in creating a sentence."
"Thank you, Jazelle.”
“Now, what do you think is the function (One of the student will raise their

nevertheless, otherwise, and moreover?" hand.)

“Yes, Jerome? "The function of these words is to

connect ideas and they help readers
to integrate information between
sentences in a text.”

“That’s right. Thank you, Jerome.

C. Abstraction

“Our topic for today is Cohesive

Devices.”

“Can someone first define what is (One of the student will raise their
Cohesion?” hand.)

“Yes, Kimberley?” “Ma’am Cohesion refers to making a

sequence of sentences.”

“Yes, that’s right. It refers to the

sequence of a sentence.”

“Can someone share their idea on

“Yes, Roselyn?” “Ma’am I think Cohesive Devices is a

 way or a bridge to connect our ideas
to another word.”

“Let see if Roselyn is right.”

“Class, kindly read the meaning of “Cohesive Devices are called linking

show relationship between paragraphs
of a text or speech.”

“Do you think she is correct?” “Yes, Ma’am”

“Yes, she is correct.”

“Regarding to the activities that we had.

What Cohesive Devices is used, kindly
give me examples.” (One student will raise their hand.)

“Yes, Ar-jade?” “Ma’am the cohesive devices used are

However, Likewise, Afterward,
Meanwhile and many more.”

“Very good, Thank you, Ar-jade.”

“Let us now delve deeper as we learn

the examples and use of Cohesive
Devices.”

“The first is the Cohesive Devices in

‘adding’. Provide me examples of a word (One student will raise their hand.)
that we use to add between the text or
sentences.”
“Ma’am the words are and, as well as,
“Yes, Crizel?” in addition and furthermore.”

 “That’s good, Vince.”

“Now that you know the different types

of Cohesive Devices and on how you use
it in a sentence, let us have another
activity to see if you really grasped our
lesson.”

D. Application

Instructions:
1. The class will be divided into four
groups. Each group will be given a
paragraph.
2. After that they should identify the
cohesive devices that are being used
from the given paragraphs.
3. Each group should choose 1
representative to present in front their
answers. You will be given 5 minutes to
do the task.
Paragraph 1
(Many, Another) difference among the
world's seas and oceans is that the
salinity varies in different climate zones.
(At last, For example) the Baltic Sea in
Northern Europe is only one fourth as
saline as the red sea in the Middle East.
There are two reasons for this. (One,
First of all), in warm climate zones,
water evaporates rapidly: (Therefore,
Meanwhile) the concentration of salt is
greater. (Second, Next) the surrounding
land is dry, and consequently, does not
contribute much fresh water to dilute
the salty sea water. (Furthermore, 1. Another 2. For example 3. First of

Paragraph 3
The evolution of technology has
significantly transformed the way people
communicate and interact in modern
 society. From the invention of the
telephone to the rise of social media
platforms, each advancement has
shaped the way individuals connect with
one another. (Additionally,Furthermore),
the internet has revolutionized
communication by providing instant
access to information and facilitating
global connections. (On the other hand,
Consequently), individuals can now
communicate effortlessly across vast
distances, transcending geographical
boundaries. (And, Moreover), the
proliferation of smart phones has made
communication more convenient than
ever, allowing people to stay connected
on-the-go. (However,Additionally),
social media platforms serve as virtual
meeting places where individuals can
share experiences, ideas, and opinions in
real time. (Whereas, As a result),

Paragraph 4
Animals use various means to protect
themselves. Color is one that is widely
used as a protective device. For
instance, some birds display brightly
colored feathers (if, whenever) they are
threatened. These are designed to
frighten away the enemy. (Moreover, In
addition) to color, some animals emit a
peculiar smell for the same purpose.
(Below, Besides), form may be used to
conceal the animal. Some insects,
(additionally, For example), conceal
themselves by making themselves
resemble plants or flowers. In this way,
(as with, they) are hardly visible because
they can merge into their surroundings.
Other animals adopt regular patterns of

IV. Assessment

Instructions: The class will going to find the cohesive devices that have been used in
the poem "The Journey". Encircle all the cohesive devices that has been found.
The Journey
The road ahead is long and winding,
 But fear not, my dear, for we'll keep on finding
Ways to navigate through the twists and turns,
With each challenge faced, our courage burns.
Together we'll weather the storms and strife,
And emerge stronger, more alive.
For our love is the glue that binds us tight,
And with it, we can conquer any plight.

So let us press on, hand in hand,

Through valleys low and mountains grand,
For though the journey may be tough, Our bond is stronger, and that's enough

V. Assignment
Instructions: The class will going to write a speech informing other people about
the advantages and disadvantages of technology. You have to use the different cohesive
devices in your speech. Submit your assignment through a video with a minimum of 3
