Key Notes on Differentiation
ContentProvide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Cultural continuity, change and documentation of local knowledge. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Cultural continuity, change and documentation of local knowledge.
ProcessUse 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.
ProductUse 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 CriteriaThe 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.
HomeworkCollect or create a short example of Cultural continuity, change and documentation of local knowledge in the selected Ghanaian language and annotate the feature being studied.
