Mon 25 May 2026	1Recall the definitions of nouns, pronouns and adjectives in Akan using familiar classroom vocabulary 2Show five picture cards: abɔde (stone), ɔbarima (man), kɔkɔ (red), aduana (door), me (me). Ask learners to whisper to their partner: Yei yɛ abɔdeε anaa ɔkamfo anaa suabɔ? (Is this a noun, pronoun or adjective?) Learners raise hands to respond chorally	IDENTIFYING AND TRANSLATING NOUNS, PRONOUNS AND ADJECTIVES IN AKAN 1Write on the board: Ama din de Ama. Ɔ yɛ ɔbaa kɔkɔ. Ɔ wɔ bɔ wɔ sukuu no mu. Using the Textbook example page, read each sentence aloud. Underline abɔdeε (Ama, ɔbaa, sukuu) in one colour, ɔkamfo (ɔ) in another, and suabɔ (kɔkɔ) in a third. Ask: Sɛ yeisom no din de English, ɔbea kɔkɔ no din de ade? Invite a confident learner to translate the full sentence: Ama is a girl. She is red/beautiful. She is in school 2Distribute Exercise books and Audio recordings. Play the audio with five short Akan noun phrases: nwisieso kɔkɔ (red book), ɔpanin ɔdenkyɛm (old man), mma a wɔn din de Kwesi ne Ebo (children named Kwesi and Ebo). Learners write each phrase in their Exercise book, then draw a line to match: abɔdeε, suabɔ, abɔdeε. Pairs check each other's work. A volunteer from each group shares one match with the class 3Struggling learners work with the first two phrases only and sort them into picture categories (nouns = things, pronouns = he/she, adjectives = colours/sizes). Fast finishers create one new phrase using the pattern: abɔdeε + suabɔ (e.g. sɛɛ duu = big stone) and present to a partner.	1Textbook 2Audio recordings 3Exercise book	1Display the five words from the starter again: abɔde, ɔbarima, kɔkɔ, aduana, me. Learners stand and sort themselves into three groups by word type (nouns, pronouns, adjectives) based on the cards you distribute. Each group repeats their word and its English translation three times chorally 2Ask: Yei so, munhu se enhu suabɔ a ɛfra abɔdeε no no? (Today, did you see how adjectives describe nouns?) Show one example: sukuu — abɔde. Sukuu a ɛyɛ akɛseε — abɔde + suabɔ. Learners whisper their own example to their partner Exercise 1Translate this sentence into Akan using at least one noun, one pronoun and one adjective: The old woman is kind. (Expected response: Ɔpanin no yɛ ɔbea. Ɔ din de Abena. Ɔ yɛ sum.) in their exercise books.
Tue 26 May 2026	1Recall vocabulary for common English nouns, pronouns and adjectives learned in Day 1 by matching them to their Akan equivalents 2Show 5 picture cards (woman, man, child, apple, book) on the board. Ask learners to call out the Akan name for each aloud together, without writing. Listen for accuracy and correct any mispronunciations	TRANSLATING NOUNS, PRONOUNS AND ADJECTIVES IN SIMPLE SENTENCES 1Open the Textbook to the word list for Day 2. Read aloud three sentences: 'Ama is a teacher. She is kind. The school is big.' Write each on the board. Learners copy into their exercise books and underline the noun, circle the pronoun and box the adjective in each sentence using different colours. Check one sentence together: 'Ama' (noun, underlined), 'is' (verb), 'teacher' (noun), 'She' (pronoun), 'kind' (adjective), 'school' (noun), 'big' (adjective) 2In pairs, learners translate each of the three sentences into Akan using the Textbook word list. Write on the board: 'Ama yɛ ɔkrafoↄ. Ɔno yɛ dɔ. Sukuu no yɛ akɛseɛ.' Pairs check their own work against the board version. Ask one representative from each pair to read aloud one translated sentence. Weaker learners work with only the first sentence and copy the translation directly from the board before moving to pairing 3Struggling learners focus on the first sentence only and work with teacher support to identify parts of speech before translating.	1Textbook 2Exercise book 3Picture cards (5 items)	1Learners stand in a circle. Call out an English noun or adjective (e.g. 'small', 'father', 'happy'). First three learners to whisper the Akan equivalent to you get a tick on the class list. Repeat five times with different words 2Ask learners to sit and show thumbs up if they found translating adjectives easy, thumbs down if they found it hard, thumbs sideways if they found it medium. Acknowledge all three groups and tell learners they will practise adjectives more in Day 3 Exercise 1Translate into Akan: 1. Kwame is my brother. 2. The car is red. Write your answers in your exercise book and underline the pronoun in each sentence
Fri 29 May 2026	1Recall nouns, pronouns and adjectives in Akan (Asante Twi) from Days 1 and 2 of this week's lessons 2Display three flashcards on the board showing: abɔ (apple), Ama (Ama), dɛ (is). Ask learners to whisper to their partner which card shows a noun, which shows a pronoun, and which shows a verb. Invite one learner from each pair to call out their answer chorally with the class	TRANSLATION OF WORDS AND PHRASES: NOUNS, PRONOUNS AND ADJECTIVES 1Display five English words in the Textbook: 'girl', 'he', 'tall', 'mother', 'beautiful'. Learners write the Akan (Asante Twi) translation in their Exercise books: ɔbaa, ɔno, soɔ, na/maame, fɛ. Play the Audio recording twice to confirm pronunciation. Ask one learner who is unsure to read aloud after the recording, with a peer supporting 2Write this English phrase on the board: 'The clever boy'. Learners translate to Akan (Asante Twi) in pairs: 'ɔbarimma nyansa'. Pairs compare their answer with the Textbook translation. Ask one representative from each group to share whether their answer matched. Discuss why adjective placement differs between English and Akan (Asante Twi) 3Struggling learners: work with single nouns only (ɔbaa, baako, dua). Fast finishers: translate a full simple sentence using the Textbook model sentences.	1Textbook 2Audio recordings 3Exercise book	1Learners stand in a line. Call out an English word (e.g. 'sister', 'tall', 'they'). The first three learners to raise their hand translate it to Akan (Asante Twi). Class confirms by repeating chorally three times 2Ask learners to whisper their favourite translated word or phrase from today's lesson to a partner, then show thumbs up if they feel confident translating nouns, pronouns and adjectives from English to Akan (Asante Twi) Exercise 1Translate these three items from English to Akan (Asante Twi) in your Exercise book: (1) 'The old farmer', (2) 'We', (3) 'Beautiful cloth'.
