As partners share ideas about the question: Imagine a school with a monster. What do you think
will happen? , pPost and use Detective Sinegata Chart for the pupils responses. Let pupils
ideas freely flow.)
3. 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.)
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 thewill the teacher will feel when she sees seeing a
monster at 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!
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE
At lunchtime, the monster grabbed other peoples sandwiches. It dropped food in 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 happen to 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.

Assign some pupils to serve as post. Each of them will be holding each of the following
adjectives:
Say: I will be giving you names/pictures of some objects or things, and animals. While
holding it, think how these objects/animals are different from each other.
Ask the pupils holding the pair of adjectives to go in front of the class one after the other.
Ask the children holding the animals to go to the right post: big or bigger.
Do the same with the remaining pair of adjectives.Can we read this? How is it related to our
exciting activity today? Any guess?
We will do the I-STAND-LINE Two lines showing I am and I am more. How would we do it?
I will say the rule and see if you feel you are obedient and more obedient; punctual or more
punctual; active or more active ;attentive or more attentive; responsible or more responsible,
then stand to that line.
2. Modeling/Teaching

Say: I see ( name of pupils) standing in Line 1: I am obedient to rule number 1 however I
observe that (name of pupil) standing in Line 2: I am more obedient to rule number 1.
Let us take a close look at this observation.
1. Kimberly is obedient .
How many persons are involved in sentence number 1? Who is she? Who is obedient?
2. Carlo is more obedient than Kimberly.
How many persons are involved in sentence number 2? Who are they? Who is more
obedient?
Which are big?

The goat is big but the carabao is bigger.
Or
The cat is big.
The dog is bigger than the cat.
Happytall Happiertaller
Ask:
How many animal is being described in the sentence the cat is big?
What adjective was used to describe the cat?
How many animals are being compared in the sentence, the dog is bigger than the cat?
What adjective was used to compare the dog with the cat? (bigger)
What happened to the adjective big when we use it to compare two animals?
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE
What word do we add before the adjective if two persons are being compared? Example: Cindy is
happy. Lea is happier than Cindy. Encourage pupils responses to deepen their understanding in
making comparisons of adjectives. Sentence examples should be from the pupils themselves.
3. Guided Practice
Let your pupils form dyads. Each pair will be given description strip.
Refer pupils to Activity 220.
Refer your pupils to L21D3-Worksheet_:, LM page_.
Say: You will decide which description is for Andy and for the Monster. If you think that the
description is for both Andy and the monster, then post the description at the middle of the two
overlapping circles.
Andy Monster
Students

Say: Again, Andy and monster are both students. However, Andy is more obedient and
responsible student than the monster. Why do you think?
You see when we compare two persons, animals or objects, we can spot their similarities and
differences.
4. Independent Practice
Refer pupils to Activity 221.
This time, partners will do the Spot the difference and similarities by citing three descriptions
for themselves and classmates.
1. Presentation/Introduction

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.
Suddenly, before the Country Mouse barely took another bite, he heard some scratching
sound. Meow! Meow! the cat said, approaching the dining table.
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.

1. Engagement Activity
How can you help the Country Mouse? Write him a short note of advice.
For the instruction of the activity, Refer refer your pupils to LM Activity 229.22D1-
Worksheet_, LM, page_.
(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?
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 chart 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 that why something
happened.
An effect is what happens because of the cause. To find an effect, look for something that
happened.the results of the cause.
Usually, a cause always happens first. T, then it will beis followed by an 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 to you a selection to you. Listen well and complete the diagram of Cause and
Effect on in your notebook.
Refer your pupils to L22D2-Worksheet_, LM page_.
(Note: Read the selection aloud.)
There are many reasons why people move to the city. There are lots of jobs in big
buildings, hospitals, schools, and offices, . They move in to the city because
colorful lights along its busy streets interest them. People are busyier and more
active. because they work harder. The cCity 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.
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE
Many people move in 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 and 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:
Who How many ideas does the sentence give?
Which tells the first idea?
Which tells the second idea?
Which idea can stand alone for meaning?
Which idea cannot stand alone for meaning?
What word helps to connect the two ideas?
Ask:
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE
Say: This These sentences is called 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 calause 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:
1. What does s/he want to do?
3. What would happen if s/he continues doing it?
Let the children form complex sentences based on from the answers of from their interviewee.
1. She wants to draw dresses so that her dolls could have many clothes.
Guide the children in forming complex sentences especially in the use of conjunctions.
4. Independent Practice
Write on the board some of their answers for discussion, label the parts of the sentence.
Based from the interview conducted, let us now write a short three-sentence paragraph with
complex sentences. Refer the class to LM Activity 234.

3. Motive Question:
Today, our story is about a butterfly and a caterpillar. Find out in the story their similarities and
differences.
During Reading:
Say: Listen to the story that I will read to you. Be sure to find out the similarities and
differences of the two characters.
In between readings, ask the children to act out the following scenes:
Paragraph 1-2:
The butterfly saw the caterpillar and it was so ashamed to be seen with the caterpillar
Paragraph 4:
The butterfly saw a very different creature.
Paragraph 5:
The caterpillar told the butterfly how they were the same a week ago.
Paragraph 6:
The caterpillar told the butterfly to go, fly but not to be proud.
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 the butterfly 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 have 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 do did the butterfly looks like eight days ago?
Ask: what What will happen to caterpillar in the days to come? What should all
butterflies need to remember while flying?

Making Inferences
Say: I will read a story about Melissa. Infer what kind of person Melissa is. Write it in your
notebook.
Melissa sat on the window. She was starring at a small bird outside. The bird kept chirping
and hopping around in the bushes.
This chirping and hopping made the tip of Melissas tail twist and turn
The rest of her kept still. If the window had not been in the way, Melissa would have jumped
right out with the bird.
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.)
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 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 t them 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?
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE
POSITIVE
COMPARATIVE
SUPERLATIVE
After the children gave 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 with using adjectives has three degrees. They 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 say Sam is taller than Ann. 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.Tom is the tallest among them.
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.
Challenge them to write at least 2 or 3 sentences using the comparative and superlative form of
each adjective.
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE
Rewrite each sentence using either the comparative or superlative form of the adjective on your
notebook.
4. Independent Practice
Refer your pupils to LM Activity 247.
A. Group students into four and let them think of adjectives and its degrees of comparison as
many as they can. After the given time, group presentation follows. Any group who has the

GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE
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 learn how to combine short sentences into
longer sentences.
2. Modeling/Teaching
Let us compare some group of words from the story.
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.
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)
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.
Connie and Roys mom brought us lemonade and sandwiches. We ate them for lunch.
Ask the children to combine sentences below using the chart provided .
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?
Ask: How many sentences were combined? What combine the sentences together? Did the sentences
sound better than when they are apart?
Explain to the children that when we combine independent and dependent clauses together we form
a complex sentence.)
Say: When we combine independent and dependent clauses together we form a complex sentence.

During Reading
Note: Before and while reading, lead the class in making inferences. inferring the whereabouts
of the story
Teacher reads aloud the story Two Friends, One World (Franciscas Story)
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.
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.
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE
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.

golden cap and a golden cape. He flew a 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 to 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
