Presentation/Introduction
Post the four pictures in random order on the board. Ask pupils to describe what each picture
shows.
Say: Here are pictures showing how our surroundings look like if there is a typhoon. Describe
what you see in the first picture. What typhoon signal do you think can make our surroundings
look like this? Post the strip of paper with Typhoon Signal Number 1.
(Use the same set of question and continue posting the strip of paper) until you reach Typhoon
signal number 4.
Say: While looking at the picture of the surroundings during typhoon signal number 1. Ask:
Why are some branches of trees broken? Wait for the answers and explain that it is because of
Typhoon signal number 1. Typhoon signal number 1 is the CAUSE and some branches of trees
are broken is the EFFECT or RESULT.
Say: While looking at the picture of the surroundings during typhoon signal number 2. Ask:
Why are roofs of some nipa houses gone? Wait for the answers and explain Because it is
Typhoon signal number 2 that is why roofs of nipa houses are gone. Typhoon signal number 2 is
the CAUSE and the roof of nipa houses are gone is the EFFECT.
Say: While looking at the picture of the surroundings during typhoon signal number 3. Ask:

Why are many coconut trees broken and destroyed? Wait for the answers and explain Because
it is Typhoon signal number 3 that is why many coconut trees are broken and destroyed.
Typhoon signal number 3 is the CAUSE and many coconut trees are destroyed is the EFFECT.
Say: While looking at the picture of the surroundings during typhoon signal number 4. Ask:
Why are large trees uprooted? Wait for the answers and explain Because it is Typhoon signal

Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or
restraint.
Show pictures of Philippine heroes. Say: Our heroes are patriotic. They fought for our
country. Singing Lupang Hinirang with respect is a sign that you are patriotic. A person is

A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR MALOU
By: Dinah C. Bonao
Malou came home from school. She was very happy.
You look so happy. Mother noticed. How was school?, she added.
It was fine, Mom. I learned many things in school today. I learned that a flag is a
national symbol. It represents our country, replied Malou.
Yes, the Philippine flag is one of the most beautifully designed flags in the world,
said Mother.
Our flag is made up of three colors. These are blue, red and white with a golden
yellow sun. The sun has eight rays. These stand for the eight provinces that fought for the

freedom of the country. It has also three stars representing the three major islands of the
countryLuzon,Visayas and Mindanao, said Malou.
Father added, We Filipinos should respect our flag. Doing so shows that we love
our country.
Yes! I think Filipinos are the most patriotic people in the world. We are willing to
give up our lives for the Philippines, Mother explained.
Thats right, Father. That is why I make sure that I always show my love for our
country, Malou said proudly.

Motive Question
What do you think will Andy and his classmates feel meeting a monster at school?

During Reading
(Note: Before the reading time begins, the teacher assigns some pupils for the role play of some
story parts.)
The Monster Who Came to School
When Andy got on the bus on the first day of school, he saw a monster! Andy was very
surprised. He did not know that monsters were allowed to go to school. But there the monster
was. It was making all kinds of noise and would not sit down. It climbed on the seats and put
its head out the window. It took up so much room that Andy had no place to sit.
Wow, that monster sure is noisy! Ill bet it isnt even supposed to be here, Andy whispered to
Vicky.
STOP AND ASK: What do you think will the teacher feel when she sees a monster in
school?
But Andys teacher was not at all surprised to see the monster entered the classroom. It pushed
ahead of everyone, grabbed a box of toys, and dumped them on the floor. When Andy and the
other children sat at their places, the monster started to throw the toys.
Stop that! said the teacher. Even monsters are not allowed to throw toys.
The monster dropped the toys and started screaming. It screamed so loudly that no one could
hear the teacher. Be quiet! the teacher finally said.
The monster stopped screaming and the teacher said, Its time to play outside.
STOP AND ASK: What do you think would the monster do?
Everyone stood up and walked to the dooreveryone except the monster. It ran out the door
without waiting for directions.
Outside, the monster continued to behave like a monster. It pushed some children and took toys
from others. It climbed up the slide the wrong way and sat at the top so no one else could slide
down.
When the students returned to the classroom, the teacher tried to read them a story. But the
monster shouted and laughed and no one could hear. Then it pulled the toys off the shelves
again. It would just not listen!
At lunchtime, the monster grabbed other peoples sandwiches. It dropped food on the floor on
purpose and poured its milk on the table. Later, when it was time to paint, the monster ran
around the room painting big, black lines on the other childrens pictures! When the children
formed a circle and tried to sing, the monster jumped around and stepped on their toes. It
pounded on the piano until the teacher had to close it.
At rest time, the monster laughed and talked and poked the children and even pulled their hair.
Come here! said the teacher, who was very angry. You are a real monster! Monsters are not
allowed at school. Go away and never come back!
STOP AND ASK: What do you think will the monster do?

