5. Review
What was our last topic?

Our last topic was all about the

informative speech.

What is an informative speech?

An informative speech is one that

intends to educate the audience on
a particular topic. ... The topics
covered in an informative speech
should help the audience to
understand a subject better and to
remember what they learned later.
The goal of this type of speech isn't
to sway the audience to the
speaker's point of view.

What are the important parts of an

informative speech?
Introduction, body, and conclusion.
B. Lesson Proper

“Corona Ball”, inspired from the traditional
game pass the ball. The ball will be
treated as a virus that would be passed (Each student will respond

also on a timer, will be answering the
main question.
“How do you feel towards quarantine?

The game will be given 15 minutes of

2. Unlocking of Difficulties

Now, let’s define the unfamiliar

words that you are going to
encounter in this lesson.

Stress- it is the emphasis given to a

certain syllable of a word, a phrase,
or a sentence. A change in stress
affects its meaning.

Pitch- relative highness or lower of

a tone or voice.

Juncture-it is atransitionor a period

of change between successive
speech sounds or between a
speech sound an silence. In
pronouncing the twin words with
identical sounds, you observe a
juncture or a pause or a silence
between the words to make them
clear.

following structure.

Paragraph 1- INTRODUCTION
State your main idea or the point that you
are trying to prove and give two
reasons for your taking this stand.
Paragraph 2 and 3- BODY
explain in detail the reasons you have
stated in your first paragraph. Develop a
paragraph for
each reason you have cited.
Paragraph 4- CONCLUSION
Sum up your position by restating your
main idea and finishing with a “call of
action.”

In delivering your speech, it is also

important for you
to learn the Correct Sounds Of English.
The English Language possesses a
measured flow that creates a harmonious
pattern of sounds and rhythm of the
English Language.
Furthermore, there are certain speech
features that can greatly help learners d
speakers of English to produce utterances
that flow steadily spontaneously, and
coherently. These features are:
1. Stress- it is the emphasis given to a
certain syllable of a word, a phrase, or a
sentence. A change in stress affects its
meaning.
Examples:
EXport (n) exPORT (v)
OBject (n) obJECT (v)
PREsent (n) preSENT (v)
PROject (n) proJECT (v)
Record (n) reCORD (v)
2.Pitch- relative highness or lower of a
toneor voice.
3. Juncture-it is atransitionor a period of
change between successive speech
sounds or between a speech sound an
silence. In pronouncing the twin words
with identical sounds, you observe a
juncture or a pause or a silence between
the words to make them clear.
Examples: (The students will individually
