STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

I’m glad to announce that there are no absences today.

Ma’am, last time, we had an introduction of adjectives. We learned how to identify them in a sentence. None, ma’am.

about our topic last time. What did you learn last time? Are there any questions or clarifications regarding that? If none, then let us proceed to our lesson for today. C. MOTIVATION Before we proceed to our main lesson, I am going to give each one of you a picture of a famous painting. At the back of it, I want you to write 3 sentences describing the painting. Use adjectives. We can compare adjectives into paintings. Sentences are like the blank canvass and adjectives are like the colours that add beauty to the painting.

Painting #1: American Gothic by Grant Wood (1930)

Painting #2: Young Lady in a Boat by James Tissot (1870)

Painting #3: Kapistahan by Mike Blanko (2005)

Student 1: Nouns are the names of persons, places, things, animals, and ideas. D. DISCUSSION Now let us proceed with our lesson. Who remembers our lesson in nouns? Who can tell me what nouns are? Very good. Now there are two kinds of nouns: the proper noun and the common noun. Who can tell me the difference?

Student 2: Common nouns are the general names of persons, places, and things. They begin with small letters. Proper nouns are the specific names of persons, places and things. They begin with capital letters. Student 3: Proper Nouns: President Noynoy Aquino, Metro Manila, Jolibee

Good job! Who can give me 3 examples of proper nouns and 3 examples of common nouns? Very good. Today, we are going to learn how to change proper and common nouns into adjectives. Let us begin with proper nouns. (Write on the board the following proper nouns)  Italy  Shakespeare  Rizal Italy is a proper noun because it is a specific name of a country. We can make it into an adjective by adding the suffix –ian and removing the last letter which is “y”. It becomes “Italian.” Shakespeare is also a proper noun because it is a specific name of a person? We can make it into an adjective the same way we did in “Italy.” Who can try to do it here on the board? Rizal is also a specific name of a person. We can make it into an adjective by only adding the suffix –ian. It becomes “Rizalian.” These are called proper adjectives. Who can guess why this is called proper adjectives?

Student 1: (Writes on the board) Shakespearian

Student 2: It is called proper adjectives because they begin with capital letters. Student 3: It is called proper adjectives because they came from a proper noun. Student 1: Italian food is my favorite.

That is correct. What else? That is also correct. Now, let’s try to use these in a sentence. Who wants to give me a sentence using the word “Italian”? Very good. Italian describes the noun “food.” Therefore we know that his/her favorite food comes from Italy. How about

Student 2: Shakespearian plays are often hard to understand.

“Shakespearian.” There are other examples of proper adjectives: E. GENERALIZATION F. APPLICATION IV.
