“Very good! But we are going to discuss those,

next meeting. We are going to focus to static
 and dynamic. Okay? Are you ready to listen?” “Yes!”

“Are you willing to open your minds, ears and “Yes!”

hearts?”

c. Abstraction
“Before discussing the static and dynamic
characters, I will discuss the elements of the
story.”
A short story consists of
 setting; it tells the reader where and when
the story takes place.
 plot; the chain of related events that take
place in a story.
 theme; central idea or belief in a short
story.
 point of view; is the mode of narration that
an author employs to let the readers
“hear” and “see” what takes place in a
story.
 conflict; the main problem or struggle in a
story between the protagonist or the
opposing force.
 characters; the people, the animals or the
entities that take part in the story. (the students are expected to raise their
hands)

“Again, what are the elements of a story?” “Ma’am, the elements of the story are
setting, plot, theme, point of view,
conflict and characters.”

In all stories, there are typically two types of

characters: the static and dynamic.
(the students will watch and listen
 attentively)

“I will show you a video clip of a Filipino TV

show, Be Careful with My Heart”.

“So, Dynamic characters are defined by their

ability to change. They often undergo some very
important transformation at some point in the
story, causing them to become different people.”

“Changes considered to qualify a character as

dynamic include changes in sight or
understanding, changes in commitment, and “No, Ma’am, unless it made the character
changes in values.” different.”

“Do you think change in physical appearance is

considered?

“Changes in circumstance, even physical

circumstance, do not apply unless they result in
some change within the character's self.”

“Knowing that a character is dynamic proves that

you understand the change they underwent within
the story.”

“While, a static character does not change “Sir Chief is a dynamic character because
throughout the story. No matter what they at first he is cold-hearted, but at the end
experience, their traits remain the same.” he learned to love again.”

“You will try to distinguish which character is “Maya is a static character because she
dynamic or static character/s on the show.” stayed to be kind, caring and loving to all
the people around her.”
 “Ma’am, I think they are important,
because if there are no static or dynamic
characters, the story would be boring.”

“What do you think are the importance of these “Ma’am, having those types of character
types of characters in a story?” in the story makes it more interesting to
watch/read.”

“Both dynamic and static characters are important

to a story. Without change in a character, there
might be no plot to the story. And, without
characters who remain the same, there will be no
anchors to the story.”
(the students are expected to participate)
d. Application
Groupings:
“You will be divided into 4 groups; each group
will be given cut out pictures of popular characters
that must be pasted under column of static or
dynamic character. Each character has a short line
in the back to help you distinguish between static
and dynamic. Each group will have 3
representatives to model the characters creatively
while saying their lines.”
Olaf – “Hi, I’m Olaf and I like warm hugs! Some
people are worth melting for” (S)
Sadness – “I like crying, it helps me slow down
and obsess over the weight of life’s problems.” (S)
Joy – “There are lot of things to be happy about.”
(S)
Beast – “Think of one thing you’ve always
wanted, now find it in your mind’s eye, and feel it
in your heart.” (D)
Ariel – “Who says that my dreams have to stay
just my dreams?” (D)
Anna – “That’s not blizzard! That’s my sister.”
(D)
Emilia Ardiente – “Kahit gano ka pa kagaling
makisama sa kanila, may masasabi pa rin sila na
hindi maganda tungkol sayo.” (S)
Basha – “Kasi ang totoo umaasa pa rin ako na
sabihin mo, sana ako pa rin, Ako na lang. Ako na
lang ulit.” (D)
Popoy – “She loved at my worst, you had me at
my best, at binalewala mo lang lahat yun.” (D)
Julio – “Ipapatay si Lily Cruz!” (S)
Cardo – “Hanapin niyo ang bendeta.” (S)
