| Weekly Learning Plan | |||
| Subject | Christian Religious Studies | Week | 1 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 1 |
| Strand | Religious Beliefs, Practices, Moral Values and Human Development | Sub-Strand | Major Beliefs of Christianity |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 1.2.1.LO.1 - Explain the key ideas related to christian moral values. | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 1.2.1.LI.9 - Christian moral values | ||
| Lesson Focus | Christian moral values | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Christian moral values; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Christian moral values. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Christian moral values accurately. Apply Christian moral values 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 Christian moral values? What would a strong practical/application response to Christian moral values look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Christian moral values? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Selected Bible references Concept/value cards Case-study sheet Notebook | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Christian moral values. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Christian moral values. | ||
| 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 | Write a short case response on Christian moral values: identify the issue, state one relevant Christian principle and propose a practical action with justification. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Present a short, respectful case or selected Bible reference connected to Christian moral values; ask learners what question the case raises for belief and conduct. | Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Christian moral values, and justify it briefly. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Guide close reading/analysis of selected Bible references and curriculum concepts for Christian moral values; avoid relying on unsupported opinion or long quotation. | Use selected Bible references and concept cards to define and distinguish the beliefs/values in Christian moral values. | Check accurate identification of the relevant belief/value/source and respectful use of terminology. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Learners apply Christian moral values to a realistic ethical, historical, community or development case and support their reasoning with relevant Christian principles. | Apply the beliefs/values to a realistic Ghanaian school/community case, identifying a defensible action and its likely consequences. | Assess reasoning, relevance of the faith principle, awareness of consequences and respect for diversity. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Each learner gives an individual reasoned response to a new case or source question on Christian moral values. | Write a reasoned response that cites the relevant Christian principle and explains how it should shape conduct. | Check whether the response applies rather than merely repeats a belief statement. |
| Lesson Closure | Ask learners to distinguish one belief/principle learned in Christian moral values from the concrete behaviour it should influence. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Christian moral values. | ||
