III. Procedure
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
 Greetings
Good morning class! Good morning Ma’am!

 Motivation
Before we start our lesson for today, we
will first have a group activity. I want (Students will start grouping themselves)
you to group yourselves into 8.

Each group will cooperatively work on

this activity. (Distribute the worksheet
for each group)

This is a story of a boy, but everything

seems screwed up and making no sense.
So each group will fix it and name the
title of this story. First group to finish
will our winner and get a prize.
Are there any further questions?
None ma’am!
You have five minutes to do this activity.
And you may start now! (Students will start doing the given task)
 Okay, class time’s up and we have a
winner! Group leader of the winning
group, how did you fix the story? Do you
know the proper steps or structure for
organizing a paragraph? Or did you do it
because you know the story and are very
familiar with all the events and details of
the story? Apparently, we know the story ma’am.

And what is the title of the story? “Jack and the Beanstalk”

Okay, very good! What if the story is

someone else’s story and you are not
familiar with it? What if it is about a
certain topic or idea? Will it be easy for
you to organize a certain paragraph that
you will be reading for the first time? We think it will not be that easy to organize
the paragraph that we are not familiar with,
ma’am.

That is why it is important for us to learn

the steps to writing a paragraph. Just like
in your own story, everything should
start with a good paragraph, and
everything after that should be composed
of a well-written paragraph. Our lives,
our stories, thoughts, or ideas should be
written properly.

Pay attention and listen to every detail of

our lesson. You will discover how
enjoyable writing is and may also
discover your own hidden talents in (Students will attentively listen to the
writing. discussion)

 Presentation

Why do we write? Do you know that

writing is full of fun and can help you to
be more confident and proud of yourself? (May or may not answer)

Let’s open our book on page …

According to our book, there are bunches
of reasons on why we need to write (read
the visual aids and explain further)
Exciting right? Yes ma’am.
 Those reasons were all part of all the
events or possible events of our lives.
There should be no reason for us to run
out of thoughts or ideas, and no reason at
all to stop anybody from expressing
himself/herself. All we have to do is
write right now, and let the world hear
our voice through writing.

 Pre-Writing
Here are the steps in writing, and we will
start with learning to write the super
effective and creative paragraph, and all
the rest will follow. Can you give any
thoughts or ideas on how to write a
paragraph?
(Answers may vary)
Writing a paragraph is just like making
your own sandwich; you have the bread,
the filling, the veggies, and everything in
it.

(Present a powerpoint presentation about

the simple paragraph)

I have here a mixed parts of a paragraph,

and we’ll fix it as if we are making a
hamburger. Can somebody help me with
this? Are you ready?
Yes, we are ready ma’am.
(Call a student) Now what do you think
is the topic sentence? Put it on our burger
template.
(Students will answer and do the activity

 While Writing

Now I want you to group yourselves into
