| Subject | Ghanaian Language | Week | 15 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 1 |
| Strand | Language and Usage | Sub-Strand | Rules of Writing a Ghanaian Language |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 1.2.2.LO.1 - Explain the key ideas related to punctuation and writing conventions. | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 1.2.2.LI.2 - Punctuation and writing conventions | ||
| Lesson Focus | Punctuation and writing conventions | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Punctuation and writing conventions; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Punctuation and writing conventions. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Punctuation and writing conventions accurately. Apply Punctuation and writing conventions 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 Punctuation and writing conventions? What would a strong practical/application response to Punctuation and writing conventions look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Punctuation and writing conventions? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Editing passage Writing-planning frame Orthography checklist Dictionary/glossary | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Punctuation and writing conventions. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Punctuation and writing conventions. | ||
| 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 | Collect or create a short example of Punctuation and writing conventions in the selected Ghanaian language and annotate the feature being studied. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Use an authentic short utterance, word set, passage, image or cultural situation in the selected Ghanaian language connected to Punctuation and writing conventions; learners respond in that language as far as possible. | Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Punctuation and writing conventions, and justify it briefly. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Model the exact language feature for Punctuation and writing conventions—pronunciation, tone, structure, orthography, reading strategy, text organisation or cultural vocabulary—using a short example. | Edit a short flawed paragraph for spelling/orthography, punctuation, paragraphing and sentence boundaries. | Check accuracy in the target language feature, not just participation. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Learners practise Punctuation and writing conventions through speaking, listening, reading, writing, translation, interview or performance with peer feedback. | Plan a real-purpose text (notice, letter, report, narrative, description or argument) using audience, purpose, ideas and structure boxes. | Use a rubric for meaning, accuracy, fluency/coherence and appropriateness to context. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Each learner produces an individual oral/written response that demonstrates Punctuation and writing conventions in a new context. | Write/revise a focused paragraph or short text; peer-edit with a checklist for language accuracy, coherence and appropriate register. | Check independent transfer to the new context and correct one recurring error. |
| Lesson Closure | Ask learners to give one corrected/example sentence or expression that shows what they can now do better in Punctuation and writing conventions. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Punctuation and writing conventions. | ||
