Her mother was worried about her.
One day, Gamba went to town to get new threads. Meanwhile, her
mother noticed the torn curtain she asked Gamba to sew was not done yet. She
thought that Gamba neglected her errand. So she took a needle and a thread
from her daughters sewing tools to fix it herself.
When Gamba came back and noticed that her mother used her sewing
tools, she got mad and confronted her. It offended her mother and to her anger

Once there was a young girl who lived in the forest and was a trainee of

to make a dress made of cotton. The young girl had no idea how to make it. So
the Goddess explained that she has to clean the cotton, beat it, spin it, weave it
into cloth, cut it and finally sew it.
But the girl was lazy and thought that making a dress out of the cotton
was a lot of hard work. So she thought of an easier way. She took the leather
cloth which is used to beat the cotton and wore it. She also thought that the
leather would last longer than the cotton.
When the Goddess asked the girl to show her the dress, she got furious

her skin and beat her with a wooden stick which became her tail.

Black, White, Brown
by Nemah N. Hermosa
(Adapted from a Philippine folktale)
Once upon a time, there were no people. There was only the
earth and the god Kabunian. He said, The earth is a beautiful place.
But who will take care of it? I will make people.
In the afternoon, Kabunian got some clay. He worked for a long
time. When he finished making a man, it was night. The color of the
night became the color of the man. He is too dark, Kabunian said.
The next morning, Kabunian woke up before sunrise. He got
some clay. He made a man. When the sun came up, Kabunian saw
the man. He is too white, Kabunian said.
So Kabunian got more clay. He made another man. It was
noon. The hot sun made the man brown. I like this brown man, said
Kabunian.
Kabunian sent the men to different parts of the Earth. That is
why there are black people and white people. That is why Filipinos are
brown.
Suggested questions:
After the first paragraph:
Ask: How do you think Kabunian will make people?
After the second paragraph:
Ask: Do you think Kabunian liked the black man he made? What do you
think will he do next?

Androcles
(Adapted from an Aesops Fable)
by Gretel Laura M. Cadiong
Once there was a slave named Androcles who escaped from

his master. He went to the forest to hide. As he was walking through
the forest, he saw a lion lying down moaning and groaning.
Androcles was afraid so he immediately ran away. But he was
surprised when the lion did not chase him. So he turned back
and went near the lion.
As he got near, the lion put out his paw. Androcles saw that it
was bleeding and swollen. He found out that a big thorn had got
into it. He pulled out the thorn and bound up the paw of the lion.
The lion rose and licked the hand of Androcles like a dog. For
several days, Androcles would go to the lion to bring him some
meat, until he got fully well.
One day, both Androcles and the lion were caught. Androcles
was imprisoned and was sentenced to be thrown to a hungrl lion.
Soon, Androcles was led out to the plaza where the king and all
his soldiers came to watch how the slave would be eaten up by
the lion. Next, the lion was let loose from his den and roared loud
as it got near its victim. But as it got close to Androcles, the lion
recognized his friend, and licked him like a friendly dog.
The king who was very surprised called Androcles. He, then,
told the king about how he and the lion became friends. So the
king forgave Androcles and freed him while the lion was let loose
and brought back to the forest.

How can you realize your own plans?
3. Skill Development: (Using graphic organizers in sequencing events)

a. Teaching/Modelling
Ask: What helped you retell the story?
How did the graphic organizer help you?
What are graphic organizers?
Say: Graphic organizers are charts or pictorials used to represent
what we think of. It can help us understand what we read. In
sequencing events, we use organizers like the story board,
ow chart, story train, chain of events chart and sequence
chart.
62
Teaching Chart
Graphic organizers are visual charts and tools used to represent
and organize a students knowledge or ideas. Graphic organizers are
often used as part of the writing process to help students map out
ideas, plots, character details and settings before beginning to
write. As part of the reading process, graphic organizers can help
a student comprehend what he has read and make comparisons.
Graphic organizers can be used to: sequence events, analyze
cause and effect, compare and contrast and develop concepts in
detail.
b. Guided Practice
Story Construction Game
Divide the class into groups with five members. Give each group
a set of strips of paper on which story events are written. Let each
group arrange the events to form a story in a graphic
organizer. Let the groups read the stories they formed.

To our Dear Teachers,
This teachers guide is designed in four quarters with nine-week

lessons every quarter. Other broad competencies were subtasked to suit
the time alloted for the days lesson.
In a literature-based curriculum, objectives are classified into
a) expressive which refers to the appreciation of the literary text; and b)
instructional which refers to the development of the skills.
There are several activities for the pupils to develop target skill/s
but this is not an end in itself. Feel free to modify the strategies to address
individual differences of learners.
We also want you to use formative assessment results as basis
for instruction thus, enrichment activities are provided for pupils who got
above 50% of the total score and we encourage you to provide remediation
to pupils whose total scores are below 50%.
Enjoy teaching and make a DIFFERENCE in the pupils lives.

Comprehension Questions: Refer to LM, Talk About It
How can you understand poems or stories better? What questions should
you ask to know if you understood something you listened to? What
answers will you get if you ask these questions?
Teaching Points
Noting details is an important reading skill for children to learn.
We note details by asking wh- questions who, what, where, when,
and how.
2. Guided Practice
Get information from the paragraph below by asking wh- questions.
Clouds are formed as part of the process called the water cycle.
Water from the land and seas goes up in the sky and forms clouds.
When clouds are already heavy, they release water in the form of rain.
Have the pupils ask and answer wh- questions based on the paragraph.
138
Read the poem Little Cloud. Write five wh- questions you can ask to check
if you can remember details from the poem. Write the answers beside the
questions.
Call pupil volunteers (at least 5) to read their questions and ask other pupils
to answer the questions.
4. Science Integration
Ask: Where do clouds come from? How are clouds formed?
How do clouds help in formation of rain? (Use the illustration of the
water cycle to explain the formation of clouds and rain.)
Teaching Points
Water travels in a cycle. It goes up in evaporation. It forms clouds in
condensation. It goes down as rain in precipitation. Water goes around
and around from the ground to the sky and back to the ground in a
Water Cycle.

