Classroom Management

Before we start our session, I want you to

pick up the pieces of paper under your chairs
and arrange you chair properly (Students will pick up the pieces of paper and
arrange their chairs)
Checking Attendance
Class monitor kindly submit the list of the
(Class monitor will give the list of all absent
names of today’s absentees.
students)
Collecting of Assignments
Do we have an assignment? Yes, Sir.

Okey, pass it to the front. (Students will pass their assignment)

B. Review

Before we proceed to our new lesson let us

first have an activity to recap what you
discussed at the last meeting.

I will give you a piece of paper some of it

contains the name of the patterns of paragraph
while others are the examples. Your task is to
find the person holding the paragraph that
matches their pattern.

Once you believe you find your match, you will

read the paragraph aloud and explain why it
fits the pattern.

Is the instruction clear? Yes, sir.

Alright! Let’s start.

 Narration (Tells a story or sequence of

events)
Last summer, my family and I went on a trip to
the mountains. We hiked for hours, enjoying
the fresh air and beautiful scenery. Suddenly,
dark clouds gathered, and heavy rain started
pouring. We ran for shelter under a large tree
and laughed as we got completely soaked. It
was an unforgettable adventure!
 Description (Creates a vivid picture using
sensory details)
The sunset painted the sky in shades of orange,
pink, and purple. The cool breeze carried the
scent of blooming flowers, and the waves
gently kissed the shore. The soft sand felt warm
under my feet as I watched the last rays of
sunlight disappear beyond the horizon.
 Definition (Explains the meaning of a term
or concept)
Photosynthesis is the process by which green
plants convert sunlight into energy. This occurs
in the leaves, where chlorophyll absorbs light
and transforms carbon dioxide and water into
glucose and oxygen. This process is essential
for plant growth and oxygen production.
 Exemplification (Provides examples to
support an idea)
Many people experience stress in their daily
lives. For example, students feel pressure to
perform well in school, while adults face
deadlines at work. Additionally, financial
problems, family responsibilities, and even
traffic jams can contribute to stress. These
examples show that stress is a common
challenge for everyone.
 Comparison & Contrast (Shows similarities
and differences)
Dogs and cats are both popular pets, but they
have key differences. Dogs are social animals
that need regular exercise and enjoy human
interaction. In contrast, cats are more
independent and require less attention. While
dogs are often trained for tasks like guarding
and assisting people, cats are usually kept for
companionship and pest control.
 Cause & Effect (Explains reasons and
consequences)
Excessive screen time can negatively impact
health. Staring at screens for long periods can
cause eye strain and headaches. Additionally, it
reduces physical activity, which can lead to
obesity. In the long run, too much screen
exposure may also affect sleep quality due to
blue light disrupting sleep patterns.
 Classification (Organizes ideas into
categories)
There are different types of learners in a
classroom. Visual learners understand
information best through images, charts, and
diagrams. Auditory learners prefer listening to
explanations and discussions. Kinesthetic
learners learn by doing hands-on activities.
Recognizing these learning styles helps
teachers create effective lessons for all
students.
 Process/Procedure (Gives step-by-step
instructions)
Making a fruit smoothie is simple. First, gather
your ingredients: fresh fruits, yogurt, and ice
cubes. Next, chop the fruits into small pieces
and place them in a blender. Then, add the
yogurt and ice cubes. Blend everything until
smooth, pour the smoothie into a glass, and
enjoy!

Okay! Settle down, it’s time to explain why you

think that your paragraph fits the pattern you
paired with.
(students will start explaining)
Job well done! You were able to determine the
structure of each paragraph, it indicates that
you really listen during the discussion and I’m
hoping that you will also do that during our
time, is that okay?
Yes, sir.

Do you have questions or clarification about

your topic last meeting?
None, sir.
C. Motivation

If you don’t have any questions let us have an

activity.

I will divide the class into 2 and I will give each

group a set of example paragraphs. Your task is
to classify each paragraph and paste it on the
board. The first group to finish will be our
winner. Are we clear?
Yes, sir.
Okay! Let’s begin.

