WHAT IS IT?
Josh woke up early on Saturday morning and looked outside the window. The sun was
out and it was hot. His dad called him and said, “It is a perfect day, don’t forget to bring your
towel!” Josh grabbed a towel and they left the house.
Where do you think Josh and his dad were going? ___________________________________
Possessive Noun
A possessive noun is a noun that shows ownership. To form this, add an
apostrophe (‘) + s to the noun.
Examples: Maria’s bag, Mother’s watch
If the noun is plural, or already ends in s, just add an apostrophe (‘) after
the s.
Examples: the class’ history teacher, the songs’ order
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_9HuL3_tTA
ACTIVITY NO 2.2: After reading and watching the video about possessive nouns, do the
following activities.
Page 10 of 27
Agnes is my friend. She drives a white sports car. Agnes’s car is very new. Every time
she drives fast, I feel like jumping out of her car. The car’s stereo sounds good and the car’s
aircon is really cold. She brings her pet cat wherever she goes. The cat’s color is white and its
body has one black stripe. Sometimes the cat’s eyes are colored blue and sometimes violet.
Her pet’s size is really big and heavy. My friend’s delight is to bring her cat to the mall. It sits
at the back and because it seems that the back seat is the cat’s favorite spot. Likewise, Aries’s
cat also rides in Agnes’s car and they go to the mall together.
Always remember that when you are indicating ownership of something, you use a
possessive noun.
ACTIVITY NO 3: To check and reinforce understanding of the poem “No Conditions” and
possessive nouns, you will synchronously play a gamified quiz at https://wordwall.net as

____________________________________________________________________________
You have no choice about who is in your family group. You don't get to choose your
siblings, and you certainly don't get to choose your parents. Despite these limitations, family
love still flourishes. It isn't always healthy love, but it is a deep connection, nonetheless.
Deepen
LET’S CONNECT!
Healthy family love is unconditional. No matter what the other family members say,
do, or feel, you still love them for who they are. You might have completely different
opinions. You might strongly disapprove of something another family member does. You
might even have to remove yourself from the family situation. In a sense, they are still your
family and always will be.
Now, let’s explore more about the unconditional love of the family by watching the
videos below:

LET’S GENERALIZE!
When you love your family members, you show your respect through your words and
actions. You show family love by honoring the other family members' rights, even when you
don't agree with their choices.
Healthy family love is a choice that starts with the parents. It isn't something that
happens without thought and dedication. There are several ways to build healthy family love
throughout the lifespan of the family.

The picture above is a broomstick. As we all know this bundle of sticks is effective in
cleaning than using only one stick. Just like a family who sticks together all the time. There’s
nothing that can tear a family down when they stand together. In today’s story, we will learn
the importance of unity in a family. But before that let us enhance first your vocabulary.
Use context clues to find the meaning of the unfamiliar words. Encircle the words
being referred to by the underlined words.
1. There was constant quarreling among the brothers. They always fight about little
things.
2. The sons were always bickering. They keep arguing about little things.
3. One day the quarreling became more aggressive and became more violent.
4. If you help and work with each other, it will be impossible for your enemies to injure
you, and no one gets harmed.
5. Team unity is critical for the brothers and it turns crucial if they don’t cooperate.
Unity in a Family
Anonymous
Page 17 of 27
A father had a family of sons. Unfortunately, they weren’t very nice to each other.
There was constant quarreling and bickering.
No matter what the father said to his sons, it didn’t do any good. As a result, he
thought long and hard about what he could say. He wanted to provide them some kind of
lesson that would help them realize the impact that their constant quarreling would ultimately
have.
One day the quarreling became more aggressive and even violent. The father broke it
up and sent each son to a different corner of the yard.
It was at that point that this wise father came up with a lesson. He sent one of the sons
to bring him a bundle of sticks.
He tied the bundle of sticks and asked each son to take turns in trying to break them.
Each of them tried very hard, but couldn’t come close to snapping the bundle.
The father then untied the bundle and gave each son one stick and asked them t break
it now. They did so easily.
He then said. “My sons, do you not see how if you help each other? and work with
each other, it will be impossible for your enemies to injure you? But if you continue to be
divided amongst yourselves you won’t be any stronger than a single stick.
ACTIVITY NO 2.1
After reading the story “Unity in a Family”, try to answer the questions below.

The first essential key to have family unity is commitment. When we commit to our
family, we have loyalty to them and we cooperate on whatever plans each member wants to
do.
If we have a family member who doesn’t want to cooperate, we can always talk to
them. Communication is also important in a family, when we communicate, we can
understand each other and learn the problems that each member experiencing.

Feeling supported by your family is one of the most important elements of building
strong family bonds. Bonds like these will last your kids a lifetime. They will enjoy these
strong bonds when they are your age and even after you are gone.
To create a sense of support, encourage everyone to learn what things are important to their
family members and to do their best to support each other through the good and the bad times.
Everyone in the family should feel empowered to share their good news as well as share their
bad news.
