2. Modeling/ Teaching 
Ask: 
What do you notice with the first two sentences? 
Does it tell something that the truth? Is itis already proven and accepted by everyone? 
What do you notice with the third, fourth and fifth sentences?
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
Does it show judgment, feeling or attitude about someone or something? 
What word/s in the sentence gives a clue that it is a thought or judgment? 
Say: A sentence states a fact if it can truly happen and it can be proven. 
A sentence states an opinion if it can happen only in the mind of a 
person and it cannot be proven to be true. The words “I think, I believe, in my opinion, 
etc. signals an opinion statement. 
Guide the pupils to make this generalization at the end of Modeling/ Teaching and before the 
Guided Practice. Give more examples of fact and opinion statements.)

Say: Let us be energized by playing the HAND-MIND WORD game. Say R U L E S. All R, U, 
L ,E , S will form the groups. 
(Note: Each group will be given five (5) sets of jumbled letters inside the envelope. The sets of 
letters are numbered from one to seven. If you hear the word THINK, listen for the clues 
about the word. If you hear the word GO -start arranging the letters and if you hear the word 
STOP- say the word.) 
Ask the class to get the first envelop. Tell them to get the letters inside the envelop. Say: The 
word starts with a “g” and ends with a “d”. This is the hint. Look at me. (Grab something in 
the table.) What did I do? Form the word GO. Give the group at least one minute to form the 
word, then say STOP. Ask the group one after the other to say the word that they formed. Go 
around to check their output. Put the first word in the web. 
Follow the procedure. Here are the suggested clues: 
Screamed – demonstration 
Pounded – demonstration 
Poked – demonstration 
Dumped - demonstration 
Words inside the envelope are grabbed, screamed, pounded, poked, dumped )These words 
should be written around the word Monster.)Model the unlocking through actions so children 
could have a hint.

GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
Imagine a school with a monster, what do you think will happen? 
(Let pupils their share ideas about the given question. 
As partners share ideas about the question: Imagine a school with a monster. What do you think 
will happen? , pPost and use Detective Sinegata Chart for the pupils’ responses. Let pupils’ 
ideas freely flow.) 
3. Motive Question 
What do you think will Andy and his classmates feel meeting a monster at school? 
During Reading 
(Note: Before the reading time begins, the teacher assigns some pupils for the role play of some 
story parts.) 
The Monster Who Came to School 
When Andy got on the bus on the first day of school, he saw a monster! Andy was very 
surprised. He did not know that monsters were allowed to go to school. But there the monster 
was. It was making all kinds of noise and would not sit down. It climbed on the seats and put 
its head out the window. It took up so much room that Andy had no place to sit. 
“Wow, that monster sure is noisy! I’ll bet it isn’t even supposed to be here,” Andy whispered 
to Vicky. 
STOP AND ASK: What do you think thewill the teacher will feel when she sees seeing a 
monster at in school? 
But Andy’s teacher was not at all surprised to see the monster entered the classroom. It 
pushed ahead of everyone, grabbed a box of toys, and dumped them on the floor. When Andy 
and the other children sat at their places, the monster started to throw the toys. 
Stop that!” said the teacher. “Even monsters are not allowed to throw toys.” 
The monster dropped the toys and started screaming. It screamed so loudly that no one could 
hear the teacher. “Be quiet!” the teacher finally said. 
The monster stopped screaming and the teacher said, “It’s time to play outside.” 
STOP AND ASK: What do you think would the monster do? 
Everyone stood up and walked to the door—everyone except the monster. It ran out the door 
without waiting for directions. 
Outside, the monster continued to behave like a monster. It pushed some children and took 
toys from others. It climbed up the slide the wrong way and sat at the top so no one else could 
slide down.
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
When the students returned to the classroom, the teacher tried to read them a story. But the 
monster shouted and laughed and no one could hear. Then it pulled the toys off the shelves 
again. It would just not listen! 
At lunchtime, the monster grabbed other people’s sandwiches. It dropped food in on the floor 
on purpose and poured its milk on the table. Later, when it was time to paint, the monster ran 
around the room painting big, black lines on the other children’s pictures! When the children 
formed a circle and tried to sing, the monster jumped around and stepped on their toes. It 
pounded on the piano until the teacher had to close it. 
At rest time, the monster laughed and talked and poked the children and even pulled their 
hair. “Come here!” said the teacher, who was very angry. “You are a real monster! Monsters 
are not allowed at school. Go away and never come back!” 
STOP AND ASK: What do you think will happen to the monster do? 
The monster burst into tears! Everyone was astonished. “I’m sorry!” cried the monster. “I’ve 
never been to school before. I didn’t know it was against the rules to shout and run and push, or 
to grab and throw things. Please don’t tell me I can’t come back! I will try to learn if you all 
will help me.” 
The teacher asked the children what they thought. The children decided to make a list of rules. 
They would let the monster stay---if it followed the rules. The monster worked hard to learn 
how to behave, and soon it knew all the rules, just the way all the children did.

