Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preliminary Activities

“I would like to request Princess to please lead the

prayer.” Princess leads the prayer
“Dear Loving Father…. Amen.”

“Good morning class!” Pupils: “Good morning Miss Derraco! Good morning
classmates!”

“You may now take your seats.” “Thank you, ma’am,”

“Leaders in each row, kindly check your members if

there’s anyone who is absent today.” (Leaders will list the names of absents and give it to
the teacher.)

“Did I give you an assignment?

Okay! Please pass your paper to the center aisle
1,2,3,4,5.” (Pupils will pass their assignment)

B. Review:

“Class, what was our topic yesterday?” Pupils answer in chorus:

“Our topic yesterday was about the effects of
typhoon.”

“What are the effects of typhoon, Jhon?”
Jhon: Typhoon can destroy buildings and houses.
Typhoons can also affect the natural environment,
and cause harm to trees and other vegetation,
including crops that communities may rely on for
sustenance or trade, or both.)

“Very well said!

What are the things you need to prepare in case

there is a typhoon, Matilda?” Matilda: In case there is a typhoon we need to
prepare our First Aid kits, Extra batteries for
flashlights and mobile phones, Store food, Packed
 clothes in case of evacuation and a clean and safe
drinking water.)

“Very Good!”

Unlocking of difficulties

Kph – Kilometers per hour

PAGASA- Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and
Astronomical Services Administration

“Before we proceed to our next topic let me check

first if you are familiar with some terms that I will
post on the board.”

(Teacher will post ‘Kph’)

Ana, what is Kph? Ana: “Kph stands for Kilometers per hour.)

“Correct!”

(Teacher will post PAGASA)

What do you mean by PAGASA, Kevin? Kevin: “PAGASA means Philippine Atmospheric,
Geophysical and Astronomical Service
Administration.”)
“Excellent!”

C. Motivation

“Class, do you watch the news or listen to a radio

broadcast whenever there’s a typhoon?” Pupils: “Yes ma’am!”

“Great!

If that so, I assume that you’ve heard of storm

signals?” Pupils: “Yes ma’am!”

“So, what are the storm signals, Marlon?” Marlon: “The storm signals are; signal number one,
storm signal number two, storm signal number
three, storm signal number four and storm signal
number five.”

“Very good!

Now, I will show you pictures of places affected by

different typhoons. I want you to describe what you
see on the picture and try to guess the signal that
was raised. Are you ready?” Pupils: “Yes, we are!”

(teacher will show a random photos)

What can you say about the picture, Maricel? Maricel: “I can see some trees were uprooted from
the ground also lots of leaves were scattered. It looks
 like the wind during that time was really strong and I
guess the area experienced signal no. 1.”)

“Great job!

This place is in Isabela Cagayan. Their place was

affected with typhoon Lawin.”

What have you seen in the picture, Christopher? Christopher: “There are banana tress uprooted from
the ground ma’am. I think it’s in signal 2.”)

“Correct!

This picture shows the signal number 2 of typhoon

Lando from a particular area in the Philippines.”

How about this picture, what have you observe,

Jen? Jen: “I can see some light posts are down and there
are uprooted trees ma’am. I guess the area
undergone a typhoon signal 3.”)

“Great observation and you are correct!

Now MJ, how will you describe this photo? MJ: “Based on the picture, there is a huge damage of
properties that even concrete houses fell down. I
guess it’s signal no. 4.”)

“Very good!

This photo shows the damage that was made by

Typhoon Yolanda in Tacloban City. It is the
strongest typhoon that hit the Philippines.”

How will you describe the last picture, Jay Mark? Jay Mark: “The place looks very devastated. There are
no houses seen on the picture and all of the trees are
uprooted. I guess it’s in signal number five, ma’am.”
 “Correct!

Have we experience this level of storm signal in our Pupils: No ma’am!

country, class?

D. Presentation

Based on the photos that we have seen, what do

you think is our lesson for this morning, Nikki? Nikki: Our lesson for today is all about the storm
warning signals.

Great idea!

Class, our lesson for today is all about Describing

the Effects of The Winds, Given A Certain Storm
Warning Signal.”

“Look at the chart posted on the board, try to (Pupils will analyze the chart.)
analyze the data presented.”

“Why do we have storm signals, Rey?” Rey: “Storm signals warns us on how strong the
typhoon that will come in a specific place.”

“Very good!

When PAGASA raised storm signal no. 1 in an area,

what does it indicate, Sherwin?” Sherwin: “It indicates that winds of 30-60 kph is
expected in that area and Irregular rains may be
expected in at least 36 hours.”
“Very good!

What would be the impact of the wind, Crystal?” Crystal: “No damage to very light damage.”

“How about when signal number two is raised?

What does it indicate, Charis?” Charis: “If signal number two is raised it indicates
Winds of greater than 60 kph and up to 100 kph
may be expected in at least 24 hours.”

