Grade 8 Quarter 2 Lesson Exemplars (LE) Compilation | SY 2025–2026

Maam Athena

As the school year turns a new page, Grade 8 learners step into the second quarter carrying lessons from the first. The atmosphere in classrooms feels different now. Less of the “getting to know” stage, and more of a steady rhythm of junior high life. After the first quarter exams, there’s a mix of emotions. Some students feel relieved and accomplished, while others quietly promise themselves, “This quarter, I’ll do better.” Teachers share that same moment of reflection asking if their methods truly resonated, if group activities built collaboration, or if more support is needed in writing, science investigations, or math problem-solving. Quarter 2 becomes a chance for both students and teachers to reset, refocus and rise together. And in this journey, the Grade 8 Quarter 2 Lesson Exemplars (LE) serve as guideposts helping teachers plan meaningful lessons and giving learners clear pathways toward growth and confidence.

Lesson Exemplars are carefully designed teaching models aligned with the DepEd MATATAG Curriculum and MELCs. They provide week-by-week learning objectives, activities and assessments that ensure every student is on track with national standards. For teachers, they serve as ready-to-use lesson blueprints. For parents, they give assurance that their children are learning skills and values that matter both in school and real life. With the right balance of academic rigor and practical application, these exemplars help Grade 8 students grow in confidence as they prepare for higher levels of learning.

Each subject in Quarter 2 builds on the foundations of the first quarter while introducing new skills and deeper concepts:

  • English – Learners explore both literary and informational texts, analyzing how tone, mood and point of view shape meaning. Writing tasks move toward argumentative and expository forms, helping students organize ideas logically. Oral communication activities allow them to practice persuasive speaking, which is vital for academic and real-world confidence.
  • Filipino – Lessons deepen appreciation of panitikan, such as epiko, alamat, at maikling kuwento. Students are guided to identify literary elements, infer themes and connect texts to cultural identity. Quarter 2 also emphasizes critical grammar usage and structured writing allowing learners to produce creative and culturally relevant outputs.
  • Mathematics – Quarter 2 focuses on algebraic expressions, linear equations and functions. Students solve contextual word problems that train logical reasoning and application of formulas to everyday scenarios like budgeting, distance-speed-time problems and practical measurements. This ensures mastery not only for tests but also for real-life decision-making.
  • Science – Lessons center on Cell Division (Mitosis and Meiosis), Genetics, and Earth Science concepts such as Plate Tectonics. Learners investigate heredity and real-world phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity. With laboratory activities and performance tasks, Science Quarter 2 strengthens both critical thinking and hands-on problem-solving.
  • Araling Panlipunan (AP) – Grade 8 dives deeper into Asya at Daigdig, highlighting global interconnections. Students analyze trade, cultural exchanges and historical milestones that shaped both the Philippines and neighboring nations. These discussions sharpen civic awareness and global citizenship, aligning with DepEd’s goal of preparing learners for a connected world.
  • EPP/TLE – Hands-on learning continues with specialized strands like ICT (basic programming and productivity tools), Industrial Arts (woodwork or electronics), Agriculture, and Entrepreneurship. These practical skills nurture responsibility and readiness for future careers.
  • MAPEH (Music, Arts, PE, Health) – Music focuses on Asian musical forms, while Arts emphasizes regional art appreciation and design. PE continues skill drills and team sports, promoting cooperation and fitness. Health education covers adolescent health, nutrition, and first aid, crucial as learners navigate their teenage years.
  • Values Education (VE) – Quarter 2 topics highlight positive perspectives on self and sexuality, respect for dignity, and responsible decision-making. These lessons aim to guide learners in building integrity, empathy and accountability, virtues that go beyond academics.

By integrating these, teachers ensure lessons are not only curriculum-compliant but also life-relevant, preparing students for both academic progression and daily challenges.

How to Use These Exemplars Effectively

Lesson Exemplars are not meant to be followed word for word—they’re flexible guides that work best when shaped to your own classroom. Here are some simple but powerful ways to make the most out of them:

  1. Adapt to your learners. Every class is unique. Adjust activities so they fit the needs of your students whether they need more support or are ready for advanced tasks.
  2. Pair with LAS and DLLs. Combine exemplars with Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) and Daily Lesson Logs (DLLs) to create a smoother, more organized flow for both teaching and learning.
  3. Mix formats. Whether your setup is face-to-face, online, or blended, the activities can be tweaked to match your teaching environment.
  4. Foster reflection. End lessons by asking students to connect what they learned to their everyday life. This makes the lesson stick and feel more meaningful.
  5. Add your personal touch. Use the exemplar as a springboard, then bring in your own creativity to keep students curious and engaged.
  6. Plan ahead for tests. Align tasks and activities with the competencies that will appear in the periodical exams to boost confidence and readiness.
  7. Work with colleagues. Share strategies and best practices with fellow teachers so Quarter 2 feels less like a challenge and more like a shared journey.
