Let us first read our lesson learners must be able to:
Objectives:
a. classify the different
types of cohesive devices;
b. use appropriate
cohesive devices in a
paragraph; and
c. realize the importance
of using cohesive devices in a
speech.

Class, what was our previous topic last “Ma’am, our previous topic was
 Review meeting? all about using cohesive
devices.”

Okay, Thank You. Very Good!

So, why is using cohesive device important “Ma’am, using cohesive device
in writing? in writing is important because
it makes our writing coherent
and logical”

Very good, that is correct!

Okay, Very good! That is correct. Last time, Ma’am, through repetition of
we also discussed about the elements of a words or ideas, use of
story, who can recall what are those? synonyms, use of pronouns or
determiners, and use of
transitional devices
Very good! That is correct. It seems like
you already understand our previous topic.
A. Lesson Proper This time, before proceed to our new topic,
a. Activity let’s have a game first entitled “Arrange Me!”

“Everyone, please read the game mechanics”

Game mechanics:
 The class will be
divided into two groups
and arrange the cards
which contain a word
into a correct sentence.
 The first group to get
the correct answer will
get the point.

Sentence to arrange: Do you

want an orange juice or a guava
juice?

Did you have fun? Yes, Ma’am

b. Analysis In today’s discussion, we will continue to

discuss about the two more types of
conjunction and the different type of texts.

Students volunteer to answer

Students are reading

Ma’am, she told her teacher

 What is the dialog all about? that she was in her house since
 What is the concern of Anna’s parents the day that the government
in enrolling her to class this school declared that it is not safe to go
year? out.
  How did Mrs. Cruz convince Anna
and her parents to attend school?

Now that we know what they talked about, let

us look closely the cohesive devices used in
this conversation. Let us first define what is a
cohesive device.

Cohesive devices are words or phrases that

help to connect your ideas and make your
writing more coherent and logical. Ma’am, without those words,
the statement seems choppy and
Going back to the dialogue between Anna and disconnected.
her adviser,
 In the first response of Anna, how did Ma’am, it is important for us to
she explain to her teacher about her be understood by the readers as
whereabouts during the present situation? well as for clear presentation of
 The use of “since” expresses time ideas.
describing when she started to stay
inside their house. It can also express cause or
reason like in the statement,"Since we have
internet at home, I think I can do online.”
 In the response of Mrs. Cruz
regarding Ana attending school, how
is the word “although”used?
 Although in the sentence expresses
reason and provide an option to
answer the problem mentioned in the
situation.

Try deleting the words despite and

although, what do you think will
happen to the statements above?

Why is it important that our ideas are

interconnected?

Study the sentences below. These are

some responses which are taken from Ma’am, the words school and
the previous dialogue. stay were repeated.
1. Stay healthy and enjoy learning
with us.
2. Therefore, we do not have to
worry anymore.
3. However, my parents told me to
stay home and stop schooling
because they are concerned of my
safety.
 In the first sentence, the word “and”
is used to add something to the
previous idea.
 In the second sentence, the word
“therefore” is used to give or show
conclusion
 In the third sentence, the word “but”
shows contrast of ideas. Also, the
 word “because” shows reason.

Apart from using these connectors, it was also

evident that there were a couple of repetitions
evident in the dialogue. What words were
repeated?

Also, the idea of the pandemic which was

suggested by the following phrases the
situation right now and pandemic are
repeated. Thus, another way of achieving
cohesion is through repetition of ideas or
words.

This time, let us discuss more about cohesive

devices.
Cohesion in writing may be achieved through
the following means: Ma’am, afraid and terrified
1. Repetition of words or ideas. This have the same meaning.
helps to focus your ideas and to keep
your reader on track.
Example: Most people find
contemporary art difficult to
understand. Contemporary art is
purposely abstract, leaving the
viewers wondering what they are
looking at.
2. Use of synonyms for key words and
phrases. Synonyms are words that
have essentially the same meaning,
and they provide some variety of
word choices, helping the reader to
stay focused on the idea being
discussed.
Example: At the end of the run, he
was suddenly afraid. The height of
the tree terrified him.
In this example, what words are
synonymous to each other?

