Big hole in the ceiling

I have a big hole in the ceiling of my living room caused by a leaky roof. I think we have fixed the leak and want to do at least an "average" job of fixing it myself. If the leak is actually fixed, I do it right. At this point, I don't know where to start, besides knocking down all the loose plaster. Please remember, this house was built in 1922, and frankly, I don't even know what the "cement like" surface is in the middle. This is the ceiling between my first and second floors. Do I just use spackle? patching plaster" or what to start with.