The monster burst into tears! Everyone was astonished. Im sorry! cried the monster. Ive
never been to school before. I didnt know it was against the rules to shout and run and push, or
to grab and throw things. Please dont tell me I cant come back! I will try to learn if you all
will help me.
The teacher asked the children what they thought. The children decided to make a list of rules.
They would let the monster stay---if it followed the rules. The monster worked hard to learn
how to behave, and soon it knew all the rules, just the way all the children did.

Say: Let us look at what we have written about the question: Imagine a school with a monster.
What do you think will happen?
Are your answers similar to what happened in the story? What are your proofs?
How did the monsters behavior change?
Say: This time, at the count of one, two, three, start working with your group mates.

Modeling/Teaching
Say: In order to find the effect, ask what happens next? To find the cause, ask why something
happened?
There are some clue words to identify the cause and effect. These are so, since, because and if.
(Present some sentences with the aforementioned clue words.)
Can we now complete the C and E Chart?
Again, what question would you ask to find the cause? To find the effect?

3.

Guided Practice
Say: At this moment, we are going to work in trios. To deepen our understanding about
identifying cause and effect, we will have this activity called Show-Cause-Effect.Each group
will be given an envelope containing different sentence strips. These strips can either show
cause or an effect. The fastest trio to get the right answers will receive a Thumbs Up Card.
Say: You decide together to get the correct clue words for cause and effect.
(Note: In envelopes, each group should receive 2 pairs of sentence strips. Pupils answers
should be posted in the Cause and Effect Chart.)
Sample sentence strips:
You forget to return a borrowed book from a friend.
She feels hurt and avoids you.

Motivation Question:
Have you been in a city/province? What experiences did you have in the city/province?

3.

Motive Questions:
What are the experiences of the City Mouse in the province?
What are the experiences of the Country Mouse in the city?

During Reading
Say: Listen as I read The Country Mouse and the City Mouse.
During the question and answer part, use gestures and voice dynamics to further help the pupils
know the meaning of some difficult words in the text such as terrible, nibbling, etc. Limit the
responses of the pupils by calling only two in every question.
The Country Mouse and the City Mouse
Adapted
One summer, the Country Mouse invited his friend, the City Mouse, to have dinner at
home. So, the Country Mouse prepared corn and camote for dinner. While eating, the
City Mouse said, You hardly have anything to eat here. Come to the city and I will
show you such rich feast in my place.

STOP AND ASK:


1. Who was invited for dinner?
2. What did the Country Mouse prepare for his friend?
3. Did the City Mouse get satisfied with what his friend offer? Why? Why not?

The Country Mouse was so curious about the city life. So, he decided to go with his
friend.
When they arrived, the Country Mouse looked around the house and he was so
surprised! There were all kinds of food on the table. There were ham, cheese, jellies,
cakes, and fruits. The Country Mouse started nibbling the cheese.
So delicious! I have never tasted anything like this, he said.

STOP AND ASK:


1.
2.

