ILAW Lesson Plan Grade 5 Term 1 Week 8

Based on the DepEd MATATAG Three-Term Budget of Work (BOW) and the weekly competency progression from Weeks 1 through 7, here is a general guide to what Grade 5 learners are working on during Week 8 across all learning areas.

English 5

By Week 8, English lessons build on the reading comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar foundations laid in earlier weeks. Learners are typically engaged in:

• Reading longer, more complex text types — analyzing informational texts and narrative selections
• Grammar focus — applying sentence structure, verb tenses, and modifier usage in context
• Writing tasks — producing short paragraphs or structured compositions with clear topic sentences and supporting details
• Oral language — speaking tasks that emphasize logical organization and audience awareness

ILAW tip for English: In your Learning Experience, pair independent reading with a guided text analysis task. Use your Assessing Learning section to include an exit ticket where learners write one-sentence summaries of the main idea.

Filipino 5

Week 8 Filipino lessons continue to develop learners’ fluency in the national language through:

• Pagbabasa at Pag-unawa — deeper analysis of literary and expository texts
• Pagsulat — functional writing tasks such as liham, talata, or maikling sanaysay
• Wika at Gramatika — consistent review of grammar rules in a communicative context
• Pakikinig at Pagsasalita — structured oral activities that build confidence and clarity

ILAW tip for Filipino: Design your Intentions around a single, specific competency from the BOW. Avoid combining too many objectives in one session — this keeps your Assessing Learning component manageable and meaningful.

Mathematics 5

Mathematics in Week 8 typically moves deeper into number operations, measurement, or geometry concepts, depending on your school’s pacing. Common Week 8 competencies include:

• Fractions and decimals — adding, subtracting, and problem-solving with mixed numbers
• Measurement — area, perimeter, and volume of plane and solid figures
• Data and graphs — interpreting bar graphs, line graphs, and tables with real-world contexts

ILAW tip for Math: Use the Ways Forward space to note specific learners who need remediation on computation skills — and design your next lesson’s warm-up around those gaps. This is exactly what the ILAW format is designed to support.

Science 5

Science lessons in Week 8 continue to develop learners’ scientific thinking through inquiry and investigation. Topics may include:

• Matter and its properties — physical and chemical changes
• Living things and their environment — ecosystems, food webs, or biodiversity
• Earth and space — weather patterns, the water cycle, or Earth’s layers

ILAW tip for Science: The Learning Experience section is where Science lessons really shine under ILAW. Build in an investigation or hands-on activity — even simple ones using available classroom materials — and observe learner participation as a form of assessment.

Araling Panlipunan 5

AP lessons in Week 8 deepen learners’ understanding of Philippine history, geography, and civics. Possible topics include:

• Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas — colonial history and its social, political, and cultural effects
• Heograpiya — regions of the Philippines and their characteristics
• Sibika at Kultura — civic responsibilities and community involvement

ILAW tip for AP: Use a KWL chart or concept map in the Learning Experience section. These tools work well for organizing historical information and checking prior knowledge at the start of the lesson.

Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (ESP) 5

ESP Week 8 focuses on character formation and values integration. Lessons are typically organized around:

• Personal virtues — honesty, responsibility, compassion, and integrity
• Family and community — learner’s role as a child, sibling, friend, and community member
• Reflective activities — journaling, sharing, role-playing, and scenario discussions

ILAW tip for ESP: The Intentions section of your ESP lesson should always anchor on a specific value. The Ways Forward reflection is especially powerful here — ask learners how they plan to practice the value at home or in school.

MAPEH 5 (Music, Arts, Physical Education, Health)

MAPEH covers four subject areas and is usually taught in rotation or combination per session:

• Music — reading music notation, singing, or exploring Philippine musical traditions
• Arts — visual art projects using elements of art and principles of design
• P.E. — fitness activities, games, and sports skills development
• Health — personal health, nutrition, hygiene, and mental wellness

ILAW tip for MAPEH: MAPEH lessons naturally lend themselves to performance-based assessment. Under Assessing Learning, note observable indicators — participation, technique, output quality — rather than just written tasks.