Ask the pupils holding the pair of adjectives to go in front of the class one after the other.
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
Say: Listen to my questions. 
Ask: Which is bigger? Dog or cat? 
Carabao or goat? 
Ask the children holding the animals to go to the right post: big or bigger. 
Do the same with the remaining pair of adjectives.Can we read this? How is it related to our

( Name of pupil) is active. ( Name of pupil) is more active than ( name of pupil).
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
( Name of pupil) is happy. ( Name of pupil) is happier than ( name of pupil) 
Dear Kids, you see these children have something in common. Can you tell us what is it? 
They are both responsible, active and obedient. The only difference is that pupil is more 
active, more responsible and more obedient. 
One person Two persons, places or things compared 
Obedientbig More obedientbigger 
Activefragrant More activemore fragrant 
Happytall Happiertaller 
Attentivefast More attentivefaster 
Ask: 
How many animal is being described in the sentence the cat is big? 
What adjective was used to describe the cat? 
How many animals are being compared in the sentence, the dog is bigger than the cat? 
What adjective was used to compare the dog with the cat? (bigger) 
What happened to the adjective “big” when we use it to compare two animals? 
Use the same pattern of questions to the remaining sentences. 
What word do we add before the adjective if two persons are being compared? Example: Cindy is 
happy. Lea is happier than Cindy. Encourage pupils ’responses to deepen their understanding in 
making comparisons of adjectives. Sentence examples should be from the pupils themselves. 
3. Guided Practice 
Let your pupils form dyads. Each pair will be given description strip. 
Refer pupils to Activity 220. 
Refer your pupils to L21D3-Worksheet_:, LM page_.
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE

The Country Mouse and the City Mouse 
Adapted 
One summer, the Country Mouse invited his friend, the City Mouse, to have dinner at 
home. So, the Country Mouse prepared corn and camote for dinner. While eating, the 
City Mouse said, “You hardly have anything to eat here. Come to the city and I will 
show you such rich feast in my place.” 
STOP AND ASK: 
1. Who invited his friend to have a dinner? 
2. Who was invited for dinner?
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
3. What did the Country Mouse prepare for his friend? 
4. Did the City Mouse get satisfied with what his friend offer? Why? Why not? 
The Country Mouse was so curious about the city life. So, he decided to go with his 
friend. 
When they arrived, the Country Mouse looked around the house and he was so 
surprised! There were all kinds of food on the table. There were ham, cheese, jellies, 
cakes, and fruits. The Country Mouse started nibbling the cheese. 
“So delicious! I have never tasted anything like this,” he said. 
STOP AND ASK: 
1. Why did the Country Mouse decide to go to the city? 
2. What were the things the Country Mouse find in the city? 
3. What did the Country Mouse feel about the city? 
4. If you were the Country Mouse, would you stay long in the city? Why? 
Suddenly, before the Country Mouse barely took another bite, he heard some scratching 
sound. “Meow! Meow!” the cat said, approaching the dining table. 
“Run,” yelled the City Mouse. 
They ran to the corner as fast as they could. 
STOP AND ASK:
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
1. What did the two friends hear ? 
2. What did they do when they saw the catmouse? 
3. If you were the one of the mice, would you also run away from the cat? Why? 
“What is that?” asked the Country Mouse shaking his body. 
“A cat. Once he gets you, he’ll eat you up,” said the City Mouse. 
“This is terrible. I think I will go home. I’d rather have corn and camote in peace than 
sugar and cheese in danger,” said the Country Mouse to his friend. So, he went back to his 
home with a happy heart. 
STOP AND ASK: 
1. What did the County Mouse decide to do? 
2. What did the Country Mouse mean when he said “I’d rather have corn and camote in peace 
than sugar and cheese in danger”? 
3. If you were the Country Mouse, would you also decide to leave the city? Why? Why not?

