A. Preparation
1. Performing Routinized Activities
a. Greetings
b. Prayer
c. Opening Song

2. Drill
Class, I prepared here some illustrations.
As I flash each on the screen, I want you to
identify whether the following illustrations are
similar or opposite to one another. If the
illustrations are similar to one another, make a
letter S with your hands. But if they are
opposite to one another, make a letter O.
Is that clear, class? Yes.
Let’s start.
(The teacher will flash the illustrations on
the screen.) (The learners will identify if the following
illustrations are similar or not.)

(The learners will say and make a letter O.)

(The learners will say and make a letter O.)

 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
Well done. You were all able to identify the
illustrations which are similar and opposite to
one another. Give yourselves five (5) claps. (The learners will give themselves 5 claps.)

3. Review
Before we proceed to our new lesson, let us
check first if you still remember our past lesson
about various text types by answering the
following questions.
Number 1, what type of text is written to
describe an object, person, place, event, or
idea. Who knows the answer? Yes, Reine. It is descriptive text.
Very good.
Next, what type of text discusses problem
and solution? Yes, Chris. It is problem and solution texts.
Correct.
And lastly, what text type tells the steps on
how to do something? Please answer it, Vicco. It is procedural or sequence text.
That’s right.

4. Motivation
Take a look on this picture.

What do you see in the picture, Janelle? I see an airplane.

Correct.
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
Please raise your hand if you have seen a
real airplane or if you have experienced riding
on it. (The learners who have seen a real airplane
or experienced boarding on a plane will raise
their hands.)
It seems that all of you/most of you have
seen a real airplane.
Now, I have a question. If you have given
a chance to board or ride on an airplane, where
do want to go? Yes, Rhyzen. (The student will tell the place he wants to
go.)
Why do you want to go there? (The student will tell his reason.)
How nice that place is.
I know that many of you want to travel
around the world. And, we are so lucky
because airplane is invented, that’s why
travelling in different countries became
possible.
Who do you think invented the airplane?
We will find it out in the selection we’re going
to read later.

B. Developmental Activities
1. Introduction
The title of the selection is “The First
Plane.”
Again, what is the title of the selection,
Johanna? The title of the selection is “The First
Correct. Plane.”
Kindly read, everyone. The First Plane
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
Thank you.

2. Reading of Guide Questions

Before we read the selection, here are the
guide questions you are going to answer later.
Kindly read the three questions, Bienvenido.
Thank you.
Will you read the remaining two questions,
Romela.
Thank you.
Guide Questions:
1. Who designed the first plane?
2. What happened the first day they flew the
plane?
3. What Orville and Wilbur did to make the
first plane a successful one?
4. If you were Orville or Wilbur, will you also
not give up no matter how many times
you’ve failed? Why?
5. What is the moral lesson of the selection?

3. Recalling Standards for Reading

Always remember, when reading silently,
use your eyes only, and read the selection with
understanding, Okay? Yes.

4. Reading Period
Class, I will give you 2-3 minutes to read
the selection.
Do you understand? Yes.
You may now begin. (The learners will read the selection
silently.)
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
(The teacher will monitor the learners as
they read silently.) The First Plane
The first plane was designed by Orville
and Wilbur Wright. The first day they
flew it, it didn't fly high. They knew that
the design was imperfect. The Wright
brothers were unhappy because they
failed so many times, but they didn’t give
up. Instead, they replaced their old
designs with a new one which led to a big
success. Finally, Orville and Wilbur
Wright made the first successful flight in
history.

Time is up. Is everyone done reading? Yes.

Did you understand the selection class? Yes.

5. Comprehension Check-up
Now, let us check if you really understand
the selection by answering the guide questions.
Again, raise your hand if you want to
answer.
Now, will you read and answer question
number 1, Micaella. 1. Who designed the first plane?
Orville and Wilbur Wright designed the first
plane.
Correct.
Next, who wants to read and answer
question number 2? Yes, James. 2. What happened the first day they flew the
plane?
The plane didn’t fly high.
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
That’s right.
For the 3rd question, please read and answer
it, Ciehl. 3. What Orville and Wilbur did to make the
first plane a successful one?
To make the first plane a successful one,
they replaced the old designs with a new one.
Exactly.
Question number 4, if you were Orville or
Wilbur, will you also not give up no matter
how many times you’ve failed? Why? Will
you try to answer the question, Lawrence. If I were Orville or Wilbur, I will also not
give up because, if you do not give up, you will
succeed.
Very good.
And for the last question, what is the moral
lesson of the selection, Kyle? The moral lesson of the selection is to not
give up until you reach you goals.
Well said.

6. Language Skill Development

I got here some sentences from the
selection that we read a while ago. Kindly read
the sentences, Alexa.
Thank you.
• They knew that the design was
imperfect.
• The Wright brothers were unhappy
because they failed so many times.
• They replaced their old designs with a
new one.
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
Will you tell the class, what are the
underlined words in the sentence, Alvin. The underlined words are imperfect,
unhappy, and replaced.
That’s right.
Now, I want you to look at this word.
imperfect
What was added at the beginning of the
word perfect? Yes, Dion. im- was added at the beginning of the word
perfect.
Correct.
Next, look at this word.
unhappy
What was added at the beginning of the
word happy? Yes, Ysabelle. un- was added at the beginning of the word
happy.
That’s right.
Lastly, look at this word.
replace
What was added at the beginning of the
word place? Yes, Kyle. re- was added at the beginning of the word
place.
Correct.
Class, the group of letters that were added
at the beginning or before the words are called
prefixes.

