WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW?

In this lesson, you will study and understand how to find the meaning of unfamiliar
words using context clues, how to infer feelings and traits of characters in a story read, and
how to identify and use collective, concrete, and abstract nouns. As you go through this lesson,
remember to search for the answers to the following essential questions:

How can you show your love, respect and appreciation to your mother?

LET’S TRY THIS!

ACTIVITY NO 1: Using the bubble map, write words that you can associate with the word
“Mother”.
Process Questions:

1. What is the role of a mother?

____________________________________________________________________________

2. How do you describe a mother’s love?

____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________

A mother takes the role of a manager for the family, a teacher for her children, the
world's best chef, a household nurse, a financial controller, and many more. One of the
meaningful roles that a mother play is to nurture her children. When a mother nurtures her
children well, love and goodness are awakened in the children’s hearts. Because of our
mother’s love, we learn to love as well, and we feel God’s love more profoundly.

DO YOU KNOW?
The words “mom,” “ma,” or “mama” are pretty universal sounds for mothers because
babies’ first words typically start with the “m” sound.

In this lesson, you will learn more about finding the meaning of unfamiliar words
using context clues, inferring feelings and traits of characters in a story read, appreciating your
mother’s love by sharing her significance to your life, identifying and using collective,
concrete and abstract nouns, and writing character analysis.

Discuss

Let’s Read!
 According to Robinson (2019), “a mother is a caregiver and unconditional love giver,
housekeeper, cooker, baker, taxi driver, psychologist, doctor, and discipliner. They are the
ones who bear the burden of everything good and bad as the days grow on. They are the ones
who might get left behind; as they do so much, they don’t get as much appreciation.” But what
can we do as children, to show our appreciation to them?
Before we read our selection, let us first develop your vocabulary. Find the meaning
of the underlined word using context clues. Encircle the word that means the same as the
underlined word.
1. Other diners watched her in disgust. They revolted at what they have observed.
2. Her son, who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took her to the washroom. He was not
at all humiliated with what he was doing.
3. He combed his mother’s hair and fitted her spectacles firmly. Her eyeglasses were
about to fall.
4. The diners could not grasp the embarrassing situation. They could not understand what
was going on.
5. The old man retorted. He replied loudly so that people will hear what he said.
Now, let us read the selection below and find out how the son shows his appreciation
and love to his mother, and how it leaves lessons to the people.

Mother and Son

A son took his old mother to a restaurant for dinner. Mother, being very old and
weak, dropped food on her skirt while eating. Other diners watched her in disgust while her
son remained calm.

After the mother finished eating, her son, who was not at all embarrassed, quietly
took her to the washroom, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed her hair,
and adjusted her spectacles firmly. When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching
them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly
like that.

The son settled the bill and started to leave with his mother. At that time, an old man
amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you think you have left
something behind?” The son replied, “No sir, I haven’t.”

The old man retorted, “Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for
every mother.” The restaurant went silent.

ACTIVITY NO 2.1: After reading the story “Mother and Son”, let us check your
understanding of the lesson by answering the given questions.

1. How did the other diners react upon seeing the mother drop her food on her skirt?
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
2. What attitude did the son show when her mother dropped food on her skirt? What did he do
to help his mother?
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________

3. What is the message of the story?

____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________

Love for our mother is one of the precious and priceless gifts that we can offer. In the
story, we learned how much the son loves his mother by understanding and taking care of her.

WHAT IS IT?
Now, can you still remember what is a noun? What are the nouns that you have
encountered in the selection? ___________________________________________________
Let us read the following sentences:
1. The mother went to the class of her son.
2. My family enjoyed the vacation last summer.
3. Mother felt the coldness of the wind.
4. I turn on the radio so that my mother can listen to the music.
5. I ask my mother to give me freedom.
6. The loyalty and sincerity of my mother are much appreciated.

ACTIVITY NO 2.2: After reading the concept notes and watching the videos about concrete,
abstract and collective nouns, let us check your understanding of the lesson by doing the given
activities.
A. Underline the noun in each of the following sentences and identify if it is a Collective,

B. Determine if each of the following nouns is a collective, concrete, or abstract noun. Then,
write a simple sentence using the noun.

Collective Noun Concrete Noun Abstract Noun

1. 1. 1.

2. 2. 2.

Always remember that abstract nouns are used to denote an idea, state, a feeling, a
quality, or a characteristic, whereas concrete nouns are something that can be seen, touched,
tasted, heard, or smelled. Collective noun pertains to a group of people, place, things, or
animals.
ACTIVITY NO 3: To check and reinforce understanding of the story Mother and Son and
collective, concrete, and abstract nouns, you will synchronously play a gamified quiz at
joinmyquiz.com as facilitated by your teacher.

Process Questions:

1. In the Philippines, we have a saying that the mother is “Ilaw ng Tahanan (The Light of the
Home)”. Why is this so?
____________________________________________________________________________

2. Why should we show our love, respect and appreciation to our mother?
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________

Mothers in the Philippines are called by different names such as Ina, Nanay, Mama and
Mommy. Mothers are often called “ilaw ng tahanan,” meaning the light who brings warmth
and comfort to her family by taking good care of them, putting her family first before herself,
and protecting them the best she can as an ultimate sacrifice a mother could give to her
child. http://phildigest.jp/mothers-day/
Our mother deserves our love as she did a lot of sacrifices for us. We can show them
our love by helping then in doing household chores, assisting them in cooking the meals, and
many more.