1. Skill Lesson: Cause and Effect Presentation/Introduction 
(Note: Present the diagram of events of the story The Country Mouse and The City Mouse.)
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
Say: Let us go back to the story. What did the Country Mouse decide to do at the beginning of 
the story? What were the results of the Country Mouse’ decision/act? 
The Country Mouse went to the city. 
The Country Mouse got surprised of at 
what he see saw on the table. 
The Country Mouse saw and ate a lot of 
different kinds of food served on the 
table. 
The Country Mouse together with the 
City Mouse were chased by a big cat. 
Ask: What are the results or the effects of the Country Mouse’ visit to the city? 
2. Modeling/Teaching 
Let us take a look at the sentences that we formed from the diagram. 
a. The Country Mouse decided to visit the city because he was too curious about what 
the city looks like. 
b. The City Mouse and the Country Mouse ran to the corner of the house so they can 
hide from the cat. 
c. So that Country Mouse can have peace of mind, he decided to go back to the farm. 
Discuss how the clue words (because, so, so that) can help the pupils find out which part of 
the sentence tells the cause or the effect. 
By simply examining the cause-and-effect chart diagram above, is it possible for a cause to 
have several effects?
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
Remember: 
· A cause is why something happens. To find a cause, look for a reason that why something 
happened. 
· An effect is what happens because of the cause. To find an effect, look for something that 
happened.the results of the cause. 
· Usually, a cause always happens first. T, then it will beis followed by an the effect. 
· Clue words such as because, so, and so that are often used to help you understand cause 
and effect in a sentence. 
3. Guided Practice 
Say: I will read to you a selection to you. Listen well and complete the diagram of Cause and 
Effect on in your notebook. 
Refer your pupils to L22D2-Worksheet_, LM page_. 
(Note: Read the selection aloud.) 
There are many reasons why people move to the city. There are lots of jobs in big 
buildings, hospitals, schools, and offices, . They move in to the city because 
colorful lights along its busy streets interest them. People are busyier and more 
active. because they work harder. The cCity is a place where new things could be 
found. 
4. Independent Practice 
Reasons Why People Move to the City 
Say:. Listen as I read another selection to you. Based on the selection, present a short dialog 
showing the cause and several effects. 
Refer your class to LM Activity 232. 
Things Happen When People Move to the City 
Many people move in to the city. Everything becomes different. The cities become 
crowded; there are so many cars on the streets. Traffic moves slower. Collecting 
garbage becomes a bigger problem.

Skill Lesson: Complex Sentences 
1. Presentation/Introduction 
Post three sentences about Why and Things Happen When People Move to the City on the 
board. 
Say: Let us read again some sentences from our paragraph yesterday. 
2. Modeling/Teaching 
Point to the first sentence. 
Many people move to the city because they can find a better job. 
Ask: 
· Who How many ideas does the sentence give? 
· Which tells the first idea? 
· Which tells the second idea? 
· Which idea can stand alone for meaning? 
· Which idea cannot stand alone for meaning? 
· What word helps to connect the two ideas? 
Say: Let us read the next sentence. 
When people move to the city, the place becomes crowded. 
Ask:
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
· Who How many ideas does the sentence give? 
· Which tells the first idea? 
· Which tells the second idea? 
· Which idea can stand alone for meaning? 
· Which idea cannot stand alone for meaning? 
· What word helps to connect the two ideas? 
Say: This These sentences is called complex sentences. We combine two simple sentences 
using conjunctions to form a complex sentence. 
A complex sentence is made up of two parts, an independent calause and a dependent clause 
joined by linking words or conjunction. 
Words like because, when, after, though, as soon as and so that are examples of conjunctions 
that can be used in a complex sentence. These conjunctions make one part of the sentence 
subordinate to the other part. 
3. Guided Practice 
Let us have a fun activity. Interview anyone in the school about: 
1. What does s/he want to do? 
· 
· 3. What would happen if s/he continues doing it? 
What does she want? What would happen if s/he 
continue doing it? 
Ex. Drawing dresses dolls could have many 
clothes

The Butterfly and the Caterpillar 
an adaptation by Joseph Lauren 
One summer morning, a butterfly rested on a beautiful rose. While she sipped the 
sweet nectar from the flower, she saw a caterpillar crawl up the garden wall. 
“Horrors!” the butterfly exclaimed, “Stop! Don’t come near me. I’m ashamed to be 
seen where you are.” 
Ask: Why do you think the butterfly was the butterfly ashamed? 
The caterpillar continued crawling. He munched on the leaf without listening to the 
butterfly’s cry. 
“Where are your wings? What are you eating?” the butterfly asked. 
Ask: Does the caterpillar have wings?If he have has as the butterfly claimed 
then,where are they?
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
The caterpillar walked ahead. Then he said, “Eight days ago, young butterfly, you 
were the same as I am. One night from today, my wings will grow. I would fly and 
see all the bright and beautiful flowers.” 
Ask: How do did the butterfly looks like eight days ago? 
“I’m sure my wings would be brighter and more beautiful than yours. 
So, go, fly but try not to be so proud. Each caterpillar is given a chance to become a 
butterfly. We are but the same. ” 
Ask: what What will happen to caterpillar in the days to come? What should all 
butterflies need to remember while flying?

