| Weekly Learning Plan | |||
| Subject | Ghanaian Language | Week | 9 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 1 |
| Strand | Oral Conversation | Sub-Strand | Reading |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 1.1.3.LO.1 - Explain the key ideas related to reading for information and inference. | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 1.1.3.LI.3 - Reading for information and inference | ||
| Lesson Focus | Reading for information and inference | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Reading for information and inference; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Reading for information and inference. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Reading for information and inference accurately. Apply Reading for information and inference 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 Reading for information and inference? What would a strong practical/application response to Reading for information and inference look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Reading for information and inference? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Short passage in selected Ghanaian language Highlighters Reading-comprehension sheet Dictionary/glossary | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Reading for information and inference. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Reading for information and inference. | ||
| 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 Reading for information and inference 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 Reading for information and inference; learners respond in that language as far as possible. | Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Reading for information and inference, and justify it briefly. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Model the exact language feature for Reading for information and inference—pronunciation, tone, structure, orthography, reading strategy, text organisation or cultural vocabulary—using a short example. | Preview a short curriculum-appropriate passage; predict content from title/key words and mark unfamiliar vocabulary. | Check accuracy in the target language feature, not just participation. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Learners practise Reading for information and inference through speaking, listening, reading, writing, translation, interview or performance with peer feedback. | Read aloud/in pairs for tone and phrasing, then annotate main idea, supporting details, inference and writer purpose. | 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 Reading for information and inference in a new context. | Answer one literal and one inferential question, citing a word/phrase from the passage as evidence. | 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 Reading for information and inference. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Reading for information and inference. | ||
