“Almira, please go with your brother to the market and buy a loaf of bread for
merienda,” Mother said.
“We need to buy the bread first,” whispered Almira. She held the hand of his brother
as they walked to the store. Finally, they bought the bread.
“Yes, Mother,” replied Almira, “but I’m sorry, I don’t have the exact change. I
bought chocolate milk for Danny without asking your permission.”

events of the comic strip we read yesterday.
2. Modeling
Say: These are Tagpi’s body parts. I will read each word and you repeat them after
me.
Point to the word when you read it then the part of the body it labels. Discuss how to
decode consonant digraphs in final or medial or initial position /ck/, /th/, and /ph/.)
Say: Now, look at this words that I will underline. (Underline the words back, teeth, and
thigh).
Say: The first word ends with the letter c and k but they only have one sound /k/.
Have pupils focus on the words back, teeth, and thigh.(Have students say the letters
aloud and then give the sound /k/ of the consonant digraph ck.
Say: The second word ends with letter t and h but they only have one sound /Ɵ/. When
the word begins with the letter t and h you also give th only one sound /Ɵ/. Let pupils
repeat the sound.

3. Guided Practice
1. Presentation/Introduction
Let the pupils observe each picture and allow them to give verbs that describe Tagpi
and Bantay?
Say: Let’s have picture 1. Where is Tagpi? What is he doing? (running) Let’s have
picture 2? What is Bantay doing? (playing)
2. Modeling/Teaching
Say: Your answers are correct. These words are called action words or verbs.
To improve the listening and speaking skills of the pupils, employ the “Teach-Ok”
technique from Whole Brain Teaching. (This technique is a variation of Direct
Instruction and facilitates TPR) Here’s how this is done.
1. Have the pupils count off 1 with the pupil next to him/her saying
2. Tell them you will be saying these words Class, Teach, Switch. They are to do
something after those words are said following this script for each of the
sentences in the template.
Teacher: Class
Pupils: Yes
Teacher: (Says one of the sentences in the template and claps twice.) Teach!
Number 1 Pupils: (Repeats to Number 2 pupils the sentence the teacher said.
Teacher : Switch!
c. “Play” is a verb.
e. “Run” is a verb.
In doing the WBT technique, let the pupils act out the verbs whenever they mention
each word. Model the gesture.
Say: What is verb? Is the word play a verb? (Yes) Why? (Because it’s an action word)
Is the word run a verb? (Yes) Why? (Because it’s an action word)
Flash pictures of Tagpi and Bantay and label each picture with verbs. Let the pupils
read each verb.
3. Guided Practice
Say: I will use verbs in a sentence. Read the sentence and whenever you read the verb,
I want you to act it out. (Teacher models the activity)

What is your favorite toy? What would you do if you lost your favorite toy?
Elicit answers from the pupils. Write their responses on the board.
3. Motive Question:
Say: The character in the story we have for this day does not have a toy he
truly loves. He has a very important tool his AXE. He has been using his axe
to earn a living for the family.
What if he lost his axe? What would he do? Let us find it out.
Read the story aloud .Stop at strategic points and ask questions.
The Honest Woodman
Adapted by Esperanza Diaz Cruz
Once, a poor woodman named Caloy went to the forest which was on the side
of a deep river. He was working all day long and he was tired. (Demonstrate
how it is to be tired.)
Suddenly his axe slipped from his hand and fell into the water. (Act it out before
the pupils)
"Oh! I have lost my axe," he cried. "I have nothing to use to earn my living!
What shall I do? The river is very deep and I am afraid to dive into it. Who
can help me?"
Stop and Ask: Who do you think would help the woodman? How would he do it?
Faye, a good fairy, heard the poor man's cries and appeared before him.
"What’s the matter, poor woodman?" she asked. "Why are you so sad?"
Caloy told her what happened and Faye promised to help him.
Stop and Ask: What would the fairy do? Can you guess?
She dived into the river and brought up a golden axe. "Is it yours?" she asked.
( Ask the girls in the class to say this line “Is it yours?”)
"No, that is not mine," answered Caloy.
( Ask the boys in the class to say this line-“No, that is not mine”)
Faye dived again and this time brought up a silver axe.
"Is it yours?" she asked, ( Remind the girls to say the line-“Is it yours?”)
and Caloy again answered "No."( Remind the boys to say the line-No.)
Stop and Ask: What do you think would the fairy do?
So Faye dived a third time and this time brought up the axe that had slipped
from Caloy's hand. "That is my axe," he cried . "Now I can work again."
Happy with Caloy’s acts, Faye gave him the two axes as a reward.
2. Talk together about what the certificate should look like and what it should
say.