There were so many mushrooms peeking out in the clearing.
Jane, Teresa, and I crawled up to get some. We placed them in a
basket till there was barely enough room. It was starting to rain again.
We only had one umbrella. Water was dripping from the umbrella so
we huddled closer to avoid getting wet. Then, Teresa said she smelled
something funny. Jane and I sniffed to check. Without warning, I
sneezed. Teresa sneezed. Jane sneezed. We looked silly sneezing
with a basketful of mushrooms under the rain.

145
Read underlined words in the selection.
What kind of words are they? (action words)
When did the actions happen according to the selection?
Say: The underlined words are verbs in the present form.
Teaching Chart
The present tense of verbs is used to express an action that
happens regularly or habitually.
Time expressions like everyday, every week, once a month, and
yearly show present tense.
Singular subjects and pronouns he, she, or it use the present
singular form of verbs. When we talk about a singular subject, -s
or es is added to a verb.
Plural subjects use the present form of the verbs. They take the
base form of the verb without the s or es added to the verb.
Read the sentences below:
1. Ana walks to school every day.
Grace, Jane and Tere walk to school, too.
2. She brings her yellow umbrella.
They bring umbrellas and raincoats, too.
Ask: What happens to verbs when the subject of the sentence is singular?
When it is plural?
2. Guided Practice - Refer to LM, Do and Learn

column B? Do they have the same final sound? (Column A words have
the s sound, column B the z sound, column C the iz sound.)
146
Teaching Chart
Verbs ending in s have three different final sounds: s z and iz
The final sound is s if the verb ends with vowels a, e, i, o, u, and the
letters p, t, and k.
The final sound is z if the verb ends with the letters m, n, l, b, d, and
g.
The final sound is iz if the verb ends with the letters s, z, sh, and ch

Teaching Points
An outline is a brief summary of a particular topic. It helps you
organize ideas. It has two parts. The topic is written in Roman
numerals. The subtopics that give the details are written in capital
letters.
Guided Practice
Let pupils do the activity in LM Do and Learn
Say: We will continue writing an outline. Here is a paragraph. Read and identify
the topic in the paragraph found in LM, Learn Some More. Write the topic
sentence in the Roman numeral and the subtopics in the letters.
The queen bee is the most important member of the hive. She
is the ruler of the colony. Her job is to lay eggs. She lays at least two
thousand eggs every day.
___________________________________

Look at the illustrations. Read the sentence below picture A. What is talked
about in the sentence? How many bamboos are there in picture A? In
picture B? What do bamboos do? (grow)
152
Ask: What words tell what persons do? Verbs are words that tell what a
person does. They show action.
Read sentence C. Who is talked about? (farmer) How many farmers are
there? (one) What does he do with the bamboo? (uses as fence) How
picture D?
Say: Look at this chart.
One Person/ Things
The bamboo grows
farmer uses
More than one person / things

bamboos grow
farmers use
Say: If the subject of the sentence talks about one person or thing the
subject is singular and it takes a singular verb. If the subject talks
about two or more persons or things, it is in the plural form and it
takes plural form of the verb.
When do you use the s-form and the base form of the verb?
Teaching Chart
The verb used when the subject of the sentence is more than
one person, place, or thing is the base form. When the subject tells
about one person, place, or thing s-form of the verb is used. These
verbs are in the present tense.

Fly from flower to tree;
Find a place to lay my eggs
So they can grow like me.

Day 3
I.
Objective
Use possessive pronouns
Say: Let us recall our story. What was it about? Here is a part of the story.
This is the conversation between Fish and Frog. Let us read the dialog.
1. Presentation
One day Frog went back to the pond. FIsh
was very happy to see him.
Fish: Where have you been?
Frog: I have been about the world hopping
here and there. I have seen extraordinary
things.
Fish: Like what?
Frog: Birds. They have wings and two legs
and many colors.
Fish: What else?
Cow. It has four legs and horns, eat grass,
and carries pink bags of milk. I saw people;
men, women and children.
They talked and talked until it was dark in the
pond.
Ask: Who had wings? Who had four legs? Who owns the wings? the legs?
Let us read the following:
birds wings
cows legs
their wings
its legs
Let us use the above phrases in sentences.
1. The birds wings flap so high. Their wings flap so high.
2. The cows legs are big. Its legs are big.
Say: What word takes the place of the word birds? (their) the word
cows? (its) Their and its are called possessive pronouns. In the sentence, their is a possessive pronoun that replaces birds. What does
the possessive pronoun its replace?
Teaching Chart
Possessive pronoun shows possession or ownership. The following are examples of possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, its
are singular possessive pronouns; ours, and theirs are plural
163
Activity: - Refer to LM, Try and Learn

examples of possessive pronouns.
Let us read the paragraph taken from the story you listened to. Refer to LM,
Find Out and Learn
Say: Read the first sentence.
Luckily Frog, which had been hunting butterflies nearby, saw Fish, and with all
its strength pushed Fish back into the pond.
antecedent
Luckily Frog, which had been hunting butterflies nearby, saw Fish, with
all its strength pushed Fish back into the pond.
The pronoun that refers to the antecedent
To whom does the word its refer to in the sentence?
Say: The pronoun its refers to the word frog. Frog is the antecedent. It is
singular. Why do we say that it is singular? Usually the antecedent comes
before the pronoun in the sentence. The pronoun should always agree
with the antecedent in number and gender.
antecedent
Still stunned, Fish floated about for an instant, then it
breathed deeply, letting the clean cool water run through
its gills.
The pronoun that refers to the antecedent
Say: The pronoun its refers to the word fish. Fish is the antecedent. It is
singular. Usually the antecedent comes before the pronoun in the
sentence.
164
Teaching Chart
An antecedent is the word to which a pronoun refers. A pronoun agrees with its antecedent in number and gender.
Agreement in Number if the antecedent of a pronoun is singular, a singular pronoun is required. If the antecedent is plural,
a plural pronoun is required.
Example: Lei has a red umbrella. Her umbrella is red.
Agreement in Gender-masculine gender is indicated by he, his
and him. Feminine gender is indicated by she, her and hers.
This dog is Joses pet. This dog is his pet. This dog is his.
Neuter gender is indicated by it and its.
Say: What are antecedents? We must remember that pronouns always
agree with their antecedents in number and gender. If the antecedent
is female, we use the feminine pronoun. If it is male, the pronoun we
use is masculine, too.
Guided Practice
Underline the antecedent of the pronoun and circle the pronoun that agrees
with its antecedent.

