I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson the students are able to:
a. define cohesive devices;

b. classify the functions of opposing transitions and sequential transitions; and
c. write a situation using sequential transition words.
II. SUBJECT MATTER
a. Topic: Using Cohesive Devices in Composing Various Types of Speech

b. Reference: Self-Learning Module
c. Materials: Laptop, Television, Printed Materials, PowerPoint Presentation
III. PROCEDURES
A. PREPARATORY ACTIVITIES
1.Daily Routine
a. Prayer
b. Greetings
c. Checking of Environment
d. Checking of Attendance
2. Review of the Past Lesson
The teacher will ask the students about the following:
1. What is cohesion?
2. Define additive transitions.
3. Give an example of additive transitions.
3. Motivation
GAME TITLE: PASS THE MESSAGE
The students will be divided into two, the group of girls and group of boys. The teacher will ask
for ten representatives for each group including their leader. The representatives of each group will be
the one who will play the game for their group. The teacher will give a phrase/sentence to one member
and that member of their group will pass it to the others until it reached their group leader, and the group
leader will be the one to write the message to the board. The group that got the correct answer will have
an additional two points to the next activity.
B. LESSON DEVELOPMENT
The teacher will discuss the following:
a. Definition of cohesive devices.
b. Definition of opposing transitions and sequential transitions.
c. Discuss the second category of cohesive devices; Opposing Transitions (Causal Transitions:
To signal Contrast, To indicate Emphasis, and To signal Removal/Dismissal) (To signify
Cause/Reason, To show Effect/Result, To signal Purpose, and To indicate Consequence)
d. Discuss the third category of cohesive devices; Sequential Transitions (To order
Sequence/Order, To indicate Time, and To Summarize)
Definition of Cohesive Devices
Cohesive devices commonly known as Transitional words are words or phrases that
show the relationship between paragraphs or sections of a text or speech.
Transitions are used by the author to help the reader progress from one significant idea to
the next. Also, transitions also show the relationship within a paragraph (or within a
sentence) between the main ideas and the support the author gives for those idea
Opposing Transition
Opposition transition words point out changes or other possibilities in the line of thought.
Causal Transitions: But, by way of contrast, while, on the other
1. To signal Contrast hand, however, (and) yet, whereas, though
(final position), in contrast, when in fact,
conversely, still, in spite, ironically, strangely
enough
2. To indicate Emphasis even more, above all, indeed, more
importantly, besides
3. To signal Removal/Dismissal either way, whichever happens, in either
event, in any case, at any rate, in either case,
whatever happens, all the same in any event,
These transitions signal cause/effect and reason/result:

1. To signify or the (simple) reason that, being that, for, in
Cause/Reason view of (the fact), in as much as, because (of
the fact), seeing that, as, owing to (the fact),
due to (the fact that), in that since, forasmuch
as,
2. To show as a result (of this), consequently, hence, for
Effect/Result this reason, thus, because (of this), in
consequence, so that, accordingly, as a
consequence, so much (so) that, so, therefore,
3. To signal for the purpose of, in the hope that, for fear
Purpose that, so that, with this intention, to the end
that, in order to, lest with this in mind, in
order that, so as to, so
4. To indicate under those circumstances, then, in that case,
Consequence if not, that being the case, if so, otherwise
Sequential Transitions
Sequential transition words indicate a sequence, whether it's the order in which events
occurred chronologically or the order you're presenting them in your text.
These transitions are used to signal a chronological or logical sequence:

5. To order in the (first, second, etc.) place, initially, to
Sequence/Order start with, first of all, thirdly, as soon as,
hence, in the end, to begin with, at first, for a
start, secondly, gradually
6. To indicate Next, Finally, afterwards, later, lastly, now,
Time then, subsequently, meanwhile, in the
meantime, on the following day
7. To as was previously stated, so, consequently, in
Summarize summary, all in all, thus, as I have said, to
sum up, overall, as has been mentioned, then,
to summarize, to be brief, briefly, given these
points in all, on the whole, therefore, as has
been noted, in conclusion, in a word, to put it
briefly, in sum, altogether, in short,
C. GENERALIZATION
The teacher will ask the following questions:
1. Define cohesive devices.

2. What is opposing transition?
3. What is sequential transition?
4. State an example of opposing transitions that is being discussed and use it in a sentence.
5. State an example of sequential transition and use it in a sentence.
D. APPLICATION
The teacher will distribute printed copies of different song verses to the students, and the
students will identify the various cohesive devices found in the lyrics of the songs. Each student will be
given the chance to answer and write their response on the board. Each correct answer is equivalent
to two points, which will be added to the next activity.
IV. EVALUATION
Direction: Write a “SITUATION” using the following sequential transitions words:
1. To start with
2. Meanwhile
3. On the following day
4. In short
5. Finally
FOR EXAMPLE
SITUATION: To start with, I haven’t enough money to buy unnecessary things. Meanwhile, my
brother always buys things he doesn’t really need. On the following day, I saw him together with his
friends buying unnecessary things again. In short, he doesn’t care even if he doesn’t need those things,
that’s why I confronted him and told him to stop buying things just because he wants to because those
things wouldn’t even benefit him. Finally, he listened to me.
V. ASSIGNMENT
Directions: Read and study about the elements of a story.
