serve as carriers of meaning; ways by which information may be
organized, related, and delivered orally; and parallel structures and
cohesive devices in presenting information.
The learner transfers learning by composing and delivering an
informative speech based on a specific topic of interest keeping in

Let them analyze the two sentences:

1. If you will write the word fish at the end of the first parallel line, what
word should you write on the second parallel line?
2. What word should you write on the end of the first parallel line and on
the second parallel line of sentence b?
3. What do you call the underlined words of sentence a?
4. What do you call the underlined words in sentence b?

5. Do you think the two sentences have parallel structures?

6. What do you mean by parallel structures in sentences?

 Parallel structures can also be related to parallel lines which show balance
and equally the same components with the other part.

E. Abstraction:

1. Lesson Proper

Parallelism means “the construction of like ideas.” It means matching the

sentence parts to show how one idea relates to another and what ideas are
of equal importance.
The simplest form of parallelism involves two or more words in a series.
One can also make two or more phrases, two or more clauses, or two or
more sentences parallel.
Parallelism means using the same pattern of words to show that two or
more words or ideas are of equal importance.

-Divide the class into five groups and let them read and analyze two
sentences with nouns and verbs parallelism, then formulate a rule on nouns
and verbs parallelism.