One morning, the king of the forest was in his irritable mood. His
wife, the Queen had said something he did not like. Queen Lioness
had told King Lion that his breath was unpleasant. So, King called
the animals. First he called the sheep.
Friend Sheep, opening wide his big mouth, Would you say that
my breath smells unpleasant?
What do you think was the Sheeps answer?
Believing that the lion wanted an honest answer, the sheep gave
it, and the king bit off his head. King Lion was very angry. He roared
and called the goat.
Mr. Goat, tell me the truth. Do I have a bad smell? Do I have bad
breath?The goat saw the sheeps meat and bones. He was afraid of
the lion. So the goat said, Why, your Majesty, you have a breath as
sweet as the roses in the garden. Before he could finish, the goat
was torn to pieces. I do not like liars, roared king Lion.
At last, the lion called the horse. The horse walked slowly. He
looked sick. He coughed and coughed.
What do you think was the horses answer?
Friend horse, tell me the truth. Queen Lioness said I have
a bad breath. She said I have a bad smell. Is it true? The horse
coughed and coughed. Then he said softly, King Lion, I have a bad
cold. It rained hard while I was carrying crops for my master. I think

Why the Tortoises Shell Is Not Smooth

Adapted from Chinua Achebe
Once upon a time, all the birds were invited to a feast in the sky.
They were very happy. They began to prepare themselves. They
painted their bodies beautifully. Tortoise was so excited to join the
group because he had not eaten a good meal for weeks. So he
began to plan how he could go to the sky and join the feast. But Tortoise had no wings so he asked the birds to be allowed to join them.
We know you too well, said the birds. You are ungrateful. If
we allow you to come with us, you will soon begin your mischief.
You do not know me, said Tortoise. I am a changed man; I
have learned that a man who makes trouble for others is also
making it for himself.
Tortoise had a sweet tongue, and within a short time, all the
birds agreed that he was a changed man. The birds gave him a
feather for his wings.
The feast came. Tortoise was the first to arrive at the meeting
place. Tortoise was very happy as he flew among the birds. The
birds chose him to be their spokesperson.
There is one thing we must not forget, he said. When people
are invited to a great feast like this, they take new names for the
occasion.
The birds just followed. They thought of their names. When they
had taken new names, Tortoise took one. He wanted to be called
All of You.
What do you think happened when they were in the sky?
At last the group arrived in the sky. Their hosts were very happy
to see them. Tortoise stood up and thanked them for their invitation.
His speech was so eloquent that all the birds were glad they had
brought him along. Their hosts treated him well as the king of the
birds, as he looked somewhat different from the others.
The people in the sky set before their guests the most delicious
dishes Tortoise had ever seen or dreamed of. Tortoise began to sniff
193
aloud. When everything had been set before the guests, one of
the people in the sky invited the birds to eat. But Tortoise jumped to
his feet and asked, For whom have you prepared this feast?
For all of you, replied the man. Tortoise turned to the birds and
said, Remember my name is All of You.
He began to eat and the birds were so angry. Tortoise ate the
best part of the food and drank wine. The birds gathered around
to eat what was left .They ate the bones that he had thrown on the
floor. Some of them were too angry to eat. They chose to fly home
on an empty stomach. But before they left, each took back the feather he had borrowed. And there, he stood full of food and wine but
without any wings to fly home. He asked the birds to take a message
for his wife, but they all refused. In the end, Parrot, who had felt
angrier than the others, suddenly changed his mind and agreed to
take the message.
Why do you think Parrot changed his mind?
Tell my wife, said Tortoise, To bring out all the soft things in my
house and cover the area around with them so that I can jump down
from the sky without great danger.
Parrot promised to deliver the message, and then flew away. But
when he reached Tortoises house, he told his wife to bring out all
the hard things in the house. And so she brought out her husbands
hoes, knife, spears and guns. Tortoise looked down from the sky
and saw his wife bringing things out, but it was too far to see what
they were. When all seemed ready, he let himself go. He fell until
he began to fear that he would never stop falling. And then like the
sound of his gun, he crashed on the land.
His shell broke into pieces but there was a great medicine man
in the neighbourhood. The medicine man gathered all the bits of
shell and put them together. This is why the tortoises shell is not so
smooth today.

Polly the Snail

Polly is a garden snail. She lives in a beautiful vegetable garden near a

Polly and her friends eat the leaves of the vegetables in the garden. They
are always hungry. They like to know the different taste of leaves of the
healthy and green vegetables there.
Polly goes around and takes small bites of each of the leaves every
day. If she likes the taste of a leaf, she eats it immediately. Soon, all of the
vegetables had holes in their leaves.
One day, Farmer Jane went to visit his garden. He looked at the vegetables and gave a loud cry. Who did this to my beautiful vegetables? Polly

herself under a brown leaf and hid inside her shell.

picked them one by one and placed the snails in a plastic bag. He did not

will depend on how this word is used in meaningful context.
Say: Let us examine the sentences:
EP
E
1. The Heritage Village in Vigan, Ilocos Sur mirrors great history and
culture.

