Excellent grade 4! Now put your hands together

and clap 3 times.

Thank you guys for cooperating! Now let’s

proceed to our lesson today.
Are you guys ready? Yes

If that is so, sit properly and put your hands on

your desk and listen carefully.

7.3 Presenting the topic

Now, may ask two students to rise and hold their

copy of the story.

Anyone? Don’t be afraid guys. (Raquel and Aicyn stands)

Okay, Raquel and Aicyn!

Let’s give a hand to them.

Now, what I want you guys to do is choose 1

sentence from the story “Nana the Cow” and
kindly write it on the board in a cursive manner.

Raquel writes “She likes flowers so much.”

Aicyn writes “She smelt the flowers, listened to

the birds singing and ate some green grass.”
.
Excellent! Now give Raquel and Aicyn a 5 claps!

Everybody, please read statement number 1 (She likes flowers so much)

written by Raquel.

And now please the statement number 2 written

by Aicyn.

These sentences are also called statements

wherein statement has two type; General and
Specific.

Now, can you guess the sentences that are

written on the board? Tell me which is the
example of general or specific statements?

Anyone?

Leana? I think sentence number 1, She like flowers so

much is a general statement.

Why do you say so? Because the sentence didn’t indicate what type
of flowers she likes.
Okay, let’s figure it out later.

How about statement number 2, is it a general or

specific statement?

Anyone?

Jamelyn? I think the statement number 2, She smelt the

flowers, listened to the birds singing, and ate
some green grass is a specific statement.

Why do you say so? Because the things that she is doing are
specified.
Okay, thank you for your answer, later on, we will
figure it out if your answers are correct.

Now let’s discuss what is general and specific

statements.
General statement - it is a sentence that defines
or declares some large and broad information. It
does not describe one particular event. It is
usually expressed as the general idea of a piece
of writing.

Again what is a general statement? A sentence that defines or declares some large
and broad information.
Specific Statement - refers to the exact and
precise description. It provides evidence to further
define the general idea or general statement.

Again what is a specific statement? It refers to the exact and precise description.

Now let’s study the example below:

A. The doctors are heroes of pandemic.

B. Dr. Salvador from Bataan Hospital treats
Covid-19 patient.

Let’s go back to the statements from the story that

you have written on the board.

Do you think that your classmate’s answers are Yes

correct? Based on your understanding of our
discussion.

Why do you say so?

Kristine? Because statement number one declares broad

information while statement number 2 covers an
exact and precise description.

Do you guys agree with Kristine? Yes

Excellent! Now everyone deserves a boom boom

shake shake clap.
