Curriculum Guide p.73
Lesson Guides in Elementary English 5 pp. 102 - 104

C. Materials : picture

III. Procedure
A. Setting the stage
1. Study the picture. Tell something about it.
2. Unlocking Difficulties
Group 1: What are the following pastries/cakes made of?
cupcakes
pancakes
applesauce
strawberry
blueberry

Group 2: List down some ingredients in making cupcakes or

pancakes/applesauce, etc.

At the end of the lesson, the pupils will be able to infer the meaning of
unfamiliar words (compound, affixed) based on given context clues (synonyms - antonyms word
parts) and other strategies.

B. Explaining the students what to do

1. Ask a pupil to read a short paragraph presented before them.

One Sunday afternoon, Julian the baker is busy making cupcakes and
cooking pancakes. Celano, his helper is busy packing applesauce and
strawberry jam. They will bring these to Chinatown where anybody can buy
anytime.

2. Comprehension check up
Ask the pupils the questions that follow:
What is the name of the bakery? (Bambi’s Bakeshop)
Who is Julian? (the baker)
What is the work of a baker? (he bakes bread and pastries)
What does Celano pack? (applesauce and strawberry jam)
When did the story happen? (one Sunday afternoon)
 If you were a baker what bread would you prefer to bake?
(pupils will give varied answers)

C. Modeling for students

1. Look for the underlined words in our story. Write the two words found in each
word.
sunday = sun + day
afternoon = after + noon
cupcakes = cup + cakes
pancakes = pan + cakes
applesauce = apple + sauce
strawberry = straw + berry
Chinatown = China + town
anybody = any + body
anytime = any + time

These two different words that have been put together to form a new word is called a
compound word.

Can you draw out the meaning of a compound word? (try to combine the meaning of
short word)
cupcakes - cakes shapes like cups
pancakes - cake fried on a pan
applesauce - sauce made of apple
Chinatown - town of the Chinese
anybody - anyone
anytime - at any moment

Compound word – comes from two different words that have been put together to form
a new word with a different meaning.

2. Encourage pupils to give their own examples of compound words.

D. Guided practice
a. Write the compound word that mean the following:
_________ bell by the door (doorbell)
_________ ache or pain at the back of the body (backpain)
_________ cake fried on a pan (pancake)

2. air transportation

3. paper that tells the news
newscast newspaper
4. ground or place for playing

E. Independent practice

Give the meaning of the compound words in each sentence.

1. One lazy afternoon, Greggy the young dog was relaxing at the
entrance of his doghouse.
2. He was about to daydream when Dave, the Dalmatian came by to
invite him for some outdoor games.
3. Greggy accepted it and asked permission from his grandmother, she
said it was okay but reminded him not to stay outside after dark.
4. Dave first introduced his other playmates to Greggy, who gave each of
them a warm handshake.
5. Then, all of them began playing “tag” and raced each other downhill.
