III.                Procedure

A.     Learning Activities

Teacher’s Activity            “Good Morning Class...”               “Let us pray first...”            (Checking of Attendance)                    ...say present...                          “Please pick up the pieces of paper under your chair”             “So how was your weekend?”     “That’s good! Have you enjoyed your weekend bonding with your family?”       “That’s good to know. For this morning, our discussion will be in relation to a family. Are you familiar with Barney’s I Love You Song?”        “Okay that’s good, so are you ready to sing and have fun today?

Student’s Activity                “Good Morning Sir!”     (One Student will lead the Prayer)    (Students raise their hand and say present as the teacher calls in their name) (Students pick up the pieces of paper)                 “It was great sir!”     “Of course sir! It was a lot of fun!” “Yes sir! We love purple-colored dinosaur!”                             “Yes”

  Warm Up

Let us sing Barney’s I Love You Song.

               (Students Sing)

“I love you, you love me and we’re a happy family,

With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you,

Hope you say you love me too.”

“Okay now class, What can you say about the song? Does it tell us something important that we have already forgotten to do nowadays?”            “How could you say so John?”               “That was a very good explanation John, you know what class the song simply tells us something that we should always consider for us to keep our family or relationship with others intact, sometimes showing affection/love towards a person makes him feel that he is appreciated and there will be feeling of belonginess and love.              “What else have you noticed which made you conclude that the song is all about love?” “Everybody had just sung very well, it’s now time to improve your pronunciation more...”

“Sir, eventhough the song is very short, but I guess it’s full of emotions.” “Because sir I noticed that the song has a lot to do with our love for our family, that the real meaning of family is all about loving each other, and nowadays kissing and hugging our parents or family members are not being practiced anymore.” “Because sir, there are so many descriptive words in the song, the most obvious one is “I LOVE YOU.”

B.      Lesson Proper     Presentation     Show pictures of a Mother (a) and a Cake (b)     Motivation     “What do you see in pictures A and B?”    “When was the last time you gave a gift to your mother?”    “Why do you think there is a cake? What do you think is the celebration?”    “Aside from giving material gifts, how else do you show your love for your mother?”      Discussion      Let us read a poem and let us find out how the children showed their love for their mother.                   Who Loves Mother Best?                    “Oh happy birthday, Mama dear.”            Sang Ben, Liz and Bess with cheer       “We love you much, we love you true.”     They kissed their mother, hugged her too.                  Then quickly Ben skipped out to play        And went with playmates all the day.           Then rushed home in time to see               His sister Liz aglow with glee.                   For Liz held up an ice cream cone,                   Enjoying it, she sat alone.      Ben grabbed the cone, and slipped away,         So Liz cried out, “For that you’ll pay!”       Like cats and dogs the two did struggle          Each making sure to win the battle.          They tried to push and then to pull,            While Mama almost lost her cool.        But little Bess with Mom she stayed,          She set the table, drinks she laid.     And helped to serve Mom’s friends and             guests        Now tell me, who loves Mother best? After reading the poem, let us now answer these questions: “Why did Bess, Ben, and Liz kiss and hug their Mother?”  “Why was Liz aglow with glee?”  “What made Liz cry out, “For that you’ll pay?”      “Why did Mother almost lost her cool?”  “Who among the three children loved their Mother best? How did he/she show it?  “What is the best way to show your love for your parents?” Explain.     Analysis (Show picture of a girl eating an ice cream)         “What do you see on the picture?”  “What happened to Liz when she was eating                       a cone of ice cream?”     Liz was aglow with glee, answers what happens to Liz when she eats a cone of ice cream. This is called the effect.                   Look again at the picture,          “What do you notice on Liz’s face?”             “Why was Liz aglow with glee?”   Because she was eating a cone of ice cream, answers why Liz was aglow with glee. This is called the cause.   And that’s what we call the Cause-and-effect relationship.     Generalization “A cause and effect relationship describes something that happens and why it happens.” “What happens is called the effect; and why it happens is called the cause.” “The cause is usually introduced by the connective because.”     Application    (Pantomine)   Each group will act out the following situations from the poem.   Group1:        But little Bess with Mom she stayed,         She set the table, drinks she laid.    And helped to serve Mother’s friends and                                   guests.        Now tell me, who loves Mother best?   Group2:             For Liz held up an ice cream cone,                    Enjoying it, she sat alone.       Ben grabbed the cone and slipped away,       So Liz cried out, “For that you’ll pay!”    Group3:            “Oh happy birthday, Mama dear.”         Sang Ben and Liz and Bess with cheer      “We love you much, we love you true.”   They kissed their mother, hugged her too.     Group4:       Like cats and dogs the two did struggle          Each making sure to win the battle.          They tried to push and then to pull,               While Mama almost her cool.

“Sir, Picture A is a picture of a Mother and Picture B is a picture of a Cake.” “On her last birthday.” “It is mother’s birthday.” “By kissing and hugging her.”       “Because it is their Mother’s Birthday.”     “Liz was aglow a glee because she was eating a cone of ice cream.”    “Liz cried out because Ben grabbed the cone then slipped away.”            “Because Ben and Liz struggled.”  “Bess, because she helped mother to serve the guests.”  “The best way to show my love for my parents is by...”         “A girl is eating a cone of ice cream.”           “Liz was happy (aglow with glee)”                     “Liz was happy (aglow with glee)” “Because she was eating a cone of ice cream.”

V.                 Assignment

Identifying CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP.

Read the short fable. Underline the CAUSE and Encircle the EFFECT.

A fox said to a crow with a piece of cheese between its beak, “If you can sing as prettily as you sit, then you are the prettiest singer.”      The fox thought that once the crow starts to sing, the cheese would drop from her beak. But the crow carefully removed the cheese from the claws on one foot and said, “they say you are sly, but you cannot fool me”. Not giving up, the fox continued to praise the crow. “I wish I could hear you tell about your talents but I have to go look for food because I’m hungry”.
