4 A’s Definition and Lesson Plan Sample

I. Activity – This will bring understanding to what the learners already know and clarity to
what learners should learn further. At this early stage, the student should already have a
retrospect of what they will be learning through the activity that will be presented

II. Analysis – A more in-depth understanding of the lesson, it is another phase where the
students will process and classify what is valid and not. The teacher on this part will ask
further questions and will also lead as a facilitator rather than mere lecturing and sharing
facts and ideas. The students now gains a wider view of the lesson but at the same time
draws closer to the main topic.

III. Abstraction – The teacher on this part will now focus entirely on the lesson being presented
and ask more lead questions to lead the students in reinforcing what they know and should
know more. The student here starts to feel more the importance of the lesson to her and
see the necessity of it to his/her life.

IV. Application – The word itself describes the stage as bringing the student to a more practical
way of using HOW are they going to use what they have learned and thinking of new ways
on how it can be improved further.
