Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preliminary
“Good morning class! Please stand up

for our prayer." "Good morning ma'am"

"Who is absent for today class?" None teacher.

"Please arrange your chairs and pick

up some pieces of paper"

B. Motivation

“Do you always watch the news or listen to a

radio broadcast whenever there’s a typhoon?” “Yes ma’am!”
“What are the effects of typhoon?”

(Pupils will give various answers like; Typhoon

can destroy buildings and houses Typhoons can
also affect the natural environment, and cause
harm to trees and other vegetation, including
crops that communities may rely on for
sustenance or trade, or both.)

“Very well said! What are the things you need to

prepare in case there is a

typhoon?”
(Pupils will give various answers like;*In case
there is a typhoon we need to prepare our First
Aid kits, Extra batteries for flashlights and mobile
phones, Store food, Packed clothes in case of
evacuation and a clean and safe drinking water.)

“Very Good!”

“Before we proceed to our next topic

let me check first if you are familiarwith some

terms that I will post on the

board.”

(Teacher will post ‘Kph’)

(Pupil will raise his hand; “Kph stands

“Correct!” for Kilometers per hour.)
 (Teacher will post PAGASA)

(Pupil will raise his hand; “PAGASA

stands for Philippine Atmospheric,Geophysical

and Astronomical Service

Administration.”)

“Great, if that so, I assume that you’ve heard of

storm signals?” “Yes ma’am!”
“So what are the storm signals?”

“The storm signals are; signal number one, storm

signal number two, storm signal number three,
storm signal number four and storm signal
number five.”

“Very good! now I will show you pictures of

places affected by different typhoons, I want you
“Yes ma’am!”
to describe what you see on the picture and try
to guess the signal that was raised. Are you
ready?”

(teacher will show this picture)

(Pupil will raise hand and say;

“On the picture some trees were uprooted from

the ground also lots of leaves are scattered. It
looks like the wind during that time was really
strong but I’m guessing that the signal for that
place is Signal 1.”)

(Teacher will reveal if the guess of the pupil is

correct.)

“Great job! this place is in Isabela Cagayan. Their

place was affected with typhoon Lawin.”

(Teacher will show the second picture.)

(Pupil will raise his hand and say;

“On the picture there are banana tress uprooted

on the ground. I think it’s in signal 2.”)

“Correct! This picture shows the signal number 2

of typhoon Lando in a particular area in the
Philippines.”
(Teacher will show the next picture)

(Pupil will raise his hand and say;

“Based on the picture some light posts are down

and there are uprooted trees. I’m guessing that
it’s in signal 3.”)

“Great observation and you are correct! Now I

will show you another picture.”
(Pupil will raise his hand and say;

“Based on the picture there are a lot of damages

like even houses made of concrete are seriously
damaged. It’s in signal 4.”)

“Very good! this photo shows the damage that

was made by Typhoon Yolanda in Tacloban City.
(Pupils are listening)
It is the strongest typhoon that hit the
Philippines.”

“Great job!”

(Teacher will show the last picture.)

“The place looks very devastating, there are no

houses seen on the picture and all of the trees
are uprooted. I guess it’s in signal number five.”

“Correct! So far Philippines has not yet

(Pupils are listening)
experienced a typhoon signal number five.”

C. Presentation

“Storm signals warns us on how strong the
typhoon that will come in a specific place.”

“Why do we have storm signals?”

“It indicates that winds of 30-60 kph is expected

in that area and Irregular rains may be expected

“No damage to very light damage.”

“Very good! what would be the impact of the

“How about when signal number two is raised?

What does it indicate?”

“If signal number two is raised it indicates Winds

peeled off. “

“Winds of greater than 100 kph up to 185 kph

“Very good! what is the impact of the wind? may be expected in at least 18 hours.”

“Many coconut trees may be broken or

destroyed.
“Very well said! In an instance, Signal number
four is raised what does it indicate? Is it different Almost all banana plants may be downed and a
from the first three signals?” large number of trees may be uprooted.

Rice and corn crops may suffer heavy losses.

Majority of light material houses may be

unroofed or destroyed. There may be
considerable damage to structures of light to
medium construction.

There may be widespread disruption of electrical

power and communication services.

In general, moderate to heavy damage may be

experienced, particularly in the agricultural and
industrial sectors.”

“Excellent! What is it’s wind impact?” “In signal number four the typhoon has a very
strong winds of more than 185 kph may be
expected in at least 12 hours. It is different from
the first three typhoons because it has a stronger
wind impact.”

“Coconut plantations may suffer extensive

damage, many large trees may be uprooted,

most residential and institutional buildings of

mixed construction may be severely damaged,

electrical power distribution and communication

services may be severely disrupted and

damage to affected communities can be very

heavy.”

“Great explanation! As what I have said earlier

PAGASA has modified the storm signals and
added signal number five. When signal number
five is raise in an area what does it imply?”

“The signal number five implies that winds is

more than 220 kph and maybe expected in 12
“How does the wind impact?”
hours.”

