Lesson Proper Presentation:

Teacher presents Jacob’s diary on February 10, 2024.

Last February 10, 2024, our family went to Cebu Safari. We left home at exactly 4:00 in the morning and
arrived there at 7:40 in the morning. The trip was tiring but seeing the different animals energized me. It
was my first time to see a lion and a tiger. They have sharp teeth and big claws. I think they were
huggable though they looked angry. Then we moved to the crocodiles! There were lots of them! Some
crocodiles were on land, some on water. I was thinking that if I ever fall off from that steel bridge, I will
never come up alive. Afterwards, we grabbed some ice cream and went to the Bird Show. A parrot
sang a Happy Birthday song. I believe the parrot was everyone’s favorite. Another set of birds solved
Math! I really enjoyed in Cebu Safari. For me, that was the best day ever.

Comprehension questions:
1. Where did Jacob and his family go last February 10?
2. At what time did Jacob’s family leave home on that day?
Math Integration: Using a clock model: Can somebody move the short hand and the long hand to show
the time 4:00?
What kind of angle is formed when the clock tells 4:00?
3. What time did the family arrive at Cebu Safari?
Numeracy: If Jacob’s family left home at 4:00 and arrived at 7:40, how long did they travel? Who can
solve the elapsed time?
Developing HOTS:
4. What kind of place is Cebu Safari? Why do you say it is a zoo?
5. What animals did Jacob see in the zoo?
6. What animal does Jacob think was everyone’s favorite?
The
sentence flashes on the screen: Jacob thinks that the parrot was everyone’s favorite.
Is this a fact or an opinion? Let us know first the definition of fact and opinion.
The teacher discusses the lesson using the PowerPoint presentation.

Facts are statements that tell what happened or sentences that can be proven true.
Sample signal words and phrases being used in the sentence fragments that often precede a fact
statement are:
The report shows and confirms
Scientists have recently discovered..
According to the result….
The investigation demonstrated …
Verified …
As per record…

An opinion refers to a personal belief. It relates to how someone feels or views about something.
Others may agree or disagree with an opinion, but they cannot prove or disprove it.

In my opinion…. My favorite...
I think … I am confident that…
I feel… The best/ better/ worst…
I strongly believe… It is his point of view…
Many scientist suspects that…
From my point of view…

Filipino Integration: In Filipino, Fact is katotohanan. Opinion is opinyon.

Ang Katotohanan ay mga pahayag na maaaring mapatunayan. Ang Opinyon ay pahayag na nagsasaad
ng sariling ideya o damdamin tungkol sa isang bagay.

Going back to the sentence, “I think that the parrot was everyone’s favorite, ” is this a fact or an opinion?
What made you say it is an opinion?

I have here more sentences taken from Jacob’s diary. Let us tell if each is a fact or opinion.

1. Last March 30, 2024, our family went to Cebu Safari.

2. Lions and tigers have sharp teeth and big claws.
3. I think they were huggable though they looked angry.
4. Some crocodiles were on land, some on water.
Science integration: Why do you think were some crocodiles on land? And some were on
water? Can crocodiles live both on land and on water?
5. A parrot sang a Happy Birthday song.
6. For me, that was the best day ever.

Generalization:
What is a fact?
What is an opinion?
What is the difference between facts and opinions?
How should we deal with other person’s opinions?
Developing HOTS : Is it important for someone to be able to distinguish fact from opinion?
Why do you say so?