Skill Lesson: Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives 
1. Presentation/Introduction 
(Note: Place three toy monkeys, each one bigger than the other, 
in a bag. Let the class describe the monkeys and compare them according to size.) 
Ask: What do you know about monkeys? How are they 
characterized in most stories that you read? 
Say: I will read to you a short story about monkeys. Listen well. 
Three clever cats lived in a house. The white cat was big. The black cat is bigger 
than the white cat. The striped cat was the biggest of the three. 
One day they baked a cake for dinner. “I will eat all the cake”, said the white cat in a 
loud voice. 
“I will eat it alone”, said the black cat in a louder voice.
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
“I will eat it all by myself” said the striped cat in the loudest voice. 
A clever monkey lived in a tree nearby. He was more more clever than the cats. In 
fact, he was the most clever monkey in the world. He heard what the cats said and came into 
their house. The cats were busy fighting among themselves. They did not see the monkey. 
The monkey ate up the whole cake. 
At last they stopped fighting. “Where’s the cake?” they said. “It ran away because 
you made too much noise,” said the monkey. 
2. Modeling/Teaching 
Using the charts below lead the class in t them answering the following questions. 
Ask: What are the adjectives used to compare the three cats? 
Three cats White cat Black cat Striped cat 
Their voice 
What adjective is used to compare the monkey and the cats? What adjective is used to 
compare the monkey with all monkeys in the world? 
Monkey Monkey and the cats Monkey and all the 
monkeys in the world 
POSITIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE 
After the children gave give their answers, write on the orange box POSITIVE, on the green 
box COMPARATIVE and on the red box SUPERLATIVE . Then, ask the children what were 
added to form the comparative and superlative forms and , how many were being compared.
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
Say: Comparing with using adjectives has three degrees. They These are the positive, 
comparative, and superlative degrees. We use adjectives in the positive degree if we are 
describing only one thing or person. We say Ann is tall. We use adjectives in the comparative 
degree if we are describing two objects or persons. We say The monkey was more clever than 
the cats. We say Sam is taller than Ann. We use adjectives in the superlative degree if we are 
describing three or more things and person. We say In fact, he was the most clever monkey in 
the world. 
For comparative degree of adjective, we add er at the end of some adjectives. We can also 
add more before some adjectives. In sentences using this degree of comparison, we use the 
word than. 
For superlative degree of adjective, we add est at the end of some adjectives. We can also add 
most before some adjectives. In sentences using this degree of comparison, we use the word 
of all.Tom is the tallest among them. 
3. Guided Practice 
Group students into fours and let them think of adjectives and its degrees of comparison. After 
the given time, group presentation follows. Any group who has the same adjective with other 
group should cross it out. The group with the most remaining list, wins. 
POSITIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE 
Challenge them to write at least 2 or 3 sentences using the comparative and superlative form of 
each adjective. 
Rewrite each sentence using either the comparative or superlative form of the adjective on your 
notebook.

Lesson 23 Day 4: Fluency/Writing/Complex Sentences 
Skill Lesson: digraph ee as in sheep 
Refer your pupils to L23D4-Worksheet_, LM page_ 
Skill Lesson: Complex Sentences 
1. Presentation/Introduction 
Read the story “A Day at the Park” to students 
Say: Today, I am going to read to you a short story. Listen well because I will ask a few 
questions about it. 
I went to the park. I went on Saturday. I went with my friends. My friends are 
Marie, Connie, and Roy. We rode our bikes. I rode my new bike. Roy brought his 
basketball. We played basketball. We played for two hours. We wereIt was hot. We 
were thirsty. Connie and Roy’s mom brought us lemonade and sandwiches. We ate 
them for lunch. We had a lot of fun. 
Ask: 
What can you say about the story? 
How did it sound? 
What did you notice about it? 
A Day at the Park 
Explain to the students that, many times, weak stories are full of very short, choppy sentences. 
One way writers can make these stories stronger is to learn how to combine short sentences into 
longer sentences. 
2. Modeling/Teaching 
Let us compare some group of words from the story. 
I went to the park. It is Saturday 
I went to the park because it is Saturday.
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
We combined the two simple sentences. Now, we have I went to the park as the independent 
clause. It expresses a complete thought. Because it is Saturday is a dependent clause. It does 
not express complete thought. The marker because suggest that because it is Saturday is a 
dependent clause. 
To combine the two simple sentences we used the marker because. 
Say: A clause can be dependent because of the presence of a: 
· Marker Word (Before, after, because, since, in order to, although, though, 
whenever, wherever, whether, while, even though, even if) 
· Conjunction (And, or, nor, but, yet) 
Let us have the next group of words. 
We played basketball. We played for two hours. It is hot. 
The new sentence is: We played basketball for two hours even if it’s hot. 
How did we do it? We combined the three sentences. Now, we have an independent clause 
“We played basketball for two hours” and dependent clause “even if it’s hot”. The marker 
“even if” tell us that even if it’s hot is a dependent clause. 
Let us have the next independent and dependent clauses. 
Connie and Roy’s mom brought us lemonade and sandwiches. We ate them for lunch. 
Ask the children to combine sentences below using the chart provided . 
· The butterfly shouted. He saw the caterpillar crawling up the 
· garden wall. 
· The caterpillar did not listen to the butterfly’s cry. He knew he can be a butterfly one day. 
· The caterpillar is wiser than the butterfly. He knew they are the 
same. 
First Sentence Use because or when Second Sentence 
Ex. The butterfly shouted When He saw the caterpillar crawling 
up the garden wall 
The new sentence is: Connie and Roy’s mom brought us lemonade that we ate for lunch. 
How did we do it? What words were omitted? What word did we use to combine the two 
sentences?
GRADE 3 ENGLISH TEACHER’S GUIDE 
Ask: How many sentences were combined? What combine the sentences together? Did the sentences 
sound better than when they are apart? 
Explain to the children that when we combine independent and dependent clauses together we form 
a complex sentence.) 
Say: When we combine independent and dependent clauses together we form a complex sentence. 
3. Guided Practice 
In small groups, have the class combine the set of dependent and independent clauses below. 
Dependent Clause Independent Clause New Sentences 
Because Roy brought his 
We played basketball. 
basketball, 
After riding our bikes, We played volleyball. 
Although it is raining, It is fun to be with friends in 
the park. 
Before dinner time, I should be home to meet my 
cousins who come from the 
province. 
students revise the story by combining independent and dependent clauses into complex 
sentences. 
4. Independent Practice 
Have students find complex sentences in the books they are reading. Have them copy them on 
in their notebook. Have them separate the two clauses in each sentence.bookmarks

