GRADE LEVEL: Grade 7 – Nobility, Generosity, Modesty, and Humility
LESSON: Quarter 1—Lesson: Subject-Verb Agreement, Basic Parts of a Paragraph, and Common
Purposes for Writing
TYPE OF TASK: Product-Oriented Task
NAME OF TASK: Writing My Own Narrative Story
I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
General: The learners will be able to increase their understanding of the lesson by connecting
lessons discussed in the quarter, allowing the students to express and apply their understanding
by writing their own narrative stories.
Specific: The learners will apply their understanding of the writing purpose (to narrate), the
basic parts of a paragraph, and the proper construction of sentences applying all the rules for
subject-verb agreement by writing a narrative story.
II. TITLE: Writing My Own Narrative Story
III. DESCRIPTION OF THE TASK:
To accomplish the performance task, each student will write a narrative story. The
students need to observe the basic parts of a paragraph which are the topic sentence,
supporting details, and the closing sentence. The students also need to observe the
agreement of the subject and the verb in the sentences of their story.
The students need to think of their own topic/idea for their story. This will give the
students the opportunity to express and tell a story out of their creative minds whether it
is fictitious or real. Afterward, students will pass their output in a printed format (Font
type: Arial, Font size: 12, Margin: 1, Title: Center, and Justified).
Lastly, failure to comply within the said deadline will result in “no output”.
IV. LEARNING COMPETENCIES
Through successfully delivering the persuasive speech, the students will understand how
to:
Follow the instructions given.
Write a compelling narrative story.
Value the significance of the lessons by looking at how they are interrelated with
one another.
Illustrate coherence and cohesion in written activity with consistent focus, attend to
sentence structure (S-V Agreement), and correct and imaginative word choice.
Exhibit mastery of written composition by following the basic parts of writing a
paragraph.
V. ASSESSMENT PLAN
Assessment Tool: The teacher will use an analytic rubric to measure students’ performance
with the succeeding criteria given below as their guide in performing their own written
persuasive speech.

Common questions
Powered by AISentence structure and word choice are fundamental to the narrative story's evaluation. Excellent sentence construction should include correct subject-verb agreement, and the word choice should be rich and varied. A few errors in subject-verb agreement can result in a 'Good' rating, with clear but less varied word choice. A 'Fair' story contains many subject-verb agreement errors and has simple, basic word choice. A 'Low' rating indicates fragmented sentences with errors that obstruct meaning and vague word choice .
The narrative story assignment integrates previous quarter lessons by requiring students to apply their understanding of narrative writing purposes and paragraph construction, effectively synthesizing skills such as subject-verb agreement and coherent paragraph structuring. This integration is seen through the task’s goal for students to illustrate how writing components like topic sentences, supporting details, and closing sentences interact within a narrative, thus reinforcing interrelated writing skills and competencies developed in earlier lessons .
Mechanics in the narrative writing task are evaluated based on the number and severity of errors in grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling. An excellent story contains few, if any, errors that do not interfere with reader understanding. Some errors still not impeding understanding may merit a 'Good' rating. A 'Fair' story contains several errors that might interfere with understanding, and a 'Low' rating is given when serious errors obstruct comprehension .
The narrative story writing task requires students to create a narrative story that includes observing the basic parts of a paragraph, such as the topic sentence, supporting details, and the closing sentence. Additionally, students need to ensure proper subject-verb agreement in their sentences. The task is designed to allow students to express themselves creatively, whether through fictitious or real stories, and it must be submitted in printed format with specific formatting requirements including Arial font, size 12, and justified alignment. Failure to submit within the deadline results in 'no output' .
Understanding subject-verb agreement is crucial in ensuring grammatical correctness in writing, which is emphasized in the narrative story writing task. This knowledge aids in maintaining sentence coherence and clarity, thus enhancing the overall quality of the writing. The task reinforces this concept by requiring students to demonstrate correct subject-verb agreement throughout their narratives, which is a key component of the sentence structure criteria in the analytic rubric used for assessment .
The assessment criteria used for organization and focus evaluation include addressing all parts of the writing task, maintaining a consistent point of view, focus, and organizational structure, and effectively using transitions. These criteria are important because they ensure that the narrative is coherent and logically structured, allowing readers to easily follow the central idea and supporting details throughout the story. A clear organizational framework enhances the story’s communication effectiveness, contributing to the assignment objective of demonstrating writing mastery .
A student might receive a 'Low' rating in sentence structure and word choice if their writing includes multiple errors that lead to fragmented sentences and vague word choices which obstruct meaning. This rating implies that the student struggles with foundational language mechanics, which can hinder their ability to effectively communicate ideas in writing. These challenges highlight areas for focused instruction, providing teachers with insights on where students may need additional practice and support to improve their writing skills .
The analytic rubric evaluates a student's narrative story based on the development of the plot and characters. For an 'Excellent' rating, the story must provide a thoroughly developed plot line, including major and minor characters and a definite setting, and must use strategies like dialogue, suspense, and narrative action effectively. A 'Good' rating involves an adequately developed plot with similar strategies. A 'Fair' rating indicates minimal plot development, with characters and a setting included but strategies used with minimal effectiveness. A 'Low' rating reflects a lack of plot development and failure to use the strategies .
Focus and organizational structure are crucial as they help maintain a consistent point of view and effectively use transitions, leading to a clearly presented central idea with relevant facts and details. The rubric rates 'Excellent' stories for clear addressing of all writing task parts with a consistent organizational structure. A 'Good' story may have a mostly consistent structure. A 'Fair' story may show inconsistency in these areas, and a 'Low' rating indicates a lack of focus and organizational structure, lacking transitions and failing to unify important ideas .
The narrative story writing task facilitates student creativity by allowing students to choose their own topics, whether fictitious or real, for their stories. This open-ended choice encourages students to draw on their imaginations and personal experiences to craft unique and engaging narratives. Despite the requirement to follow the basic parts of a paragraph and subject-verb agreement rules, the task's allowance for topic variation fosters creativity within structured guidelines .
