d.) Checking of attendance arranging their chairs.)
May I ask the classroom monitor who is absent
today?

That’s great to hear. No one is absent today, Ma’am.

e. ) Reminder of Classroom Rules and Regulations

these rules for our class to go smoothly today.

ENGAGE Yes, Ma’am.

Okay students, before we start our lesson for

today, we are going to have an activity called think-pair-
share. With the person sitting beside you, tell each
other about your holiday traditions. What do you do
with your families during Christmas, New Year
celebrations, Ramadan, or any other holiday that you
celebrate with your respective families. Make sure to
include specific details like what food you usually eat or
what activity you do. I will give you 2 minutes to share
your holiday traditions with each other. Do you have
any question regarding the activity?
No, Ma’am.

Alright, your 2 minutes start now.

Okay, class, time is up. Are you done sharing your
holiday traditions with your pair?
Yes, Ma’am.

Very good!
EXPLORE

              At this point, class, I will be asking some of the

pairs to come up in front and share with us the holiday
traditions that you shared with your pairs.

On the diagram, I want you to write what your partner

shared with you and vice versa. Include at least three
details. I will choose the pair who will share with us
what they discussed. The pair who volunteer to share
will receive “reserve points” to be added to their quiz
later.
(The students participate in the board work
filling in the diagram about their holiday
traditions.)
 Eating Noche Buena with family
- Mango float for dessert
- Eating lechon belly
Cordon Bleu is my favorite!
 Simbang Gabi
- Going with lola
- Matching/color-coded clothes
- Singing carols
 Going to my cousin’s house for the
holidays
- Staying up late together
- Sleeping in one room with all
my cousins
- Watching Christmas movies

Those are some really great holiday traditions and I can

relate to a lot of them, especially the part where we eat
lots of food! The holidays really are one of the best
times we look forward to every year! Now class, with
the activity that we did a while ago, sharing information
with each other and even supporting them with details,
what do you think is our lesson for today?

 Communication, Ma’am.
 Traditions, Ma’am?
EXPLAIN  All about sharing information, Ma’am.

a. Introducing the lesson

Your answers are all correct! Our lesson is a form of
communicating with other people except this
communication is through the form of writing or in
other words, in essay form. Just like our activity a while
ago, you can talk about anything under the sun as long
as you are sharing information with your reader or
audience. All of these things that you did is about
sharing information and so our topic today is about the
Informative Essay.

b. Discussion
To begin, please read the definition of an
Informative Essay.
An Informative Essay is written as a literary
essay piece with the purpose of educating a
target audience or readers regarding a certain
topic or subject.

Thank you for reading. Can someone explain from their

own understanding of what an Informative Essay is,
based on the definition?
 Ma’am, it is an essay where the writer
wants to share something to let the
readers know about the subject.

That is an excellent understanding of the definition. An

Informative Essay is intended to present or expose
something while at the same time avoiding presenting
arguments or personal opinions from the writer. An
informative essay is also called an expository essay in
the sense that it also aims to expose or display
information that is beneficial to the reader. Can you tell
me examples of essays that merely inform?
 An Informative Essay about a certain
animal.
 An informative Essay about Artificial
Intelligence.
  An Informative Essay about the
costums of Japan.
Those are great examples! Another thing about the
Informative Essay is that it does not present biased
judgments or favorable ideas. Why do you think so?
 Because an Informative Essay’s job is
to inform and not to convince.
 An Informative Essay simply educates
so it simply tells about something.

That’s right! If you start trying to convince the readers

to do things that are contrary to their will, your essay
will then be considered as a Persuasive Essay.
Remember, an Informative Essay only informs or
educates its readers. Do you understand, class?
Yes, Ma’am.

So an Informative Essay has three parts. These are the

three basic parts of any essay. Can anyone tell me what
the basic parts of an essay are?
 The Introduction, Body, and
Conclusion, Ma’am.

That’s right! So the first part of the Informative Essay,

the Introduction, is used to grab the attention of the
reader and to introduce the topic. It as well states the
thesis statement of the article. The thesis statement is a
one-sentence statement that expresses the main idea of
an essay or text.

Can everybody read the next part of an Informative

Essay? Yes, Ma’am. The second part is the body. It is
the bulk of the essay and contains all of the
important facts being covered that support or
provide evidences to the thesis statement.

So what does the body do, in a nutshell It is where the supporting statements are
placed, Ma’am. It adds details to the
introduction or further expands the thesis
statement.

That’s correct! Finally, the conclusion is the part that

that summarizes the essay and encourages the reader
to seek out more information about a topic. What does
It wraps up the entire essay, Ma’am.
the Conclusion do?

Great job recalling the different parts of an Essay. Now,

let’s learn how to write an Informative Essay. The first
step is to Think of a Topic. Please read my dear at the
back. The first thing that you have to do is think of a
topic that you want to write about. It would
be good if it is something that you are most
passionate about, so you can write in great
detail.

That’s right! So just like what we did a while ago in the

first activity, I asked you to think of a holiday tradition
that you celebrate with your families. The first step in
writing anything may it be to inform, persuade, or even
entertain is to look for a topic, especially one that you’re
knowledgeable about.

The next thing you must do is to, students, please read:

The most effective format is using the
essential parts of an essay
Alright, so again, what are the three parts of an essay?

Introduction, Body, and Conclusion, Ma’am.