Teacher reads aloud the story “Two Friends, One World” (Francisca’s Story) 
Two Friends, One World 
Francisca’s Story 
by Ramon C. Sunico and Joanne de leon 
I have a friend who lives in another world. His name is Antonio. The world he lives 
in is full of sounds and smells and tastes and feeling. 
My world is also full of sounds and smells and tastes and feeling, but sometimes, I 
am too busy seeing to notice these other things. 
Every Saturday afternoon, as the sun is about to go down, his mama brings him to 
the park where I am already waiting. I can see him from far away because, Papa 
says, I have such big eyes. 
I run to him and take his hand and his Mama lets us walk around. Antonio teaches 
me to be quiet- so quiet I can hear the wind talk to the leaves, so quiet I can feel the 
air turn cooler as the sun leaves the sky. 
Antonio cannot see. He cannot see but he can smell the white flowers of the rosal 
bush growing beside the broken wall of an old church behind the park –before I can 
even come close enough to see the church. He knows when papa has brought 
mangoes for us to eat, even when these are still in the basket. 
One day, he showed me my first grasshopper. I was trying to tell him what a 
mountain looked like when he said suddenly, “Shh Francisca, listen! There is 
something moving in the grass.” 
“Where, where? I can’t see anything!” I complained. 
“Ay naku. Francisca, quiet or you’ll scare it away. Look with your ears first and 
then with your eyes. Try to listen to yourself breathe and all the other sounds will 
follow.”
And sure enough, I heard something small moving the dried grass aside. I followed 
the sound, first with my ears and then with my eyes. Slowly, very slowly. And 
when I could only hear Antonio and me breathing, I saw the grasshopper-all green 
and pointed, with red stripe down its back. 
And I thanked Antonio for showing me how to find the place where the 
grasshoppers hide. 
And he smiled the same smile he smiles after tasting a cool, ripe mango. 
One day, I will tell him that, maybe, we do not live in two worlds. 
After all, we meet every Saturday afternoon. What I can see, he can hear or taste or 
smell or touch. What he cannot see, I can bring to him with words. 
One day, we will meet one Saturday afternoon and I will tell him that, maybe there 
is only one world. But it is so big and beautiful and there are so many things going 
on inside it, that it takes two friends to enjoy it’s sweetness like a great, cool, sweet, 
smooth, golden-yellow mango.

Dear friend, 
I’m so happy today. I went to the park earlier with Antonio, my best friend. I saw a 
grasshopper earlier. It was my first time to see this kind of insect when Antonio told me about 
it. Now I know what a grasshopper looks like. I thank Antonio for showing me how to find the 
place where the grasshoppers hide. I hope to see Antonio again next week. 
Your friend, 
Francisca 
Ask: Who wrote the letter? Describe how the writer feels when she wrote the letter? Why is she 
happy?

“But wait, Mom! They still fit me. Look,” Mateo said after fitting on his old red shirt. 
“Grandma gave this to me. It’s my favorite,” Mateo added. 
Mateo tried putting on his old jacket, pairs of pants and slippers. They are still fit meokay. 
Mateo remembered who gave them and when he received those items. 
“Oh why did I grow so much? I love these clothes. “Mateo told his mother. 
“Ok, you can take them back,” Mother told Mateo. 
So Mateo got the box with his old shirt, jacket, pants and slippers in it. 
The next day Mother asked Mateo where the box was. She hoped that Mateo would change 
his mind. 
“Mama, the box was gone. I wasn’t able to take it to the evacuation center,” Mateo said. 
“Oh, what happened?” Mother asked. “On my way to the evacuation center, I found a child 
who really needed some new clothes. I gave the box to him,” Mateo said.

