Tue 05 May 2026	1Recall prior knowledge of what makes a reliable online source by identifying trustworthy features of websites used in daily life 2Ask learners: What websites do you visit at school or home? Write three site names on the board (e.g. Ghana Education Service website, BBC News, YouTube). Ask: How do you know which one to trust for homework information?	UNDERSTANDING THE FIVE WEB PAGE EVALUATION TECHNIQUES 1Use the projector to display a screenshot of the Ghana News Agency website on the laptop. Ask learners to read the page title, author name, and publication date aloud. Explain: Accuracy means checking if the information is correct and complete; Credibility means the author is trustworthy; Content means the page has useful, relevant information; Currency means it is up to date; Functionality means all buttons and links work properly. Write these five terms on the board and ask learners to copy them into their exercise books with a one-sentence meaning for each 2In pairs, learners receive a printed checklist (or write on board): Does this page show who wrote it? Is the date recent? Are there any broken links? Is the language clear and professional? Learners whisper their answers to their partner, then a representative from three different pairs shares one observation with the class about why checking these things matters when using the internet for schoolwork 3Struggling learners: provide a simpler checklist with only three items (Author, Date, Working Links). Fast finishers can add a fourth item (Language Quality) and discuss why it matters.	1Computer/Laptop 2Projector 3Internet connection 4Printed web page checklist (or board-written copy) 5Exercise books 6Screenshot of Ghana News Agency website	1Learners stand and form two groups. Call out a technique (e.g. 'Currency!'). The group that raises their hands first must shout out what it means in one sentence. Repeat for all five techniques 2Ask: If you were doing a Science project on Ghana's water systems, which technique would you check first — Accuracy, Credibility, or Currency? Why? Learners show thumbs up if they agree with the reason given by the first volunteer who answers Exercise 1Ama found a website about cocoa farming in Ghana. The page has no author name, the last update was 2019, and three links are broken. Which two evaluation techniques show this website is NOT reliable? Name them and explain in two sentences in their exercise books.
Thu 07 May 2026	1Recall the five key techniques for evaluating web pages: Accuracy, Credibility, Content, Currency, and Functionality 2Show learners two website screenshots on the projector — one from a well-known news site (e.g. myjoyonline.com) and one from an unknown blog with poor formatting. Ask: Which website looks more trustworthy and why?	IDENTIFYING AND APPLYING THE FIVE WEB EVALUATION TECHNIQUES 1Open a laptop and projector to display a sample webpage about Ghanaian cocoa farming from two different sources — one from a reputable agricultural ministry website and one from an unnamed forum. Explain each technique: Accuracy (facts are correct), Credibility (author is trusted), Content (information is relevant and complete), Currency (information is recent), and Functionality (links work and page loads properly). Ask learners to identify which technique each source demonstrates better and record their findings in their exercise books 2Distribute printed evaluation checklists to each learner pair. Pairs use the checklist to evaluate a third website (displayed via projector) that you select — perhaps a page about Ghana's education system. They mark yes/no against each of the five techniques and write one sentence explaining their reasoning for each. One representative from each pair shares one finding with the class 3Weaker learners: provide a simplified checklist with simple yes/no boxes only; pair them with a stronger peer to guide their reasoning.	1Computer/Laptop 2Projector 3Internet connection 4Printed evaluation checklists 5Exercise books	1Learners stand if they can name all five evaluation techniques (Accuracy, Credibility, Content, Currency, Functionality); sit if they need more practice. Ask a standing learner to recite all five aloud; class repeats chorally three times 2Show one final website screenshot on the projector of a page Ama might use to research a school project on Makola Market traders. Learners discuss in pairs whether it passes all five evaluation checks and raise their right hand if they think it is trustworthy Exercise 1Learners write a one-paragraph response: Kofi found a webpage claiming that Ghanaian trotro fares are GH₵0.50 everywhere in Accra. Using the five evaluation techniques, explain which technique Kofi should check first to spot this error, and why that technique matters in their exercise books.
