Give conclusions to realistic fiction read
COMPETENCIES (MELCs)
III. CONTENT/CORE CONTENT Giving Conclusions to Realistic Fiction
IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
I. Introduction (Time Frame: 5 mins.)
In our previous lesson, you learned about realistic fictions. Realistic fiction is a genre that seems real but is not. Realistic
means that something seems real while fiction means stories that are not real.
This time you will learn about giving conclusions from realistic fictions.
Learning to draw or give conclusions is a skill that develops over time. It is an important skill for readers to learn
because it encourages them to pay attention to what they are reading, use what they know from life experiences, and look
at the details and facts in the text as clues that will help them draw conclusions about what is meant but not explicitly stated.
In this lesson, you will learn to develop your skills in giving conclusions to realistic fictions.
After going through this lesson, you are expected to:
1. give conclusions to realistic fiction read
2. provide textual evidence to explain and support conclusion
3. read grade-level texts with appropriate speed, accuracy and proper expression
D. Development (Time Frame: 6 mins.)
To begin with, read and analyze the ideas presented in the box. Then, answer the questions that follow.

A conclusion is a statement a reader makes after reading a passage in the story.

To draw a conclusion, one can use the story clues (what you read in the text) and your own
experience (what you already know) to figure out things that were not fully explained in a story. The
selection or story does not really say the answers to the questions, but you can conclude the answers from
what you read.
For us to remember, we can use the addition sentence:
Story clues
+ What I know
Conclusion
What do you think will happen if:
a. it wouldn’t rain for several days
b. you will not study diligently
Were you able to answer the questions? If yes, then, you just gave a conclusion. Let us analyze using the examples below.
• If it wouldn’t rain for several days, plants will die. (Based on the given clue, on the first part of the sentence, one can
conclude that if it didn’t rain for several days, plants will die.)
Given conclusion
• If you will not study diligently, you will get low grades. (Based on the given clue, on the first part of the sentence, one
can conclude that if you will not study diligently, you will get
Given conclusion low grades.)
A. If you see an empty plate of cookies and then you see a toddler with crumbs on his face, you can give a conclusion
that he ate the cookies even though you did not see him do it.

In the text, first you have to read the passage because that’s where the clues are. Next, you have to search for clues like
the crumbs on the toddler’s face or what you can directly see or in the case of a text, what the author directly tells you.
Lastly, using logic, reasoning and prior knowledge, you can already give or draw a conclusion.

A. Lyle was excited as she looked outside her window. Dark clouds had blocked out the sun. A strong wind was blowing
through the trees. She heard thunder off in the distance.

Now, let’s look at the clues or what the author directly told us.

There were clouds there was a strong wind Lyle heard thunder
IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
-Now, what is about to happen when there are dark clouds, a strong wind and a thunder?