Why did the Country Mouse decide to go to the city?


If you were the Country Mouse, would you stay long in the city? Why?

Suddenly, before the Country Mouse barely took another bite, he heard some
scratching sound. Meow! Meow! the cat said, approaching the dining table.
Run, yelled the City Mouse.
They ran to the corner as fast as they could.

STOP AND ASK:


1. What did the two friends hear?
2. What did they do when they saw the cat?
3. If you were one of the mice, would you also run away from the cat? Why?
What is that? asked the Country Mouse shaking his body.
A cat. Once he gets you, hell eat you up, said the City Mouse.
This is terrible. I think I will go home. Id rather have corn and camote in peace
than sugar and cheese in danger, said the Country Mouse to his friend. So, he went
back to his home with a happy heart.

STOP AND ASK:


1. What did the County Mouse decide to do?
2. What did the Country Mouse mean when he said Id rather have corn and camote in peace
than sugar and cheese in danger?
3. If you were the Country Mouse, would you also decide to leave the city? Why? Why not?
Post Reading

Engagement Activity
How can you help the Country Mouse? Write him a short note of advice.
For the instruction of the activity, refer your pupils to LM Activity 229.

Lesson 22 Day 2: Decoding/Fluency/Writing/Cause and Effect

Skill Lesson: Words and Phrases with Digraph oa


Refer your pupils to LM Activity 230.
1.

Presentation/Introduction

(Note: Present the diagram of events of the story The Country Mouse and The City Mouse.)
Say: Let us go back to the story. What did the Country Mouse decide to do at the beginning of
the story? What were the results of the Country Mouse decision/act?

The Country Mouse got surprised at what


he saw on the table.

The Country Mouse went to the city.

The Country Mouse saw and ate a lot of


different food served on the table.

The Country Mouse together with the


City Mouse were chased by a big cat.

Ask: What are the results or the effects of the Country Mouse visit to the city?
2.

Modeling/Teaching
Let us take a look at the sentences that we formed from the diagram.
a. The Country Mouse decided to visit the city because he was too curious about what
the city looks like.
b. The City Mouse and the Country Mouse ran to the corner of the house so they can
hide from the cat.
c. So that Country Mouse can have peace of mind, he decided to go back to the farm.
Discuss how the clue words (because, so, so that) can help the pupils find out which part of
the sentence tells the cause or the effect.
By simply examining the cause-and-effect diagram above, is it possible for a cause to have
several effects?
Remember:

A cause is why something happens. To find a cause, look for a reason why something
happened.

An effect is what happens because of the cause. To find an effect, look for the results of
the cause.

Usually, a cause always happens first. Then it is followed by the effect.

Clue words such as because, so, and so that are often used to help you understand cause
and effect in a sentence.

3.

Guided Practice

Say: I will read a selection to you. Listen well and complete the diagram of Cause and Effect in
your notebook.
Refer your pupils to L22D2-Worksheet_, LM page_.
(Note: Read the selection aloud.)

Reasons Why People Move to the City


There are many reasons why people move to the city. There are lots of jobs in big
buildings, hospitals, schools, and offices. They move to the city because colorful
lights along its busy streets interest them. People are busy and active. The city is a
place where new things could be found.
4.

Independent Practice
Say: Listen as I read another selection to you. Based on the selection, present a short dialog
showing the cause and several effects.
Refer your class to LM Activity 232.
Things Happen When People Move to the City
Many people move to the city. Everything becomes different. The cities become
crowded; there are so many cars on the streets. Traffic moves slower. Collecting
garbage becomes a bigger problem.

1.

Presentation/Introduction
Post three sentences about Why Things Happen When People Move to the City on the board.
Say: Let us read again some sentences from our paragraph yesterday.

2.

Modeling/Teaching
Point to the first sentence.
Many people move to the city because they can find a better job.
Ask:
How many ideas does the sentence give?
Which tells the first idea?
Which tells the second idea?
Which idea can stand alone?
Which idea cannot stand alone?

