Simple Paragraph
Lesson
I
In your primary years, you may have struggled to put together
sentences to form one paragraph. This topic will show you how you would
be able to recognize and identify parts of a simple paragraph which may
eventually equip you with the knowledge to write one on your own. You
are expected to identify the the parts of a simple paragraph (topic sentence,
supporting sentence and conclusion/concluding sentence); and write your
own concluding paragraph from given topic and supporting details.

Read and examine the selection below.

Lucban is considered as the tourist capital of Quezon Province. It is

known for its grandest agricultural fiesta, the Pahiyas Festival,
celebrated every 15th of May. Kamay ni Hesus, a well-known religious
site, is located in this humble town. It is also famous for its delicacies
such as langonisa (as locals call it) and pancit habhab. As you may
not know it, Lucban is the hometown of Hermano Pule, a religious
leader who led one of the first uprisings against the Spaniards.

Learning Task 1: Identify the main idea portrayed in the paragraph above.
Write your answer in your notebook.

D
Learning Task 2: Read each pair of sentences. Write TS next to the
sentence that would make a good topic sentence and SD next to the
sentence that would make a good supporting detail. Write your answers in
your notebook.

______ 10. Going on picnics is a great way to spend time with your family.
______ It is fun to sit and talk to everyone while eating.
Learning Task 3: Choose the letter of the best answer. Write your
answers in your notebook.
1. It expresses the main idea of the paragraph.
A. supporting sentence C. topic sentence
B. concluding sentence D. indention
2. It tells about the summary of the paragraph.
A. supporting sentence C. extra sentences
B. concluding sentence D. topic sentence
3. It marks the end of the paragraph and often summarizes or raises the
key point of the paragraph.
A. indention C. supporting sentence
B. topic sentence D. conclusion sentence
4. This explains and gives details about the main idea.
A. concluding sentence C. sentences
B. supporting sentence D. main idea
5. This part is also called the “controlling idea” of the paragraph.
A. supporting sentence C. topic sentence
B. concluding sentence D. indention

Learning Task 4: Read the paragraph and study how sentences are put
together to come up with a simple paragraph.
Jing is an excellent pupil. She is smart and
enthusiastic. She always does her best in all scholastic
and co-curricular activities. She is also a class officer.
She is indeed one of the pride of her school.
The topic sentence tells the reader what the paragraph is about. It
also helps you keep your writing under control. This is why a topic
sentence is sometimes called the "controlling idea" of a paragraph. Below
you will find a sample topic sentence and a simple formula for writing good
topic sentences:

A topic sentence is the most important sentence of a paragraph. It is

sometimes referred to as “the focus sentence”. The topic sentence helps
organize the paragraph by summarizing the information in the paragraph.
In formal writing, the topic sentence is usually the first sentence in a
paragraph but doesn’t always have to be.

The body is the main part of the paragraph. This is where you tell the
reader about your topic by including specific details. All of the sentences in
the body must relate to the specific topic of the paragraph and help it come
alive for the reader. That is, all of the sentences in the body should contain
details that make the topic more interesting or help clarify the main idea.
These sentences should be organized in the best possible order.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON
7
 Supporting details are additional details
that support the topic sentence. These details
can be reasons, descriptions, examples,
explanations or comparisons. These clarify,
illustrate, or defend the topic sentence.

The closing or clincher sentence comes

after all the details have been included in the
body of the paragraph. The closing sentence
reminds the reader what the topic of the
paragraph is really all about, or what it means.
A paragraph that can stand alone usually has a final part called conclusion
or concluding sentence. It serves to close the paragraph so that the
readers know that they have finished reading the paragraph and
understand its subject matter.

E
Learning Task 5: Choose the best topic sentence for each item. Write
your answers in your notebook.
1. The bookstore near our school sells different cards for many

Learning Task 8: Copy and do the following in your notebook:
 Underline the topic sentence
 Box the supporting sentences.
 Circle the closing/concluding sentence.

1. There are many reasons why a cat makes a great pet. First, a cat is
always happy to see you when you get home. Second, they will love
you unconditionally, which is a really nice thing when you are having
a bad day. Cats don’t require regular grooming. They are easy to
take care of on a regular basis. All they need is to be loved, fed and
play with. They love to purr near hands and feet, they are easy to
train. They are great pets that the love and care you give them are
worth what they give you in return.

