What Is the ILAW Lesson Plan Format?

ILAW is the official lesson planning framework of the Department of Education (DepEd) under DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026. It replaces the old Daily Lesson Log (DLL) and Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP) formats. The word ILAW means “light” in Filipino — a fitting name for a framework designed to brighten and simplify how Filipino teachers plan their lessons.

ILAW stands for:

Letter	Component	What It Means
I	Intentions	What learners are expected to know, do, and value by the end of the lesson
L	Learning Experiences	The activities, strategies, and resources used to help learners achieve the intentions
A	Assessing Learning	Formative and summative checks to monitor learner understanding
W	Ways Forward	Reflections, remediation plans, extended learning, and next steps

“The ILAW framework is designed to reduce paperwork while strengthening instruction — giving teachers more time to focus on what matters most: their learners.” — DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2026

Unlike the old DLL that focused heavily on procedure, the ILAW format puts learning outcomes first. It is competency-based, learner-centered, and aligned with the MATATAG Curriculum — the updated K–10 curriculum introduced by DepEd to address learning gaps and equip Filipino students with 21st-century skills.

Week 8 of Term 1 falls on August 3–7, 2026. By this point in the school year, your Grade 1 learners have already settled into classroom routines. They are no longer the nervous first-graders of Week 1 — they know the rules, they know their classmates, and they are ready to engage more deeply with foundational academic skills.

This is the week to build on the momentum. Lessons should strengthen the literacy and numeracy skills introduced in earlier weeks while continuing to develop values, social awareness, and creative expression.

Subjects Covered in the Grade 1 ILAW DLL — All Subjects

The Grade 1 ILAW Lesson Plan covers the following learning areas under the MATATAG Curriculum:

Language
Reading and Literacy
Mathematics
Makabansa
Good Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC)

Each subject has its own set of daily lesson logs aligned with the DepEd Official Three-Term Budget of Work (BOW) for SY 2026–2027.

What to Expect in Grade 1 ILAW Lessons During Week 8

Here is a general breakdown of what Grade 1 learners are typically working on by Term 1 Week 8, based on the MATATAG curriculum sequence:

Language, Reading and Literacy

Learners continue building their foundational reading and writing skills. Week 8 typically involves:

Recognizing and writing sight words
Reading simple sentences and short texts aloud
Basic comprehension activities using picture books or story cards
Introduction to simple sentence patterns (e.g., “The ___ is ___.”)

Teacher tip: Use Big Books or projected digital stories for shared reading to make English class more engaging and accessible for all learners, especially those from non-English-speaking homes.

Mathematics

By Week 8, Grade 1 Mathematics typically focuses on:

Addition concepts using concrete objects (e.g., blocks, counters, popsicle sticks)
Understanding addition as “putting together” or “adding to”
Writing number sentences (e.g., 3 + 2 = 5)
Solving simple word problems with sums up to 10

The ILAW framework encourages manipulative-based learning at the Grade 1 level. Let your learners use real objects before moving to pictorial and abstract representations.

Makabansa

Araling Panlipunan for Grade 1 in Week 8 usually explores the learner’s immediate environment — family, community, and school. Topics may include:

Identifying roles and responsibilities of family members
Understanding the concept of community helpers
Simple map-reading activities using the school or barangay as context
Appreciating Filipino cultural practices and traditions

GMRC (Good Manners and Right Conduct)

GMRC lessons in Week 8 reinforce values that are directly relevant to learners’ daily lives. Themes often include:

Showing respect for teachers, classmates, and parents
Practicing cleanliness and personal hygiene
Understanding the difference between right and wrong in everyday situations
Expressing gratitude and kindness through simple acts

Personal connection: GMRC is most powerful when it connects to real events happening in the classroom. Use a recent situation — a kind gesture a classmate showed, or a conflict that was resolved peacefully — as a springboard for the lesson.
