Lesson Activities by Day

Date	Phase 1: Starter (7 mins) Preparing the brain	Phase 2: Main (16 mins) New learning + assessment	Resources	Phase 3: Plenary (5 mins) Reflection + exercise
Mon 01 Jun 2026	1Recall different types of nouns and pronouns from familiar Akan contexts 2Display three Akan words on the board: Kofi, adeɛ, ne. Ask: Which one is a person's name? Which one is a thing? Which one stands for someone? Learners call out answers chorally and write their guesses in exercise books	IDENTIFYING NOUNS AND PRONOUNS IN AN AKAN MARKET DIALOGUE 1Read aloud from the Textbook a short dialogue between Yaw (trader) and Abena (customer) at Makola Market: 'Yaw: Abena, wobepirim aba? Abena: Yoo, me din de Abena. Ɔno rekɔ pan.' Learners listen and identify all nouns (Yaw, Abena, aba, pan) and pronouns (me, ɔno) by writing them in two columns in their exercise books 2Play the Audio recording of the same dialogue twice. Learners underline nouns with one colour and pronouns with another colour on their copied text. Ask: Are Yaw and Abena nouns or pronouns? Why? A volunteer comes to the board and circles the pronouns in the dialogue while others check their work 3Struggling learners: identify only 3 nouns and 1 pronoun from the dialogue; fast finishers: find additional pronouns in the Textbook's second dialogue example.	1Textbook 2Audio recording (Makola Market dialogue) 3Exercise book	1Display five mixed words on the board: Kwame, sika, ɔno, pan, me. Learners raise their right hand if it is a noun, left hand if it is a pronoun. Repeat three times and ask: Can you explain why Kwame is a noun and me is a pronoun? 2Pairs compare their exercise book lists of nouns and pronouns. Ask: Did you find the same words? What different nouns did your partner find? One representative from each pair shares one noun and one pronoun with the class Exercise 1Write the sentence in Akan: Kofi ne Ama rekɔ suapɔn. Me din de Kofi. Instruction: Underline all nouns once and all pronouns twice. How many nouns and how many pronouns did you find? in their exercise books.
Tue 02 Jun 2026	1Recall common adjectives describing size, colour, shape, and quantity in Akan 2Display five pictures on the board: a kɛse moa (big mango), a ketewa sika (small stone), a kɔkɔ abo (red guava), a fa krɔn (round plate), and aba anan (four oranges). Ask learners to point and name what they see in Akan. Learners respond chorally with the Akan words	IDENTIFYING AND SORTING ADJECTIVES BY CATEGORY 1Write these Akan sentences on the board: (1) Ama de kɛse ansa. (Ama has a big room.) (2) Kwame tɔɔ kɔkɔ ntoma. (Kwame bought red cloth.) (3) Abena de ketewa ɔpɛ. (Abena has a small doll.) (4) Yaw kɔe din anan. (Yaw drank four drinks.) Ask learners to underline the adjective in each sentence, then copy all four sentences into their Exercise book and label each adjective by type: kɛse (size), kɔkɔ (colour), ketewa (size), anan (quantity) 2Play the Audio recording of a market trader describing items for sale: Yoo, wɔ ha kɛse ankoma, kɔkɔ borɔdɔ, ketewa nkuku, ne aba mienu. (Listen: here is a big fish, red tomato, small eggs, and two oranges.) Learners listen and list the four adjectives they hear in their Exercise book under the headings: Kɛse, Kɔkɔ, Ketewa, Ahoɔden. Invite three learners to share one adjective each aloud and write on the board. Differentiation: Struggling learners work with the Textbook's visual chart and match pictures to adjectives instead of writing independently 3Struggling learners: provide the Textbook's visual adjective chart and ask them to point and match rather than write. Fast finishers: create two new sentences using two different adjectives from the list.	1Textbook 2Audio recordings 3Exercise book	1Display a short Akan story on the board: Kofi de fa kɛse ɔkraman a ɔkɔkɔ. (Kofi has a round big red dog.) Ask: Sɛfa ahe ha? (How many adjectives are here?) Learners hold up fingers 1–3 to show their answer, then a volunteer comes to underline each adjective and name its type aloud 2Learners pair with the person next to them and take turns: one partner points to an object in the classroom and describes it using one size adjective and one colour adjective in Akan (e.g. kɛse kɔkɔ adaka — big red box). The other partner repeats and adds a quantity word. Pairs swap roles Exercise 1Write or say in Akan: Abena de kɛse kɔkɔ ntokwa ne aba anum. (Abena has a big red pumpkin and five oranges.) How many adjectives are in this sentence? Write the adjectives in your Exercise book and write what type each one is (kɛse, kɔkɔ, ketewa, fa krɔn, or ahoɔden)
