Lesson Activities by Day

Date	Phase 1: Starter (5 mins) Preparing the brain	Phase 2: Main (20 mins) New learning + assessment	Resources	Phase 3: Plenary (5 mins) Reflection + exercise
Wed 11 Mar 2026	1Show learners a blank PowerPoint slide on the projector. Ask: What can we add to make this slide more interesting for an audience? 2Display two slides side by side—one text-only, one with images. Ask learners to vote with thumbs which is clearer and why. 3Quick poll: Raise your hand if you have taken a screenshot on your phone or laptop before. What did you use it for?	INSERTING PICTURES FROM FILES INTO POWERPOINT 1Open PowerPoint on the projector and create a new slide. Click the Insert tab and point to the Pictures button. Demonstrate clicking 'Pictures' and navigating to a sample image file (e.g., a photo of cocoa farming or a Ghanaian landmark). Show the full steps: Insert > Pictures > Browse > Select file > Insert. 2Distribute laptops. Learners open PowerPoint and create a blank presentation. Ask each learner to insert one picture from the sample folder provided (teacher pre-downloads 5-6 images: Cape Coast Castle, cocoa pods, trotro, market scene, cassava farm, Lake Volta). Circulate to check correct use of Insert tab. 3Once inserted, ask learners to observe the picture. Point out the selection handles (small squares) around the image and explain these are used for resizing. Model dragging a corner handle to resize proportionally. 4Use Ghanaian landmark and crop images to maintain cultural relevance and student engagement. INSERTING SCREENSHOTS AND USING CLIPART 5Demonstrate how to insert a screenshot using Insert > Screenshots. Open a simple webpage (e.g., GES results portal or a news article) in the background, then take a screenshot of it and insert into the slide. Explain when screenshots are useful (e.g., to show a completed online task or evidence of research). 6Show learners how to access ClipArt: Insert > Icons or Illustrations (depending on Office version). Search for a keyword like 'farm' or 'market' and insert a ClipArt image. Explain that ClipArt is a ready-made graphic useful when a real photo is not available. 7Learners try inserting one screenshot and one ClipArt image on their slides. Teacher circulates to support struggling learners and ensure correct navigation through the menus. 8Screenshots and ClipArt introduce variety in image sources; demonstrate both file-based and built-in options.	1Computer/Laptop with PowerPoint installed 2Projector connected to teacher's laptop 3Sample image folder (5-6 Ghanaian landmark/crop photos pre-downloaded) 4Internet connection for ClipArt access 5Textbook reference page on Insert tab features	1Ask learners: Show me one picture you inserted. Which method did you use—file browser, screenshot, or ClipArt? Why? 2Pair-share: Turn to a neighbour and explain in one sentence how to insert a picture from your computer. Exercise 1Learner task: Open PowerPoint, insert one picture from the sample folder, and write the name of the image file below it. Save the file as YourName_Images.pptx. (Assessment: Can the learner locate and insert a picture successfully?)
