1. Discussion
Now class, I will read a story for
you. This story is entitled,
Doing things for Mother by Nelia
B. Bamba

It was Saturday morning Louie

sat in the sala and was busy
watching his favorite TV shows.
He had some cookies for snacks
so that he would not be going
to the kitchen anymore in case
he becomes hungry.
It was almost noontime when
he noticed that Mother was not
in the kitchen. When he looked,
he saw that the plates, pots and
pans were still in the kitchen
spot unwashed.
“Where’s mom?” Louie asked.
He went to his parent’s room.
His mother was in bed
“Are you sick, mom?” Louie
asked. He went near to his
mother and touched her
forehead.
“I feel tired and my head is
aching. I only need some rest
perhaps later, I will be all right,
“Mother said.
“Just stay in the bed and rest
Mom. I’ll get you something to
eat, “said Louie.
Thank you, Louie, “said his
mother.
Louie brought a soup, a piece of
bread, and a banana. He
watched while his mother ate
the food. Then he went back to
the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Louie walked into the room to
check on his mother. She was
fats asleep, so he kissed her
goodnight before going to his
room.
The next morning, when Louie’s
mother woke up, she was in for
a big surprise. The kitchen was
very clean. There was a glass of
warm milk, some pandesal, and
fried egg waiting for her.
Mother was very happy. She
thanked Louie for being do
thoughtful.
Now let’s identify the elements
of the story, we have 3
elements:
 Setting – it tells when
and where the story
happens. For example,
Place: At the park
Time: Wednesday
 Character – it tells who
the persons in the story
are, (e.g.,Jane, Krisz,
Father, Sister).
 Plot – It tells what the
 events or happenings
are.
So now, based on our story
“Doing things for Mother”, let’s
identify the 3 elements of the
story by the help of the story
map.

All you have to do is to complete

the story map by pasting these
words on the board where it
should be placed. Am I
understood?

So, this “One Saturday” where

should it be placed? Yes, teacher!
Yes, Ruby? Come here in front
and paste it on board.
Ruby, paste it on setting, is she
correct?

Very good! Ruby is correct.

How about this “Mother and Yes, teacher!
Louie?
Yes, Ivy?
Ivy paste it on character. Is she
correct?

Very good! Mother and Louie

are the characters in the story. Yes, teacher!
So, let’s have this “At home”
Yes, Janine?
Janine paste it on setting. Is she
correct class?

Very good, because it is where

the story happens. Yes, teacher!
Now, let’s have the sequence of
the story.
What happened first?

And what happened next?

Louie watched TV the whole Saturday
morning.
After that?
Mother was sick and couldn’t do the
work in the kitchen.
The next thing happen was?
Louie prepared breakfast for his
mother.
And lastly?
Louie washed the dishes and clean
the kitchen.
Very good! Now, everybody
read. Mother thanked Louie for doing
things for her.
2. Generalization

4. Application Louie. We should take care our

 will group the class into two
groups. All you have to do is to
retell the story using the story
map as a guide. Group 1, retell
the story through oral
presentation while group 2

(after 5 minutes, each group
perform their tasks)

IV. Evaluation
Now, I have here a story. Let me read the story then answer the questions on the
worksheets that I gave to you. Am I understood class?
The Lion and the Mouse
A lion was once sleeping in the jungle when a mouse started running up and
down his body just for fun. This disturbed the lion’s sleep, and he woke up quite
angry. He was about to eat the mouse when the mouse desperately requested
the lion to set him free. “I promise you, I will be of great help to you someday if
you save me.” The lion laughed at the mouse’s confidence and let him go.
One day, a few hunters came into the forest and took the lion with them. They
tied him up against a tree. The lion was struggling to get out and started to
whimper. Soon, the mouse walked past and noticed the lion in trouble. Quickly,
he ran and gnawed on the ropes to set the lion free. Both of them sped off into
the jungle.
