Chocolate Milk for Dannyby Dinah C. Bonao

“Almira, please go with your brother to the market and buy a loaf of bread for merienda,” Mother said. Along the way, Danny stopped at one of the stores. “Ate, please buy me that chocolate milk,” he said.

* Ask: Where did motherask Almira to go? Who went with Almira to the market? What did he see along the way? What word did Danny use to request for chocolate milk?

“We need to buy the bread first,” whispered Almira. She held the hand of his brother as they walked to the store. Finally, they bought the bread.

“Ate, may I have my chocolate milk now?” said Danny. *

Ask: Will Danny be able to enjoy the chocolate milk?

“Sure, I still have my change here.”

They walked home while Danny enjoyed the chocolate milk. “Were you able to buy the bread?” asked mother.

* Ask: Where did Almira get the money to buy the chocolate milk? Will Almira be honest in telling the truth about the change?

“Yes, Mother,” replied Almira, “but I’m sorry, I don’t have the exact change. I bought chocolate milk for Danny without asking your permission.”

* Ask: How will mother respond to Almira’s remark about the change?

“ I’m proud of you for telling the truth. I know how much you want your little brother to be happy,” Mother said as she patted Almira’s shoulder.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 123.

Skill Lesson: Using Action Words in Simple Sentences (2nd half)

1. Presentation/Introduction

Show pictures of Tagpi and Bantay in motion.

Say: What are Tagpi and Bantay doing?

Let the pupils observe each picture and allow them to give verbs that describe Tagpi and Bantay?

Say: Let’s have picture 1. Where is Tagpi? What is he doing? (running) Let’s have picture 2? What is Bantay doing? (playing)

Highlight pupils’ answers by writing the words on the board.

2. Modeling/Teaching

Use the pupil’s answers as springboard to the lesson about verbs.

Say: Your answers are correct. These words are called action words or verbs.

To improve the listening and speaking skills of the pupils, employ the “Teach-Ok” technique from Whole Brain Teaching. (This technique is a variation of Direct Instruction and facilitates TPR) Here’s how this is done.

1. Have the pupils count off 1 with the pupil next to him/her saying 2. Tell them you will be saying these words Class, Teach, Switch. They are to do

something after those words are said following this script for each of the sentences in the template.Teacher: ClassPupils: YesTeacher: (Says one of the sentences in the template and claps twice.) Teach!Pupils: (Clap twice) Ok!Number 1 Pupils: (Repeats to Number 2 pupils the sentence the teacher said.Teacher : Switch!Pupils: Oh! Switch!Number 2 pupils (Repeats to number 1 pupils what they said.)

3. Template of the sentences to be said one at a time using the above script for each sentence.a. Verb is an action word.b. The word “play” is an action word.c. “Play” is a verb.d. The word “run” is an action word.e. “Run” is a verb.

In doing the WBT technique, let the pupils act out the verbs whenever they mention each word. Model the gesture.

Page 19: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Say: What is verb? Is the word play a verb? (Yes) Why? (Because it’s an action word) Is the word run a verb? (Yes) Why? (Because it’s an action word)

Say: Let’s have more examples of verbs.

Flash pictures of Tagpi and Bantay and label each picture with verbs. Let the pupils read each verb.

Picture - walk (Pupils read)

Picture - eat (Pupils read)

Picture - sit (Pupils read)

Picture - eat (Pupils read)

Picture - talk (Pupils read)

Picture - think (Pupils read)

3. Guided Practice

Read and Show

Say: I will use verbs in a sentence. Read the sentence and whenever you read the verb, I want you to act it out. (Teacher models the activity)

(Sentences should be illustrated to facilitate pupil’s comprehension.)

Ana hops. The janitor cleans.

Alex sings. The scouts work.

The pupils read together. The kids dance.

The teacher writes. Ricky drives.

My pet cat plays. Raymond swims.

4. Independent PracticeSay: I will show you some pictures. Identify the verb shown in every picture by unscrambling the letters in the sentence.

Say: Let us read the following sentence-strips. Danny and Ana clean the room.Danny climbs a tree.The boys play beside the canteen.Tagpi barks.Rona walks and sings along the bay.

2. Modeling/ Teaching

Re-state the meaning of verbs.

Go back to sentences posted on the board and allow pupils to identify the verbs. Ask them why those are verbs. Be sure that the pupils say that those are verbs because they are action words.

Ask: What is the action word in the each sentence? Why do we call them action words? Ask the class to do the actions signaled by each action words. Ask: Did you show action to describe the meaning of each action word? Say: Action words are also called verbs.

Danny and Ana clean the room.Danny climbs a tree.The boys play beside the canteen.Tagpi barks.Rona walks and sings along the bay.

Say: If we are going to remove the action words, what would the group of words mean?(Emphasize that verbs play an important role in completing sentences.)

3. Guided Practice

Let the pupils have more Teacher Chart Exercises on identifying verbs.

Tagpi tumbles down on Bantay’s collection of bones.Bantay greets Tagpi.Tagbi bounces up and down around Bantay.Bantay and Tagpi play with the ball on the grass field.He drops the ball.

Refer to Refer to LM Activity 128 for the additional guided practice on using verbs in simple sentences.

Let us read these words: wood, axe, fairy and reward

We will hear these words from the story I am about to read to you.

2. Motivation:

What is your favorite toy? What would you do if you lost your favorite toy?

Elicit answers from the pupils. Write their responses on the board.

