| Weekly Learning Plan | |||
| Subject | Food and Nutrition | Week | 13 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 1 |
| Strand | Nutrition and Health | Sub-Strand | Food Security |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 1.1.2.LO.1 - Explain the key ideas related to reducing food waste and improving food security. | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 1.1.2.LI.5 - Reducing food waste and improving food security | ||
| Lesson Focus | Reducing food waste and improving food security | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Reducing food waste and improving food security; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Reducing food waste and improving food security. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Reducing food waste and improving food security accurately. Apply Reducing food waste and improving food security independently to a new case, data set, text, material or performance situation. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What evidence or procedure is needed to work accurately with Reducing food waste and improving food security? What would a strong practical/application response to Reducing food waste and improving food security look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Reducing food waste and improving food security? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Sample preserved foods/pictures Packaging samples Food-storage chart Preservation planning sheet | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Reducing food waste and improving food security. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Reducing food waste and improving food security. | ||
| Process | Use mixed-ability pairs for the first application, then require an individual transfer task. Allow oral/visual demonstration where appropriate while retaining the same subject accuracy criteria. | ||
| Product | Use a checklist/rubric tied to the concrete output for this week rather than participation alone. For advanced work, require justification with evidence, calculations, source reference or quality criteria. | ||
| Success Criteria | The learner uses correct subject terminology and evidence. The learner completes the week’s concrete product/calculation/performance with acceptable accuracy. The learner explains why the procedure/choice fits the stated context rather than giving a memorised general answer. | ||
| Homework | Photograph, sketch or describe one home/community example of Reducing food waste and improving food security; analyse it using two curriculum criteria and recommend one improvement. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Display a food sample, label, menu, recipe or processing image directly related to Reducing food waste and improving food security; ask learners to identify one nutrition/science/safety issue it raises. | Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Reducing food waste and improving food security, and justify it briefly. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Demonstrate or analyse the critical food-science/nutrition steps for Reducing food waste and improving food security, explicitly linking each step to the expected food or health outcome. | Inspect samples/pictures of dried, frozen, fermented, canned or bottled foods and identify the preservation principle used. | Check the learner’s identification of the food/nutrition principle and use of evidence. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Learners complete a practical, experiment, menu/recipe, preservation, packaging or product task that applies Reducing food waste and improving food security with measured observations. | Design a preservation-and-packaging plan for fish, pepper, cassava or maize, including preparation, method, packaging, storage and safety checks. | Assess process control, hygiene/safety, measurements, result and explanation. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Give an individual food case requiring a specific recommendation or calculation about Reducing food waste and improving food security. | Compare two package materials for moisture/grease/air protection, cost, re-use and waste; recommend one for a stated food. | Check whether the recommendation fits the person/food/context rather than being generic. |
| Lesson Closure | Ask learners to state one process variable (time, temperature, quantity, ingredient, storage or person need) that must be controlled for success in Reducing food waste and improving food security. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Reducing food waste and improving food security. | ||
