What to Expect in Grade 8 Quarter 3 Lesson Exemplars
The Grade 8 Quarter 3 Lesson Exemplars under the MATATAG Curriculum highlight the integration of academic rigor, creativity and moral development. Across the eight weeks, lessons are designed to strengthen critical thinking, communication, collaboration and compassion. Learners engage in real-world tasks, from writing opinion editorials and analyzing poetry to studying volcanic activity and solving linear equations, preparing them to become globally aware and value-oriented citizens.
Each week fosters 21st-century competencies such as reasoning, media literacy and empathy, ensuring that learning is both intellectually challenging and culturally rooted. The overarching goal is to balance cognitive growth with the development of discipline, wellness and Filipino identity.
Grade 8 Quarter 3 Key Learning Areas and Focus
English 8 encourages mastery of both creative and analytical communication. Students progress from analyzing opinion editorials and multimedia texts to composing persuasive articles and interpreting literature such as Lupang Tinubuan. By Quarter’s end, they demonstrate clear, critical and ethical writing aligned with civic awareness.
Filipino 8 revisits the Panahon ng Hapon, exploring Haiku, Tanka, and Tanaga as poetic forms reflecting Filipino resilience and emotional depth. Learners also engage with dramatic works like Francisco Rodrigo’s Sa Pula, Sa Puti, fostering appreciation of language and moral reflection through performance and analysis.
Mathematics 8 builds logical reasoning through linear equations, inequalities and systems in one or two variables. Each topic transitions from basic computation to graphing and real-life problem solving, covering budget, motion and investment scenarios that show the practical value of mathematics.
Science 8 emphasizes earth and environmental systems from volcanoes and typhoons to plate tectonics and celestial movement. Learners connect natural phenomena to disaster preparedness, scientific inquiry and responsible decision-making through hands-on experiments and simulations.
Araling Panlipunan 8 guides students through the aftermath of global conflicts, World War I, World War II and the Cold War, before exploring Asian regionalism and democratic movements. This historical lens deepens understanding of civic duty, peace and global cooperation.
TLE 8 transitions from beauty care and wellness to garment making and handicraft production. Learners gain entrepreneurial skills, apply workplace safety standards and link creativity with sustainability and gender equality goals.
Values Education 8 centers on harmony, empathy and social responsibility. Lessons on self-respect, community service, animal care and global citizenship teach ethical awareness anchored in Filipino virtues.
Music, Arts, PE, and Health (MAPEH 8) nurture creativity and wellness through Asian music, indigenous dances, fitness activities and discussions on psychoactive substances. Students appreciate art as a reflection of culture and wellness as a lifelong pursuit.
Grade 8 Teaching and Learning Procedures
Quarter 3 lessons employ inquiry-based and performance-oriented instruction. Teachers begin by activating prior knowledge through games, visuals, or discussions, followed by concept exploration using direct instruction or guided discovery. Deepening activities include group analysis, problem solving, experiments, dramatizations and cultural performances. Examples include:
- Interpreting editorial cartoons and creating original Tanka or Tanaga (English & Filipino)
- Conducting viscosity experiments and mapping typhoon paths (Science)
- Graphing systems of equations and interpreting slope-intercept forms (Math)
- Performing Bumayah and analyzing WWII case studies (MAPEH & AP)
- The teaching cycle culminates in reflection—journals, peer sharing, or portfolio presentations that connect classroom learning with moral and social application.
