Outdoor adventures

CAPTURE

A wise reader knows what details to look for. Can you name different ways on how to identify important
details? Share what you know about the following and how they are related to identifying and noting
important details.

1. Repetition or repeated ideas

2. Definition
3. Demonstration and examples
4. Implicit details
5. Explicit details

NAVIGATE

On Note-Taking

Ask your parent or guardian to read to you the poem below. As you listen, try to write words that you
think are important and will help you understand the poem. Then, answer the questions that follow.
 Golden Heart

Grandeur and gold, no doubt attract attention

But a healthy body and a mind at ease, I dare tell you,
sparkle longer and brighter in endless perpetuation

Simple pleasure and an unwanting nature

Even in darkest hour can find cure, I am sure,
for an unadorned heart cannot be tainted by worldly venture

Above all these that promise bliss and glory

Nothing can topple, a golden heart that bleeds for you and me,
Their hearts, I know, will embrace you and shower you with flurry.

1. What is the poem about? What words from your list will help you identify the theme of the
poem?
2. What details help create imagery in the poem? Do you have words in your list that help you
imagine these images?
3. How does the persona feel about the theme of the poem? What details or words will help you
identify the tone of the persona’s feelings towards the theme of the poem.
4. What message does the poem convey to the readers? Prove your answer by citing explicit
details (those that are found in the text) and implicit details (those that you can infer or
generalized based on the details provided in the text).

If you were able to answer the questions based on what you have written down as you were listening to
the poem, you did very well in taking down important details. Yes, you have done note-taking. Note-
taking, in its literal sense, means jotting down important details from a text heard or read. However, it
does not end with your list. You need to see how these words are connected to form an idea about the
theme of the text. Using graphic organizers can greatly help in this aspect.

Try using a graphic organizer to show the connection of the words you listed down. Then, go back to
your answers to the questions about the poem. Discuss this with your parents or guardians. Share also
your thoughts on how note-taking helps you in this activity.

On Compound Words

In addition to note-taking, you can further improve your comprehension skills by analyzing context clues
like compound words. Read the short selection below.

THE AFTERSCHOOL ESCAPADE

by Leziel Jayne Maraña
1. On a Friday afternoon, Pedro, Juana, and I ran toward our favorite food truck. Pedro bought a
cheesecake while Juana happily drank her favorite milk tea. I knew my friends like sweets a lot.
We also liked to share food.
2. I was eating spring rolls when Pedro noticed the giggles and cheers from the football field.
“Dada, my godfather is the team coach!” he exclaimed enthusiastically. So, we walked down
the pathway to the bleachers and watched.
3. Juana glanced at her smartwatch. “Oh, it’s already five o’clock. Why don’t we check out the
bookshop in 30 minutes?” I then spoke to Pedro who was so engrossed in watching a match.
“Ah, Pedro! It is almost time for you to pack up. We’ll buy a bookmark!”
4. Thinking he would be a little late, he went to his godfather and said, “Could you please tell my
grandmother that I’ll be home at 6:30?” When we arrived at the store by tricycle, we excitedly
turned the doorknob and entered the store.
 Process Questions:

1. In paragraph 1, where did Pedro and his friends go? ________________

2. What food did Pedro buy? ____________________
3. What was the drink that Juana bought? __________________
4. Based on paragraph 3, where will the characters go? ________________
5. What do you call the game being played out in the field? _____________________

Which words or evidence in the passage help you understand the meaning of the following words:
smartwatch, grandfather, bookshop, doorknob, football?

Similar to some of the words used in the selection, the words bellow are examples of compound words.
Can you tell why they are called compound words?

beeline footprint outdoor penknife lighthouse

Yes! Compound words are two or more words combined.

For example:

bee + line = beeline

There are three ways to know the meaning of a compound word. Study the diagram that follows.

context clues, synonyms, and antonyms. At this point, try to underline the compound word in the
following sentences.

a. The burglar left his footprint on the wet cement.

b. How many textbooks do you have in your bag?
c. Have you been to the newest bookstore in town?