Deepen

LET’S CONNECT!

Every mother always makes sure that their children are safe and happy. It is the love for
their child that a mother feels that drives these feelings. No one can describe in words the feeling
that a mother has toward her children. Most people do not understand unless they become a
mother themselves. Love always encourages us in any falls which come in life.

Now, let’s explore more about a mother’s love by clicking the videos or links below.

LET’S GENERALIZE!

In the selection, “Mother and Son”, we have learned that even when our mother is
already old enough and weak, they still deserve our love. They need our care and
understanding even more. This lesson is discussed in out Filipino subject we read a lot of
Filipino stories about the importance of our mother and as a child, it is our responsibility to
take care of them as they grow older. It is our time to give back to them the love and support
that they offered to us.
As children, it is your role to help your mother or your parents in doing household
chores, cooking, or assisting them in taking care of your siblings. In that way, you are not just
helping them, but you are making them happy as you show your love for them through your
service. As Ephesians 6:1-3 “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, because this is right.
Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise – that it may go
well with you and that you may have a long life.” As you serve and honor your parents, they
are not the only ones who are very much pleased, but above all, God who is very much
honored.

Myths are stories that are believed to be the origin of a practice, phenomenon, or things and
places. They impart lessons on how to live well with other people.

DO YOU KNOW?

Myths are a part of every culture in the world and are used to explain natural phenomena,
where people came from and how their civilization developed, and why things happen as they
do. At their most basic level, myths comfort by giving a sense of order and meaning to what
can sometimes seem a chaotic world.

Pineapple is considered one of the most nutritious fruits in the world, as it is loaded
with vitamins and minerals. But have you ever wondered where it came from? Before we go to
the story, let us first find out what antonyms are.
To determine the meaning of unfamiliar words, context clues are used in a sentence, in
the preceding, or the following sentence. These context clues can be words with an opposite
meaning (antonym).
Before we read our selection, let us first develop your vocabulary. Encircle the context
clues which show the antonym of the underlined word in each item.
1. Piña had become lazy, inconsiderate, and self-centered. She never showed benevolence
to others.
2. She grumbled and resented that her mother was sick. She wanted her to get well.
3. Mother felt weak and exasperated with Piña’s unending questions. She decided to get
some peaceful sleep.
4. Mother prayed to all the gods and let out a curse to Piña.
5. Piña simply vanished into thin air and appeared with many eyes.
Now, let us read the selection below and find out how the daughter treats her mother.

Why Do Pineapple Fruits Have Many Eyes?

There was once a pretty little girl called Piña, who was loved dearly by her mother to
the point of spoiling her. As Piña grew older, she had become lazy, inconsiderate, and self-
centered. Yet the mother didn’t mind her daughter’s behavior, because she wanted Piña to
depend on her forever.
One day, the mother felt ill and could not bring herself to cook food for Piña, while the
young girl kept complaining that she was hungry. This time, Piña’s mother had to be firm for
the young girl’s sake. On the other hand, Piña forced herself to go to the kitchen, grumbling
and feeling resentful that her mother was sick. The girl half-heartedly set out to cook lugaw or
rice porridge the way her mother instructed her.
While in the kitchen, Piña kept asking where her mother kept the things she needed.
“Mother, where is the rice keeper?” The mother had to shout her answer several times
over because Piña took ages before she could find whatever it was, she was looking for.
“Mother, where are the woods for the stove?”
“Mother, where’s the soup ladle?”
“Mother, where’s the salt?”
“Mother, where’s the bowl?”
To all of Piña’s questions, the sick mother had to shout at the top of her lungs, which
only made her feel worse. Feeling weak and exasperated with Piña’s unending questions, the
mother finally lost her temper and let out a curse; “Heaven forbid, Child! But I call on all the
gods to put eyes all over your face so you can see the things you’re looking for.” Tired and
weak, Piña’s mother fell asleep.
When the mother woke up, the house was dark and quiet. She called, Piña but there
was no answer. The mother willed herself to investigate where Piña could be, but she only
found the unfinished cooking task. The mother was saddened by the thought that Piña decided

LET’S GENERALIZE!

Myths are stories that are based on tradition. Some may have factual origins, while
others are completely fictional. But myths are more than mere stories and they serve a more
profound purpose in ancient and modern cultures. Myths are sacred tales that explain the
world and man's experience. Just like the story “Why do Pineapple Fruits Have Many Eyes” it
is a myth that tells where the pineapple came from. It also shows the culture of Filipinos on
how children show their love, respect and appreciation to their parents.
In Filipino subject we also learned about myth and we have read a lot of Philippine
Myths. In Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao subject, we also learned how to give respect not just to
our family but also to our elders. In the light of the lesson’s focus question “Why should you
show love, respect, and appreciation to your mother?” As Ephesians 6:1-3 “Children, obey
your parents in the Lord, because this is right. Honor your father and mother which is the first
commandment with a promise- that it may go well with you and that you may have long life.”

Showing directions is very important especially if one is looking for a place. It is also
