The document provides a detailed lesson plan for teaching English to first year secondary students about the four types of sentences: declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory. The plan outlines objectives, materials, procedures, activities, and evaluation. It includes examples of each sentence type from a song about loving children.

Motivation
Warm Up
Let us sing The Greatest Love of All.
(Students sing)

“How could you say so, Carl?” “Because Sir I noticed that the song
has a lot to do with our love for
children or mother to her daughter,
father to his son. It has something to
do with our love for our family, that’s
the greatest love of all. The writer
believes in what Dr. Jose Rizal said,
“The youth is the hope of the
Fatherland.”
“That was a very good explanation, Carl. You
know what class, the song simply tells us that we
should always consider for us to keep our family
or relationship with others intact, sometimes
showing affection or love towards a person, makes
him feel that he is appreciated and there will be
feeling of belongingness and love especially to
young ones. And also as what have Carl said, the
writer believes that you, the younger generations,
are the hope of our Fatherland. So, class, I want
you to finish your study to accomplish the
challenge that have given by our national hero.”
“Everybody had just sung very well. Give
yourselves a big hand.