📜 Narrative: Mia walked through the dark

alley, her heart pounding with fear.
Descriptive: The bright yellow sunflower
swayed gently in the wind, its petals like golden
rays.
📖 Expository: Gravity is the force that pulls
objects toward the center of the Earth.
Procedural: To make a cup of tea, boil water,
place a teabag in a cup, and pour the hot water
over it.
📅 Recount: Last summer, I visited my
grandmother. We baked cookies and watched
movies together.
Persuasive: Students should have longer lunch
breaks to help them relax and focus better in
class!

Alright! Great job, you can classify each

paragraph and identify each type of text they
belong.

Which text type was hardest to categorize?

Expository, because it sounds like Procedural!
How can identifying text types help us in real
life?
It helps us understand what we’re reading!
That’s right! Based on our activity, what do you
think our lesson is for today?

Very good! Our topic for today is all about It’s about different types of texts!
Different text types and here are the objectives
that we have for today’s session.

At the end of the discussion, the students

should be able to:
A. classify different text types;
B. identify stories or writings which
includes different text types; and
C. applies new knowledge through
making their own composition using the
different
types of text.

Are we clear about the learning objectives?

Yes, sir.
D. Activity

Alright! Now before we proceed with our new

lesson. Let us have another activity.

Match the Text Type!

Directions: I have here a trip of papers with
different text examples. Your task is to identify
what type of text they are and put it in their
corresponding category. So, are you ready?

Let’s begin then.

Text Types Example

Narrative Leo opened the old book and was
immediately transported to a
mysterious world full of dragons.
Descriptive The garden was bursting with
colorful roses, their sweet
fragrance filling the air.
Expository The Earth orbits the Sun in an
elliptical path, taking
approximately 365 days to
complete one revolution.
Persuasive You should join the school’s
environmental club to help save
the planet!
Procedural To make a paper airplane, fold the
paper in half, then fold the corners
to the center.
Recount Last summer, my family and I
went to the beach. The sun was
shining, and the waves were
perfect for swimming. We built
sandcastles, collected seashells,
and enjoyed a delicious picnic. It
was one of the best days of my
life, and I can't wait to go back
next year!
Good job, class! Do you find it hard to answer?
No, sir.
Alright! What differences did you notice
between the text examples? Some texts tell a story, some give facts, others
explain things, and some try to convince us.
Very good! How did you decide which text type
each example belonged to?
We looked at key features like storytelling, facts,
Great point! Since you already have the grasp step-by-step instructions, or persuasive language.
of all the ideas about our topic for today I think
they you are ready to dwell deeper into our
discussion.

E. Analysis
Let’s start with Narrative Text. Kindly read the
definition. Narrative – tells a story which can be fiction
(made-up story) or non-fiction (real events). Shorts
stories and other traditional tales are examples of
fiction, while biographies are examples of narrative
non-fiction.
Thank you. Who here loves storytelling?
We do, sir.
Good! Narrative texts are stories. They can be
real or imaginary. They have characters, a
setting, a plot, and a conflict.

Here is an example:
Friendship Detour
by Clarit, Tresh
Aga’s fun afternoon was replaced with sadness.
The moment he checked his timeline on Facebook,
Bobby was the topic. Aga was shocked that his
best friend, Bobby died. Five hours earlier, they ate
chicken barbecue and enjoyed the view of their
favorite beach resort. After that, they proceeded
to a nearby restaurant and ordered the best-selling
halo-halo. They saw other friends enjoying their
meals, too. Aga just decided to go home to rest for
the next day’s trip. They both got into their
motorbikes. That was the last time Aga saw him.

What do you notice about this text?

It sounds like a story!
Exactly! Narrative texts take us on a journey.
They use past tense and descriptive language
to bring the story to life.

Okay, let’s move on to the next type of text.

Kindly read everyone.
Explanation - explains a particular subject or topic
through ideas that support it. It is a kind of factual
text that explains how or why things are. It
elaborates on how or why something occurs or
Thank you. Take a look at this example: give information on how to do something.

Sleep is like food for your brain. Getting enough

sleep is important for your physical and mental
wellbeing. Sleep lets your mind recharge and
process information. It’s the only part of the day
that your body gets to rest and repair. Sleep can
also help you feel better, think more clearly, and
concentrate better. It gives you energy to
complete tasks and can make you more alert.
Without enough sleep you may have problems
What does this text do? Does it tell a story? with thinking, concentrating, memory, reaction
times and mood.
Correct! Explanatory texts answer why or how
questions using cause-and-effect relationships. No, sir. It explain the importance of having enough
sleep.
Next, we have expository text. Kindly read the
definition.

