2. Lesson Proper
A. Presentation of the objectives of the Lesson
 The teacher will present the lesson objectives by allowing learners to read it.
The teacher will then repeat reading the objective and will give a little hint to
emphasize the learning goals that students will achieve at the end of the
lesson.
 After reading the objectives, the teacher will once again ask if the learners are
ready for the lessons and the activities. The teacher will then repeat the
classroom standards to prompt students to be ready with the activity.
B. Pre-Activity (Motivation)
 The students will have a game a called “WHAT’S YOUR SAY”
 The students will be read a series of statements in a slide presentation
that will prompt them to choose between two options. They will type
their choices on the mini slate boards provided.
1. Would you rather be completely bald or covered from head to
toe with hair?
2. Would you rather live in Narnia or go to school at Hogwarts?
3. Would you rather have overly large hands or very small feet?
4. Would you rather live without your phone for two weeks or your
computer for a month?
5. Would you rather lose your ability to speak or have to say
everything you are thinking?
C. Activity Proper
 After the preliminary activity, the teacher will proceed to the class activity. But
before giving the instructions, the teacher will remind again the students with
the necessary health protocols. After the reiteration of the health protocols,
the teacher will administer the activity.
 The students will have a READING activity. Read the excerpt taken
from an article entitled “We are Failing Mother Nature”, then answer
the questions that follow. Write your answers on a separate sheet of
paper.
“It is clear as day as to the environmental problems we are facing nowadays. On
the internet, we can see the impacts of human greed to the environment from
rivers and seas being littered with our garbage, wildlife going extinct, increasing
temperature, massive wildfires, and melting ice caps, among many others.”
“Our human greed is putting the only livable planet in our solar system in
danger. It is sad to note that the future generation will not be able to enjoy the
beauty of earth because we have been careless and greedy.”
D. Analysis
 The teacher will then ask questions base on the activity. In case students find
it difficult to answer the questions, the teacher can use Tagalog or Bisaya
language or paraphrase/contextualize the questions for learners to better
understand and answer the questions. In case learners’ answers are needing
more support, other learners will be called through the same method, or the
teacher may shift to voluntary modality to allow other learners who are ready
 to share to answer the questions. The teacher must also ensure those other
learners are given a chance to share their answers.
1. What is the main claim or argument of
the excerpt?
2. Do you agree with the claim or argument expressed by the writer?
Why or why not?
E. Abstraction
 The students will dissect the presented exposition text based on its structure
and features. They are tasked to locate the exposition writing features in the
material read.
 What is an argumentative essay?
a type of essay that presents arguments about both sides of an issue. It could
be that both sides are presented equally balanced, or it could be that one
side is presented more forcefully than the other. It all depends on the writer,
and what side he supports the most.
 Argumentative Essay Structure
 Introduction
 Hook - First of all, think about a powerful, eye-catching hook to grab
your reader's attention. Sure, it is important to know who your target
audience is first. DifferenT people require different approaches.
 Background Information - Don't try to write too much in this part. Simply
name a topic and give a hint on what you'll be talking about in your
argumentative text. Briefly explain why the topic is important and who
cares about it.
 Thesis Statement - This part contains the main argument. Don't pose
any questions here - just state your main point of view clearly and
without any hesitations.
 Working on your arguments
 Claim - It is a statement to support your argumentative essay's thesis.
 Evidence - This is based on credible facts and statistics the writer finds
during the research process.
 Looking for opponent’s claims - For every argument against, you should present
enough evidence to prove you're right.
 Conclusion
 Rewrite the thesis statement - While arguing with various opinions, you
have lost the focus. Remind the readers of your topic by restating your
thesis. Make it clear why your argument is a winning one. The best way to
do so is to present how the things would turn without your idea being
implemented ASAP.
 Write the importance of the researched topic again - To make your
statement persuasive enough, use loud arguments.
F. Application
 The students will be given an example of an argumentative essay and they
must be able to locate and write down the following: divided into three groups.
They will read, analyze, and identify the statement of position, argument,
and restatement of position on a sample expository material.
1. Hook
2. Background information
3. Thesis Statement
4. Claims and evidences
5. Opponent’s claims
6. Conclusion
  The Group will present their output through a performance of their choice. (Role
play, Talk show, Advertisement, etc.)