Page 26: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

3. Motive Question:

Say: The character in the story we have for this day does not have a toy he truly loves. He has a very important tool his AXE. He has been using his axe to earn a living for the family.

What if he lost his axe? What would he do? Let us find it out.

Read the story aloud .Stop at strategic points and ask questions.

The Honest WoodmanAdapted by Esperanza Diaz Cruz

Once, a poor woodman named Caloy went to the forest which was on the side of a deep river. He was working all day long and he was tired. (Demonstrate how it is to be tired.)

Suddenly his axe slipped from his hand and fell into the water. (Act it out before the pupils)

"Oh! I have lost my axe," he cried. "I have nothing to use to earn my living! What shall I do? The river is very deep and I am afraid to dive into it. Who can help me?"

Stop and Ask: Who do you think would help the woodman? How would he do it?

Faye, a good fairy, heard the poor man's cries and appeared before him."What’s the matter, poor woodman?" she asked. "Why are you so sad?"

Caloy told her what happened and Faye promised to help him.

Stop and Ask: What would the fairy do? Can you guess?

She dived into the river and brought up a golden axe. "Is it yours?" she asked.

( Ask the girls in the class to say this line “Is it yours?”)

"No, that is not mine," answered Caloy.

( Ask the boys in the class to say this line-“No, that is not mine”)

Faye dived again and this time brought up a silver axe.

"Is it yours?" she asked, ( Remind the girls to say the line-“Is it yours?”)

and Caloy again answered "No."( Remind the boys to say the line-No.)

Stop and Ask: What do you think would the fairy do?

So Faye dived a third time and this time brought up the axe that had slipped from  Caloy's hand. "That is my axe," he cried . "Now I can work again."

Page 27: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Happy with Caloy’s acts, Faye gave him the two axes as a reward.

4. Post Listening Discussion

Have the pupils discuss the story in class.

1. Who came to the forest?2. Why did he go to the forest?3. What happened to his axe? How do you think the woodman felt?4. Who helped the woodman?( Act out the scenes between Caloy and the Fairy)5. Did the woodman get the axe that was not his? Do you think Caloy did the right thing? Why do you say so?6. Why do you think Faye the fairy thought of giving the three axes to the woodman? If you were the fairy would you do that, too? Why?7. Do you think you are an honest person if you do not get the things that arenot yours? Why?

5. Post Listening Activity

Form groups of five. Say: Be creative in naming your group. Make a Certificate of Appreciation for a class member whom the group believes showed acts of honesty. Your group is expected to:

1. Give everyone a chance to make suggestions about the person/persons whom the group thinks has been so honest

2. Talk together about what the certificate should look like and what it should say.

3. Decide as a group who deserves the Certificate of Appreciation award

Certificate of Appreciation

for

_____________________________________________

for returning the_______________________

You are such an honest person.

Signed by: Write the name of each member for each one to affix his/her signature above his/her name.

4. Have a mini-program and do the actual awarding of the Certificate of Appreciation to an honest class member

Lesson 12 Day 2: Noting details in a given textReading and writing long vowel /a/ in simple stories

1. Recalling the story

Let the children study the Guide sheet. Call volunteers to read the questions.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 129 on page 151.

2. Modeling

Get-the–Details

Say: To answer these questions, we need to remember some details from the text we listened to or read about .Let us see if we remember the details from the story: The honest woodman to get answers to the questions in the guide sheet.

Elicit answers from the pupils. Post their answers on the guide sheet.

Say: Let us read your answers. The ideas you have given are the details you remember from the story. There are some simple ways of getting details.

Think about this. Details answer the who, what, when , where and how. The story itself will help you find something about the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, HOW.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 130 on page 152 for noting details activity.

Say: Details help us understand the story better. The details are the events that happened in the story. Remember to always ask yourself: Does it make sense if I give this detail for this question.

Discuss what type of detail is needed based on the type of question.

Who ( characters), when( date), where( place where the problem begins)

what ( problem),why( reasons), how ( process)

Skill Lesson: Noting Details in a Given Text (2nd half)

Page 43: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Presentation/Introduction

Let us go back to the story, “Preparing for the Big Day”

What made everybody in the house busy? What was the first thing Ana did for the big day? What were the things Ana did as written in her planner? Did she do each of them?

Elicit answers from the pupils then write each on the board.

Possible answers:

1.

2.

3.

Modeling/Teaching

Say: Now, what were the things we have written on the board?

These events make up the story plot of ‘Preparing for the Big Day’. Let us study the plot by answering the following.”

1. What do you mean by ‘plot’?

2. What does the plot provide the readers?

3. Would you be able to understand the story, without knowing the plot?

4. Why is it important to know the plot in a story?

Let the pupils generalize by reading the chart about plot.

Everybody was preparing for the big day.

Ana planned the things to be done for the big day.

1st – She cleaned the house.

2nd – She visited and invite her relatives.

3rd – She practiced a song number with her friends.

4th - Ana went to the market with her Mother.

Plot is the series of events in a story.

It provides the details of a story.

No, knowing the important details and events leads to an understanding of what the story is trying to tell us.

Aside from characters and setting, the plot is also an element of a story which presents the problem among the characters and how it is resolved.

Page 44: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

(Note: Guide the students to make this generalization at the end of Modeling/Teaching and beforeGuided Practice. It will help to have the generalization shown in a Teaching Chart for ease in reference, and for use in future lessons. )

3. Guided/Independent Practice

Now that you have learned what a plot is, I would like you to go back to the story, and creatively present its events through song and dance.

