III. PROCEDURE

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

A. Preparation

“Good Morning Class...” “Good Morning Sir!”

“Let us pray first...” (One Student will lead the Prayer)

(Checking of Attendance) ...say present... (Students raise their hand and say present as
the teacher calls in their name)

“Please pick up the pieces of paper under (Students pick up the pieces of paper)
your chair”

“So how was your weekend?” “It was great sir!”

“That’s good! Have you enjoyed your “Of course sir! It was a lot of fun! ”
weekend bonding with your family?”

“That’s good to know. For this morning, our “Yes sir! We love purple-colored dinosaur!”
discussion will be in relation to a family. Are
you familiar with Barney’s I Love You Song?”
“Okay that’s good, so are you ready to sing “Yes Warm Up Let we sing Barney’s I
and have fun today? Love You Song”.

“I love you, you love me and we’re a happy

family,
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to
you,
Hope you say you love me too.”

“Okay now class, What can you say about the “Sir, even though the song is very short, but I
song? Does it tell us something important guess it’s full of emotions.”
that we have already forgotten to do
nowadays?”

“How could you say so John?”
“Because sir I noticed that the song has a lot
to do with our love for our family, that the
real meaning of family is all about loving each
other, and nowadays kissing and hugging our
parents or family members are not being
practiced anymore.”

“That was a very good explanation John, you

know what class the song simply tells us
something that we should always consider for
us to keep our family or relationship with
others intact, sometimes showing
affection/love towards a person makes him
feel that he is appreciated and there will be
feeling of belonginess and love.

“What else have you noticed which made you
conclude that the song is all about love?”
“Everybody had just sung very well, it’s now
time to improve your pronunciation more...”“
“Because sir, there are so many descriptive
words in the song, the most obvious one is “I
LOVE YOU.”

B. Motivation

“What do you see in pictures A and B?”

“When was the last time you gave a gift to

your mother?”

“Why do you think there is a cake? What do

you think is the celebration?”

“Aside from giving material gifts, how else do

you show your love for your mother?”

C. Lesson Proper Presentation

Show pictures of a Mother (a) and a Cake (b) “Sir, Picture A is a picture of a Mother and
Picture B is a picture of a Cake.”

D. Discussion

“Let us read a poem and let us find out how

the children showed their love for their
mother.”

Who Loves Mother Best?

“Oh happy birthday, Mama dear.”

Sang Ben, Liz and Bess with cheer
“We love you much, we love you true.”
They kissed their mother, hugged her too.
Then quickly Ben skipped out to play
And went with playmates all the day.
Then rushed home in time to see
His sister Liz aglow with glee.
For Liz held up an ice cream cone,
Enjoying it, she sat alone.
Ben grabbed the cone, and slipped away,
So Liz cried out, “For that you’ll pay!”
Like cats and dogs the two did struggle
Each making sure to win the battle.
 They tried to push and then to pull,
While Mama almost lost her cool.
But little Bess with Mom she stayed,
She set the table, drinks she laid.
And helped to serve Mom’s friends and
guests
Now tell me, who loves Mother best?

After reading the poem, let us now answer

these questions:

“Why did Bess, Ben, and Liz kiss and hug their “Because it is their Mother’s Birthday.”
Mother?”

“Why was Liz aglow with glee?” “Because she was eating a cone of ice
cream.”

“What made Liz cry out, “For that you’ll pay?” “Liz cried out because Ben grabbed the cone
then slipped away.”

“Why did Mother almost lost her cool?” ”They tried to push and then to pull, While
Mama almost her cool.”

“Because Ben and Liz struggled.”

“Who among the three children loved their “Bess, because she helped mother to serve
Mother best? How did he/she show it?” the guests.”

“What is the best way to show your love for “The best way to show my love for my
your parents?” Explain. parents is by...”

“By kissing and hugging her.”

Analysis

(Show picture of a girl eating an ice cream)

“What do you see on the picture?” “A girl is eating a cone of ice cream.”
“What happened to Liz when she was eating “Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”
a cone of ice cream?”

“Liz was aglow with glee, answers what “Liz was aglow a glee because she was eating
happens to Liz when she eats a cone of ice a cone of ice cream.”
cream.”

This is called the effect.

Look again at the picture, “What do you “Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”
notice on Liz’s face?”

“Why was Liz aglow with glee?” “Liz was aglow a glee because she was eating
a cone of ice cream.”

Because she was eating a cone of ice cream,

answers why Liz was aglow with glee.
This is called the cause.

And that’s what we call the Cause-and-effect

relationship.

V. Assignment
Identifying CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP.

Read the short fable. Underline the CAUSE and Encircle the EFFECT.

A fox said to a crow with a piece of cheese between its beak, “If you can sing as prettily as you
sit, then you are the prettiest singer.” The fox thought that once the crow starts to sing, the
cheese would drop from her beak. But the crow carefully removed the cheese from the claws on
one foot and said, “they say you are sly, but you cannot fool me”. Not giving up, the fox
continued to praise the crow. “I wish I could hear you tell about your talents but I have to go
look for food because I’m hungry”.
