A. MOTIVATION
Teacher's Activity
Student's Activity
Good morning, class!
Good morning, teacher!
Before we start, let’s arrange our chairs
please. Also, (Jane) can you lead the
prayer?
Student: Yes, teacher.
You can now have your seats.
In the name of our father, of the son and
the holy spirit.
Father God,
As we start this new day for new learning,
we ask for Your guidance.
Lead us all the way. May You let us see
through Your eyes, listen through Your
ears, and speak with Your Mouth.
Be with us as we explore the world.
Give us the heart to love and be kind to
one another. Please watch over all our
teachers, children, and families.
In Jesus’ name. Amen
Alright class, look around of you what do
you think makes things hold together?
It’s because of a tool that holds them
together.
What makes our papers stick together
and become a book? Yes, Jacob.
What about our poster here in the board,
what makes it stick to the board?
Student: It is the glue that sticks them
together.
Student: It is the sticky tape that sticks
them together.
B. ACTIVITY
Awesome. Now everyone, let us all know what is this tool that sticks sentences
together. But first you have to unravel the words hidden in this puzzle. Look for these
words in maze: transition, nor, but, no sooner, lest, unless, then, or, whether.
C. ANALYSIS
Alright, so what did you find in the puzzle?
What are those words? How does those
words connect with our lesson for today?
It’s because those words are what we call
as connectors or conjunctions.
What is a conjunction? Yes, Zach.
Very good, Zach.
Also, conjunctions or connectors have its
functions in the sentences. This is
especially if the conjunctions or connectors
will be used in a format text like
argumentative text.
Transition also serve the same purpose as
conjunctions, but on a larger scale. They
signal to the reader the relationship
between ideas in a paragraph or even
between paragraphs.
Zach: a conjunction or a connector is a
glue that holds words, phrases, and
clauses together.
Conjunctions improve the paper as a
whole by giving the writing coherence, or a
flow. A conjunctive adverb such as
“however” or “overall” joins two complete
sentences using either a semicolon or a
period. These words and phrases serve
different purposes: showing agreement,
opposition, causality, support or emphasis,
consequence and conclusion. They work
like a bridge from one of the writer’s points
to another.
But also, take note of this; the conjunctions
and conjunctive adverbs unite elements of
argument together. When the argument is
unified and cohesive, readers are more
likely to believe that the writer is saying.
Readers need a guide; without this guide,
they might get lost in the argument.
Readers struggling to follow a writer’s
thought progression become frustrated
and may even stop reading the paper.
When a writer takes the time to make the
argument more readable, this engenders
faith and goodwill in the readers. As
Aristotle pointed out, creating that
goodwill, what he called ethos, makes
people more open to persuasion.
The words you are thinking of do function
similar to coordinating conjunctions, but
they are classified as conjunctive adverbs.
Some examples of conjunctive adverbs
are however, moreover, namely,
nevertheless, meanwhile,
subsequently, and furthermore.
D. ABSTRACTION
Alright, why do you think conjunctions or
connectors are needed in order to make
an argumentative text? Yes, Princess.
Why do we use conjunctions to connect
Princess: In order for us to make a
cohesive idea and to make the transition of
our ideas to be arranged well especially
because we are supposed to make an
argument. It should be rational.
words, phrases and sentences? Yes,
Pedro.
Pedro: Because conjunctions or
connectors are what connects them
together and it is what helps the ideas also
connect to each other.
Good job, everyone!
