will be assessed on their ability to understand the practical applications of executive powers.
Note: For all lesson plans, it's essential to encourage critical thinking, class participation, and
fostering a safe environment for students to express their opinions and ideas. Also, adjust the
difficulty level and depth of discussion to suit the senior high school grade level
Lesson Plan 1: Understanding the Roles and Responsibilities of the Philippine Senate and the
House of Representatives
Objective: Students will differentiate the roles and responsibilities of the Philippine Senate and
the House of Representatives.
Activities:
1. Introduction Activity: Begin the lesson with a KWL (Know-Want to know-Learned)
chart. Ask students to write down what they already know about the Senate and the
House of Representatives. Then, have them list what they want to know or understand
better about these institutions.
2. Venn Diagram: Provide students with a Venn diagram template with two intersecting
circles representing the Senate and the House of Representatives. In small groups,
students will research and fill in the differences and similarities between the two
legislative bodies in terms of their roles and responsibilities.
3. Role-Playing: Divide the class into two groups, with one group representing the Senate
and the other representing the House of Representatives. Assign a specific legislative
proposal (e.g., a bill related to education or health) to each group. Students will role-play
debates, discussions, and voting processes as they try to pass or reject the proposed bills.
Test: Create a quiz that includes matching questions, where students need to match specific roles
and responsibilities to either the Senate or the House of Representatives. Include short-answer
questions that ask students to explain the differences between the two chambers.
Lesson Plan 2: Case Studies on the Senate and the House of Representatives
Objective: Students will analyze real-life scenarios to understand how the Philippine Senate and
the House of Representatives fulfill their roles and responsibilities.
Activities:
1. Case Studies: Provide students with several case studies that involve legislative processes
and decision-making in the Philippine Senate and the House of Representatives. The case
studies should cover a variety of topics such as budget allocation, policymaking, and

identify how each legislative body plays its role.
2. Guest Speaker: Invite a former or current member of the Philippine Senate or the House
of Representatives to speak to the class about their experiences and the legislative
processes they encountered during their tenure. Students can ask questions and gain
insights into the real-world functioning of these institutions.
3. Debate: Organize a debate on a current or relevant issue in the Philippines that falls under
the jurisdiction of the legislative bodies. Divide the class into two teams, with one team
representing the Senate's perspective and the other representing the House of
Representatives. Encourage students to research and prepare their arguments based on the
roles and responsibilities of their respective chambers.
Test: Design a test that includes scenarios related to the Philippine Senate and the House of
Representatives. Students will be required to analyze the situations and propose appropriate

legislative bodies.
Objective: Students will be able to differentiate the roles and responsibilities of the Philippine