Expository – are also informational texts that

Thank you. This text provides facts and present factual data on a topic through
information without opinions. Here is an description, sequence, comparison and contrast,
example: cause and effect, and problem-solution.

There are several characteristics which distinguish

plants from animals. Green plants are able to
manufacture their own food from substances in
the environment. This process is known as
photosynthesis. In contrast, animals, including
man, get their food either directly from plants or
indirectly by eating animals which have eaten
plants. Plants are generally stationary. Animals, on
the other hand, can usually move about. In
external appearance, plants are usually green.
They grow in a branching fashion at their
extremities, and their growth continues
throughout their lives. Animals, however, are very
diverse in their external appearance. Their growth
pattern is not limited to their extremities. It is
evenly distributed and only occurs in a definite
time period. Therefore, the differences between
plants and animals is quite significant.

Now, who loves to cook or play games?

When you read a recipe or game instructions,

you are reading a procedural text! Kindly read We do, sir
the definition.

Procedural text - lists a sequence of actions or

steps needed to make or do something. Some
examples include recipes, science experiments,
assembly manuals, or instructions for playing
games. This should not be confused with
explanations on processes, because procedural
texts are more directive and imperative. They

how to do something. Let’s read this example:

📖 How to Bake a Cake:

✔️ Preheat the oven to 180°C.
✔️ Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
✔️ Pour the mixture into a baking pan.
What do you notice? ✔️Bake for 30 minutes.

Exactly! Procedural texts use imperative verbs It uses action words like "mix" and "bake"!
(command words) and are written in a clear
sequence.

Next, we have recount texts. This type of text

retells past experiences.

Recount - retells past events which may either be

There are two types: personal recounts (about personal or factual.
personal experiences) and factual recounts
(about real events).

The first one is the personal recount.

Personal recount - retells past events that the

writer was personally involved in. Diary entries and
Here is an example of personal recount: short personal memoirs are examples of personal
recounts

Memories Last a Lifetime

by Clarit, Tresh
My family used to visit my grandparents’ farm in
the province. I had all the first-time experiences
such as: riding on a carabao, climbing fruit trees,
swimming in the river and pounding pinipig rice. I
could not forget also how my mother cooked her
special bibingka or rice cake for us. I felt that life in
the farm was fun. It made me realize that
happiness cannot only be found at the city but also

Very good! It is a type of paragraph that retells Sir, this paragraph tells her own experience during

And the next type of recount is the Factual

Factual recount - retells events that also happened

in real life but may not be about the writer
Let’s take a look at this example: himself/herself. News reports and witness
statements are examples of factual recounting.

Footsteps in the Moon

by Clarit, Tresh
Riding in a spacecraft named Apollo 11, Neil
Armstrong and company were determined to
reach the moon. On July 20, 1969, they
successfully made it. “One giant leap for mankind!”
the historical line exclaimed by Neil Armstrong.
This has been a tough challenge to an astronaut’s
mission that brought success to his nation. Such

factual recount.

Lastly, let’s talk about persuasive text. Kindly

read the definition.

Persuasive text - intends to convince the

readers/listeners to believe, perform a certain
action or change mind. Examples of persuasive

or an advertisement that convinced you to buy debate speeches, arguments, and persuasive

That’s persuasive text! It tries to convince the

reader to believe something or take action. Yes, sir.
Here’s an example:

Treshella White Beauty Soap

Using “Treshella White Beauty Soap” truly gives an
amazing effect. It makes your skin look smooth and
silky white. It contains glutathione and Vitamin C.

rhetorical questions to persuade the reader.

And that is the different types of text.

Do you understand our topic?

Do you have any questions or clarification?

Yes, sir.
F. Abstraction
None, sir.
Now that we have explored the different types
of texts, let’s deepen our understanding by
answering these important questions.

To start, what do we mean by "text types"?

That’s correct! Text types refer to the different Text types are different kinds of writing with
ways information is structured and presented different purposes!
in writing. Each type has its own features,
language style, and purpose.

Can you give me an example of a text type and

Now, why do you think it’s important to

understand different text types?

So we can write correctly depending on our

storytelling format. Would it be clear?

