GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE

(Let pupils their share ideas about the given question.

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.)

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 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.

carabao - goat 1liter bottle - 500mL bottle helicopter - airplane

Assign some pupils to serve as post. Each of them will be holding each of the following
adjectives:

big - bigger fragrant more fragrant fast - faster


tall - taller

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.

Say: Listen to my questions.


Ask: Which is bigger? Dog or cat?
Carabao or goat?

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

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?
Which are bigger?
Which is fragrant?

Suggested sentences.
The cat is big but the dog is bigger.
The goat is big but the carabao is bigger.

Or
The cat is big.
The dog is bigger than the cat.

Let us study these sentences.


( Name of pupil) is active. ( Name of pupil) is more active than ( name of pupil).
( Name of pupil) is happy. ( Name of pupil) is happier than ( name of pupil)
Dear Kids, you see these children have something in common. Can you tell us what is it?
They are both responsible, active and obedient. The only difference is that pupil is more
active, more responsible and more obedient.

One person Two persons, places or things compared

Obedientbig More obedientbigger

Attentivefast More attentivefaster

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

Use the same pattern of questions to the remaining sentences.

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

More obedient student


More responsible student

Students
Noisy
Loud
Naughty
Willing to learn
Playful
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.

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.)

Reasons Why People Move to the City

There are many reasons why people move to the city. There are lots of jobs in big

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?

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?

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 from the answers of from their interviewee.

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?

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.

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 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

Monkey Monkey and the cats Monkey and all the


monkeys in the world

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.

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. We wereIt 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.
Ask:
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE

What can you say about the story?


How did it sound?
What did you notice about it?

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.

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.
Ask the children to combine sentences below using the chart provided .

The butterfly shouted. He saw the caterpillar crawling up the


garden wall.
The caterpillar did not listen to the butterflys cry. He knew he can be a butterfly one day.
The caterpillar is wiser than the butterfly. He knew they are the
same.
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHERS GUIDE

First Sentence Use because or when Second Sentence


Ex. The butterfly shouted When He saw the caterpillar
crawling up the garden wall

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.

3. Guided Practice

In small groups, have the class combine the set of dependent and independent clauses below.

Dependent Clause Independent Clause New Sentences


Because Roy brought his We played basketball.
basketball,
After riding our bikes, We played volleyball.
Although it is raining, It is fun to be with friends in
the park.
Before dinner time, I should be home to meet my
cousins who come from the
province.

students revise the story by combining independent and dependent clauses into complex
sentences.

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.
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.

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 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
