relation to a family. Are you familiar
with Barney’s I Love You Song?”

“Okay that’s good, so are you “Yes”

ready to sing and have fun
today?

Warm Up
Let us sing Barney’s I Love You Song.
(Students Sing)

“I love you, you love me and we’re a happy family,

With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you,
Hope you say you love me too.”

“Okay now class, What can you say about the

song? Does it tell us something important that “Sir, eventhough the song is very short, but I
we have already forgotten to do nowadays?” guess it’s full of emotions.”

“How could you say so John?”
“Because sir I noticed that the song has a lot to
do with our love for our family, that the real
meaning of family is all about loving each
other, and nowadays kissing and hugging our
parents or family members are not being
practiced anymore.”

“That was a very good explanation

John, you know what class the song simply
tells us something that we should always
consider for us to keep our family or
relationship with others intact, sometimes
showing affection/love towards a person
makes him feel that he is appreciated and there
will be feeling of belonginess and love.

“What else have you noticed which “Because sir, there are so many descriptive
made you conclude that the song is all about words in the song, the most obvious one is “I
love?” LOVE YOU.”

time to improve your pronunciation more...”

Presentation
Show pictures of a Mother (a) and a Cake
(b)

Motivation “Sir, Picture A is a picture of a Mother and

“What do you see in pictures A and B?” Picture B is a picture of a Cake.”

“On her last birthday.”

“When was the last time you gave a gift to
your mother?”
“It is mother’s birthday.”
“Why do you think there is a cake? What do
you think is the celebration?”
“By kissing and hugging her.”
“Aside from giving material gifts, how else
do you show your love for your mother?”

Discussion
Let us read a poem and let us find out how
the children showed their love for their mother.

Who Loves Mother Best?

“Oh happy birthday, Mama dear.”

Sang Ben, Liz and Bess with cheer
“We love you much, we love you true.”
 They kissed their mother, hugged her too.

Then quickly Ben skipped out to play

And went with playmates all the day.
Then rushed home in time to see
His sister Liz aglow with glee.

For Liz held up an ice cream cone,

Enjoying it, she sat alone.
Ben grabbed the cone, and slipped away,
So Liz cried out, “For that you’ll pay!”

Like cats and dogs the two did struggle

Each making sure to win the battle.
They tried to push and then to pull,
While Mama almost lost her cool.

But little Bess with Mom she stayed,

She set the table, drinks she laid.
And helped to serve Mom’s friends and
guests
Now tell me, who loves Mother best?

After reading the poem, let us now answer

these questions:

“Why did Bess, Ben, and Liz kiss and hug their “Because it is their Mother’s Birthday.”
Mother?”

“Why was Liz aglow with glee?” “Liz was aglow a glee because she was
eating a cone of ice cream.”

“What made Liz cry out, “For that you’ll “Liz cried out because Ben grabbed the cone
pay?” then slipped away.”

“Why did Mother almost lost her cool?”
“Who among the three children loved their
Mother best? How did he/she show it?
“What is the best way to show your love for
your parents?” Explain.
“Because Ben and Liz struggled.”
“Bess, because she helped mother to serve the
guests.”
“The best way to show my love for my parents
is by...”

Analysis

(Show picture of a girl eating an ice cream)

“A girl is eating a cone of ice cream.”
“What do you see on the picture?”
“Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”
“What happened to Liz when she was eating
a cone of ice cream?”

Liz was aglow with glee, answers what

happens to Liz when she eats a cone of ice
cream. This is called the effect.

Look again at the picture, “Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”
“What do you notice on Liz’s face?”
“Because she was eating a cone of ice cream.”
“Why was Liz aglow with glee?”

Because she was eating a cone of ice cream,

answers why Liz was aglow with glee. This is
called the cause.

And that’s what we call the Cause-and-effect

relationship.

Generalization
“A cause and effect relationship describes
something that happens and why it happens.”
“What happens is called the effect; and why it
happens is called the cause.”

“The cause is usually introduced by the

connective because.”

Application

Each group will act out the following

situations from the poem.

Group1:
But little Bess with Mom she stayed,
She set the table, drinks she laid.

For Liz held up an ice cream cone,
Enjoying it, she sat alone.

V. Assignment
Identifying CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP.
Read the short fable. Underline the CAUSE and Encircle the EFFECT.
A fox said to a crow with a piece of cheese between its beak, “If you can sing as
prettily as you sit, then you are the prettiest singer.”
The fox thought that once the crow starts to sing, the cheese would drop from her
beak. But the crow carefully removed the cheese from the claws on one foot and said,
“they say you are sly, but you cannot fool me”. Not giving up, the fox continued to
praise the crow. “I wish I could hear you tell about your talents but I have to go look
for food because I’m hungry”.
