Overview of Grade 8 Quarter 3 Week 1 Lesson Exemplar

The Grade 8 Quarter 3 Week 1 Lesson Exemplar introduces students to a new phase of learning that combines academic mastery with practical and values-based understanding under the MATATAG Curriculum. Each subject area presents engaging lessons that cultivate higher-order thinking, creativity and character development. From exploring the depths of literature and Earth’s crust to understanding honesty, wellness and Asian artistry, the week encourages learners to connect knowledge with real-life applications and ethical decision-making.

By the end of Week 1, learners are expected to:

  • Demonstrate comprehension of key historical, scientific and cultural concepts.
  • Apply analytical, communicative and collaborative skills through interactive tasks.
  • Exhibit integrity, wellness and respect for cultural heritage in both academic and personal actions.
  • Integrate learned skills across disciplines, such as applying scientific inquiry to environmental issues, or using artistic expression to interpret history and human experience.

These objectives align with DepEd’s goal of nurturing well-rounded learners—academically competent, morally upright, and globally aware.
