4. Presentation of the Lesson Objectives

Based on our activity, what do you think will be our today’s lesson?
Lesson Proper Discussion about Intertext

What is Intertext?
When reading, the readers try to make meaning of the material that they are absorbing
through many different processes. Unintentionaily, sometimes, the patterns in the
materials read are apparent in another text. Theorist’s term this as intertextuality.

What is Intertextuality?
Intertextuality is a literary discourse strategy employed by writers across various
mediums, including novels, poetry, theatre, and digital media, where a text references or
draws upon other texts. This can manifest as borrowing, transforming, or alluding to
prior works, or through a reader's recognition of connections between texts.
EXAMPLES:
A meme that uses a scene from a cartoon:
 When a meme uses a picture or a short clip from a popular cartoon to make a
joke, it's using intertextuality. It relies on people recognizing the original cartoon.

A song that samples an older song:

 If a new song uses a piece of an older, well-known song, that's intertextuality. It's
borrowing from and referencing the original song.

When someone says, "To infinity and beyond!"

 This is intertextuality because it is a direct quote from the movie Toy Story.

TYPES OF INTERTEXTUALITY

Obligatory Intertextuality: You HAVE to Know the First Story!

Imagine a book or movie that's like "Part 2" of another story. To really understand what's
happening in "Part 2," you have to know what happened in "Part 1." That's obligatory
intertextuality. It's when a new story needs the old story to make sense.

Examples:

1. A Sequel Book:
o Let's say you love the book "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The
Lightning Thief." Then, you start reading "Percy Jackson & the
Olympians: The Sea of Monsters." If you didn't read "The Lightning
Thief," you wouldn't know who Percy is, why he's at camp, or what the
monsters are. The second book requires you to know the first one.

2. A Cartoon Episode That Continues a Story:

o Many cartoons have episodes that build on each other. If you watch
episode 5 without seeing episodes 1-4, you'll be confused. The
characters might be talking about something that happened earlier, or
there might be a villain you don't know. The new episode needs the older
episodes to make sense.

3. A Movie Series with Connected Stories:

o Think about the movies "Hello, Love, Goodbye" and "Hello, Love Again."
"Hello, Love Again" is a continuation of the story from "Hello, Love,
Goodbye." To really understand why Joy and Ethan are acting the way
they are, or what their problems are, you really need to have seen "Hello,
Love, Goodbye." The new movie needs you to know what happened in
the first movie.

Optional Intertextuality: Fun Little Connections You Might Notice!

Imagine a story that has a little secret message or a nod to another story. If you know
the other story, you'll go, "Oh, I get that!" But if you don't, you'll still understand the main
story just fine. That's optional intertextuality. It's like a fun bonus for people who know
the connection.

Examples:

1. A Character Saying a Famous Line:

o In a Filipino movie, a character might say, "Walang himala!" (No
miracle!), which is a famous line from the movie "Himala." If you've seen
"Himala," you'll recognize the line and it might make you smile. But if you
haven't, you'll still understand what the character means – that they don't
believe in miracles.

2. A Song That Sounds Familiar:

o A new Filipino pop song might have a melody that sounds a little bit like a
classic OPM (Original Pilipino Music) song. If you know the old song,
you'll notice the similarity and it might make you feel nostalgic. But if you
don't, you'll still enjoy the new song for what it is.

3. A Cartoon with a Superhero Pose:

o In a cartoon, a character might strike a superhero pose that looks exactly

like a famous superhero from a comic book. If you know the comic book,
you'll recognize the pose and think it's cool. But if you don't, you'll just
think the character is being strong or brave. The pose is a bonus for
those who know the reference.

Accidental Intertextuality: You See a Connection the Writer Didn't Mean!

Imagine you're reading a story and it reminds you of something that happened in your
own life, or something you saw in another movie, even though the writer didn't mean for
it to. That's accidental intertextuality. It's like you found a secret connection that only you
noticed!

Examples:

1. A Story Reminds You of Your Own Experience:

o You're reading a book about a kid who moves to a new school and feels
nervous. It reminds you of your own first day in a new classroom, even
though the book isn't about your school at all. The writer just wrote about
a kid being nervous, but you connected it to your own experience.

2. A Movie Scene Reminds You of a Place You've Been:

o You're watching a Filipino movie with a scene in a busy market. It

reminds you of the market you visit with your lola, even though the movie
wasn't filmed in your town. The busy market just reminded you of a place
you know.

3. A Song Reminds You of a Different Story:

o You hear a Filipino song about someone missing their family, and it
reminds you of a teleserye you watched about a family that got
separated. The songwriter just wrote a song about missing family, but
you connected it to the teleserye. The songwriter never intended for it to
be related to that teleserye.
After the Lesson Application/ Activities
Individual Activity (10 minutes)
Reference Hunt!

Directions: Remember ONE example: Find one thing you see or hear today that
reminds you of something else (a movie, song, book, etc.) after that Name BOTH: Write
down the thing you found and what it reminds you of. In the paper I have provided

Group Activity (5 minutes)

GROUP ME BABY!
Instructions: The class will be divided to 4, Each group will be given random examples
of intertextuality. After getting, they must identify if what type of intertext it is, they will
paste it on the board that I will also provide. The first group who finishes first will be the
first one to explain why they did put it there, and so on. The group who can have the
highest score will be the winner.

Obligatory Intertextuality (You NEED the First Part!):

1. "Hello, Love Again" (movie) after "Hello, Love, Goodbye" (movie): It's like a "Part
2" – you need to see "Part 1" to get it!
2. A "next episode" of a cartoon: It continues the story from the last episode.

3. A play of "Ibong Adarna": You need to know the original story to understand the
play.

4. A book series (like "Harry Potter"): You need to read the first book to understand
the second.

5. A show online that tells the rest of a story from a book: You need to read the
book first.

6. A movie that tells the story of how characters met in a previous movie: It’s a
“prequel” and you need to know the original movie.

7. A teleserye that is a direct continuation of a previous teleserye's storyline: You

need to watch the first series to understand the second.

Optional Intertextuality (Fun Little Hints!):

1. A character says "Walang himala!" (from the movie "Himala"): It's like a secret
message for people who saw the movie.
2. A new song sounds a little like an old song: It's like a little nod to the old song.

3. A cartoon character does a superhero pose: It's like a wink to superhero fans.

4. A character wears a shirt with a picture of a famous Filipino band.

5. A character says a common Filipino saying that everyone knows.

6. A movie shows a scene that looks just like a scene from another famous Filipino
movie: A visual “nod”.

7. A character uses a dance move that is very similar to a dance move from a
famous Filipino music video.

Accidental Intertextuality (You Think of Something, But the Writer Didn't Mean It!):

1. A movie about a family reminds you of your own family: Even if they're different
families.
2. A book about a town reminds you of your town: Even if the book is about a
made-up town.

3. A song about being sad reminds you of when you were sad: Even if the song
isn't about your story.

4. A movie scene with a market reminds you of a market you went to.

5. A book character feeling lonely reminds you of a time you felt lonely.

6. A story with a character who loves to sing reminds you of your friend who loves
to sing.

7. A movie about a character who is scared of the dark reminds you of when you
were scared of the dark.