Get-the–Details
Say: To answer these questions, we need to remember some details from the text we
listened to or read about .Let us see if we remember the details from the story: The
honest woodman to get answers to the questions in the guide sheet.
Elicit answers from the pupils. Post their answers on the guide sheet.
Say: Let us read your answers. The ideas you have given are the details you
remember from the story. There are some simple ways of getting details.
Think about this. Details answer the who, what, when , where and how. The story
itself will help you find something about the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE,
WHY, HOW.
Refer the pupils to LM Activity 130 on page 152 for noting details activity.
Say: Details help us understand the story better. The details are the events that
happened in the story. Remember to always ask yourself: Does it make sense if I give
this detail for this question.

After doing the word structure analysis, let the pupils read the word three times. Teacher
may employ variation in reading the words like reading it soft, moderate or loud to
sustain the interest of the pupils. Remind the pupils that words with the same structure
have long /a/ sound.
Flash card drill on words with long /a/ previously learned on week 3.
Modeling/Teaching
Introduce more words with long /a/ and silent e in –ame and –ale family. Be sure to
illustrate or act out each word before the pupils read them.

Presentation/Introduction
• What was the first thing Ana did for the big day?
• What were the things Ana did as written in her planner? Did she do each of them?
Elicit answers from the pupils then write each on the board.
Possible answers:
1. Everybody was preparing for the big day.
2.
Ana planned the things to be done for the big day.
3.
1st – She cleaned the house.
Modeling/Teaching
Say: Now, what were the things we have written on the board?
These events make up the story plot of ‘Preparing for the Big Day’. Let us study the plot by
answering the following.”
1. What do you mean by ‘plot’?
3. Would you be able to understand the story, without knowing the plot?
3. Guided/Independent Practice
Now that you have learned what a plot is, I would like you to go back to the story,
and creatively present its events through song and dance.
Group 1: What Ana did five days before the big day?
Group 2: What Ana did four day before the big day?
Group 3: What Ana did three day before the big day?
Group 4: What Ana did two day before the big day?
Group 5: What Ana did a day before the big day?
Skill Lesson: Long Vowel Words Ending in Silent e: long /a/ as in bake (1st half)
Introduction
Say: What is in picture A? (a boy) A boy is also called male. What is in picture B? (a
candle) the candle has a flame.
Ask: What is the sound of /a/ in the words male and flame. Note: Let the pupils sound
it three times.
Modeling
Flash card drill on words with long /a/ previously learned on day 2, see teaching chart.
Provide corrective feedback if necessary.
Guided Practice
Let the pupils read words with long /a/ and silent e used in phrases and in sentences.
Independent Practice
Let the pupils list and classify the words from Activity A and B into –ame family and
–ale family.
5. Review
6. Presentation/Introduction
Say: Are you curious as to what the big day is in the story? What makes it so special
that everybody is excited about it? Why did Ana prepare so much for it?
Now, brainstorm with your groupmates. Make a guess about what the ‘big day’ is.
Be able to share the idea of the group with the class.
As the groups share their guesses, write on the board the guess of each group. Later in
the lesson, you may refer to it to determine which group made the correct guess.
7. Development of the Lesson
Say: Let us read the story and find out what is the big day Ana referring to.
Refer the pupils to LM Activity 146 on page 165.
3. Where do you think her Father came from? What was his job?
6. If you were Ana and you did not see your Father for quite a long time, would you
also do what Ana did?
This time, let us help Ana find her way to her Father by identifying the things she did in
preparation for his homecoming.
Refer the pupils to LM Activity 147 on page 166.
• Why do you think Ana did everything she did for her Father’s homecoming?
Write on the board the best answer that can be elicited from the pupils. Let them read it
and tell them that it is the theme of the story. Then, ask the idea of the class about story
theme.
Say: Let us talk about the ‘theme’ by answering the following questions:
• What details of the story should you consider to help you identify the theme?
Generalization:
Theme gives the idea that is central to a story. It tells what the story is
mostly about. It often gives a sense of value that is likely appealing to the
readers. A story can have more than one theme.
Discuss another theme of the story for the pupils to understand that a story can have
several themes. You may add the themes such as a daughter’s longing for her father, a
daughter’s love for her father, excitement on father’s homecoming, a father’s longing for
her daughter, missing a parent, etc.
8. Independent Group Activity
Can you think of another theme of the story The Big Day? Work with your group
mates. Be able to present as follows the theme you brainstormed about:
Group 1: Chant
Group 2: Poster
Group 3: Song
Group 4: Short skit
Group 5: Poem
Skill Lesson: Long Vowel Words Ending in Silent e: long /a/ as in bake (1st half)
Materials: flash cards of words with long /a/ sound and silent e, pocket chart
1. Flash words with long /a/ sound and silent e under –ame and –ale family (see teaching
chart). Ask volunteers to read each word. After each word is read, ask the pupils to display
the word card/flash card under its word family in the pocket chart.
4. Read the story Kale. Use the Stop and Read approach. Whenever the teacher stops, the
pupils continue. See a copy of the text in the LM. The underlined words will be read by
the pupils.
Note: After group reading, ask volunteers to read the entire story.
5. Activity
A. Let the pupils answer WH- questions about the story Kale
B. Let the pupils make a list of their daily schedule in their notebook.
1. Presentation/Introduction
Say: Let us study the table below by answering the following question.
(The table below must be presented on the board for the pupils to see it.)
A B
Classes start at 6:00 o’clock in the Yesterday, our class started earlier than
morning. the usual.