“Correct!
What would be the impact of the wind, Ruby?”
“Very well said!
How about in signal number three? What does it
indicate, Flor?”
“Very good!
What is the impact of the wind, Steven?”
“Very well said!
In an instance, signal number four is raised what
does it indicate? How does it differ from the three
signals, Kent?
“Excellent!
What is its wind impact, Nice?”
“Great explanation!
As what I have said earlier PAGASA has modified
the storm signals and added signal number five.
When signal number five is raise in an area what
does it imply, Eunice?”
Very good!
“How does the wind impact, Fe?”
Ruby: “Light to moderate damage to the exposed
communities, it means Some coconut trees may tilt;
some of them may break, few big trees may be
uprooted, many banana plants may be downed and
old galvanized iron roofing may be peeled off. “
Flor: “Winds of greater than 100 kph up to 185 kph
may be expected in at least 18 hours.”
Steven: “Many coconut trees may be broken or
destroyed. Almost all banana plants may be
downed and a large number of trees may be
uprooted. Rice and corn crops may suffer heavy
losses. Majority of light material houses may be
unroofed or destroyed. There may be considerable
damage to structures of light to medium
construction. There may be widespread disruption
of electrical power and communication services.
In general, moderate to heavy damage may be
experienced, particularly in the agricultural and
industrial sectors.”
Kent: “In signal number four the typhoon has a very
strong winds of more than 185 kph may be
expected in at least 12 hours. It is different from the
first three typhoons because it has a stronger wind
impact.”
Nice: “Coconut plantations may suffer extensive
damage, many large trees may be uprooted,
most residential and institutional buildings of mixed
construction may be severely damaged,
electrical power distribution and communication
services may be severely disrupted and
damage to affected communities can be very
heavy.”
Eunice: “The signal number five implies that winds
is more than 220 kph and maybe expected in 12
hours.”
Fe: “The wind impact is very heavy to widespread
damage. It can make a whole community homeless
 because houses even made in stones will be gravely
destroyed.”

“That is correct!”
(Teacher’s additional input)
Signal no. 1 60kph-100kph
Signal no. 2 30kph-60kph
Signal no. 3 185-220kph
Signal no. 4 more than 220kph
Signal no. 5 100-185kph

E. Generalization

“How many storm signals do we have, Val?” Val: “We have five storm signals.”

“Very good.

So, based on our discussion we have Five Storm

Signals. Why do you think PAGASA has created the
Storm Signal System, Joy?”
Joy: “The PAGASA has created the Storm Signal
System because our country is often visited by
typhoons and in order for us to be aware on what
preparations we’re going to do. The Storm Signal
System will help us.”

“Why did PAGASA added signal number five in the

Storm Signal System, Adam?” Adam: “The PAGASA added signal number five in
the Storm Signal System to give warning on a
tropical cyclone winds of more than 220 kph that
are expected within 12 hours, it is also considered
as a super typhoon. It is to raise public awareness
so that they will take signal warnings seriously.”

“Does it indicate that some typhoons are serious

and some are not? Why?” Lyle: “No because even if it is in signal 1, 2 or 3 we
should always remain vigilant specially when it
comes to the safety of our family members. Let us
not take typhoons lightly and act accordingly to
what PAGASA is telling because they are there to
guide us and inform us.”

F. Application

The class will be divided into 2 groups and do the
following activity by group. Each group will be given
5 minutes preparation and 5 minutes presentation
of group performance.
“Group 1, you are going to perform a news
reporting based on our lesson about the storm
warning signals, you’re going to give us information
about the typhoon and give us warnings if it is
signal 1,2,3,4 or 5.
“Group 2, you are going to make a scene on
preparing for the incoming typhoon. Show us the
right things to do on how to be prepared.
(Pupils will perform by group.)
GROUP 1: News reporting
Good morning televiewers!
You’re watching News Tv!
Our news for today is all about the typhoon.
Tropical Storm Urduja slightly intensified before
dawn on Friday, December 15, as it moved slowly
off the eastern coast of Samar Island. In a bulletin
issued 5 am on Friday, state weather bureau
PAGASA said Urduja now has maximum winds of 75
kilometers per hour (km/h) from the previous 65
km/h and gustiness of up to 90 km/h. Due to
Urduja's extremely slow movement, its expected

for us to access information. Relating with our
topic, how can technologies help us in times of
typhoons, Kristen?”
“Very good!
landfall has been pushed back to either Saturday
morning or
afternoon, December 16. Signal number 2 remains
raised over Eastern Samar, Northern Samar, Samar,
Biliran Signal no. 1 meanwhile, is still up in:
Catanduanes, Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon,
Romblon, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Northern Iloilo,
Aklan, and Dinagat Islands. PAGASA warned that
Urduja is bringing moderate to heavy rain within its
500-kilometer diameter. Residents of provinces in
the tropical storm's path must prepare. Always
remember, that the person who is prompt is
definitely safe. Again you’re watching News Tv.
Thank you for watching.
Group 2: Role – playing
Narrator: In the village of Hallen, there’s a family
who always watching News in the television. One
day, when Steven change the channel, he saw the
news about the storm that will hit their village it was
in signal no.4 the speed of the wind is 230kph. He
immediately called his father and tell him.
Steven: Daddy, Let’s watch the news on Tv because I
saw/heard that there will be a typhoon coming in our
place!
Daddy: Okay I’ll watch.
Narrator: After his dad watched the news, his father
called his wife and his two daughters. Here’s what he
told them.
Daddy: My wife, we should get ready for the storm
that will come soon in our place.
Wife: Yes, we should. Let’s pack our things that we
need to bring in case we need to evacuate. Karla and
Grace pack your important things in case we will
need for emergency.
Karla and Grace: Yes, mommy!
Narrator: Karla and Grace have prepared canned
goods, flashlight, radio, batteries for flashlight and
radio, blanket, clothes and water, and they put it on
their bag packs. They already have their emergency
kit. After that, their dad asks them.
Daddy: My daughters, are you ready?
Karla and Grace: Yes, dad!
Narrator: After 1 day, the family are still together,
and they are safe from the typhoon and no casualty
in their family. The end.
Kristen: “In times of typhoons it is always important
for us to watch or listen on news and because of
technologies it is much easier for us to get informed
because we can access on weather news, read
articles about typhoons that are about to come and
it help us to be more prepared and avoid serious
damages that a typhoon may cause us.”
