These steps should be done across the week. Spread out the activities appropriately so that students will learn
well. Always be guided by demonstration of learning by the students which you can infer from formative
assessment activities. Sustain learning systematically by providing students with multiple ways to learn new
things, practice their learning, question their learning processes, and draw conclusions about what they learned
in relation to their life experiences and previous knowledge. Indicate the time allotment for each step.