“The wind impact is very heavy to widespread

damage. It can make a whole community
homeless because houses even made in stones
will be gravely destroyed.”

“That is correct!”

D. Practice
Match each typhoon signals with their
corresponding speed of the wind.

(Pupils will answer on a piece of paper)

Signal no. 1 60kph-100kph

Signal no. 2 30kph-60kph

Signal no. 3 185-220kph

Signal no. 4 more than 220kph

Signal no. 5 100-185kph

E. Application
Group 1 – News reporting about Storm warning
signal

Group 2 – Role playing on how you’re going to

prepare if there’s a typhoon.

“Class, we are going to perform a group activity.

So I will divide you into two groups, let’s start
counting from the left side. Start counting:
1,2……. Alright. each group should stay in their
assigned table. I will discuss to you what will be
your activity for today. Do you understand?”

“Group 1, you are going to perform a news

reporting based on our lesson about the storm
warning signals, you’re going to give us
information about the typhoon and give us
warnings if it is signal 1,2,3,4 or 5. Do you
understand?”

(Pupils will perform by group.)

“Group 2, you are going to make a scene on
preparing for the incoming typhoon. Show us the
right things to do on how to be prepared. Do you
understand?”

“I will give you five minutes to prepare. We are

going to start after five minutes”
 GROUP 1

News reporting

Good morning televiewers!

rubrics You’re watching News Tv!

Our news for today is all about the typhoon.

Tropical Storm Urduja slightly intensified before

dawn on Friday, December 15, as it moved
slowly off the eastern coast of Samar Island. In a
bulletin issued 5 am on Friday, state weather
bureau PAGASA said Urduja now has maximum
winds of 75 kilometers per hour (km/h) from the
previous 65 km/h and gustiness of up to 90
km/h. Due to Urduja's extremely slow
movement, its expected landfall has been
pushed back to either Saturday morning or

afternoon, December 16. Signal number 2

remains raised over Eastern Samar, Northern
Samar, Samar, Biliran Signal no. 1 meanwhile, is
still up in: Catanduanes, Camarines Sur, Albay,
Sorsogon, Romblon, Leyte, Southern Leyte,
Northern Iloilo, Aklan, and Dinagat Islands.
PAGASA warned that Urduja is bringing
moderate to heavy rain within its 500-kilometer
diameter. Residents of provinces in the tropical
storm's path must prepare. Always remember,
that the person who is prompt is definitely safe.
Again you’re watching News Tv. Thank you for
watching.

Group 2

Role – playing

Narrator: In the village of Hallen, there’s a family

who always watching News in the television. One
day, when Steven change the channel, he saw
the news about the storm that will hit their
village it was in signal no.4 the speed of the wind
is 230kph. He immediately called his father and
tell him.

Cymer: Daddy, Let’s watch the news on Tv

because I saw/heard that there will be a typhoon
coming in our place!

Daddy: Okay I’ll watch.

Narrator: After his dad watched the news, his

father called his wife and his two daughters.
Here’s what he told them.

Daddy: My wife, we should get ready for the

storm that will come soon in our place.

Wife: Yes, we should. Let’s pack our things that

we need to bring in case we need to evacuate.
Karla and Grace pack your important things in
case we will need for emergency.
 Neil and Shinichi: Yes, mommy!

Narrator: Neil and Shinichi have prepared

canned goods, flashlight, radio, batteries for
flashlight and radio, blanket, clothes and water,
and they put it on their bag packs. They already
have their emergency kit. After that, their dad
asks them.

Daddy: My daughters, are you ready?

Neil and Shinichi: Yes, dad!

Narrator: After 1 day, the family are still

together, and they are safe from the typhoon
and no casualty in their family. The end.

“We have five storm signals.”

F. Generalization
“The PAGASA has created the Storm Signal
System because our country is often visited by
typhoons and in order for us to be aware on
“How many Storm Signals do we have?”
what preparations we’re going to do. The Storm
Signal System will help us.”
“Very good. So based on our discussion we have
Five Storm Signals. Why do you think PAGASA
has created the Storm Signal System?”
“The PAGASA added signal number five in the
Storm Signal System to give warning on a
tropical cyclone winds of more than 220 kph that
are expected within 12 hours, it is also
considered as a super typhoon. It is to raise
public awareness so that they will take signal
warnings seriously.”
“Why did PAGASA added signal number five in
the Storm Signal System?”

“No because even if it is in signal 1, 2 or 3 we

should always remain vigilant specially when it
comes to the safety of our family members. Let
us not take typhoons lightly and act accordingly
to what PAGASA is telling because they are there
to guide us and inform us.”

“Does it indicate that some typhoons are serious

and some are not? Why?”
“In times of typhoons it is always important for
us to watch or listen on news and because of
technologies it is much easier for us to get
informed because we can access on weather
news, read articles about typhoons that are
 about to come and it help us to be more
prepared and avoid serious damages that a
typhoon may cause us.”
G. Valuing

“We are now living in a generation where it is

easy for us to access information. Relating with
our topic, how can technologies help us in times
of typhoons?”

“Very good! now on a piece of paper answer

this.”
