V. PROCEDURES

Introductory Activity (____

minutes). This part introduces
the lesson content. Although at
times optional, it is usually
included to serve as a warm-
up activity to give the learners
zest for the incoming lesson
and an idea about what it to
follow. One principle in
learning is that learning occurs
when it is conducted in a
pleasurable and comfortable
atmosphere.
Activity/Strategy (____
minutes). This is an interactive
strategy to elicit learner’s prior
learning experience. It serves
as a springboard for new
learning. It illustrates the
principle that learning starts
where the learners are.
Carefully structured activities
such as individual or group
reflective exercises, group
discussion, self-or group
assessment, dyadic or triadic
interactions, puzzles,
simulations or role-play,
cybernetics exercise, gallery
walk and the like may be
created. Clear instructions
should be considered in this
part of the lesson.
Analysis (____ minutes).
Essential questions are
included to serve as a guide
for the teacher in clarifying key
understandings about the topic
at hand. Critical points are
organized to structure the
discussions allowing the
learners to maximize
interactions and sharing of
ideas and opinions about
expected issues. Affective
questions are included to elicit
the feelings of the learners
about the activity or the topic.
The last questions or points
taken should lead the learners
to understand the new
concepts or skills that are to be
presented in the next part of
the lesson.
Abstraction (____ minutes).
This outlines the key concepts,
important skills that should be
enhanced, and the proper
attitude that should be
emphasized. This is organized
as a lecturette that
summarizes the learning
emphasized from the activity,
analysis and new inputs in this
part of the lesson.
Application (____ minutes).
This part is structured to
ensure the commitment of the
learners to do something to
