Lesson 19 Day 3: Identifying a Cause and Effect Relationship

Skill Lesson: Using Descriptive Words

1. Presentation/Introduction
Post the four pictures in random order on the board. Ask pupils to describe what each picture
shows.

Say: Here are pictures showing how our surroundings look like if there is a typhoon. Describe
what you see in the first picture. What typhoon signal do you think can make our surroundings
look like this? Post the strip of paper with “Typhoon Signal Number 1”.
(Use the same set of question and continue posting the strip of paper) until you reach Typhoon
signal number 4.

Say: While looking at the picture of the surroundings during typhoon signal number 1. Ask:
Why are some branches of trees broken? Wait for the answers and explain that it is because of
Typhoon signal number 1. Typhoon signal number 1 is the CAUSE and some branches of trees
are broken is the EFFECT or RESULT.

Say: While looking at the picture of the surroundings during typhoon signal number 2. Ask:
Why are roofs of some nipa houses gone? Wait for the answers and explain Because it is
Typhoon signal number 2 that is why roofs of nipa houses are gone. Typhoon signal number 2
is the CAUSE and the roof of nipa houses are gone is the EFFECT.

Say: While looking at the picture of the surroundings during typhoon signal number 3. Ask:
Why are many coconut trees broken and destroyed? Wait for the answers and explain Because
it is Typhoon signal number 3 that is why many coconut trees are broken and destroyed.
Typhoon signal number 3 is the CAUSE and many coconut trees are destroyed is the EFFECT.

Say: While looking at the picture of the surroundings during typhoon signal number 4. Ask:
Why are large trees uprooted? Wait for the answers and explain Because it is Typhoon signal
number 4 that is why large trees are uprooted.. Typhoon signal number 4 is the CAUSE and
large trees are uprooted is the EFFECT.

2. Modeling/Teaching

Say: There is a cause-effect relationship in the sentences for the pictures. A CAUSE tells the
reason why something happens or has to be done. An EFFECT tells the result or effect of an
event or an idea.

There are steps on how to identify a cause and an effect.


Refer the class to Activity 200.

3. Guided Practice

A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR MALOU


By: Dinah C. Bonao
Malou came home from school. She was very happy.
“You look so happy.” Mother noticed. “How was school?,” she added.
“It was fine, Mom. I learned many things in school today. I learned that a flag is a
national symbol. It represents our country,” replied Malou.
“ Yes, the Philippine flag is one of the most beautifully designed flags in the
world,” said Mother.
“Our flag is made up of three colors. These are blue, red and white with a golden
yellow sun. The sun has eight rays. These stand for the eight provinces that fought for the
freedom of the country. It has also three stars representing the three major islands of the
country—Luzon,Visayas and Mindanao,” said Malou.
Father added, “We Filipinos should respect our flag. Doing so shows that we love
our country.”
“Yes! I think Filipinos are the most patriotic people in the world. We are willing to
give up our lives for the Philippines,” Mother explained.
“ That’s right, Father. That is why I make sure that I always show my love for our
country,” Malou said proudly.

ideas freely flow.

3. Motive Question

What do you think will Andy and his classmates feel meeting a monster at school?
During Reading

(Note: Before the reading time begins, the teacher assigns some pupils for the role play of some
story parts.)

The Monster Who Came to School

When Andy got on the bus on the first day of school, he saw a monster! Andy was very
surprised. He did not know that monsters were allowed to go to school. But there the monster
was. It was making all kinds of noise and would not sit down. It climbed on the seats and put
its head out the window. It took up so much room that Andy had no place to sit.

“Wow, that monster sure is noisy! I’ll bet it isn’t even supposed to be here,” Andy whispered to
Vicky.

STOP AND ASK: What do you think will the teacher feel when she sees a monster in
school?

But Andy’s teacher was not at all surprised to see the monster entered the classroom. It pushed
ahead of everyone, grabbed a box of toys, and dumped them on the floor. When Andy and the
other children sat at their places, the monster started to throw the toys.

Stop that!” said the teacher. “Even monsters are not allowed to throw toys.”

The monster dropped the toys and started screaming. It screamed so loudly that no one could
hear the teacher. “Be quiet!” the teacher finally said.

The monster stopped screaming and the teacher said, “It’s time to play outside.”

STOP AND ASK: What do you think would the monster do?

Everyone stood up and walked to the door—everyone except the monster. It ran out the door
without waiting for directions.

Outside, the monster continued to behave like a monster. It pushed some children and took toys
from others. It climbed up the slide the wrong way and sat at the top so no one else could slide
down.

