MOTIVATION
Warm Up
Let us sing the “The Greatest Love of All”
(Students will sing)
I believe that children are our future;
Teach them well and let them lead the way.
Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier;
Let the children's laughter remind us how we use to be.
Everybody's searching for a hero;
People need someone to look up to.
I never found anyone who fulfilled my need.
A lonely place to be, and so I learned to depend on me.
I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow.
If I fail, if I succeed.
At least I lived as I believe.
No matter what they take from me,
They can't take away my dignity.
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me.
I found the greatest love of all inside of me.
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve.
Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.

And if by chance that special place that you've been dreaming of
Lead you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
Writer/s: LINDA CREED, MICHAEL MASSER
“Okay, class. Now, what can you say about the (One student raises his/ her hand)
song? What does the writer believe in?” “Ma’am, even though the song is very short; I
guess it’s full of emotions.”
“Why do you say so?” “Because, Ma’am I noticed that the song has a lot
to do with our love for children or love from
mother to her daughter, or 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, Cyril. You
know what, Class, the song simply tells us that we
should always consider or keep our relationship
with our family or 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 Cyril said, the
writer believes that you, the younger generation are
the hope of our Fatherland.”
“Everybody had just sung very well. Give
yourselves a big hand.”
B. Lesson Proper
Presentation of the Lesson
“Class, as a review, what is a sentence?” “Ma’am, a sentence is a word or group of words
that has a complete thought or meaning. It starts
with a capital letter.”
“You’re right, Ms. Diolola. Our lesson for today is
all about the different kinds of sentences. I have
here four sentences and I need four volunteers to
read these sentences with emotions or feelings and
tell us if what kind of sentences are they”
(Post the activity on the board and call on four
random students)
1. Mrs. Lena attends in the weekly prayer (Farrah)
meeting.
2. Why are smiling? (Cyril)
3. Kindly place the flower in the vase. (Jack Lloyd)
4. We’ve won! We’ve won! (Rizza)
Discussion
“Class, these are sentences, right? But, sentences “Ma’am, one thing I remembered that it’s a
are classified according to its use. Ms. Real, why declarative sentence, when the sentence ends with a
do you say that it is a declarative sentence?” period.”
“Yes, you have a point. For sentence no. 2, is it “Yes, Ma’am. An interrogative sentence is a
really an interrogative sentence?” question and ends with a question mark.”
“Exactly. I think you made an advance research (Jack Lloyd raises his hand)
about our lesson for today. Good job, Class. Okay, “Ma’am sentence number 3 is a command
who answered no. 3?” sentence”
“A command sentence? Yes, it expresses the “Ma’am sentence no.4 is an exclamatory sentence
concept of command but it is not the term used to because it ends with an exclamation point.”
describe the sentence. We will find it out later.
Lastly, who answered no. 4?”
“Yes, you are right”
(Post the related visual aids on the board)
“Sentences are classified according to their uses.
They have four kinds or types. The first kind of
sentence is what we call the declarative sentence.”
“A declarative sentence tells something about a
person, place, thing, place or event. Take note it
usually ends with a period and also, it makes a
statement.”
For example:
1. My mother bakes Belgian waffles for (Read)
breakfast.
2. I want to grow old with you.
“Who could state a declarative sentence based from “I believe the children our future”
the song “The Greatest Love of All”.”
“Yes, that’s right. Is it clear, Class? Let’s proceed (Student reads what’s posted infront)
to the second type of sentence, the interrogative
sentence. What is an interrogative sentence? Please
read, Miss Real.”
“Yes, interrogative sentence asks questions. “Yes, Ma’am”
Usually they are Wh–questions or questions
answerable by Yes or No. It ends with a question
mark. Do you still remember it in your early years
in High School?”
For example: (Read)
1. Are you mad?
2. Is that a plushy toy or a real dog?
“Miss Diolola, please make one question out from “What should we show to our children?”
lines of the song.”
“Okay. The third type of sentence is the imperative
sentence. This issues a command or expresses a
request. Request uses the polite words; please and
kindly, while command is like giving an order.”
For example: (Read)
1. Kindly call Ms. Agustine. (Request)
2. Do your homework now. (Command)
“Give me an example of imperative sentence from “Teach the children well.”
the song”
“Yes, and what kind of imperative sentence is “Command, Ma’am”
that?”
“Very good! Make it a request” “Please teach the children well”
“Very good! Is it clear now?” “Yes, Ma’am”
“The last type of sentence is what we call the
exclamatory sentence. It expresses strong feelings
or emotions such as anger, sorrow, grief, surprise
or the like. It apparently ends with an exclamation
point.”
For example:
1. We are here at last! (Read)
(expresses joy)
2. Jeepers! You scared the life out of me!
(expresses surprise)
“Now it’s your turn to give me an example, Class” “Ouch, It hurts!”
“Very good! Any questions? Are these clear to “Yes, Ma’am”
you? So, these are the four types of sentences
according to their uses.”
Generalization
Declarative sentence tells something about
a person, place, thing, place or event. It
ends with a period.
Interrogative sentence asks questions. It
ends with a question mark.
