Mind Map
The Mind Map displays the organization and relationship among the concepts and activities
in this Learning Guide in a visual form. It is included to provide visual clues on the
structure of the guide and to provide an opportunity for you, the teacher, to reorganize
the guide to suit your particular context.
Stages of Learning
The following stages have been identified as optimal in this unit. It should be noted that
the stages do not represent individual lessons. Rather, they are a series of stages over one
or more lessons and indicate the suggested steps in the development of the targeted
competencies and in the achievement of the stated objectives.
Assessment
All six Stages of Learning in this Learning Guide may include some advice on possible
formative assessment ideas to assist you in determining the effectiveness of that stage on
student learning. It can also provide information about whether the learning goals set for
that stage have been achieved. Where possible, and if needed, teachers can use the
formative assessment tasks for summative assessment purposes i.e as measures of student
performance. It is important that your students know what they will be assessed on.
Background or purpose
Children love the delightful rhythm and rhyme of a poem. The enjoyable experience with
which they associate the structure brings about the desired results faster, that of learning
the pattern and the desire for better speech.
This stage will introduce children to recall poems and rhymes learned in their previous
grade. They will agree as to what rhyme or poem to present to the class. Then, they will
recite it with correct stress and intonation and pronunciation. This activity will enable
them to prepare for the succeeding activities as the lesson progresses.
Strategy
Cooperative Learning is a group learning where group members discuss the learning that
has taken place and assess their cooperative efforts in regards to the outcomes.

The Secret
We have a secret, just we three,
The robin, and I, and the cherry tree.
The bird told the tree, and the tree told me,
And nobody knows it but just us three.
But of course, the robin knows it best,
Because she built---I shall not tell the rest.
She laid the four little---something- in it,
I'm afraid I shall tell it every minute.
But, if the tree and the robin don't peep,
I'll try my best the secret to keep;
Though, I know when the little birds fly about
The entire secret will be out.