P
R imperfect
E
F unhappy
I
X
E
replaced
S
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
While, the words such as perfect, happy,
and placed are called root words.
R
P O
R imperfect O
E T
F unhappy
I W
O
X replaced R
E
S D
S

Did you get it class? Yes.

Again, prefixes are located or found at the
beginning of root words.
Now, based on our simple explanation,
who can define prefix? Yes, Chris. Prefix is composed of letters added at the
beginning of a root word.
Very good.
Now, everybody read. Prefix is composed of letters added
before a root word.
Thank you.
Today, we are going to discuss the 3 most
common prefixes such as un-, re-, and im-.
Are you ready to know each prefix and
their meaning? Yes.
Good. Let’s start then.
Kindly read the sentence, Mara. Smoking is unhealthy for your body.
Thank you.
Now, look to the highlighted word
unhealthy. What do you think is the root word
of unhealthy? Yes, Yoshero. The root word of unhealthy is healthy.
That’s right.
And what is the prefix used, Dion? The prefix used is un-.
Good.
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
What do you think is the meaning of the
word unhealthy? Will you try Kyle. Unhealthy means not healthy.
Very good. So that means, smoking is not
healthy for your body.
Class, always remember that prefix un-
means not or opposite of.
Is that clear? Yes.
Again what do prefix un- means, Bien? Prefix un- means not or opposite of.
Exactly.
Please read everybody. Prefix un- means not or opposite of.
Thank you.
When prefix is added to a root word, the
meaning of that word will change. Thus, we
need to do structural analysis or we have to
break words into parts so that we can get the
meaning of words.
Let’s try this one. Will you read the word,
Chris. ROOT
WORD PREFIX MEANING
WORD

unsafe
(The learner will read the word in the chart.)
Thank you.
The prefix of unsafe is un-. Now, what is
the root word of unsafe, Mina? The root word of unsafe is safe.
Correct.
Now, will you give the meaning of unsafe,
Cesar. The meaning of unsafe is not safe.
Very good.
Is everything clear about the prefix un-? Yes.
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
Okay. Let’s now move to prefix re-. Kindly
read the sentence, Lovely, You have to redo your project in
Science.
Thank you.
The highlighted word is redo.
What do you think is the root word of redo?
Yes, Paolo. The root word of redo is do.
Correct.
Who among you knows the meaning of
redo? Will you try, Nana. Redo means do again.
Very good.
So that means, you have to do again your
project in Science.
Remember, prefix re- means “again”.
Is it clear? Yes.
Again what do prefix re- means, Bien? Prefix re- means again.
Correct.
Please read everybody. Prefix re- means again.
Thank you.
Here is another example of word with
prefix re-. Will you read the word, Benny. ROOT
WORD PREFIX MEANING
WORD

replay
(The learner will read the word in the chart.)
Thank you.
What is the prefix, root word, and the
meaning of the word replay? Yes, Mara. The prefix is re-, the root word of replay is
play, and its meaning is to play again.
Exactly.
Is everything clear about the prefix re-? Yes.
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
Okay. Then, let’s proceed to prefix im-.
Kindly read the sentence, Avi. It is impolite to talk while the
teacher is discussing.
Thank you.
The highlighted word is impolite.
What do you think is the root word of
impolite? Yes, Kael. The root word of impolite is polite.
Correct.
What is the meaning or the opposite of the
word impolite? Will you try, Nana. Impolite means not polite
Very good.
So it means that, it is not polite to talk
while the teacher is discussing.
Before we do further discussion about the
prefix im-, I have a question first. Do you think
being polite is important? Yes.
If yes, in what way do you show politeness,
Jen? I use “po” and “opo” when I am talking to
my parents.
Nice answer.
How about the others? In what way do you
show politeness? Yes, Kevin. I always respect and listen to my parents.
Well said.
Keep in mind to be polite all the time. That
simple greetings like good morning, to our
teachers and parents is also an act of politeness.
I hope you practice that.
Now, going back to our lesson, prefix im-
also means not or opposite of.
Again what do prefix im- means, Joy? Prefix im- also means not or opposite of.
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
Correct.
For additional information, prefix im- is
used only for root words that begin with letter
b, m, and p.
Please read everybody.
Prefix im- also means not or opposite of
but it is only used for root words that
begin with b, m, and p.
Thank you.
Here is another example of word with the
prefix im-. Will you read the word, Gabby. ROOT
WORD PREFIX MEANING
WORD

imbalance
(The learner will read the word in the chart.)
Than you.
Now, let’s try to complete the chart.
What is the prefix used, root word, and
meaning of the word imbalance, Mina? The prefix is im-, the root word of
imbalance is balance, the - and the meaning is
not balance.
Very good.
Is everything clear about prefix im-? Yes.
Now that you know the use and meaning
of prefix un-, re-, and im-, we will do a simple
activity for you to master the skill well. Here,
I will show you some words with prefix, and
you only need to give their meaning. Is it clear
class? Yes.
Let’s begin.
(The teacher will show words with prefix.) (The learners will give the meaning of the
words.)
 Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
Good job, everyone.
Do you understand our lesson today? Yes.
That’s good.
I hope you learned something today.

C. Generalization
Based on the lesson that we studied, who
can define prefix? Yes, Arnie. Prefix is composed of letters added before a
root word.
Very good.
Next, what are the three common prefixes
that we discussed today, Jodie? We discussed today the prefix un-, re- and
im-.
Correct.
Lastly, what do you mean by prefix un-, re-
and im-, Chris? Prefix un- means not or opposite of. Prefix
re- means again. While, prefix im- also means
not or opposite of but it is only used for root
words that begin with b, m, and p.
Excellent.