What word helps to connect the two ideas?

Say: Let us read the next sentence.


When people move to the city, the place becomes crowded.
Ask:
How many ideas does the sentence give?
Which tells the first idea?
Which tells the second idea?
Which idea can stand alone?
Which idea cannot stand alone?
What word helps to connect the two ideas?
Say: These sentences complex sentences. We combine two simple sentences using conjunctions
to form a complex sentence.
A complex sentence is made up of two parts, an independent clause and a dependent clause
joined by linking words or conjunction.
Words like because, when, after, though, as soon as and so that are examples of conjunctions
that can be used in a complex sentence. These conjunctions make one part of the sentence
subordinate to the other part.
3.

Guided Practice
Let us have a fun activity. Interview anyone in the school about:
What does s/he want to do?
What would happen if s/he continues doing it?
What does she want?

What would happen if s/he


continue doing it?

Ex. Drawing dresses

dolls could have many


clothes

Let the children form complex sentences based on the answers from their interviewee.

different features - a cell phone and a telephone.
Say: I have here a cell phone and a telephone. Let us compare and contrast them.
In what ways are the cell phone and the telephone the same? Let us compare them. (Tack on
the board the word compare.)
(can be used to talk with people away from you)
(can help you communicate with people)
Write the pupils responses at the center space of the Venn diagram.
In what ways are they different? Let us contrast them. (Tack on the board the word contrast.)
(A cell phone can be used in texting while a telephone cannot be used as such.)
(A cell phone is movable while a telephone is stationary.)
Write your students descriptions for the cell phone on the left circle and the descriptions for the
telephone on the right circle.

2.

Modeling/Teaching
What do we show or describe when we compare? (the similarities)
What do we show or describe when we contrast? (the differences)
Say: When we talk about two things, we compare and contrast them. When we compare, we say
the similarities. When we contrast, we tell the differences.
Show your pupils a pencil and a crayon
Say: Look at this pencil and this crayon. Compare them.

3.

Guided Practice
Say: Let me see if you can compare and contrast the two characters in the story that I will read
to you. Complete the Venn diagram in your notebook.
Refer the class to LM Activity 236.
Friendship Bond
For many years, Ali and Leah have been good friends though they differ in many ways.
Ali is a Muslim while Leah is a Christian. Ali goes to the mosque on Fridays and Leah goes to
church on Sundays. Ali is two years older than Leah although she is shorter than Leah. Ali

excels more in Mathematics than Leah though Leah performs better in Arts. Leah loves to eat
food like Adobong Manok. On the other hand, Ali likes to eat fruits and vegetables.
For them, it does not matter how different persons are as long as they understand each other.
This is what makes their friendship last.

The Butterfly and the Caterpillar


an adaptation by Joseph Lauren
One summer morning, a butterfly rested on a beautiful rose. While she sipped the
sweet nectar from the flower, she saw a caterpillar crawl up the garden wall.
Horrors! the butterfly exclaimed, Stop! Dont come near me. Im ashamed to be
seen where you are.
Ask: Why do you think was the butterfly ashamed?
The caterpillar continued crawling. He munched on the leaf without listening to
the butterflys cry.
Where are your wings? What are you eating? the butterfly asked.
Ask: Does the caterpillar have wings?If he has as the butterfly claimed then,where
are they?
The caterpillar walked ahead. Then he said, Eight days ago, young butterfly, you
were the same as I am. One night from today, my wings will grow. I would fly and
see all the bright and beautiful flowers.
Ask: How did the butterfly looks like eight days ago?
Im sure my wings would be brighter and more beautiful than yours.
So, go, fly but try not to be so proud. Each caterpillar is given a chance to
become a butterfly. We are but the same.
Ask: What will happen to caterpillar in the days to come? What should all
butterflies need to remember while flying?

