ILAW lesson plan Grade 1 Term 1 Week 2 Free Download + Complete Teacher's Guide

If you searched for “Quarter 1 Week 2,” you’re in the right place — but here’s something worth knowing before you download anything: DepEd no longer calls it Term 1. Starting School Year 2026–2027, the old four-quarter calendar was replaced by a three-term system, and what used to be “Quarter 1 Week 2” is now Term 1, Week 2 — covering June 22 to 26, 2026.

It’s a small naming shift, but it trips up a lot of teachers (and a lot of outdated blog posts still circulating online). So before we get to the free download, let’s make sure you have the right file for the right week — because the format, the subjects, and even the lesson plan template itself have all changed this year.

What Changed for Grade 1 This School Year (And Why It Matters for Week 2)

If you taught Grade 1 last year, this week’s lesson plan is going to look different in three big ways.

It’s the ILAW format now, not the DLL or DLP. Per DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026, signed June 4, 2026, the Department of Education replaced the old Daily Lesson Log and Detailed Lesson Plan with a single unified template called ILAW — Intentions, Learning Experiences, Assessment, and Ways Forward. It effectively repeals DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016, which previously governed the DLL and DLP.
The school year now runs in three terms, not four quarters. This is the part that confuses the “Quarter 1 Week 2” search term. Term 1 Week 2 of SY 2026–2027 covers June 22–26, 2026. There’s no more “Quarter 1” — Term 1 stretches across what used to be roughly Quarters 1 and 2.
Grade 1 subjects were restructured under MATATAG. This is the one that catches even veteran teachers off guard. Under MATATAG, Mother Tongue was completely removed from Grade 1, and English and Filipino were merged into a single subject called Language, with practical application handled separately under Reading and Literacy. Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao was renamed Good Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC), and Araling Panlipunan became Makabansa.

So your Grade 1 learning areas for Term 1 Week 2 are: Language, Reading and Literacy, Mathematics, GMRC, and Makabansa — five subjects, not six or seven.

Good news for Term 1: You don’t have to switch to ILAW immediately. DepEd built in a grace period — teachers may still use the old DLL/DLP format until the end of Term 1, with full ILAW compliance required starting Term 2. That said, most schools are encouraging early adoption now so the transition in Term 2 isn’t a scramble.

Why download the editable Word version instead of a PDF? Because the ILAW format isn’t meant to be filled out generically. DepEd Order No. 16 expects the Intentions, Learner Context, and Ways Forward sections to reflect your actual class — not a one-size-fits-all draft. A Word file lets you adjust freely; a locked PDF doesn’t.

Breaking Down the ILAW Format for Grade 1 (With Real Examples)

The four ILAW components sound abstract until you see them applied to actual 6- and 7-year-olds. Here’s what each section realistically looks like for a Grade 1 class in Week 2.

I — Intentions

This replaces the old “Objectives” box, but it’s meant to go a layer deeper than “students will be able to.” For Grade 1 Language in Week 2, an Intentions section might read:

Learning competency: Identify beginning sounds of familiar three-letter words
Success criteria: Learner can say and point to the correct beginning letter for at least 4 out of 5 picture cards
Learner context note: Class has mixed readiness — 6 learners are non-readers, 12 are emerging readers, 4 are early independent readers (differentiate accordingly)

That last line matters more than it looks. Under the new guidelines, lesson plans are graded partly on whether they actually account for who’s in the room — not just what’s being taught.

L — Learning Experience

This is your actual teaching sequence: motivation, modeling, guided practice, independent work. For Grade 1, Week 2 activities tend to lean heavily on routine-building since learners are still settling into formal schooling. Think songs, picture cards, tracing, oral drills, and short, repeatable activities rather than long seatwork blocks.

A — Assessing Learning

For 6-year-olds, this is rarely a paper-and-pencil test. Oral questioning, thumbs-up/thumbs-down checks, matching games, and simple observation checklists do the heavy lifting here. Keep it low-stakes — Week 2 is still early enough that you’re gauging readiness, not mastery.

W — Ways Forward

This is the section most teachers under-fill, and it’s actually the one DepEd cares about most for instructional coaching purposes. It should answer: What did today’s lesson tell me, and what will I do differently tomorrow? A genuinely useful Ways Forward entry might say:

“Three learners struggled to identify beginning sounds for /b/ and /d/ — will pull a small group for a 10-minute letter-sound activity before Wednesday’s lesson.”

That’s a real, actionable note — not just “lesson was successful, proceed to next topic.”

The AI Declaration: A New Requirement You Can't Skip

If you used any AI tool — including this very article’s downloadable templates as a starting point — DepEd now requires you to disclose it. Under DepEd Order No. 3, s. 2026, AI is recognized as a helpful tool for administrative efficiency, but fully AI-generated lesson plans are strictly banned, and teachers must declare AI assistance under three categories: Prohibited, Limited, and Guided use.

Here’s a quick reference so you know which bucket your AI use falls into:

Category	What It Covers	Allowed?
Prohibited	Letting AI define learning objectives or design the core ILAW sections for you	❌ No
Limited	Using AI to reorganize or refine text after you’ve made the core decisions	✅ Yes, with declaration
Guided	Grammar checks, formatting, translation help	✅ Yes, freely

In practice: if you download our free template and adjust the Learner Context, write your own Ways Forward reflection, and just use AI to clean up formatting — that’s Guided use, no problem. If you ask AI to fully write your objectives and activities without review, that crosses into Prohibited territory.

Common Questions From Grade 1 Teachers This Week

“My principal says we still have to use the old DLL. Are these files useless to me?” Not at all — keep them. Section 23 of DO No. 16 gives schools and teachers a Term 1 grace period to keep using the old DLL/DLP format. Many schools are using Term 1 as a soft transition period, so having your ILAW-format Week 2 plan ready now means you’re not scrambling when Term 2 makes it mandatory.

“Can my school division require an additional template on top of ILAW?” No. DO No. 16 prescribes one unified format for all teachers, and schools, divisions, and regions cannot require additional forms or templates beyond the official ILAW format. If your division office is asking for extra paperwork layered on top of ILAW, that’s worth raising during your next coordination meeting.

“Where do I get the actual competency codes for Week 2?” Pull them from your MATATAG Budget of Work (BOW) for Grade 1 — it’s the master schedule that breaks competencies down week by week. If you don’t have a current copy, your school’s MATATAG coordinator or your division’s curriculum office should have the latest version. We also keep an updated BOW reference if you need a quick cross-check.

“Is Mother Tongue really gone for Grade 1?” Yes. Mother Tongue was completely removed from Grade 1 under MATATAG, with English and Filipino merged into a unified Language subject. If your Week 2 file still has a separate Mother Tongue column, it’s an outdated MELC-based template, not the current MATATAG one.

A Quick Sanity Check Before You Submit

Before turning in your Week 2 ILAW plan, run through this:

All five MATATAG learning areas covered (Language, Reading & Literacy, Mathematics, GMRC, Makabansa)
Competency codes pulled from the current Grade 1 MATATAG BOW, not last year’s MELC version
Learner Context reflects your actual class composition, not a generic placeholder
Ways Forward section has a specific, actionable note — not just “lesson was successful”
AI Declaration included and correctly categorized, if applicable
File uses the ILAW format (Intentions / Learning Experience / Assessment / Ways Forward) — not leftover DLL headers