Group 1: What Ana did five days before the big day?Group 2: What Ana did four day before the big day?Group 3: What Ana did three day before the big day?Group 4: What Ana did two day before the big day?Group 5: What Ana did a day before the big day?

Lesson 13 Day 3: Giving the Main Idea of a Paragraph

Skill Lesson: Long Vowel Words Ending in Silent e: long /a/ as in bake (1st half)

Introduction

Show a picture of a boy and a picture of a candle with a flame.

Say: What is in picture A? (a boy) A boy is also called male. What is in picture B? (a candle) the candle has a flame.

Teaching Chart: Plot

Plot is the series of events in a story. It provides the details of a story. Knowing the important details and events leads to

better understanding of the story. Aside from characters and setting, plot is also an

element of a story.

Page 45: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Note: Write the word male and flame on the board.

Ask: What is the sound of /a/ in the words male and flame. Note: Let the pupils sound it three times.

ModelingFlash card drill on words with long /a/ previously learned on day 2, see teaching chart.Provide corrective feedback if necessary.

Guided Practice

Let the pupils read words with long /a/ and silent e used in phrases and in sentences.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 143 on page 162.

Independent Practice

Let the pupils list and classify the words from Activity A and B into –ame family and –ale family.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 144 on page 163.

Skill Lesson: Giving the Main Idea of a Paragraph (2nd half)

5. Review

Do you still remember the story that we read last time? I have here a ‘Ladder of Events’ graphic organizer. Recall the story Preparing for the Big Day and help Ana do her task.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 145 on page 164.

6. Presentation/Introduction

Say: Are you curious as to what the big day is in the story? What makes it so special that everybody is excited about it? Why did Ana prepare so much for it?

Now, brainstorm with your groupmates. Make a guess about what the ‘big day’ is. Be able to share the idea of the group with the class.

As the groups share their guesses, write on the board the guess of each group. Later in the lesson, you may refer to it to determine which group made the correct guess.

7. Development of the Lesson

Say: Let us read the story and find out what is the big day Ana referring to.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 146 on page 165.

Page 46: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Let us answer the following:

1. What “big day” was the story talking about?2. Why do you think Ana prepared so much for her father’s homecoming?3. Where do you think her Father came from? What was his job?4. Have you ever experienced missing someone? Who is she/he?5. What makes you miss someone?6. If you were Ana and you did not see your Father for quite a long time, would you

also do what Ana did?7. If you were Ana’s father, how would you feel?

This time, let us help Ana find her way to her Father by identifying the things she did in preparation for his homecoming.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 147 on page 166. Why do you think Ana did everything she did for her Father’s homecoming?

The Big DayBy Ivy M. Romano

A man stood by the gate along with huge bags. He looked taller. He seemed very familiar. Everyone around started to clap his hands. Everybody was happy and excited seeing the man.

The man smiled at Ana. She pinched herself, not believing what she saw.

Teary-eyed, the man walked toward Ana who stood still. He grabbed Ana’s hands and hugged her with so much joy.

Tears rolled down Ana’s face.

“Father, you really are home!” she exclaimed.

Page 47: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

What does the story tell us?

Write on the board the best answer that can be elicited from the pupils. Let them read it and tell them that it is the theme of the story. Then, ask the idea of the class about story theme.

Say: Let us talk about the ‘theme’ by answering the following questions:

What does ‘story theme’ mean? What details of the story should you consider to help you identify the theme? It is possible to have several themes in a story?

Discuss another theme of the story for the pupils to understand that a story can have several themes. You may add the themes such as a daughter’s longing for her father, a daughter’s love for her father, excitement on father’s homecoming, a father’s longing for her daughter, missing a parent, etc.

8. Independent Group Activity

Can you think of another theme of the story The Big Day? Work with your group mates. Be able to present as follows the theme you brainstormed about:

Group 1: ChantGroup 2: PosterGroup 3: SongGroup 4: Short skitGroup 5: Poem

Lesson 13 Day 4: Grammar

Skill Lesson: Long Vowel Words Ending in Silent e: long /a/ as in bake (1st half)Materials: flash cards of words with long /a/ sound and silent e, pocket chart

1. Flash words with long /a/ sound and silent e under –ame and –ale family (see teaching chart). Ask volunteers to read each word. After each word is read, ask the pupils to display the word card/flash card under its word family in the pocket chart.

4. Read the story Kale. Use the Stop and Read approach. Whenever the teacher stops, the pupils continue. See a copy of the text in the LM. The underlined words will be read by the pupils.

Generalization:

Theme gives the idea that is central to a story. It tells what the story is mostly about. It often gives a sense of value that is likely appealing to the readers. A story can have more than one theme.

Page 48: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 148 on page 167.

Note: After group reading, ask volunteers to read the entire story. 5. Activity

A. Let the pupils answer WH- questions about the story KaleB. Let the pupils make a list of their daily schedule in their notebook.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 148B-C on page 168. Skill Lesson: Forming and Using the Past Tense of Frequently Occurring

Regular Verbs (-ed) (2nd half)

1. Presentation/Introduction

Say: Let us study the table below by answering the following question.(The table below must be presented on the board for the pupils to see it.)

A B

Classes start at 6:00 o’clock in the morning.

Yesterday, our class started earlier than the usual.

I want to come to school early. Last Monday, I really wanted to be the first to arrive in school.

I clean our classroom every day before everyone arrives.

A month ago, Mikka and I were the one who cleaned our classroom.

