GREETINGS
Good Morning students!

Checking of Attendance

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.

Before we start our lesson, do you want to

sing a song first? Are you familiar with
Barney’s I Love You Song?
Okay, that’s good, so are you ready to sing
and have fun today?

WARM UP
Let us sing Barney’s I Love You Song.

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.

What can you say about the song?

Does it tell us something important that we
have already forgotten to do nowadays?

What else have you noticed which you

conclude that the song is all about
love/family?

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
belongingness and love. For this morning,
our discussion will be in relation to a family.

Everybody had just sung very well, it’s now

time to improve your pronunciation more.

PRONUNCIATION DRILL
Read the following words:

Words with augh = /Ô/

Caught
Naught
Taught
Naughty
Daughter

Presentation
Before we start our lesson, I have here a
box. Let’s play What’s In The Box Challenge.
Are you familiar with that? All you have to
do is put your hand inside the box and guess
the thing that is inside the box correctly.
Okay? Any volunteer?

Show pictures of a Mother (a) and a Cake (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.

Procedures in Reading:
 The students will be grouped into 5
groups.
 The teacher will demonstrate how
to read the poem correctly.
 Each group will read one stanza in
chorus.

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?

POST-READING
After reading the poem, let us now answer

their Mother?
2. Why was Liz aglow with glee?
3. What made Liz cry out, “For that you’ll
pay?
4. Why did Mother almost lose her cool?

their Mother best? How did he/she show

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.

Let us have more examples to better

understand Cause and Effect Relationship,
okay? Now, I need a volunteer.

1. Please turn off the lights.

2. Please pop the balloon.
 3. Please

Now I have here more examples on the

board. Let’s have a little fun okay? I will play
the Barney Song again while passing the
stuffed toy Barney to your seatmate. When
the song stops, the person who is holding
Barney will answer the question on the
board. All you have to do is find the correct
ice cream flavour for each cone to match the
correct Cause and Effect Relationship, is it
clear?

1. Kevin has a fever. / because he played

in the rain.
2. The fan was happy / because the team
won the game.
3. The family ordered a large pizza/
because they forgot to make dinner.
4. Douglas would like to get a new video
game. E/ His video game fell in the
swimming pool. C
5. Maddie was crying. E / She lost her
new doll. C

Application
Group with each Cause and Effect

I have here sentence strips that has either a

Cause or Effect sentence. I will pass it to
each of you.

When I say “Go,” please walk or look

around until you find a match. When you’re
done, stay with your partner and you will
share your answer in front of the class. Is it
clear?

III. EVALUATION
Read the following sentences.
Write C before the sentence for the cause and write E for the part that is the effect.

1. _____ because it is her birthday.

2. _____ Ben, Liz and Bess kissed and hugged their mother.
3. _____ Liz cried out.
4. _____ Because Ben grabbed the cone of ice cream and slipped away.
5. _____ Mama almost lost her cool.

IV. 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”.
