I. LESSON PROPER
A. Activity
“Before we begin our lesson this
meeting, let’s have an activity
called Puzzle Picture. I will group
you into 4
Directions: I have here 4 sets of
pictures. Each group will arrange
puzzle pictures, paste on the sheet
provided and present them in front The pupils will go to their respective
by describing the given situation groups
with the use of the transitional
words.
For example I have here two sets of
picture; the first picture shows the
gardener watered the flowers daily,
and the second picture shows that
the flowers bloom beautifully. I have
here transition word ‘so' and to form
a sentence of these two events, I Yes Ma’am!
can create “The gardener watered
the flowers daily, so the flowers
bloom beautifully”. Understood
I will give you 10 minutes to do the
activity. Are you ready, class?
(The teacher will group the students

picture)

B. Analysis
Okay class, how did you feel
about the activity? Is it difficult or
easy?
From the activity that we had,
what sentence have you formed?
(Each group will read the sentences
they have formed.)
Group 1:
Due to the bad weather, the class
was suspended.
Group 2:
The plants grew healthy because
they received enough sunlight.
Group 3:
The boy and girl studied hard, so
they got a perfect score in exam
Group 4:
Okay, Very Good! Since she ate too much candy, she
What have you noticed? got a toothache.
We have noticed that the
pictures show cause and
What do you mean by effect, Ma’am!
causes? Effects? Causes are the reasons
something happens, and
Very Good! effects are the result of the
causes Ma’am!
What words were used to
connect or express cause-
Due to, because, so, and
effect relationship?
since, Ma’am
Okay, Very Good!
C. Abstraction
Our lesson for today is all
about Cause and Effect,
primarily focusing on using (Students attentively listen)
appropriate grammatical
signals or expressions suitable
to a pattern of idea
development.
In the activity that we made,
Group 1:
which events are the causes?
Cause: bad weather
Which one are the effects?
Effect: the class was suspended
Okay, they have formed the
sentence ‘’Due to the bad
weather, the class was
suspended.’’ The bad weather
is the cause or reason why the
class was suspended.
Therefore, the class being
suspended is the effect of the
cause. The connective due to
points out the cause why the
class was suspended
For the group 2, they have
formed the sentence. ‘The
Group 2:
plants grew healthy because
Cause: The plants received enough
they received enough sunlight.’’
sunlight.
The plants received enough
Effect: The plants grew healthy
sunlight is the cause why the
plants grew healthy. It has
grown healthy is the effect of
the enough sunlight being
received. The connective
because points out the cause
why the plants grew healthy.
For the group 3, they have
formed. ‘’The boy and girl
Group 3:
studied hard, so they got a
Cause: The boy and girl studied hard
perfect score in exam.’’ They
Effect: They got a perfect score in exam
studied hard is the cause, and
they got a perfect in score is the
effect. The connective so points
out the effect of studying hard.
For the last group, the group 4,
they have formed the sentence.
‘’Since she ate too much candy, Group 4:
she got a toothache.’’ She ate Cause: She ate too much candy.
too much candy is the cause, Effect: She got a toothache.
and she got a toothache is the
effect. The connective since
points out the cause why she
got toothache.
The words due to, because, so
and since are ones of those
connective or transition signals
to express cause-effect
relationship of ideas.
Again what do you call the
words like due to, because, so
and since?
They are the connective or transition
And class, for you to be able to
signals to express cause-effect
determine the cause and effect
relationship of ideas, Ma’am!
of an event, you must be
familiar with cause and effect
expressions to help you find
the connections, and that’s what
we call transition signals or
markers.
From the activity that we have
made earlier, the transition
signals are those due to,
because, so, and since. Now
what do you think is transition
These are the words that can be
signals?
used to connect events, Ma'am.
Excellent! Transition signals or
markers are words or phrases
that connect or link parts of
sentences or paragraphs in a
text
And the most common markers
or expressions for cause-effect
relation are:
1.Expression which signal
causes; Because, for, and
since
. Expression which signal
effects ; As a consequence,
hence, therefore,As a result,
consequently, thus, so
Can someone give for me an
example from the given
transition words for causes?
Very Good! How about the
transition words for effect?
Amazing! The streets were flooded because it
Seems like everyone really has rained heavily all night
understand our lesson this
meeting, and with that let’s give It was getting late, so we decided to
ourselves a Very Good clap! head home.
D. Application
To better understand the lesson, let’s
play a game. Do you know the game
Flash Card Quiz, class?
In this game, I will show you
sentences with a missing word. Your
task is to answer the given
questions. I will count from 1 to 10,
and you must raise your answer
before time runs out. Groups that fail
to raise their answer in time will not
receive points. Understood?
1_____ the refrigerator was
practically empty; we had to go to the
market. What is the grammatical
signal to be used in the sentence?
Yes, ma’am!
A. So b. Since c. Hence
2. James was not able to play
(students listen attentively)

b. Jack ripped his jeans
5. Due to bad weather, the

Why did it happen?
a. the international flight was
cancelled
b. bad weather
E. Generalization
Causes are the reasons
something happens, and effects
are the result of the causes. To
determine the cause and effect
of an event, you must be
familiar with cause and effect
expressions to help you find the
connections, and that’s what we
call transition signals or
markers.
V. Evaluation (5 minutes)
To determine if you really have learned something from our topic
Directions: On ½ crosswise, construct a sentence using the following causes and
effects and use an appropriate cohesive device for cause and effect relationship.
1. Accident – drag racing
2. Failed in the test- did not study
3. Eating junk foods- stomachache
4. Cutting trees- landslides
VI. Assignment
Directions: In a paragraph, write a cause and effect of the most prevalent issues that is
rising here in our country. Make sure to use the appropriate transition signals upon
constructing.
