IV. TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCEDURES
Before/Pre-Lesson Proper
(Allow learners a few minutes to find their partner and talk an experience related to
the word they have formed).
Teacher: (After a few minutes) Hello, time is up now! Let us try to hear your
answers. What words did you come up from the paired picture? What do you call
combined words?
What activity can you relate with your words? Did you find the activity easy? Why?
(Encourage some pupils to share their idea related to the word they have formed.
Praise their efforts, teamwork and cooperation.)
Teacher: Very good! Your answers are all correct. What’s more important is you
helped one another in doing the activity and showed respect to the ideas of others. It
was so nice to listen to the experiences you shared with the activity we performed.
(Teacher shows a picture of a family going to the farm and another picture with
children playing on the beach.)
Teacher: Say something about these pictures. This is about the passage we are
going to read later. Did you experience having these activities with your family or
friends? When did you do these activities? Did you learn a lesson from these
experiences?
(Give a few minutes for the pupils to share their ideas.)
Teacher: Your prior knowledge to form new words and relate to an experience is
related to our topic for today; to infer meaning of compound words using context
clues. Take note of important details the in the story we will read. You can relate it to
your own
experiences. It’s exciting, right?
1. rice field
Can anyone tell what rice field means based on the sentence? The field was
glistening under the sun with the palay ready for harvest.
(Encourage pupils to share their ideas).
2. seashore
What word may have the same meaning with seashore?
The seashore, also known as the shoreline, was a beautiful sight with rolling waves
against the sand.
Teacher: Yes, that’s right. Shoreline has the same meaning with seashore.
3. haystack
What description of the word can help you find what the word means?
The farmer searched through the haystack; a large pile of dried grass shaped like a
cone used for feeding animals, to find the lost rake.
(Give a short time for the children to say something about the pictures then ask them
the questions).
4. pathway
What opposite word may help you know what pathway mean?
The pathway leading to the cornfields was narrow in contrast to the highway that
had three lanes just a few miles away.
Learners: The opposite word to pathway which is a narrow lane is highway having
three lanes.
5. scarecrow.
The scarecrow, a tall stick figure with straw hair and mismatched clothing stood in
the rice field, its arms outstretched as if warding off hungry birds.
Learners: A scarecrow is a stick tall figure with straw hair and mismatched clothing.
Teacher: Impressive! You did a good job in unlocking the unfamiliar words.
Teacher: Our story today is a reminder for all of us to have a break from our usual
leisure activity from texting, gaming and watching videos or movies to healthy
activities to help us find strength during difficult times.
I will first read the story to you, listen carefully and follow along in your copy of the
story. Take note of the important details for your answers to the following guide
questions for discussion later.
1. With family and friends, what activities can you do to make your mind and body
rest on weekends and during summer vacation?
2. What did you learn from the passage about taking nature trips?
3. What makes nature trip healthier and more educational?
4. Should we take time to spend short trips to the beach or nearby farms? Why?
5. What health practices should be observed during nature trips?

NATURE TRIP
Integration of Health Education Concepts
A trip to the beach and countryside offers a healthy, enjoyable, and educational
experience. Spending time in nature provides stress relief and relaxation, promoting
overall well-being.
Walking with the family along the seashore, playing ball or racing barefoot with
friends and shouting with glee under the warmth of morning sunlight brings feeling of
joy. Then you sit together to eat those nutritious food your mother has prepared; as
she has in her mind to avoid any stomach trouble for any of her family. She sees to it
that the food they bring along are nutritious, not just junk foods or street foods.
Washing hands properly and
praying before meals are practiced not only at home but also during nature trips.
These practices build a stronger bond of love and care.
Going to the beach is educational too, when you curiously observe seashells,
pebbles, and driftwoods, you learn about the natural world around you. You get to
Integration of Values and Peace Education feel the fresh sea breeze, it washes your pains and troubles away. It’s so refreshing!
Concepts
You can find a similar sense of wonder on a farm visit. Walking along the pathway to
the muddy rice field, you shout with surprise when a frog leaps on your feet, then
bees hum over your head. How you love to see the colorful rainbow and the fragile
wings of butterflies!
At break time, you sit under the shade of a coconut tree to eat the newly harvested
fruits that have been washed from the nearby well properly covered to avoid
contamination from pesticides during spray time. It’s a lesson worth learning for you,
too.
Learning how a simple scarecrow can protect the rice field from birds, listening to the
cackling hens and croaking frogs seems the music in the farm. This brings a deeper
love and respect for nature in you.
All these short experiences and encounter with nature remind us of the importance of
health, care, and safety for our environment. They also strengthen our bonds with
family and friends, fostering love, respect, and friendship.
Let's make time with nature, away from our devices, to experience these gifts. In
return, let's help to raise the awareness the importance of restoring the beauty of
nature by planting trees. Let us appreciate the animals, birds even the insects in the
farm without disturbing them. Let us help one another dispose garbage properly from
the wrappers of foods we brought along in these trips. This is one way can prevent
the spread of diseases be it at the farm or at the beach for healthy, and safe world
for all.
