previous lesson or (Group of 3)
presenting the Mechanics:
new lesson 1. Players in every group write as many words as they can from
the presented word within 10 counts. They can form words by
arranging the letters or as they appear.
2. Next player will do the same but this time with a new
word
3. The last player will do the same.

The group with the most number of correct identified words wins.
Suggested words: acknowledgement, personification, transitional,
compliment…)

B. Establishing a Today, we will study another text type – enumeration. We

purpose for the will find out how it differs from the other text types that you’ve
lesson learned already. But before we discuss about it, youfirst read
aloud this paragraph.
C. Presenting
examples/instanc
es of the new
lesson

(Learner reads aloud grade level appropriate text with and

accuracy rate of 95 – 100% EN5F-IVa-1.6)

Teacher presents rubric in reading aloud.

Groups are given time to pre-read the material.

The Hertzsprung –Russel Diagram shows the three very

different types of stars. The first type is called the Main
Sequence which includes the sun. These stars are fuelled by
nuclear fusion, converting hydrogen into helium. The hotter
they are, the brighter they become. They last for about five
billion years. The second type includes the supergiants. As they
reach old age, they deplete their hydrogen supply. Their core
contracts as their outer layers expand. Eventually, they will
explode becoming nebula or supernova, then white dwarfs,
neutron stars or black holes. Third, smaller stars consequently
become white dwarfs, shrinking and depleting their nuclear
fuels, finally becoming cold, dark black dwarfs.

Questions:
1. What is the paragraph about?
2. What are the different types of stars?
3. How were these introduced?
4. In what kind of paragraph are the words usually used?

An enumeration paragraph or text lists the kinds, characters,

classes, types, parts, ways and groups of a thing or subject.
Transition/signal words used to show enumeration are the
following, in many ways, such as, first, or one, second, or next,
and so on. These are called
 enumeration.
D. Discussing new The teacher presents paragraphs and asks learners to identify the
concepts and enumeration paragraph. Thelearner explains why.
practicing new
skills #1. 1. The Earth’s surface is constantly changing through slow
processes that we don’t usually see. One is erosion. This has
worn away rocks and mountains over millions of years,
caused by air, water, and wind. Another change is caused
by earthquakes that originate deep inside the planet. More
sudden and violent than erosion, an earthquake results when
strains between Earth’s plates produce shock waves. And the
third process results when molten rock –forming material called
lava, escapes onto the surface through gaps in the crust. What
we experience is volcanic eruption.

2. Water shortage is becoming a serious problem in the city

because of the growing population. That is why the city
government has to take concrete steps to address it. One solution
is to make more water available through recycling. The building
of more desalination plants may be done but it is very expensive.
Another solution that the city officials are doing now is educating
the people so they do not waste water. Meanwhile, there is also a
move of the government to protect existing water supplies from
being polluted. There are some more ideas to help solve the
problem, but maybe, the ultimate solution is that everyone must
become actively involved.

3. As a grade five pupil, Emmanuel was already self- motivated

and directed in many ways. He would assist his mother in some
household chores and some errands. On days when there would
be no classes, he would go with his father in the farm, and would
pasture the carabao to the fields. On weekdays, he would burn the
midnight oil working on his assignments and studying his lessons.

Teacher facilitates learners in explaining why.

( by enumerating the characteristics/guidelines in writing one)
(…deals with a topic, sufficient information, enumerate types,
classes of a topic, discussion of each category/type)

C. Inspired by the poem “Dreams,” the grade five class started

to carve their dreams that they promised to achieve even if it
could take them lot of struggle.

D. Next, a few of them begged their parents to provide them

Internet at home so they could research.

E. Lastly, most of them if not all, swore to be more bookwise

about the lesson
I. Evaluate learning Tell whether the text is an enumeration paragraph or not.

(1) Birds come in all shapes and sizes, but they all have

wings and feathers. The ostrich is the largest bird. It can weigh
more than 150 kg. The smallest bird, the bee hummingbird,
weighs about 1.8 grams.
(2) All birds lay eggs. Most are busy parents who work hard to
rear their young. Some lay their eggs in other birds’ nests for
foster parents, to rear. Other birds bury their eggs and leave them.
 Most birds are wild but some, such as chickens, ducks and
pigeons have been domesticated.
(3) Balinsasayaw or swiftlet birds attach their nest in the walls
of caves. Hunters collect their nests for edible soup purposes.
With this the number of the birds dwindles.
(4) Not all birds can fly. Ostrich is known as flightless bird.
There are over 60 existing species including the well-known
ratites and penguins. The smallest flightless bird is the
inaccessible island rail.
(5) The bird’s beak or bill tells what the bird eats. Pointed beaks
usually feed on seeds. Birds with elongated beaks feed on insects.
Storks or spoonbills have long beaks with different shapes,
adapted to search invertebrates at the bottom of ponds and
marshes.