When the students returned to the classroom, the teacher tried to read them a story. But the
monster shouted and laughed and no one could hear. Then it pulled the toys off the shelves
again. It would just not listen!

At lunchtime, the monster grabbed other people’s sandwiches. It dropped food on the floor on
purpose and poured its milk on the table. Later, when it was time to paint, the monster ran
around the room painting big, black lines on the other children’s pictures! When the children
formed a circle and tried to sing, the monster jumped around and stepped on their toes. It
pounded on the piano until the teacher had to close it.
At rest time, the monster laughed and talked and poked the children and even pulled their hair.
“Come here!” said the teacher, who was very angry. “You are a real monster! Monsters are not
allowed at school. Go away and never come back!”

STOP AND ASK: What do you think will the monster do?

The monster burst into tears! Everyone was astonished. “I’m sorry!” cried the monster. “I’ve
never been to school before. I didn’t know it was against the rules to shout and run and push, or
to grab and throw things. Please don’t tell me I can’t come back! I will try to learn if you all
will help me.”

The teacher asked the children what they thought. The children decided to make a list of rules.
They would let the monster stay---if it followed the rules. The monster worked hard to learn
how to behave, and soon it knew all the rules, just the way all the children did.

The monster took so much space at the bus.


The Monster screamed loudly.

While the teacher was reading a story,


Monster laughed and shouted.

At rest time, the monster pulled children’s


hair.

2. Modeling/Teaching

Say: In order to find the effect, ask what happens next? To find the cause, ask why something
happened?

There are some clue words to identify the cause and effect. These are so, since, because and if.

(Present some sentences with the aforementioned clue words.)

Can we now complete the C and E Chart?

Again, what question would you ask to find the cause? To find the effect?

3. Guided Practice

Say: At this moment, we are going to work in trios. To deepen our understanding about
identifying cause and effect, we will have this activity called Show-Cause-Effect.Each group
will be given an envelope containing different sentence strips. These strips can either show
cause or an effect. The fastest trio to get the right answers will receive a ‘Thumbs Up’ Card.

Say: You decide together to get the correct clue words for cause and effect.

(Note: In envelopes, each group should receive 2 pairs of sentence strips. Pupils’ answers
should be posted in the Cause and Effect Chart.)

Sample sentence strips:

You forget to return a borrowed book from a friend.

She feels hurt and avoids you.

You tease

You tease a friend at school.


You fell asleep in class.
Your teacher asked you to stay after class.

Your socks don’t match.

You feel uncomfortable.

You spilled water on someone in the canteen.

He was a bit angry.

4. Independent Practice

Refer your pupils to Activity 218

Say: This time, work in groups of six. Trios should join together to form the groups. You will
talk about the rules that you need to follow in school.

Groups T and E: Complete the What if We Break the Rules Chart.

What if We Break the Rules Chart

Rules at school Effects if we break the rules

Groups A and M: Make a Thumbs UP card for a person/ group/team who follow school rules.
Then write a simple note showing your appreciation to them.

(Note: The group’s output should be presented before the class.)

Skill Lesson: Comparative Degree of Adjective
1. Presentation/Introduction

Before class begins, post the ‘More fun with things around us! Observe the pupils’ responses
as they do the I-Stand activity.

More fun with things around us!

Give each pupil names of animals and other things that they can compare.
(Examples:

dog – cat Rose – Sampaguita horse – goat


carabao - goat 1liter bottle - 500mL bottle helicopter - airplane

Assign some pupils to serve as post. Each of them will be holding each of the following
adjectives:

big - bigger fragrant – more fragrant fast - faster


tall - taller

Say: I will be giving you names/pictures of some objects or things, and animals. While
holding it, think how these objects/animals are different from each other.

Ask the pupils holding the pair of adjectives to go in front of the class one after the other.

Say: Listen to my questions.


Ask: Which is bigger? Dog or cat?
Carabao or goat?

Ask the children holding the animals to go to the right post: big or bigger.

Do the same with the remaining pair of adjectives.

2. Modeling/Teaching

Ask the following questions, then, write on the board pupils’ answers.

Which are big?


Which are bigger?
Which is fragrant?
Which is more fragrant?
Which is tall?
Which is taller?
Which are fast?
Which are faster?

The Country Mouse and the City Mouse

Pre Reading
1. Unlocking/Vocabulary & Concept Development
Unlock the difficult words below using pictures.

(feast, ham, jellies, nibbling)


Refer your pupils to LM Activity 228 to check if the words were understood.

2. Motivation Question:
Have you been in a city/province? What experiences did you have in the city/province?

3. Motive Questions:
What are the experiences of the City Mouse in the province?
What are the experiences of the Country Mouse in the city?

