The document provides guidance and activities for teaching students about transition words. It begins by defining transition words as linking words that connect ideas and add cohesion to writing. Several functions of transition words are listed, such as showing order, indicating a new idea, or signaling a contrast. Students then study examples of transition words in paragraphs and identify the function of each word. The document provides activities where students practice using transition words to show sequence in sentences. It also instructs students to create original sentences using different transition words.

direct assistance in the security of the West
Philippine Sea.

5. Find Out and Learn

for the security of the West Philippine Sea and will
not directly involve in its security.
Encourage students to voice their opinions
from their respective corners. Then have
each group gathered in response to a
statement work together to write a clear
statement explaining their position.

6. Find Out and Learn

11. Write About It
• Bongbong on bilateral talks: China opened the
door, we shut it
MANILA, Philippines - Sen. Ferdinand "Bongbong"
Marcos Jr. perceives the Philippines' rejection of
bilateral talks with China as a wasted opportunity
to resolve the maritime dispute over the South
China Sea.
"China opened the door and we shut it. The
Chinese said let's talk and we snubbed them,"
Marcos said during a media forum, adding that
the country failed to take advantage of the given
opportunity.

12. Write About It
• READ: China to Philippines: Let's sit down and
talk
According to the senator, there are only three
ways to resolve the said dispute: by war,
adjudication or multilateral or bilateral
agreements.
Marcos ruled out war and arbitration since
the Chinese would not recognize the latter.
"So talk, and tell them: we are not happy with
what you are doing and we do not agree with
what you are doing. But the next thing you say is:
how do we fix this?" the senator said.

13. Write About It
The Senate Committee of Foreign Relations
chair noted that the Philippines will not lose
anything if accept China's invitation to a dialogue
on the maritime dispute.
"We should talk to China bilaterally because it
is still the best option. Our Filipino businessmen
can also help by reaching out to their Chinese
counterparts and friends in China and try to come
up with a solution that will persuade both
governments to, at least, sit down and negotiate,
or at most, resolve the problem outright," Marcos
said.

14. Write About It
Marcos stressed that the Philippines
should not be "snobbish" in dealing with
"superpower" China. He added that he cannot
see any reason not to talk with China.
"We're strategically important to any great
power in Asia-Pacific, but we have to play that
role even-handedly. We have to stop thinking
in terms of kakampi ko ang Chinese, kakampi
ko ang Kano. Ang kakampi mo lang Pilipino,"
the senator added.

15. Write About It
The Philippines sent a delegation to the
United Nations Arbitral Tribunal to defend its
stand against China's nine-dash line claim over
the South China Sea.

• Outlining is arranging notes so that important ideas
stand out and make clear which point supports
each of the important ideas.
– Things to remember in making an outline;
– The title for the outline should be used in the report
itself.
– Use Roman numerals I, II, III etc. to number topic from
the others.
– Use capital letters A, B, C, D, to indicate subheadings.
– Use Arabic numerals 1, 2, 3 to number detail headings.

19. Think and Tell
– Subdivisions of the same kind should fall under the
same alignment and indention: B under A, 2 under
1.
– A period is needed after the letter or number of
each heading but not after the heading itself.
– The first letter of each heading should be
capitalized. (Tell the pupils that the term main
headings is used for main ideas and subheadings for
the supporting details in an outline.

20. Find Out and Learn
Read the selection and have students reflect
on how the tour text activity supported their
understanding about the selection.
Rocks
There are many kinds of rocks. Generally,
according to how they are formed, rocks are
classified as igneous, sedimentary or
metamorphic.

21. Find Out and Learn
• Igneous Rocks
Deep within the earth’s surface exists
molten or melted materials known as magma.
This molten rock material is extremely hot
with temperature ranging from 749˚ to
1093˚C. High pressure may force the magma
to work its way upward to the earth’s surface
through the cracks or fissures. When these
molten rock materials cool off and solidify,
they form what we call igneous rocks which
mean “formed by fire.”

22. Find Out and Learn
Igneous rocks occur in two principal forms:
intrusive igneous rock and extrusive igneous
rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are igneous rocks
that do not rise all the way to the surface of
the earth. They hardened up before reaching
the earth’s surface. They have coarse mineral
grains and crystals that can be easily seen.
These are also called plutonic rocks. Extrusive
igneous rocks are formed and solidified on the
surface of the earth.

23. Find Out and Learn
They are usually fine grained, glassy or finely
crystalline in texture. Since these rocks are
formed from molten materials that are
expelled by volcanic eruptions, they are also
called volcanic rocks or pyroclastic rocks.
• Sedimentary Rocks
There are rocks that consist of materials
that were once was part of older rocks or of
plants and animal parts.

24. Find Out and Learn
These rocks were deposited millions of years
ago as layers of loose materials which become
cemented together. They are called
sedimentary rocks from the word “sediments”.
They are grouped into three: 1) classic or
fragmental sedimentary, 2) chemical
sedimentary, and 3) organic sedimentary.
Classic or fragmental sedimentary is
composed of rock fragments carried and
deposited by wind, water or glacier and are
cemented together.

25. Find Out and Learn
Chemical sedimentary is composed of
deposits of minerals dissolved in water. The
evaporation of water causes the minerals to
crystallize leaving mineral deposits. Organic
sedimentary is composed of shells, skeletons
and other parts of plants or animals.
Many different substances can act as
cement that bind the sedimentary rocks. Of
these, the most common are calcium
carbonate, silica, mud, clay and iron oxide.

26. Find Out and Learn
• Metamorphic Rock
Rocks that have changed its appearance and
sometimes its mineral composition due to either
extreme heat or pressure are called metamorphic
rocks. They often show a layered structure but
some are said to be massive. Metamorphic rocks
that layered in appearance are known as foliated
rocks while those that are massive are known as
unfoliated rocks. All kinds of rocks, including
igneous and sedimentary, usually undergo
metamorphism and produce the so called
metamorphic rocks.

27. Find Out and Learn
Answer the following questions.
1. What are the three main kinds of rocks?
2. What are the principal forms of igneous rocks?
3. What are the three groups of sedimentary rocks?

letters and place a period after each. Arrange the
capital letters in a straight line too.
– All main topic heading should be divided into at least
two parts. A topic cannot logically be decided into
only one part.

grammatical form.
