e. Review:

“What was our topic yesterday?”

“Our topic yesterday was about the
effects of typhoon.”
“What are the effects of typhoon?”

(Pupils will give various answers like;

*Typhoon can destroy buildings and

“Very well said! What are the things
you need to prepare in case there is a
typhoon?”
houses
*Typhoons can also affect the natural
environment, and cause harm to trees
and other vegetation, including crops
that communities may rely on for
sustenance or trade, or both.)
(Pupils will give various answers like;

*In case there is a typhoon we need to

prepare our First Aid kits, Extra
batteries for flashlights and mobile
phones, Store food, Packed clothes in
case of evacuation and a clean and safe
drinking water.)
“Very Good!”

Unlocking of difficulties

Kph – Kilometers per hour

PAGASA- Philippine Atmospheric,
Geophysical and Astronomical Service
Administration

“Before we proceed to our next topic

let me check first if you are familiar
with some terms that I will post on the
board.”

(Teacher will post ‘Kph’)

(Pupil will raise his hand; “Kph stands
for Kilometers per hour.)

“Correct!”

(Teacher will post PAGASA)

(Pupil will raise his hand; “PAGASA
stands for Philippine Atmospheric,
Geophysical and Astronomical Service
Administration.”)
“Excellent!”

f. Motivation

“Do you always watch the news or listen

to a radio broadcast whenever there’s a
typhoon?”
“Yes ma’am!”
“Great, if that so, I assume that you’ve
heard of storm signals?”
“Yes ma’am!”
“So what are the storm signals?”
“The storm signals are; signal number
one, storm signal number two, storm
signal number three, storm signal
number four and storm signal number
five.”
“Very good! now I will show you pictures
of places affected by different
typhoons, I want you to describe what
you see on the picture and try to guess
the signal that was raised. Are you
ready?”
“Yes ma’am!”
(teacher will show this picture)

(Pupil will raise hand and say;

“On the picture some trees were

(Teacher will reveal if the guess of the
pupil is correct.)
uprooted from the ground also lots of
leaves are scattered. It looks like the
wind during that time was really strong
but I’m guessing that the signal for that
place is Signal 1.”)

“Great job! this place is in Isabela

Cagayan. Their place was affected with
typhoon Lawin.”

(Teacher will show the second picture.)

(Pupil will raise his hand and say;

 “On the picture there are banana tress
uprooted on the ground. I think it’s in
signal 2.”)
“Correct! This picture shows the signal
number 2 of typhoon Lando in a
particular area in the Philippines.”

(Teacher will show the next picture)

(Pupil will raise his hand and say;

“Based on the picture some light posts
are down and there are uprooted trees.
I’m guessing that it’s in signal 3.”)
“Great observation and you are correct!
Now I will show you another picture.”

(Pupil will raise his hand and say;

“Based on the picture there are a lot of

damages like even houses made of
concrete are seriously damaged. It’s in
signal 4.”)
“Very good! this photo shows the
damage that was made by Typhoon
Yolanda in Tacloban City. It is the
strongest typhoon that hit the
Philippines.”

“Great job!”
(Pupils are listening)
(Teacher will show the last picture.)

“The place looks very devastating, there

are no houses seen on the picture and all
of the trees are uprooted. I guess it’s in
signal number five.”
“Correct! So far Philippines has not yet
experienced a typhoon signal number
five.”
g. Presentation

“Our lesson for today is all about

Describing the Effects of the winds,
given a certain storm warning signal.”

“Look at the chart posted on the board,
try to analyze the data presented.”
(Pupils will analyze the chart.)

“Why do we have storm signals?”

“Storm signals warns us on how strong
the typhoon that will come in a specific
place.”
“Very good! when PAGASA raised storm
signal no. 1 in an area, what does it
“It indicates that winds of 30-60 kph
indicate?”
is expected in that area and Irregular
rains may be expected in at least 36
hours.”
“Very good! what would be the impact
of the wind?”
“No damage to very light damage.”

“How about when signal number two is

raised? What does it indicate?”
“If signal number two is raised it
indicates Winds of greater than 60 kph
and up to 100 kph may be expected in
at least 24 hours.”

