| Learning Indicator(s) | 3.2.1.LI.1 - Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register | ||
| Lesson Focus | Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register accurately. Apply Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register 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 Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register? What would a strong practical/application response to Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Word/sentence cards Short contextual text Grammar editing sheet Dictionary/glossary | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register. | ||
| 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 Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register 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 Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register; learners respond in that language as far as possible. | Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register, and justify it briefly. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Model the exact language feature for Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register—pronunciation, tone, structure, orthography, reading strategy, text organisation or cultural vocabulary—using a short example. | Group words from a short text by root/affix/semantic field or register and explain meaning in context. | Check accuracy in the target language feature, not just participation. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Learners practise Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register through speaking, listening, reading, writing, translation, interview or performance with peer feedback. | Transform or combine sentences to practise the target structure while preserving meaning and correct orthography. | 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 Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register in a new context. | Edit a five-sentence paragraph containing deliberate vocabulary/grammar/register errors and explain three corrections. | 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 Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Advanced vocabulary, figurative expression and register. | ||
