This second quarter of the school year, Grade 8 learners enter a stage where the pace of junior high accelerates. The routines established in the first quarter evolve into a more demanding set of expectations with students expected to manage greater academic challenges while strengthening their independence and responsibility. To guide both teachers and learners in this critical stage, the Grade 8 Quarter 2 Lesson Exemplars (LEs) provide structured, standards-based learning resources fully aligned with the Department of Education’s MATATAG Curriculum.

What Are Lesson Exemplars?

Lesson Exemplars are comprehensive teaching frameworks that ensure every lesson follows the Content Standards, Performance Standards and Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) prescribed by DepEd.

For Teachers: They act as blueprints for planning lessons, assessments and activities, streamlining classroom preparation.

For Learners: They ensure consistency and clarity in learning, helping students focus on essential competencies while connecting concepts to real-life applications.

The Grade 8 Quarter 2 Lesson Exemplars are structured to cover eight weeks of instruction, promoting mastery through progressive, well-sequenced lessons.

Grade 8 Quarter 2 Lesson Exemplars Coverage

The Grade 8 Quarter 2 Lesson Exemplars are carefully mapped across subjects to integrate academic rigor with practical application.

  • In English 8, learners analyze literary and informational texts, focusing on tone, mood and point of view. Writing tasks emphasize argumentative and expository forms enabling students to structure logical ideas and evidence-based arguments. Oral communication activities, such as debates and persuasive speeches, strengthen fluency and build academic confidence.
  • For Filipino 8, lessons highlight epiko, alamat, and maikling kuwento, guiding students to examine literary elements and themes while connecting texts to cultural identity. Critical grammar instruction ensures proper language use, while structured and creative writing outputs enhance fluency and reinforce pride in Filipino heritage.
  • In Mathematics 8, focus is placed on algebraic expressions, linear equations and functions. Learners apply formulas and problem-solving strategies to contextual word problems such as budgeting, distance-rate-time scenarios and measurements, strengthening both accuracy and logical reasoning.
  • Science 8 centers on cell division (mitosis and meiosis), genetics, and Earth science concepts, particularly plate tectonics. Students investigate heredity and natural phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity. Through laboratory experiments and performance-based tasks, learners develop scientific inquiry skills and critical thinking.
  • For Araling Panlipunan 8, lessons explore Asya at Daigdig with emphasis on historical milestones, trade systems, and cultural exchanges. Students analyze how civilizations influence one another and connect these insights to the Philippines’ regional and global role. These discussions cultivate civic awareness and global citizenship.
  • EPP/TLE 8 introduces practical specializations including ICT (basic programming and productivity tools), Agriculture, Industrial Arts, and Entrepreneurship. Through hands-on tasks, students build self-reliance, resourcefulness, and career-readiness skills applicable beyond the classroom.
  • MAPEH 8 integrates Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health. Music introduces Asian musical traditions, while Arts emphasizes regional design and cultural expression. PE promotes teamwork and discipline through sports and fitness activities. Health addresses adolescent concerns such as nutrition, personal hygiene, and first aid, equipping learners with essential life skills.
  • Finally, Values Education (VE) in Quarter 2 emphasizes respect, dignity, responsibility, and positive decision-making. Learners engage in discussions, reflections, and real-life scenarios that promote integrity, empathy, and accountability, ensuring holistic development beyond academics.

Why Are Grade 8 Quarter 2 Lesson Exemplars Important?

Quarter 2 in Grade 8 is a stage where abstract concepts begin to demand higher-order thinking. Algebra, genetics, and argumentative writing serve as foundations for future high school courses. At the same time, lessons in Values Education, MAPEH and TLE ensure that students balance intellectual growth with character formation and practical skills.

By combining academic rigor with real-world application, the Grade 8 Quarter 2 Lesson Exemplars guarantee that students are not only exam-ready but also equipped for everyday challenges and long-term learning success.
