duck.

C. New Lesson

1. Motivation
Now class, I have here some riddles. Do you
know what riddles are? Yes, we do!

A riddle is a question or problem that baffles

or perplexes someone. It makes us wonder
what the answer is.

I am going to read the riddles and you are

going to guess the answer. Are you ready? Yes, we are!

Here is the first riddle.

I am a band that you wear on your finger
and a sound that your phones does when A ring, teacher!
someone is calling. What am I?

Very good! How about this one.

I am a small animal with a pointed nose
and a long tail, and I am also connected
A mouse, teacher!
to your computer. What am I?

Excellent! Let’s answer the next riddle.

I have a sharp point on one end and a
flattened head on the other, but I am also
on your fingers. What am I? Nail!

Brilliant! Now, here is the last riddle.

I cover the outside part of a tree trunk,
and I am a loud noise that your dog
makes. What am I? Bark, teacher!

Well done! You are so good at solving

riddles. We will check later during the
discussion if your answers are correct.

What was your answer to the last riddle? Bark!

Dogs bark really loud. Do you have pets at

home? Yes, we do!

What are your pets? Dogs

How about other pets like cats? We also have cats!

That’s great! This time, I will read a short

story titled Lisa’s Cats.

Are you ready to listen? Yes, we are!

A. Reading of Springboard
Lisa’s Cats

Lisa had a blue cat who blew inside her hat. Lisa had eight other cats who ate lots of
rats. The cats made a big mess one day. And then the maid began to say, “You have
too many cats! Two on your head and seven under your bed”. Now, Lisa knows all this.
So she tapped her nose and said, “Hey Miss! My dear maid, everything you say is true!
So I’ll trade my nine cats for nine deer, that’s what I’ll do”.
B. Asking of Comprehension Question

What was the story all about? It was about Lisa’s Cats, teacher!

What did Lisa have? Lisa had a blue cat.

Correct! What does the blue cat do inside
The cat blew inside her hat.
her hat?

Very good! How many other cats did Lisa

have and what do they often eat? Lisa had eight other cats who often ate
lots of rats.
Well done! Now, kindly read these words.
Blue, blew Blue, blew
Eight, ate Eight, ate
Made, maid Made, maid
Too, two Too, two
Knows, nose Knows, nose
Dear, deer Dear, deer

What have you noticed on these words?

They sound alike, teacher!

That’s right! Do you have any idea what No idea, teacher!

these words are called?
Okay, that’s fine. These words are called
Homonyms.
2. Presentation

Homonyms are words that sound alike but

have different meanings.

Homonyms are broken into two categories:

homophones and homographs.

Today, we are going to talk about the two

categories which are the homophones and
homographs.

Are you ready for our new lesson? Yes, we are!

3. Discussion

Now that you already know the definition of

Homonyms and its categories. Let us now
know what homophones and homographs
are.

Homophones are words that sound the

same when you pronounce them, but
have different meaning and spelling.

Example:

Let us go back to the story that we read

earlier. Kindly read the first sentence. Lisa had a blue cat who blew inside
her hat.

What are the homophones in the sentence? The homophones are blue and blew.
Why do you think they are homophones? Because blue and blew sounds the same
when pronounced.
Very good! It is also because they have
different meaning and spelling.

Blue is a color, while blew is the past tense

of blow.

Kindly read the second sentence. Lisa had eight other cats who often
ate lots of rats.

What are the homophones in the sentence? The homophones are, eight and ate.

What makes them a homophone? They sound the same.

Brilliant! They also have different meaning

and spelling.

Eight is a number, while ate is the past tense

of eat.

Let us read together the third and fourth

sentence. The cats made a big mess one day.
And then the maid began to say, “You
have too many cats! Two on your
head and seven under your bed”.
What are the homophones found in the
sentence? Made and maid, teacher!

Very good!

Made is the past tense of make and it means

doing something, while a maid is a female
domestic worker.

Too and two.

