LESSON 1: UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT LDMs
ACTIVITY 1.
Do a quick check of your knowledge of the four modalities prescribed in the LCP—face to-face
(F2F) learning, DL, blended learning (BL), and homeschooling. In your own words, define each
modality. Write your own definitions in your Study Notebook. When you are done, check
Lesson 1, Activity 1 Answer Key 1 to see how well you did.
Face to-face (F2F) Learning – is an instructional method where course content and
learning materials are taught in person to a group of pupils. This allows for a live
interaction between a learner and a teacher. It is the most traditional type of learning
instruction.
Distance Learning (DL) - a method of study where teachers and students do not meet
in a classroom but use the internet, e-mail, mail, and others to have classes. This is
designed to be carried out remotely.
Blended Learning – is an approach to education that combines online educational
materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional placed – based
classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student with
some elements of student with some elements of student control over time, place,
path or pace.
Homeschooling – educate a child at home instead of sending them to a school. It is
learning outside of the public or private school environment.
Now, answer this question: Which of the LDMs do not have an F2F learning component? Write
down your answer in your Study Notebook, then check it against Lesson 1, Activity 1 Answer
Key 2.
Distance learning and homeschooling do not have an face to face learning component.

Note that when a vaccine is already available and F2F will be allowed by the Inter-Agency Task
Force (IATF) and by the local government unit (LGU) concerned, any of the DL modalities may
be combined with F2F learning to come up with a BL. Learn more about BL in the
Supplementary Handout on Blended Learning Delivery Modalities.
ACTIVITY 3.
Consider the situation in your School/Division—your organizational capabilities, your level of
resources (infrastructure, financial, human), level of experience in DL, health and safety
status, context and capacities of your learners and their households, etc.
Then rank the DL types—MDL, ODL, TVBI, RBI, and BL—from easiest to most difficult to
implement. Give the reasons for your ranking of each. Replicate the following table and
write your answers in your Study Notebook.
Be prepared to discuss your ranking at your next LAC Session.
Ranking
(1 to 5, from easiest to Type of DL Why?
hardest to implement)
1 MDL Module is readily available
2 BL It is combined with others so there
are lots of resources to be utilized
3 TV BI Almost all learners have television
Some still don’t have internet
4 ODL connectivity, if there is, connection is
not stable.
5 RBI Radio is obsolete.
ACTIVITY 4.
The LCP assures that all possible measures will be taken to ensure that no child will be
excluded from learning during the COVID-19 crisis. Think about groups of learners in your
School/Division who might require special consideration to be able to participate in DL.
Describe what targeted interventions you would develop to include them. Listed below are
some examples which may be relevant to your context. Add others as appropriate. Write
down your answers in your Study Notebook and share your ideas at your next LAC Session.
Read DO 42, s2016 on Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation. As you go through the
document, write down your answers to the following questions in your Study Notebook:
ACTIVITY 2.
The second component of a well-designed lesson asks teachers to select and sequence teaching
and learning activities that would help learners meet the learning objectives. These learning
tasks can be presented (1) before the lesson, (2) during the lesson proper, and (3) after the
lesson.
ACTIVITY 3.
Lesson design does not end after implementing the lesson. After the delivery of the lesson,
teachers should take time to reflect on what worked well and why, and what could have been
done differently. Identifying successful and less successful activities and strategies would make
it easier to adjust and revise the lesson plan as needed.
In your Study Notebook, copy the components of the Daily Lesson Log (DLL) or Detailed Lesson
Plan (DLP) listed below, then highlight which part/s is/are accomplished after the lesson is
delivered.
I. Objectives
II. Content
III. Learning Materials and Resources
IV. Procedures
V. Remarks
VI. Reflection
According to DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016: The reflection part of the DLL and DLP
should be filled up after the lesson is delivered.
The learning tasks listed in Activity 2 all form part of the Lesson Procedures of the DLL and DLP.
To find out the instructional principles behind these learning tasks, you may refer to the article
Principles of Instruction by Barak Rosenshine (https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/
periodicals/Rosenshine.pdf).
ACTIVITY 4.
Read the handout Designing Lessons in DL. In your Study Notebook, recreate and accomplish
the following table. Then choose one lesson from a Self-Learning Module (SLM) for students
that you have on hand. Imagine that you will deliver this lesson to your learners through DL. In
the second column, identify which of these tasks are already present in the SLM. In the third
column, identify which has to be presented via technology-mediated resources, supplementary
learning materials, or other means.

Be ready to share your answers for Activity 4 when you meet with your LAC group after
completing this module.
• You can check the MELCs for topics that may be integrated into other learning areas.
• You can team up to integrate lessons across learning areas. Integration of content
across learning areas maximizes time and helps learners make connections for better
understanding.
• You can use content topics as themes, motivation, springboards, or initial topics for
lessons across subjects. You can also try merging selected learning area performance
tasks and assessments and create separate rubrics for scoring per learning area. This
can make it easier for you to check student work, and saves time for you and the
learners.
Can you think of other ways of designing and implementing lessons that can enhance student
learning and maximize teacher preparation time? Don’t forget to check back with your Coach
and share them with your peers.
ACTIVITY 5.
Assessment is always a part of designing instruction. Read the DO 8, s2015 on Policy
Guidelines on Classroom Assessment to learn about assessment.
In the policy, you will find out about the two types of assessment: formative and
summative. Take note of the similarities and differences between the two. Write your
answers in a Venn diagram in your Study Notebook.
