evaluation should be an integral part.
Application, Evaluation, Follow-up
These concluding parts of the lesson plan speak
to the matters of utility, effectiveness, and the
place of the lesson in the learning sequence.
V. Assignment
The teacher should always make a tie-up
between home and school experiences since the
EPP subject is family oriented.
Giving assignments after learning a task will
reinforce learning and will also assure a
carryover of the school to the pupils’ family
members. This action will ensure mastery of the
competencies acquired.
A lesson plan can be written in many ways. It
can be detailed, semi-detailed or brief. A
detailed lesson plan contains practically all the
activities of the teacher and the pupils during the
day.
A semi-detailed lesson plan contains the outline
and sample questions and activities of the
teacher, and the pupils.
A brief lesson plan contains the directions to be
undertaken by the teacher as the guide.
Experienced teachers use brief lesson plans but
just the same, classroom preparation and visual
aids are usually the same among the three kinds
of lesson plans.
