I.OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

A. Content Standard:
The learner demonstrates understanding of: South and West Asian literature as an expression of
philosophical and religious beliefs; information flow in various text types; reality, fantasy, and opinion in
listening and viewing materials; word decoding strategies; and use of information sources, active/passive
constructions, direct/reported speech, perfect tenses, and logical connectors in journalistic writing.

used in composing and delivering a memorized oral speech featuring use of properly acknowledged
information sources, grammatical signals for opinion – making, persuasion, and emphasis, and appropriate
prosodic features, stance, and behavior.

IV. PROCEDURES
A. Preliminaries
 Prayer
 Attendance Checking
 Agreement
 Reviewing of the previous lesson
 Reading of the objective
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
 Motivation
The teacher will ask a question:
 What are the four basic flavors that come to mind when we think of ice cream?
( Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Ube, Mango)
 Like ice cream, sentences also have four basic flavors – simple, compound, complex, and
compound- complex. If you’re planning to write a paragraph or an essay, here’s something to keep
in mind; no one likes to eat only one flavor of ice cream all the time.

C. Representing examples/instances of the new lesson

 Activity
Balloon Buster
Divide the students into teams of four. Each team will be given a balloon. Inside each
balloon be word cards that make up a sentence. When the teacher say ‘go’, the teams try to pop
their balloons using only their elbows and race to form a sentence from the word cards inside the
balloon. The first team to form the sentence is the winner.
Sentences:
1. I kicked the ball.
2. I kicked the ball, and it hit Tom.
3. Tom cried because the ball hit him.
4. Tom cried because the ball hit him, and I apologized immediately.

Ask the students with the following questions:

 How will you differentiate each sentence structure from the other?
 Based on the sentence structure, what type of sentences they are?
 What do you think is the significance of learning sentence structures in the field of
communication?

D. Abstraction
The teacher will present the lesson “ Four Types of Sentence Structures”. Each type of sentence
structure will be defined and discuss along with each corresponding example.

Types of Sentence Structures

1. Simple Sentence – contains one independent/main clause.

Examples:
Stories entertain. [simple sentence]
Stories and riddles entertain. [simple sentence with compound subject]
Stories entertain and amuse. [simple sentence with compound predicate]
Stories and riddles amuse and entertain.
[simple sentence with compound subject and compound predicate]

2. Compound Sentence – has two or more independent/main clauses. Each main clause of a compound sentence has
its own subject and predicate, and these main clause are usually joined by a comma and a coordinating
conjunction ( for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
Examples:
Stories entertain, and riddles amuse.
Stories entertain, and riddles amuse, but poems delight.
Semicolons may also be used to join the main clauses in a compound sentence.
Example:
Few wild animals live in China’s densely populated plains; in remote areas wild life is abundant.

3. Complex Sentence – has one independent/main clause and one or more dependent/ subordinate clauses.
Examples:
I like Toni Cade Bambara’s stories because they have real- life characters.
When I read her stories, I enjoy them because they are true to life.

4. Compound – Complex Sentence – has two or more independent/main clauses and at least one subordinate clause.
Example:
I read Frankenstein, which was written by Mary Shelley and I wrote a report about it.

E. Application
The teacher will introduce an activity called “Jeopardy”. Students will be group accordingly.
Each group will be given ten minutes of preparation and a maximum of five minutes for the
presentation.

Task I – for the sentence structure makers (Group I) : Use knowledge of sentence structure and
creativity to complete incomplete sentences. Then, identify the structure of sentences.
Present it to the class with explanation.

1._________ likes _________. Sentence type:___________

2. Mary_________ to work but ______ ________ to the party. Sentence Type:________
3. The friends always play _________ when they_________. Sentence Type:________
4. John didn’t ________ because he was__________ so _____ was not happy.
Sentence Type:_______
 Task II – for the verbalist (Group II) : Explain this quotation, “ Each one is unique and thus special”.
elaborate creatively using the sentence structures.
Task III – for the performers (Group III) : Create and perform a short dialogue. Make your lines
creatively using the sentence structures .
Task IV – for the analysts (Group IV) : Summarize the lesson by completing the table below.
Analyze if how many independent or dependent clauses in each type of sentence
structure and differentiate it from the other. Present it to the class.

THE SCORING RUBRIC FOR THE GROUP PRESENTATION

Mechanics (relevance of the content, choice of sentences, flow of communication) 20 points