What are the italicized words in column A? What does each tell? Are there clues that tell when the actions happened? What are they? What time of action does each clue word or expression signify? What have you noticed about the action words in column B? What time of action does each signify? What clues tell that the actions were already done in the past? How do we form the past of regular verbs?

Say: Let us work in pairs. List down two common verbs you know.

As the pupils share their output, write on the board the verbs by sorting them as to regular and irregular verbs (e.g. jump and run). Ask the class to form the past of the regular verbs they listed.

2. Modeling/Teaching

During the discussion, for better understanding, lead the pupils to arrive at the following ideas:

Page 49: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

A verb is a word that mentions an action. It tells you to move or do something. However, there are some verbs, which do not require you to move like think, remember, etc.

The activities that you do every day and those you do habitually express present time.

The activities that you have done before the actual time of speaking express past time.

Regularly occurring verbs form their past by adding –ed at the end such as ask-asked, clear-cleared, repeat-repeated, etc.

If time permits, you may also discuss the pronunciation of the last two letters (-ed), in asked (t), cleared (d), and repeated(ed) by providing more examples and letting the pupils read them.

-ed sounded as /t/ -ed sounded as /d/ -ed sounded as /ed/

asked cleared acted

helped frightened added

invited

3. Guided Practice

Say: Let’s pretend that we are in a birthday party. Let us play a game using a party hat. Think of an action word then write it on the party hat(front side). On cue, each should pass the hat to the person on the right and have him/her write its past form on the back part of the party hat and say the word aloud or write /d/, /t/ or /Id/ after the past form of the verb.

Make a Party Hat as illustrated below:

Front Back

Page 50: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

For modeling, do the first trial. Limit the time of the pupils in doing the activity. After which, collect the party hat and tell whether the past from of the regularly occurring verb is correct. If it is not, ask/guide somebody to make the necessary correction.

4. Independent Practice

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 149 on page 169.

Instruct the pupils to write five simple sentences that tell what Gab did in the past based on the planner.

Lesson 13 Day 5: Decoding/Fluency/Writing

Skill Lesson: Use appropriate punctuation marks (?)Write at least three sentences from various familiar sources(interrogatives)

1. Presentation/Introduction

Say: Let us look at the picture.

Have you ever experienced attending a birthday party? What common things can you find there? How do you feel about attending a birthday party?

If the class has no idea what a birthday party is or none of the pupils has been to such, direct the class by showing pictures or things that can be found in there, and then tell them the things that children do in a birthday party.

2. Modeling/Teaching

Say: Do you know that you cannot just simply attend a birthday party without being invited? The birthday celebrator usually gives out invitation to those s/he wanted to be present in her/his party.

Now, let us take a look of what I have here.

For the illustrator

Draw here a typical birthday party including happy children in their party hat holding balloons, the birthday celebrator’s blowing the candles in her cake, etc.

October 9, 2014

Dear Gab, Hi! I will be turning eight on October 13. My mother

plans to prepare a simple party for me in our house. The fun will start at 1:00 in the afternoon.

I will be happy if you could join us in celebrating this very special day.

Thanks, Lani

Page 51: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

What occasion is reflected in the invitation? Who will be celebrating her birthday? When is Lani’s birthday? Where will she have her party? For whom is the birthday invitation? Why do you think Lani wanted to be with her friends on her special day? What do you think is Gab’s gift for Lani? If you were Gab, would you take a gift with you for Lani? Why? What important details should we remember in writing a birthday

invitation?

During the asking and answering questions about the given text, write some questions in the Q & A Chart, as well as the response of the pupils.

Say:Let us study the Q & A chart we made while we were talking about the Birthday Invitation Card above by answering the following.

When do we ask ‘what’ questions? What is the expected answer for ‘what’ questions? When do we ask ‘who’ questions? What is the expected answer for ‘who’ questions? When do we ask ‘when’ questions?

Q & A Chart

Questions Answers

What occasion is reflected in the invitation?

Who will be celebrating her birthday? Lani

When is Lani’s birthday? October 13

Where will she have her party? At their house

Why do you think Lani wanted to be with her friends on her special day?

She wants to have some fun.

Teaching Chart: Interrogatives

What- for thingsWho-for personsWhen-for timeWhere-for placesWhy-for reasons or causesHow-for manner

Page 52: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

What is the expected answer for ‘when’ questions? When do we ask ‘where’ questions? What is the expected answer for ‘where’ questions? When do we ask ‘why’ questions? What is the expected answer for ‘why’ questions?

Say: We ask question whenever we want/request for information. The information may be provided in the form of a response or an answer.

We start our question with What if we want to know an object, idea, or action.

We start our question with Who if we want to know a person/s.

We start our question with When if we want to know the time.

We start our question with Where if we want to know the place.

We start our question with Why if we want to know the reason.

(You may also include the How in the discussion.)We start our question with How if we want the answer the manner of a certain act.

3. Guided Practice

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 150 on page 170.

Say: This time, let us try writing/making question. Unlike the first one we did, answers are given; try to write the question that would give the answer on the right.

4. Independent Group Practice

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 151 on page 170.

Say: By group, construct three basic wh-questions using any of the given stimuli.

Birthday card School announcement Warning along the street

Use genuine birthday cards, school announcements, and warning signs that can be found inside the school premises so that the pupils can relate and attentively participate.

