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

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

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

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:
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.

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.

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.

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?

4. In which sentence does the word bound have the same meaning as the
sentence “ I was bounding over to something in the distance…”?
a. The sticks were bound in a bundle.
b. The rabbit will bound through the filled.
c. My book was bound at the printers.
d. There is a bound to be a change of plans.
5. Why does the main character NOT know if the trip really happened?
a. The main character was sitting in a desk when the video ended.
b. The metal disk was gone and the main character did not have
any proof.
c. The main character had difficulty remembering the order of events.
d. The solar system video is still being shown.
6. Which event happened first in the story?
a. The main character is hovering above the town.
b. The main character reads the word on the disk
c. The main character picks up a sparkling metal disk.
d. The main character is siting at a desk.
7. What would be another title for the story?
a. The Great Class Field Trip c. The Magic Metal Disk
b. The Living Moon d. The Solar System

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?
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.