Teacher: Now I would like someone to volunteer read the passage aloud to the class.
After reading, we should be ready to give our answers to the questions shown to us
earlier.
(A learner volunteers to read the passage aloud to the class for the second time.)
Teacher: Thank you for reading the passage aloud to the class once more. And thank
you everyone for listening attentively and carefully noting important details which
will help us answer our guide questions.
POST-READING PROPER
Teacher: Now let’s try to see how well you understood the passage and took note of
its important details. Let’s bring back the questions shown to us earlier and let’s
answer them one by one. May I remind you to state your answers in complete
sentences.
2. What did you learn from the passage about taking nature trips?
Learner: Nature trip is not only an enjoyable activity but it can be educational too.
Integration of Health Education Concepts
3. What makes nature trip healthier and more educational?
Learner: Walking, playing, exercising under the sun, eating fresh harvests, feeling
happy prevents us from getting sick. We learn more about real colors, shapes,
sounds of birds, insects and animals in the farm and feel the textures of things in our
environment from these nature trips.
Teacher: That’s great! Indeed, you have learned something valuable from reading
the story. We become more aware on the value of our health and should find ways to
prevent from becoming sick, from contamination of food and water, we also
appreciate
more our natural resources, am I right?
4. Should we take time to spend time to take short trips to the beach or nearby
farms? Why?
Learners: Yes, it’s great to take time to take nature trip with our family and friends.
It builds in us a stronger tie with our family, and friendship and above all appreciates
God given gifts with pride, love and respect.
Learners’ Responses:
• Bring along nutritious foods.
• Wash hands before eating.
• Refrain buying street foods.
• Bring water bottles for safer water supply.
• Dispose garbage in trash bin or compost pit.
• Bring home cooked food placed in well covered containers.
• Wear light clothing for body comfort.
• Bring along disinfectants and insects for possible insect bites.
6. How can we help build a healthier and more peaceful world to live in?
Learners’ Responses:
We can build a more peaceful world if we build strong family ties like; we show
respect to our parents and friends, we consider their feelings, we learn to
respect and follow rules set in particular public places.
To our community we can help in the proper disposal and segregation of
garbage, so that spread of diseases will be prevented.
Let us also remember to refrain from giving harm to animals, and even insects
because they are helpful in someways during pollination of plants.
(Encourage learners to state how they can show respect for life, how they can
prevent and control diseases using compound words from the passage.
Example:
• I will play under the morning sunlight so I’ll have strong bones and immune
system.
• I will leave butterflies, frogs and insects undisturbed in their natural habitats.
Teacher: Amazing! From your shared ideas, we will indeed be able to live in a
peaceful, safe and healthy place.
Here is a strategy we can use to infer or guess these unfamiliar compound words by
using the strategy context clues where there will be no need to open a dictionary.
Teacher: Earlier in our lesson I asked you to find for unfamiliar compound words in
the story. Recall how you were able to infer or give the meaning of the new word. You
related it to an experience you’ve had so you can give its meaning. Did you find the
activity interesting?
We say compound words or compounds are words formed by putting two or more
words together to form a new word with a new meaning. To understand the meaning
of the compound, it is important to determine the meaning of each word.
Example:
story + book =
storybook
a passage or written or printed compilation of printed
a narration of literary composition narration of events
events bound together between bound together with
front and back cover a front and back cover
Teacher: This time I will group you into three groups. You are going to fill in the
chart based on the sentences below the needed information. This activity is good for
5 minutes only. Before we begin with the activity, let us agree first on the rubrics for
the point system.
Group 1: Find the compound word in the sentence. Find the meaning of the
compound
word. Tell the context clue type in the sentence.
Group 2: Make a short dialogue about a nature trip using compound words showing
health practices, respect and love for life. (human and natural
environment)
B. Fill in the blanks the correct compound word that will complete the sentence.
Choose your answers from the box below.
Teacher: Very good! I’m so proud that you have develop that sense of appreciation
of commitment to help mother nature return its beauty. Thank you very much
everyone for your amazing answers.
Teacher: Excellent! Why is learning to apply context clues important for you?
Learner: Context clues are important for me because they can help me infer the
meaning of a word without having to look it up in a dictionary.
Teacher: Very well said! Can we use the skill of inferring the meaning of compound
words using context clues to maintain peace in a particular place. In the first place,
what are compound words and what are the three ways of forming them?
Learner: We can form compound words by forming them as closed, open and
hyphenated compound words.
Example: This is a Smoke-Free area.
Teacher: From this particular example, you will become aware what the poster
means. How will you show respect for nature and respect for life from the poster
shown?
Learner: The poster means that in this particular place nobody is allowed to smoke
to create a healthy place for everyone. If everybody respects and follow this rule
there will be peace and understanding in the community, that is the people and the
government
authorities help together in building a healthy and safe environment.
Teacher: It is important that you know context clues strategy skill because it helps
you understand the meaning of unfamiliar words without the need to look them up in
the dictionary all the time. Keep practicing this skill whenever you read, and it will
become
easier for you over time. Keep up the great work, and remember to apply these
concepts in your own reading and writing as well.
