you to think of as you go on reading the story.
How does being small affects you in achieving your goal?
2. Silent Reading Proper

Read the story “The Tiny Seed “on pages

103- 108 in Your Reading Network book.
Be sure to understand the story.

D. Summarizing the story

Did you understand the story? Yes Teacher!

Let me see if you really understood the story.

What is the title of the story? The title of the story
is “The Tiny seed “
What comes into your mind when you
hear the word tiny? Tiny means small.
As we discuss the story we will know why
did the author entitle the story as
“The Tiny Seed “.

Who is the author of the story? The author of the story

is Eric Carle.

Who are the characters in the story? The character of the

story are the tiny seed
and the other seeds.
Where did the story happen? The story happened in different
places such as near the sun, on
icy mountain, in the water, in
the desert and on the ground.

When did the story happen? The story happened in four

different seasons:during autumn,
summer, winter and spring.

What happened first in the story ? A strong wind blown the flower
seeds high in the air and carried
them across the land.

In what particular season is there when

there is a strong wind blowing? It is autumn when there is a
strong wind blowing.
How many seeds do you think are
there in the story? There are ten seeds in the story.

So let’s find out whether your answer

is correct.
How was the main character described
in the story? The main character described as
tiny and smaller than the others.
As the wind continued to blow one of
the seeds flew higher than the others,
what happened to this seed? The sun’s hot ray burned it
up!One seed was already burned.

How many seeds remained? There were nine seeds remained.

How about the tiny seed?

What happened to it during this time? The tiny seed sailed on with the
others.
That’s correct!
The tiny seed together with the other
flower seeds continued to sail with the
wind until they have reached a certain
place. What is this place? The place is a mountain.
How would you describe the mountain? The mountain has ice that
never melts and seeds
cannot grow on it.
What happened to one of the seeds that
landed on this place? One of the seeds that
landed on this place died
because of the ice.
Two seeds were lost.
The rest of the seeds flew
on but the tiny seed did
not go as fast as the
others.
What happened next as the rest of the
seeds flew over the ocean? One of the seeds fell into
the water. There were
seven seeds remained.
What happened next after one of the
seeds fell into the water? One of the seeds drifted
down onto the desert.

How would you describe the desert? The desert is hot and dry
and seed cannot grow there.

What happened to one the seeds that

drifted down in this place? One of the seeds that drifted
down in this place died
because of the hot temperature.

How would you describe the tiny seed

as it flew? The tiny seed flew very low but
the wind pushed it on with the
others.But after a long trip, the
wind finally stopped and the
seeds including the tiny seed
gently fell down on the ground.

But what happened to one of the seeds? One of the seeds was eaten by a
bird.

Was it the tiny seed that was eaten? No Teacher!

Very Good! That’s correct
It was not the tiny seed because the tiny
Seed.was too small for the bird to see.
There were five seeds remained.Then winter
came. After a long period of sailing
on the wind, the seeds have finally settled
down and they were covered by snow.

What happened to one of the seeds? One of the seeds was

eaten by a mouse for his
lunch who also lived on
that place.
Spring came and snow has melted.
The sun shone and rain fell. Therefore seeds
started to develop into plants but the tiny
seed hasn’t begun to grow yet.

However there was a big fat weed that took a

ll the sunlight and the rain.

What happened to one of the little plants? One of the little plants
died because the plant
cannot catch rain and get
sunlight because it was
covered by a big fat
weed.

There were three seeds remained.

After sometime, the tiny seed started to
grow into a plant. Because it was summer,
children were out to play.

What happened as they played? A boy accidentally broke

one of the growing plants.

There were two seeds remained.

The tiny seed grew fast but its neighboring
plant grew even faster and already had
flower.

What happened to the flower of the neighboring The flower of the

neighboring plant

One seed was left.
So, the only plant left was the tiny plant
from the tiny seed.
What happened to the tiny seed?
Who else visited the flower?
Autumn came again….
What happened to the giant flower?
E. DISCUSSION
Answer the following questions based on
the story that you have re
How can you describe the journey of the
tiny seed?
If you were a seed, would you prefer to
be tiny?
was picked by a boy
and gave it to his friend.
The tiny plant from the
tiny seed has grown very
tall and a flower has
grown on it. Many people
came to look at its giant
flower.
The birds, the bees, and the
butterflies also visited the
giant flower.
The giant flower bent as the
wind blew harder and lost
almost all of its petals until the
flower seed pod opened and
came the tiny little seed that
quickly sailed far away on the
wind.
The journey of the tiny seed
is adventurous one. The tiny
seed had gone several
challenges brought by
different seasons before it
got settled and grown as a
plant.
I would choose to be tiny
 because there is an
advantage of being small
like in the story the seed
was saved from the bird
and mouse because the
two animals haven’t seen
the tiny seed.

I choose to be big like mango

seed so that I would not be
carried by the wind. I
choose to be tiny so that I
can experience to sail on

If you were given a chance to change

the title of the story, what would it be
and why? If I were given a chance to
change the title of the
story I will change it into
“The journey of the seeds”
because the story is about
how the seeds travel in
different places.

F. Answering the motive Invention

Let’s answer now the question that I
have given.

How does being small affects you in

achieving your goal?
Being small doesn’t affect
me in achieving my goal
because the size or height
is not the basis if someone
can achieve something.
Even if one is small but he/
she has the will nothing
could stop him/ her from
achieving his/ her goal.
G. Generalization