• What are the italicized words in column A?
• What does each tell?
• Are there clues that tell when the actions happened? What are they?
• What time of action does each clue word or expression signify?
• What have you noticed about the action words in column B?
• What time of action does each signify?
• What clues tell that the actions were already done in the past?
• How do we form the past of regular verbs?
Say: Let us work in pairs. List down two common verbs you know.
As the pupils share their output, write on the board the verbs by sorting them as to
regular and irregular verbs (e.g. jump and run). Ask the class to form the past of the
regular verbs they listed.
2. Modeling/Teaching
During the discussion, for better understanding, lead the pupils to arrive at the
following ideas:
• The activities that you do every day and those you do habitually express present
time.
• The activities that you have done before the actual time of speaking express past
time.
• Regularly occurring verbs form their past by adding –ed at the end such as ask-
asked, clear-cleared, repeat-repeated, etc.
If time permits, you may also discuss the pronunciation of the last two letters (-ed), in
asked (t), cleared (d), and repeated(ed) by providing more examples and letting the
pupils read them.
invited
3. Guided Practice
Say: Let’s pretend that we are in a birthday party. Let us play a game using a party hat.
Think of an action word then write it on the party hat(front side). On cue, each should pass
the hat to the person on the right and have him/her write its past form on the back part of
the party hat and say the word aloud or write /d/, /t/ or /Id/ after the past form of the
verb.
Front Back
For modeling, do the first trial. Limit the time of the pupils in doing the activity. After
which, collect the party hat and tell whether the past from of the regularly occurring
verb is correct. If it is not, ask/guide somebody to make the necessary correction.
4. Independent Practice
Instruct the pupils to write five simple sentences that tell what Gab did in the past
based on the planner.
1. Presentation/Introduction
If the class has no idea what a birthday party is or none of the pupils has been to such,
direct the class by showing pictures or things that can be found in there, and then tell
them the things that children do in a birthday party.
2. Modeling/Teaching
Say: Do you know that you cannot just simply attend a birthday party without being
invited? The birthday celebrator usually gives out invitation to those s/he wanted to be
present in her/his party.
October 9, 2014
Dear Gab,
Hi!
I will be turning eight on October 13. My mother plans to
prepare a simple party for me in our house. The fun will start at
1:00 in the afternoon.
I will be happy if you could join us in celebrating this
very special day.
Thanks,
Lani
Say:Let us study the Q & A chart we made while we were talking about the Birthday
Invitation Card above by answering the following.

with her friends on her special day?
Say: We ask question whenever we want/request for information. The information may be
provided in the form of a response or an answer.
We start our question with What if we want to know an object, idea, or action.
We start our question with How if we want the answer the manner of a certain act.
3. Guided Practice
Refer the pupils to LM Activity 150 on page 170.
Say: This time, let us try writing/making question. Unlike the first one we did, answers are
given; try to write the question that would give the answer on the right.
Say: By group, construct three basic wh-questions using any of the given stimuli.
• Birthday card
• School announcement
Use genuine birthday cards, school announcements, and warning signs that can be
found inside the school premises so that the pupils can relate and attentively
participate.