During Reading

Say: Listen as I read ‘The Country Mouse and the City Mouse’.

During the question and answer part, use gestures and voice dynamics to further help the pupils
know the meaning of some difficult words in the text such as terrible, nibbling, etc. Limit the
responses of the pupils by calling only two in every question.

The Country Mouse and the City Mouse


Adapted

One summer, the Country Mouse invited his friend, the City Mouse, to have dinner at
home. So, the Country Mouse prepared corn and camote for dinner. While eating, the
City Mouse said, “You hardly have anything to eat here. Come to the city and I will
show you such rich feast in my place.”

STOP AND ASK:

1. Who was invited for dinner?


2. What did the Country Mouse prepare for his friend?
3. Did the City Mouse get satisfied with what his friend offer? Why? Why not?

The Country Mouse was so curious about the city life. So, he decided to go with his
friend.

When they arrived, the Country Mouse looked around the house and he was so
surprised! There were all kinds of food on the table. There were ham, cheese, jellies,
cakes, and fruits. The Country Mouse started nibbling the cheese.

“So delicious! I have never tasted anything like this,” he said.


STOP AND ASK:

1. Why did the Country Mouse decide to go to the city?


2. If you were the Country Mouse, would you stay long in the city? Why?

Suddenly, before the Country Mouse barely took another bite, he heard some
scratching sound. “Meow! Meow!” the cat said, approaching the dining table.

“Run,” yelled the City Mouse.

They ran to the corner as fast as they could.

STOP AND ASK:

1. What did the two friends hear?


2. What did they do when they saw the cat?
3. If you were one of the mice, would you also run away from the cat? Why?

“What is that?” asked the Country Mouse shaking his body.

“A cat. Once he gets you, he’ll eat you up,” said the City Mouse.

“This is terrible. I think I will go home. I’d rather have corn and camote in peace
than sugar and cheese in danger,” said the Country Mouse to his friend. So, he went
back to his home with a happy heart.

STOP AND ASK:

1. What did the County Mouse decide to do?


2. What did the Country Mouse mean when he said “I’d rather have corn and camote in peace
than sugar and cheese in danger”?
3. If you were the Country Mouse, would you also decide to leave the city? Why? Why not?

Post Reading

1. Engagement Activity
How can you help the Country Mouse? Write him a short note of advice.
For the instruction of the activity, refer your pupils to LM Activity 229.
Lesson 22 Day 2: Decoding/Fluency/Writing/Cause and Effect

Skill Lesson: Words and Phrases with Digraph oa


Refer your pupils to LM Activity 230.

1. Presentation/Introduction

(Note: Present the diagram of events of the story The Country Mouse and The City Mouse.)

Say: Let us go back to the story. What did the Country Mouse decide to do at the beginning of
the story? What were the results of the Country Mouse’ decision/act?

The Country Mouse got surprised at what


he saw on the table.

The Country Mouse saw and ate a lot of


The Country Mouse went to the city. different food served on the table.

The Country Mouse together with the


City Mouse were chased by a big cat.

Ask: What are the results or the effects of the Country Mouse’ visit to the city?

2. Modeling/Teaching

Let us take a look at the sentences that we formed from the diagram.
a. The Country Mouse decided to visit the city because he was too curious about what
the city looks like.
b. The City Mouse and the Country Mouse ran to the corner of the house so they can
hide from the cat.
c. So that Country Mouse can have peace of mind, he decided to go back to the farm.

Discuss how the clue words (because, so, so that) can help the pupils find out which part of
the sentence tells the cause or the effect.

By simply examining the cause-and-effect diagram above, is it possible for a cause to have
several effects?
Remember:
 A cause is why something happens. To find a cause, look for a reason why something
happened.
 An effect is what happens because of the cause. To find an effect, look for the results of
the cause.
 Usually, a cause always happens first. Then it is followed by the effect.
 Clue words such as because, so, and so that are often used to help you understand cause
and effect in a sentence.

3. Guided Practice
Say: I will read a selection to you. Listen well and complete the diagram of Cause and Effect in
your notebook.
Refer your pupils to L22D2-Worksheet_, LM page_.
(Note: Read the selection aloud.)

Reasons Why People Move to the City

There are many reasons why people move to the city. There are lots of jobs in big
buildings, hospitals, schools, and offices. They move to the city because colorful
lights along its busy streets interest them. People are busy and active. The city is a
place where new things could be found.

4. Independent Practice

Say: Listen as I read another selection to you. Based on the selection, present a short dialog
showing the cause and several effects.

