Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

In a community circle time, have learners sit in a semi-circle position and say a poem about different means of transport (if you do not know any poem/rhyme/song on means of transport, create one). Guide learners to discuss the means of transport mentioned in the poem. Use the discussion to introduce the sub-theme. Using conversational poster on means of transports, guide learners to discuss various means one use to travel to other countries e.g. air-aeroplane, sea-ship, road-car. Discuss some of the basic reasons why people travel to other countries e.g. to study, work, visit, etc.. Have learners talk about the means through which one can travel to another country and tell why they like the chosen means of transport. Have learners be in groups according to their choice of means of transport. Guide them count the members in each group and use comparative language to describe the groups. Extend this activity with representing the number of each group with counters. Have each group present their number on a number line (divide large group so that no group will have number more than 10)
