Recommended DepEd Lesson Plan Format

I have served DepEd for a year now, but I did not follow the recommended lesson plan format because I didn't know what it was. I saw the format in my colleagues lesson plans but I couldn't appreciate it.

However, during my teaching demonstration,  I was required to provide a lesson plan DepEd style. This was my initiation into the 4 A's method and I actually like it.

Here's my lesson plan:

I. OBJECTIVE

1. Identify the relationship between the number of images formed and the angle between to mirors
2. Use the gathered data to derive the formula for determining the number of images formed when two mirrors are kept at a certain angle.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

Subject: Grade 10 Science
Domain: Force, Motion, and Energy
Module 3: Light - Mirrors and Lenses
Topic: Multiple Images

III. LESSON PROPER

a. PRAYER, CHECKING of ATTENDANCE

b. REVIEW: Call students to write their answers on the board for the following questions. Then have the class agree with their answers using their thumbs (thumbs up = agree, thumbs down = disgree, thumbs side ward = undecided)
1. If Maya is 1 m is away from the mirror, her image will be ____ m away from the mirror.
2. The height and width of a chair is ___________ the height and width of its image in the plane mirror.
3. The angle of incidence is __________ the angle of reflection.
4. The word "bed" would appear as __________ in a plane mirror.

c. MOTIVATION/ Ice Breaker
Ask students who wants to be rich. Those who wants to be rich would have to tiptoe and stretch their hands towards the sky.
After their stretching, tell the students that today's activity could be their key to becoming a millionaire.

d. 4 A's
1. ACTIVITY 4 Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (p 178-179 of the Learners Manual)
2. ANALYSIS: What is the relationship between the number of images formed and the angle between the two mirrors?
3. ABSTRACTION: Derive the formula for determining the number of images formed by two plane mirrors.
4. APPLICATION: How should the mirrors be arranged such that an infinite number of  images will be formed or seen?

e. EVALUATION
Take a "selfie" or "grouphie" using two or more plane mirrors showing multiple images.

f. ASSIGNMENT/ Agreement
Read on the types of reflection.

Teachers are acting as students during my teaching demonstration. They're having fun, I think.

Teachers from Iligan City are seriously answering the guide questions.

I hope my students would be as happy as these teachers when I finally have this lesson with them.