For items d to g, highlight the word or words that provide a clue to the meaning of the underlined word.

proper authority who implement safety guidelines. (synonym, antonym, context clue)
 CHECKPOINT 1

1. What skills did you use to find the compound words?

2. How will you be able to identify compound words in a text?
3. Why do we need to look at the details presented in a learning material?

CHECKPOINT 2

1. Were you able to get the meaning of compound words based on context
clues?
2. Give the synonym and antonym of these words:
a. progress b. sunlight

TAKEAWAYS:

Reading and listening can be made easy by noting details. While you pick out points from a text, you
may encounter unfamiliar words. You can find out their meanings though the use of context clues,
synonyms, and antonyms. These words in a text help us fully understand the whole message of the
selection.

PAGTALAKAY

Tinatawag na paksa o pangunahing diwa and pokus o pinakatuon sa isang kuwento. Dito umiikot ang
mga pangyayari sa kuwento, and sinasabi at kilos ng mga tauhan pati na ang lugar, oras at petsa ng
kaganapan. Kadalasan ito ay mababasa sa simulang bahagi ng kuwento.

Lubos na nauunawaan ang paksa ng isang kuwento sa pamamagitan ng mahahalagang detalye nito. Ito
ang mga impormasyong sumasagot sa tanong na ano, sino, kalian, saan, bakit at paano tungkol sa
kuwento.
Halimbawa kung magkukuwento ka ng sarili mong karanasan sa lockdown dahil sa pandemya, ito ang
mga impormasyong dapat mong ibahagi:

Paksa

 Ang aking buhay habang naka-lockdown ay isang hindi malilimutang laban ng pag-asa at
katatagan.

Ano ang nangyari?

 Kami ay nanatili lamang sa loob ng aming bahay ng maraming araw dahil sa pandemya.

Sino ang kasama mo?

 Kasama ko sa aming tahanan ang aking mga magulang at mga kapatid

Saan ka tumira sa buong panahon ng lockdown?

 Kami ay umuwi sa probinsya at doon nanatili sa buong panahon ng lockdown.

Kailan kayo umuwi sa probinsya?

 Umuwi kami sa Romblon noong Abril, 2020.

Bakit doon kayo sa probinsya tumira?

 Naisip ng aking mga magulang na mas ligtas kami sa COVID-19 kapag nasa probinsya kami.

Paano kayo namuhay sa probinsya?

 Nagtanim kami ng mga gulay at nag-alaga ng manok para may makain habang naka-lockdown.

Tuwing magbabasa tayo ng kuwento, tiyak na may salitang pamilyar at hindi pamilyar tayong mapupuna.
Pamilyar ang salita kapag ito ay nabasa na dati at alam mo ang kahulugan at gamit nito sa pangungusap.
Hindi pamilyar ang salita kapag bago ito sa iyo, hindi mo alam ang kahulugan at hindi pa nagagamit sa
pangungusap.

Maliban sa paghahanap ng kahulugan ng salita sa talatinigan o diksiyonaryo (nakalimbag o online),

matutukoy ang kahulugan ng salitang pamilyar at di-pamilyar sa pamamagitan ng pagsusuri kung paano
ito ginagamit sa pangungusap o kontekstong pahiwatig. Ito ay salita o pariralang nasa pangungusap na
nakatutulong sa pagtukoy ng kahulugan ng mahirap na salita.

Halimbawa:

Mabilis na kumalat sa buong mundo ang COVID-19 virus kaya idineklara ng World Health Organization
(WHO) ang pandemya.

PAGTITIYAK SA NAUNAWAAN

Lagyan ng tsek ✓ ang patlang na nag lalahad ng tamang paksa o mahalagang detalye ng nabasang

Mapagmahal na Anak

nina Emilia Banlaygas at Eleanor Antonio

Si Aling Salud ay isang biyudang tindera ng isda sa pamilihan. Buong tiyaga niyang inaaruga ang dalawa
niyang anak na babae, sina Susan at Violeta. Si Susan ay isang masipag at masunuring anak. Samantala,
si Violeta naman ay tamad at masungit. Mas maganda si Violeta kaysa kay Susan. Mas matangkad at
maputi rin siya. Ngunit sa kaniyang magandang anyo, marami silang kapitbahay na naiinis sa kaniya.
Kabaligtaran naman si Susan. Marami ang natutuwa sa kaniya. Maraming tao sa bayan nila ang gusto
siyang maging kaibigan.

