Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
A. PRE-READING

a. Prayer
May I ask (Student name) to lead the prayer. Let’s all pray.
Our heavenly father we thank you for this
 new wonderful day. And as we go on through
our lesson for today, may you help us to focus
on what we are about to learn. Lord, keep us

meeting? Class secretary?

Thank you, I’m glad to hear that.

d. Motivation
Alright class, before we start our lesson let’s
have first a warm up.

I prepared here a question which has

something to do with our topic. If you want to
answer just raise your hand and if none I will
choose someone.

What is reading?
The activity or skill of understanding written
words

Then why is reading important?

Reading is beneficial since it improves our
memory and expands our knowledge.

Thank you, that’s correct. Reading is

important not only in school but also in our
real experiences.

B. WHILE-READING

a. Presentation
Alright now, let’s activate your background
knowledge as we preview our topic for today.
Base on the title presented on the screen, what For me ma’am, based on the given title, I
do you think the content of the article is all think the content of the article is about the
about? illegal miners being relocated to a safer place.

How about the author’s purpose for writing?

I think ma’am the purpose of the author when
he wrote that article is to inform the reader by
providing a factual report about the happening
in environment especially for the budget
allocate to settle the problem into mining.

Thank you for your insights, that’s a nice

predictions.

b. Discussion
Let’s proceed to our main discussion which is
reading closely to get the author’s purpose.

But first, why do we read? Anyone?

We read in order to get fresh knowledge and
Exactly, that’s right. learn something new.
Remember that the major reason we read is to
comprehend the content. .

Reading, according to Collins dictionary, is

the capacity to read as well as any substance
that can be read, such as written or printed
material.

It's important to note that reading is not the

same as uttering the words. To create sense,
it's a process that requires understanding and
word recognition.

Now, let’s define what is close reading?

Anyone? Close reading is a method of analyzing a book
that assists students in not just reading but
also comprehending and analyzing what they
Thank you, that’s right. are reading.
Close reading is when you ask your students
to read the book several times to have a better
understanding of it. Students must read and
reread the material in order to comprehend the
author's intent as well as evaluate and
interpret the meaning of the words.

Here are the three simple steps of close

reading. As you can see on the slide, I
provided a graphic organizer for you to easily
visualize the steps.

1.Understanding the gist of the text.

- Begin by asking students to spend a few
minutes reviewing and exploring the text to
become familiar with it. The first reading
follows and students are instructed to obtain
the gist of the topic.

2.Reading deeply
- Students are taught to read carefully and
examine the material for meaning and
contextual use of words and phrases within a
sentence or paragraph during the second
reading.

3.Finding evidences
- Students are given questions in the third
phase, and the answers are found inside the
text. Students should structure their responses
by citing evidence from the passage.

Moving forward, let’s read the news article of

Domingo to obtain information and to know
what has happened. Because later on you
need to identify the author’s purpose of
writing.

Let’s start, first row, please read the title and

first two paragraphs. London based-firmed extends P120M to
relocated illegal miners, settlers

By Leander C. Domingo
 November 26, 2021
‌
Over P120 million has been released to
around 700 illegal occupants who have been
relocated to a safer place from a Mines
and Geosciences Bureau (MGB)-declared
geohazard area in the gold deposit-rich upland
village of Runruno.

James Carmichael, FCF Minerals

Corp. country manager, said the company
continues in its efforts to complete the
removal of the remaining illegal miners and
settlers within the area covered by their
financial or technical assistance agreement
(FTAA) approved by the national government
under the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR).

How many illegal occupants who have been

relocated to a safer place? 700 illegal occupants, ma’am.

It operates the Runruno Gold-Molybdenum

project located some 285 kilometers north of
Manila in this province, an area which has
been known to be prospective in gold and
other precious metals since the early 1960s.

"In conjunction with relevant government

agencies, the company continues in its efforts
to complete the removal of the remaining
illegal miners, including their infrastructure
and dwellings, from those areas scheduled to
be mined as part of a mine plan particularly
stages three and four," Carmichael said.

He added that the illegal occupants have been

safely relocated and that they continue to
work diligently with local authorities to
complete their removal and resettlement from
stages three and four of the project sites.

"We extended over P120 million financial

assistance to cover more than 700 structures

illegal miners are part of mine plan?

Thank you, that’s correct. Carmichael, Ma’am

Moving forward, fourth and fifth row please
read the next five paragraphs.
He, however, noted that the company and the
Philippine government have a growing
concern near the project site because of the
presence of more than 100 shanties with
people living in them, also in an MGB-
declared geohazard area.

The company recently informed DENR

Regional Executive Director Gwendolyn
Bambalan of the renewed presence of at least
100 illegal settlers and shanties in Sitio
 Compound in Runruno.

"We are continually having talks with the

local government units and concerned
national agencies like the MGB under the
auspices of the DENR for their relocation and
safety," Carmichael said.

He added that he hopes that before any

natural calamity hits the province, particularly
this town, these illegal occupants will have
already been evacuated and moved from the
geohazard area within the project site to safer
ground.

In November last year, 10 illegal small-scale

miners and squatters died while two others
were injured in a landslide at the height of
Typhoon "Ulyssess" in Runruno village, a
highly susceptible landslide area based on the

the height of Typhoon "Ulyssess"?
Thank you, that’s correct.
Moving forward, sixth and seventh row please
read the remaining paragraphs. Two, Ma’am.

Meanwhile, FCF Minerals has praised the

government's move in relocating illegal
small-scale miners and squatters in Runruno
village.

"We are very much satisfied with the move of

government agencies in relocating villagers
from landslide-prone areas to safer grounds in
Runruno," Carmichael said.

He added that past operations of the DENR-

MGB, National Bureau of Investigation,
Philippine Army and Philippine National
Police in dismantling small-scale mining
 equipment and the process of their relocation
should be maintained to prevent the return of
illegal settlers in geohazard areas in the
village.

"We will continue to provide fair and just

compensation to the illegal small-scale miners
and squatters whose properties have to be
removed," Carmichael said.

He also recognized the assistance of the

religious sector in the conduct of dialogues
between the mine firm officials and the illegal
small-scale miners and squatters for their
relocation.

This town's local government has also

purchased a two-hectare land in Boliwao
village that will be transformed into a housing
and relocation site for poor and legitimate
illegal small-scale miners and squatters from
Runruno village.

The relocation project will be jointly

that every learner should master since it is
essential for language development. Reading
