EN4LR-1-1 Comprehend literary texts Learning Objectives: Give the distinguishing features of a narrative text Identify the setting, characters and plot Relate one’s experiences to the text Review: Review the two types of texts: narrative and informational. Then present and read the following paragraphs. Have them identify which is a narrative text and an informational text. A. “Here” shouted Jill, “Catch the ball.” She threw the ball to Tim. “Now, throw it back.” she said. “I like to play ball. I have something to tell you. I am going to be on the school team.” B. The housefly carries many germs. Some of the germs are on the hairs of its legs. Some are on the housefly’s feet. Most flies carry far more than a million germs. One fly was known to carry over six million germs. Ask the learners about a story they have read and what makes it interesting. Have some sharing of their favorite part of the story. Stories have a structure or framework called story grammar, which includes different elements that make up a narrative. Write "Story Grammar" on the board. Explain that you will be exploring the different elements of story grammar together. Unlock the following words using context clues, picture clues or through actions/ realia: nestled, symphony, venture, mystical, enchanting, damp, perched, echoed, vibrant, mesmerized, soothing, fluttering, stumbled. Example: 1. He nestled his head against his mother’s shoulder. 2. symphony (use a picture or give a synonym) damp (get water and some of it on your hair to illustrate the meaning) Reading of the Text: Read the story aloud while learners listen. Maya’s Adventure In a small barrio nestled among rice fields and coconut trees, there lived a young girl named Maya. Maya loved spending her days exploring the lush countryside and listening to the symphony of sounds that filled the air. One sunny morning, Maya decided to venture into the nearby forest, known for its mystical creatures and enchanting beauty. As she stepped onto the forest path, her feet made a soft "squish-squish" sound on the damp earth. As Maya walked deeper into the forest, she heard the melodious "tweet- tweet" of birds perched on the branches above. Their songs echoed through the trees, filling the air with a sweet melody. Maya couldn't help but smile as she listened to their harmonious chorus.  Suddenly, she heard a loud "buzzzzz" coming from a nearby tree. Maya's eyes widened with excitement as she spotted a group of colorful butterflies fluttering their wings. Their vibrant colors and delicate movements a her, and she couldn't resist reaching out to touch one. But as she did, she heard a soft "flutter-flutter" as the butterfly gracefully flew away. Continuing her journey, Maya came across a small stream, its waters gently flowing with a soothing "babble-babble" sound. She knelt down and cupped her hands, scooping up some water to quench her thirst. The cool liquid trickled down her throat, making a refreshing "gulp-gulp" sound.  As Maya continued her exploration, she stumbled upon a group of children playing a traditional Filipino game called "patintero." The children's feet made a lively "tap- tap" sound as they hopped and dodged, trying to cross each other's paths. Maya joined in the fun, her own feet adding to the rhythmic beat. As the day wore on, the sun began to set, casting a warm orange glow over the landscape. Maya heard the distant "bark-bark" of dogs as they announced the arrival of evening. It was a familiar sound that signaled the end of her adventure. Comprehension Questions: Who loves to go for an adventure? Where does she live? Where did she go one sunny morning? What were Maya’s experiences in the forest? Are you like Maya? What adventures did you experience? DAY 1- GROUP TASKS/ACTIVITY DIRECTIONS: Read the paragraph before doing your group task. Teaching Modelling There are two types of texts: narrative and informational. A narrative text is a type of text that tells a story or recounts a series of events. It typically includes elements such as characters, setting, and plot. Narrative texts can be found in various forms. The purpose of a narrative text is to entertain, engage, or inform the reader by presenting a sequence of events in a logical and coherent manner. A story grammar is a way to understand and analyze the structure of a story. It helps us identify the important elements and how they fit together to create a complete narrative. The elements of a story grammar are setting, character, and plot. The setting talks about the place and the time that the events in the story happened. The characters are the people or animals in the story. The plot is made up of the events that happened in the story. It consists of the beginning, the middle, and the ending. Beginning- It gives the problem faced by the main character. Middle – It presents the actions made by the characters to solve the problem. Ending- it gives the solution to the problem  Group Activity: Divide the class into three groups for them to do their group tasks. Group 1 Answer the following questions based from the story. What is the setting of the story? Underline the part where the setting is mentioned. Who are the characters in the story? Describe each of the characters. Encircle the parts in the story that helped you describe the character. Group. 2- Fill out the graphic organizer and write the plot of the story below. Group 3- Complete the graphic organizer. What is a narrative text?

