Review
Let’s have a review of what we have
discussed last time about Possessive
Nouns.
1. Possessive nouns show_______of ownership
something.
2. What are the symbols that we add to apostrophe and s
show possessive form of the noun
B. Learning Activities-
1. Main Activity
Let us widen our vocabulary through
learning the meaning of the following
words:
Grumbling-complaining about something
in a bad-tempered way
Prowling-moving around without being
noticed
Weeping-shed tears
For our lesson today, we will start with a
short story.
Do you know the story about “The Boy
who cried Wolf”?
Take note of the following questions first
because we will answer them after
reading. Will you read the following guide
questions? (a pupil will read the questions)
1. Why did the villagers get mad?
2. Why is it important to tell the truth?
(The teacher will read the story)
Let’s go back to the questions earlier. Will
you read and answer question#1?
Why did the villagers get mad? The villagers got mad because they found
out that the boy was lying.
Why is it important to tell the truth? It is important to tell the truth so other
people will believe and trust us.
Now what lesson can we get from the Always speak the truth
story?
Another lesson that we can get from the
story is “Lying breaks trust”.When we lie,
we could break someone
‘s trust. So the next time that we say
something, they might not believe or trust
us anymore.
To prevent spreading lies or false
information, we need to do a “fact
checking.”
Fact checking is a process that verifies
whether the information is based on facts
or not.
C. Discussion
Let’s have this sentence from the story.
Later, he saw a real wolf prowling about
his flock.
Based on the story that we have read, is
there really a wolf that is prowling on his
flock? Yes
That’s right, it is true according to the
story. But how did we know that it is true?
Read the line that says so. The sheep already runaway
So it really did happen. When the
statement or information is true, we call it
Fact.
Will you read what is fact? (a pupil will read the sentence)
Fact
A fact is a statement that is known or
proven to be true.
Facts can be proven through:
1. Doing research
2. Reading a book or newspaper.
3. Watching and listening to different
media platforms.
4. Asking the person involved directly.
For example:
Lupang Hinirang is the national anthem of
the Philippines.
To verify whether this information is a fact
or opinion. I will ask some questions then
raise your thumbs up if you agree,
thumbs down if not, okay?
Can we search this information on the Yes/Thumbs up
internet?
Can we see it on the news? Yes/Thumbs up
Is it written in books and newspapers? Yes/Thumbs up
Alright, then this statement is a fact.
How about this sentence from the story
The villagers thought that he was trying to
fool them again.
Do you think this sentence is also a fact? No,teacher.
No, because the word thought, it only
expresses what the villagers think. And
when a statement shows what a person
thinks or feels, it is called OPINION.
Now let’s find out what is an Opinion.
An opinion is what you think or feel.
It cannot be proven.
There are signal words that can help you
recognize a statement or information that
might be an opinion.
Will you read the following words? (a pupil will read the words)
Feel, believe, might, perhaps, think,
probably
For example:
I think pizza is the most delicious food.
Again, an opinion is a statement that
cannot be proven. So even if we search
“what is the most delicious food?” on the
internet, it will give you a lot of different
answers because some may think that
pizza is not the most delicious food. For
them, it can be roasted chicken, steak,
pasta, or curry.
What is the signal word used in the
example? think
The statement “I think pizza is the most
delicious food” contains the signal word
think.
It’s not even on the news nor in books or
newspapers, right?
So, there is no evidence that proves that
pizza is the most delicious food.
We all have our own OPINION about the
most delicious food. It means that is what
we think or feel, it is from our own
perspective.
But if we say Teacher Airel’s favorite food
is pizza, is it a fact or an opinion?
It is a fact, but first what you need to do is
verify if the information is true? You can
ask the person involved (which is me) to
know whether it is true or not.
For example, you asked me “what is my
favorite food?” So, I will answer “pizza”, it
means I already verified that the
statement is true. Therefore the
statement is a fact, because it was
already proven through verifying the
information
D. Generalization
Now that we already discussed what is
Fact and Opinion, how will you distinguish
or differentiate Fact from Opinion?
Always remember that:
A fact is a statement proven to be
true.
An opinion is a statement of belief
or judgment about something.
E. Application
BAAMBOOZLE TIME!
Instruction:
The pupils will choose a number, then
