(Provide picture)
 Teacher’s Activity
“Take a look at the picture, class. Did you
notice anything?”
“What about on the lower part?”
“You got it right. But aside from that, what
else?”
“What a good observation, you’re all
right!
How about the second one?”
“What did you notice? Are the sentences
having the same meaning?”
Very good! So then, why do you think so?”
“You’re absolutely correct! Now let’s move
on.”
B. Developing Acts
1. Presentation
Teacher’s Activity
“So I guess you're all set for today's lesson?”
Before we begin, What do you know about
capitalization?”
Student’s Activity
“Ma’am, on the upper part of the pictures is
the name of the person, the place, and the
car.”
“I think it is about the broad or normal term
for a person, a place or a thing.”
“I also noticed that the name of the
person is being capitalized as well as
the place and the car.”
But on the lower one were not capitalized.
“All the words are the same as with another
sentence.”
“But I noticed that they have a different
meaning.”
“Ma’am, I guess it’s all because of the
different punctuation marks that are used in
each sentence.”
Student’s Activity
“Ma’am, capitalization is writing a word
with its first letter as a capital
letter (upper-case letter) and the
 remaining letters in lower case.”
“Great participation so far! We'll get a better
understanding of capitalization and practice
with some examples.”
“What punctuation marks do you know? “Ma’am, we have punctuation marks like
Could you give me some example?” period, comma, colon, semicolon,
apostrophe, question mark, exclamation
mark, dash, hyphen, and parentheses.”
“That’s right! I guess that you all had an
advanced reading for our topic today.
Moving on to our lesson, let us familiarize
ourselves with the rules in capitalization.”

2. Discussion
Teacher. The most important reason why we need to know the rules in capitalization
and use correct punctuations in each sentence is for us to best understand the thought
of the text or the sentence.

Example: My all-time favorite

That’s right! Next rule is: My favorite lyrics from cardigan is “I knew

always capital.
Example: Jenny and I are going to

“Third rule is:

“Capitalize all proper names.”

only when they refer to specific regions.”
Example: The storm is heading
North.
“Always capitalize the first and last
words of titles of publications regardless of
their parts of speech. Capitalize other
words within titles, including the Be verbs.
(exception: do not capitalize little words
within titles such as a, an, the but, as, if,
and, or, nor, or prepositions, regardless of
their length)”
Example: The Girl Is Smiling at Me
Would someone like to give example?
“Lastly, capitalize the names of specific
course titles.”
Example: I will be taking Applied
Math in college.

So far, we’re doing well. But now, let us

take time to be familiar with the functions
of different punctuation marks.
By the way, what do you think is the
importance of knowing correct usage of
punctuation mark?
Ma’am, punctuation marks are used in a
sentence or such statements to organize
the structure and emphasize words or
phrases within.

You’re right! That’s brilliant! I love my pets.

Basically, punctuation marks are used to
capture in writing the emphasis we are
able to deliver orally. Additionally,
punctuation is a tool we use to organize
word arrangements to facilitate readability.
My favorite dessert is ice cream.
I studied at San Juan National High
School.

The first one is the period (.)

The period is the most basic punctuation
mark. Its function is to separate one
sentence from another. It should be used
at the end of a complete sentence.
Example: Paris is the capital of France.
Please share another example.

You’re all correct! She likes bananas, sundae, and fruit

Another is the comma (,) shake.
The comma is usually used to separate My dad bought me a pair of hairclip, dress,
words, phrases, or part sentences and and socks.
such.
Example: Mary bought a t-shirt, a pair
of jeans, and a handbag.
Another example, please.

That’s great! You’re all good learners! There are many different types of fruits in

sentence and make it more elaborate.
For instance: One thing is for sure: he
is not going to concede defeat.

I’m looking for another sentence with the

colon.

You’re doing it right! Let’s move on.

Another is the semi-colon (;)
The semi-colon is used to combine two
closely related sentences into one
sentence when a period or a connecting
word with a comma seems inappropriate.
For instance:  I took the children to the
zoo today; they haven’t been there before
Next is apostrophe (‘s) Daniel’s puppy is so cute.
 The apostrophe is usually used with an “s” The girl’s umbrella is very colorful.
to denote possession. When a noun does
not end with the letter “s”, the apostrophe
has to be followed by an “s” (‘s). For plural
nouns or names that end with “s”, only the
apostrophe has to be added.
Example: George’s book
 children’s toys
James’ mother
Another example, class.
Another is a question mark (?) Do you like Taylor Swift?
A question mark is used at the end of a Would you like some soup?
sentence to indicate that a question is Are you leaving now?
being asked.
Give me an example, class.

That’s great! Now, another is the Oh, my Gosh! I saw Taylor on the subway.
exclamation mark (!) Watch over! There are huge holes.
An exclamation mark is used to make a
sentence more emphatic. It can indicate
warning, excitement, astonishment, or
disgust.
For instance: Look out!
That’s fantastic!

It’s your turn to give more examples.

 The necessary preparations – the food,

That’s right! Next one is the dash (–) Costumes, and decoration – are all made.
A dash is used to denote a pause or a
change of thought in a sentence.
For instance: The performance was
impressive – a really great show.
Would you like to give another example?

Wow! Nice try! Thomas Edison (1847 – 1931) was a

The hyphen is used with compound words
or in words with prefixes and suffixes for The town of Jerez is well-known for its
many different purposes. bodegas (wine shops).

The last one is the parentheses ()

Parentheses are used to provide
explanation, comments, translation, or
include dates.
For example:  I went skydiving (which was
my first time) with my friends last
weekend.

Please give me another example.
