Opening Song & Prayer
Presentation
I know that you watched a variety of TV shows
and read books of different stories. We try to
evaluate an event/action into it. After reading and watching,
have you ever tried asking yourself
these questions? “Does this happen in real life?” or “Is it really
true?”
 Some of us really wonder of what we are watching or reading.
To answer these questions, let us look deeper into it.
Discussion
 It is important to distinguish the TV shows that
we are watching and the different reading
materials we are reading. If they really happen in real life or if
they are just imagination.
 Today, we will learn a new lesson about distinguishing reality
from fantasy in order to become an effective reader. Before we
proceed, let’s unlock some difficult words that we will
encounter when reading a story.
Discussion
 Dream - a series of thoughts, visions, or
feelings that happen during sleep.
 Disobedient - not doing what someone or something with
authority tells you to do: refusing or failing to obey rules, laws,
etc.
 Pandemic - an occurrence in which a disease spreads very
quickly and affects a large number of people over a wide area
or throughout the world.
 Virus - an extremely small particle that causes a disease and
that spreads from one person or animal to another.
Discussion
 Protocol - a system of rules that explains the
correct conduct and procedures to be
followed in formal situations.

 Let us now read the story.

Dodong’s Dream

In Barangay Jinalinan, there live Dodong, who is a

disobedient child. During this pandemic time, he does not listen to
his parent’s advice to follow the safety measures and precautions
such as washing hands…
Discussion
…after playing outside. He also refuses to eat fruits and
vegetables. Instead, he is fond of eating junk foods
and unhealthy foods.
One peaceful night, he dreamed of a monster named Covido. It
was a virus that could harm a person whom he touched and talked
with. “Oh, please don’t come near me. I promise I will be a good
child and I will obey my parents.” Dodong was trembling and
crying out of nervousness. He was searching for the alcohol to let
the monster away from him. Unluckily, he could not find the
alcohol or…
Discussion
…sanitizer. Covido was coming near him trying
to reach and hug him.
Suddenly, when Dodong opened his eyes and wiped his sweat in
his forehead, he just realized that he was just dreaming. This time,
he did the sign of the cross and prayed. He thanked God for
keeping him and his family safe during this pandemic. Then, he
promised that he will follow his parent's advice in observing and
following the protocol to stop the spreading of COVID 19.
Discussion
1. What is the title of the story you have read?
2. Who are the characters in the story?
3. Do you really think that the story happens
in real life? Why/why not?

 A reality refers to a situation that may happen in real life.

Some of the examples of reality are;
1. Today’s crisis that affects the people is the COVID 19.
2. If you study your lessons very carefully, you will surely pass
the exam.
Discussion
 The sample sentences above shows reality
because they can actually happen in real
life setting.
 The next one that we are going to discuss is
fantasy. It refers to any situation that is magical or a make-
believe that could not happen in real life.

 Examples of fantasy are;

1. I can fly using my new pair of shoes.

will be gone if he will blow it away.

impossible to happen and it is just an imagination.
