use and mechanics)
Objectives:

Preliminary Activity
1. Greetings
Good morning class! Good morning, Ma’am!

How are you today? We are good ma’am

That’s good to know!

2. Prayer
Before we start, may I ask Ville Kuanne to lead us in
a prayer.

3. Checking of Attendance
Now, let’s have the checking of attendance. (The monitor will report the attendance)
May I request to the monitor to report the
class attendance this meeting.
(if there is no class monitor, ask your (students response may vary)

Who’s absent today, class?

4. Review Ma’am, it was all about patterns ma’am. For

and many more.

Okay, very good! Now let’s proceed.

A. Motivation/Activity
Before we start our lesson, let us first have
an activity. I will group you into three groups.
Each one will be given a placard and a chalk to
write their answers. We will play the “Secret
Code” game. I will give instruction on how to
play the game. You need to unlock and interpret the
code. Each code letter corresponds to the letter that
comes before it in the English
Alphabet. You will use conversion table to
complete the task. For example, “12,15,22,5” is love.

Are you ready class?

Conversion Table
A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 E=5 F =6 G=7 Yes ma’am.
H=8 I =9 J = 10 K = 11 L = 12 M =

Will you read the words on the board class?

The words that you unlocked and interpreted has

something to do with our lesson for today. (The students will read the words)

D. Abstraction

Our topic for today class is all about

“PROPERTIES OF A WELL-WRITTEN
TEXT,” Evaluate a written text based on its
properties (organization, coherence and
cohesion, language use and mechanics)

Who can define a well-written text? A well-written text is characterized by a

well-structured discourse that is clearly
Correct! linked with correct use of grammar and
lexis.

Did you get, class? Yes ma’am.

(Students answer may vary)

In your own understanding or insight, what

is written text? WRITTEN TEXT - something written,
especially copied from one medium to
another, as a typewritten version of
dictation transcription. black and white,
written communication, written language -
communication by means of written
symbols (either printed or handwritten)
Very good, well said!

For the better understanding,

Will you read the other definition of written text,
class?
Okay class, thank you!

Now class, let’s move on to the evaluation

of written text based on its properties. What
are the four properties of written text? The four properties of written text are:
organization, coherence and cohesion,
language use, and mechanics.
Great!

First we have the first property of written

text.
1. ORGANIZATION
What is organization, class? Organization refers to the arrangement of
ideas in a text.
Very good!
You can easily follow good organization
when you create an outline of your ideas
before you start.

So, what is an outline, class? An outline is like the skeleton of the human
Great! body—the latter gives the body form while
An outline can be useful because it provides the former gives your writing basically the

ideas.
Next, we have the second property of written
text.
2. COHERENCE AND COHESION
What is coherence and cohesion, class? Coherence and cohesion refers to the
connection of ideas and connection
Great! between sentences and between paragraphs.

As you have read previously, a text is

connected discourse. This means that the ideas you will write on

cohesion, you need to use?

For instance, to provide coherence, you may Phrases that signals that you are addingmore

moreover), or referring to the previous

contrasting the previous statement (e.g.

For providing cohesion, you must organize? Certain vocabulary such as synonyms and

text.

3. APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE
USE
What is appropriate language use, class? Appropriate language use refers to the
acceptable style of language for a particular
form of text
Great!

For business correspondences, for instance,

the style must be concise and formal which
is why writers of such texts should not use
wordy phrases and must have a courteous
tone to it. For literary pieces, on the other
hand, the language and style may be less
formal and more creative.
Last, we have the fourth property of written
text.
4. PROPER MECHANICS
What is proper mechanics, class? Mechanics refers to the conventions of
writing which includes capitalization,
Great! punctuation, spelling, numerals,
abbreviations, acronyms, and contractions.

You may have experienced being confused

as to whether you have committed an error
in grammar or mechanics when you
accidentally put an apostrophe in the
possessive pronoun it’s or in the plural form
of a noun such as cat’s. These errors are not
errors in grammar since you have
demonstrated that you know the rules in
forming the possessive pronoun and plural.
Since you made a mistake in the use of
punctuation, you committed an error in
mechanics.

Good job! I’m very impress to all of you

class, you are all active. Did you now

text, class?
E. Application

Now, I will give you an activity to test your

understanding. What you are going to do is
to read the question and arrange the jumbled
words to get the correct answer, write your
answers before the number. Are you ready,

especially copied from one medium to
another, as a typewritten version of
dictation transcription. black and white,
written communication, written language -
communication by means of written
symbols (either printed or handwritten)
Very good!

What about the properties of written text? Coherence and Cohesion, Proper
Mechanics, Organization, and Appropriate
Correct! Language Use.

What are the differences of these

properties of written text? Organization refers to the arrangement of
ideas in a text.
Coherence and cohesion refers to the
connection of ideas and connection
between sentences and between paragraphs.
Appropriate language use refers to the
acceptable style of language for a particular
form of text.
Mechanics refers to the conventions of
writing which includes capitalization,
punctuation, spelling, numerals,
abbreviations, acronyms, and contractions
Very good!

G. Assessment

Evaluate the written text based in its properties

(organization, coherence and
cohesion, language use and
mechanics). Determine what property is used.

1. Jenny took the dogs with her.

2. A poor or negative result. (Instead of A
bad result.)
3. During the early twentieth century, in
addition to industrialization, urban
growth and technological development, Australia

5. This morning was crazy. My alarm clock
was set for PM instead of AM, so I woke
up really late. I change my clothes and
rode my bike as fast as I could. When I
arrived in school, I was shocked because
nobody’s around. When I checked my
calendar, I have noticed that today is
Holiday. I laugh at myself and rode back
home.
