Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Initiating talk for learning: Brainstorm in pairs to come up with the procedures for establishing an Agricultural enterprise.
- Inquiry-based learning: In mixed-ability groups, learners inquire about Agricultural enterprises in their community and how they were established or watch a video in the procedures for establishing an agricultural enterprise. Learners then make a presentation on the procedures involved in and the factors affecting the establishment of a chosen Agricultural enterprise. Teachers should ensure that videos do not enforce stereotyping and if they do, teachers should discuss them with learners.
