Notes to the Teacher

This lesson is intended to develop
the Naturalist intelligence of pupils as
well as the Visual learning modality.
Through the use of pictures and written
descriptions of the different events in
the story, the Visual learners will be
able to sequence the key concepts of
the story.

The Language/ Speech activity makes use of

choral reading to make pupils appreciate better
the importance of trees, which are part of nature.
Also, in the enrichment portion of the lesson,
their concern and love for the environment will
be put into use through the plans they will make,
to be able to conserve trees in their respective
barangays.

As an offshoot of the lesson, in the agreement

portion, the pupils interpersonal skills will also
be enhanced through the reflections they write on
their individual journals.
