Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Agriculture	Week	11
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 2
Strand	Modern Technical and Mechanised Agriculture	Sub-Strand	Modern Mechanised Agriculture
Learning Outcome(s)	2.2.2.LO.2 - Use the knowledge and skills acquired to operate a simple harvest and post-harvest implements and machinery.
Learning Indicator(s)	2.2.2.LI.3 - Describe the parts and functions of the irrigation and drainage system in Agriculture production and demonstrate the skills of operating them. Enquiry-based learning: Learners in gender-based groups surf the internet to come up with information on the parts and functions of an irrigation and drainage system in Agricultural production.
Lesson Focus	Describe the parts and functions of the irrigation and drainage system in Agriculture production and demonstrate the skills of operating them.
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts.
Lesson Objective(s)	Describe the key idea in: Describe the parts and functions of the irrigation and drainage system in Agriculture production and demonstrate the skills of operating them. Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance.
Essential Question(s)	What do we need to understand or demonstrate about Describe the parts and functions of the irrigation and drainage system in Agriculture production and demonstrate the skills of operating them. Enquiry-based learning: Learners in gender-based groups surf the internet to come up with information on the parts and functions of an irrigation and drainage system in Agricultural production.? How does this knowledge or skill apply to agriculture in the learner's community and Ghana? What evidence can we use to justify an agricultural decision or conclusion?
Pedagogical Strategies	Project-Based Learning
Teaching & Learning Resources	Functional internet connectivity, Computer Pen Notebook Textbooks on Agricultural Irrigation and Drainage Systems Picture or charts showing different types of irrigation and drainage systems Sprinklers Watering cans Pipes Irrigation tiles Drip irrigation lines Overhead water tank Dugout Video/pictures of irrigation and drainage systems used in Agricultural production [[PAGE 139]] AGRICULTURE \| 137 Content Standards Learning Indicators and Pedagogical Exemplars with 21st Century and GESI Assessment 2.2.2.CS.2
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Use concrete examples, labelled pictures, realia or simplified prompts for learners who need additional support. Extend confident learners with comparison, investigation, calculation, evaluation or enterprise-oriented tasks drawn from the same indicator.
Process	Use mixed-ability and mixed-gender grouping where appropriate, with meaningful roles for every learner. Adapt field visits, internet research or specialised equipment to locally available alternatives without changing the curriculum objective.
Product	Allow appropriate evidence such as practical demonstration, portfolio, table, report, poster, presentation, field notes or written response. Assess agricultural accuracy, procedure, evidence, collaboration and justification.
Success Criteria	Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation.
Homework	Complete a short application task connected to the week's learning indicator.

Lesson Activities
Stage	Teacher Activity	Learner Activity	Assessment / DoK
Starter10 minutes	Show a farm tool, crop/animal example, photo or local farming scenario linked to modern mechanised agriculture and ask learners what problem it addresses.	Share prior knowledge, listen to peers and record the lesson question in their notebooks.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Explain modern mechanised agriculture using a farm-based example, labelled diagram, sample material or practical demonstration.	Observe the example, ask questions and record important agricultural terms.	Ask learners to identify the tool, practice, benefit or risk shown in the example.
Activity 220 minutes	Guide groups to classify, measure, plan, compare or recommend a practice related to modern mechanised agriculture.	Work in groups to complete the classification, measurement, planning or recommendation task.	Review group work for correct agricultural vocabulary and practical reasoning.
Activity 310 minutes	Give a local farm case and ask learners to choose an appropriate practice or solution.	Apply the idea to the local farm case and justify the selected practice.	Use an exit question on how the practice can improve farm productivity or safety.

Lesson Closure

Summarise modern mechanised agriculture and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response.