After completing the Venn diagram, look at Lesson 2, Activity 5 Answer Key to see
the other similarities and difference between the two types of assessments.
ACTIVITY 6.
There are various methods of assessment. Read Table 2 of DO 8, s2015 on Policy Guidelines on
Classroom Assessment to see examples such as games, quizzes, and interviews. These methods
that are commonly used in the classroom may be modified to be suitable for DL.
Which assessment methods can you adapt in DL considering the content area that you are
teaching? In your study notebook, recreate the following table and list five methods that you
would like to try. For each one, write how you plan to use it in DL.
Sample learning outputs obtained from different assessment methods may be collected to build
a learner’s portfolio. Read Guidelines on the Preparation of Portfolio and e-Portfolio to find out
how to construct and use it.
After reading the references, answer the following quiz to check your understanding about
using a portfolio to assess the learner.
1. A portfolio mainly displays the academic achievements of the learner.
2. Testimonies of parents/guardians and learning facilitators regarding
the learner’s progress may be included in a portfolio.
3. There is a fixed list of items that should be included in a portfolio.
6. The learners may submit, store, and manage their portfolio via file
sharing programs or they may submit the actual softcopies of their work
saved on a CD/DVD/USB flash drive.
Check out the Lesson 2, Activity 7 Answer Key to see how well you did.
Learners are different and have different abilities. For some topics, you can give students some
options or alternatives on how they will be assessed. Just make sure that these would show
how much they have learned.
Good job! You are done with Lesson 2. You may now proceed to Lesson 3.
ACTIVITY 1.
Answer the simple check-up quiz below. Read and match the descriptions in column A
with the terms in column B. Write your answers in your Study Notebook.
Column A
Column B
c__1.These are the knowledge, understanding, skills, and attitudes a. learning area
that learners need to demonstrate
d_2. These are the formative learning opportunities given to b. mode of delivery
learners to engage them in the subject matter and to enhance their
understanding of the content.
_a__3.This refers to the prescribed subject that learners take. c. learning competencies
The learning tasks may be as detailed like those in the SLMs as shown in the Sample Weekly
Home Learning Plan for Blended Distance Learning or may just refer learners to the lesson
number and/or activity number in the SLM as shown in the Sample Weekly Home Learning Plan
for Modular Distance Learning and for Online Distance Learning.
The WHLP also trains learners to take responsibility for their own learning as they follow the
prescribed schedule in the plan. Remember also that part of guiding learners is to give
enhancement or remediation activities when needed and when possible.
ACTIVITY 2.
Now, based on what you have read, create a WHLP for your class. Take note of the following
when creating your WHLP:
• For grade levels where learning areas are taught by different teachers, coordinate, plan,
and discuss the WHLP with the learning area teachers.
• Adjustments should be made on the timeframe for accomplishing the learning tasks if
there are any suspensions of classes due to calamities (DepEd, 2020).
• Enjoyable learning activities scheduled on Saturdays such as designing portfolios,
should also be reflected in the WHLP.
• Be guided by the recommended screen time for learners set by the American Academy
of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) which are as follows:
» Key Stage 1 (K to 3) – at most one hour daily for Kindergarten and one hour to 1.5
hours for Grades 1 to 3
» Key Stage 2 (Grades 4 to 6) – up to two hours
» Key Stage 3 (Grade 7 to 10) – up to two hours for Grades 7 and 8 and up to four hours
(two in the morning and the other two in the afternoon) for Grades 9 and 10
» Key Stage 4 (Grades 11 to 12) – at most four hours (2 hours in the morning and the
other 2 hours in the afternoon)
ACTIVITY 3.
Read items 7 to 11 of the Appendix D of DepEd Memorandum DM-CI-2020-00162. After you
read the guidelines on creating an ILMP, copy and fill out the table below in your Study
Notebook to see how the ILMP differs from the WHLP.
Yes Yes
Has to be
communicated to
parents?
ACTIVITY 4.
Assume that after going through the outputs submitted by your learners, one of them has problems
completing the learning tasks for the first two weeks. Think of a possible difficulty the learner may
have encountered in accomplishing the learning tasks. Apply what you have learned about ILMPs in
Activity 3 and create an ILMP for that particular learner who lags behind. Read and use the
Individual Learning Monitoring Plan Template. Consider the components of the ILMP that were
described in Activity 3.
Share the ILMP that you made for that specific learner during your next LAC Session.
Before leaving this Module, take note of the following key messages:
• There are no perfect lessons, but with careful planning, reflection, and continuous
adaptation before, during, and after lesson delivery, you will be able to design lessons with
your best efforts, and maximize learning in this new context.
• It is important for teachers to keep track of how the students are doing, get feedback from
the learners (learners’ self-assessment), and from the learning facilitators or household
partners, in order to continuously improve lessons and provide support for learners as they
learn.
• One way of getting feedback from learners is by communicating regularly with them and
their families. As teachers, you need to make your presence felt, and send the message to
the learners that they are not alone in this situation. This will greatly help them stay
motivated.
• As teachers, you are part of a larger community of learners, and would need support from
your Coaches, School Heads, and fellow teachers as you adapt to the new normal.
Now, coordinate with your LAC Leader regarding your LAC Session schedule for this module. Be
sure that you have your Module 3A outputs, Study Notebook, and LAC Session 3A Guide ready
when you participate in the LAC Session for this Module.
Congratulations for completing Module 3A! You are now ready for Module 3B.
