Lesson Activities by Day

Date	Phase 1: Starter (7 mins) Preparing the brain	Phase 2: Main (20 mins) New learning + assessment	Resources	Phase 3: Plenary (6 mins) Reflection + exercise
Mon 01 Jun 2026	1Recall the names of at least two search engines and identify what a search engine does 2Ask learners: What do you use when you want to find information on the internet? Allow 3–4 responses and confirm that search engines help us find websites and information online	EXPLORING TWO SEARCH ENGINES WITH THE SAME QUERY 1Open Google on the laptop connected to the projector. Type the search query "Cocoa farming in Ghana" into the search box and press Enter. Display the first page of results to the whole class and ask: What information appears? Point out the list of websites, images, and descriptions. Then navigate to Yahoo in a second browser tab and type the same query "Cocoa farming in Ghana". Display Yahoo results beside Google results. Ask learners: Are the results the same or different? Invite a volunteer to name one website that appears in Google but not in Yahoo 2Distribute a printed comparison table to pairs of learners with columns for "Search Engine", "Website 1", "Website 2", and "Website 3". Using the projector display, read aloud the first three results from Google for "Cocoa farming in Ghana" and ask learners to write Google's results in their table. Repeat the process with Yahoo results. Ask pairs to compare: Which search engine gave you more websites about farming? Which results look more useful to you? 3Struggling learners work with pre-completed templates with 2 results instead of 3. Fast finishers predict which search engine they would use for homework research and explain why.	1Computer/Laptop 2Projector 3Internet connection 4Printed comparison table (A4)	1Ask the class to stand. Call out a search engine name (Google or Yahoo), and learners move to the left if they think it is the first search engine shown, or right if it is the second. Repeat with 3 names. This reinforces recall of the two engines explored 2Invite one representative from each pair to share one difference they noticed between Google and Yahoo results. Record 2–3 differences on the board using the projector Exercise 1Write the name of two search engines you explored in this lesson. Search for "Ghanaian music" in both engines using a computer or phone. List one website you found in Google and one website you found in Yahoo. Are they the same or different? in their exercise books.
Wed 03 Jun 2026	1Recall the names and functions of at least two different search engines 2Ask learners to name any search engines they have used before and write their answers on the board. Accept responses such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, or DuckDuckGo and briefly confirm each one is a real search engine	COMPARING SEARCH RESULTS FROM TWO SEARCH ENGINES 1Open Google on the Computer/Laptop connected to the Projector. Type the search string 'cocoa farming in Ghana' and display the first page of results to all learners. Count how many results appear and note three titles of the top results on the board. Then open Yahoo on the same computer and type the identical search string 'cocoa farming in Ghana', display the results, and write the three top result titles next to Google's results for side-by-side comparison 2Provide each learner with a paper template showing two columns labeled 'Google Results' and 'Yahoo Results' with rows for the top three result titles. Ask learners to copy the titles you wrote on the board into the correct columns and circle any titles that appear in both search engines. Learners work individually, then pairs compare their completed templates to check for accuracy 3Struggling learners: provide a pre-filled template with Google results already entered; they copy only Yahoo results and identify matches by circling. Fast finishers: repeat the same task with a third search engine (Bing) and create a three-column comparison.	1Computer/Laptop 2Projector 3Internet connection 4Paper templates with two-column comparison grid	1Ask: Why did Google and Yahoo show different results for the same search? Learners raise their hand to share one reason (e.g. different algorithms, different websites indexed). Accept 3–4 answers and affirm that search engines work differently 2Learners hold up their completed comparison templates and show a neighbour. The neighbour gives a thumbs up if the titles are correctly copied, or points out any errors to correct together Exercise 1Write the search string 'traditional Ghanaian food recipes' into both Google and Yahoo on paper (or simulate it). List two differences you observe in the top three results between the two search engines in their exercise books.
