Mon 27 Apr 2026	1Recall the names of at least three social media platforms learners use or have seen in their daily lives 2Ask learners: What apps do you see on your parents' or friends' phones? Learners call out names chorally and you write them on the board (WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc.). Circle the ones that are social media platforms	UNDERSTANDING PHOTO SHARING AND VIDEO SHARING PLATFORMS 1Using the Computer/Laptop and Projector, display the projector screen showing a simple comparison chart (Title: 'Types of Social Media'). Draw two columns: 'Photo Sharing' and 'Video Sharing'. Explain: Photo sharing sites let you post pictures (Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest). Video sharing sites let you upload and watch videos (YouTube, Facebook Live, Periscope, Vimeo). Learners copy the chart into their exercise books, filling in 2–3 examples under each column as you point to the projected image 2Distribute a printed worksheet or write on the board: 'Sort these platforms: Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook Live, Pinterest, Vimeo.' Learners work in pairs to write each platform under 'Photo Sharing' or 'Video Sharing' in their books. Call on one representative from 3 different pairs to read their answers aloud. Confirm correct classifications and explain why each fits its category using the Internet connection to show a screenshot or brief example if available 3Struggling learners: provide a word bank with photos/icons of each platform name. Fast finishers: ask them to identify which platform their parents use most and why.	1Computer/Laptop 2Projector 3Internet connection 4Comparison chart (projected or drawn) 5Exercise books 6Printed worksheet (optional)	1Learners stand if the platform you call is a photo sharing site, sit if it is a video sharing site.

Read aloud the name and main purpose of each: Instagram (photo + short video), Snapchat (temporary photo + video messages), Pinterest (photo collections + ideas), YouTube (long-form videos), Facebook Live (live video streaming), Periscope (live video app), Vimeo (professional video hosting). Ask learners to copy the platform name and write one word describing its primary function in their exercise books 2Divide the class into two groups: Group A (Photo-sharing) and Group B (Video-sharing). Call out each platform name and ask the group responsible to stand and shout its category. Repeat 5 times with different platforms to reinforce classification. Struggling learners may work with the projector showing the categories while the activity runs, marking off each platform as it is called 3Struggling learners: provide a printed reference card with platform names and categories to consult during the standing activity; fast finishers may explain to a partner why each platform fits its category.	1Computer/Laptop 2Projector 3Internet connection	1Ask: Show me with your fingers—how many photo-sharing sites did we learn today? How many video-sharing sites? Learners hold up fingers.

Ask learners to draw two columns (Photo-sharing \| Video-sharing) in their exercise books and sort all five platforms into the correct column with one reason for each choice
