B. Motivation
“Before we go deeper into our lesson for (Students will listen carefully)
today, I read some story entitled, The
Potato, The Egg, And The Coffee Beans
.”

A boy named John was upset. His father

found him crying.When his father asked
John why he was crying, he said that he
had a lot of problems in his life.His father
simply smiled and asked him to get a
potato, an egg, and some coffee beans. He
placed them in three bowls.He then asked
John to feel their texture and then fill each
bowl with water.John did as he had been
told. His father then boiled all three
bowls.Once the bowls had cooled down,
John’s father asked him to feel the texture
of the different food items again.John
noticed that the potato had become soft
and its skin was peeling off easily; the egg
had become harder and tougher; the coffee
beans had completely changed and filled
the bowl of water with aroma and flavour.

“Is the story good class?” “ Yes Ma’am”

“What is the good moral of the story?”
“Very good ”
Ma’am, Life will always have problems
and pressures, like the boiling water in
the story. It’s how you respond and
react to these problems that counts the
most!

“Okey class, Let’s have an activity. Here’s a

list of Five (5) sentences about the story
above. All you have to do is to determine
whether proper noun or common noun in
the sentences.

If you think the answer is “Proper noun,”

all you have to do is underline (_) and If
you think the answer is “Common noun,”
all you have to do is encircle (_).

“Do you have any questions?” “None Ma’am”

1. A boy named John was upset.
 2. His father simply smiled and asked
him to get a potato, an egg, and
some coffee beans.
3. He then asked John to feel their
texture and then fill each bowl with
water.
4. John noticed that the potato had
become soft and its skin was
peeling off easily.
5. The coffee beans had completely
changed and filled the bowl of
water with aroma and flavour.

C. Lesson Proper
“Who among you knows what is Proper A proper noun is the name of a particular
Noun?” person, place, organization, or thing.
Proper nouns begin with a capital letter.
“Very Good. Yes, remember class that a
proper noun begin with capital letter.” “Yes Ma’am”
For example, Margaret, London, and the
United Nations.

“Next, who among you knows what is A common noun is the general, non-
Common Noun?” specific term for a person, place, thing, or
idea. Usually, common nouns are not
capitalized unless they begin a sentence.

“That’s great.”
Remember class that names a class of “Yes Ma’am”
persons or things or any individual of a
class and that may occur with a limiting
modifier (as a, the, some, or every) The
words "child," "city," and "day" are
common nouns.
For example, as you work on your “Yes Ma’am”
homework, think about the things you are
using. You might be using a computer, a
textbook, or a pencil.

“Okey Class, Very good !!

participation.