2. Not taking proper care of your teeth can lead to many unhealthy and
unappealing consequences. If you do not properly brush your teeth
and floss daily, bacteria builds up around the gum line and between
your teeth. This leads to decay or cavities. These bacteria can also
lead to gum disease. If you do not get proper attention to your teeth
and let the decay and gum disease continue, your teeth will
eventually rot and have to be removed. The rotting teeth and gum
disease will cause you to have bad breath, as well as unappealing
smile; and worse, dental bacteria leads to heart disease. Taking care
of your teeth is not only for you to have a beautiful smile but it is
important to your health.

When you read, and you come across a difficult word or an unknown
word, we usually ask someone to explain to us its meaning. In other cases,
we tend to consult various sources for us to determine its meaning.
Basically, there are three sources that we may use in finding the meaning
of an unknown or unfamiliar word. These include dictionaries, thesaurus
and other online sources.

Dictionary
A dictionary is a reference tool that provides an alphabetical listing of
words and their meanings. A dictionary can have many different features
that can give you a great deal of information about a word beyond just the
meaning. They are useful to find the proper spelling of a word and some
will show you how the word is phonetically pronounced. In many cases,
they provide you with a list of possible synonyms and antonyms which can
be a helpful reference when you are writing.

Thesaurus
A thesaurus is a tool that is found mostly on paperbacks, that lists
synonyms of words you are using in your own work. Often, it will also list
a variety of antonyms. They can be helpful references tools when you are
writing or creating sentences. They can be found arranged in a dictionary
style or concept driven arrangements. The dictionary style is the most
common form you can find.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON

Online Sources
Online sources are helpful tools and platforms in finding meaning of
an unknown or unfamiliar word. By just typing the word in the search tab
of a website or search engine, definitions, synonyms, antonyms and
sometimes word usage may appear. With the wide accessibility of internet
everywhere, searching has become more convenient nowadays.

Noting Significant Details
Lesson
I
This lesson highlights the identification of significant details in a
text. This involves the process of noting essential information that texts
provide. This process allows you to notice the events, characters and other
information highlighted by authors or writers. You are expected to
demonstrate understanding of the text elements to comprehend various
text types; and note significant details portrayed in the selections or
passages.
Read and examine the selection below.

Achoo
by Cynthia Sherwood

We all sneeze sometimes. Sneezing is a reflex that your body does

automatically. That means you cannot make yourself sneeze or stop one
once it has started. When you sneeze, your body is trying to get rid of bad
things in your nose, such as bacteria. You have extra germs when you have
a cold, so you sneeze a lot more. You might also sneeze when you smell
pepper! Inside your nose, there are hundreds of tiny hairs. These hairs filter
the air you breathe. Sometimes dust and pollen find their way through
these hairs and bother your nasal passages. The nerves in the lining of your
nose tell your brain that something is invading your body. Your brain,
lungs, nose, mouth, and the muscles of your upper body work together to
blow away the invaders with a sneeze. When you sneeze, germs from your
nose get blown into the air. Using a tissue or “sneezing into your sleeve”
captures most of these germs. It is very important to wash your hands after
you sneeze into them, especially during cold and flu season. Do you ever
sneeze when you walk into bright sunlight? About 25% of people experience
this phenomenon. Scientists believe that the brain gets confused when
signals from the optic nerve trigger the sneezing reflex in direct sunlight.
This usually runs in families. If someone nearby sneezes, remember to tell
them “Gesundheit!” That is a funny looking word which is pronounced “gezz
-oont-hite.” It is the German word that wishes someone good health after
sneezing.

Learning Task 1: Note details by answering the questions below. Write

your answers in your notebook.

1. Which parts of your body work together when you sneeze?

2. What does the German word gesundheit mean?
a. I wish you good health. b. I wish you God's blessings.
c. I wish you a good day. d. I wish you would stop sneezing.
3. Why do some people sneeze when they walk into bright sunlight?

