LESSON PLAN

OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the 60-minute lesson, the learners should be able to:
● Identify what is cause and effect in the given context.
● Work collaboratively to make an output.
● Recognize the importance of learning cause and effect.

MOTIVATION:

For the motivational activity, the teacher will play the video provided. The students
will only watch and listen through their own screen.

What If We Stop Brushing Teeth? | Why Do We BRUSH TEETH? | Dr Binocs…

LESSON PROPER:

A. Preliminary Practice - Preparation

1. What is the video all about?

2. According to the video, what happens if we stop brushing our teeth?
3. Why did our teeth become yellow in color?
4. Why does tooth decay happen?
5. Is it going to happen even if we are brushing our teeth everyday?

B. Discussion of the Lesson

To begin the discussion about the Cause and Effect, the teacher will show pictures as
an example first.
 (A) (B)
Look at the first picture… Why did the girl stumble? That’s right! In the second picture,
you can see it’s because the shoelace was not properly tied.

Picture A shows the Effect and picture B shows the Cause.

The girl stumbled (Pic. A) because she did not tie her shoelace properly (Pic. B).
Next example…

Take a look at the picture. How are they related? Can you tell which happens first and
which happens next?

That's correct! The picture A shows the Cause and picture B shows the Effect.

Because it waters the plant (Picture A), it grows fast (Picture B).

Now, let us learn what is cause and effect?

The cause explains why something happens. Action or event
The effect is the description of what happened. Outcome or result

These are what you called connector words. Some are the following:
● Cause: because, since, due to, If, when
For example:
> Due to the typhoon, our class was suspended.
● Effect: so, therefore, as a result, consequently, thus, then
For example:
> My mother was tired so she rested.
But, sometimes no connector words are used.

More example:
● My sister was sick, so we took him to the hospital.
● The water glass was broken because it fell from the table.
● I was sweating because it was so hot.
● Rob woke up late, as a result he was late for his class.
● Ela forgot to bring her crayons for her art class and therefore she borrowed
from her classmate.

C. Guided Practice

Collaborative Activity
The teacher will group the students into 5 groups. Each of them will receive a paper that
contains a short story. They need to read the story first then identify the cause and effect in
the story. Write it on a piece of paper and present it in front of the class. The teacher will give
them 20 minutes to finish the activity.

The following are the short stories provide for each group:
:
Group 1 (The Boy Who Cried Wolf)
There was once a shepherd boy who liked to play tricks. One day, while he was
watching over the herd, the boy decided to play a trick and cried “wolf! wolf!”. The
people who heard rushed over to help him. But they were disappointed when they
saw that there was no wolf and the boy was laughing at them. The next day, he did it
again and people rushed to his aid only to be disappointed once again. On the third
day, the boy saw a wolf devouring one of his sheep and cried for help. But the people
who heard him thought this is just another of the boy’s pranks so no one came to help
him. That day, the boy lost some of his sheep to the wolf.

Group 2 (Lazy John)

There was a boy named John who was so lazy, he couldn’t even bother to change his
clothes. One day, he saw that the apple tree in their yard was full of fruits. He wanted
to eat some apples but he was too lazy to climb the tree and take the fruits. So he lay
down underneath the tree and waited for the fruits to fall off. John waited and waited
until he was very hungry but the apples never fell.

Group 3 (The Dod and The Bone)

Once there was a dog who wandered the streets night and day in search of food. One
day, he found a big juicy bone and he immediately grabbed it between his mouth and
took it home. On his way home, he crossed a river and saw another dog who also had
a bone in its mouth. He wanted that bone for himself too. But as he opened his mouth,
the bone he was biting fell into the river and sank. That night, he went home hungry.

Group 4 (The Hare and The Tortoise)

There was once a hare who was friends with a tortoise. One day, he challenged the
tortoise to a race. Seeing how slow the tortoise was going, the hare thought he’ll win
this easily. So he took a nap while the tortoise kept on going. When the hare woke up,
he saw that the tortoise was already at the finish line. Much to his chagrin, the tortoise
won the race while he was busy sleeping.

Group 5 (The Elephant and The Ants)

There was once a proud elephant who always bullied smaller animals. He would go to
the anthill near his home and spray water at the ants. The ants, with their size, could
do nothing but cry. The elephant just laughed and threatened the ants that he would
crush them to death. One day, the ants had enough and decided to teach the elephant
a lesson. They went straight into the elephant’s trunk and started biting him. The
elephant could only howl in pain. He realized his mistake and apologized to the ants
and all the animals he bullied.
