Reading of the Poem
Before we read the poem, you have learned in English class the proper
ways of reciting poems. We must read it with the correct tone,
expression and proper emotion. Read the poem and answer the questions
that follow.
Vertebrates
Have you ever seen, animals that swim?
They have gills, fins, and scales
Spotted in the sea, oceans, and rivers
These are fish like tilapia, swordfish, and milkfish.
Have you ever seen animals that crawl?
They have dry-scaly skin just like snakes, lizards, and turtles
Some have four legs, others have none
These are reptiles hatched from eggs.
Have you ever seen four-legged animals that hop and jump?
They have fur, some have hairs, others have skin
They give birth, feed their young with their mammary glands
They are mammals like dogs, cats, and goats.
Have you ever seen animals that fly? They have wings, beak, and claws
Living in trees and forests, building their nests in trunks
They are birds like parrots, owls, and doves
Have you ever seen animals that croak?
They have smooth scaly skin living on land and in water
They love to hop and eat insects at night
These are amphibians just like salamanders, toads, and frogs.

D. Discussing new concepts and EXPLAIN

practicing new skills #1. Discussion:

Animals found in the locality are classified into vertebrates and

invertebrates. Vertebrates are animals with backbones that give shape
and support their body. Bones are a predominant feature in the body of
vertebral animals that serve as protection of their internal organs. The
presence of bones in the animal’s body helps the animals to walk, jump,
crawl, and swim.

Animals can be oviparous and viviparous. Viviparous are animals that

are born alive by their parents such as dogs, carabao, and cats, while
oviparous animals are those that are hatched from egg such as chicken,
duck, and snake.

Animals are group into the following:

Mammals
Mammals are warm- blooded animals that are born alive or viviparous.
They have hair or fur as their body covering and mammary gland to feed
their young with their milk.

Fish
Fish are cold-blooded animals covered with scales. They have tails and
fins that help them swim. They are animals hatched from eggs and
breathe through their gills.

Birds
Birds are warm-blooded animals hatched from eggs or oviparous. They
have a pair of limbs for hopping and a pair of wings used in flying.
There are birds who have wings but can’t fly. A beak or bill is used in
getting food as well as for protecting themselves from their enemies.

Amphibians
Amphibians are cold-blooded animals hatched from eggs. They spend
part of their lives in water and part on land. They have moist and
scaleless skin. Some examples are salamander, newt, toad and caecilian.

Reptiles
Reptiles are cold-blooded vertebrates hatched from eggs. They have dry
scaly skin, and some have shells. Some examples are turtles, chameleon,
snake, lizard, and gecko.
