He was a Founding Father and a polymath, inventor, scientist, printer, politician, freemason and diplomat. In 1730 Benjamin married a woman named Deborah Read. His scientific pursuits included investigations into electricity, mathematics and mapmaking. He is a writer known for his wit and wisdom.

The teacher will be going to ask the following questions:

b. Have you ever read the story?
b. Motivation
Now, I want you to think and share to the class of something that you really wanted, tangible or intangible and then acquired or achieved.
(Ask them how they feel after attaining it).
Was the value they paid (in money, effort, time) equal to the prize? Were you ultimately happy or unhappy with this?

d. Activities
a. Distribute “The Whistle” handout to students.

• Tell the students to read in silence.
• Teacher asks guide questions

Well students, how will you apply the lesson to you lives?
I think it is a common problem of today to overestimate the value we might get from some action and underestimate the cost of that action. It’s easy to find numerous examples of “paying too much for the whistle” in everyday life.
Can anyone give an example?

Engagement activities

b. The teacher will divide students into five groups. And ask them to read in silence and analyze the story ‘‘The Whistle” by sharing what did they understood.

After that, choose 1 person from each groups to present in front of the class

V. Generalization
The teacher will ask what they have learned in the story ‘The whistle”?
It’s nice to treat yourself to expensive items every once in a while. Nice dinners, family vacations are definitely worth the money. But, there are some expensive items that are not worth the money you are spending on them. These items can end up eating away most of your paycheck and savings. Everyone places different values on items they purchase.
Then the latest and greatest new phone is the iPhone X. These phones are extremely expensive compared to Android versions. If you love iPhones versus the android, you can buy an older version. You can get an older refurbished version for half the price. This can save you thousands of pesos. Also, the newest version of any cell phone has some bugs when it is first released. The thing is, don’t overpay for items. Why spend extravagantly on things that you don’t really need to spend.

VI. Evaluation
Evaluation In a one-whole sheet of paper, write a reaction wherein you will state the lesson learned of not paying too much for the whistle.

Ask the students to compose a short narrative, describing a time when they learned a lesson from making a mistake.

VII. Assignment / Extension Activity
Students illustrate scenes from “The Whistle.”
Creating your skit:

• Divide students into 2 groups
• Each group member must have a role in the skit
• The skit must not contain violence or inappropriate language or actions.
• It is acceptable to include a role of Narrator in your skit.
