Now, that we have already identified the tittle, the

characters, and the setting. As a story, it is composed
of several parts, known as the beginning, the middle,
and the end.
Stories, teacher.
Based on the story that you have read earlier, where
do you think is the beginning, middle and end?

Let’s find out.

C. Presentation of the Lesson
Based on our activity, what do you think will be our
lesson for today?

Yes, Novah?

Wow! Novah is a very keen observer. That is

correct. Our lesson for today is all about simple
stories and how to write or make one.

D. Lesson Proper
Today, we are going to talk about simple stories and
how to write one.

In school and at home you have probably read and

listened to different stories, right? From these
stories, you may have learned different values and
life lessons. At the same time, it may enhance your
comprehension skills. Aside from reading and
listening to stories, you may also be asked to share
your experiences, retell your story or to make your
story.

Now, let’s find out what is a simple story. No, teacher!

A story is a text that narrates events. Stories may

either be fictional or non-fictional.

Do you have any idea what fictional stories are?

(The students are raising their hands)

Example of fictional stories are fairytales like

Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, I think teacher fictional stories are not
true.
Alice in the Wonderland and more.

Based on the examples that I have mentioned, what

do you think is the meaning of fictional stories.

Okay, Precious. (The students are reading the text being

projected on the screen.)

Very Good, Precious. You are correct fictional

stories are untrue or unreal because these stories are (The students are raising their hands.)
just based on our imagination or creative thinking.
If fictional stories teacher are stories
that are not true and based on our

stories.
Thank you, children.
How about non-fictional stories? Do you have any
idea?

Me, teacher!

Great Job! Jonnah is correct. Non-fictional stories

are those that are based on facts or what Jonnah have Story about our family vacation,

happened in real life.

Can you give me an example of non-fictional

stories? Anyone?

Yes, John Michael?

Very Good! This is an example of a non-fictional

story because it is based on John Michael’s
experience and it actually happens in real life.

Non-fictional stories can be a story of someone’s (The students are reading on what is
personal life, his or her life experiences and even
histories. projected on the screen.)

Also, a story has its basic parts or elements.

Let us identify the first element which is the tittle.

Children, kindly read what is a tittle.

Alright! Thank you, children. The tittle is the name Okay, teacher.
of the story. It is usually found on the cover page of
a book and it is written in bold letters.
Let us read a story and identify its tittle. (The students are raising their hands)

The tittle of the story is “The Wise

Owl”.
May I request Julienne to kindly read the story.
Thank you, Julienne.
The story is all about an observant owl.
What is the tittle of the story?
Yes, teacher!
Okay, Xian.
It is important be observant.

What is the story all about? Anyone?

Yes, Tyler?

Very Good! Did you learn something from the

story?

Now, what have you learned?

Yes, Angeline?

That is correct. It is important to be observant. We

need to talk less and listen more to become wiser
like the owl. Me, teacher!

The second element of a story is the setting. The story is entitled “The Dog at the
Well”.
The setting tells when and where the story happens.
Let us read a short story entitled “The Dog at the
Well” and identify its setting.

Where did the story take place?
Always listen, teacher.
I will call a student from the back. Okay, Kylan.
Where do you think the story take place or
happened?
Good Job, Kylan!

Now did you learn something from the story?

What have you learned? Character or characters, teacher.

Yes, Blake? Character or characters are the people

or animals in the story.
Great Job! Blake.

Children, it is important to always listen to what our

parents or elders have to say. We can question them,
but not defy them.

Everybody, kindly read the next element of a story.

Me, teacher!
Now, what is the next element?

How do you define character?

The tittle of the story is Lazy John.

Very Good! A character is someone in a story, either
a human, a fantastical or mythical creature. They In their yard, teacher.
could even be a talking animal. Characters create the
action, so they have a huge impact on the story.

Let us read another short story. Who would like to (The students are raising their hands.)

The character of the story is John.
Thank you, Andrea.

What is the tittle of the story?Yes, Jacinth?

story take place or happened? Yes, Euan? Don’t be lazy, teacher.

Euan is right. The story happened in John’s yard.

Who is the character in the story?

Yes, Emman?

Very Good, Emman. The character of the story is

John.

Did you learn something in the story?

Okay, Alexa Caryll what have you learned in the

story?

Alexa is right. Children do not be like John because

laziness or being lazy can get you nowhere. If you
want something, you need to work hard for it.

The last element of a story that we will tackle is the

plot.

What is a plot? Children, please read all together.

Thank you, children. A plot is the series of events Okay, teacher.

that happen in the story. It is divided into three parts:
beginning, middle, and end.

The beginning introduces the character/s and the

setting. The middle narrates what the characters do
and what happens to them. While the end tells how
the story ends. Usually, it also presents the lesson The tittle of the story is “The Fox and
learned by the characters (and the readers). The Grapes”.
Let us find out where is the plot in the story entitled
“The Fox and The Grapes”. In his neighbor’s garden.
May I request Rihanna to read the story.

Thank you, Rihanna.

The Fox, teacher.
Before identifying where is the plot in the story, let
us first identify the tittle, setting, and the character/s.

What is the tittle of the story? Yes, Von?
The beginning of the story teacher is

and went home hungry.

and fourth sentence.
Why is the second, third ,and fourth sentence the Yes, teacher because the last sentence

presents the lesson learned by the

How about the end? Yes, Isaac?

Thank you, Isaac. Vinci, is Isaac correct? Why do

you say so? Okay, Teacher.

Great Job, Vinci.

So, children you were able to learn the elements of a

story. In writing a simple story, you have to first
identify or think of its elements. Once you have
identified everything it will be easy for you to write
your own simple story.

Here are some example of short stories.

Everybody let us read the short story.

Our Mother
Our mother is named Mila. She loves to
cook delicious food for us. She always
makes sure that we are healthy and clean.
That is why we love her so much. On her
birthday, we will buy beautiful flowers for
her to make her feel happy. We are lucky to
have her.

Bantay
Rico has a dog. Its name is Bantay. Rico
loves Bantay so much. It guards the house
during night time. They love to play
together.

Helpful Child
This is Rica. She loves to do household
chores. She washes the dishes, cleans the
house and waters the plants.

Thank you, children. You all did a great job!
