A detailed lesson plan (DLP) contains a detailed description of the steps a teacher will take to
teach a particular topic.

Parts:
I. Objectives - One or two SMART statements describing what students will know
and be able to demonstrate at the end of the lesson.

II. Subject Matter

a. Topic - The title should be a gerund phrase describing the task or set of tasks to
be accomplished during the lesson.
b. References - Textbooks, reference books, or websites where students can go to
find additional information.
c. Materials - Objects, devices, tech gadgets, or real objects for content
presentation or student activity
d. Values Integration

III. Procedure
A. Daily Routine
 Greetings
 Prayer
 Checking Attendance
 Classroom Management

B. Review/Lesson Preview - This could be a review of the previous day’s work that
measures students’ mastery level, a review of a past lesson to activate
students’ prior knowledge, or a review of a particular skill for practice.
C. Motivation - This part should get students ready to learn. Some strategies to get
students’ attention are: giving brief, clear overviews (purpose of the lesson, how
it will proceed, and what will be expected of the students) and providing reasons
why the lesson is important; arousing student curiosity with humor and the
dramatic; making creative use of voice, movement, and gesture; and using
strategies that require students to use a variety of senses
D. Lesson Proper
 Content and Skill-Building - This part describes the lesson’s content or
the skill being taught. It also describes how the content/skill is
presented/demonstrated to the students. Make sure you break the
content/skill into small chunks, and present/demonstrate each chunk one
at a time, followed by a comprehension activity. Also, visual instruction is
much more effective than verbal instruction, so use visual devices
whenever feasible.
This part shows the notes that students will copy (Copying notes can
happen before or after content presentation/modeling). The notes should
be concise but complete. Concept notes should be presented in
linguistic and nonlinguistic (e.g., graphic organizers) modalities. The
 notes should include questions requiring students to think about the
content.
 Guided Practice - These are short individual and collaborative activities
to allow students to apply what they have learned and develop their
newly acquired skills. During guided practice, students receive coaching
and feedback from the teacher, other students, and/or from the learning
materials. It is important that errors committed by the student during
guided practice are addressed and immediately corrected. The activity
should be designed to o “force” students to think about what they are
doing, e.g., what errors they committed and why they committed such
errors. Guided practice should be done in collaborative/cooperative
groups, so students benefit from peer teaching and coaching.
 Independent Activity - These are individual or group activity without
direct teacher guidance and serves as a continuation of the guided
practice. Independent practice should be given only after a degree of
accuracy has been achieved during guided practice. This is because it is
important for students to experience success and not reinforce errors by
practicing a skill incorrectly. Also, the independent practice should NOT
be used to introduce additional information or more advanced skill use.
Instead, it should provide students with opportunities to practice
independently, the practice they have already been doing under the
teacher’s guidance.
E. Application and Generalization - Students should do the summarizing and, if
possible, this is done collaboratively.
IV. Evaluation – Quiz
V. Assignment – Optional. Given if the student needs to do advanced reading or study.
VI. Enrichment Activity/ Explore Activity - This is an optional activity designed for
students who finish Independent Practice ahead of time. Efforts should be made to
ensure that the activity is interesting and a reward for students who show diligence
in doing class activities.
VII. Thinking About Learning - This is an activity through which students review the
lesson experience. They identify points of confusion, the level of certainty they have
about content, preconceptions that were accurate, and preconceptions that were
inaccurate.
