Name of FS Mentor Dr. KATHERINE QUERODA

Date September 22, 2023

At the end of this learning activity, the FS students should be able to:
1. describe the different parts of a lesson plan using a specified model;
2. construct a lesson plan aligned to his/her specialization using the existing basic education curriculum;
3. revise a lesson based on the comments/suggestions given by the mentor/instructor;
4. cite challenges encountered in writing lesson plans; and
5. reflect on the feedback received for the improvement of teaching practice.

A lesson plan is the teacher’s compendium of what students need to learn and how it will be done effectively
during the class time. It also involves designing and incorporating appropriate learning activities and strategies to obtain
substantive feedback on student learning. A well-constructed lesson plan prepared by a teacher for a particular lesson
allows him/her to enter the classroom with more confidence and a greater possibility of having engaging activities that will
result in a meaningful learning experience with students.
In this segment of learning experience, you will be exposed to various activities that allows you to examine
different lesson plan exemplars and its parts, and an opportunity to construct your own lesson plan.

There are two activities that you are going to do in this segment of learning. First, you have to stay focus, observe and
examine materials as you work your way in writing your own lesson plan.
Activity 4-1. DRAW ME OUT! (Part 1)
The FS mentor will provide at least three sample lesson plans using different models. The FS students will identify
the model and parts the given lesson plan.

Questions:
(1) What do you observe about the format of the lesson plans presented to you?
➢ An effective lesson plan includes learning objectives, teaching activities, and approaches
for evaluating student understanding. The format may differ based on student needs,
teacher preferences, and subject matter. Regardless of the format, it's important to embed
key aspects of student development and learning.
(2) Describe the parts of each lesson plan model
A lesson plan is a guide for teachers that outlines what students need to learn and how to
accomplish this in a classroom setting. The 7E model (Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain,
Elaborate, Evaluate, and Expand) is a specific model that is often used.
✓ The initial section of a lesson plan is called "Layunin" or Objectives, where the teacher
thoughtfully incorporates all three domains of learning: cognitive, affective, and
psychomotor.
✓ The "Nilalaman" section covers the topic being taught, while the "Kagamitang Panturo"
section contains the resources and materials the teacher will use, with the use of two
sources being commendable to ensure accuracy.
✓ "Pamamaraan" is the fourth stage, which initiates teacher-student interaction. This phase
is divided into two sections: "Panimulang Gawain" This section includes activities such as
greetings, prayers, classroom management, and checking absentees.
✓ In elicit section, contains the “balik aral/pagsisimula ng baong aralin.
✓ The "Motivation" phase, located in the engage section, involves students by inquiring
about their dream careers, enhancing their involvement in the learning process.
✓ The "Presentation" section, corresponding to the explore section, utilizes visuals and the
Socratic Method to delve into various careers, encouraging students to explore and grasp
the topic.
✓ "Discussion," in the explain section, facilitates debate through thought-provoking
questions, promoting the generation of new knowledge.
✓ Various activities are designed to elucidate the topic further, dividing students into three
groups: role-playing, graphic organizers, and drawing, all related to the topic of careers.
This multi-faceted approach enhances comprehension and fosters a deeper connection
with the subject matter.
✓ The "Summarization" section, corresponding to the elaborate stage, provides clarity by
summarizing the lesson and asking students questions for reinforcement.
✓ The evaluate phase, naturally integrated into the "Pagtataya," entails students answering
questionnaires to gauge their learning, touching upon cognitive, affective, and
psychomotor domains.
✓ Lastly, in the expand section, the teacher assigns a questionnaire to be completed at
home, ensuring continued learning beyond the classroom. The students' responses in
each section are realistic and indicative of the lesson's success.
✓ Overall, this lesson plan is exemplary, offering a structured and interactive approach. It
effectively addresses various learning domains and engages students throughout the
teaching-learning process, making the teacher's goals praiseworthy.

