Specific Objective/s:
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to know the following:
A. What are proverbs?
B.What are the distinguishing features of proverbs?

Explore

Let’s read the following sayings and let us try to know what it means.

 An empty container makes a lot of noise.

Ang lalagyang walang laman ay maingay.

What does it mean?

Which will make more noise: a jar that contains one marble or a one
that is packed full with marbles? Similarly, a person who doesn't know
what he or she is talking about will often put on more of a show than
someone who relies on facts. Another way to interpret this is that a
hollow container makes more noise when struck than a full one.

 Better late than never.

Huli man daw at magaling, naihahabol din.

What does it mean?

Even if you should have already done something in the past, there is
value in completing it today.

Learn

The sayings presented are examples of Filipino proverbs.

Filipino Proverbs are wise sayings. They are handed from one generation to another.
It is quite difficult to trace their roots since they were originally in oral form. They are culled
from the wisdom of daily living, providing lessons and observations about life.

Proverbs manifest not only the richness of Philippine culture but also the values and
philosophy of Filipinos.
 The anthology of ASEAN FOLK LITERATURE edited by Damiana L. Eugenio,
proverbs was classified into six categories:

1. Proverbs expressing a general attitude towards life and the laws that govern
life.
Example:
The good fortune which is intended for me will come even
without me seeking it.
(Ang kapalaran ko di ko man hanapin, dudulog lalapit
kung talagang akin. -Tagalog)
2. Ethical proverbs recommending certain virtues and condemning certain vices.
Example:
Do not put off tomorrow what you can do today.
(Dai mo pagpaagahan an magigibo mo ngonyan.- Bikol)
3. Proverbs expressing a system of values.
Example:
It takes only a moment to squander what took a year to save.
(Isa ka tuig nga tiponon, is aka takna wagwagon. – Hiligaynon)
4. Proverbs expressing general truths and observations about life and human
nature.
Example:
A good woman is worth more than rubies.
(Ing mayap a babai, maiguit ya karing rubi. – Pampango)
5. Humorous proverbs
Example:
After shopping for a long time, he ended up with a poor purchase.
(Kay tagal nanindahan, kabili-bili’y balindang. –Tagalog)
6. Miscellaneous Proverbs
It is better to go home and weave a net than to stay on the shore and watch
the fish.
(Mapipia nu sumavat ka a maysaosaod su sagap as canu caviden mu du
calawangan q manalamad su among. –Ivatan)

USE OF STRESS, INTONATION AND AFFIXES IN GENERATING DIFFERENT
MEANINGS OF WORDS/ SENTENCES
Day 4

Learning competency: Supply other words or expressions that complete an analogy.

Specific Objective/s:
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to know the following:
A. How does stress and intonation generate different meanings of words/sentences?
B. How do affixes change the meaning of a certain word?

Explore

Say, “I have something to tell you” in a way three ways:

a. happy and excited

b. sad and worried

c. nervous and worried

Process questions:

Did you see how intonation affects the real meaning of the sentence?

Learn

Correct intonation and stress are the keys to speaking English fluently with
good pronunciation. Intonation and stress refers to the music of the English
language. Words that are stressed are keys to understanding and using the correct
intonation brings out the meaning.
Stress is the relative emphasis given to a syllable or a word in a sentence.
Usually stressed words are Content words.
Content words such as:
Nouns
Example:kingdom, Luna
Most principal verbs:
Example visit, construct
Adjectives
Example: beautiful, interesting
Adverbs
Example: often, carefully
 Non-stressed words are considered Function words.

Function words such as:

Determiners
Example; the, a, some, a few
Auxiliary verbs
Example; don’t, am, can, were
Prepositions
Example; before, next to, opposite
Conjunctions
Example; but, while, as
Pronouns
Example; they, she, us
Intonation- means the rising and lowering of the voice when speaking.
1. Rising-falling intonation is found in:
 Declarative sentences
 Commands (very strong)
 “wh” questions
Examples:
We love to liste to our elders’ words of wisdom.
Follow your elder’s advice.
What’s the importance of following your parent’s advice?
2. In rising intonation the pitch rises and stays high at the end of the sentence. When
you hear rising intonation, it indicates that the speaker is waiting for a reply. Rising
intonation is found in:
 Yes/no questions
 Situations when someone is expressing doubt or surprise
Examples:
Do you follow your mother’s advice?
Are you really following your parents’ rules?

Affixes are groups of letter that when added to words change the meaning of the
word entirely. In many cases the word is flipped to the opposite of the original meaning.
Often affixes are added to roots (of Greek or Latin origin). The new words formed by these
additions can affect the complete effect of the word have on the sentences they are placed.
Affixes are of two types:
1. prefixes
2. suffixes

PURPOSE OF WRITING AND FORMS OF LANGUAGE
Day 5

Learning competency: Supply other words or expressions that complete an analogy.

Specific Objective/s:
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to know the following:
A. What is the purpose of producing literary pieces?
B. What is the difference between written and oral forms of literary pieces?

Guided question:

1. What do each picture wants to convey?

 The first picture tells about entertainment, the next picture provides
information about Elvis Presley and the last picture wants to persuade us to
join the U.S. army.
 Learn

Everything you read has a purpose. When an author writes something (book,
magazine, textbook, and newspaper article), he/she chooses his/her words for a purpose.
The author’s purpose is the main reason that he/she has for writing the selection.
When an author writes to entertain, persuade, or inform, he/she has his/her point of view on
the subject. Point of view is an author’s opinion about the subject. The author’s purpose and
point of view go together. When you are able to recognize the author’s purpose, you will
have a better understanding of the selection.
 3 Basic Purposes of Writing:
1. Entertain
- To write for the sake of writing; to give the audience something to
enjoy; to create/tell a vivid story
2. Inform
- a piece of writing that gives information; offers knowledge to readers;
provide readers help for completing a task
3. Persuade
- To get your audience to agree with you; To make someone believe
something

Language is important in every aspect of our lives because it allows people to

communicate in a manner that enables the sharing of common ideas. Everyday we are
exposed to language in all aspects of our lives; we use language in two forms.
 Oral language
- is designed to be listened to and to sound conversational, which means that
word choice must be simpler, more informal, and more repetitive.
 Written language
- uses a larger vocabulary and is more formal.

Engage

What is the dominant purpose of the following types of text?

 Novels

Read one literary piece (proverb, short story, poem, etc). Take that written article and
translate it into language that would be orally appropriate. What changes did you make to
adjust the newspaper article from written to oral language? Orally present the revised article

Record using your mobile phone your conversation from the time your started reciting what
you have just read up to comments.
