in a parody.

Let’s have this example, Romeo and Juliet Play in

Taylor Swift’s Love Story song.

Yes, Ma’am!

None, Ma’am!

As you can notice, some properties of the original

text which is the Romeo and Juliet was being
incorporated and being imitated in Taylor Swift’s
love story. It is not exaggerated nor funny.

So, those are the different types of Intertextuality.

And always remember that intertextuality refers to
the interrelationship of different literary texts. In
simple words, it is the connection between texts.

Did you get it class?

Do you have any questions or clarifications?

Okay, if that’s so, I believe that you are now

ready for an activity.
C. Application

Lights, Camera, Laughter!

Directions:
You will be divided into 4 groups. Choose a
popular film trailer and brainstorm ideas for a
parody concept. Assign roles among your group
members. Film your parody scenes, making sure
to capture the comedic elements of your concept.
Finalize your parody film and prepare to present it
to the class.

Is that clear, class? Yes, Ma’am!

D. Generalization and Valuing

Can anyone from the group share what s/he have

learned today?
Yes, Jay. Ma’am, I’ve learned about
Interxtuality and its types. I’ve also
learned about the types of Allusion.

Very good!
So, what does it mean by inertext?
Yes, Michael. (The student will answer)

That’s right!
And what are the types of intertextuality in a text?
Yes, Jaycerill. (The student will answer)

Very good!
How about the types of allusion?
Yes, Melvin. (The student will answer)

Alright! Very good!

Intertextuality is everywhere in our daily lives.

From memes on social media to news stories and
advertisements, it's the way different texts and
cultural references interact, shaping how we
understand and communicate about the world
around us.

Is that understood my dear students? Yes, Ma’am!