Post Reading
A. Comprehension Check
Say: Let us talk about the story.

1. Who are the characters in the story?


2. When did the story happen?
3. Why was the butterfly ashamed to be seen by the caterpillar?
4. How do you think did the caterpillar feel when the butterfly told him not to come near
it?
5. What was the response of the caterpillar?
6. Can the caterpillar be like a butterfly?
After reading, have the children describe the characters
Butterfly
appearance

Caterpillar

movement
Food they eat

Say: Lets go back to the activity that you answered before we read the story.
From the comparison chart, the children would be able to say that the caterpillar and the
butterfly are different from each other. Let the children find the similarities through the part
of the story:
Eight days ago, young butterfly, you were same as I am. One night from today, my
wings will grow. I would fly and see all the bright and beautiful flowers.

Lesson 23 Day 3: Fluency/Writing/Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives

Skill Lesson: Words, Phrases and Sentences with Digraph ee


Refer your pupils to LM Activity 244.
Skill Lesson: Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives
1.

Presentation/Introduction
(Note: Place three toy monkeys, each one bigger than the other,
in a bag. Let the class describe the monkeys and compare them according to size.)
Ask: What do you know about monkeys? How are they characterized in most stories that you
read?
Say: I will read to you a short story about monkeys. Listen well.
Three clever cats lived in a house. The white cat was big. The black cat is bigger
than the white cat. The striped cat was the biggest of the three.
One day they baked a cake for dinner. I will eat all the cake, said the white cat in a
loud voice.
I will eat it alone, said the black cat in a louder voice.
I will eat it all by myself said the striped cat in the loudest voice.
A clever monkey lived in a tree nearby. He was more clever than the cats. In fact, he
was the most clever monkey in the world. He heard what the cats said and came into their
house. The cats were busy fighting among themselves. They did not see the monkey. The
monkey ate up the whole cake.
At last they stopped fighting. Wheres the cake? they said. It ran away because
you made too much noise, said the monkey.

2.

Modeling/Teaching
Using the charts below lead the class in answering the following questions.
Ask: What are the adjectives used to compare the three cats?
Three cats

White cat

Black cat

Striped cat

Their voice

What adjective is used to compare the monkey and the cats? What adjective is used to
compare the monkey with all monkeys in the world?

Monkey

POSITIVE

Monkey and the cats

COMPARATIVE

Monkey and all the


monkeys in the world

SUPERLATIVE

After the children give their answers, write on the orange box POSITIVE, on the green box
COMPARATIVE and on the red box SUPERLATIVE . Then, ask the children what were
added to form the comparative and superlative forms and how many were being compared.
Say: Comparing using adjectives has three degrees. These are the positive, comparative, and
superlative degrees. We use adjectives in the positive degree if we are describing only one
thing or person. We say Ann is tall. We use adjectives in the comparative degree if we are
describing two objects or persons. We say The monkey was more clever than the cats. We use
adjectives in the superlative degree if we are describing three or more things and person. We
say In fact, he was the most clever monkey in the world.
For comparative degree of adjective, we add er at the end of some adjectives. We can also add
more before some adjectives. In sentences using this degree of comparison, we use the word
than.
For superlative degree of adjective, we add est at the end of some adjectives. We can also add
most before some adjectives. In sentences using this degree of comparison, we use the word
of all.
3.

Guided Practice
Group students into fours and let them think of adjectives and its degrees of comparison. After
the given time, group presentation follows. Any group who has the same adjective with other
group should cross it out. The group with the most remaining list, wins.
POSITIVE

COMPARATIVE

SUPERLATIVE

Challenge them to write at least 2 or 3 sentences using the comparative and superlative form of
each adjective.

Lesson 23 Day 4: Writing/Complex Sentences


Skill Lesson: Complex Sentences
1.