Refer your class to LM Activity 232.

Things Happen When People Move to the City

Many people move to the city. Everything becomes different. The cities become
crowded; there are so many cars on the streets. Traffic moves slower. Collecting
garbage becomes a bigger problem.

Lesson 22 Day 3: Fluency/Writing/Complex Sentences

Skill Lesson: Phrases and Sentence with Digraph oa


Refer your pupils to LM Activity 233.

Skill Lesson: Complex Sentences

1. Presentation/Introduction
Post three sentences about Why Things Happen When People Move to the City on the board.

Say: Let us read again some sentences from our paragraph yesterday.

2. Modeling/Teaching
Point to the first sentence.

Many people move to the city because they can find a better job.
Ask:
 How many ideas does the sentence give?
 Which tells the first idea?
 Which tells the second idea?
 Which idea can stand alone?
 Which idea cannot stand alone?
 What word helps to connect the two ideas?

Say: Let us read the next sentence.

When people move to the city, the place becomes crowded.

Ask:
 How many ideas does the sentence give?
 Which tells the first idea?
 Which tells the second idea?
 Which idea can stand alone?
 Which idea cannot stand alone?
 What word helps to connect the two ideas?

Say: These sentences complex sentences. We combine two simple sentences using conjunctions
to form a complex sentence.

A complex sentence is made up of two parts, an independent clause and a dependent clause
joined by linking words or conjunction.

Words like because, when, after, though, as soon as and so that are examples of conjunctions
that can be used in a complex sentence. These conjunctions make one part of the sentence
subordinate to the other part.

3. Guided Practice
Let us have a fun activity. Interview anyone in the school about:
 What does s/he want to do?
 What would happen if s/he continues doing it?

What does she want? What would happen if s/he


continue doing it?

Ex. Drawing dresses dolls could have many


clothes

Let the children form complex sentences based on the answers from their interviewee.

Forming Complex sentence

1. She wants to draw dresses so that her dolls could have many clothes.

Let the class write their answers in their notebook.

Guide the children in forming complex sentences especially in the use of conjunctions.

4. Independent Practice
Refer the class to LM Activity 234.

Lesson 22 Day 4: Fluency/Writing/Comparison and Contrast

Skill Lesson: Poem with oa digraph


Refer your pupils to LM Activity 235.

Skill Lesson: Comparison and Contrast

1. Presentation/Introduction
Post on the board an empty Venn diagram. Show your pupils two objects with similar and
different features - a cell phone and a telephone.
Say: I have here a cell phone and a telephone. Let us compare and contrast them.

In what ways are the cell phone and the telephone the same? Let us compare them. (Tack on
the board the word “compare”.)
(can be used to talk with people away from you)
(can help you communicate with people)
Write the pupils’ responses at the center space of the Venn diagram.
In what ways are they different? Let us contrast them. (Tack on the board the word contrast.)
(A cell phone can be used in texting while a telephone cannot be used as such.)
(A cell phone is movable while a telephone is stationary.)

Write your students’ descriptions for the cell phone on the left circle and the descriptions for the
telephone on the right circle.

2. Modeling/Teaching

What do we show or describe when we compare? (the similarities)


What do we show or describe when we contrast? (the differences)

Say: When we talk about two things, we compare and contrast them. When we compare, we say
the similarities. When we contrast, we tell the differences.

Show your pupils a pencil and a crayon

Say: Look at this pencil and this crayon. Compare them.

3. Guided Practice

Say: Let me see if you can compare and contrast the two characters in the story that I will read
to you. Complete the Venn diagram in your notebook.

Refer the class to LM Activity 236.

The Butterfly and the Caterpillar


an adaptation by Joseph Lauren

One summer morning, a butterfly rested on a beautiful rose. While she sipped the
sweet nectar from the flower, she saw a caterpillar crawl up the garden wall.

“Horrors!” the butterfly exclaimed, “Stop! Don’t come near me. I’m ashamed to be
seen where you are.”
Ask: Why do you think was the butterfly ashamed?

The caterpillar continued crawling. He munched on the leaf without listening to


the butterfly’s cry.

“Where are your wings? What are you eating?” the butterfly asked.

Ask: Does the caterpillar have wings?If he has as the butterfly claimed then,where
are they?

The caterpillar walked ahead. Then he said, “Eight days ago, young butterfly, you
were the same as I am. One night from today, my wings will grow. I would fly and
see all the bright and beautiful flowers.”

Ask: How did the butterfly looks like eight days ago?