Unit 2: Week 5 (Lesson 14)Fast Forward

Pre-Reading

1. Unlocking/Vocabulary & Concept Development(clock, moved fast, hour hand , fast forward, and chimed)

(Note: When introducing new words/expressions, have word or phrase cards ready. Once the words are used orally, show the word/phrase card and help children read it aloud. Tack the card on the board to use for review later. At the end of the lesson, add the vocabulary cards to your Word Tree and leave them there as long as there is space so children can practice reading them.)

Show a picture of a clock. Use it to unlock the words moved fast, hour hand and fast forward. Say: This is a clock. What do you see in the clock? How many hands does it have? Point at the hour hand; Point at the second hand. Which moves faster?

Show a real clock. Use this to unlock the word wink and chimed.

Say: This is a clock. What does the clock tell us? How many hands do the clock has?What does the long and thin hand tell us? How about the other long hand? What about the short hand?

What time do you go to school? Let us say that your call time in school is 7 o’clock. You saw the clock that it is almost 7. What would you feel? What will you do?

Say: Let us see if you remember the words we learned today.

Refer the pupils to LM Lesson 14-Activity 1 on page ____ for the word review exercise.

2. Motivation QuestionWhat do you do so that you will not be late in going to school?

3. Motive Question

What did the grasshopper do so that he won’t be late to school?

(Note: Instead of the Motivation Question-Motive Question tandem, you can use semantic mapping as an alternative strategy. Write the word clock on the board. Have children think of words that come to their mind when they hear the word clock. Write their answers as strands around the word, as shown in the figure. Then say: In the story I will read to you, Slick the grasshopper was almost late for school. Find out what father did to teach him how to manage his time.)

Fast Forwardby Leah N. Bautista

“Classes will start late tomorrow.” Slick jumped with joy. He said, “I need not hurry. I’ll take it easy. I have lots of time to get things done.” So he played with his friends in the yard. They talked and had fun until dinner time.

“Uh-huh,” Slick’s father said. “Look at the clock’s long minute hand. Fast forward it goes. It warns us that time flies by fast. So do first what has to be done while you have time to do it.” He cleaned the Grandfather’s clock which chimed ten times.

Slick did not listen. Later, he had to move fast forward like the minute hand of the clock. He worked fast on his homework to get it done. He had to get up early and dress up fast hoping he would not miss the school bus.

But the bus was gone so Slick skipped breakfast and walked fast forward to school so he would not be late.

Tired and hungry Slick said, “The lesson I learned today so we need not move fast if we just manage our time well and do first things first.”

Lesson 14 Day 2: Decoding/Fluency/Writing

Review of Decoding Lessons Taught in Grade 2(These include CVC words with long i, and sight words for pre-primer, primer, and Grade 1 levels of the Dolch Basic Sight Words list. The exercises in this lesson also sometimes include vocabulary words learned in the literature lesson in Day 1. Two-syllable words containing two CVC pattern are also used. For this purpose, it would be good to have flashcards for each of the sight words and for the phonics word families).

1. Start with a flashcard drill of long I words as shown in LM, Lesson 154. Review their meanings, as needed.

A. Have the children read aloud the words in A, by columns. Then call on the whole class, small groups, and individual children to read a column of words at a time. If needed, you can model how a word should be read. Note that the vowel i in the word pine is given the a long i sound.

B. Do the same with the phrases in B. Ask questions to see if pupils know the meaning of the phrases.

C. Say: Do you have a bike? Do you also fly kite? Have the pupils pair off and take turns reading and answering questions with their partner. Now we will read a story about a boy riding on a bike and flying a kite.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 154D. Have alternate oral reading of the story. Start by reading the first stanza, and then have the class read stanza 2; the boys read stanza 3 and the girls read the last stanza. Then have the whole class read the entire poem.

Discuss the story using the comprehension questions on to LM Activity 154D.

Add more questions as needed.

D. Say: In the peom, the boy rides a bike and at the same time flies a kite. Is it right to ride a bike and fly a kite at the same time? Do you also ride a bike? Do you like to fly a kite?Which do you prefer? Draw and write a sentence about what you like. Have the pupils do the activity in to LM Activity 155. Ask pupils to share their drawings and sentences after they are done.

Lesson 14 Day 3: Decoding/Fluency/WritingSequencing/Retelling

Skill Lesson: Decoding/Fluency/Writing

1. More Review of Decoding Lessons Taught in Grade 2

Have a flashcard drill of selected sight words as shown in to LM Activity 156A. Note that the word basket, which has a CVC-CVC pattern, is also included. Again, give opportunities for the pupils to read the words on sight, from whole class, small groups, and individual children. If needed, model how a word should be read, especially the words around, funny, happy, and basket. Point out that don’t is a short version of do not.

Discuss their meanings, as needed.

Page 60: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

A. Do the same with the phrases in B and with the sentences in C. Ask questions to see if pupils know the meaning of the phrases.

Skill Lesson: Sequencing/Retelling

(Materials: Pictures showing 3 events from The Fast Forward)

1. Presentation/Introduction

Show the pictures one at a time, in random order. Ask what is happening in each picture. Say: Remember the story we read yesterday? Here are some pictures showing events from the story. Look at each picture. Tell what is happening in the picture.

2. Modeling/Teaching

Say: The pictures do not show the correct order in which the events happened in the story. Which picture shows what happened first? Which picture shows what happened next? Which picture shows what happened last? Let us arrange them in the correct order

3. Modeling/ Teaching

Allow pupils to arrange the pictures of the events in order.

