Before the Lesson/Pre-Lesson Proper
A. Activating Prior
Knowledge RIDDLE RIDDLE LET REVEAL!

Learners will play “Duck Race”. Whoever wins the race will have the chance to answer the riddle to win a STAR and reveal a part of the picture until it reveals itself.

1. I have a month, a day, and a year. What am I? (Date)

3. I’m a word of endearment, a sign of respect, and the start of many heartfelt messages. What am I? (Dear)
4. I’m the main part of something, but I’m not the head. What am I? (Body)

 How does it look like?
Why do you think someone gave you a letter?

B. Lesson
Purpose/Intention Say: Do you know that there are a lot of different kinds of letters that we can receive depending on what purpose or information it would like to convey.
Disclose the lesson objective.
The class will read aloud each objective.

During Lesson Proper

D. Reading the Key
Idea/Stem The class will watch the video about the existing and ongoing global environmental issues.

Ask:
1. What is the video all about?
Environment – from old French “environer” means to surround, encircle or enclose
- Formed by adding suffix -ment (around)
2. Do you know the Philippine agency or office that has a major concern about our environment? (DENR)
3. Does the idea or message of the video concern you, me, and all of us? How?

Say: Philippineshas a high dependence on single-use plastics like multilayer sachets and pouches has led the Philippines to
become a “sachet economy” that continues to worsen the alarming levels of marine plastic pollution in the region. By some
estimates, the Philippines consumes a staggering 163 million pieces of sachets every day.
https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/philippines
https://youtu.be/J3Df0-ZJ_WA
4. How many plastics do we consume then for a week?
5. Who do you think is the reason for these environmental issues?

E. Developing
Understanding of the Say: Since we are one of the reasons why we have environmental issues, we can also do something to, at first lessen the use of plastics and eventually stop using it. By simply writing a
Key Idea/Stem letter of request to some of the people concerned, organizations or private or government offices, we can make a difference in addressing these issues.

GROUP JOB!

The teacher divides the class into four (4). Each group will be given a set of meta cards containing the seven (7) parts of a letter of request as well as a tarpaper of the sample template.
They will have to identify each part of the letter.

polite.

G. Making Generalizations
and Abstractions LET’S WORK TOGETHER!

Let the learners identify the order of corresponding information for each part of a request letter. Each group will be tasked to present their work in different ways.
They will describe their work in :
Group 1 – 1 excellent WORD
Group 2 – 1 Dance Step
Group 3 – a short yell or cheer
Group 4 – a clap style
 Our community is committed to promoting environmental awareness and responsible waste management. We believe that a comprehensive seminar on proper waste segregation at home
will significantly contribute to achieving cleaner and healthier surroundings.
Therefore, we respectfully request your kind approval to conduct a seminar on this crucial topic. We envision a program that will educate residents of the different types of waste, proper
sorting techniques, and the importance of recycling and composting.

We are available to discuss the details of this proposal further at your convenience.
Thank you for considering our request.

Enclosed is the documentation about the need of our barangay to learn proper waste segregation.