holidays is the Hari Raya Puasa. This is the end of the fasting during
Ramadan.
Ask: What is the most colorful holiday celebrated by the Muslim people?
Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. Ramadan
is an Arabic word meaning to turn. During the whole month of
Ramadan, Muslims go through thirty days of fasting in order to burn
away their sins. During the day, Muslims do not eat or drink from
sunrise to sunset. After sunset until midnight they can eat and drink.
Then they start fasting again the next day.
During the month of Ramadan, the houses are lighted at

night with lanterns, coconut oil lamps, or seashell lamps. These are
decorated with paper buntings and ribbons. Everybody is happy
especially at night when the people break their fast.
278
Have the pupils predict: What do you think the Muslim people do after a
month of fasting?
After the month of fasting, comes a week of happiness. The datu
in a barrio sometimes gives a feast. His house is decorated with lighted
candles and lanterns. There is a display of fireworks that is always a
part of the Hari Raya Puasa celebration. There is much banging of
bamboo guns or lantakas. The datu kills a cow and plenty of meat is
cooked. There is food for everybody.
C
O
PY
Whenever a feast is held, dancing goes on to the accompaniment

of beating drums. Muslims do not allow their men and women to dance
close together. They dance far apart, hands out of reach of each other.
Usually it is an all-male group or an all-female group that dances on
the floor. The dalling-dalling is the only dance where men and women
both dance at the same time.
Have the pupils predict: What will the children do on the Hari Raya Puasa day?
EP
E
On the day of the Hari Raya Puasa, the children go from

house to house kissing hands of the old people and relatives. The
elders themselves greet one another with Assalamu Alaykum which
means Peace be with you. The Muslim child is usually taught the
alphabet in Arabic and the Koran as early as four years old. That is
why they celebrate their holidays with great interest. They know when
and why the holiday is celebrated.

Teaching Chart
What you read and what you already know helps you make a general
statement about a person, situation, or an event. This is called
generalization.
In making generalizations, think about the similiraties about the
gathered information and observations. Making generalizations is
important because it helps you know how much you understand
about what you read.

1.. Presentation/Introduction
Say: Ill read some sentences and after I read them, I want you to draw what
you imagined based on what you heard. (Teacher reads sentences in Box A).
Sams chicken won First Place in the contest. It was the heaviest
chicken in the Fair.
EP
E
Say: Draw the chicken as described in the sentence.

Teacher reads sentences in Box B.
Whats the matter, are you chicken? Sams friends asked him
when he didnt join the pole-climbing contest. They didnt know that
he is afraid of heights.
Say: Draw the chicken as described in the sentence.

2. Modeling/Teaching
Say: Are you ready to show your illustrations? Show your drawing to your
seatmate.
Does your drawing of chicken similar to your second drawing?
Youre right that they are not similar.
Lets read the sentences.
(Teacher posts the paperstrips where the sentences were written.)
What is the meaning of chicken in Box A? (bird)
How about chicken in Box B? What word in Box B can help you get the meaning
of chicken?
(afraid)
285
What is another word for afraid? (scared, coward)

Whenchicken refers to a bird,birdis the denotative meaning of it. Denotation is
the literal meaning of a word. It is the usual dictionary definition of the word.
When chicken refers to the emotion of being afraid or scared, the emotion is the
connotative meaning of chicken. Connotation refers tothe emotional / contextual
/ cultural meaning attached to a word. It also refers to shades and degrees of
meaning of a word.
Look at the two book covers (see LM). Which book cover uses the denotative
meaning of chicken? Which one uses the connotative meaning?
PY
Knowing the connotative meaning of a word can lead you to be more tactful. It
also leads you to use a more appropriate word to narrate what is happening.
Consider this:
That boy is fat.
That boy is healthy.
C
O
Which description is preferable?

Think about the connotative meaning of the words in each set:
Set 1 - pretty, cute, lovely, beautiful
Set 2 - small, minute
Set 3 - shower, rain
EP
E
The words in the set almost have the same meaning. However, each one is
used in different situations.
For example, to describe a flower, would you say a cute flower or a lovely flower?
When do you think classes might be suspended, when there is a shower or
when there is a deluge?
Study the following sentences:
Sentence 1:
When the group members discuss, they often disagree about
something.
Sentence 2:
When the group members discuss, they often argue about
something.
What do you imagine with Sentence 1? How about Sentence 2? The sentences
seem to mean the same. However, a closer look will tell you that there is a
degree or shade of difference in their meaning. The word argue in sentence 2
shows that the members more than disagree with each other.
Remember
Denotation is the specific, exact and concrete meaning
of a word. This is the meaning you will find in a dictionary.
Connotation- is an idea or quality that a word makes in
addition to its meaning. It can be positive or negative.
3. Guided Practice
What is the connotative meaning associated with the following animals?
286
Connotative Meaning
motherly, caring
wise, night-person
gentle
ruthless
dangerous, deceptive
hen
owl
dove
shark
snake
* answers given here are the usual meaning however they may vary depending on the
culture;
accept answer as long as the learner can explain/reason out for his/her given answer .
C
O
PY
Have learners give examples of other animals that have connotative

meaning.
Encourage learners to give sentences that use the denotative and
connotative meanings of the
word.
Example: Len screamed when she saw the large snake staring at her.
Len knew that a person who is a snake cant be trusted.

Hurry, Santa!
by Julie Sykes
It was Christmas Eve, Santas busiest time of the year. But Santa
was fast asleep, snoring under his blanket.
Wake up! squeaked Santas little mouse, tugging at his beard.
Hurry, Santa! You cant be late tonight.
Ouch! cried Santa, sitting up and rubbing his chin. Goodness, is
that clock right? The alarm didnt go off and Ive overslept.
PY
Santa leapt out of the bed and began to pull on his clothes. He
was such in a hurry that he put both feet in one pant leg and fell flat
on his face.
(Have pupils predict: What was Santa going to do?)
C
O
Hurry, Santa! meowed the cat. You cant be late tonight. No, I
cant, agreed Santa, getting back up. I cant be late delivering the

But the reindeer werent there! Oh no! cried Santa. Where can
they be?

Come on, weve got work to do.
At last, Santa took off, steering the sleigh toward the moon.
Go, Reindeer, go! he shouted. We cant be late tonight!
Around the world they flew, delivering their presents.
Down again, called Santa, turning the sleigh toward a farm.
Hurry, Santa! answered the reindeer. Were miles from anywhere,
and the nights almost over.
Im doing my best, boomed Santa, flicking the reins.
Before he knew what was happening, the reindeer quickened their
pace.
Whoa, Santa cried, but it was too late. Landing with a bump, the
sleigh skidded crazily across the snow.
Ooooooh deeeaar! cried Santa.
(Have pupils predict: What do you think happened to Santa?)