Say: Now we can use the pictures to help us retell the story. Let us use Picture 1 to tell what happened.Do the same with the next two pictures. Guide the children in answering the questions so they come up with sentences similar to the following

Picture 1 First, Slick stayed up late chatting and playing with his friends.

Picture 2 Next, Father Grasshopper cleaned his grandfather’s clock to teach his son a lesson.

Picture 3 Finally, Slick went home tired and hungry. He now learned his lesson to “do first things first”.

(Note: Guide the students to make this generalization at the end of Modeling/Teaching and beforeGuided Practice. It will help to have the generalization shown in a Teaching Chart for ease in reference, and for use in future lessons on sequencing. )

Slick stayed up late chatting and playing with his

friends. Event 1

4. Guided Practice

Group the pupils with 10 members each. Let each group show three scenes from the story “Fast Forward” through a tableau. Let one member retell the story using the three scenes formed. Make sure that the scenes are presented in the correct order.

5. Independent Practice

Refer the pupils to to LM Activity 157A.

A. Say: How do we arrange or retell events in a story in the right order? Let’s read the tips inside the box.

Help the children read the reminders.Read to the children the instructions for the sequencing exercise.Point out where they should write the number of the event.

B. When the children have numbered all the events, call on them to retell the story using the pictures. Have one child retell what happened in each event.

End the activity by having the children repeat the tips for sequencing and retelling.

Lesson 14 Day 4: Decoding/Fluency/Writing

Skill Lesson: Reading and Writing Words with Long /i/

1. Presentation/Introduction

Say: Do you still remember the story “Fast Forward”? Who was the main character in the story? What are the things he did?

2. Modeling/Teaching

Teaching Chart: Sequencing

How do we tell events in a story in the right order? First, we think of what happened in the beginning. Next, we think of what happened in the middle.Then we think of what happened at the end.

Page 62: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Say: Read the word under the picture. Model how the word should be read. Let us spell chime: c-h-i-m-e. Point to the letters as you do so. What is the vowel in the middle? What is the sound of iin chime? Read the word again.

Read the following sentences and present the flashcard of the highlighted word as you say it then put each word in the pocket chart or board.

The grasshopper has a clock with a chime.The clock chimed nine times at night.

Say: Read all the words in the pocket chart. What happened to the clock at night? (chimed) Get the word card. Read it When did the clock chime? (night) Get the word card and read it..How many times did the clock chime at night? (nine) Get the word card. Read it.

3. Guided Practice

Present the Teaching Chart for the words with long /i/.

Make sure that the pupils know the meaning of each word through vocabulary development activities such as pictures, action, and context.

After initial reading and vocabulary study, provide practice in reading the words, through flashcard drills, or teaching charts. Have the pupils read words by word families first before presenting them with various combinations of words.

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 158D.

Have children do Exercise D, then read the words aloud after they have completed them.

Game: Word Bingo

Prepare a 3 x 3 grid like the one shown below on the board.

2. Modeling/Teaching

Say: Read number one in column A. Read number one in column B. Which is longer? A1 or B1?Which tells a complete thought? Let’s read B1 again. What else do you notice about B1? (B1 begins with a capital letter and ends with a period.) This is what you call a sentence. A sentence gives a complete thought.

Write the word sentence on the board and have children read it.

Say: Is A1 a sentence? Why not? Does it say a complete thought like B1? Does it begin with a capital letter? Does it end with a period? So, is it a sentence? This is what you call a phrase. A phrase doesn’t give a complete thought.

Write the word phrase on the board and have children read it.

Read the group of words. Write P if is a phrase, S if it is a sentence.

1. played with his friend2. had fun until dinner time3. He worked fast on his homework.4. Slick, The Grasshopper, jumped with joy.5. He cleaned the Grandfather’s clock.

Have the pupils give the generalization:Ask: What is a phrase? What is a sentence? See the teaching chart about phrase and sentence. Help the students read the Teaching Chart.

3. Guided Practice

Present the following phrases. Combine them to make a sentence.

A B1. Slick, the Grasshopper, a. chimed ten times2. Grandfather’s Clock b. manage our time well3. We just c. jumped with joy4. But the bus d. talked and had fun5. They all e. was gone

Say: Give now the sentences that you have formed.1. Slick, the Grasshopper jumped with joy.2. Grandfather’s Clock chimed ten times.3. We just manage our time well.4. But the bus was gone.5. They all talked and fun.

Say: Look at the sentence. Does it give a complete thought?Yes, it does. But there is something wrong with the sentence. Can you tell?What should we do to make it correct?

(Make the word “the” begin with a capital letter. Add a period at the end of the sentence.)Now let’s choose the verbs in the given sentences. How do the words end? What did we add? (We add d or ed to the simple form of the verb to form its past tense.)

Teaching Chart

A phrase doesn’t have a complete thought. It doesn’t end with a punctuation mark.

A sentence has a complete thought. It ends with a punctuation mark like period (.), question mark (?) or exclamation point (!).

Page 65: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Say: Read the following sentences. Do they give complete thought? How are the verbs written to show that the action took place in the past? 1. thousands of years ago, the early Filipinos lived in caves2. they hunted wild animals with their bows and arrows3. they cooked food by roasting them4. sometimes they picked fruits5. they used the leaves of plants for medicine

Divide the class into two groups. Each group will combine phrases to make sentences. The sentences should make sense. Each sentence should begin with a capital letter and end with a period.

Match A with column B to form a sentence. Write the sentences correctly. Usecapital letters and punctuation marks if needed.

