Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Food and Nutrition	Week	4
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 2
Strand	Nutrition and Health	Sub-Strand	Food for Healthy Living
Learning Outcome(s)	2.1.1.LO.1 - Demonstrate understanding and practical application of Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application within the curriculum sub-strand Food for Healthy Living.
Learning Indicator(s)	2.1.1.LI.2 - Diet-related diseases and their causes
Lesson Focus	Diet-related diseases and their causes
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application accurately. Apply Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application 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 Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application? What would a strong practical/application response to Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application?
Pedagogical Strategies	Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment
Teaching & Learning Resources	Ghanaian food cards/realia Food labels Meal-planning sheet Ghana six-food-group chart
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application.
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	Photograph, sketch or describe one home/community example of Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application; analyse it using two curriculum criteria and recommend one improvement.

Lesson Activities
Stage	Teacher Activity	Learner Activity	Assessment / DoK
Starter10 minutes	Present an unseen case/material set for Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application using Ghanaian food cards/realia; do not model the solution. Ask learners to identify the first decision, calculation, language feature or practical step.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Give fresh data/materials for Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application and require learners to complete the subject-specific task without a worked example.	Use a person/family case (age, activity, health condition and budget) to modify a menu and justify ingredient/cooking choices. Use the fresh case/materials and show all evidence, workings or process decisions.	Check independent transfer: correct method/technique, use of evidence and completeness of the concrete output.
Activity 220 minutes	Have pairs exchange outputs for Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application; provide a quality-control checklist tied to the actual product/calculation/performance and require evidence-based corrections.	Evaluate a food label/menu or 24-hour intake and write two specific improvements linked to health evidence. Then peer-audit another output, identify one precise defect/error and propose a correction.	Score both the original output and the accuracy of the peer correction against the subject checklist.
Activity 310 minutes	Present one deliberately flawed example related to Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application; require each learner to locate the defect and produce the corrected version.	Identify the exact error/weakness in the flawed Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application example, correct it and write one sentence explaining why the correction is valid.	Check that the learner corrects the actual defect rather than merely rewriting the example.

Lesson Closure

Compare the model criteria with the errors found in the unseen Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application task; highlight the one quality check learners should carry into future work. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Diet-related diseases and their causes — practical/application.