Details are small pieces of information that support the main idea.
They tell something about people, events, things, time, objects,
circumstances, situations and manner. There are two types of details:
implicit and explicit.

1. Implicit details are used to describe or define a general state. These

are the details that we can’t really see. These are details that are
implied but not easily expressed.

2. Explicit details are the specific details that we can see and are
measurable. These details are stated clearly.

Noting Details

Noting details is a reading comprehension skill that involves picking

out, from a piece of text information to achieve a given purpose. These
details are the ones that good readers notice and authors use to emphasize
the events, characters and other details in texts.

Basic Types of Texts

1. Informational or factual text informs, instructs, or persuades reader

by giving facts and information. Its purpose is to describe a place or
thing using facts. It retells events which may have already happened in
time order. It classifies, describes, and gives factual information about
people, animals, things, or phenomena. It also gives instructions on
how to make or do something.

2. Literary text entertains or elicits an emotional response by using

language to create mental images. Literary texts purpose are to describe
people’s characters, places, events and things in an imaginative way.
It retells events from novels, plays, films and personal experiences to
entertain others.

Learning Task 4: Read this selection and note the details by answering
the questions below. Write your answers in your notebook.

Uwang and Salagubang

“Uwang” (Rhinoceros Beetle in English) is one

of the few beetles called by name in the Philippines.
Other beetles are referred to as “salagubang”, the
generic Tagalog word for beetle. Although we can
see various pictures of Rhinoceros Beetle online,
nothing can compare to seeing one up close and
personal.
From experience, I can tell you that if one gets on your clothing, it’s
really impossible to get it off easily. The variety found in the Philippines is
the Asiatic Rhinoceros Beetle. They may seem formidable and vicious, but
appearance can be deceiving.
They have sharp claws and those claws can only hurt you if you get
pinched by them. Other than that, they are practically harmless. They
also have horns and there is a difference in length depending on whether
it’s a male or female.
From what I understand, it’s the strongest insect in the world. I’m
not willing to test the assertion.

1. What are the names of the two types of beetles which are found in
the Philippines?
2. What variety of beetles do those two types come from?
3. How did the author describe the claws of “uwang” and
“salagubang” ?
4. Do you think you will be hurt once you see an “uwang” or
“salagubang”
5. What do you think is the purpose of the selection?

Learning Task 5: What do you usually imagine? Have you ever

Walking on the Moon

When I was in Grade 3, I got to take a trip to the moon. I remember

the day like it was yesterday. It was one of the strangest experiences I’d
ever had.
It all started when Miss Reyes, our Grade 3 Science teacher, was
showing a video about the different planets in the solar system. Halfway
through the video, I noticed a sparkling metal disc, about the size of a peso
PIVOT 4A CALABARZON

coin, lying on the floor. I kept trying to pay attention to the video, but found
myself bending over to pick up the shiny disk that was next to my desk.
As soon as I touched the metal disk, something strange happened.
I wasn’t in the classroom anymore. I was hovering in the air, way above
the school. I could see the whole or rather the rooftops of the whole city.
I was a little nervous, but also pretty excited. What was happening? How
could I be floating?
It was then when I remembered the metal disk I’d picked up from
the floor earlier. Did it I have something to do with the strange things that
were happening to me right now? I opened my palm and looked closely at
the disk. On the disk were these words:
“Floating through the air, like a helium filled balloon, your travels will
not stop, until you reach the moon”
The next thing I knew, I was soaring through space, dodging
satellites and asteroids. Oddly enough, I wasn’t cold and I was able to
breathe just fine. Before I knew it, I was standing on the moon. It was
amazing! It looked very different from the Earth. No trees, water, nor
houses. There wasn’t even any wind .
For each step I took I would bounce way up into the air. Every step
took left a huge footprint in the dust. I had to be careful and make sure
I didn’t jump into a crater because I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get
out. Sometimes I couldn’t even see the bottom. I was bounding over to
something in the distance that looked very out of the place. When I got
there, I realized it was a flag. On the flag were the words: “To go to Earth,
close your eyes and think of what you’ve learned. You will find in no time at
all, you will be returned”. I wasn’t sure I wanted to go back just yet, but
I knew it might get dark soon and I didn’t want to be on the moon by
myself in the dark. I decided to close my eyes and think of the weather and
other characteristics of the moon I’d learned that day.
When I opened my eyes I was sitting on my seat in my Science
classroom. Miss Reyes was turning on the lights because the video was
over. I sat there wondering about what just happened. I opened my hand to
look at the metal disk, but it was gone! Did I really take a trip to the moon
or was it just a dream?

