by people. And for us to have a protection from the sun or from the
rain we should always bring our umbrella.

After Reading Activity
Ask some questions to check pupils’scomprehension.
Like; “How could the weather be a farmer’s best friend or worst
enemy?”

IV. Evaluation:
If the lesson is set face-to-face, divide the class into six
groups. Each group will be given guided questions so that each group
knows what information to listen for. As the teacher rereads the story,
pupils will take down note for the information they need. If its
modular, pupil will take down note to all the guided questions.

Group 1,Who is Dulnawan? Where does he live? What does he do?

Group 2, Why is weather important to Dulnawan? What happens
when there’s too much or too little rain?
Group 3, What does the father listen to? Why?
Group 4, Who are the characters in the story? What are their roles?
Group 5, What happens to crops when it’s too cold? What happens
when it’s too hot?
Group 6, What are the examples of extreme weather based from the
story?
After the second reading, Teacher asks the following.
 If divided into groups, each group tells their answer to their respective
guided questions. And if not, pupil will tell his/her answer to all the
questions.
Tell your answer to the following questions.
Group 1, Who is Dulnawan?
Group 2, Why is weather important to Dulnawan?
Group 3, What does the farmer listened to?
Group 4, Who are the members of Dulnawan’s family?
Group 5, What happens to crops when it’s too cold or too hot?

“Bounty in Our Hands”
Written by: Jonji Reyness-Santos
Dulnawan, a farmer in Ifugao, grows mostly rice and several other crops. He
grows rice for his family to eat. When the harvest is good, he is able to sell extra rice
at the market.
Weather is important to Dulnawan. Too much rain or a flood can drown his
crops. His seeds can even rot in the wet ground. Too little rain can make his plants dry
up and die.
Dulnawan listens observes the weather and listens to the weather report. He
worries about the temperature because it also affects his crops.
After supper, the family sits around their table. Dulnawan and his wife, Bugan,
listen to a radio program while the children, Aliguyon and Dinaluyan, do their
homework.
“Ama, why do we always listen to the radio?’ Dina asks.
Dulnawan explains that knowing the weather is important to farmers. “ In some
parts of the world, the temperature drops, making it so cold that crops freeze and die.
In other parts of he world, it gets so hot and so dry that crops burn and die. Here in
Ifugao, weather is usually fair and predictable. But these past years, the rains either
come too early or too late. Listening to weather forecasts helps me predict rainfall and
temperature.”
