 IV. PROCEDURES

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Routinary Activities:
 Greetings
Good morning, everyone! How are you? We feel good today ma’am.
 Checking of Attendance
Nicole, kindly check the attendance and note who is absent
today
Okay, ma’am.

B. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson

"Can someone recall what the lesson was in the last meeting?
Yes, Lianne? We talk about the story of Thai cats and compare
Thailand's culture to Philippine culture.

You are correct. How about you, Andrew?

Through the story, My Thai Cat, we learned different
transitional devices in comparing and contrasting two
things.
Very good, Kian. Can someone at least give us some transitional
devices in combining two sentences, Kenjie?
In comparing, we have, also, likewise, and similarly
Great. You can still recall it. while in contrasting we have but, yet, though.
Right now, I know everyone is excited to learn a new lesson but
let’s have some games first since we miss each other. This game
is called… “Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?”. John, kindly read Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down
the instruction, please.
1. Certain scenarios will be flash on the screen.
2. If you like the scenario, use the thumbs up
emoji and if not use the thumbs down.
3. At the count of three, send your chosen emoji
through the chat box.
Well read, John. Maybe some of you are familiar with this since
Facebook and Instagram have this kind of status. All you need to
do is to decide. If you agree, use thumbs up and down if not. Is it
clear?

Let’s have an example kindly read, Prencess.

Yes, ma’am!
Thank you, Prencess. Thus, everyone if you like this scenario Reading books.
give thumbs up, if not thumbs down. 1, 2, 3 go!

Great! Most of your answers are thumbs up. It seems like

everything is clear so let’s officially start the game.

 So, if you’re already, when I say “Ready, folks? Ready, folks?”
You will say “Aha! Aha”
Aha! Aha!
Again, Ready, folks? Ready, folks?
Aha! Aha!
Ready, folks? Ready, folks?

Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down Scenario

1. Watching k-dramas
2. Sleeping while Wi-Fi is turned on
3. Playing Mobile Legends
4. Eating spicy food
5. Creating Tiktok videos
6. Listening to opm songs

Great job, class! Before we proceed I, have one question, what do I noticed that we can always have the choice to choose
you think is the connection of our game to the lesson for today, if we like certain scenarios or not.
Jherica?
Based on the sample scenarios, someone is positive in
Wow! That’s a nice observation, Jherica! How about you Amber? doing specific scenarios and for some it is negative.
So, I think it has connections between positive and
negative statements.
Very detailed observation, Amber! Thank you! And you’re both
correct.

B. Establishing Purpose of the lesson

Therefore, class, our lesson for today is about

“Recognizing Positive and Negative Messages
Conveyed in a Text ''.

C. Presenting examples/instances of the lesson

Now, what are the positive and negative messages? In order for Since the child is scared, for me, it is negative.
us to know I will show you a picture. Is the scenario positive or
negative, Kenjie?

Correct! How about the next one, Lianne? Friends are having fun. I think it’s positive.

Lianne, you are right. Lastly, yes, Nicole? Based on the warning sign of the medicine it is
negative.

Awesome! You did great!

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills

Definitely, messages can either be heard or read. We can easily

differentiate a positive from a negative message upon hearing the
tone, the speaker’s attitude in saying the message just like your

parents nagging at you. and the mood like the feeling inflicted to
the listener of the speaker. Expressions, signs, and symbols also
help.

But how about through text? If you were to identify whether a

message in a text is positively or negatively intended, how would
you do it? Would you just rely on the words that are used in the
sentences, or depend on the intention conveyed? Let’s have a
short analysis task or pre-test, kindly read the instruction. Read the sentences below, and identify whether the
sentences carry a positive or negative meaning. Write
your answer on a sheet of paper.

1. That is a very generous offer, Son.

2. We have never had a good time with friends since

the pandemic.

3. Your dog is now six feet under.

4. Aside from your face, what other jokes do you

have?

5. I will try to be nicer if you try to be smarter.

To save time, all you need to do is to take a piece of paper and

pen and for 3 minutes you have to write down answers only and I
will call someone later on. Don’t worry, we’re just trying to see if
we can detect a positive and negative sentence. Get ready, timer
starts now.

Positive.
Time’s up! Let’s now answer it for number one. May I know your
answer, Monica?

Yes, the word is very generous.

How did you come up with your answer? Did any signal word(s)
help you identify whether the message is positively or negatively
conveyed?
Negative. I think the signal word is never used.
Great job, Monica! So, the answer for number 1 is positive. How
about on number 2, Khen? And what is the signal word that helps
you identify it?

The signal word is your dog is now six feet under

Wow, thank you, Khen. That’s right, the answer for number 2 is that’s why it’s negative.
negative. Next, let’s see Andrew’s answer on number 3?

