of coffee.
Do you encounter Problems in your house?
What solution did you do to that problem?

4.) Unlocking of Difficulties

Let the students arrange the jumbled letters by group to unlock the
meaning of words used in the story defined.
A. The carrot was strong, hard and unrelenting= denimreted
B. The interior of the egg was hard boiled=edisni
C. The ground coffee beans were unique=laiceps
D. The egg was fragile=baerkelab
E. Gave its incredible aroma=orod
5. ) Setting and purpose of reading
Today You are going to listen to a short story about Egg, carrots, and
a cup of coffee Written by; Joan Marquez
You also identify problem-solution in the story.
What do you think the story all about?

Motivation: Motive Questions random

Ask: Looking at the title and pictures of the story,
What do you like to find out?
What do you think the mother tells to her daughter?
What problems do you encounter but you find also a solution?

A ) Setting of standards before reading :

Ask: What are the things that we should keep in mind when listening to
a story? ( call pupils to set same standards in silent reading.)

B ) During Reading (construct meaning )

(First Reading: Teacher reads the story and stops at certain portions to
ask predictions questions. Monitor comprehension using critical
thinking questions.
(second Reading: Children read the story silently.)

A Carrot, an Egg, and a Cup of

Coffee
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how
things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to
make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling.
It seemed that as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and
placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In the first she
placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed
ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes, she turned off the burners. She fished the
carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and
placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a
bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, “Tell me, what do you see?” “Carrots,
eggs, and coffee,” the daughter replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did
and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to
take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the
hard-boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee.
The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then
asked, “What does it mean, mother?”

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same
adversity—boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in
strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the
boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its
thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through
the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans
were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had
changed the water.

“Which are you?” she asked her daughter. “When adversity knocks on
your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee
bean?”

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with
pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I
the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did
I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or
some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look
the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and
hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water,
the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it
releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things
are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.
When the hour is darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate
yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot,
an egg or a coffee bean?

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to
make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope
to make you happy. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the
best of everything—they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten
past; you can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and
heartaches.

C ) Post Reading
Ask the following questions

1. ) what was the story all about?

2. )Who were the characters of the story?
3. )what is the moral of the story?
4. Did the mother insult her daughter?
5. If you Are the mother are you going to give the same advice, if you
will be a mother someday?

D ) Developing Competencies
1 .) Identifying problem-solution
Say: In the story, there were problems encountered by the different
characters and solutions. This text relationship were in problem are
describes and solutions are discussed is called problem-solutions
relationships.

Browse the selection and look for details that can fill the problem-
solution chart below.

Problem-Solution Relationship

Problem Solutions

( Teacher discusses students answers)

Which character in the story experienced this problem? What did the
mother do to solve the problem did id turned out well? Why or Why not?

2.) Engagement Activities

A. Group activity (Use organizers)
Group the students into three. Using the problems-solution chart, let
them look the problem encountered by the mother in the story. What did
the mother do to solve the problem?

Group 1

Problem Solutions
Group 2

Problem Solutions

Group 3

B. Presentation and processing of output

(Let the pupils present their output and teacher process after)

Let’s take a look the output , they able to identify the problem
experienced by the mother in the story ? Look at the solution identified
by the group. Is this solution mentioned in the story?
( Similar question will be ashed for the group 2 and 3 )

C. Restatement of the concept

What do you call the relationship wherein the problems were
described and solutions were being discussed? What is problem-
solution relationship?
(Problem solution relationship describe problems and discuss solutions
to the problem.)

D. Application
Problem-Solution Match Up!
Directions: Fill in the problem-solution organizer. Cut out possible
solutions below and paste it with the matching problems.