That’s right! So knowing that means you already know a

simple Informative Essay format. Of course, you may
expand it according to what you decide to write. Never
limit yourself to one format but if you're comfortable
using the three parts then just make sure you would be
able to communicate the necessary information in each
paragraph. Which leads us to the last step, everybody
please read.
Present your ideas.
After choosing the topic, start writing your
ideas. Present them in a way that you are
educating the readers.
So how do you usually educate someone? A while ago,
what were the things that you told you pair in the
previous activity?
 We told them about something we
know, Ma’am.
 We told each other about what we do
based on our own costums and
experiences.
That’s right! So in this light, we are telling our audience
about facts simply to inform and again, not to convince.
At this point, I will not show you an example of an
Informative Essay. I will be reading the text to you so
please follow along silently as I read it out loud.

Causes and Effects of Smoking among Students Yes, Ma’am.

Smoking is one of the most dangerous widespread
phenomena that threaten the lives of a huge number of
people worldwide. It starts as a way of having fun but
ends as an addiction that is therefore so difficult to give
up. Today, we often hear of "smoking among students."
So why do students smoke and what are the effects that
smoking has on them?

So in the first paragraph, we read the thesis statement

as well as the introduction of the topic. Can someone
come up in front and underline the thesis statement?
Remember, the thesis statement is a one-sentence
statement that expresses the main idea of an essay or
text.

(Student volunteer underlines the sentence,

“Smoking is one of the most dangerous
widespread phenomena that threaten the
That’s correct. This sentence gives a preview of what lives of a huge number of people worldwide”)
your Informative Essay will be about. Often, but not
always, the thesis statement can be found in the first
sentence of the introduction. We can also read that the
last statement smoothly transitions to the body where
the different reasons or supporting statements can be
found by using a question to end the paragraph. Okay,
let’s proceed to the body. I want two students to read
the two bodies of the essay.

There are many reasons behind the

phenomenon of smoking among students. To
start with, students smoke because they are
curious and want to discover the world of
those who smoke. They are just trying to have
some fun when they smoke their first
cigarette. Other students take up smoking
due to family problems, especially when they
see their parents quarrel. Moreover, some
students smoke since they think cigarettes
would relieve the stress they had during the
day, especially at school. Last but not least,
 students try to imitate adult smokers because
they want to show that they are adults, too.
Alright, so from the first body, we read of the many
reasons behind the phenomena of smoking. What do
you think is the first reason?

Curiosity, Ma’am.
That’s correct! The first reason states that, “students
smoke because they are curious and want to discover
the world of those who smoke.” Can someone underline
the next reason?
Student underlines, “They are just trying to
have some fun when they smoke their first
cigarette.” On the board.

The next probable reason is, please read altogether.

Other students take up smoking due to family
problems, especially when they see their
parents quarrel.

That’s right. So we read in this paragraph the different

reasons why students may want to try smoking
cigarettes. The last reason is because of academic stress
but students please remember that these reasons are
never worth the life-long and damaging effects so I hope
you never try it for yourselves.

Okay, let’s hear the next paragraph from the next

If we look at the consequences of
reader.
smoking, we will find so many. Smoking
causes cancer. As a result, the addicted
students would suffer from health problems
that end in death. Another effect is that after
certain years, the addict would develop
respiratory problems and will face a lot of
problems in breathing. So, asthma, bronchitis,
and emphysema are always lingering threats.
One more important effect of smoking is that
it causes a lot of anger for the addict.
Whenever they lack cigarettes, they start
reacting angrily and strangely.

Thank you. So in this paragraph, the consequences are

then enumerated. Despite the consequences being
listed down, we don’t see the writer trying to force the
reader not to smoke, they are merely stating the facts
that smoking can lead to grave consequences because
again, Informative Essays do not try to persuade its
readers to do things that are contrary to what they To educate, Ma’am.
want. What is the Informative Essay’s goal again?

So this paragraph discusses the health and mental

problems that smoking may cause such as respiratory
problems and anger issues. Okay, let’s move on to the
conclusion. I’ll go ahead and read it.

To sum up, smoking is an ongoing threatening danger

for addicts. It is an addictive substance. The causes and
effects of smoking vary but are all equally dangerous
both for the smoker and the people around them. The
best solution is prevention according to the proverb that
says, "Prevention is better than cure.”

The first sentence of the conclusion ties all facts and

statements from the body and reiterates general
statements. And finally ends with a powerful quote to
end the essay and leave the reader wanting to learn
more about the topic.

c. Review

Before we proceed with the next activity, let’s have a

quick review of your understanding first.
To educate the audience Ma’am.
What is the Informative Essay’s job? To inform the audience Ma’am.

So do we try to persuade the audience when we write No, Ma’am.

an Informative Essay?

Because that will make the essay persuasive.

Why do you say so?

So what are the three different parts of an Informative The Introduction, Body, and Conclusion,
Essay? Ma’am.
So in the Introduction, what can you find or what must
be stated. The thesis statement, Ma’am or the main
focus of the essay.

That’s good! What about in the body? Supporting facts, statements, and information
to help support the introduction or add
information, Ma’am.

Very good. And why do you think an Informative Essay is

an important type of Essay? It is important, Ma’am because they help
educate people on certain topics without
being bias or dictating how people should
think.

Very good, students. I’m glad to see that you’ve all

understood the lesson. Remember, an Informative Essay
have a job and that job is to share information. It is not
all the time that we should be trying to make people
think otherwise because sometimes, it is simply enough
to let them know the facts.

Do you still have any questions regarding our topic for

today? No, Ma’am.
