1. Write a short descriptive paragraph about a character or setting in
stories listened to/read.
Sub-task/Pre-requisite Competencies:
1. Identify or recognize adjectives describing persons and places
REMINDER: The learner may need the help or assistance of someone in the family (parent/guardian
or older siblings) who may read, explain, illustrate the instructions and explain the discussions in
each activity. If the instructions have been made clear, the learner should work independently on
the activities.
I. Let Us Connect
Yesterday, you learned about identifying the characters and setting
of a story. Today, you will read again the stories. But this time, you will identify
the words that describe the setting (place) and the characters and animals in the
story.
It is a sunny Sunday. Dad, Mom and their kids, Sam and
Jam, are in their small nipa hut. Their nipa hut is in the farm.
Dad has pets in the farm. He has cute dogs, small cats, fat pigs.
The dogs and cats are in big cages. The pigs are running in their
wide pen. They also have brown chickens that lay white eggs.
Young Sam and Jam help Mom get the fresh eggs. Mom boils
the eggs for their breakfast.
II. Let Us Know (with the help or assistance of an able parent, guardian or
sibling)
In the story you read, there are words that tell something or describe
about the day, people, places, animals and things. These words are called
ADJECTIVES. Adjectives are words that answer the question: What kind of? Let
us see some examples from the story.
What kind of Sunday is it? sunny Sunday
What kind of cages? big cages
What kind of chickens? brown chickens
Sunny describes Sunday. Big describes cages. Brown describes
chickens. Sunny, big and brown are examples of adjectives.

member)