Fri 05 Jun 2026	1Recall adjectives describing size, colour, shape, and quantity from familiar Akan sentences 2Show learners three objects (a large stone, a small ball, a red cloth). Ask: Yɛfrɛ sɛ dɛn na ɛfrɛ nneɛma yi? (What do we call the words that describe these things?). Learners whisper their answers to a partner	IDENTIFYING AND CLASSIFYING ADJECTIVES BY TYPE 1Write these Akan sentences on the board: Adwoa ɔte ɔdan akɛse so. Kwame de sikakɔkɔ adaka a. Ɔbaa no pii de aduane ba. Read each sentence aloud using the audio recording. Ask learners to underline the word that tells us more about the noun (size, colour, or quantity). Learners mark their textbook and share findings with the class 2Give learners a table in their exercise books with three columns: Kɛse/Ketewa (Size), Wɔ/Owuo (Colour), Pii/Kakraa (Quantity). Call out these Akan adjectives slowly: kɛse, kookoo, pii, fitaa, ketewa, kakraa, dodoɔ. Learners write each adjective in the correct column. Invite one representative from each group to read their completed table aloud 3Struggling learners: provide a word bank with Akan adjectives and sample sentences printed. They match adjectives to categories by pointing and saying the Akan word aloud.	1Textbook 2Audio recordings 3Exercise book	1Display five Akan phrases: aboa kɛse (big animal), nsuom fitaa (white water), nnwonwa kakraa (few wonders), akoko kookoo (red fowl), mma pii (many children). Learners raise their right hand when they hear an adjective of size, left hand for colour, both hands for quantity 2Learners turn to a partner and take turns saying one Akan adjective and naming its type (size, colour, shape, or quantity). Teacher circulates and listens to confirm accuracy Exercise 1Write this Akan sentence in your exercise book: Aberewa no de abɔɔ fitaa ne akokɔ kɔkɔ a wɔ fie. Underline all the adjectives and write their type (size, colour, or quantity) next to each one in English
Wed 03 Jun 2026	1Identify and recall adjectives in familiar Akan sentences based on their grammatical function 2Display three simple sentences on the board: 'Ama wɔ sɛnkyerɛnne kɔkɔ dua' (Ama has a red adjective tree), 'Kofi de mpɔtɔ kɛse a' (Kofi carries a big bag), 'Nana nwunu nsa pii' (Grandmother drinks much palm wine). Ask learners to identify the adjectives in each sentence by underlining them in their exercise books	CATEGORISING ADJECTIVES BY MEANING AND FUNCTION 1Write on the board five adjectives from the textbook: kɔkɔ (red), kɛse (big), soro (tall), pii (many), fufuo (smooth). Work with learners to sort these into four groups: Colour (kɔkɔ), Size (kɛse, fufuo), Height (soro), Quantity (pii). Ask learners to copy this chart into their exercise books and add two more Akan adjectives to each category from their own knowledge 2Play the audio recording from the textbook that contains a market dialogue between Ama and a trader. Learners listen for adjectives used to describe items (cloth, yam, fish). They write down each adjective they hear and note which category it belongs to (colour, size, shape, quantity). Pause after each sentence to allow writing time. Invite one learner from the back of the class to read their list aloud; compare with peers sitting nearby 3Struggling learners: work with only two categories (Colour and Size) and complete the chart with teacher support. Fast finishers: create their own sentence using at least one adjective from each category.	1Textbook (adjective examples and market dialogue) 2Audio recording (market dialogue with adjective-rich content) 3Exercise book (for categorisation chart and written responses)	1Display four Akan sentences on the board. Learners work in pairs and use their category chart to underline the adjectives, then whisper to their partner which category each belongs to. Call on one pair to share one sentence and explain their answer to the whole class 2Ask learners to hold up their exercise books showing their adjective charts. Use a thumbs signal: thumbs up if they can now identify adjectives in Akan, thumbs sideways if they are not sure. Address any sideways responses with a quick check: 'What colour is kɔkɔ?' (Red) — confirm and reassure Exercise 1Read aloud this Akan sentence: 'Kwame boɔ kɛse kɔkɔ ɔpɛ a no pii' (Kwame bought big red oranges in large quantities). Learners write down all the adjectives they hear and sort them into two columns: 'Size/Shape' and 'Colour/Quantity'. This assesses their ability to determine and categorise adjectives accurately in their exercise books.
