INTRODUCTION OF THE LESSON

We start from known to unknown i.e. should be through reference to the prior knowledge of the children. It can be a story, a song that should be related to the sub-theme.

MAIN DISCUSSION

Both the facilitator and the learners discuss concepts as outlined in the sub-theme objectives.

NUMERACY

This involves discussion and activities that will help learners achieve the numeracy objectives.

LITERACY

Discussion and activities that will achieve the literacy objectives. This involves reading and writing activities.

GROUPWORK

STORY

Moshanyana Senkatana a pholosa sechaba ka ho bolaea kholumolumo. Learners are told or read a story related to the sub-theme.
