Mon 01 Jun 2026	1Recall familiar Akan words and phrases used in daily Ghanaian contexts to activate prior translation knowledge 2Show learners five picture cards (family members, food items, market scenes) and ask them to name each in Akan. Learners whisper their answers to a partner before volunteers share aloud	TRANSLATING COMMON WORDS AND PHRASES 1Write ten English words on the board: mother, water, market, sleep, eat, good morning, thank you, come here, how are you, my name. Using the textbook vocabulary list, translate each word aloud in Akan (maame, nsu, market, toa, di, maakye, medaase, bra, wo din de sen, me din de). Ask learners to repeat chorally three times and copy the Akan equivalents into their exercise books with the English word beside it 2Distribute exercise books and ask learners to work in pairs. Read aloud five simple English phrases from the textbook: 'Good morning, how are you?', 'I am fine, thank you', 'What is your name?', 'I am going to the market', 'Please give me water'. Learners translate each phrase into Akan using the textbook as reference, writing both the English and Akan versions. Call on one representative from each pair to read aloud one complete translation for the class to check 3Struggling learners work with the audio recording on repeat and copy directly from the textbook word list; fast finishers create their own three-word phrases in English and translate them using classroom vocabulary.	1Textbook 2Audio recordings 3Exercise book 4Picture cards (family, food, market scenes) 5Whiteboard and markers	1Display four English words on the board: friend, house, school, book. Learners show fingers 1–4 to indicate which word they can now translate confidently. Chorus the Akan translations together: dua, ɔdan, sukuu, nnwom 2Learners compare their exercise book translations with the person sitting next to them. Partners check each other's work by matching against the textbook vocabulary. Ask: Did your partner spell the Akan word correctly? Thumbs up if yes, thumbs down if you found a spelling error Exercise 1Translate the following three English words into Akan using your exercise book. Write the Akan word next to each English word: (1) mother, (2) water, (3) good morning. One sentence: Learners must write the correct Akan spelling for each word with correct tone marks where applicable
Tue 02 Jun 2026	1Recall and identify words and phrases in Akan that correspond to English equivalents from Day 1 learning 2Display five English words on the board: water, mother, market, school, food. Learners whisper the Akan translation to their partner within 30 seconds	TRANSLATING PHRASES AND SIMPLE SENTENCES 1Write this English phrase on the board: 'She goes to the market.' Explain step-by-step how to break it into parts: subject (She) + verb (goes) + place (market). Ask learners to identify each part in their exercise books, then write the full Akan translation: 'Ɔkɔ sikakorabɛn no.' Use the textbook example on page 42 to show one more phrase structure 2Provide each pair with three sentence cards from the teacher's resource pack containing English simple sentences (e.g. 'Kofi buys bread.', 'Ama likes yam.', 'They play football.'). Pairs translate each sentence into Akan and write in their exercise books. A volunteer from each pair shares one translation aloud; teacher corrects pronunciation and confirms grammatical accuracy using the audio recording to model correct intonation 3Struggling learners work with the two-word phrases only (noun + verb). Fast finishers translate a fourth sentence they create themselves and share with a partner.	1Textbook (page 42, phrase examples) 2Audio recordings (sentence intonation models) 3Exercise book	1Learners stand and form pairs. One learner whispers an English word or simple phrase; the partner translates aloud. They switch roles. Repeat three times with different words 2Ask the class: 'Which part of a sentence did we focus on today — words, phrases or complete thoughts?' Learners show fingers 1–3 to indicate their confidence in translating each type. Celebrate confident learners Exercise 1Translate the following English phrase into Akan: 'Kwame eats rice at home.' Write your answer in one complete sentence in your exercise book
Wed 03 Jun 2026	1Recall key Akan vocabulary and sentence structures learned over the three-day series to prepare for translation tasks 2Show five vocabulary cards with English words (mother, father, friend, school, market). Ask learners to whisper the Akan translation to their partner, then invite one learner from each pair to say aloud: "Maame", "Agya", "Abɔde", "Sukuu", "Asokosorɛ"	GUIDED TRANSLATION OF WORDS AND PHRASES 1Write ten Akan words on the board and their English meanings side by side: "Ɔbarima—man, Ɔbaa—woman, Abɔ—come, Kɔ—go, Di—eat, Se—say, Yoo—sleep, Kasa—speak, Bɔ—hit, Tua—write." Ask learners to copy into their exercise book and read aloud as a class three times. Call on different learners to point and read five of these words aloud one by one 2Provide learners with five written English phrases on cards: "good morning", "how are you", "thank you", "my name is", "where is the school". Using the Textbook (pages with phrase lists), guide learners to match each English phrase with its Akan equivalent: "Maakye", "Wo din de sen", "Medaase", "Me din de", "Sukuu no wɔ faako he." Learners work in pairs and write matched pairs in their exercise book 3Weaker learners: focus on the first three phrases only and work alongside a stronger peer using the Textbook as reference.	1Textbook (Akan phrase and vocabulary lists, pages with target language examples) 2Audio recordings (pronunciation models for words and phrases) 3Exercise book (for learner recording and translation work)	1Display three simple English sentences on the board: "Ama is my friend.", "Kwame goes to market.", "We eat rice at home." Ask learners to translate each sentence into Akan using their exercise book notes. Invite one learner who has shown good progress to read their first translation aloud: "Ama yɛ me abɔde." 2Learners pair-check their translations by reading to their partner. Ask: "Does your translation have a subject (ɔbarima/ɔbaa or din), a verb (kɔ, abɔ, di, kasa), and an object (place or thing)?" Partners raise hands if both translations are correct Exercise 1Translate the following three English words and one simple phrase into Akan using your exercise book and the Textbook.
