D. MOTIVATION

To start the lesson, I will ask students to bring in a sample of their own
writing. We will then discuss as a class the importance of coherence and
cohesion in effective communication and how it impacts the clarity and
organization of their writing.

 Have you ever read a paragraph that didn't have cohesion and
coherence in a given text, and demonstrated the skills in their
own writing?

IV. Procedures:
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY LEARNERS’ ACTIVITY

Procedure: Students’ will complete the K-W-L Chart

1. Introduction to the topic below:
and learning objectives
2. Discussion of the
importance of coherence and

cohesion in effective
communication
3. Presentation of elements
of coherence and cohesion
4. Analysis of samples of
well-written pieces
5. Practice exercises on
coherence and cohesion
6. Application of elements of
coherence and cohesion in
writing a short paragraph
7. Class discussion and
feedback

I. Coherence:
- Definition: Refers to the
clarity and logical connection
of ideas and arguments in a
text
- Example: A well-organized
essay with a clear thesis
statement, well-developed
body paragraphs, and a
conclusion that effectively
ties everything together.
II. Cohesion:
- Definition: Refers to how
well the different parts of a
text are connected together
through the use of
transitional words, phrases,
and sentences.
- Example: Using transitional
words such as "furthermore,"
"additionally," and "in
addition" to connect ideas in
a paragraph.
1. Read a given text together as a class and
identify examples of coherence and cohesion
in the text.
2. Students will work individually or in pairs to
write a paragraph about any topic they
choose. They will then self-evaluate the
coherence and cohesion in their writing using
a checklist.
3. Students will work in pairs or small groups
discussing how to improve the coherence and
cohesion of each other’s writing.
4. Using a word bank provided by the teacher,
students will create a paragraph that has
proper coherence and cohesion.
Conclusion: Students will be able to
distinguish between coherence and cohesion
in a text and will be able to apply this
knowledge in their writing

 V. Application:

Activating Prior Knowledge: The teacher will ask students to

provide examples of text they have read where they noticed
coherence and cohesion. The teacher will then provide a
working definition of coherence and cohesion.

Students’ possible answers:

Coherence and cohesion are two important properties of a well-written
text. Coherence refers to the logical and consistent flow of ideas in a
text. A coherent text is one where the ideas are arranged in a logical
order, and each idea is connected to the previous one in a way that
makes sense. A text that lacks coherence can be confusing and difficult
to follow.

Cohesion, on the other hand, refers to the use of linguistic devices to

connect ideas and create a seamless flow in a text. Cohesion is
achieved through the use of transitional words and phrases, repetition,
pronouns, and other linguistic devices that help to connect ideas and
create a sense of unity in the text. A text that lacks cohesion can feel
disjointed and difficult to read.

Together, coherence and cohesion help to create a well-written text that

is clear, organized, and easy to understand. By understanding these two
properties and applying them in their writing, students can improve the
quality of their work and communicate their ideas more effectively.

VI. GENERALIZATION

VII. Assessment:
Assessment: The teacher will assess students' understanding
through written responses to a given text, classroom
discussions, and written assignments in which students will
demonstrate their understanding of coherence and cohesion in
their own writing.
Assessment Questions:
1. How can transitional words and phrases improve the coherence and
cohesion of a text?
Answer: Transitional words and phrases can improve the coherence and
cohesion of a text by creating a smooth flow of ideas and connections
between them.

2. Why is it important to have coherence and cohesion in a text?

Answer: It is important to have coherence and cohesion in a text
because it helps to create a clear and organized message that is easy to
understand.