“I’m sure my wings would be brighter and more beautiful than yours.
So, go, fly but try not to be so proud. Each caterpillar is given a chance to become
a butterfly. We are but the same. ”

Ask: What will happen to caterpillar in the days to come? What should all
butterflies need to remember while flying?
Post Reading
A. Comprehension Check
Say: Let us talk about the story.
1. Who are the characters in the story?
2. When did the story happen?
3. Why was the butterfly ashamed to be seen by the caterpillar?
4. How do you think did the caterpillar feel when the butterfly told him not to come near
it?
5. What was the response of the caterpillar?
6. Can the caterpillar be like a butterfly?

After reading, have the children describe the characters


Butterfly Caterpillar
appearance

movement

Food they eat

Say: Let’s go back to the activity that you answered before we read the story.
From the comparison chart, the children would be able to say that the caterpillar and the
butterfly are different from each other. Let the children find the similarities through the part
of the story:

“Eight days ago, young butterfly, you were same as I am. One night from today, my
wings will grow. I would fly and see all the bright and beautiful flowers.”

B. Engagement Activity

Refer the class to Activity 239.

Lesson 23 Day 2: Decoding/Fluency/Writing/Inferring

Skill Lesson: Inferring

1. Presentation/Introduction
Show the Venn Diagram of the butterfly and the caterpillar from yesterday’s discussion.
(Write in the middle part the similarities between the caterpillar and the butterfly. They can
explore the good qualities they share together.)
Form four groups. Get lines from the previous story and write them on strips of paper.

“Horrors!” the butterfly exclaimed, “Stop! Don’t come near me.


I’m ashamed to be seen where you are.”

“Where are your wings? What are you eating?”

“Eight days ago, young butterfly, you were the same as I


am. One night from today, my wings will grow. I would
fly and see all the bright and beautiful flowers.”

“I’m sure my wings would be brighter and more beautiful


than yours. So, go, fly but try not to be so proud. Each
caterpillar is given a chance to become a butterfly. We are
but the same. ”

2. Modelling/Teaching
Ask each group to pick one. While holding the story part, let them answer the following
questions:

1. What do you think does this character really meant by saying that?
2. Why did this character (act, think, talk) that way?
3. What does this character want to do?
4. What do you think this character might do?
5. What is the author really trying to say?
Let each group present their answers. Take note of the children’s answers and organize their
answers into the chart. (Refer the class to Activity 241 for the copy of the chart.)

Say: How do we infer?There are steps on how it is done. First, read the sentence/s. Then, make
a guess of “what else” the sentence/s tells.

Ex. Butterfly thinks that the caterpillar is ugly that is why she is ashamed.

Lesson 23 Day 3: Fluency/Writing/Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives

Skill Lesson: Words, Phrases and Sentences with Digraph ee


Refer your pupils to LM Activity 244.

Skill Lesson: Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives

1. Presentation/Introduction
(Note: Place three toy monkeys, each one bigger than the other,
in a bag. Let the class describe the monkeys and compare them according to size.)

Ask: What do you know about monkeys? How are they characterized in most stories that you
read?

Say: I will read to you a short story about monkeys. Listen well.

Three clever cats lived in a house. The white cat was big. The black cat is bigger
than the white cat. The striped cat was the biggest of the three.
One day they baked a cake for dinner. “I will eat all the cake”, said the white cat in a
loud voice.
“I will eat it alone”, said the black cat in a louder voice.
“I will eat it all by myself” said the striped cat in the loudest voice.
A clever monkey lived in a tree nearby. He was more clever than the cats. In fact, he
was the most clever monkey in the world. He heard what the cats said and came into their
house. The cats were busy fighting among themselves. They did not see the monkey. The
monkey ate up the whole cake.
At last they stopped fighting. “Where’s the cake?” they said. “It ran away because
you made too much noise,” said the monkey.

2. Modeling/Teaching

Using the charts below lead the class in answering the following questions.

Ask: What are the adjectives used to compare the three cats?

Three cats White cat Black cat Striped cat

Their voice

What adjective is used to compare the monkey and the cats? What adjective is used to
compare the monkey with all monkeys in the world?
Monkey Monkey and the cats Monkey and all the
monkeys in the world

POSITIVE

COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE

After the children give their answers, write on the orange box POSITIVE, on the green box
COMPARATIVE and on the red box SUPERLATIVE . Then, ask the children what were
added to form the comparative and superlative forms and how many were being compared.

Say: Comparing using adjectives has three degrees. These are the positive, comparative, and
superlative degrees. We use adjectives in the positive degree if we are describing only one
thing or person. We say Ann is tall. We use adjectives in the comparative degree if we are
describing two objects or persons. We say The monkey was more clever than the cats. We use
adjectives in the superlative degree if we are describing three or more things and person. We
say In fact, he was the most clever monkey in the world.

