III. Procedure
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Review
Directions: Go over
the sentences carefully
and silently. Infer the
meaning of the italicized
compound word in each
statement by looking for
its synonym.

2. Motivation
Present the picture of different water
falls in Batangas City.
Ask the pupils if they’ve been into
these places.

3. Motive Question
Do you know that there is a city in Samar known as the “The City of Waterfalls”?
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Activity 1: Read the selection and take note of the highlighted words.
Tarangban Falls
by Joel V. Tapil
Calbayog City is known to be “The City of Waterfalls” in the island of Samar. Because
of its charming waterfalls, even the local excursionists love to visit the place over and
over again.
The majestic view of Tarangban Falls stood out among the falls. It is located in the
mountainous area of Brgy. Tinaplacan, Calbayog City. The breathtaking view of
Tarangban Falls can be found upon trekking over a steep hill for 45 minutes or an hour
depending on your fitness - and that will surely make you sweat. It is best to 5 trek when
the sun is out, since it is slippery during rainy season. Locals will assist you and lead you to
this place. It is one of a kind, as the water rushes down directly where you could actually
shower beneath it. Upon enjoying the panoramic view, you will also be mesmerized by
the beauty of its landscape and love the natural massage from the cold and fresh
waterfalls. For adventure-seekers, hike to the top of Tarangban Falls and enjoy the circular
pond where you can go swimming and even diving
Activity 2: You may have noticed some underlined words in the selection. Do you know
what they mean? Which of the choices has the same meaning as the underlined word? In
your notebook, write only the letter which corresponds to your answer.

2. Discussion and Analysis

Your knowledge about words will get wider and deeper as you study more about
things. The words you have encountered in the previous activities include words that have
been formed by affixes.
An affix is added to the root of a word to change its meaning. An affix added to the
front of a word is known as a prefix, while the one added to the back is known as a suffix.
Sometimes, a word may have both a prefix and a suffix at the same time. It is also
common to see prefixes which are hyphenated. To illustrate, here are examples of affixes:

III. Procedure
A.Preparatory Activities
1. Review
What are affixes? Prefixes? Suffixes?
2. Motivation
Sing the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wel9tQmcIQc
B. Developmental Activities
1. Discussion and Analysis
Discuss the examples of affixes used in each sentence.

From time to time, you might see a hyphen placed between a prefix and a root word.
This is common when the prefix ends in the same letter as the root word begins.
Example:
If a world leader has an anti-immigration policy, you’ll generally want to place a hyphen

between the prefix and the base.

2. Exercises
Activity 2: Figure out the meaning of the underlined word to which an affix is
added. Use also other strategies such as context clues to further unlock its
meaning. Write only the letter which corresponds to the correct answer in your
notebook

What are context clues?

 Context clues are hints implied in the sentence/s where they appear.
 They help the reader understand unfamiliar words without the use of a
dictionary.
 To unlock the meaning of new and unfamiliar words, context clues may be
used.
 Context clues may be presented by means of word structures, synonyms,
antonyms, illustrations, or even examples

What are affixes? What is its kind?

 Affixes are word parts that are added to a base word to make a new
word. They carry their own special meanings and they can change the
meanings of the original words to which they are added.
 There are two types of affixes: prefixes and suffixes.
 Prefixes are affixes that are added at the beginning of the base or root
word, while suffixes are those that are added at the end of the base or root
word.
 A prefix and a suffix may be added to one base word at the same time.
