III.Procedure
A. Learning Activities
Teacher's Activity Student's Activity

“Good Morning Class.” “Good Morning Sir!”

“Let us pray first.” (One student will lead the prayer)

(Checking of attendance) (Students raise their hands and say present as the
“Say present if your name is called.” teacher calls their names)

“So how's your morning?” “It feels great sir with the sun shines bright”

“Really? Why do some of you looks tired then? (Students agree)

Maybe we should take a warm-up to boost you
up”

(Warm Up)
Motivation

“Thank you for cooperating. At this point, I have

pictures here. Let’s see if you could identify
what’s on the pictures.”

(Shows first picture) “It’s a question mark.”

“That’s right. How about this one?

(Shows second picture) “It’s an exclamation point.”

B. Lesson Proper

“I’m glad that you could recognize all the pictures

I’ve showed you. Can someone tell me what are
those things?” (Calls a student’s name) “They’re punctuation marks, sir.”

“Exactly. Does anyone know where to use them?”

“In making sentences, sir”
“Fantastic.”

“So tell me your understanding about what a

sentence is.” “It has a subject and a predicate, sir.”

“Very good, how about another one?” “It has complete thought, sir.”
(Shows next presentation)

“Now class, just like what you've said awhile ago,

sentence is a group of words with a complete
thought. Moreover for it, sentences can be
categorized in two ways, by their function and by
their form. As for today, we will be discussing
about the types sentences according to function.”

Sentences according to function:

“Read the first type aloud.”

1. Declarative – shows a statement and ends with “1. Declarative – shows a statement and ends with
a period. a period.”
“Exactly. Declarative describes a fact and perhaps
the most commonly used sentence. Take for
example when you describe how you feel or even
stating a fact towards something. Could you
provide some examples. ” (Students give random declarative sentences)

“Fantastic. Now let’s proceed to the next one.

Kindly read.”
2. Imperative – either command or a request and “2. Imperative – either command or a request and
ends in a period as its terminal punctuation.” ends in a period as its terminal punctuation.”

“ An imperative sentence expresses a request or

gives a command or direction. It also and ends
with a period or exclamation mark. How do you
make requests though?” (Students will give random imperative sentences)

“Wow. With your answers, I guess this will make

the lesson easier. Can you read the third one?”
3. Interrogative – is a question and ends in a “3. Interrogative – is a question and ends in a
question mark. question mark.”

“Excellent. To make it comprehensible, an

interrogative sentence is simply a question. Do
you know how to ask questions?” “Yes sir.”

“Provide some examples then.” (Students will give random interrogative

sentences.)
 “Great job. As for the last one, kindly read.”

4. Exclamatory – sentence that shows full “4. Exclamatory – sentence that shows full
emotion, exclamation and ends in exclamation emotion, exclamation and ends in exclamation
mark. mark.

“Yes, it definitely shows strong emotion just like (Students will give random expressions.)
when you see a snake nearby. What would you
feel seeing a snake near you? What could be your
expression?”

“Perfect. I’m very pleased with how fast you

could cope up with the lesson. Now, let’s have a
short activity before going to your quiz.”

“I have pictures here and I want you to create the

different types of sentences according to
function.”

(Shows picture 1) (Students will provide 4 sentences based on the

first picture)

“Wonderful. Let’s see how you’ll do in this

second picture.”

(Shows picture 2) (Students will provide 4 sentences based on the

first picture)

“Excellent. How about this last picture?

(Students will provide 4 sentences based on the
(Shows picture 3) first picture)

Generalization:
“Now, class, let’s remember that sentences have
four functions. They can be declarative,
interrogative, imperative or exclamatory. Can you
again tell me the differences of the four?”

“And let us also remember the right punctuations

to use when forming a sentence.”