By: Jelly Sore 
That Sunday night, Mateo had a dream. He dreamed about Rocky, the boy to whom he 
gave a box of clothes. When Rocky wore Mateo’s old red shirt, Rocky transformed into a 
superhero. Super RR, short for Super Red Rocky was on his shirt. He had a pair of red pants, a 
golden cap and a golden cape. He flew a on top of a golden mountain and looked at the village 
with his pair of red eyeglass. There was a flood. He saw people on top of their houses. They 
were asking for help. Super RR took off his pair of golden shoes and changed them to in to two 
shiny red boats. In a few minutes, he reached the village and saved hundreds of people. Mateo 
was one of them. Just then, Mateo’s clock rang. Mateo opened his eyes. It was already a bright 
Monday morning.

Determines whether a story is realistic or fantasy 
1. Presentation/Introduction 
Some stories are about real things. Some stories are about make believe things. Sometimes, the 
pictures in a story can help you decide whether a story is real or make believe. 
I am going to share with you some pictures. Show me a “thumbs up” sign if it is realistic and 
“stamp your right foot” once if it is a fantasy. 
 
picture of a dog sitting on a 
sofa 
picture of a dog reading a 
book 
Picture of a school boy 
riding in a flying banana leaf 
School children riding in a 
tricycle going to school 
A frog playing ball A frog chasing an insect 
Say: Let us recall our story about “The Brave Little Girl” 
Is the story of “The Brave Little Girl” realistic or fantasy? Why do you say so? 
2. Modeling/Teaching 
Say: Are the characters in our story realistic or fancifula fantasy? Why do you say so? 
I have changed the ending of our story with this paragraph. Let us read. 
Trina could not just stare at their burning house while she knew 
her two other brothers were there. She turned as swift as she could and 
lo! An aluminum basin dropped where she stood and said “Come Trina, 
we will help your brothers”. 
Trina hopped on to the basin and flew fast to their burning 
house. The people were in panic that no one ever noticed Trina and the 
flying basin. After a couple of minutes, Trina was back riding in the
flying basin with her two brothers free from any burn. 
Flash words with the character, setting and some events in the story. 
Say: I will be distributing letter cards with the “R” and “F” and we will be playing a 
game. Raise your “R” letter card if it is realistic and “F” letter card if it is 
a fantasy. 
Trina Talking Aluminum Basin 
In front of the burning house Trina could not just stare at 
their burning house. 
The people were in panic. The basin said “Come Trina, 
we will save your brother.” 
Trina rode on a flying basin 
Ask: How will you know that if the characters, setting or event is realistic or a fantasy? 
the pupils understand that the characters, or are realistic Let the pupils understand that the characters, setting or events are realistic if 
they are real and can happen in real life. On the other hand, they are a fantasy if 
they are make-believe and only are products of one’s imagination.

Let pupils’ ideas freely flow.) 3. Motive Question What do you think will Andy and his classmates feel meeting a monster at school? During Reading (Note: Before the reading time begins, the teacher assigns some pupils for the role play of some story parts.) The Monster Who Came to School When Andy got on the bus on the first day of school, he saw a monster! Andy was very surprised. He did not know that monsters were allowed to go to school. But there the monster was. It was making all kinds of noise and would not sit down. It climbed on the seats and put its head out the window. It took up so much room that Andy had no place to sit. “Wow, that monster sure is noisy! I’ll bet it isn’t even supposed to be here,” Andy whispered to Vicky. STOP AND ASK: What do you think thewill the teacher will feel when she sees seeing a monster at in school? But Andy’s teacher was not at all surprised to see the monster entered the classroom. It pushed ahead of everyone, grabbed a box of toys, and dumped them on the floor. When Andy and the other children sat at their places, the monster started to throw the toys. Stop that!” said the teacher. “Even monsters are not allowed to throw toys.” The monster dropped the toys and started screaming. It screamed so loudly that no one could hear the teacher. “Be quiet!” the teacher finally said. The monster stopped screaming and the teacher said, “It’s time to play outside.” STOP AND ASK: What do you think would the monster do? Everyone stood up and walked to the door—everyone except the monster. It ran out the door without waiting for directions. Outside, the monster continued to behave like a monster. It pushed some children and took toys from others. It climbed up the slide the wrong way and sat at the top so no one else could slide down.

    GRADE 3 ENGLISHTEACHER’S GUIDE When the students returned to the classroom, the teacher tried to read them a story. But the monster shouted and laughed and no one could hear. Then it pulled the toys off the shelves again. It would just not listen! At lunchtime, the monster grabbed other people’s sandwiches. It dropped food in on the floor on purpose and poured its milk on the table. Later, when it was time to paint, the monster ran around the room painting big, black lines on the other children’s pictures! When the children formed a circle and tried to sing, the monster jumped around and stepped on their toes. It pounded on the piano until the teacher had to close it. At rest time, the monster laughed and talked and poked the children and even pulled their hair. “Come here!” said the teacher, who was very angry. “You are a real monster! Monsters are not allowed at school. Go away and never come back!” STOP AND ASK: What do you think will happen to the monster do? The monster burst into tears! Everyone was astonished. “I’m sorry!” cried the monster. “I’ve never been to school before. I didn’t know it was against the rules to shout and run and push, or to grab and throw things. Please don’t tell me I can’t come back! I will try to learn if you all will help me.” The teacher asked the children what they thought. The children decided to make a list of rules. They would let the monster stay---if it followed the rules. The monster worked hard to learn how to behave, and soon it knew all the rules, just the way all the children did. Post Reading 1.