Isang umaga, nagising si Aling Salud na masama ang pakiramdam. Hindi siya makabangon dahil inaapoy
siya ng lagnat. Masakit ang kaniyang mga buto. Masakit din ang ulo niya. Masidhi ang kaniyang ubo at
sipon.

“Violeta, pumunta ka muna kina Kapitana Mina. Sabihin mong kapos lang tayo. Humiram ka ng
limangdaang piso para makabili ako ng gamot.”

“Naku, Inay!” sagot ni Violeta. “Nahihiya po akong mangutang. Si Susan na lang po ang utusan ninyo.”

“Pero may ginagawa si Susan.”

“Magagawa naman po niya iyon pagkatapos.”

Narinig ni Susan ang usapan ng dalawa.

“Ang Mabuti po, Inay, tatawag muna ako ng doctor, komunsulta tayo sa kaniya,” sagot ni Susan. “Lubha
pong mataas ang inyong lagnat.”

“Ano ang ibabayad natin sa doctor? Kaya nga inuutusan ko si Violeta na humiram muna ng pera kay
Kapitana Mina.”

“Akon apo ang bahala roon. May konti po akong ipon sa pagtitinda ng kakanin.”

“Talagang maaasahan kita, anak. Babayaran kita kapag nakapagtinda na ako sa palengke.”

“Huwag ninyong isipin iyon, Inay. Ang mahalaga ay masuri kayo ng doctor at gumaling,” sagot ni Susan.

Si Dr. Santos ang tinawag ni Susan.

“Aling Salud, Mabuti at ipinatawag ninyo ako. Hindi dapat ipagwalang-bahala ang sakit ninyo. Kung
tumagal-tagal pa ay lalala ang sakit ninyo at maaring magkapulmonya kayo,” sabi ni Dr. Santos. “Heto
ang reseta. Bilhin ninyo agad ang gamot na ito.”

Nang paalis na ang doctor ay inabutan ito ng pera ni Susan.

“Hayaan mon a Susan. Idagdag mon a lamang sa pambili ng gamot. Napakamahal ng gamot ngayon.
Kung makaluwag na kayo ay saka mon a ako bayaran.”

“Ang bait po ninyo, Dr. Santos. Pagpalain po kayo ng Diyos,” sabi ni Aling Salud.

Pagkainom ng gamot ni Aling Salud ay nagsimba si Susan. Buong taimtim siyang nag pasalamat sa Diyos
sa lahat ng biyayang ipinagkaloob sa kaniya. Hiniling din niya ang mabilis na paggaling ng kaniyang ina.

Kinabukasan, dinalaw ng mga kapwa tindera sa palengke si Aling Salud. May dala silang mga prutas at
tinapay. May sobre pa. Lumikom sila ng kaunting per amula sa mga tindera. Nakaipon din sila ng
dalawang libong piso.

“O, idagdag mo ito sa pambili ng gamot,” sabi ni Aling Desta. Napaluha si Aling Salud. “Salamat sa
kabutihan ninyo. Tunay kayong mga kaibigan.”

“O, huwag na tayong mag-iyakan. Magpagaling ka para makapagtinda kang muli,” sabat ni Aling Osang.

Walang paglagyan ng kaigayhahan si Susan. Wala siyang nasabi kundi, “Salamat po, Diyos ko!”

Payukong lumapit si Violeta kay Aling Salud at Susan. “Mula ngayon makatutulong na ninyo ako sa lahat
ng gawain. Ngayon ko lang napatunayang Malaki ang pagkukulang ko. Patawarin ninyo ako. Paumanhin
po Inay. Bukas, Susan, ay sasama ako sa iyo sa pagtitinda ng kakanin.”

Buong pagmamahal na nagyakapan ang tatlo.
