Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
- Learners brainstorm in groups and share ideas with the whole class on what they do to maintain personal hygiene. - Learners write their ideas on flashcards (ideas may include bathing twice daily, cleaning the teeth, cutting their finger nails, washing their towels, sweeping their classrooms, etc.). - Brainstorm with learners on what will happen if they do not take good care of their bodies. - Learners are assigned to investigate materials that can be used to enhance personal hygiene (to brush the teeth, clean the armpit or bath).
