- COMPARE AND IDENTIFY MOOD AND TONE
- 4Play the same dialogue a third time; this time learners mark in their Exercise books: happy face (😊), sad face (😞), or angry face (😠) to show the mood of each speaker at key points (greeting, price negotiation, goodbye)
- 5Learners compare their mood marks with the person sitting next to them; ask one learner who identified all three moods correctly to explain why Ama sounded happy at the beginning. Use Textbook during the task

- 1Identify the main message and mood in a spoken Akan dialogue
- 2Play a short audio clip of a market conversation between two traders (Kofi and Ama) — learners listen silently and raise hands when they hear the word 'sikade' (money)
|
- LISTEN AND NOTE KEY INFORMATION
- 1Play the textbook audio recording of a dialogue: Akua calls her mother Yaa from school to say she forgot her lunch money and is hungry; mother responds with sympathy and promises to send help via Kwesi (her brother). Learners listen and write in exercise books: (1) who called, (2) the problem, (3) the solution
- 2Ask one representative from each group of 3 to read aloud their written answer; confirm correct responses on board using full sentences in Akan. Use Textbook during the task
- 3Replay the same dialogue; learners now circle in their books the THREE words that show Yaa's mood (worried, kind, hasty) — provide word bank on board
- COMPARE AND DISCUSS LISTENING NOTES
- 4Learners compare their notes on mood with the person sitting next to them; pairs discuss: 'Did you choose the same mood words? Why or why not?'. Use Textbook during the task
- 5Invite one girl and one boy who chose different mood words to stand and defend their choice using evidence from the dialogue (e.g. 'Yaa said daakye' shows she is worried). Use Textbook during the task
- 6Teacher confirms both answers are valid and uses this to explain: tone changes based on what we listen for — same dialogue, different interpretations. Use Textbook during the task