Presentation/Introduction
Read the story A Day at the Park to students
Say: Today, I am going to read to you a short story. Listen well because I will ask a few
questions about it.
A Day at the Park
I went to the park. I went on Saturday. I went with my friends. My friends are
Marie, Connie, and Roy. We rode our bikes. I rode my new bike. Roy brought his
basketball. We played basketball. We played for two hours. It was hot. We were
thirsty. Connie and Roys mom brought us lemonade and sandwiches. We ate them for
lunch. We had a lot of fun.
Explain to the students that, many times, weak stories are full of very short, choppy sentences.
One way writers can make these stories stronger is to combine short sentences into longer
sentences.

2.

Modeling/Teaching
Let us compare some group of words from the story.
I went to the park. It is Saturday
I went to the park because it is Saturday.
We combined the two simple sentences. Now, we have I went to the park as the independent
clause. It expresses a complete thought. Because it is Saturday is a dependent clause. It does
not express complete thought. The marker because suggest that because it is Saturday is a
dependent clause.
To combine the two simple sentences we used the marker because.

Say: A clause can be dependent because of the presence of a:

Marker Word (Before, after, because, since, in order to, although, though, whenever,
wherever, whether, while, even though, even if)
Conjunction (And, or, nor, but, yet)

Let us have the next group of words.


We played basketball. We played for two hours. It is hot.
The new sentence is: We played basketball for two hours even if its hot.

How did we do it? We combined the three sentences. Now, we have an independent clause
We played basketball for two hours and dependent clause even if its hot. The marker
even if tell us that even if its hot is a dependent clause.
Let us have the next independent and dependent clauses.
Connie and Roys mom brought us lemonade and sandwiches. We ate them for lunch.
The new sentence is: Connie and Roys mom brought us lemonade that we ate for lunch.
How did we do it? What words were omitted? What word did we use to combine the two
sentences?
3.

Guided Practice
In small groups, have the class combine the set of dependent and independent clauses below.
Dependent Clause
Because Roy brought his
basketball,
After riding our bikes,
Although it is raining,
Before dinner time,

4.

Independent Clause
We played basketball.

New Sentences

We played volleyball.
It is fun to be with friends in
the park.
I should be home to meet my
cousins who come from the
province.

Independent Practice
Have students find complex sentences in the books they are reading. Have them copy them in
their notebook. Have them separate the two clauses in each sentence.

Teacher reads aloud the story Two Friends, One World (Franciscas Story)
Two Friends, One World
Franciscas Story
by Ramon C. Sunico and Joanne de leon
I have a friend who lives in another world. His name is Antonio. The world he lives
in is full of sounds and smells and tastes and feeling.
My world is also full of sounds and smells and tastes and feeling, but sometimes, I
am too busy seeing to notice these other things.
Every Saturday afternoon, as the sun is about to go down, his mama brings him to
the park where I am already waiting. I can see him from far away because, Papa
says, I have such big eyes.
I run to him and take his hand and his Mama lets us walk around. Antonio teaches
me to be quiet- so quiet I can hear the wind talk to the leaves, so quiet I can feel the
air turn cooler as the sun leaves the sky.

Antonio cannot see. He cannot see but he can smell the white flowers of the rosal
bush growing beside the broken wall of an old church behind the park before I can
even come close enough to see the church. He knows when papa has brought
mangoes for us to eat, even when these are still in the basket.
One day, he showed me my first grasshopper. I was trying to tell him what a
mountain looked like when he said suddenly, Shh Francisca, listen! There is
something moving in the grass.
Where, where? I cant see anything! I complained.
Ay naku. Francisca, quiet or youll scare it away. Look with your ears first and
then with your eyes. Try to listen to yourself breathe and all the other sounds will
follow.
And sure enough, I heard something small moving the dried grass aside. I followed
the sound, first with my ears and then with my eyes. Slowly, very slowly. And when
I could only hear Antonio and me breathing, I saw the grasshopper-all green and
pointed, with red stripe down its back.
And I thanked Antonio for showing me how to find the place where the
grasshoppers hide.
And he smiled the same smile he smiles after tasting a cool, ripe mango.
One day, I will tell him that, maybe, we do not live in two worlds.
After all, we meet every Saturday afternoon. What I can see, he can hear or taste or
smell or touch. What he cannot see, I can bring to him with words.
One day, we will meet one Saturday afternoon and I will tell him that, maybe there
is only one world. But it is so big and beautiful and there are so many things going
on inside it, that it takes two friends to enjoy its sweetness like a great, cool, sweet,
smooth, golden-yellow mango.

