Writing the two activity columns
In a detailed plan the teacher's column holds what you will actually say and ask; the students' column holds the answers you expect. Write the key questions in full and the expected answers short.
- Preliminary activities: prayer, greeting, checking attendance, a quick review of the last lesson.
- Motivation: a picture, a question or a short game that makes them want the answer.
- Activity and discussion: the task the groups do, then the questions that lead to the concept.
- Generalization: the learners state the lesson in their own words.
- Application: they use it on a new, real situation.
Write objectives the lesson can prove
Each objective starts with an action you can see and check at the end of the period. Cover the three domains — what learners know, what they can do, and what they value.
- Knowledge: define, identify, explain, compare.
- Skill: measure, solve, draw, demonstrate.
- Attitude: show, appreciate, cooperate, value.
- Avoid "understand" and "learn" — they cannot be checked.
Make the evaluation match the objectives
Every objective should have at least one evaluation item that tests it. A five-item quiz is enough for one period; keep the answer key in your copy, not on the plan the learners see.
Questions people ask
Is this the official DepEd lesson plan form?
No. It follows the parts DepEd schools use — objectives, subject matter, procedure, evaluation and assignment — but it is a teacher's working plan. If your school or division gives a template (a DLL or DLP format), use theirs; the content you write here carries over.
Where do I get the learning competency?
From the curriculum guide or the most essential learning competencies list for your grade and subject. Copy it word for word with its code, so the checker can match the plan to the curriculum.
Who signs as "checked by"?
Usually the master teacher, the department head or the school head who reviews your plans. For a practice teacher, it is the cooperating teacher.
Why is it two pages?
A detailed plan writes out the dialogue of the lesson, so it usually runs past one page. The layout keeps each part of the procedure whole and puts the signatures at the end.
