II. Subject Matter
Topic: Simple Present Tense
Reference: DepEd MELCs, English Curriculum Guide
Materials: PowerPoint Presentation, TV, Worksheets, Flashcards
III. Procedures
A. Introduction (Preliminary Activities)
1. Drill (Warm-up Activity)
Show a few sentences with missing verbs on the TV/PowerPoint.
Ask students to fill in the blanks with the correct verb form.
o Example:
"She ____ (wake) up at 6 AM." → She wakes up at 6 AM.
"They ____ (play) basketball on weekends." → They play basketball
on weekends.
2. Review
Ask the class:
o “What is a verb?”
o “Can you give examples of verbs?”
3. Motivation (Game: "Act and Guess!")
Read a short story about Lily’s Daily Routine but do not emphasize the action words.
Call a student to act out one of Lily’s actions (e.g., eating, walking, reading).
The class guesses the verb and uses it in a sentence (e.g., "Lily eats breakfast.").
B. Presentation / Discussion
1. Introduce the Simple Present Tense
o Explain that the simple present tense is used for:
Habitual actions (e.g., "I wake up at 6 AM.")
General truths (e.g., "The sun rises in the east.")
Scheduled events (e.g., "The train leaves at 8 PM.")
2. Singular vs. Plural Subjects
o Add -s or -es for singular subjects (e.g., "He runs.")
o Use the base form for plural subjects (e.g., "They run.").
C. Learning Activities
Learning Activities (For 4 Groups)
Each group will have a unique activity that reinforces the simple present tense in a fun and
engaging way.
Group 1: "Sentence Builders"
Materials: Strips of words (cut-out)
Instructions:
o Each group gets word strips (subjects, verbs, and objects).
o They arrange the words to form correct sentences in the simple present tense.
o Example: (She / read / books every night.)
o The first group to create five correct sentences wins.
Group 2: "Verb Hunt"
Materials: A short paragraph with mixed verb tenses
Instructions:
o Students underline all the simple present tense verbs in the passage.
o Example: "Anna wakes up early. She eats breakfast and leaves for school."
o They write down the verbs and identify their subjects.
o The group with the most correctly identified verbs wins.
Group 3: "Act It Out!"
Materials: Verb flashcards
Instructions:
o Each team picks a flashcard with an action verb (e.g., "write," "jump,"
"dance").
o One member acts out the action while the rest of the group forms a simple
present tense sentence (e.g., "He writes a letter.").
o The group earns points for correctly using the verb in a sentence.
Group 4: "Daily Routine Relay"
Materials: Chart paper and markers
Instructions:
o Each group lists down five daily routine activities using the simple present
tense (e.g., "I brush my teeth every morning.").
o After writing, one member reads their sentences aloud.
o The fastest group with correctly written sentences wins.
