round of applause.
In the first activity that you did, you were
able to use such expressions in giving your
own opinion or beliefs and these are
considered as Opinion-Marking Signals

today's youth, your viewpoint is essential
because you must provide a stable base for
your generation, particularly our nation. You
have the ability to make the world or our
country joyful rather than miserable.
Based on previous activities, I'm sure you

In delivering your speech, it is also
important for you to learn the Correct Sounds
Of English.
The English Language possesses a
measured flow that creates a harmonious
pattern of sounds and rhythm of the English
Language.
Furthermore, there are certain speech
features that can greatly help learners and (Students will listen to the discussion)
speakers of English to produce utterances
that flow steadily, spontaneously, and
coherently. These features are:
1. Stress-it is the emphasis given to a certain
syllable of a word, a phrase, or a
sentence. A change in stress affects its
meaning.
Examples:
EXport (n) exPORT (v)
OBject (n) obJECT (v)
PREsent (n) preSENT (v)
PROject (n) proJECT (v)
REcord (n) reCORD (v)
2. Pitch-relative highness or lowness of a
tone or voice.
3. Juncture-it is a transition or a period
of change between successive speech sounds
or between a speech sound an silence. In
pronouncing the twin words with identical
sounds, you observe a juncture or a pause or
a silence between the words to make them
clear.
Examples:
Night rate Nitrate
Ice cream I scream
Heal eyes he lies
Keep sticking keeps ticking
We’ll own we loan
Do you have any clarifications class?
(All students)
None sir.
b. Guided Instruction
So far, We have learned about the
expressions or signals to introduce opinions
and speech features that can greatly help us
in English to produce utterances that flow
steadily.
Next activity is a group collaboration and
each group should answer the chosen
question using opinion-marking signals and
the 3 speech features.
c. Collaborative Work
This time, I want you to group
yourselves in to four and each should
have a representative to pick one topic
written in the rolled pieces of paper.
Topics:
Does the traditional classroom
address contemporary
society’s needs?
Is climate change already
irreversible?
Is parental support essential
for the future success of
children?
Can people save nature using
technology (or destroy it)?
I will give you 20 minutes to write a
short persuasive essay on your
selected topic, and then you will select
a group member to recite the work in
front. Reporter, remember to apply the
three speech elements while
presenting the essay.

“There's only one dose of COVID-19
vaccine left. And you have to choose
who to give it to either between a 15-
year-old or a senior citizen of 70 years
old. Who would you choose to give it
to and why?”
(Students will start answering)
Pass your papers.
For your assignment, I want you to
use the same topic in your activity but
instead of 3-5 sentences, this time,
make it a 3 paragraph essay. Use your
written persuasive opinion essay in
delivering a speech. Take note of the
use of stress, pitch and juncture in
your delivery. Submit a video of your
speech. The deadline of submission is
next week. Am I clear?