The sleigh had gotten stuck in a giant snowdrift. Santa scrambled to
his feet and rubbed his bruised bottom. Nothing broken, he said.
But we must hurry!

(Have pupils predict: What will Santa and the animals do after they stuck
in the snow?)
When the reindeer had untangled themselves, they tried to dig out the
sleigh. They tugged and pulled and pushed as hard as they could, but
the sleigh was completely stuck in the snow.
Its no use, wailed the reindeer. We cant move this sleigh on our
own.
We must keep trying, said Santa. The sky is getting lighter, and
were running out of time.
Suddenly, Santa heard a loud neigh.
(Have pupils predict: Who would that be?)

Trotting toward them was a very large horse.

Hurry, Santa! she neighed. Youve still got presents to deliver. Ill

So they all pulled together, even Santas little mouse, but it was no
good. The sleigh was still stuck.
Hurry, Santa! called the rooster from the barnyard. Its nearly
morning.
I am trying to hurry, puffed Santa. One more pull, everyone!
At last the sleigh began to move
And Santa tumbled backward, cheering loudly.
Hurry, Santa! called all the animals. The sun is rising. Youve got to
finish your rounds before the children wake up.

We did it! yawned Santa. I wasnt ----
He stopped talking and stared at his sack in dismay. At the very
bottom was a present.
Oh no, how awful! he cried. Ive forgotten someone!
Then Santa saw that all the animals were laughing at him.
That present is for you, said the reindeer. Its from all of us.
Hurry, Santa! added the little mouse. You should open your present.
Its Christmas Day!
Yes, I should, chuckled Santa. Now, I wonder what it is

The Carabao Who Refused to Kneel

by Lina Diaz de Rivera
PY
On the feast of San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of farmers,

the people also honor the carabao, the farmers helper. Itoy had a pet
carabao, Cara. He had taken care of Cara since he was old enough to
lead her to pasture when Tatay asked for his help.
Tomorrow, Cara will make her debut at the Carabao Festival.
Decked with lovely ribbons and garlands, the carabaos are first paraded
through the town and taken to the church patio. There, the carabaos
are blessed by the priest and then brought to the town plaza where
awards are given to the strongest and the best-looking carabaos.
(Have the pupils predict: What do you think is the most thrilling
contest in the Carabao Festival?)
C
O
But the most thrilling contest is the carabao race. The finish line
is in front of the church where the statue of San Isidro Labrador stands.
As the carabaos reach at the center, the church bells ring and as if on
signal, the carabaos kneel as a sign or respect to their patron saint.
(Have the pupils predict: What do you think Itoy did to prepare
Cara for the contest?)
EP
E
Itoy spent many hours teaching Cara how to kneel. He was sure
that even if Cara failed to win any award, she would make the best
kneeling ever seen.
306
(Have the pupils predict: How do you think Cara looked during
the beauty contest?)
PY
At dawn on the day of the festival. Itoys mother and sister

prepared Cara for the beauty contest. Cara wore a coronet of pink
paper flowers with blue centers. Caras tail was plaited and threaded
with ribbons of different colors. Her hooves had red polish on them.
She looked so serious that Itoy laughed and laughed.
At the parade, Cara looked stunning! She actually won the Bestlooking Carabao Award! Itoy was very proud of her.
Then it was time for the race. Cara and Itoy, the youngest
jockey that year, did not make it to another award but they were not
the last either.
When the race was over, the carabaos gathered at the patio for
the famous kneeling show.
C
O
(Have the pupils predict: What did Cara do when they gathered
at the patio after the race?)
When the bells rang, all the carabaos slowly made their salute.
All except Cara. Itoy was dismayed. He tried giving Cara their secret
cue: a slight flick in the left ear. Nothing.
(Have the pupils predict: What do you think Itoy felt when Cara
did not kneel? What did Itoy do?)
EP
E
Although most of the people did not notice Caras not having
knelt, Itoy was very embarrassed. He wondered if Tatay, Nanay, and
the rest would blame him. He jumped from the carabaos back and
flicking her left ear. Itoy whispered in Caras ear, Cara, now! But
Cara did not listen.
(Have the pupils predict: Why do you think Cara not kneel in the
patio?)
She was looking at a flower that dangled over her nose. During
the race, her coronet loosened and the flower dropped exactly in front
of her eyes. No whisper, nor ringing bells, no flick meant anything to
her. All that mattered was the pink flower tickling her nose.
307
(Have the pupils predict: What did Itoy and his family do to Cara
when she did not kneel?)
PY
Disappointed, Itoy led her out of the patio to join the rest at the
fiesta table where finger food was being served.
Itoys family was very nice about Caras disapppointing
performance. They fixed the offending coronet and even fed Cara as
lovingly as before.
Itoy, said his father. Take Cara home now. She needs rest.
Besides, there will be guests in time for lunch. Ill be joining you
shortly.
Itoy climbed on Caras back, took Caras reins and headed
home. They had to pass the church again and as they crossed the
patio, the bells started to ring to signal the start of the mass.
C
O
(Have the pupils predict: What do you think Cara do when they
passed the church?)
To Itoys surprise, Cara stopped, faced the church and Itoy felt
the animal slowly bending her knees. She was making her graceful
salute!
EP
E
Some children playing in the patio saw her and clapped their
hands. Cara flicked her tail. Itoy jumped from his perch and hugged
his carabao around the neck.
You did it, Cara! That was perfect! Itoy said happily. Cara
replied with a low grunt.

The Wind and the Sun
(Aesops Fable)
The wind and the sun argued one day over which one was the stronger.
Spotting a man traveling on the road, they sported a challenge to see which one
could remove the coat from the mans back the quickest.
The wind began. He blew strong gusts of air, so strong that the man could
barely walk against them. But the man clutched his coat tight against him. Then, the
wind blew harder and longer. The harder the wind blew, the tighter the man held
his coat against him. The wind blew until he was tired, but he could not remove
the coat from the mans back.
It was now the suns turn. He gently sent his beams upon the traveler. The
sun did very little, but quietly shone upon his head and back until the man became
so warm that he took off his coat and headed for the nearest shady tree.

