III. Procedure:

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

a. Preliminary Activities
 Greetings
“Good morning, Class!” “Goodmorning teacher!”
 Prayer
“Before we start our class, let’s
have our prayer first.”
“Sign of the cross... Dear God, bless our
class with wisdom, understanding, and
unity. Guide us as we learn and grow
together. May your presence be felt in “AMEN”
every lesson and interaction. In Jesus
name we pray AMEN....” “Thank you, Teacher”
“You may take your seat”
 Checking of Attendance
“How is everyone? Is “We’re fine teacher! Yes teacher!”
everybody presents?”

b. Lesson Proper
 i. Activity
“So, before we start let’s have a “Yes! Teacher"
short activity first! Are you ready?”

“Alright! So, we have here a presentation

called Planets Quiz”

“Instructions, compete with your peers to

see who can guess the most correct
planets. The student with the highest
number of correct guesses is declared the
winner. “Yes, Teacher!”
Are we all clear?”
“Alright, let's start”

“First slide question, it is our home planet,

a small and rocky world with a vital “Planet Earth, teacher!”
atmosphere that sustains life by providing
just the right amount of warmth. What is
the name of this planet?

“Very Good!”
“Jupiter, teacher!”
“Next, it is the biggest planet in our solar
system. It has big storms like the Great
Red Spot, which has been going for
hundreds of years. What planet is it?

“How about this, it is known as the Red “Me teacher! it’s planet Mars”
Planet. It is red because of the rusty iron
in the ground. It has two moons named
Phobos and Deimos. What is this planet?

“Amazing!”
“Teacher! Uranus”
“Next, it is the seventh planet from the
Sun. It is known for its bluish color. What
is the name of this planet?

“Good job!”

“Lastly, it is a gas giant composed of

helium and hydrogen. It has a lovely set “Planet Saturn, teacher!”
of seven main rings with spaces between
them. What planet is it?
 “Very good, everyone!

ii. Abstraction
“It’s all about planets, teacher!”
“So now, our topic for today is
all about Solar system. Do you have any
idea what is Solar system all about?”

“Yes, it’s all about planet”

“So, Solar system is the collection of eight

planets and their moons in orbit around
the sun, together with smaller bodies in
the form of asteroids, meteoroids, and
comets. The solar system's planets are (in
order of distance from the sun) Mercury,
Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, and Neptune.”

c. After the Lesson (Assessment)

“Alright so since we are done
discussing the planets in Solar System, we
will have here a short activity”
“So, I will divide you into 4 groups, and all
you must do is draw all the planets based
on their sequence and label it. After that,
share your insights about the solar system
in front of the class. Are we all clear? You “Yes, teacher!”
have 20 mins to do this. You can start
now”

“Yes, teacher!”
“Are you done?”

“Okay, let’s start to group 1 first, follow

on group 2,3, and 4, okay you may now
 start” “Thank you, teacher!”

“Very good everyone, you did a great

job!”
“Any questions and clarification regarding
of our discussion?” “None so far, teacher!”
“Okay, I guess everyone understands our
lesson. Class dismisses! Thank you, class
and Goodbye!” “Goodbye and thank you teacher cris!”
IV. Assignment
Direction: In a short bond paper. Draw
your favorite planet from among the eight
planets and explain why that planet is
your favorite.

Strategies for Teaching Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students:

1. Utilize visual aids such as diagrams, models, and pictures to supplement verbal
explanations.
2. Provide written instructions and handouts to reinforce learning and provide
additional support.
3. Incorporate interactive software or apps for simulations and multimedia
presentations.
4. Use sign language interpreters or communication aids as needed to facilitate
communication.
5. Break down complex concepts into smaller, manageable steps to aid
comprehension.
6. Foster peer collaboration and group work to enhance communication skills and
promote teamwork.
7. Provide frequent opportunities for hands-on learning and interactive activities to
engage students.
8. Ensure a well-lit and visually accessible classroom environment to maximize
learning opportunities.
9. Provide visual feedback and praise to reinforce learning and encourage
participation.
10. Adapt teaching strategies to accommodate individual learning needs and
preferences and be flexible in addressing students' questions and concerns.
