A family
Having a picnic Watching TV together Going to church together
Yes, teacher!
Because to make family stronger and happier.
We ate together We go to church together We play together
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.,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, 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 Louie? Yes, Ivy? Ivy paste it on
character. Is she correct?
Very good! Mother and Louie are the characters in the story. 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. Now, let’s have the sequence of the
story. What happened first?
And what happened next?
After that?
The next thing happen was?
Yes, teacher!
Yes, teacher!
Yes, teacher!
Yes, teacher!
Louie watched TV the whole Saturday morning.
Mother was sick and couldn’t do the work in the kitchen.
Louie prepared breakfast for his mother.
Group 2: Complete the sentences.
So, I’ll give you 5 minutes to prepare and recall the story. (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.