Oh, yes. Thats a good idea. Together, we can

The Sleeping Beauty
Adapted
In a place many years ago, the most beautiful princess was born to king and
queen. They named her Rosamond and gave a great party during her baptism.
All the wise women were invited except the thirteenth wise woman.
On the day of the party, the thirteenth wise came. She was so angry for she
did not have a golden plate. She left the palace hurriedly and said, Rosamond will
not die of hurting her finger with a spindle but she will sleep for a hundred years
instead.
The king ordered his servants to burn all the spindles in the palace.
Rosamond grew up and become the loveliest princess in the kingdom. On
her fifteenth birthday, she went around the palace. She entered in one of the rooms
and saw a woman with spindle. She borrowed the spindle and was wounded.
Immediately she fell into a deep sleep. All people in the kingdom went asleep too,
including the animals.
After a hundred years, a handsome young prince came to the palace. He
was suprised of the thick vines that covered the palace. He went inside and saw
the lovely sleeping princess. For him, she was the most beautiful princess he ever
saw. He fell in love with an instant. He knelt down and kissed her.
The princess woke up. All the people and animals woke up, too.

Listen well as your teacher reads a story. Answer the question that follows.
The Rebellious Ant
by Pedro Pablo Sacristan
Adapted form freestorieskids.com
Once upon a time, there was an ant that was fed up with being
an ant. She was tired of having to wait long and hated having to do just
exactly what everyone else does.
She wanted to be like the ladybirds and the beetles, and live a free
and unworried life.
The ant tried hard to make her dream a reality, and then finally,
one windy day, she grabbed a big leaf that came flying past, and up they
both went, higher and higher.
When she was so high up that she could no longer make out the
insects on the ground, she couldnt believe what came into view. Raised
up from out of the surrounding plants was the magnificent anthill, which
was visible from afar.
There was no sign of any beetle or ladybird nests, nor anything
else made by other insects. There was only the anthill. With this sight,
she realized the things she hate which made the ants build something
much bigger than any other insect could.
4. If you were to give a conclusion to the story, what would it be?
a. The ant felt very proud of being an ant because ants work together and
follow rules that enable them to build something much greater.
b. The ant would continue to pursue her dreams of doing different from the
usual and fly high like ladybirds.
c. The ant would be like the ladybirds and the beetles, and live a free and
unworried life.
d. There was no sign of any beetle or ladybird nests; or anything else
made by other insects so the ant would make one.

A Unicorn
Once upon a time, in a far away place, there was special kind of
animal. This animal lived in a beautiful forest. It was like a spirit. The
animal was called a unicorn and it had a special magic power.
The creator gave the unicorn the special magical power to help
it give confidence to young children. The unicorn was able to make
their dreams come true. The unicorn gave the children confidence and
hope. It could give them the magic of youth and confidence to reach for
their dreams, goals, or beliefs. He could do this because the children
were pure like little angels that come from the heavens.
One day a young girl named Dalsie was walking in the forest. She
saw a beautiful unicorn standing in a pond with flowers surrounding
him His long mane was orange like the sunset. He had a blue shiny
coal like the blue sky.
Dalsie talked to the unicorn and the unicorn spoke to her. It gave
her the confidence that she could succeed in life. The unicorn promised
that he would watch over her. He told her to close her eyes. When
Dalsie opened her eyes, he vanished into the forest. All around in the
forest were butterflies of all colors.
It was getting dark and Dalsie had to leave and to go home. Many
years later, when Dalsie had grown up, she remembered that day. The
promise of the unicorn had made her wish come true.

Oceans and lakes have a great deal in common, but they are also
quite different. They are both bodies of water. That being said,
oceans are very large bodies of salt water, while lakes are much
smaller and are fresh water. Lakes are usually surrounded by land,
while oceans are surrounded by continents. Both have plants and
animals in them. The ocean is home to the largest animals on the
planet, whereas lakes support much smaller forms of life. When

enjoy.

I can never do it, the little kite said.
As he looked at the others high over his head;
I know I should fall if I try to fly.
Try, said the big kite; only try!
Or I fear you will never learn at all.
But the little kite said, Im afraid Ill fall.
The big kite nodded: Ah, well, goodbye;
Im off, and he rose toward the tranquil sky.
Then the little kites paper stirred at the sight,
And trembling he shook himself free for flight.
First whirling and frightened, then braver grown,
Up, up the kite rose through the air alone,
Till the big kite looking down could see
The little one rising steadily.
And how the little kite thrilled with pride,
As he sailed with the big kite side by side;
While far below he could see the ground,
And the boys like small spots moving around.
They rested high in the quiet air,
And only the birds and the clouds were there.
Oh how happy I am! the little kite cried,
And all because I was brave, and tried.

The Poor Bunnys Magic Present
by Pedro Pablo Sacristn
Once upon a time there was a place where animals were suffering
greatly from drought and hunger. A very poor bunny was walking
sadly through the fields when, all of a sudden, a wizard appeared in
front of him.
(Say: What do you think the wizard will do?)
The wizard offered the bunny a bag filled with little bouquets of
flowers.
They are magical, and theyre even more magical if you know
how to use them properly, said the wizard. The bunny was dying of
hunger, but he decided not to eat the bouquets. He wanted to put
them to good use.
On his way home, the bunny met a very old and poor sheep who
could hardly walk. Can you give me something? asked the sheep.
(Say: What do you think will the bunny give the sheep?)
The bunny had nothing except his bouquets, and since they
were magical, he was unwilling to give them to the sheep. But he
remembered how his parents had always taught him to share everything;
so he pulled a bouquet out of the bag and gave it to the sheep. As
soon as he did this, the bunch shone with a thousand colors. Magic
was at work.
The bunny continued on his way, feeling both happy and a bit
annoyed. He had given away one of the bouquets, but at the same
time it was obvious that the sheep needed it more than he did. As he
continued his journey, the very same thing happened to the bunny
when he met a blind duck and then a lame rooster. When the bunny arrived home, he had only one magical bouquet left. He told his
parents all about what had happened with the wizard.
(Say: What do you think will be the reaction of his parents?)
His parents were very proud of the bunnys behaviour. He was
about to pull out the final bouquet, when his little brother arrivedhome,
crying with hunger. The bunny gave his brother the magical bouquet.
359
At that moment, with a great rumble of thunder, the wizard appeared

