Grade 9 Daily Lesson Log (DLL) Term 2

As Term 2 will start on September 16, 2026, teachers are busy preparing their DLL for Week 1. We understand that it might be challenging for you to master crafting a DLL using the ILAW Framework. For example, your Daily Lesson Log might need significant revisions after a year or require updates to align with new curricular trends and directions brought by the Matatag Curriculum in other grade levels. Remember, other grade levels are now following the revised K to 10 MATATAG Program with streamlined competencies. To support this transition, we’re sharing the updated Grade 9 Daily Lesson Log (DLL) for Term 2, ready-to-use and editable. These DLLs are aligned with the Revised K to 10 Curriculum.

Whether you’re a seasoned teacher or new to Grade 9, these DLLs help you deliver organized, effective, and learner-centered instruction. It is essential to be aware of some of the key features of the DLL. The Daily Lesson Log (DLL) is a teacher’s tool used to plan and organize daily classroom instruction. It outlines the lesson’s objectives, content, learning activities, assessment methods, and required materials. The Department of Education (DepEd) requires the DLL to ensure that lessons align with the curriculum standards and promote effective teaching and learning in the classroom.

The Revised K-10 Curriculum for Grade 9 Term 2

DepEd reduced the original K–12 Basic Education Program into the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to implement them for Grade 9 in School Year 2025–2026. As other grade levels now follow the MATATAG Curriculum, Grade 9 teachers need to remember the target learning outcomes specified in the MELCs.

The target outcomes of Grade 9 Term 2 in the Revised K-10 Curriculum focus on strengthening students’ analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and ability to apply concepts in real-life situations. Learners deepen their understanding of interconnected systems, express ideas effectively through various forms of communication, and appreciate cultural and environmental influences. The competencies also aim to develop responsible decision-making, collaboration, and creativity across learning areas, preparing students for more advanced concepts in the succeeding quarters.

Overview of Learning Areas for Grade 9 in Term 2

Always remember, Grade 9 will still use the updated BoW based on the Three-Term School Calendar. We want to inform you that the Daily Lesson Logs (DLLs) uploaded here are based on the Revised K-10 Curriculum. Also, we made the necessary revisions to update these DLLs to reflect the latest changes in DepEd policies. We are unable to individually enumerate all the competencies used in our Daily Lesson Logs. Nevertheless, you can see below the content and performance standards for Grade 9 in Term 2.

ILAW Framework

Planning impactful lessons does not require overcomplicating your teaching process. The Department of Education (DepEd) uses the ILAW Framework—a practical, streamlined approach to lesson design that keeps learning focused, manageable, and effective. Whether you use different terminology in your existing lesson plans or follow DepEd templates, as long as you cover these four core components, your teaching aligns perfectly with standard pedagogical practices.

You begin with Intentions, where you focus on unpacking the learning competencies. Before stepping into the classroom, you verify whether the goals are clear and manageable within your time period while considering your students’ prior knowledge, skills, and context. Next, you build the Learning Experience by choosing instructional patterns—such as Pre-During-Post, 6Es, or 5As—that help learners reach those target intentions. You keep these experiences simple and purpose-driven, knowing that every lesson does not need technology, group work, or complex games to work.

To ensure your students grasp the concepts, you incorporate Assessing Learning continuously throughout the lesson instead of waiting until the end. You track comprehension using quick quizzes, exit slips, discussions, drills, or simple teacher observations. Finally, you determine your Ways Forward through post-lesson reflection. You document short notes on what worked and what failed, using classroom evidence to decide whether you should reteach, remediate, enrich, or move ahead to the next topic.
