Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

General Learning Approach: In the context of schools with large sizes, the RMEC team should utilize case studies, watching videos (movie scenes), drama/role play that will offer opportunities for discussions afterwards.
Where appropriate the following pedagogies may also be implemented:
Talk for Learning: Through a whole group discussion, explain the concept of time.
Collaborative Learning: Using relevant pictures, work in groups to demonstrate the various ways time is measured in the Ghanaian culture.
Enquiry Route Learning: Explain the concept of time. How time is measured in Ghanaian culture. e.g., Ghanaian concept of time is not linear but cyclical. i.e., It is measured with events. E.g., the death of a great chief, activities, and seasons within the year-farming season, harvesting period, festivals etc.