again. He asked the bunny Where are the magical bouquets I gave
you? What have you done with them? The bunny was frightened and
he started to say sorry. But the wizard interrupted, saying, Didnt
I tell you that if you used them well theyd be even more magical?
Well, go outside and see what youve done!
The bunny went out, shaking. What he saw was something unbelievable. As far as the eye could see, the whole countryside had
turned into wonderful, green farmland. Farmland with enough water and food to feed all the animals!
The bunny felt very happy that he had acted as he did, and that
the magic of his generosity would bring happiness to everyone.

C. During Listening
Read the story. At indicated points, ask the children what they think will
happen next in the story.
Kite Flying
In Japan, kite flying is celebrated every fourth
day of May. Kites shaped like carps are flown by the
boys in every household. It is believed that kite flying
makes boys persistent and successful in any worthwhile
activity.
The carp, which is a kite fish is a symbol of patience and perseverance. The fish tries to swim against
the strong currents although it is small.
In India, the kites look like shields, while in Australia, they look like boats. In Brazil, the kite is shaped
like a falcon which is a small eagle (lawin).
Say: How about in our country, what design do we usually make for our kites?
Here in the Philippines, kites are shaped like

pretty butterflies.
Every man, woman, boy, and girl flies kite in Korea. Children write their names on the kites on January 14 of each year. As kites go up high in the air, the
children make a wish for success. They also wish that
the kite may carry off all their troubles the whole year.
Then, they cut the strings loose and let their kites fly
away.
One day, a Korean general set a lantern upon a
dragon-shaped kite. He wanted to inspire his soldiers
who believed that the dragon is a symbol of good luck.
Say: What do you think did he do to inspire the soldiers?
369
He made them think that a new star had appeared as a sign of divine help. Very much inspired,
the soldiers fought like wild cats. They won the battle
and thanked the dragon-shaped kite which had brought
them victory.
Kites also played important role in China. In
olden days, an emperor was held prisoner in a castle
tower. His loyal men made a huge kite and sent it flying
near the tower window. The emperor reached out, held
onto the kite and safely escaped from the tower.

B. During Listening
Tubby, the Pot Bellied Cat
by Pedro Pablo Sacristan
Adapted by Michelle Mercado
Andy never wanted to go to bed on time. His parents had explained
to him how important it was to go to bed early and get a good rest.
But Andy paid no attention to them, and his parents didnt know what
to do. That was, until one weekend when they were visiting Andys
grandparents.
Grandpa Peter heard all about it and said: This sounds like a job
for Tubby, my pot bellied cat, They loaded the cat in the car and
returned home. Tubby was a slow, and very fat cat. He wasnt much
of a bother because most of the time no one knew where he was.
That night, at bedtime, the same problem arose. Andy had no intention
of going to bed, and even though his parents waited a while to see if
Tubby would solve the problem, nothing happened.
Grandpa really does make up some nonsense, said Andys
father, I really think hes starting to lose it. Andys father is quite
disappointed.
Hours later, Andy finally decided to go to bed. But what a surprise
when he entered his bedroom!
(Ask: What do you think surprised Andy?)
Tubby was in his bed, totally sprawled out, pot belly in the air, and
snoring like an express train. That was impolite to be sleeping on my
bed, Andy tried to push the cat, but there was no way of moving him
an inch. That night he hardly slept a wink, being pushed over into one
tiny corner of his bed.
378
The next day the same thing happened, even though Andy was
much more tired from not having slept.
On the third day, he had understood that if he wanted to sleep
on his bed, he would have to get into it before Tubby did. That
night, when his parents merely started hinting at the topic of bedtime,
Andy shot upstairs like a bullet, and dived into bed. His parents could
not believe it. It was unbelievable. They knew nothing about Tubby in
the bed. They misunderstood why Andy went to bed on time, without
complaint. They were so happy about this that they stayed up quite
late, celebrating, but... can you guess where Tubby slept that night?
Answering of Motive Question
Ask: Who is Tubby in the story? (the pot bellied cat).
Who else are the characters in the story?
What was the problem in the story?
What made Andy decide to sleep early?
(Possible answers: He wanted to sleep on his bed comfortably.
He wanted to be in bed before Tubby.)

(foolish, fell into the sea, basket full of fish)
There was a dog walking on the seashore. He

went on island hopping with his master. Along his
way, he found a bone. He quickly picked it up and
ran back to the boat. As he was looking down on the
side of the boat, he saw another dog in the water
with a big bone. He barked at the dog. How foolish
for him to bark with a bone in his mouth! His bone
fell into the sea. The dog in the water disappeared
as the bone fell. The dog was so sad that his bone
was gone, too. But his master brought home a basket full of fish. The dog will surely have something
for dinner.
by: Michelle L. Mercado

Oh, no! he cried. We are only four!
Ask: What happened to the other fisherman?
Let me count, said the second fisherman.
One, two, three, four!
You are right! We are only four!
Maybe one of us fell into the sea! cried the third fisherman.
What shall we do? asked the fourth fisherman.
Ask: What did the fishermen do?
And they began to cry.
Ask: Who do you think would help the fishermen find
the missing fisherman?
A little girl came.
Why are you crying? she asked.
Five of us went to the sea to fish.
But only four of us came back!
One of us is lost! answered the fishermen.
They all cried again. Boo hu hu!
Ask: Can a little girl like her help the fishermen find the
lost fisherman?
Let me count, said the little girl.
One, two, three, four, five! There are five of you!
Why, what a smart girl you are! said the five fishermen.
They were so happy. They gave her a basket full of fish.