Activity 4-2. DRAW ME OUT! (Part 2)

Request for a lesson plan exemplars in your respective specialization from your cooperating teacher. Examine and
describe how each part was written.
Below are the things we have noticed after we examined the sample lesson plan given by the teacher:
I. Layunin
Creating a lesson plan is an important task for teachers to ensure a smooth teaching and learning
process. A lesson plan is divided into parts, each of which plays a critical role in teaching.
Learning objectives are crucial in designing the teaching, preparing the content, and carrying out
the learning activities. The objectives are divided into three domains: cognitive, affective, and
psychomotor. The cognitive domain focuses on knowledge and intellectual development, while
the affective domain includes attitudes, feelings, and emotions. The psychomotor domain focuses
on physical movement, coordination, and motor-skill talents. It is important to establish achievable
learning objectives to ensure the success of the teaching and learning process.
II. Nilalaman
This section of the lesson plan outlines the specific topic or subject that the teacher will teach on
a given day. The topic will serve as the central point of the class discussion and will be the focus
of what the students are expected to learn from their teacher.
III. Kagamitang Panturo
In this section, the teacher will list the references and learning materials they will use to effectively
teach the lesson. References will include the textbook title and supplementary materials from the
LRMDC portal. Learning resources will include both ICT and non-ICT resources, such as self-
learning modules, the internet, PowerPoint presentations, textbooks, and other materials that will
assist the teacher in facilitating learning.

IV. Pamamaraan
Having a clear procedure section in a lesson plan is essential. It outlines the steps and activities
to achieve the lesson's objectives and ensures successful teaching and learning.

V. Mga Tala
The second to the last section, which is crucial in a lesson plan, is called "Remarks" or
"Pagtatala." As the name suggests, this part includes the evaluation results of the students'
exams and quizzes that measure their understanding of the lesson. It also reflects the progress of
the students before and after the lesson proper.

VI. Pagninilay
After delivering a lesson, teachers are encouraged to complete the "pagninilay" section of the
lesson plan. This reflection section requires the teacher to consider the lesson's strengths and
weaknesses and briefly write about them. Additionally, teachers can share their thoughts and
feelings about what was successfully implemented, what needs improvement, and what could be
adjusted in future lessons. Finally, teachers can also mention which students excelled in the
lesson and which ones need assistance.

From a model, which part do you think is easy and difficult to construct?

In the 7E Lesson Plan Model, the most challenging parts to develop are Engage and Explore. It can be difficult
to ensure that your learners are attentive to the discussion, particularly when teaching Social Sciences. It takes
time to create an activity that will keep the students engaged and interested in the lesson. Explore is where
the lesson's content is presented, and it's a real challenge to plan the best approach to deliver the lesson in a
creative and meaningful way. On the other hand, Elicit, Explain, and Elaborate are relatively easy to construct.
These parts involve reviewing the previous lesson, clarifying the concepts discussed, connecting the concepts
to real-life situations, and generalizing the topic.

What teaching method is used in each plan? Why did you say so?

Cooperative Learning is the teaching approach used, where children learn by working on group projects. This
provides them with the opportunity to work with classmates, learn from them, and mentor them. While some
students might find it challenging to collaborate in groups, others excel. The effectiveness of this method is
apparent in lesson plans that require students to work together, such as the think-pair-share and jigsaw
methods. The think-pair-share method involves students thinking about a problem, discussing it with their
group members, and then sharing their ideas with the class. In cooperative learning lessons, students complete
learning assignments in small groups while receiving specific instructions from the teacher. During the project,
students work together and play specific roles.

Describe the congruence of the lesson plan from the intended learning outcomes to the supporting activities and
assessments?

When planning lessons, it is important to ensure that the learning activities align with the learning objectives
and that the assessments measure the important learning outcomes suggested by the objectives. Anticipated
learning outcomes are statements about what students will know and be able to do after completing the course.
This serves as a roadmap for what the students should learn and how the activities should be designed to reach
those goals. It is crucial that assessments are based on these goals, otherwise the desired learning outcomes will
not be achieved. To provide the best learning experience for students, the targeted learning outcomes,
supporting activities, and evaluation should all work together in harmony. Ideally, the learning goal should be to
develop the ability to assess the needs of the students.

What challenges did you encounter in writing your lesson plan? How will you address these challenges?
➢ Lesson planning is vital for teachers to maintain the flow of teaching and learning processes. Developing
various teaching methods and strategies is necessary to meet the needs of diverse learners. Written
instructions and lesson plans must account for student differences. The contents of the lesson must be
aware of a diverse learning environment. As I create my lesson plan, I have encountered some
challenges that require me to think critically and gather relevant data. I aim to complete this task as soon
as possible, as it is not the only thing on my to-do list. However, at times, I struggle to organize my
thoughts and become stuck in a mental block, which delays my progress. To overcome these challenges,
I view them as opportunities to inspire me and remind myself that I have faced similar obstacles before
and have the ability to overcome them. Although I may occasionally lose focus, I always strive to regain
my momentum. My mother once told me that it's not always about being the fastest but overcoming all
the steps in the process, and I keep this in mind as I tackle my lesson plan. Ultimately, I am confident that
I will succeed.
