B. Development of Lesson

1. Presentation

Say: Listen to the story I will read.

For the teacher:

In 1882, when Helen Keller was 1 ½ years old, she suffered a terrible
sickness. Her fever raged for days. The doctors did not have antibiotics
with which to treat her. Antibiotics came from organic materials. They
also did not have knowledge about the illness. “I think Helen will
recover,” said one doctor. Helen’s parents were probably upset.

Helen did recover, but the illness left her totally blind and deaf. It is
hard to believe that the rest of her life was not a painful struggle. Yet,
she overcame much and learned to speak, read, write, and even attend
college. It is probably true that Helen Keller is the greatest example
over adversity of her generation.

2. Comprehension Check Up

Helen Keller is the main character in the story. She had a terrible
sickness at the age of one and a half years old.

unbelievable from impossible to possible.

4. Analysis
 Say: As you see, the sentences have been grouped into three. Let’s find
out which group of sentence is fact and which expresses opinion and
which falsity is.

Ask: Which group of sentences has or gives accurate data?

-The first group

What are the accurate data?

-The year 1882 in the first sentence

In sentence b, is there a word that makes the statement unsure? None

Are these sentences than fact, opinion or falsity?

So the other group is opinion. What words in the first sentence makes
the statement opinion? Might

How about in the second sentence? Think

In the last group, what makes the sentence a statement of falsity? That
antibiotic comes from inorganic materials but the truth is that antibiotic
comes from organic materials.

5. Generalization

A fact is a statement of true fact which is based on sufficient

evidence.
An opinion is a statement of one’s belief or conviction, no sufficient
evidence. It may have signals like maybe, might, think, probably,
etc.
A falsity is a statement of false facts.
C. Post Activity

1. Application

Listen to the following statements as the teacher reads them.

Then stand if the stand if the statement is a fact, sit down if it is an
opinion and jump if it is a falsity.
a. Guatemala is in Central America.
b. Rose is our national flower.
c. Girls learn to speak much earlier than boys.
d. The Philippine government has passed laws to protect our children.
e. Carabaos are better followers than camels.

“Pagkamasinop” is a unique Filipino virtue. It is a personal attitude and

habit which calls for care and respect for things earned through honest
work. “Pagkamasinop” results in a deeply personal dislike for waste
and overspending. It also provides a disposition toward self-reliance
and job creativity. It is care and respect for belongings.

2. Enrichment

Listen as the teacher reads the following situation. Working together,

write down statement/s that expresses fact and opinion.

For the teacher:

 Filipinas have different physical features. Some are brown, some have
fair complexion. Some are short in height, others are tall. Some
possess round eyes, other have eyes like those of the Chinese or
Japanese. These differences may have been inherited from our foreign
ancestors who captured our country. The Greeks were one of our
conquerors. It could also the blending of the genes of our Filipina
ancestors who were the first children of the foreign conquerors.