Text
Will You Go to School
This Summer?
Many schools find that
pupils learn better and
remember more when they
go to school all year long.
Does that mean pupils

wont get a vacation? No.
It means that pupils will
get many short vacation
breaks instead of just a
long one.
What do pupils say about
year- round school?
Its good!
- I can remember more of
what I learned.
- I like having more breaks.
- Summer gets boring, and
I miss my friends.
Its bad!
- I cant go to summer
camp.
- I like to play outside and
swim in the warm weather.
- Its too hot to be in school
in the summer.
Think Aloud
Read the first part aloud.
Then say: I think the first
sentence is a fact because
it says that Many schools
find. Finding is a result
of studies made. So this
statement is a FACT. A fact
is a statement based on
truth and can be proven to
be true. It is not an opinion
because an opinion is a
statement based on feelings,
beliefs or emotions.
Ask: Do you agree that this
statement is a fact?
Read the next part
Say: I think this statement
is also a FACT because it
explains what it means by
having all year long school.
Say: Now lets go to the next
part.
Ask a pupil to read each line.
After each line ask the class
if it is a FACT or OPINION.
Ask: Why do you say it is a
fact / opinion?
Say: This line is a fact/opinion.
Ask: Why is it a fact /opinion?
Do the same in the last part.
Ask: Can you add more fact/s or opinion/s about this topic?
Say: Answer the Individual Assessment Sheet.
414
A. Guided Practice
Show a diary entry.
Say: Here is a diary entry. As I read it, listen for facts and opinions. Let the
pupils read next.
Refer to LM, Do and Learn, Reading Comprehension: Fact and Opinion (A)
- (B)
Ask: How many sentences are there? Lets identify if they are facts or
opinions. Lets answer the chart.
B. Independent Practice
Say: Now, read the selection silently. Study the sentences in the boxes.
Copy each in your paper or notebook then identify the sentence as
fact or opinion.
Refer to LM, Do More and Learn
Grammar
Say: Here are statements taken from the selection we discussed yesterday.
Ask pupils to read the sentences.
Refer to Find Out and Learn, Grammar: Simple Sentence, LM
Give pupils a few moments to study the group of sentences.
Say: Let us now study sentences 1-3.
Ask: What is a subject? What is a predicate?
What is the subject in sentence 1?
What is the predicate in sentence 1?
Put identifying marks to give visual emphasis.
Example: I can remember more of what I learned.
How many subjects? How many predicates?
Say: If a sentence has only one subject and only one predicate it is called
a SIMPLE sentence.
Do the same for sentences 2-3.
If there is only one subject, it is called a SIMPLE SUBJECT.
If there is only one subject, it is called a SIMPLE PREDICATE.
Say: Let us now study sentences 4-6.
Ask: What is the subject in sentence 4? What is the predicate?
How many subjects are there?
415
If there are two subjects, it is called a compound subject.

Example: Ana and Jane can remember more of what they learned.
Do the same for sentences 5-6.
Say: If a sentence has a compound subject and a simple predicate, it is
still a simple sentence.
Refer to Try and Learn LM
C. Generalization
What is a compound subject?
Refer to LM Do More and Learn
D. Assignment
Look for two simple sentences with compound subjects in your other
subject area books. Copy them in your notebook.

What trait did they show?
(Engagement Activity #5: Kindness Award)
Have you experienced giving someone a flower?
How did that someone react or feel?
How did you feel when you gave someone flowers?
In what instances or occasions do you give someone flowers?
Aside from flowers, what else can you give someone to show that you
want to be friends?
Say: Here is the first part of the story. Let us study and identify the
facts and opinions presented. Remember that facts are
statements based on truth and can be proven while opinions are
based on feelings, beliefs and emotions.
Ask some pupils to read the paragraph.
Refer to LM, Try and Learn, Fact and Opinion
Say: Let us study each sentence and identify if it is a fact or an opinion.
Sentences:
Once upon a time, there were three cuddly little wolves.
They had soft fur and fluffy tails.
They live with their mother.
The first was black, the second was gray, and the third was white.
Ask: Is the first sentence a fact or an opinion? What word says it is an
opinion?
Is the second sentence a fact or an opinion? What words say
that it is an opinion? Is the third sentence a fact or an opinion?
What made it a fact? Is the fourth sentence a fact or an opinion?
Why do you say it is a fact?
C. Practice

Grammar
Say: This is a Problem-Solution Chart.
Problem
Solution
Ask: What is a problem? What is a solution?
Say: A problem is something that is difficult to deal with: something that
is a source of trouble, worry, etc. A solution is something that is
used or done to deal with and end a problem: something that solves
a problem.
Say: Let us identify the problems encountered by the three little wolves
and the solutions they made. Ask pupils to read the sentences. After
all the sentences have been read, ask them which the problems are.
Post on the board / chart. Then when all problems are identified, ask
them which the corresponding solution to the problem is. Post opposite
the problem.
Read the list of problems. Then read the list of solutions.
Problems:
The three little wolves must build a house.
The big bad pig destroyed their first house.
The three little wolves must build a house.
The big bad pig destroyed their second house.
Solutions:
The three little wolves asked the kangaroo to give them
red and yellow bricks and built their first house.
428
The three little wolves asked the beaver to give them

concrete and built their second house.
The three little wolves asked the flamingo to give them
flowers and built their third house.
Let us study the solutions.

Ask: What is the subject in solution/sentence #1?
What are the predicates in solution/sentence #1?
Do the same in solution/sentence #2-3.
1. The three little wolves asked the kangaroo to give them red and yellow
bricks and built their first house.
2. The three little wolves asked the beaver to give them concrete and
built their second house.
3. The three little wolves asked the flamingo to give them flowers and
built their third house.
Ask: How many subjects are there in each sentence?
How many predicates are there in each sentence?
Say: If there are two predicates in a sentence, it is called a compound
predicate.
Simple Predicate + Simple Predicate = Compound Predicate
If a sentence has a simple subject and a compound predicate, it is
still a simple sentence.
Simple Subject + Compound Predicate = Simple Sentence
Write a Letter of Advice to the three little wolves or to the big bad pig using
simple sentences with compound predicates.
Ask the pupils to read their letter to their seatmates and call a few to read
to the class.
