Our lesson for today is about

Distinguishing text-types
according to purpose –
to recall a series of events
or information
 At the end of our lesson, you
should be able to know how to
recall a series of events or
information.

THE COW’S FOUR STOMACHS
A cow has four stomachs! It may sound
unbelievable but it is true. A cow does not
have an ordinary digestive system. These
animals do not have upper front teeth. They
eat grass by wrapping their tongue around it
and pulling it from the ground. They have
back teeth but they cannot chew the grass
properly.
 Cows swallow grass without chewing it
up. When it is swallowed, the grass goes
into the cow’s first stomach called the
rumen. In the rumen, grass is broken up by
some digestive juices and forms it into a
ball. The ball of grass is called a cud. The
cow brings back the cud into his mouth.
Then the cow chews the cud into a pulp
with its back teeth and re-swallows it.
 After the cud is swallowed the second
time, it goes into the cow’s second stomach
called the reticulum. The reticulum filters
the food and takes out small stones or any
non-food matter. Then the food goes into
the cow’s third stomach called omasum.
The orsum further filters the food. Any
undigested food is sent back to the rumen.
Then the cow chews it some more.
 The digested food from the omasum
goes into the abomasum, the cow’s
fourth stomach. Finally, the digested food
is distributed to the cow’s body for the
needed nutrients.
Number in order the stages in digesting
the cow’s food.
___ a. The cow chews the cud into pulp
with its back teeth and re-swallow it.
___ b. The reticulum takes out any non-
food matter in the pulp.
___ c. The unchewed grass is broken up
by the digestive juices and forms into a
ball.
___ d. The cow eats grass by wrapping its
tongue around it and pulling it from the
ground.
___ e. Any undigested food is sent back
to the rumen so it can be sent back to the
mouth and further chewed.
___ f. Then it swallows the grass without
chewing it and sends it to the rumen.
___ g. The cow brings back the cud into its
mouth.
___ h. After the pulp is re-swallowed it goes to
the reticulum.
___ i. The digested food in the reticulum is
sent to the omasum.
___ j. Finally, the digested food is distributed
to the cow’s body for the needed nutrients.
Remember:
Events arranged in order help us in different
ways.
• It is easier to understand a story, remember it,
and tell it again if it is in order.
• The order in which things happen is called
sequence.
• Sequencing ideas can help us remember things
more easily.
Read the information below. Sequence the
events by writing numbers 1 - 4 on the lines
according to how it happened in the story.
Did you know that every drop of water
makes a journey? The journey is called the
water cycle. When water on the ground (like
in a puddle, lake or ocean) is heated by the
sun, the water changes into gas, called water
vapor.
 The water vapor rises up into the sky and
then becomes part of the cloud. Wind carries
the cloud across the sky. Water droplets begin
to fall from the sky as rain, falling into
puddles, lakes and oceans on the ground.
Group 1:
Read the information below and sequence the
events by writing numbers 1 - 4 on the blank
according to how they happened in the story.
____ Wind carries the water in clouds.
____ Water is heated by the sun and forms water
vapor.
____ Raindrops fall from the sky.
____ Water vapor rises into the sky.
Group 2:
Read the information below and sequence the events by
using a sequence map.
Wind carries the water in clouds.
Water is heated by the sun and forms water vapor.
Raindrops fall from the sky.
Water vapor rises into the sky.
Group 3:
Read the information below and sequence the events by
using a graphic organizer.
Wind carries the water in clouds.
Water is heated by the sun and forms water vapor.
Raindrops fall from the sky.
Water vapor rises into the sky.
What have you learned in today’s lesson?
Events arranged in order help us in different ways.

It is easier to understand a story, remember it, and

tell it again if it is in order.
The order in which things happen is called
sequence. Sequencing ideas can help us remember
things more easily.
Read the short stories below. Sequence the events by writing 1 – 5.

Pia got off the train. Tita Susan ran over and gave her a
big hug. “I’m so glad you could spend the day with me
here in Manila,” Tita Susan said, smiling. Pia and Tita
Susan left the train station and walked to the aquarium.
After looking at all the sea creatures and watching the
dolphin-lion show, they headed to the mall for lunch
and shopping. By five o’clock, it was time for Pia’s
two-hour train ride home. “I had great fun. Thanks for
spending the day with me,” said Pia as she got on the
train.
 ____ Pia and Tita Susan went to the
aquarium.
____ Pia’s train arrived in Manila.
____ Pia took the train home.
____ Pia and Tita Susan went to the mall.
____ Pia and Tita Susan looking at all the

Thank you for listening.
God bless you all!
