Maya’s Adventure

In a small barrio nestled among rice fields and coconut trees, there lived a
young girl named Maya. Maya loved spending her days exploring the lush
countryside and listening to the symphony of sounds that filled the air.
One sunny morning, Maya decided to venture into the nearby forest, known
for its mystical creatures and enchanting beauty. As she stepped onto the forest
path, her feet made a soft "squish-squish" sound on the damp earth.
As Maya walked deeper into the forest, she heard the melodious
"tweet-tweet" of birds perched on the branches above. Their songs echoed
through the trees, filling the air with a sweet melody. Maya couldn't help but
smile as she listened to their harmonious chorus.

11. Suddenly, she heard a loud "buzzzzz" coming from a nearby tree.
Maya's eyes widened with excitement as she spotted a group of
colorful butterflies fluttering their wings. Their vibrant colors and
delicate movements a her, and she couldn't resist reaching out to
touch one. But as she did, she heard a soft "flutter-flutter" as the
butterfly gracefully flew away.
Continuing her journey, Maya came across a small stream, its
waters gently flowing with a soothing "babble-babble" sound. She
knelt down and cupped her hands, scooping up some water to
quench her thirst. The cool liquid trickled down her throat, making a
refreshing "gulp-gulp" sound.

12. As Maya continued her exploration, she stumbled upon a
group of children playing a traditional Filipino game called
"patintero." The children's feet made a lively "tap-tap"
sound as they hopped and dodged, trying to cross each
other's paths. Maya joined in the fun, her own feet adding
to the rhythmic beat.
As the day wore on, the sun began to set, casting a
warm orange glow over the landscape. Maya heard the
distant "bark-bark" of dogs as they announced the arrival of
evening. It was a familiar sound that signaled the end of her
adventure.

13. Comprehension Questions:

Who loves to go for an adventure?
Where does she live?
Where did she go one sunny morning?

forest?

you experience?

16. Teaching Modelling

There are two types of texts: narrative and
informational.
A narrative text is a type of text that tells a story or
recounts a series of events. It typically includes
elements such as characters, setting, and plot. Narrative
texts can be found in various forms. The purpose of a
narrative text is to entertain, engage, or inform the
reader by presenting a sequence of events in a logical
and coherent manner.

17. A story grammar is a way to understand and analyze the
structure of a story. It helps us identify the important
elements and how they fit together to create a complete
narrative.

The elements of a story grammar are setting, character, and
plot.
The setting talks about the place and the time that the events
in the story happened.
The characters are the people or animals in the story.
The plot is made up of the events that happened in the story.
It consists of the beginning, the middle, and the ending.

18. Beginning- It gives the problem faced
by the main character.
Middle – It presents the actions made
by the characters to solve the problem.
Ending- it gives the solution to the
problem

that helps make writing more engaging and descriptive. It
is a word that imitates or suggests the sound it is
describing. For example, words like "buzz," "crash,"
"sizzle," and "meow" are all examples of onomatopoeia.

sound and the meaning.