What other homophones can you see?
Great job!

Too means excessive and two is a number.

Now, Lisa knows all this. So she

Kindly read the remaining sentences. tapped her nose and said, “Hey Miss!
My dear maid, everything you say is
true! So I’ll trade my nine cats for
nine deer, that’s what I’ll do”.

The homophones are, knows and nose.

What are the homophones?

Very good! Knows means being aware of

something, while nose is a part of our face
and what we use to breathe.

Dear and deer.

What else are the homophones?

Very good! Dear is used to address

someone we cherish, while deer is an
animal.

Well done! Again, what are homophones? A homophone is a word that has the
same pronunciation as that of another
word but has different meaning and
spelling.
Good job! Now let us lean about
homographs.

Homographs are words that are spelled

and sound the same, but have different
meanings.
Example:

I am a band that you wear on your

solved earlier. Kindly read the first riddle. does when someone is calling. What
am I?

It’s a ring, teacher!

What was your answer for this riddle?

That is correct! Ring is a band that we wear

on our finger and ring is also the sound that
our phone does when someone is calling. I am a small animal with a pointed
nose and a long tail, and I am also
Now, please read the next riddle. connected to your computer. What am
I?

It’s a mouse!
What was your answer for this riddle?

Bravo! Your answer is correct.

A mouse is a small animal with a pointed

nose and a long tail. And it can also refer to
a device that is connected to a computer.

Mouse is an example of homograph. They

have the same spelling and sound but can
have different meanings. I have a sharp point on one end and a
flattened head on the other, but I am

A nail!
What was your answer for this riddle?

Very good! A nail can be an object with a

sharp point and a flattened head. It can also
refer to the nail on our fingers.

The word nail is a homograph because it has

the same meaning and sound but it can
mean two different things.
Bark!
Kindly read the last riddle.

What was your answer for this riddle?

Excellent! A bark can be a cover for the

outside part of a tree. It can also mean a
loud noise that a dog makes.

The word bark is a homograph because it is

spelled and pronounced the same but has
Words that are spelled and sound the

same but has different meanings.
Again, what are homographs?
None so far.

Do you have any questions?

4. Generalization
Now class, I have some questions for you.
What was our topic for today? Homonyms, teacher.

What are the two categories of homonyms? Homophones and homographs.

When can we say that a word is a
homophone?
When the words sound the same but
have different spelling and meaning.
Can anyone give an example of
homophones? (students give own answer)

Very good! Can anyone define homograph? Homographs are words that are spelled
and sound the same, but have different
meanings.
Give an example of homograph.
(students give own answer)
Well done! I am glad that everyone listened
and understood our lesson.
5. Valuing
Class, I have a question. Some of you have
pets at home, right? Yes, we have.
How do you take good care of your pets? (students share how they take care of
their pets)
Will you trade your pets because they are
messy just like what Lisa did in the short
story? No!

That’s nice! Why do you think we should

take care of our pets?
Because animals deserve a good life.
Very good! Taking care of pets is really
important because they are like our special
friends. They keep us company and make us
feel happy and loved. When we play with
them or take them for walks, it’s not just fun,
it also helps us stay healthy!
6. Application
This time we will have a group activity. The
title of our activity is “Flip the homonym”. You
will be grouped into five and I will put flipped
cards on the board. Words with the same
sounds or homonyms are written on each
flipped card. Each member of the five groups
will take turns on flipping two cards. If the
words match as homophones or
homographs, the member can keep the card
as points for their group.

For example:
The first card flipped shows the word “pair”.
The second card flipped shows the word
“pear”

If the words do not match, the member will

flip it back and other groups can flip two
cards again.

I will give you 5 minutes to do the activity.

7. Evaluation
This time, I will give you an individual
activity.

Directions: Encircle the homophones and

write two homographs including their
different definitions.

1. The runner was so hungry, he ate eight 1. ate,eight

sandwiches. 2. bored,board
