Good Morning Class...
Let us pray first...
(Checking of Attendance)
...say present...
Please pick up the pieces of
paper under your chair
So how was your
weekend?
Thats good! Have you enjoyed
your weekend bonding with your
family?
Thats good to know. For this
morning, our discussion will be in
relation to a family. Are you
familiar with Barneys I Love You
Song?
Okay thats good, so are you
ready to sing and have fun today?

Students Activity
Good Morning Sir!
(One Student will lead the
Prayer)
(Students raise their hand and
say present as the teacher calls in
their name)
(Students pick up the pieces of
paper)
It was great sir!
Of course sir! It was a lot of
fun!
Yes sir! We love purple-colored
dinosaur!

Yes

Warm Up
Let us sing Barneys I Love You Song.
(Students Sing)
I love you, you love me and were a happy family,
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you,
Hope you say you love me too.
Okay now class, What can you say
about the song? Does it tell us
something important that we have
already forgotten to do nowadays?
How could you say so John?

That was a very good

explanation John, you know what class
the song simply tells us something that
we should always consider for us to keep
our family or relationship with others

Sir, eventhough the song is very short,

but I guess its full of emotions.
Because sir I noticed that the song has
a lot to do with our love for our family,
that the real meaning of family is all
about loving each other, and nowadays
kissing and hugging our parents or
family members are not being practiced
anymore.

intact, sometimes showing affection/love

towards a person makes him feel that he
is appreciated and there will be feeling
of belonginess and love.

Because sir, there are so many

descriptive words in the song, the most
obvious one is I LOVE YOU.

What else have you noticed

which made you conclude that the song
is all about love?
Everybody had just sung very well, its
now time to improve your pronunciation
more...

On her last birthday.

Discussion
Let us read a poem and let us find
out how the children showed their love
for their mother.
Who Loves Mother Best?
Oh happy birthday, Mama dear.
Sang Ben, Liz and Bess with cheer
We love you much, we love you
true.
They kissed their mother, hugged her
too.
Then quickly Ben skipped out to
play
And went with playmates all the day.
Then rushed home in time to see
His sister Liz aglow with glee.

For Liz held up an ice cream cone,

Enjoying it, she sat alone.
Ben grabbed the cone, and slipped
away,
So Liz cried out, For that youll
pay!
Like cats and dogs the two did
struggle
Each making sure to win the battle.
They tried to push and then to pull,
While Mama almost lost her cool.
But little Bess with Mom she stayed,
She set the table, drinks she laid.
And helped to serve Moms friends
and
guests
Now tell me, who loves Mother best?

Analysis
(Show picture of a girl eating an ice
cream)
What do you see on the picture?
What happened to Liz when she was
eating
a cone of ice cream?
Liz was aglow with glee, answers
what happens to Liz when she eats
a cone of ice cream. This is called
the effect.
Look again at the picture,
What do you notice on Lizs face?
Why was Liz aglow with glee?

Liz was happy (aglow with glee)

Because she was eating a cone of ice
cream.

Because she was eating a cone of

ice cream, answers why Liz was
aglow with glee. This is called the
cause.
And thats what we call the Cause-andeffect relationship.

Generalization
A cause and effect relationship
describes something that happens and
why it happens.
What happens is called the effect; and
why it happens is called the cause.
The cause is usually introduced by the
connective because.

Assignment
Identifying CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP.
Read the short fable. Underline the CAUSE and Encircle the EFFECT.
A fox said to a crow with a piece of cheese between its beak, If you can sing as
prettily as you sit, then you are the prettiest singer.
The fox thought that once the crow starts to sing, the cheese would drop from
her beak. But the crow carefully removed the cheese from the claws on one foot
and said, they say you are sly, but you cannot fool me. Not giving up, the fox
continued to praise the crow. I wish I could hear you tell about your talents but I
have to go look for food because Im hungry.