For comparative degree of adjective, we add er at the end of some adjectives. We can also
add more before some adjectives. In sentences using this degree of comparison, we use the
word than.

For superlative degree of adjective, we add est at the end of some adjectives. We can also add
most before some adjectives. In sentences using this degree of comparison, we use the word
of all.

3. Guided Practice
Group students into fours and let them think of adjectives and its degrees of comparison. After
the given time, group presentation follows. Any group who has the same adjective with other

Lesson 23 Day 4: Writing/Complex Sentences

Skill Lesson: Complex Sentences

1. Presentation/Introduction

Read the story “A Day at the Park” to students


Say: Today, I am going to read to you a short story. Listen well because I will ask a few
questions about it.

A Day at the Park

I went to the park. I went on Saturday. I went with my friends. My friends are
Marie, Connie, and Roy. We rode our bikes. I rode my new bike. Roy brought his
basketball. We played basketball. We played for two hours. It was hot. We were
thirsty. Connie and Roy’s mom brought us lemonade and sandwiches. We ate them for
lunch. We had a lot of fun.

Explain to the students that, many times, weak stories are full of very short, choppy sentences.
One way writers can make these stories stronger is to combine short sentences into longer
sentences.

2. Modeling/Teaching
Let us compare some group of words from the story.

I went to the park. It is Saturday

I went to the park because it is Saturday.

We combined the two simple sentences. Now, we have I went to the park as the independent
clause. It expresses a complete thought. Because it is Saturday is a dependent clause. It does
not express complete thought. The marker because suggest that because it is Saturday is a
dependent clause.

To combine the two simple sentences we used the marker because.

Say: A clause can be dependent because of the presence of a:

 Marker Word (Before, after, because, since, in order to, although, though,
whenever, wherever, whether, while, even though, even if)
 Conjunction (And, or, nor, but, yet)

Let us have the next group of words.

We played basketball. We played for two hours. It is hot.


The new sentence is: We played basketball for two hours even if it’s hot.
How did we do it? We combined the three sentences. Now, we have an independent clause
“We played basketball for two hours” and dependent clause “even if it’s hot”. The marker
“even if” tell us that even if it’s hot is a dependent clause.

Let us have the next independent and dependent clauses.

Connie and Roy’s mom brought us lemonade and sandwiches. We ate them for lunch.

The new sentence is: Connie and Roy’s mom brought us lemonade that we ate for lunch.
How did we do it? What words were omitted? What word did we use to combine the two
sentences?

3. Guided Practice
In small groups, have the class combine the set of dependent and independent clauses below.

Dependent Clause Independent Clause New Sentences


Because Roy brought his We played basketball.
basketball,
After riding our bikes, We played volleyball.
Although it is raining, It is fun to be with friends in
the park.
Before dinner time, I should be home to meet my
cousins who come from the
province.

4. Independent Practice

Have students find complex sentences in the books they are reading. Have them copy them in
their notebook. Have them separate the two clauses in each sentence.

Lesson 23 Day 5: Writing

1. Presentation/Introduction
Ask: What comes to mind when you see the object below?

What is inside the envelope? When do you write a letter? Do you write a letters too?
2. Modeling/Teaching

Teacher reads aloud the story “Two Friends, One World” (Francisca’s Story)

Two Friends, One World


Francisca’s Story
by Ramon C. Sunico and Joanne de leon

I have a friend who lives in another world. His name is Antonio. The world he lives
in is full of sounds and smells and tastes and feeling.

My world is also full of sounds and smells and tastes and feeling, but sometimes, I
am too busy seeing to notice these other things.

Every Saturday afternoon, as the sun is about to go down, his mama brings him to
the park where I am already waiting. I can see him from far away because, Papa
says, I have such big eyes.

I run to him and take his hand and his Mama lets us walk around. Antonio teaches
me to be quiet- so quiet I can hear the wind talk to the leaves, so quiet I can feel the
air turn cooler as the sun leaves the sky.
Antonio cannot see. He cannot see but he can smell the white flowers of the rosal
bush growing beside the broken wall of an old church behind the park –before I can
even come close enough to see the church. He knows when papa has brought
mangoes for us to eat, even when these are still in the basket.

One day, he showed me my first grasshopper. I was trying to tell him what a
mountain looked like when he said suddenly, “Shh Francisca, listen! There is
something moving in the grass.”

“Where, where? I can’t see anything!” I complained.