That’s right! Understanding text types helps us:

✔ Read and analyze information effectively. No, sir.
✔ Choose the right format when writing.

dealing with?

Exactly!

Since there are no questions let us have an
activity. None, Sir.

G. Application
Welcome to the Text Type Mystery Box
Challenge with a twist! Today, we will not only
identify text types but also act them out!

I need 6 volunteers. A volunteer picks a

scenario from the Mystery Box. They read it
aloud and act it out for 10 seconds.

The class must guess the correct text type by

raising their hands. The student who guesses
correctly explains why it belongs to that text
type.

Are you ready?

Explanation - explains a particular subject or topic through ideas that support it. It is a
kind of factual text that explains how or why things are. It elaborates on how or why something
occurs or give information on how to do something.
Example:
Sleep is like food for your brain. Getting enough sleep is important for your physical and mental
wellbeing. Sleep lets your mind recharge and process information. It’s the only part of the day
that your body gets to rest and repair. Sleep can also help you feel better, think more clearly,
and concentrate better. It gives you energy to complete tasks and can make you more alert.
Without enough sleep you may have problems with thinking, concentrating, memory, reaction
times and mood

Expository – are also informational texts that present factual data on a topic through
description, sequence, comparison and contrast, cause and effect, and problem-solution.

Procedural text - lists a sequence of actions or steps needed to make or do

something. Some examples include recipes, science experiments, assembly manuals, or
instructions for playing games. This should not be confused with explanations on processes,
because procedural texts are more directive and imperative. They instruct readers on how to go
about processes.
Example:
📖 How to Bake a Cake:
✔️Preheat the oven to 180°C.
✔️Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
✔️Pour the mixture into a baking pan.
✔️Bake for 30 minutes.

Recount - retells past events which may either be personal or factual.

2 Types of Recount
Personal recount - retells past events that the writer was personally involved in.
Diary entries and short personal memoirs are examples of personal recounts
Example:
Memories Last a Lifetime

certain action or change mind. Examples of persuasive text types include advertisements,
editorials, debate speeches, arguments, and persuasive essays and speeches.

Last summer, my family
and I went on a trip to
the mountains. We
hiked for hours,
enjoying the fresh air
and beautiful scenery.
Suddenly, dark clouds
gathered, and heavy
rain started pouring. We
ran for shelter under a
large tree and laughed
as we got completely
soaked. It was an
unforgettable
adventure!
The sunset painted the
sky in shades of
orange, pink, and
purple. The cool
breeze carried the
scent of blooming
flowers, and the
waves gently kissed
the shore. The soft
sand felt warm under
my feet as I watched
the last rays of
sunlight disappear
beyond the horizon.
Photosynthesis is the
process by which
green plants convert
sunlight into energy.
This occurs in the
leaves, where
chlorophyll absorbs
light and transforms
carbon dioxide and
water into glucose and
oxygen. This process is
essential for plant
growth and oxygen
production.
Many people experience
stress in their daily lives.
For example, students
feel pressure to perform
well in school, while
adults face deadlines at
work. Additionally,
financial problems,
family responsibilities,
and even traffic jams
can contribute to stress.
These examples show
that stress is a common
challenge for everyone.
Dogs and cats are both
popular pets, but they
have key differences.
Dogs are social animals
that need regular
exercise and enjoy human
interaction. In contrast,
cats are more
independent and require
less attention. While dogs
are often trained for tasks
like guarding and
assisting people, cats are
usually kept for
companionship and pest
control.

Excessive screen time

can negatively impact
health. Staring at
screens for long periods
can cause eye strain
and headaches.
Additionally, it reduces
physical activity, which
can lead to obesity. In
the long run, too much
screen exposure may
also affect sleep quality
due to blue light
disrupting sleep
patterns.
There are different types
of learners in a
classroom. Visual learners
understand information
best through images,
charts, and diagrams.
Auditory learners prefer
listening to explanations
and discussions.
Kinesthetic learners learn
by doing hands-on
activities. Recognizing
these learning styles
helps teachers create
effective lessons for all
students.
Making a fruit
smoothie is simple.
First, gather your
ingredients: fresh
fruits, yogurt, and ice
cubes. Next, chop the
fruits into small pieces
and place them in a
blender. Then, add the
yogurt and ice cubes.
Blend everything until
smooth, pour the
smoothie into a glass,
and enjoy