Mateos Favorite Clothes


One Saturday afternoon, Mateo found his Mother getting old clothes from his cabinet.
What are you doing, Mama? Mateo asked.
Im taking your old clothes to the evacuation center. Many children lost their clothes because
of the typhoon, Mother explained to him.

But wait, Mom! They still fit me. Look, Mateo said after fitting on his old red shirt.
Grandma gave this to me. Its my favorite, Mateo added.
Mateo tried putting on his old jacket, pairs of pants and slippers. They still fit me. Mateo
remembered who gave them and when he received those items.
Oh did I grow so much? I love these clothes. Mateo told his mother.
Ok, you can take them back, Mother told Mateo.
So Mateo got the box with his old shirt, jacket, pants and slippers in it.
The next day Mother asked Mateo where the box was. She hoped that Mateo would change
his mind.
Mama, the box was gone. I wasnt able to take it to the evacuation center, Mateo said.
Oh, what happened? Mother asked. On my way to the evacuation center, I found a child
who really needed some clothes. I gave the box to him, Mateo said.

SUPER RR
By: Jelly Sore

That Sunday night, Mateo had a dream. He dreamed about Rocky, the boy to whom he
gave a box of clothes. When Rocky wore Mateos old red shirt, Rocky transformed into a
superhero. Super RR, short for Super Red Rocky was on his shirt. He had a pair of red pants, a
golden cap and a golden cape. He flew on top of a golden mountain and looked at the village
with his pair of red eyeglass. There was a flood. He saw people on top of their houses. They
were asking for help. Super RR took off his pair of golden shoes and changed them in to two
shiny red boats. In a few minutes, he reached the village and saved hundreds of people. Mateo
was one of them. Just then, Mateos clock rang. Mateo opened his eyes. It was already a bright
Monday morning.

Group the pupils into two groups.


Tell them that they will do the Message Relay.
Here is how to do it:

Each group will choose a leader and a secretary.


The leader will ask his group member to fall in line.
The secretary will stay in front to write whatever the last child on the line will tell him
or her.
The teacher will ask the leader of each group to get a piece of paper with the same
number. They will determine whether the characters or setting written on it is reality or
fantasy. Each group leader will whisper the answer to the next pupil on the line and so
on. The last child will run up front and he/she will whisper the answer to the secretary.
Then, she will write it on the board.
The child who whispers the answer to the secretary will take a seat.
The relay will continue until all pieces of paper are drawn in the box.
The group with the highest number of correct responses will be the winner.

Use the character and setting of stories which are familiar to the pupils or the characters and
setting of stories from their previous lessons.

After two hours, Trina woke up feeling hot. When she opened her eyes, she saw that
their house was on fire.

What happened after two hours?


What did Trina see? What do you think, will she do?
She immediately got up, grabbed the youngest brother and ran out of the
house. Trina suffered from major burns but her brother wasnt hurt. She tried to get

Trina could not just stare at their burning house while she knew
her two other brothers were there. She turned as swift as she could and
lo! An aluminum basin dropped where she stood and said Come Trina,
we will help your brothers.
Trina hopped on to the basin and flew fast to their burning
house. The people were in panic that no one ever noticed Trina and the
flying basin. After a couple of minutes, Trina was back riding in the
flying basin with her two brothers free from any burn.
