aboutThai literature.
(shares PPT presentation on screen)

before it came in close contact with
Western Civilization.

(swipes to next slide)

Can you continue, Carlo? Carlo: The earliest literature of Thai
Literature was written in Chinese until the
influence of Sanskrit and Pali from
India.That is the reason why most
of their literature are essentially
religious,consisting of works on
Buddhism andHinduism.

(swipes to next slide)Can you read the Reywalsh: Then in the late 1890s,
last slide, Reywalsh? newforms, styles, techniques and
subjects were introduced to literature, yet
that was also the time when
Thailand literature were almost
exclusively written in Thai Language so
some of its literature, just like our
story today, were translated intoEnglish
to be read by more people
worldwide.

And that is all about Thai Literature. Did Yes, ma’am!

You understand, class?

Alright! This time, we will now watch a

video clip of the short story “Makato and

the Cowrie Shells, but wait! As

called ''Something Thailand-ic.” It’s
how it goes:

(presents instructions on screen)

Can you read the instruction, Valen? Valen:

In short, observe the characters and the 1. While watching, observe the traits of

toThailand, then afterwards, we will Also, observe some concepts

clear,class?

Alright then, let’s now watch the video

clip of “Makato and the Cowrie Shells.”

(plays the video clip) (The students will watch attentively and
observe the traits of the characters
and concepts that they think are
Thailand-related)

Have you understood the story, class? Yes, ma’am!

Good! Now, what have you J. Orani: Makato was determined to

observed about Makato? Why do you see the land and the king
think he left his old town? Yes, Jennifer ofSukhothai so he left his old town for an

Very good! Thank you, Jennifer! Next

question, what have you observed
about Pra Ruang, the king? Why do you

COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION
University Road, Poblacion, Muntinlupa City

Yes, Paula? Paula: Pra Ruang was a very kind

hearted king. He was impressed by

positions came after that, too.

ruled by one.
That’s another good guess! Thank
you,Nicole. Well, let’s see if your guesses
are a yes.

(shares presentation on screen)

Can you read what’s on the screen, Aiza? Aiza: Thai literature has its distinguishing
features that continue to evolve over the
years. During the Sukhothai period,
the time when the story of Makato
was written, Thai literature had six
common features.

And what are these six? Can you Abegail: Their literature is mostly
 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MUNTINLUPA
COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION
University Road, Poblacion, Muntinlupa City

read them, Abegail? related to the country’s monarchy

or a system ruled by a king. It is also
based on high Principles: may either be
Buddhist,Hindu, or both. The lifestyle
of the people in Thailand are also
greatly manifested in their poetry. The
themes are usually about journeying,
separation, and love-longing. It also
typically involves a poor boy and a rich
girl brought to happy conclusions.

The theme in the story of Makato is based (The students will read in chorus)“One
on the Buddhist principle you can see on who controls his desire can achieve
your screen. May you all read it? enlightenment.”

How is it related to the song we watched Ariel: Both the song and the principle are
a while ago? Yes, Ariel? about achieving something we desire.
Asif they are trying to tell us that in order
to achieve something, we must know how
to compose ourselves in ways that may
get us through success.

Very good point, Ariel! Thank you!