Fast Forward
by Leah N. Bautista
“Classes will start late tomorrow.” Slick jumped with joy. He said, “I need not hurry. I’ll
take it easy. I have lots of time to get things done.” So he played with his friends in the
yard. They talked and had fun until dinner time.
“Uh-huh,” Slick’s father said. “Look at the clock’s long minute hand. Fast forward it
goes. It warns us that time flies by fast. So do first what has to be done while you have
time to do it.” He cleaned the Grandfather’s clock which chimed ten times.
Slick did not listen. Later, he had to move fast forward like the minute hand of the
clock. He worked fast on his homework to get it done. He had to get up early and dress up
fast hoping he would not miss the school bus.
But the bus was gone so Slick skipped breakfast and walked fast forward to school so
he would not be late.
Tired and hungry Slick said, “The lesson I learned today so we need not move fast if we
just manage our time well and do first things first.”
Lesson 14 Day 2: Decoding/Fluency/Writing
1. Start with a flashcard drill of long I words as shown in LM, Lesson 154. Review their
meanings, as needed.
A. Have the children read aloud the words in A, by columns. Then call on the whole class,
small groups, and individual children to read a column of words at a time. If needed, you
can model how a word should be read. Note that the vowel i in the word pine is given the
a long i sound.
B. Do the same with the phrases in B. Ask questions to see if pupils know the meaning of
the phrases.
C. Say: Do you have a bike? Do you also fly kite? Have the pupils pair off and take turns
reading and answering questions with their partner. Now we will read a story about a
boy riding on a bike and flying a kite.
Refer the pupils to LM Activity 154D. Have alternate oral reading of the story. Start by
reading the first stanza, and then have the class read stanza 2; the boys read stanza 3 and
the girls read the last stanza. Then have the whole class read the entire poem.
D. Say: In the peom, the boy rides a bike and at the same time flies a kite. Is it right to ride
a bike and fly a kite at the same time? Do you also ride a bike? Do you like to fly a kite?
Which do you prefer?
Draw and write a sentence about what you like.
Have the pupils do the activity in to LM Activity 155. Ask pupils to share their drawings
and sentences after they are done.
Have a flashcard drill of selected sight words as shown in to LM Activity 156A. Note that the
word basket, which has a CVC-CVC pattern, is also included. Again, give opportunities for the
pupils to read the words on sight, from whole class, small groups, and individual children. If
needed, model how a word should be read, especially the words around, funny, happy, and
basket. Point out that don’t is a short version of do not.
A. Do the same with the phrases in B and with the sentences in C. Ask questions to
see if pupils know the meaning of the phrases.
1. Presentation/Introduction
Show the pictures one at a time, in random order. Ask what is happening in each picture.
Say: Remember the story we read yesterday? Here are some pictures showing events from the
story. Look at each picture. Tell what is happening in the picture.
2. Modeling/Teaching
Say: The pictures do not show the correct order in which the events happened in the story.
Which picture shows what happened first? Which picture shows what happened next? Which
picture shows what happened last? Let us arrange them in the correct order
3. Modeling/ Teaching
Say: Now we can use the pictures to help us retell the story. Let us use Picture 1 to tell what
happened.
Do the same with the next two pictures. Guide the children in answering the questions so they
come up with sentences similar to the following
Picture 1 First, Slick stayed up late chatting and playing with his friends.
Picture 2 Next, Father Grasshopper cleaned his grandfather’s clock to teach his son a lesson.
Picture 3 Finally, Slick went home tired and hungry. He now learned his lesson to “do first
things first”.
(Note: Guide the students to make this generalization at the end of Modeling/Teaching and before
Guided Practice. It will help to have the generalization shown in a Teaching Chart for ease in
reference, and for use in future lessons on sequencing. )
Teaching Chart: Sequencing
4. Guided Practice
Group the pupils with 10 members each. Let each group show three scenes from the story
“Fast Forward” through a tableau. Let one member retell the story using the three scenes
formed. Make sure that the scenes are presented in the correct order.
5. Independent Practice
B. When the children have numbered all the events, call on them to retell the story using the
pictures. Have one child retell what happened in each event.
End the activity by having the children repeat the tips for sequencing and retelling.
1. Presentation/Introduction
Say: Do you still remember the story “Fast Forward”? Who was the main character in the
story? What are the things he did?
2. Modeling/Teaching
Say: Read the word under the picture. Model how the word should be read. Let us spell chime:
c-h-i-m-e. Point to the letters as you do so. What is the vowel in the middle? What is the sound
of iin chime? Read the word again.
Read the following sentences and present the flashcard of the highlighted word as you say it
then put each word in the pocket chart or board.
3. Guided Practice
Teaching Chart
Make sure that the pupils know the meaning of each word through vocabulary development
