III. PROCEDURE
A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY

The teacher asks the students the following questions:

1. Are you fond of eating cookies?

2. Do we just mix all the ingredients of cookies altogether in one bowl?

After the questions, the teacher will explain that there are steps that need to be followed
in baking cookies. The teacher will show the steps in baking cookies, and the students will
be asked to organize them in their correct sequence. The teacher will use a random picker
to choose the students who will answer. The students will answer orally.
FIRST, preheat the oven to 350°F.
THEN, grease the cookie sheets.
AFTER THAT, stir the peanut butter and sugar
together in a medium bowl until smooth.
NEXT, beat in the eggs, one at time, then stir
in the baking soda, salt, and vanilla.
THEN, roll dough into 1 inch balls and place
them 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie
sheets. Bake for 8–10 minutes in the
preheated oven.
LASTLY, allow cookies to cool on baking
sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a
wire rack to cool completely.

B. PRESENTATION OF THE LESSON

After the motivational activity, the teacher will ask the students the following questions:
• How did you correctly organize the steps in making cookies?
• Can you observe the capitalized words in each sentence? Did it help you in
organizing the steps in their correct sequence?

Then, the teacher will explain that the capitalized words have something to do with
their topic for that day. The teacher will present the topic and the objectives. Next, the
teacher will proceed to the discussion of the lesson.

C. DISCUSSION

LOGICAL CONNECTORS - Kind and Uses

What are logical connectors?

Logical connectors are essential in speaking and writing. They are used to connect ideas
in a sentence. In a paragraph, they are used to join two ideas that have relationships. With
the use of connectors, we can clearly organize our ideas and emphasize the relationship
of one idea to another.

Why use logical connectors?

• Clarify your sentences

• Make your speech or writing more fluid
• Let’s you structure a narrative
• Emphasize ideas in a sentence
• Organize your text in chronological order, create contrasts, explain situations in
terms of cause and effect
• Summarize and introduce your arguments

Where should we put connectors?

Linking words or connectors can be placed at the beginning, in the middle, or even at the
end of your sentence. But you don’t always get to choose where to put them! They can’t
all be placed just anywhere in a sentence. It all depends on the role of the connector you
are using.

Kinds of Connectors

• Connectors That Signal Chronological and Logical Sequence

Numerical Beginning

first… secondly to start with to begin with

second… to begin with for a start
for a start initially
initially
Examples:
1. First, plug in your computer.
2. Initially, I found city life incredibly difficult, but now I'm used to it.
Continuation Conclusion
Chronological Logical Chronological Logical
previously next finally at last
after this then eventually last but not least
afterwards at last as a final point
eventually in the end lastly
subsequently to conclude (with)
before this

Examples:
1. About the same time the art was introduced into England by French refugees,
and soon afterwards it spread also to America.
2. Eventually they stopped their chatter and fell silent.

• Connectors that signal summation

in sum as has been noted given (all) these options
in summary as I have said hence
to sum up as was previously stated so
to summarize then

Examples:
1. In conclusion, baptism is a spiritual yet personal decision.
2. As I have said before, I had no aptitude for mathematics; the different points
were not explained to me fully.
3. Therefore, let us be exceedingly careful what we say and write about other
people.

E. ABSTRACTION
The teacher will ask the students the following questions:
1. What are logical connectors?
2. What are the different kinds of connectors that we have learned today?
3. Why do you think logical connectors are important?
4. Do you think this lesson is helpful in your everyday life? If yes, how?

F. EVALUATION/ASYNCHRONOUS TASK (not mentioned in the video)

(The teacher will post the instruction after the synchronous session and students will
turn in their outputs on their Google Classroom.)

Asynchronous Task: Let’s write a learning log!

Instructions: Write a learning log about what you learned yesterday in your subject,
English. Your learning log must contain a paragraph with 5-10 sentences. Use at least
3-5 logical connectors that you have learned from our lesson. Include the date of our
synchronous session (March 15, 2022), then write your name in the lower-left after the
paragraph you have written. You may use these templates to write your learning log
and you may also include pictures or any creative element you want to include. You
may read the example of a learning log on your textbook, page 192. Submit your output
on March 17, 2022 on our Google classroom. This task is good for 15 points, Goodluck
students!
