IV. Procedures

A. Preparation
Good morning children? (Good morning Teacher Ivy.) You may now take
your seats. (Thank you Teacher Ivy.) Are you ready for our lesson today? (Yes we
are.) Let me see if you are really ready, “Follow what I say and do not follow what
I do. Are you ready?” (Yes teacher Ivy.) (Teacher Ivy says and does the action
while pupils execute ONLY what Teacher Ivy says) “Now, follow what I do and do
not follow what I say.” (Teacher Ivy says and does the action while pupils execute
ONLY what Teacher Ivy does.) “

a. Motivation
I have here a basket full of different kinds of things on the table. Can we name
these? (Yes.) Correct! How do these words form? Do you know how? What do we
call these kinds of words?
For us to know how these words are formed/developed, we are going to have
an activity. I want you to counts of 1-4. Let’s start at the back. Now children, what
will you observe if we are going to have a group activity? (Cooperate with each
other.) This incentive chart will monitor your behavior as a group. Total scores for
each group will be your corresponding class participation. (Teacher Ivy explains how
her incentive chart works and assigned each group their respective places.)

B. Presentation
There are different pictures on the board. There’s a blank space provided for
your answer. Inside each blank space is the correct answer. I will be giving you an
envelope. Inside this envelope are different kinds of words. I want you to choose two
different words to form a new word that matches up with your respective picture.
Then, paste/tape it together to form the new word. Once you’re done place your
answer on the blank provided. Whoever finishes first will get a point and whose
group participates and cooperates with each other will also have a point. Do you
understand children? (Yes Teacher Ivy.) Are you ready class? (Yes we are.) I’ll give
you only 5 minutes to finish this activity.

(Teacher Ivy reveals the answer by pulling the correct answer inside the box.)
Now let’s spell the words together, slowly and correctly. (The children spell the
words.)
C. Comparison and Abstraction

Read the words in the box. What two words make up these words?

butterfly flagpole firefly

bathroom classroom manhood

Read and Study

A mango seed is big.

There are seeds in the box.
Mature seeds are planted in a seedbox.

Seed is a part of a plant.

Box is a container where we can place something.
Seedbox is the container where we plant mature seeds.

seed + box = seedbox

The new word from the words seed and box is seedbox.

The sun gives us light.

The light of the sun is bright.
Sunlight is good for our health.

Sun is a heavenly body.

Light makes us see things clearly.
Sunlight means light coming from the sun.

sun + light = sunlight

The new word from the words sun and light is sunlight.

Seedbox and sunlight are called a compound words.

A compound word is made up of two words with different meanings.

The compound word has a new meaning.
 D. Discussion (Story Telling)

The Race

There once lived a king in a faraway country. He had only one daughter. He was very
proud of her for she was very beautiful. Everybody in the kingdom loved her.

Princess Alberta loved playing games when she was a young girl. She had playmates in
the palace. They had a big playground inside the palace.

Princess Alberta liked to go horseback riding with her father. When she grew up, she was
the fastest rider in the country. And she was the fastest runner, too. This made her very proud.

Just for fun, the princess held races in the palace. Her father built a race track in the
palace compound. Each time she ran n the race, she always won. Nobody could defeat her. She
became very, very proud.

One day, a handsome prince came. He was Prince Rodin. A race was planned for the day.
The prince took part in it.

Prince Rodin and Princess Alberta were now in the racetrack. Then one of the palace
guards fired a gunshot. It was time to start the race. At first, the princess was ahead. In a little
while, the prince was close to her. Prince Rodin threw a magic ball. The princess stopped to pick
it up. She stopped a long time to look at the beautiful ball. When she looked for the prince, he
was far ahead.

Princess Alberta tried to overrun the prince but she could not. The prince stayed ahead.
He was getting very tired, but he kept on running ahead. The prince was overjoyed for defeating
the Princess Alberta.

Princess Alberta was so unhappy. From that time on she was not proud anymore.

Questions:

1. Who was Princess Alberta?

2. Why was Princess Alberta proud?
3. Who was Prince Rodin?
4. What did he do during the race? Why do you think he did that?
5. How did Princess Alberta feel after the race? What did she learn from her defeat?

E. Generalization