“Ay naku. Francisca, quiet or you’ll scare it away. Look with your ears first and
then with your eyes. Try to listen to yourself breathe and all the other sounds will
follow.”

And sure enough, I heard something small moving the dried grass aside. I followed
the sound, first with my ears and then with my eyes. Slowly, very slowly. And
when I could only hear Antonio and me breathing, I saw the grasshopper-all green
and pointed, with red stripe down its back.

And I thanked Antonio for showing me how to find the place where the
grasshoppers hide.

And he smiled the same smile he smiles after tasting a cool, ripe mango.

One day, I will tell him that, maybe, we do not live in two worlds.

After all, we meet every Saturday afternoon. What I can see, he can hear or taste or
smell or touch. What he cannot see, I can bring to him with words.

One day, we will meet one Saturday afternoon and I will tell him that, maybe there
is only one world. But it is so big and beautiful and there are so many things going
on inside it, that it takes two friends to enjoy it’s sweetness like a great, cool, sweet,
smooth, golden-yellow mango.

Dear friend,

I’m so happy today. I went to the park earlier with Antonio, my best friend. I saw a
grasshopper earlier. It was my first time to see this kind of insect when Antonio told me about it.
Now I know what a grasshopper looks like. I thank Antonio for showing me how to find the
place where the grasshoppers hide. I hope to see Antonio again next week.

Your friend,

Francisca

Ask: Who wrote the letter? Describe how the writer feels when she wrote the letter? Why is she

Mateo’s Favorite Clothes

One Saturday afternoon, Mateo found his Mother getting old clothes from his cabinet.
“What are you doing, Mama?” Mateo asked.
“I’m taking your old clothes to the evacuation center. Many children lost their clothes because
of the typhoon,“ Mother explained to him.
“But wait, Mom! They still fit me. Look,” Mateo said after fitting on his old red shirt.
“Grandma gave this to me. It’s my favorite,” Mateo added.
Mateo tried putting on his old jacket, pairs of pants and slippers. They still fit me. Mateo
remembered who gave them and when he received those items.
“Oh did I grow so much? I love these clothes. “Mateo told his mother.
“Ok, you can take them back,” Mother told Mateo.
So Mateo got the box with his old shirt, jacket, pants and slippers in it.
The next day Mother asked Mateo where the box was. She hoped that Mateo would change
his mind.
“Mama, the box was gone. I wasn’t able to take it to the evacuation center,” Mateo said.
“Oh, what happened?” Mother asked. “On my way to the evacuation center, I found a child
who really needed some clothes. I gave the box to him,” Mateo said.

SUPER RR
By: Jelly Sore

That Sunday night, Mateo had a dream. He dreamed about Rocky, the boy to whom he
gave a box of clothes. When Rocky wore Mateo’s old red shirt, Rocky transformed into a
superhero. Super RR, short for Super Red Rocky was on his shirt. He had a pair of red pants, a
golden cap and a golden cape. He flew on top of a golden mountain and looked at the village
with his pair of red eyeglass. There was a flood. He saw people on top of their houses. They
were asking for help. Super RR took off his pair of golden shoes and changed them in to two
shiny red boats. In a few minutes, he reached the village and saved hundreds of people. Mateo
was one of them. Just then, Mateo’s clock rang. Mateo opened his eyes. It was already a bright
Monday morning.

Have the class answer these questions:


1. Who is Super RR?
2. Describe him.
3. Where did Super RR go?
4. What did he see?
5. How did he help the people?

Do you think the top of the golden mountain is real? Can we find it in a real world?

Looking at the characters and setting of Mateo’s Favorite Clothes and Super RR, which story
is true or realistic? Which is just a make-believe or fantasy? Why?

Note to the teacher:

Lead the pupils to formulate the concept that the characters and setting of a story are
realistic if they can be found in a real world while the characters and setting of a fantasy story
can be found only in a make believe world.

Group the pupils into two groups.


Tell them that they will do the “Message Relay”.
Here is how to do it:

 Each group will choose a leader and a secretary.


 The leader will ask his group member to fall in line.
 The secretary will stay in front to write whatever the last child on the line will tell him
or her.
 The teacher will ask the leader of each group to get a piece of paper with the same
number. They will determine whether the characters or setting written on it is reality or
fantasy. Each group leader will whisper the answer to the next pupil on the line and so
on. The last child will run up front and he/she will whisper the answer to the secretary.
Then, she will write it on the board.
 The child who whispers the answer to the secretary will take a seat.
 The relay will continue until all pieces of paper are drawn in the box.
 The group with the highest number of correct responses will be the winner.
Use the character and setting of stories which are familiar to the pupils or the characters and
setting of stories from their previous lessons.