activities such as pictures, action, and context.
After initial reading and vocabulary study, provide practice in reading the words, through
flashcard drills, or teaching charts. Have the pupils read words by word families first before
presenting them with various combinations of words.
Have children do Exercise D, then read the words aloud after they have completed them.
This game can also be played in small groups. Prepare the grid on a whole sheet of paper.
Give a set of word cards and the bingo grid to each group. The same procedure is followed.
Ask children to read the phrases using various formats as you did in previous lessons. Make
sure that the meanings of the phrases are understood.
4. Independent Practice
1. Presentation/Introduction
Say: Can you still remember the story “Fast Forward”? What happened to Slick, the
Grasshopper?
Let the pupils give details about the story. They may answer in phrases or in complete
sentences. Write their answers on the board putting phrases in one column and sentences in
another column.
Possible answers:
A B
1. will start late 1. Classes will start late tomorrow.
2. played with friends 2. He played with his friends in the yard.
3. talked and had fun 3. They talked and had fun until dinner time.
Say: I wrote them on the board. Let’s read your answers again.
2. Modeling/Teaching
Say: Read number one in column A. Read number one in column B. Which is longer? A1
or B1?Which tells a complete thought? Let’s read B1 again. What else do you notice about
B1? (B1 begins with a capital letter and ends with a period.) This is what you call a sentence.
A sentence gives a complete thought.
Write the word sentence on the board and have children read it.
Say: Is A1 a sentence? Why not? Does it say a complete thought like B1? Does it begin with a
capital letter? Does it end with a period? So, is it a sentence? This is what you call a phrase.
A phrase doesn’t give a complete thought.
Write the word phrase on the board and have children read it.
3. Guided Practice
A B
1. Slick, the Grasshopper, a. chimed ten times
2. Grandfather’s Clock b. manage our time well
3. We just c. jumped with joy
4. But the bus d. talked and had fun
5. They all e. was gone
(Make the word “the” begin with a capital letter. Add a period at the end of the sentence.)
Now let’s choose the verbs in the given sentences. How do the words end? What did we
add? (We add d or ed to the simple form of the verb to form its past tense.)
Say: Read the following sentences. Do they give complete thought? How are the verbs written
to show that the action took place in the past?
1. thousands of years ago, the early Filipinos lived in caves
2. they hunted wild animals with their bows and arrows
3. they cooked food by roasting them
4. sometimes they picked fruits
5. they used the leaves of plants for medicine
Divide the class into two groups. Each group will combine phrases to make sentences. The
sentences should make sense. Each sentence should begin with a capital letter and end with a
period.
Match A with column B to form a sentence. Write the sentences correctly. Use
capital letters and punctuation marks if needed.
GROUP I
A B
1. nita cleaned a. the trash in a pit
2. she buried b. their yard
3. thousands of years ago c. some vegetables in the garden
4. maria gathered d. some people lived in caves
5. last Saturday e. I scrambled eggs for breakfast
GROUP II
A B
1. Yesterday, Father a. the yard
2. He cleaned b. the plates
3. I washed c. stayed at home
4. She counted d. the ripe guavas they picked
5. Romy and Bert walked e. to school together last Monday
Have groups present their outputs. Guide the class in giving feedback on whether the
sentences formed make sense.
4. Independent Practice
1. Introduction/Presentation
Review part of the story “Fast Forward” that focuses on the crow’s resourcefulness.
Say: In our story “Fast Forward,” What was the problem of Slick? What did his father do to
solve Slick’s problem? Did it help him solve the problem? We say that father is resourceful. To
be resourceful means to find quick and smart ways to solve problem. Follow after me (say the
word by syllable: RE-SOURCE-FUL). Give a clap as you say each syllable. (Pupils give one
clap for each syllable.) How many syllables does the word resourceful have? Now, let us spell
the word resourceful.
2. Modeling/Teaching
Write the word resourceful with some missing letters like below.
Say: The word “resourceful” is a long word so it may be hard to read. Look at different parts
of the word to help you. There are 3 syllables in the word. Read the middle syllable (source).
What vowel follows the letter r in the first syllable?
The last syllable is –ful. What do you think is the missing letter? Call on another pupil to write f
on the blank.
r __ s o u r c e __ u l
Say: Now we have the complete word. Read the syllables. Read the whole word. Read it
again.
3. Guided Activity
Say: These are Anne and Roy. They are helping solve our garbage problem. They collect
plastics, bottles and paper to do their project in Science.
Say: It’s your turn to help save our environment. I will give you some recyclable items. Discuss
with your group mates what you can do to make use of recyclable materials. Draw your project
in a manila paper, which you will present next week.
Provide recyclable materials to the pupils and give them 10 minutes to plan and draw their
project. Refer the pupils to LM Activity 160.
Have pupils use this as a guide for their project, which they will submit on ¼ Manila paper the
following week.