“Correct! What would be the impact of

the wind?” “Light to moderate damage to the
exposed communities, it means Some
coconut trees may tilt; some of them
may break, few big trees may be
uprooted, many banana plants may be
downed and old galvanized iron roofing
may be peeled off. “
“Very well said! How about in signal
number three? What does it indicate?”
“Very good! what is the impact of the
wind?”
“Very well said! In an instance, Signal
number four is raised what does it
indicate? Is it different from the first
three signals?”
“Excellent! What is it’s wind impact?”
“Great explanation! As what I have said
earlier PAGASA has modified the
storm signals and added signal number
five. When signal number five is raise
in an area what does it imply?”
“Winds of greater than 100 kph up to
185 kph may be expected in at least 18
hours.”
“Many coconut trees may be broken or
destroyed.
Almost all banana plants may be downed
and a large number of trees may be
uprooted.
Rice and corn crops may suffer heavy
losses.
Majority of light material houses may
be unroofed or destroyed. There may
be considerable damage to structures
of light to medium construction.
There may be widespread disruption of
electrical power and communication
services.
In general, moderate to heavy damage
may be experienced, particularly in the
agricultural and industrial sectors.”
“In signal number four the typhoon has
a very strong winds of more than 185
kph may be expected in at least 12
hours. It is different from the first
three typhoons because it has a
stronger wind impact.”
“Coconut plantations may suffer
extensive damage, many large trees
may be uprooted,
most residential and institutional
buildings of mixed construction may be
severely damaged,
electrical power distribution and
communication services may be
severely disrupted and
damage to affected communities can be
very heavy.”
 “The signal number five implies that
winds is more than 220 kph and maybe
expected in 12 hours.”
“How does the wind impact?”
“The wind impact is very heavy to
widespread damage. It can make a
whole community homeless because
houses even made in stones will be
gravely destroyed.”
“That is correct!”

h. Practice

Match each typhoon signals with their

corresponding speed of the wind.

Signal no. 1 60kph-100kph

Signal no. 2 30kph-60kph
Signal no. 3 185-220kph
Signal no. 4 more than 220kph
Signal no. 5 100-185kph

(Pupils will answer on a piece of paper)

I. Application

Group 1 – News reporting about Storm

warning signal

Group 2 – Role playing on how you’re

going to prepare if there’s a typhoon.

“Class, we are going to perform a group

activity. So I will divide you into two
groups, let’s start counting from the
left side. Start counting: 1,2…….
Alright. each group should stay in their
assigned table. I will discuss to you
what will be your activity for today. Do
you understand?”

“Group 1, you are going to perform a

news reporting based on our lesson
about the storm warning signals, you’re
going to give us information about the
typhoon and give us warnings if it is
signal 1,2,3,4 or 5. Do you understand?”
“Group 2, you are going to make a scene
on preparing for the incoming typhoon.
Show us the right things to do on how
to be prepared. Do you understand?”
“I will give you five minutes to prepare.
We are going to start after five
minutes”
(Pupils will perform by group.)

GROUP 1
News reporting
Good morning televiewers!

bulletin issued 5 am on Friday, state
weather bureau PAGASA said Urduja
now has maximum winds of 75
kilometers per hour (km/h) from the
previous 65 km/h and gustiness of up
to 90 km/h. Due to Urduja's extremely
slow movement, its expected landfall
has been pushed back to either
Saturday morning or

afternoon, December 16. Signal number

2 remains raised over Eastern Samar,
Northern Samar, Samar, Biliran Signal
no. 1 meanwhile, is still up in:
Catanduanes, Camarines Sur, Albay,
Sorsogon, Romblon, Leyte, Southern
Leyte, Northern Iloilo, Aklan, and

j. Generalization

“How many Storm Signals do we have?”

“We have five storm signals.”
“Very good. So based on our discussion
we have Five Storm Signals. Why do
you think PAGASA has created the
Storm Signal System?”

“The PAGASA has created the Storm

Signal System because our country is

“Why did PAGASA added signal number
five in the Storm Signal System?”
“Does it indicate that some typhoons
are serious and some are not? Why?”
k. Valuing
“We are now living in a generation
where it is easy for us to access
information. Relating with our topic,
how can technologies help us in times of
typhoons?”
“Very good! now on a piece of paper
answer this.”
often visited by typhoons and in order
for us to be aware on what
preparations we’re going to do. The
Storm Signal System will help us.”
“The PAGASA added signal number five
in the Storm Signal System to give
warning on a tropical cyclone winds of
more than 220 kph that are expected
within 12 hours, it is also considered as
a super typhoon. It is to raise public
awareness so that they will take signal
warnings seriously.”
“No because even if it is in signal 1, 2
or 3 we should always remain vigilant
specially when it comes to the safety
of our family members. Let us not take
typhoons lightly and act accordingly to
what PAGASA is telling because they
are there to guide us and inform us.”
“In times of typhoons it is always
important for us to watch or listen on
news and because of technologies it is
much easier for us to get informed
because we can access on weather
news, read articles about typhoons that
are about to come and it help us to be
more prepared and avoid serious
damages that a typhoon may cause us.”
