Use questions and answers to review the previous lesson with learners. Engage learners to play games and sing songs to begin the lesson Call learners to recall some history facts about Bob Marley Use series of questions to review their understanding in the previous lesson

The easiest way to understand and appreciate a performance is to develop a relevance and ap- *propriate criteria or checklist. Guide learners to create a checklist or criteria for appreciating and appraising a performance; - Creative process - Subject matter - Selection and use of instruments and elements - Styles and techniques - Originality or creativity - Use of space - Selection and use of costumes - Symbolism and cultural relevance - Aesthetic qualities - suitability Lead a discussion to explain the criteria with learners. Now let learners use the checklist to appreciate and appraise a previous art performed in class. e.g. creating and performing music excerpts from Bob Marley. put learners into groups and let them create and perform music excerpts from Bob Marley as others observe. Set up a three member judge to use the checklist or criteria to appraise the performance of each group. For this activity, learners use locally made drum, gourd shaker and printed photographs of Ghanaian performances to plan or present a short performance and use the photographs to discuss its cultural meaning.
