Self-correct when reading (F)
Observe politeness at all times (A)
A. Introduction/Preliminary Activities
“We see and enjoy many things around us such as beautiful sunrises and sunsets, trees and flowers,
rivers and mountains, birds and animals. We smell the fragrance of flowers and feel the change of seasons. We
have eyes to see all these and lips to praise the beauty of the creation. Have you ever thought who has created
such beautiful things for us? Who has blessed us with the senses of sight, smell and feeling?” (Satya)
Let the class do the Think-Pair-Share Activity. Model first the activity.
First step is THINK. Think about three things you are thankful for. (Model Think Aloud: Hmm...I am thinking
about the things I am thankful. First, I am thankful for the job that I have. Second, I am thankful for my family
and friends. And thirdly, I am thankful for the roses that bloom in my garden.)
Second step is PAIR. Turn to your partner. (Choose one pupil to be your partner.)
Third step is SHARE. Share to your partner the three things you are thankful for. (Model: First, I am
thankful for the job that I have. Second, I am thankful for my family and friends. And thirdly, I am thankful for the
roses that bloom in my garden.)
Remind them to use the proper expression while sharing. Likewise, remind them to be polite when
someone is sharing. To be polite is to show good manners or respect for the one speaking by listening
attentively and not interrupting.
But before continuing to Think-Pair-Share review first the different facial expressions.
Let the class match the facial expression with the emotion. Ask the pupils to demonstrate to their partner
the different facial expression.
