1. Review

Last meeting we talked about community

isn’t it?
Now let us review.
What is a a community? A community is a group of people living
or working together in the same area.

People in communities might go to the

same schools, shop in the same stores
and do the same things. They also help
each other and solve problems together.
If it’s a bigger, the people in it might not
always go to the same places, but they
might not always go to the same places,
but they might like or believe in the
same things.

Very good children!

Can you give your self a “good job clap?” (perform the good job clap)

B. Lesson Proper

What do you believe the definition of a

community and what different
communities look like? Answer it with
your own ideas.
(Volunteers stating their own
(Ask for volunteers) perspectives about the question being
raise.)
1. Discussion
Do you have neighbors? They can live
close to you or far away. Everyone has a
neighbor because the whole world is
made up of people. People live in a
community, which is the place where
different groups of people live. They
could live close together or far apart. The
members of a small or large community
like a town, state, or country are called
citizens. In addition, citizens usually
follow the same rules. Rules are what
help people get along with each other,
guiding people to do things or not to do
things. Most community rules are called
laws. Stopping at a red light, and then
going when it turns green, are both rules.
It is important to follow laws and to be a
good citizen. Helping others may not be
a law, but by doing so you are being a
good citizen. Being a good citizen is
showing you are a responsible member
of the community. It shows you care
about the neighbors living in your
community, plus they will care about you
too. In most parts of the world, there are
three types of communities: urban,
suburban, and rural. Each type of
community is different, but each of them
has citizens, neighbors, laws, rules, and
responsibilities.

URBAN: The city and the places around

it.
• Large number of people and tall
buildings.
• People live close together, very few
backyards.
• High-rise apartment buildings and
town houses.
• Office buildings, taxi cabs, and buses
are in cities.
• Maybe a large park, swimming pool, or
rec center.
SUBURBAN: Medium-sized community,
near a large city.
• Different-sized homes, people drive or
bus to work.
• Homes with lawns, yards, and garages.
• Less people than a large city, with
some apartments.
• Many small parks, fields, and shopping
malls.
RURAL: Open land, farms and forests,
fewer homes.
• Houses are far apart, sometimes miles
apart.
• Most farms are in rural areas.
• Some community parks, fields, state
fairs.
• People sometimes drive far to get to
places.

The citizens living in the communities

come from different cultures and
backgrounds, and may have special
customs, traditions, and celebrations. All
of the communities have schools and
places where children can learn and play
with each other.

Even though there are several

differences in each type of community,
the adults and children living in each
place love to work, play, laugh, and have
fun with their families and neighbors.

Remember, each type of community

(urban, suburban, rural) may be a little
different, but each has citizens,
neighbors, laws, rules, and
responsibilities. Everyone in a
community must get along with each
other and respect each other’s
differences.

2. Recapitulation

So, we have discussed the different types

of the communities.

So, what are the different types of the

communities and explain each.

First, Diana. Can you give me 1 type of

community and explain it. First is the Urban it is the city and the
places around it.
Next, Joylyn. Can you give me another
type of community and describe. Then the suburban it is medium-sized
community, near a large city.
Lastly, Illmi. Can you give me the last
type of community and give further Last is the rural it is an open land, farms
explanation. and forests, fewer homes.

Good job, everyone. Let us give

yourselves a “Fireworks Clap”. (Perform the Fireworks Clap)

3. Application

So I guess it is clear to everybody.

Let us now proceed to our activity. (Students will actively participate to the
activity.)
You will create a collage of the different
types of the communities and afterwards
I will be selecting students randomly to
present their work.

4. Valuing

Appreciating the community they living

in.
