B. Lesson Proper Presentation Show illustration of the sea Motivation What do you see in the illustration? OK, Thank you. Ahm, another? Good answer! But what do you think of the taste of the water in the sea? Is it tasteless or is it salty? Very Good! But do you have an idea why is it salty? Dont worry because our lesson for today is all about the story which entitled Why is the Sea Salty? Discussion Read the story silently. Why is The Sea Salty? Long ago, the sea was not salty. People got salt from a mountain of salt in a far place across the sea. Do you know why the sea is salty now? Read the story. There lived a very strong giant named Ang-ngalo. He was very, very tall. When he went fishing in the sea, the water was only up his knees. When he walked along the mountains, the highest mountain stood no higher than his ankles. One day, the people in the village did not have salt anymore. The waves were very big and strong. They could not go out into Maam, the illustration shows the different species which lives in the sea. Ahm, Maam , The water is clean. Its salty, Maam

No, Maam, we dont have an idea.

the sea riding on their small boats. Then they remembered Ang-ngalo. Why dont we ask Ang-ngalo to put his leg across the ocean? Then we dont have to ride in our small boats, said an old man. Yes, indeed, agreed the others. Lets go and ask Ang-ngalo to help us. So the people went to see the giant. Allow us to cross the sea over your long legs, they said. Ang-ngalo was a kind giant and was willing to help the people. So he sat down and placed one of his legs across the sea. Cross over now my friends, he said. Please be careful not to move your leg while we are crossing, the men said to Ang-ngalo. So the men with their empty sacks crossed on Ang-ngalos leg to the other side of the sea. It happened that what Ang-ngalo threw his leg across the sea, his heel landed on a hill of red ants. When he saw some ants, he trembled with fear and became very pale. This time he closed his eyes and waited until the last man had reached the other shore. Then he placed his leg in the sea to get rid of the red ants. The men had their sacks filled with salt. Put back your leg now, Ang-galo. We are ready to go home! they shouted. Ang-ngalo remembered the red ants. He did not want to stretch out his leg anymore. Please, Ang-ngalo, pleaded the women. We need salt for our food. We need salt for the fish and the meat that we will dry. If we dont have salt, all our food will get spoiled. We cannot fetch our men in our small boats. We are afraid to cross the rough sea. Ang-ngalo felt ashamed when he heard these words. So he stretched his leg across the sea once again. Hurry, shouted Ang-ngalo to the men. The red ants might come and crawl

on my legs again. Yes, answered the men. But they talked and laughed as they walked along the giants leg. Hurry, Hurry! shouted Ang-ngalo again. The ants are crawling on my legs now. Such a big man and yet he is afraid of the ants, laughed the men. They walked slowly as before. Hurry! Hurry! shouted Ang-ngalo. The ants are biting me now. But the men did not listen to him. They walked slowly, telling Ang-ngalo not to mind the ants. Ang-ngalos legs were full of red ants. The ants bites were very painful. He bent his leg and dipped it into the water. The man fell into the sea with their bags of salt. Ang-ngalo helped the men out of the water and saved their lives. But the salt had dissolved in the water. That is why the sea is salty. Filipino Folk Tales So class, do you understand the story? Really? So I have a question to you class. In what paragraph shows the fantasy events in the story? Why do you say so? Very Good Class! Generalization : Your answers are all correct because a paragraph, sentence or event that could really happen in real life is called Reality.

Maam, in paragraph 2 to 22, (student will tell some details regarding his/her answer) Yes, Maam!