3. Pronouns / Determiners. This, that,

these, those, he, she, it, they, and we
are useful pronouns for referring to
something previously mentioned. Be
sure, however, that what you are
referring to is clear.
Example: Mr. Noviel Fraga is the
CEO of Fraga Fisheries and
Company. He became the CEO in
2018.
4. Use transitional devices (linkers,
conjunctions or connectors).These
are words which give cues to the
readers on the relationships between
sentences, joining sentences together.

The most common cohesive device used is the

use of transitional devices. They are
sometimes called linking words, linkers,
connectors, or transitional words. These
 are words or group of words that show the
relationship between sentences and
paragraphs of a text or speech. These are
words like ‘For example’, ‘In conclusion’,
‘however’, and ‘moreover’. We use them to
link sentences, paragraphs or any pieces of
texts. In other words, cohesive devices make
our ideas coherent, consistent and
organized.
Inappropriate use of these can affect the flow
of thoughts or ideas expressed in the
sentence.

c. Abstraction
Why is it important to use cohesive devices in
our sentences or paragraphs?
Ma’am, using cohesive devices
in our writing improves clarity,
coherence, and flow in writing,
making it easier for readers to
understand and follow the text.

Did you understand our topic for today? Yes, Ma’am

Any questions, clarifications? None, Ma’am.

d. Application Group Activity 1: Cohesive Scavenger

Hunt
Directions: The class will be divided into 4
groups. Each groups will be given set of texts
(articles, essays, etc. where cohesive devices
are used. The task of each group is to identify
and highlight the cohesive devices used in
their text present their work in front of the
class.
Text for group 1:
Since ancient civilizations
looked up at the night sky,
humans have wondered about
the stars. Although space may
seem vast and complex, the
twinkling lights above remind
us of our place in the universe.
When we gaze at the stars, we
feel small yet connected to
something bigger than
ourselves. Therefore, it’s no
surprise that people have been
fascinated by astronomy for
thousands of years. By studying
the stars and planets, scientists
learn about our world and
universe, helping us understand
where we come from and where
we’re headed.

Text for group 2:

Even when life throws us

curveballs, there’s always a
silver lining waiting to be
found. Although challenges
may seem overwhelming, they
have a way of making us
stronger and more resilient.
When faced with adversity, we
discover inner strength we
never knew we had. And
though the road ahead may be
tough, there’s always a glimmer
of hope guiding us forward. For
instance, consider the story of
Helen Keller, who overcame
incredible odds to become an
inspiration to millions. Despite
being deaf and blind, she never
gave up on herself or her
dreams, teaching us the power
of perseverance and
determination

Text for group 3:

In conclusion, education is the

key to unlocking doors of
opportunity and building a
brighter future for all. Since the
dawn of civilization, humans
have sought knowledge as a
means of understanding the
world around them. Moreover,
education empowers
individuals to reach their full
potential and contribute
positively to society. Therefore,
 it is essential that every child
has access to quality education,
regardless of their background
or circumstances. By investing
in education, we invest in the
future, ensuring a more
prosperous and equitable world
for generations to come.”

Text for group 4:

Because of the incredible

advancements in technology in
recent years, our world has
undergone a transformation
unlike any other. Consequently,
the way we communicate and
interact with one another has
changed dramatically. So that
ideas can be shared,
connections can be made, and
progress can be achieved. As a
result, we find ourselves on the
brink of a new era, where
collaboration knows no bounds
and innovation flourishes.
However, it’s important to
remember that with great power
comes great responsibility. As
we harness the potential of
technology, we must do so with
care and consideration,
ensuring that it benefits all
members of society and not just
a select few.
