E. Comprehension Skill
Making Inference is a process of figuring out what the author doesn’t tell us using story
information and what we already know. It involves giving clues or hints to make an educated guess
about what is not written. It is also based on experiences, observation and learning situation.
We can make inferences with the help of clues given in a scenario.

reward.

C. Development of the New Lesson

1. Motivation

The teacher asks a question, “What are the qualities of a true friend?”

2. Articulation of Purpose, Learning Outcome and Objectives

No man is an island. Therefore, we can’t live alone. We need each other.

As an intelligent FCPCians, we should always model camaraderie by having mutual trust

and friendship among people and demonstrate deep understanding to different parts of speech
in order to compose clear and coherent compositions with the help of appropriate grammatical
structure and manifest collaboration and nationalism among Filipinos by eliminating divisions
regardless of religions, culture etc. as stated in the Learning Outcome number 2.
 That is why at the end of today’s lesson, I do expect that all of you should be able to
analyze how to make inferences using clues in a given scenario, appreciate the importance of
camaraderie and loyalty in dealing with other people; and show spirit of good friendship and
loyalty among others through group enrichment creative activity.