Say: This These sentences is called complex sentences. We combine two simple sentences using conjunctions to form a complex sentence. A complex sentence is made up of two parts, an independent calause and a dependent clause joined by linking words or conjunction. Words like because, when, after, though, as soon as and so that are examples of conjunctions that can be used in a complex sentence. These conjunctions make one part of the sentence subordinate to the other part. 3. Guided Practice Let us have a fun activity. Interview anyone in the school about: 1.

Skill Lesson: Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives 1. Presentation/Introduction (Note: Place three toy monkeys, each one bigger than the other, in a bag. Let the class describe the monkeys and compare them according to size.) Ask: What do you know about monkeys? How are they characterized in most stories that you read? Say: I will read to you a short story about monkeys. Listen well. Three clever cats lived in a house. The white cat was big. The black cat is bigger than the white cat. The striped cat was the biggest of the three. One day they baked a cake for dinner. “I will eat all the cake”, said the white cat in a loud voice. “I will eat it alone”, said the black cat in a louder voice.
  • 65.
    GRADE 3 ENGLISHTEACHER’S GUIDE “I will eat it all by myself” said the striped cat in the loudest voice. A clever monkey lived in a tree nearby. He was more more clever than the cats. In fact, he was the most clever monkey in the world. He heard what the cats said and came into their house. The cats were busy fighting among themselves. They did not see the monkey. The monkey ate up the whole cake. At last they stopped fighting. “Where’s the cake?” they said. “It ran away because you made too much noise,” said the monkey. 2. Modeling/Teaching Using the charts below lead the class in t them answering the following questions. Ask: What are the adjectives used to compare the three cats? Three cats White cat Black cat Striped cat Their voice What adjective is used to compare the monkey and the cats? What adjective is used to compare the monkey with all monkeys in the world? Monkey Monkey and the cats Monkey and all the monkeys in the world POSITIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE After the children gave give their answers, write on the orange box POSITIVE, on the green box COMPARATIVE and on the red box SUPERLATIVE . Then, ask the children what were added to form the comparative and superlative forms and , how many were being compared.
  • 66.
    GRADE 3 ENGLISHTEACHER’S GUIDE Say: Comparing with using adjectives has three degrees. They These are the positive, comparative, and superlative degrees. We use adjectives in the positive degree if we are describing only one thing or person. We say Ann is tall. We use adjectives in the comparative degree if we are describing two objects or persons. We say The monkey was more clever than the cats. We say Sam is taller than Ann. We use adjectives in the superlative degree if we are describing three or more things and person. We say In fact, he was the most clever monkey in the world. For comparative degree of adjective, we add er at the end of some adjectives. We can also add more before some adjectives. In sentences using this degree of comparison, we use the word than. For superlative degree of adjective, we add est at the end of some adjectives. We can also add most before some adjectives. In sentences using this degree of comparison, we use the word of all.Tom is the tallest among them. 3. Guided Practice Group students into fours and let them think of adjectives and its degrees of comparison. After the given time, group presentation follows. Any group who has the same adjective with other group should cross it out. The group with the most remaining list, wins. POSITIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE Challenge them to write at least 2 or 3 sentences using the comparative and superlative form of each adjective. Rewrite each sentence using either the comparative or superlative form of the adjective on your notebook. Refer your pupils to L23D3-Worksheet_, LM page _. 4. Independent Practice Refer your pupils to LM Activity 247. A. Group students into four and let them think of adjectives and its degrees of comparison as many as they can. After the given time, group presentation follows. Any group who has the same adjective with other group should cross it out. The group with the most remaining list, wins.

