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 20 Apr 2026	1Identify capital letters at the beginning of sentences in written Akan (Fante) text 2Show learners three sentences written on the chalkboard: 'kofi kɔɔ sukuu nnɛ' and 'Ama dii aduan.' Ask: Which sentence looks correct? Why? Learners point and discuss with a partner	RECOGNISING CAPITAL LETTERS IN AKAN (FANTE) SENTENCES 1Write five sentences on the chalkboard using the textbook examples: 'Kwame tɛɛ nkoa no', 'Abena dɔ adekyee', 'Yaw bɔɔ tuo', 'Akua kɔɔ asemnam', 'Kofi nyaa pan.' Learners copy these sentences into their exercise books. Ask: Which letter is biggest in each sentence? Underline it with a pencil and count how many you find 2Display the sentences again on the chalkboard. Call on learners (rotate: a boy, then a girl, then another learner) to read each sentence aloud. After each reading, ask the class: Does this sentence start with a big letter? Learners raise thumbs up or thumbs down to show if the capital letter is used correctly 3Struggling learners: work with only the first three sentences and trace the capital letter with their finger on the chalkboard before copying.	1Textbook 2Exercise book 3Chalkboard	1Play a quick naming game: name a Ghanaian place, food, or person (e.g. 'Kumasi', 'waakye', 'Ama'). Learners hold up their fingers to show: one finger if it starts with a capital letter, two fingers if it does not. Repeat five times with different words 2Ask learners to whisper to their partner one sentence they will write tomorrow using a capital letter at the start. Invite three pairs to share their sentence idea with the class Exercise 1Write two sentences in Akan (Fante) using the pattern: 'Ɔbaa/Ɔbarima [name] [verb] [object].' Example: 'Adwoa dii konkɔn.' Check that both sentences begin with a capital letter. Write them in your exercise book and show them to a partner
Tue 21 Apr 2026	1Recall the position of capital letters in relation to full stops in written sentences 2Display three short sentences on the chalkboard without capital letters after full stops (e.g. 'Ama wɛ duadua no mu. akɔ sikakuo'). Ask learners: 'What letter comes after each full stop? Is it big or small?' Learners respond chorally in Fante	IDENTIFYING CAPITAL LETTERS AFTER FULL STOPS 1Write five simple Fante sentences on the chalkboard, with some using capital letters after full stops and others not (e.g. 'Kofi boafo duadua no. adidi no yɛ din. / Abena kɔɔ asɔre. ɔhuu ne maame'). Ask learners to open their exercise books and copy only the sentences that have a capital letter after the full stop. Call on one girl who found this easy to come and underline the capitals on the board while explaining why they are correct 2Distribute the textbook to each learner and ask them to find one sentence on an assigned page that shows a capital letter after a full stop. Learners read their sentence aloud in Fante and point out where the full stop is and where the capital letter starts the next sentence. Differentiation note: Struggling learners work with a partner and may use sentences you pre-select from an easier section of the textbook 3Struggling learners: provide pre-written pairs of sentences and ask them to circle the capital letter only. Fast finishers: find two examples from the textbook and write them in their exercise books with underlining.	1Chalkboard 2Chalk 3Textbook 4Exercise books	1Ask learners to stand and form a circle. You call out a sentence in Fante without a capital letter after the full stop (e.g. 'Yaw pɔ asana. akɔ sikakuo'). Learners clap twice if they hear the mistake, then one volunteer corrects it orally by saying the sentence with the capital letter in the right place 2Learners pair up and swap their exercise books from the main activity. Each pair checks if their partner correctly identified sentences with capitals after full stops and gives a thumbs up or thumbs down. Partners discuss any differences Exercise 1Write one sentence in Fante on the chalkboard without a capital letter after the full stop (e.g. 'Ama wɛ duadua. ɔdii aduane'). Ask learners to rewrite it correctly in their exercise books with the capital letter in the right place. A volunteer comes to the board and writes the corrected sentence while explaining where the capital letter goes
Wed 22 Apr 2026	1Recall the rule for using capital letters after a colon in Akan sentences 2Write on the chalkboard: "Abɔfra no din de: Kwame" and "Abɔfra no din de: kwame". Ask learners which sentence is correct and why, listening for responses about capital letters	IDENTIFYING AND APPLYING CAPITAL LETTERS AFTER COLONS 1Display this sentence on the chalkboard: "Kwakuɔ na ɔkaa: Ɔno de sika a ɔde bɔɔ sɛ gua." Ask learners to identify the colon and the capital letter that follows it using their exercise books. Guide them to underline the capital letter after the colon three times. Confirm that "Ɔ" is capitalized because it begins a new thought after the colon 2Provide five sentences written on the chalkboard in the textbook section. Half use correct capitalization after colons; half do not. Learners work in pairs to sort sentences into two groups: "Ɔkwan pa" (correct) and "Ɔkwan a ɛnni pa" (incorrect). Ask one representative from each pair to share one correct example aloud 3Struggling learners work with the teacher to identify only two sentences before joining pair work; fast finishers create one new sentence with a colon and correct capitalization.	1Chalkboard 2Textbook (Ghanaian Language and Culture) 3Exercise book	1Learners play a quick game: teacher reads sentences aloud, and learners clap once if the capital letter after the colon is correct and stay silent if it is wrong. Use four sentences from the textbook 2Learners whisper to their partner one sentence they wrote or found during the lesson that uses a capital letter correctly after a colon Exercise 1Write this sentence in your exercise book and correct it if needed: "Ama na ɔkaa: ɔbɛtɔ aduane no nnɛ." (Ama said: she will buy food today.) Identify the colon and explain whether the capital letter after it is correct