Dead.
So, what does six feet under mean, Andrew

The right answer is negative. You are correct Andrew and nice
that you know the meaning of that phrase.

Moving to number 4, Patrick, can you tell us your answer?

about it. Lastly, Sirein, what would be the number 5 answer?

That’s good. You are correct it’s negative. Negative also, ma’am since he/she will only try.

Good job, everyone. It seems like you already have a background

about positive and negative messages. For more information,
Sofia, kindly read the slide.

Positive Message vs. Negative Messages

Awesome, thank you! By the word itself positive for good news
and negative for bad. But how can we recognize the message that Positive messages are a type of communication that
they wanted to convey? Nicole, kindly read. provides good news, acceptance, or congratulations
while negative messages are a type of communication
that conveys negative or unpleasant information.

Thank you, Nicole., Generally, language is divided into two

categories, literal and figurative. Literal is the exact meaning
while Figurative is not directly stated, the meaning just like the The positivity or negativity of a message in a text can
example earlier dead is the literal meaning of the figurative word be recognized either through explicit markers or
six feet under. Since we always use on our daily lives the literal implicit meanings. When the words or phrases mean
language, we will focus more on that. exactly what they are supposed to mean, we call them
LITERAL. On the other hand, when the message is
implicitly expressed and departs from the dictionary
meaning, we call the language used FIGURATIVE
Again, positive, and negative messages in a text can be identified
through explicit markers or signal words/phrases/expressions. I
prepared here a table about the commonly used signal
words/phrases/expressions.

First, grateful, we use it when we are expressing gratitude to

someone for how thankful we are. Gina Mae, kindly read the
example.

We are grateful to the front liners who risk their lives

Thank you, Gina Mae, the sentence shows gratitude to the front in these very trying times.
liner. Another term we can use is appreciate and thanks!

Next please read, Jram.

Excellent, you can read well, Jram. My response to Jram is also

an example of expressing motivational/ encouraging/ constructive
Wow! You can draw well.
remarks just like wow, admire, brilliant, amaze, splendid
excellent awesome Good! Great!

What about when giving congratulatory remarks? Yes, Alden.

Well done, Alden. Thank you aside from that we can also use
Congratulations!
You made it to the finals. Well-done!

Definitely, there are lots of signal words we can use and here they
are.

Moving forward, we have a signal word for negative also. When

expressing negation and negative expressions we can use no one,
no way, nobody, nowhere. Kindly read the example, Mitch.

Thank you, Mitch. Aside from that we can also use prefixes like:
un- in unfriend
im- in impossible None of you has ever realized my worth.
in- in incorrect

Please, read, Kian.

The word highlighted was unfriended

She unfriended him on FB.
Next, Andrew, when expressing disappointment, we use disgust,
offend, dismay, shock. Kindly read the example, Andrew.

Thank you! The word used is disgusted. Patrick’s mom was disgusted by his very bad grades.

Lastly, we have the word only that is used when limiting.

Those are the commonly signal words that you can use to
determine if the text conveys a positive or negative message. Do There is only one left for me
you have questions?

Therefore, let’s take a look at this formula. If mathematics has a None so far, ma’am.
formula, so does it in English. For simple sentences, we can use
multiplication to recognize the positivity of the message
conveyed. In number 1, Kenjie, can you read the sentence and tell
us the two signal words that will match the first formula positive
plus positive equals to positive.

Wow! You are definitely correct. Using two positive signal words
will make it a positive message. How about the second, Nicole?
My parents were happy to see my high grades.

I think happy and high grades are both signal words

That’s right! You got the formula. And next one, Dale? that will make the message positive.

He loves to see you getting in trouble.

Right pattern, Dale. Lastly, Kian, what is the answer? The words are love and getting in trouble. It is
positive and negative, thus, the answer is negative.

Never again will I ever talk to you nicely.

Never is negative and nicely is positive, thus, it

Well said, Kian. Therefore, those are the easy formulas that you conveys a negative message

connectors introduce a subordinate clause that makes a
sentence a complex sentence
In order to recognize positivity or negativity of the conveyed
message in a complex sentence, we can use conjunctions as
mathematical addition operations. Kindly read, Lianne.

Thank you! In that sentence likewise will be the plus sign and the
first part of sentence Water is the most essential element of the
human body, is positive then after the connector likewise, another
positive statement, which is it is the most important components

plants.

John, can you tell us the word connectors in the sentence? I think
there’s two.

And based on the formula, what would be the message conveyed

in the sentence? Is it positive or negative?
Not only is the livelihood of many affected by COVID-
19, but the general health of everyone is also
threatened.
Well explained, thank you! How about the third formula, Jherica?

But and also.
