Basic 8 Creative Arts And Design Term 1 Week 10 Lesson Plan

Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Cardboard; Wooden ruler; Starch paste. Guide learners to identify simple three-dimensional shapes such as cubes, cuboids and pyramids and discuss the flat shapes that make up their faces. Using the Wooden ruler, learners measure and draw suitable nets or templates for selected models on the Cardboard. Demonstrate how to include joining flaps on the net and how to mark the fold lines clearly. Learners carefully cut out the cardboard nets, fold along the marked lines and apply the Starch paste to the joining flaps to assemble the shapes into three-dimensional models. Groups construct at least two different models, such as a cube and a cuboid or pyramid. After construction, learners compare their finished models with the original nets and identify the faces, edges and vertices. They discuss any difficulties they encountered with measurement, folding or joining and make corrections where necessary. Assessment: Learners display their completed models, identify the simple shapes used in constructing them, and explain the steps followed from drawing the net to assembling the final three-dimensional form.

Ask learners to do the following by ways of reflecting on the lesson: 1 Tell the class what you learnt during the lesson. 2

Draw learner’s attention to the new lesson’s content standard and indicator(s).

Groups examine the Printed reproductions of works by local Ghanaian artists and identify subject matter, media and visual elements in each work. They match the reproductions to the Printed artist-profile cards and discuss how each artist's background or community influenced the work. Learners use the Chart paper with pencils to record a comparison of two artists and the historical, cultural, environmental or topical issues reflected in their art. Each group presents its comparison with direct visual evidence.

Tell the class how you will use the knowledge they acquire during the lesson. 3

Recap of previous lesson using RCA technique. Draw learner’s attention to the new lesson’s content standard and indicator(s).

Learners listen to contrasting excerpts on the Mobile phone with offline works by Ephraim Amu and J H Kwabena Nketia. They read the Printed composer-profile cards and connect each composer's background with the history and culture heard in the music. Groups follow a short rhythm or melody in the Printed score excerpts and identify how it supports the work's message. They present a comparison showing one similarity and one difference in how the composers reflect Ghanaian life or topical issues.
