This paper presents a structured lesson plan for teaching Chapter 6 (“Si Basilio”) of José Rizal’s El Filibusterismo in a high school or undergraduate literature course. While earlier chapters focus on the idealism of Noli Me Tangere, Chapter 6 marks a critical tonal shift toward disillusionment and strategic action. This paper analyzes the chapter’s key literary elements—character development, symbolism, and socio-political critique—and translates them into a 60-minute, student-centered lesson plan. The plan emphasizes critical thinking, historical contextualization, and collaborative learning, aiming to help students understand how Rizal uses Basilio’s grief and desperation to foreshadow the novel’s revolutionary themes.