1. Presentation
Show a picture of a grade 3 girl rushing to catch her school bus. Refer to LM Activity
161A for the said picture.
Say: Can you “ read” a picture? Does the picture tell something? (Show the picture to
the class.) Can you tell what the picture is trying to say?
2. Modeling
Brainstorm what the children know or think about the picture they see and write it under
column WHAT I KNOW. Under column WHAT ELSE I WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT IT, write what are the things they still want to learn or discover about the
details of the picture.
Say: Look at the picture again. Let us guess what information it tells us. What does the
picture tell? Do you know how to guess what a non-print material (picture) tells? What
are non-print materials, by the way?
Non-print sources are materials that tell something without the use of words. These
sources use pictures, graphs, posters, movie and the like. There are 4 steps to take so
we can make sense about it.
1. Look at the whole picture.
2. Describe the details.
2.1 If there are persons or animals, describe what they are doing or their faces to
tell what they feel.
2.2 Describe the setting or place where the person in the picture is.
3. Using your observations earlier, you can now make an intelligent guess/infer as to
what the picture tells us.
3. Guided Practice
Now let us try another one and carefully examine the details of the picture.
What is the boy holding? Refer to the pictures in LM Activity 161B.
Go with your groups and write in one sentence, what you think the picture is about.
Say: Was it easy to interpret what the picture was trying to tell us?
Say: In picture A, how will you describe the boy ?
What can you say about his grade in the card? Is it high or low?
What you should do to get high grades?
(Do the same processing with pictures B and C.)
4. Independent Practice
Study the pictures and guess what information they tell. Write your answers in your
notebook.
Refer your pupils to LM Activity 161C and D.
1. Presentation
Say: This is a signage. What do you see in a signage? The words you see in a signage
are called print. A signage is a Print Source of information. What does the signage tell
you? Let us state in another way what the information given in this signage.
No I.D.
2. Modeling
No Entry
Ask: What is inferring? How do we infer information from a print source?
Say: Inferring is making a guess about what something tells. We can infer from a print
source of information. Print source of information tells us something in just a few
words. Samples of print sources are signage, posters, brochures, and the like. There
are 4 questions that you need to answer in order to infer information from a print
source.
1. What does the print tell you?
2. Why does the print tell you that?
3. Does the print explain this clearly?
4. How else can you say what the print says?
Say: Answering these questions make state in full what the print tells.
Let us look at the signage again and mention what it tells. (Point the pupils to the
signage you posted on the board.) Read the print.
Ask the four questions one-by-one. Accept the pupil’s responses.