    GRADE 3 ENGLISHTEACHER’S GUIDE B. Challenge them to write atleast 2 or 3 sentences using the comparative and superlative form of each adjective. Lesson 23 Day 4: Fluency/Writing/Complex Sentences Skill Lesson: digraph ee as in sheep Refer your pupils to L23D4-Worksheet_, LM page_ Skill Lesson: Complex Sentences 1. Presentation/Introduction Read the story “A Day at the Park” to students Say: Today, I am going to read to you a short story. Listen well because I will ask a few questions about it. I went to the park. I went on Saturday. I went with my friends. My friends are Marie, Connie, and Roy. We rode our bikes. I rode my new bike. Roy brought his basketball. We played basketball. We played for two hours. We wereIt was hot. We were thirsty. Connie and Roy’s mom brought us lemonade and sandwiches. We ate them for lunch. We had a lot of fun. Ask: What can you say about the story? How did it sound? What did you notice about it? A Day at the Park Explain to the students that, many times, weak stories are full of very short, choppy sentences. One way writers can make these stories stronger is to learn how to combine short sentences into longer sentences. 2. Modeling/Teaching Let us compare some group of words from the story. I went to the park. It is Saturday I went to the park because it is Saturday.
  • 68.
    GRADE 3 ENGLISHTEACHER’S GUIDE We combined the two simple sentences. Now, we have I went to the park as the independent clause. It expresses a complete thought. Because it is Saturday is a dependent clause. It does not express complete thought. The marker because suggest that because it is Saturday is a dependent clause. To combine the two simple sentences we used the marker because. Say: A clause can be dependent because of the presence of a: · Marker Word (Before, after, because, since, in order to, although, though, whenever, wherever, whether, while, even though, even if) · Conjunction (And, or, nor, but, yet) Let us have the next group of words. We played basketball. We played for two hours. It is hot. The new sentence is: We played basketball for two hours even if it’s hot. How did we do it? We combined the three sentences. Now, we have an independent clause “We played basketball for two hours” and dependent clause “even if it’s hot”. The marker “even if” tell us that even if it’s hot is a dependent clause. Let us have the next independent and dependent clauses. Connie and Roy’s mom brought us lemonade and sandwiches. We ate them for lunch. Ask the children to combine sentences below using the chart provided . · The butterfly shouted. He saw the caterpillar crawling up the · garden wall. · The caterpillar did not listen to the butterfly’s cry. He knew he can be a butterfly one day. · The caterpillar is wiser than the butterfly. He knew they are the same. First Sentence Use because or when Second Sentence Ex. The butterfly shouted When He saw the caterpillar crawling up the garden wall The new sentence is: Connie and Roy’s mom brought us lemonade that we ate for lunch. How did we do it? What words were omitted? What word did we use to combine the two sentences?
  • 69.
    GRADE 3 ENGLISHTEACHER’S GUIDE Ask: How many sentences were combined? What combine the sentences together? Did the sentences sound better than when they are apart? Explain to the children that when we combine independent and dependent clauses together we form a complex sentence.) Say: When we combine independent and dependent clauses together we form a complex sentence. 3. Guided Practice In small groups, have the class combine the set of dependent and independent clauses below. Dependent Clause Independent Clause New Sentences Because Roy brought his We played basketball. basketball, After riding our bikes, We played volleyball. Although it is raining, It is fun to be with friends in the park. Before dinner time, I should be home to meet my cousins who come from the province. students revise the story by combining independent and dependent clauses into complex sentences. 4. Independent Practice Have students find complex sentences in the books they are reading. Have them copy them on in their notebook. Have them separate the two clauses in each sentence.bookmarks .

During Reading Note: Before and while reading, lead the class in making inferences. inferring the whereabouts of the story Teacher reads aloud the story “Two Friends, One World” (Francisca’s Story) Two Friends, One World Francisca’s Story by Ramon C. Sunico and Joanne de leon I have a friend who lives in another world. His name is Antonio. The world he lives in is full of sounds and smells and tastes and feeling. My world is also full of sounds and smells and tastes and feeling, but sometimes, I am too busy seeing to notice these other things. Every Saturday afternoon, as the sun is about to go down, his mama brings him to the park where I am already waiting. I can see him from far away because, Papa says, I have such big eyes. I run to him and take his hand and his Mama lets us walk around. Antonio teaches me to be quiet- so quiet I can hear the wind talk to the leaves, so quiet I can feel the air turn cooler as the sun leaves the sky. Antonio cannot see. He cannot see but he can smell the white flowers of the rosal bush growing beside the broken wall of an old church behind the park –before I can even come close enough to see the church. He knows when papa has brought mangoes for us to eat, even when these are still in the basket. One day, he showed me my first grasshopper. I was trying to tell him what a mountain looked like when he said suddenly, “Shh Francisca, listen! There is something moving in the grass.” “Where, where? I can’t see anything!” I complained. “Ay naku. Francisca, quiet or you’ll scare it away. Look with your ears first and then with your eyes. Try to listen to yourself breathe and all the other sounds will follow.”
  • 80.
    And sure enough,I heard something small moving the dried grass aside. I followed the sound, first with my ears and then with my eyes. Slowly, very slowly. And when I could only hear Antonio and me breathing, I saw the grasshopper-all green and pointed, with red stripe down its back. And I thanked Antonio for showing me how to find the place where the grasshoppers hide. And he smiled the same smile he smiles after tasting a cool, ripe mango. One day, I will tell him that, maybe, we do not live in two worlds. After all, we meet every Saturday afternoon. What I can see, he can hear or taste or smell or touch. What he cannot see, I can bring to him with words. One day, we will meet one Saturday afternoon and I will tell him that, maybe there is only one world. But it is so big and beautiful and there are so many things going on inside it, that it takes two friends to enjoy it’s sweetness like a great, cool, sweet, smooth, golden-yellow mango.