GROUP IA B

1. nita cleaned a. the trash in a pit2. she buried b. their yard3. thousands of years ago c. some vegetables in the garden4. maria gathered d. some people lived in caves5. last Saturday e. I scrambled eggs for breakfast

GROUP IIA B

1. Yesterday, Father a. the yard2. He cleaned b. the plates3. I washed c. stayed at home4. She counted d. the ripe guavas they picked5. Romy and Bert walked e. to school together last Monday

Have groups present their outputs. Guide the class in giving feedback on whether the sentences formed make sense.

4. Independent Practice

Refer the pupils to LM Activity 159.Guide them to read the strategy for differentiating between phrases and sentences before they do the exercise.

Infusion of Values/Collaborative Work (15 min)(Materials: recyclable materials available in the classroom like plastics, papers, bottle etc.)

1. Introduction/Presentation

Review part of the story “Fast Forward” that focuses on the crow’s resourcefulness.

Say: In our story “Fast Forward,” What was the problem of Slick? What did his father do to solve Slick’s problem? Did it help him solve the problem? We say that father is resourceful. To be resourceful means to find quick and smart ways to solve problem. Follow after me (say the

Page 66: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

word by syllable: RE-SOURCE-FUL). Give a clap as you say each syllable. (Pupils give one clap for each syllable.) How many syllables does the word resourceful have? Now, let us spell the word resourceful.

2. Modeling/Teaching

Write the word resourceful with some missing letters like below.Say: The word “resourceful” is a long word so it may be hard to read. Look at different parts of the word to help you. There are 3 syllables in the word. Read the middle syllable (source). What vowel follows the letter r in the first syllable?

Call on a pupil to write it on the board.

The last syllable is –ful. What do you think is the missing letter? Call on another pupil to write f on the blank.

Say: Now we have the complete word. Read the syllables. Read the whole word. Read it again.

3. Guided Activity

Say: Are you resourceful? In what ways are you resourceful?Show a picture of a boy and a girl who do recycling.

Say: These are Anne and Roy. They are helping solve our garbage problem. They collect plastics, bottles and paper to do their project in Science.

4. Independent Group Activity

Say: It’s your turn to help save our environment. I will give you some recyclable items. Discuss with your group mates what you can do to make use of recyclable materials. Draw your project in a manila paper, which you will present next week.

Provide recyclable materials to the pupils and give them 10 minutes to plan and draw their project. Refer the pupils to LM Activity 160.

Have pupils use this as a guide for their project, which they will submit on ¼ Manila paper the following week.

Unit 2: Week 6 (Lesson 15)Non-Print Sources

1. Presentation

Show a picture of a grade 3 girl rushing to catch her school bus. Refer to LM Activity 161A for the said picture.

Say: Can you “ read” a picture? Does the picture tell something? (Show the picture to the class.) Can you tell what the picture is trying to say?

2. Modeling

Brainstorm what the children know or think about the picture they see and write it under column WHAT I KNOW. Under column WHAT ELSE I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT, write what are the things they still want to learn or discover about the details of the picture.

Write their answers on the board with this format.

What I know What else I want to know about it

e.g. she’s late Why was she late?

Say: Look at the picture again. Let us guess what information it tells us. What does the picture tell? Do you know how to guess what a non-print material (picture) tells? What are non-print materials, by the way?

Non-print sources are materials that tell something without the use of words. These sources use pictures, graphs, posters, movie and the like. There are 4 steps to take so we can make sense about it.1. Look at the whole picture.2. Describe the details. 2.1 If there are persons or animals, describe what they are doing or their faces to

tell what they feel. 2.2 Describe the setting or place where the person in the picture is.3. Using your observations earlier, you can now make an intelligent guess/infer as to what the picture tells us.

Show again the picture in Activity 161A.Say: Let us infer what the picture tells us.

What do you see in the picture?Are there persons or animals?What do you think is the girl doing?Where is she?

Why do you think the girl was running?Is she in a hurry? Why?Have you also experienced rushing to catch your school bus?

Page 70: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

How would you interpret what the picture is trying to say?What are the bases for your interpretation?

Ask: Can we get information through pictures or non-print materials?What are the things we have to do in order to understand what non-print sources tell us?

3. Guided Practice

Now let us try another one and carefully examine the details of the picture.What is the boy holding? Refer to the pictures in LM Activity 161B.

Go with your groups and write in one sentence, what you think the picture is about.

Say: Was it easy to interpret what the picture was trying to tell us?

Say: In picture A, how will you describe the boy ?

What can you say about his grade in the card? Is it high or low?

What you should do to get high grades?

(Do the same processing with pictures B and C.)

4. Independent Practice

Study the pictures and guess what information they tell. Write your answers in your notebook.

Refer your pupils to LM Activity 161C and D.

Lesson 15 Day 2: Inferring Information from a Print Source

1. Presentation

Post the poster on the board.

Say: This is a signage. What do you see in a signage? The words you see in a signage are called print. A signage is a Print Source of information. What does the signage tell you? Let us state in another way what the information given in this signage.

2. Modeling

Ask: What is inferring? How do we infer information from a print source?

No I.D.No Entry

Page 71: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Prepare strips of Manila paper. Write the lines of each character on the strips and stick them on a Manila paper for easy removal and classification of the sentences (a request or a command) in a follow up activity later.

Say: Inferring is making a guess about what something tells. We can infer from a print source of information. Print source of information tells us something in just a few words. Samples of print sources are signage, posters, brochures, and the like. There are 4 questions that you need to answer in order to infer information from a print source. 1. What does the print tell you? 2. Why does the print tell you that? 3. Does the print explain this clearly? 4. How else can you say what the print says?

