Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Ghanaian Language	Week	9
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 2
Strand	Cultural Practices and Governance	Sub-Strand	Cultural Practices
Learning Outcome(s)	2.3.1.LO.1 - Demonstrate understanding and practical application of Cultural values, rites and changing social practices within the curriculum sub-strand Cultural Practices.
Learning Indicator(s)	2.3.1.LI.1 - Cultural values, rites and changing social practices
Lesson Focus	Cultural values, rites and changing social practices
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Cultural values, rites and changing social practices; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Cultural values, rites and changing social practices. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Cultural values, rites and changing social practices accurately. Apply Cultural values, rites and changing social practices 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 Cultural values, rites and changing social practices? What would a strong practical/application response to Cultural values, rites and changing social practices look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Cultural values, rites and changing social practices?
Pedagogical Strategies	Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment
Teaching & Learning Resources	Cultural photographs/object cards Interview extract Timeline/role-map template Vocabulary list
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Cultural values, rites and changing social practices. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Cultural values, rites and changing social practices.
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 Cultural values, rites and changing social practices 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 Cultural values, rites and changing social practices; learners respond in that language as far as possible.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Cultural values, rites and changing social practices, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Model the exact language feature for Cultural values, rites and changing social practices—pronunciation, tone, structure, orthography, reading strategy, text organisation or cultural vocabulary—using a short example.	Use photographs/object cards/interview notes to identify the roles, values and vocabulary connected to the cultural/governance practice.	Check accuracy in the target language feature, not just participation.
Activity 220 minutes	Learners practise Cultural values, rites and changing social practices through speaking, listening, reading, writing, translation, interview or performance with peer feedback.	Create a process/timeline/role map in the selected Ghanaian language, distinguishing description from personal judgement.	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 Cultural values, rites and changing social practices in a new context.	Prepare three respectful interview questions for an elder/resource person or analyse a supplied interview extract and summarise the key cultural knowledge.	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 Cultural values, rites and changing social practices. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Cultural values, rites and changing social practices.
