today, let us first have our activity. This will form a circle)
will be called “Fix me, I’m broken.” Are
you ready? Ok, I will group you first into
three groups. (teachers identify the

C. Analysis
Teacher Student
- So, what have you observed or seen in -We have a seen a bridge Ma’am.
the pictures on the board.

- Very good! Now, what do you think is -the function of a bridge is to connect one place
the purpose/function of the bridge? to another place.

- Very good. A bridge is used to connect or

join one place to another place in order
for us to pass through or go to the places
that we want.

- Our lesson for today has something to

do with connecting or joining because
our lesson for today is about
COORDINATING CONJUNCTION.
D. ABSTRACTION
Teacher Student
Coordinating conjunctions connect
words, phrases, and clauses. The seven
coordinating conjunctions are:
F-for
A-an
N-nor
B- but
O-or
Y-yet
S-so

For - Explains reason or purpose (just like

“because”)
I go to the park every Sunday, for I love to watch
the ducks on the lake.

And - Adds one thing to another

I go to the park every Sunday to watch the ducks
on the lake and the soccer tournament.

NOR - is used for emphasis of the statement in

negative sentence. Used to present an
alternative negative idea to an already stated
negative idea
He is neither rich nor famous.

But- Shows contrast of idea between the first

clause and the second clause.
The soccer in the park is entertaining in the
winter, but it’s better in the heat of summer.

Or- Presents an alternative or a choice

We could go to the park or to the library.

Yet- Introduces a contrasting idea that follows

the preceding idea logically (similar to “but”)
I always take a book to read, yet I never seem to
turn a single page.

So - Indicates effect, result or consequence

I’ve started dating one of the soccer players, so
now I have an excuse to watch the game each
week.