Lesson 15 Day 3: Form and use of the past tense of frequently used irregular
verbs (eat-ate)
1. Presentation
Prepare strips of Manila paper. Write the lines of each character on the strips and stick
them on a Manila paper for easy removal and classification of the sentences (a request
or a command) in a follow up activity later.
The class of Miss Luz starts the lesson by checking the homework.
2. Modeling
Use some of the strips to elicit answers from your students that lead to the understanding the
difference between a request and a command.
Say: Let us read strip number 1. (Remove it from the manila paper and post it on the board. Do
the same with strip numbers 8, 9, 10)

After the children have chosen the right answers, ask them:
What did you notice with the verbs when they are in the past form?
What two verbs showed a change in their past form? What change took place?
Group Activity
Say: Now let us play like a cat and dog. One volunteer from each group will be the “It” or the
cat. They have to jump on the right past form of the verb they are holding in order to get the
bone. If they jump on to the wrong verb, they will fall and the dog will get the bone instead.
Say: What did you notice about the past form of the verbs?
What was added at the end of the verbs? Why?
What do we call this verb then?
3. Guided Practice
Say: Let us try again but now let us work together with our groups.
Choose the right past form of the irregular verbs.

conduct the spelling lesson using the following steps.
4. Let them spell the word as they look at the printed copy
5. Remove the copy of the word and let the pupils spell the word
6. Let them write the word on their tag board or on their paper
7. Show again the printed word and let them check whether they have spelled the
word correctly
Say: I am going to flash words one at a time. You are to read the word aloud. Then, tell
the number of syllables the word has. Now, let us spell the word together as you look at
its written form in the flashcard. The time, I’ll remove the flashcard, can you still spell
the word? Let us try. Now, write the word on your paper or on your tag board.
Note: Do the same with the remaining words.
After all the words have been presented show again their printed form on the flashcards
and let the pupils check whether they have spelled the words correctly.
Individual pupils may be called to spell the words.

“Tiktilaok, Tiktilaok!“
The rooster wakes everyone up. All the farm animals get up.
Mother hen starts to look for food. The baby chicks go with
mother hen. They scratch the ground for grains and crumbs. All
the other animals keep themselves busy looking for something to
eat. At night time, they all sleep early so as to be ready for the
next day.
Ask: What animal crows to wake everyone up? What does mother hen do? Who go with
mother hen? Why do the hen and chicks scratch the ground? Why do the animals sleep
early?
Let the pupils identify the action word in each sentence. Let them also identify the
subject in each sentence.
Ask: What is talked about in sentence 1? How many roasters are mentioned? What
action word is used? With what letter does the action word end? What about in
sentence 2? How many hens are talked about? What do you notice with the action
word? In what letter does it end?

GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE
Tell the pupils that A Sequence Chart is very helpful in showing a series of events in
the order in which they took place. It is used to outline the major events in a story as shown
by the arrow. Details in the Sequence Chart may be used to retell the story to other pupils.
Refer to LM Activity 186 on page 214.
Ask pupils to paste the strips of paper on the appropriate box.
Call on volunteers to read along the sequenced events.
Call on a volunteer to retell the story using the sequenced events without looking at
the chart.
Call on another volunteer to retell the story to the class using sequenced events
without looking at the chart.
Refer to LM Activity 187 on pages 215-216 for the reading exercise on long /u/ words like
cube.
Tell the pupils that these words have the long /u/ sound and that the final letter e in every
word is a silent letter.
Model reading and tell pupils what these words are through pictures, word associations,
sentence strips, demonstration, situation presentation.
Guided Practice
Instruct the pupils to work in triads. Read aloud to them a story. Have them fill in the
Sequence Chart with the events as they happened in the story through the sentence strips
below.
The Fence
One day while their father was away, the three sons agreed to put up a fence
to enclose their house. The eldest son took the bundle of sticks. The second son looked for
bigger sticks for the posts. The youngest son got the hammer and some nails.
They started working on the fence. They helped each other put the post in
place, line the sticks and hammer the nails on them. Before dark they finished the fence. They
felt tired but happy.
When their father came home, he was surprised. His son really understood
what teamwork means.
Show the pupils the strips of paper with the events written on them. Tell them to use
the Sequence Chart to show the sequence of events as they happened in the story.
