PRESENTATION

Class, this morning we are going to discuss

about the negative and positive message,
where, at the end of the lesson you will be
able to:

1. Determine the negative and positive

message from the given examples,
2. Write some text using negative and
positive statement; and
 3. Recognize and understand the
essence of distinction of negative and
positive messages in the text.

Now class, that you already know what is

message,
I have short texts or messages here, and I
want you to read it and determine what are
they trying to convey.
Are you ready class? Yes, Sir.

(The teacher will now show the example

statements or messages to the students, and
let the students read and analyze it.)

1. Online learning in the Philippines is

not effective, because of the
country’s poor internet connection.

2. The Philippines Educational

Department implemented online class
successfully and effectively.

3. Covid-19 affected cases in the

Philippines is extremely rising.

4. In the Philippines the total number of

Covid-19 recoveries is higher than the
total number of deaths.

(The teacher will now call students to read

the statements)

(After the students read each statement the (The students read the statements)
teacher will now ask some questions,
regarding to the given text.)

Okay class, now that you already read the

four different statements now, I will ask you
some questions. Are you ready? Yes, Sir.

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION

Okay class, what is your interpretation about
statement number 1? Or what does this
statement imply?

Please class, do not answer in chorus. Raise

your hand if you want to answer. Sir, the statement number 1 trying to say
that, because of poor internet connection the
online class in the Philippines is not effective.
Okay thank you.

How about statement number 2? How would

you interpret the statement number 2?

Again, raise your hand if you want to answer. Sir, statement number 2 say that, the online
class in the Philippines is successful and
effective.
Okay, thank you.

What about statement number 3? Sir, statement number 3 say that the covid-
19 affected cases is getting worst.

Okay thank you.

Now, last statement number 4. who can Sir, the statement number 4 say that the
interpret this statement? covid-19 total number recoveries is higher
than the total number of deaths.
Okay thank you.

All your answers class are correct.

Okay, now who can determine the negative Sir, the negative statements are number 1
statement or message from our examples? and 3.

Okay, how did you know? Sir, I determined that it is negative because
of the word “not effective” in statement
number 1 and the word “extremely rising” in
statement number 3. And also, by
understanding the message of the
statements.
Thank you, that is correct.
So class, in order to determine the message
or statement that it is negative, we should
always look for the words or phrase that
makes them negative, and also the meaning
or the sense of the whole statement.

Here are some examples.

1. Illegal drugs are dangerous to your

health.
2. We, the people living in Earth, are
destroying our planet.

So class, from these examples, can you

determine what words or phrase that makes
these statements negative?
Okay, thank you that is correct.
Sir, in example number 1 the word or phrase
that makes the statement negative is “illegal
drugs are dangerous to your health” from the
statement itself we can already determine
that it is negative, because it uses the words
“illegal” and “dangerous” which can result to
negative words.

How about the example number 2 class?
Thank you that is correct.
Sir, still the same with statement number 1,
in statement number 2, just understand the
sense of the statement or find words that can
help you to determine the effect of a
statement or message whether it is negative
or positive.

So class, in determining what did the text

trying to convey, we should always
understand the statement or look for words
that makes the meaning of the statement
negative.

Did you get what I mean class? Yes, Sir.

Okay now, who among you here can

determine the positive statement or message
from these examples?

Please do not answer in chorus. Sir, the positive statements are number 2 and
Raise your hands if you want to answer. 4.
Okay, how did you know that statements It is because of the meaning and the sense of
number 2 and 4 are positive statements? the statement Sir.

Okay that is correct, thank you.

Okay, can you give some words or phrases

that makes the example number 2 and 4
positive statements?
Sir, in example number 2, the words hat
makes this statement positive is the
“successfully” and “effectively” and in
example number 4 is when you read and
understand the meaning of the statement
you will find out that it is a positive
statement or message.

Thank you, that is correct.

So class to determine a positive statement

class, we should understand the meaning of
the statement and find some words that can
result to positive statement or message.

This also have the same pattern on how to

find the negative statement.

By knowing these hints class, we can easily

determine the statement or message
whether it is positive or negative.

So, here are some examples of positive

statement class,

1. A kind person will always be good to

everyone.
2. Never hang out with bad people if
you want to live your life peacefully.

Now, from these examples class can you

determine what phrase or words that makes
these examples positive?
Thank you, that is correct.
Sir, in example number 1, it is positive since
the statement understandably conveys a
positive message, not just by the words
which makes it positive. And in example
number 2 is also a positive message because
of the sense and meaning of the message
itself.
Thank you, that is correct.

So class, these are the ways to determined

what does the message trying to covey
whether It is positive message or negative
message.
Yes Sir.
Did you get me class?

teacher will now ask a question about the
importance or essence of studying or
knowing the distinction of negative and
positive message.)

Class, let me ask you a question.

Why is it important to know the distinction of
the negative and the positive massage?
Sir, it is really important for us, so that we
can easily understand what message is being
conveyed in a text we are reading as to
whether it is a positive message or a negative
message.

Okay, thank you for your answer.

In addition to that class, It is very essential to

know the distinction of the positive and
negative message so that we can easily
determine what did the text or message
trying to convey. And also, in our daily living,
we can use it to communicate to everyone