Details are small pieces of information that support the main idea.
They can either be implicit and explicit. One of the important skills needed
in understanding details is known as noting details. Noting details is a
reading comprehension skill that involves picking out, from a piece of text
information to achieve a given purpose. Text information may be taken
from either informational/factual text and literary text.
Learning Task 6: Read and answer the questions below. Write your
answers in your notebook.
Why Does Ocean Have Waves?

The ocean is never still. Whether observing from the beach or a

boat, we expect to see waves on the horizon. Waves are created by energy
passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion. However,
water does not actually travel in waves. Waves transmit energy, not
water, across the ocean and if not obstructed by anything, they have the
potential to travel across an entire ocean basin.

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or

surface waves, created by the friction between wind and surface water. As
wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual
disturbance creates a wave crest. These types of waves are found globally
across the open ocean and along the coast.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON
20
 More potentially hazardous waves can be caused by severe weather,
like a hurricane. The strong winds and pressure from this type of severe
storm causes storm surge, a series of long waves that are created far from
shore in deep water and intensify as they move closer to land. Other
hazardous waves can be caused by underwater disturbances that displace
large amounts of water quickly such as earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic
eruptions. These very long waves are called tsunamis. Storm surge and
tsunamis are not the type of waves you imagine crashing down on the
shore. These waves roll upon the shore like a massive sea level rise and can
reach far distances inland.

The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on Earth also causes
waves. These waves are tides or, in other words, tidal waves. It is a
common misconception that a tidal wave is also a tsunami. The cause of
tsunamis are not related to tide information at all but can occur in any
tidal state.

1. What creates waves?

2. What could be an obstruction to waves?
3. Why do you think the wind is the most common cause of wave
creation?
4. What are some causes of hazardous waves?
5. What is another name for a very long wave ?

cat with big ears, blue eyes, beautiful paws and long white
and grey hair. She loves to sleep in the sofa while waiting
for Bugoy to come home after a long day of work. Bugoy
loves Lhola and she loves him, too.

Text-Types
Text-types refer to basic types of writing. They are categorized as to
factual and literary.

1. Factual text-types are used to inform, recount, instruct or persuade

readers. Examples of factual text-types include speeches, recounts,
historical documents, government reports, instructional/procedural
texts and persuasive texts.
2. Literary text-types are used to entertain using language formed and
structured in creative manner. Examples of literary text-types
include drama, narrative texts and poetry.

Purposes of Text-Types
Text-types have three (3) main purposes: to entertain, to inform or to
persuade.

1. To entertain means to provide leisure or enjoyment to readers.

2. To inform means to educate or instruct readers on particular details
or information.
3. To persuade means to ask readers to believe on a particular issue or
stand. This also allows one to do something caused by sound
argumentation.

Structures of Text-Types
Text-types are formed in structured ways. These structures are as
follows:

1. Description - describes a person, place, event, animal, etc.

2. Sequence/Instruction/Process - provides steps in performing an
action or order of event.
3. Cause-and-Effect - seeks to identify what happened and how or why
it happened.
4. Compare/Contrast - provides similar and/or dissimilar information
about two persons, places, event, animals, etc.
5. Problem/Solution - states the problem and the (possible) solution.

 Denotation – is the specific, exact and concrete meaning of a word.
This is the meaning you will find in a dictionary. The things with the
color blue like car, blueberries, bird, fish, and cap refers to the meaning
of the blue color. It is denotation, the usual meaning in the dictionary.
 Connotation - is an idea or quality that a word makes you think about
in addition to its meaning. It refers to the emotions associated with a
word. Sometimes it has social cultural implications. It can be positive or
negative. The feeling of being blue refers to the emotion of being sad like
the boy in the picture who is sad. It is connotation, the emotional/ con-
textual/ cultural meaning attached to a word.