Say: Answering these questions make state in full what the print tells.Let us look at the signage again and mention what it tells. (Point the pupils to the signage you posted on the board.) Read the print.Ask the four questions one-by-one. Accept the pupil’s responses.

What does the print tell you? Why does the print tell you that? Does the print explain this clearly? How else can you say what the print says?

3. Guided Practice

Refer your pupils to LM Activity 162.

4. Independent

Refer your pupils to LM Activity 163.

Lesson 15 Day 3: Form and use of the past tense of frequently used irregular

verbs (eat-ate)

1. Presentation

Say: Let us read the dialog together.

The class of Miss Luz starts the lesson by checking the homework.

Miss Luz : Bring out your assignment, class.Johny: I am sorry ma’am, I don’t have an assignment.Miss Luz: Will you please tell me why?Johny: I played all day and I got tired.

Page 72: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

When I got home I just slept. May I pass my assignment tomorrow?

Please give me another chance Miss Luz.Miss Luz: Next time, do your assignment first.

Stay at home and finish it. Ask your brothers and sisters to help you with your assignment.

Johny: Yes ma’am I won’t forget what you advised me about getting my assignments done on time.

Ask: What should Johnny do to show that he learned his lesson?

2. Modeling

Use some of the strips to elicit answers from your students that lead to the understanding the difference between a request and a command.

Say: Let us read strip number 1. (Remove it from the manila paper and post it on the board. Do the same with strip numbers 8, 9, 10)

Ask: What do these sentences tell us ?

Say: These sentences are command. Write “Commands” on the board. Commands tell what someone must do.

Say: Let us read strip number 3. (Remove it from the manila paper and post it on the board. Do the same with strip number 7.)

Ask: What do these sentences tell?

Say: These sentences are requests. Write “Requests” on the board. Requests tell politely what we want someone to do.

3. Guided Practice

Say: Let us see if you can tell if a sentence is a command or a request. Draw a sun or a moon on each blank.

Refer the class to LM Activity 164A.

4. Independent Practice

Refer your pupils to LM Activity 164B.

Lesson 15 Day 4: Form and use past tense of frequently occurring irregular verbs (eat - ate)

1. Presentation

Page 73: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Post a copy of the selection on the board.

Say: Let us read the short selection on the board together.

Kurt hurt himself when he was playing.He said “Please help me get to the clinic!”One of his group mates rushed to carry him and laid him on bed.”I’m afraid I might have broken my arms,” Kurt said. “Put your things down, relax, breath and smile,” his friend Rene said. “Hand me your project so you won’t be late in passing them,” he added.

Ask: Can you identify the two types of imperative sentence?

Say: You can see them in our selection. Write them under the right column.

Request Command

2. Modeling

Say: What happened to Kurt while he was playing? Why? Why did they lay him on the bed? What kind of injury was he afraid he incurred? To calm him, what did Rene ask him to do?

Activity 1

Among the words on the board, look for the right past form of the following irregular verbs:

Irregular verbs Past Form

hurt _________

lay _________

break _________

put _________

After the children have chosen the right answers, ask them:

What did you notice with the verbs when they are in the past form?

What two verbs remained the same in their past form?

What two verbs showed a change in their past form? What change took place?

Page 74: ENGLISH Teacher_s Guide-GRADE 3 (2nd Quarter)

Group Activity

Say: Now let us play like a cat and dog. One volunteer from each group will be the “It” or the cat. They have to jump on the right past form of the verb they are holding in order to get the bone. If they jump on to the wrong verb, they will fall and the dog will get the bone instead.

Say: What did you notice about the past form of the verbs? What was added at the end of the verbs? Why? What do we call this verb then?

3. Guided Practice

Say: Let us try again but now let us work together with our groups. Choose the right past form of the irregular verbs.

Refer the class to LM Activity 166.

Once upon a time there was a hen who wanted to grow carrots. So, she planted some carrot seeds on her garden.

Ask: What do you think happened to the carrot seed?

The carrot seed grew and grew.

One day the hen went out to check her carrots. She could not believe her eyes. There was an enormous carrot!

Ask: What do you think will the hen do with the enormous carrot?

The hen pulled and pulled it again. But she could not pull up the enormous carrot.

Ask: What do you think will the hen do next?

So, she went to the dog. “Help me pull up that enormous carrot,” she said.

“I will help you,” said the dog.

Ask: Do you think the hen and the dog will be able to pull up the

enormous carrot?

The hen and the dog pulled and pulled it together. But they still could not pull it up

Ask: What do you think will the hen do next?

So the hen went to the cat. “Help us pull up that that enormous carrot” she said.

Guided Practice

Instruct the pupils to work in triads. Read aloud to them a story. Have them fill in the Sequence Chart with the events as they happened in the story through the sentence strips below.

The Fence

One day while their father was away, the three sons agreed to put up a fence to enclose their house. The eldest son took the bundle of sticks. The second son looked for bigger sticks for the posts. The youngest son got the hammer and some nails.

They started working on the fence. They helped each other put the post in place, line the sticks and hammer the nails on them. Before dark they finished the fence. They felt tired but happy.

When their father came home, he was surprised. His son really understood what teamwork means.

Show the pupils the strips of paper with the events written on them. Tell them to use the Sequence Chart to show the sequence of events as they happened in the story.
