ILAW Lesson Plan Grade 4 Term 2 Week 3

Below is a detailed breakdown of what a complete and compliant ILAW Lesson Plan for Grade 4 should look like. Use this as a reference when reviewing, editing, or creating your own plan.

I – Intentions (Mga Layunin at Kontexto)

This section covers the curriculum standards and learning objectives for the week.

• Pamantayang Pangnilalaman (Content Standards): What the learners are expected to know and understand
• Pamantayan sa Pagganap (Performance Standards): How learners demonstrate their understanding through meaningful tasks
• Mga Kasanayan at Layuning Pampagkatuto (Learning Competencies and Objectives): Specific, measurable learning targets aligned to the MATATAG Curriculum Guide for Grade 4
• Nilalaman (Content/Topic): The core concept or skill being taught for the week
• Integrasyon (Integration): How the lesson connects to values, other subject areas, or real-life contexts

Pro tip: Always write your objectives using observable action verbs (e.g., nailalahad, nakapagbibigay, naisasakilos). This makes your Assessment section much easier to align later.

L – Learning Experiences (Mga Karanasan sa Pagkatuto)

This is the heart of the ILAW template — it’s where you plan out the day-by-day flow of your lessons across the four-day teaching week.

Each day’s Learning Experiences typically follows this flow:

1. Priming Activity – Warm-up, review, or hook to get learners engaged
2. Introduction of New Concept or Skill – Direct instruction, demonstration, or exploration
3. Guided Practice – Structured activities where learners apply what they’ve learned with teacher support
4. Independent Practice – Activities learners complete on their own or in groups
5. Synthesis/Wrap-up – Summarizing key learnings for the day

Here’s a quick overview of how a typical Grade 4 Term 2 Week 3 lesson flow might look:

Remember: The ILAW format does not require a separate plan for Friday. Day 1 to Day 4 covers Monday through Thursday, with Friday typically reserved for remediation, enrichment, or assessment consolidation per your school’s schedule.

A – Assessment (Pagtataya ng Natutuhan)

The Assessment section should specify how you will check if learners have met the week’s objectives. Under ILAW, formative assessment is emphasized — you’re checking for understanding throughout the learning process, not just at the end.

For Grade 4 Term 2 Week 3, your assessment strategies may include:

• Oral questioning (pasalitang pagsagot) during priming activities
• Written short quizzes at the end of each concept-heavy day
• Performance-based tasks such as role-playing, creating outputs, or presenting ideas
• Exit slips — a quick 3-item reflection or quiz that learners complete before leaving class
• Portfolio entries — if your school uses portfolio-based assessment

When writing this section, ask yourself: “How will I know that my learners learned what I intended?” The answer becomes your assessment.

W – Ways Forward (Mga Susunod na Hakbang)

This is the reflection and action planning section — and it’s what makes the ILAW format genuinely different from the old DLL.

Instead of just filling in blanks about what happened, the Ways Forward section asks you to:

1. Reflect on how the lesson went (Ano ang naging mabuti? Ano ang dapat paunlarin?)
2. Plan remediation for learners who did not meet the objectives
3. Plan enrichment for learners who exceeded expectations
4. Identify adjustments for next week’s lesson based on this week’s learner performance

This section transforms lesson planning from a paperwork exercise into a genuine professional practice. If you’re honest and thoughtful in this section, it becomes your most powerful tool for improving your teaching over time.