Pause between paragraphs and ask Maya’s adventure to direct the learners on the sequence of events or plot of the story. Write their answers on the sequence ladder. Example: 1. Maya decided to go for an adventure into the forest. 2. She heard the birds on the branches of the trees. 3. She spotted a group of colorful butterflies. 4. She came across a small stream. 5. She stumbled upon a group of children playing “Patintero” 6. She heard the barking dogs before the evening arrives. * Tell the learners that what you did together is called sequencing or identifying the components of the plot of the story. It is a strategy that will help them better understand a narrative text. Ask: What sounds did Maya hear as she went for an adventure in the forest? Write the learners’ answers on the board. soft "squish-squish" sound on the damp earth "tweet-tweet" of birds  loud "buzzzzz" coming from a nearby tree soothing "babble-babble" sound of the water "gulp-gulp" sound from her throat "tap-tap" sound from children’s feet "woof-woof" of dogs The highlighted words are called onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is a fun and interesting literary device that helps make writing more engaging and descriptive. It is a word that imitates or suggests the sound it is describing. For example, words like "buzz," "crash," "sizzle," and "meow" are all examples of onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia can be found in all kinds of writing, including stories, poems, comics, and even in everyday conversations. It brings words to life by creating a connection between the sound and the meaning. Examples: "buzz," "crash," Group Activity: Divide the class into three groups for them to do their group tasks. Instructions: Read each sentence. Copy on your paper and underline the onomatopoeia used. Tasks/Questions: Example: The bird went chirp, chirp, chirp. Answer: The bird went chirp, chirp, chirp. 1. The duck went quack in the lake. 2. I saw the cow mooo at the owner. 3. The sheep went baaaa, baaaa in the meadow. 4. The dog went ruff, ruff at the intruder. 5. The snake hiss when it encountered its prey. 6. It was a stormy day, I’m so afraid because the thunder rumbled. 7. There was a crackling sound from the burning leaves. 8. Water is gushing everywhere because the roads are flooded. 9. There’s an owl in that tree which hoots every night. 10. I am disturbed with the squeaking of the rat which runs around the room. What do we do when we arrange the events in a plot of a story? How can this strategy help us? What is onomatopoeia? Give examples. A. Read the story and number the events (1-6) as they happened in the story. It was Janet’s birthday. She woke up early. She dressed up and went to church. When she arrived home, she helped Mother set the table. She put plates, spoons and cups on the table. She got a flower vase and put the flowers in it. She put the cake on the table, too. She put the chairs around the table. Soon her visitors arrived. Number the events (1-6) as they happened in the story. ____ She got a flower vase and put the flowers in it. ____ She helped her Mother set the table. ____ She woke up early and went to church. ____ She put the chairs around the table. ____She put the plates, spoons, and cups on the table. ____ Her visitors arrived soon. ____She put the cake on the table, too.

To summarize a story, you need to include the story elements- setting, character, plot (beginning, middle and ending) Read the story and accomplish the activity. What do we do when we summarize? Evaluation: Read the story and make a summary. Playground Molly and her friend Bella were playing at the playground. They were supposed to be taking turns on the swing. Molly counted to 100 while Bella was on the swing. Bella didn’t get off the swing. “Bella! I counted to 100, it’s my turn!” said Molly. “You counted too fast, it’s still my turn,” Bella said. Molly was upset. She wanted a turn on the swing, too! What could she do? Molly could tell the teacher, but her teacher always wanted them to try to solve the problem first. What could she try? She decided to try using an “I message”. That means to tell the other person how you’re feeling, why you feel that way, and what they can please do to make it better. “Bella, I feel sad because we were supposed to take turns after 100 seconds. Will you please get off?” Molly asked. Finally, Bella got off the swing. Molly was happy because she solved her problem all by herself!
