| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 3 |
| Strand | Agriculture and Health | Sub-Strand | Health Issues in Crop Production |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 3.4.1.LO.1 - Employ the knowledge of the importance of classification and dispersal of weeds to select appropriate method of control in Agricultural production. | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 3.4.1.LI.3 - Discuss the methods of weed control in Agricultural production. | ||
| Lesson Focus | Discuss the methods of weed control in Agricultural production. | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Describe the key idea in: Discuss the methods of weed control in Agricultural production. Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What do we need to understand or demonstrate about Discuss the methods of weed control in Agricultural production.? How does this knowledge or skill apply to agriculture in the learner's community and Ghana? What evidence can we use to justify an agricultural decision or conclusion? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Inquiry-Based Learning Talk For Learning Think-Pair-Share Experiential Learning Group Work | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Realia (examples of weeds in the community) Weed album, functional internet connectivity Video/pictures of various species of weeds in Agricultural fields, Video/pictures of weeds dispersed by the various agents of dispersal Weed science textbooks Cutlass Hoe Knapsack sprayer/hand sprayer Weedicide/herbicide Rotary hoes Textbooks and journals on weeds | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Use concrete examples, labelled pictures, realia or simplified prompts for learners who need additional support. Extend confident learners with comparison, investigation, calculation, evaluation or enterprise-oriented tasks drawn from the same indicator. | ||
| Process | Use mixed-ability and mixed-gender grouping where appropriate, with meaningful roles for every learner. Adapt field visits, internet research or specialised equipment to locally available alternatives without changing the curriculum objective. | ||
| Product | Allow appropriate evidence such as practical demonstration, portfolio, table, report, poster, presentation, field notes or written response. Assess agricultural accuracy, procedure, evidence, collaboration and justification. | ||
| Success Criteria | Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation. | ||
| Homework | Complete a short application task connected to the week's learning indicator. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Show a farm tool, crop/animal example, photo or local farming scenario linked to the methods of weed control in agricultural production and ask learners what problem it addresses. | Share prior knowledge, listen to peers and record the lesson question in their notebooks. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Explain the methods of weed control in agricultural production using a farm-based example, labelled diagram, sample material or practical demonstration. | Observe the example, ask questions and record important agricultural terms. | Ask learners to identify the tool, practice, benefit or risk shown in the example. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Guide groups to classify, measure, plan, compare or recommend a practice related to the methods of weed control in agricultural production. | Work in groups to complete the classification, measurement, planning or recommendation task. | Review group work for correct agricultural vocabulary and practical reasoning. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Give a local farm case and ask learners to choose an appropriate practice or solution. | Apply the idea to the local farm case and justify the selected practice. | Use an exit question on how the practice can improve farm productivity or safety. |
| Lesson Closure | Summarise the methods of weed control in agricultural production and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response. | ||
