Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Business Management	Week	11
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 1
Strand	Glocal Business	Sub-Strand	International Business and E-Business
Learning Outcome(s)	1.2.2.LO.1 - Explain the key ideas related to business case study and problem solving.
Learning Indicator(s)	1.2.2.LI.8 - Business case study and problem solving
Lesson Focus	Business case study and problem solving
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Business case study and problem solving; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Business case study and problem solving. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Business case study and problem solving accurately. Apply Business case study and problem solving 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 Business case study and problem solving? What would a strong practical/application response to Business case study and problem solving look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Business case study and problem solving?
Pedagogical Strategies	Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment
Teaching & Learning Resources	Local enterprise profile Business case data sheet Decision/briefing template Calculator where needed
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Business case study and problem solving. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Business case study and problem solving.
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	Choose a familiar local business and prepare a one-page evidence table for Business case study and problem solving: observation/evidence, interpretation and recommended action.

Lesson Activities
Stage	Teacher Activity	Learner Activity	Assessment / DoK
Starter10 minutes	Display a short profile of a local shop, farm, service or digital business and ask learners what makes it a business and what evidence they would examine for Business case study and problem solving.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Business case study and problem solving, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Model how to extract facts, stakeholders, objectives and constraints from the enterprise profile before making claims about Business case study and problem solving.	Annotate a profile of a small Ghanaian enterprise and identify the business purpose, customers, inputs, activities, ownership/management choices and evidence relevant to Business case study and problem solving.	Check that claims are tied to facts in the enterprise profile.
Activity 220 minutes	Give groups a richer enterprise case and require a concrete diagnosis/decision linked to Business case study and problem solving, not a list of definitions.	Use a one-page business case with sales, staffing, customer and operating information to diagnose two issues related to Business case study and problem solving and recommend actions with reasons.	Assess diagnosis, feasibility of action and business justification.
Activity 310 minutes	Give each learner a different mini-enterprise card and require a concise evidence-based response on Business case study and problem solving.	Prepare a short management/business briefing for Business case study and problem solving: state the issue, evidence, decision, expected result and one risk/limitation.	Check that the individual briefing identifies a real issue and a defensible response.

Lesson Closure

Return to the local enterprise profile and ask learners to state one fact that supports—and one fact that could weaken—their conclusion about Business case study and problem solving. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Business case study and problem solving.
