Fri 20 Mar 2026	1Recall the key steps in a traditional child naming ceremony from prior community knowledge. 2Ask learners: Wobɛ din de3 na eye ade3 bi abuotsu wɔ ɔman yi? (What naming process do you know in your community?) — learners whisper answers to their partner. 3Display three pictures (outdooring, blessing, gift-giving) on the board — learners point and name each step aloud in Nzema.	UNDERSTANDING THE NAMING PROCESS 1Play the audio recording from the Textbook showing a traditional naming ceremony dialogue between Ama's grandmother and the family — learners follow in the Learners Resource Pack and list three things they heard (outdooring, invitation of ancestors, giving the name). 2Read aloud from the Textbook: 'Adinkra sɛ: Abuotsu yɛ ade3 bi a3ba ma abɔfoɔ' (A naming ceremony is a gift for the family) — learners repeat chorally three times. 3Ask: Ɔba la3 din ade3 a yɛ din ɔba no la3? (What is the name given to the child during this process?) — learners write their answer in Exercise book. IDENTIFYING ITEMS USED IN THE NAMING CEREMONY 4Display a chart showing items: Water, Basket, Beads, Powder, Lantern, Clothes — read each aloud: 'Nsuman a wɔfa to abuotsu de3 mu' (Things used in the naming ceremony). 5Learners match each item to its use using the Textbook exemplars — write pairs in Exercise book (e.g. Water = purification, Beads = protection). 6Call on one representative from each pair to share one matched item aloud to the class.	1Textbook 2Audio recordings 3Exercise book	1Learners work in pairs and arrange four sequence cards (from Textbook) showing: Outdooring → Invitation of Ancestors → Naming → Blessing — discuss why order matters. 2A volunteer comes to the board and draws one item used in naming (water, basket, or beads) while class guesses in Nzema. Exercise 1Write in your Exercise book: Adinkra abuotsu de3 mu, ade3 bi na wɔfa to mu — name two items and explain their meaning in the ceremony.