Rocky Male

2. Modeling/ Teaching

For review: Use the chart used in enumerating the characters in the story and tell the pupils that
they can use pronouns to replace the nouns.

Mateo is a boy.
He is a boy
He is used because Mateo is a boy/ male.
Mother is happy.
She is happy
She is used because Mother is a woman/ female

How about Gradma? What is the pronoun that we could use to replace the word Grandma?

How about for the noun children?


We use the pronoun they to refer to persons or people we talk about.
The children are noisy.
They are noisy.
Juriel, Gab and Rey are playing.
They are playing

How about when I am talking about myself?


When I am going to talk about myself then I should use I.
I(the person talking) am glad to be here.

How about if I am referring to the persons or people I talk to?


We use you to refer to persons or people we talk to. You use you when you directly talk to
person/s.
Ace (directly talking to Ace) to stop dancing.
You stop dancing.
Janica, Kat and Marie (to the girls I am talking to), go to the town and buy a basket of bananas.
You go to the town and buy a basket of bananas.

How about if I am talking about a thing?


We use the pronoun it to refer to a thing.

Our Questions Our Guesses What Really Happened

During Reading
Listen as I read the story about “ A Brave Little Girl”

Note to the Teacher:


Read the story aloud. Questions may be asked to the pupils to enable them to predict and to
interact with the text.

A Brave Little Girl

It was already seven o’clock in the evening. But Trina’s parents have not
yet arrived home from work. She called her three younger brothers for dinner but
still mother isn’t home until they slept.

Ask: What time of the night was it?


Why did Trina call her younger brothers?

After two hours, Trina woke up feeling hot. When she opened her eyes, she saw that
their house was on fire.

Ask: What happened after two hours?


What did Trina see? What do you think, will she do?

She immediately got up, grabbed the youngest brother and ran out of the
house. Trina suffered from major burns but her brother wasn’t hurt. She tried to get
back to the house to get her two other brothers. A neighbor saw her. He warned
and held her tightly. She cried hard while calling the names of her two brothers.

Ask: What did Trina do with her youngest brother?


Why did Tina try to go back to their house?
Was she able to get back to their house? Why?
What do you think would happen next?
Soon, rescuers arrived and tried to put off the fire. But after some
minutes, their house collapsed. Trina’s parents arrived from work. They
embraced Trina and brought her to the hospital.

Because of Trina’s bravery their town mayor offered help to her


family. They built their new home and gave money to support Trina and her
brother’s schooling.

Ask: Why did the mayor offer help to Trina’s family?


How did the mayor help Trina and her family?

Lesson 26 Day 2: ( 1st Half):
Determine whether a story is realistic or fantasy

1. Presentation/Introduction
Some stories are about real things. Some stories are about make believe things. Sometimes, the
pictures in a story can help you decide whether a story is real or make believe.
I am going to share with you some pictures. Show me a “thumbs up” sign if it is realistic and
“stamp your right foot” if it is a fantasy.

picture of a dog sitting on a picture of a dog reading a


sofa book

Picture of a school boy School children riding in a


riding in a flying banana leaf tricycle going to school

A frog playing ball A frog chasing an insect

Say: Let us recall our story about “The Brave Little Girl”
Is the story of “The Brave Little Girl” realistic or fantasy? Why do you say so?

2. Modeling/Teaching
Say: Are the characters in our story realistic or a fantasy? Why do you say so?
I have changed the ending of our story with this paragraph. Let us read.

Trina could not just stare at their burning house while she knew
her two other brothers were there. She turned as swift as she could and
lo! An aluminum basin dropped where she stood and said “Come Trina,
we will help your brothers”.

Trina hopped on to the basin and flew fast to their burning


house. The people were in panic that no one ever noticed Trina and the
flying basin. After a couple of minutes, Trina was back riding in the
flying basin with her two brothers free from any burn.

Flash words with the character, setting and some events in the story.
Say: I will be distributing letter cards with the “R” and “F” and we will be playing a
game. Raise your “R” letter card if it is realistic and “F” letter card if it is
a fantasy.
Trina Talking Aluminum Basin

In front of the burning house Trina could not just stare at


their burning house.

The people were in panic. The basin said “Come Trina,


we will save your brother.”

Trina rode on a flying basin

Ask: How will you know if the characters, setting or event is realistic or a fantasy?

Let the pupils understand that the characters, setting or events are realistic if
they are real and can happen in real life. On the other hand, they are a fantasy if
they are make-believe and are products of one’s imagination.
