Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Welcome learners with a big smile, greet them and have them do the same to their friends. With learners seated in a big semi-circle in the classroom, (with all tables packed at the back), and using "pass a ball" game, (in which learners pass a ball to their friends), engage learners in active interaction about the theme. Put up a chart or a conversational poster on the theme for the week and have learners take turns to contribute their ideas to the discussion. Let them use positive language to appreciate themselves and describe how wonderful God has created them. The teacher must model the description first and scaffold the learners to do so. Have them talk about themselves focusing on the uniqueness of their names, the homes they are from, their physical bodies, how tall or short, big or small and how different they are from animals.
Use the following questions to guide the learners who cannot talk fluently. E.g. What is your name? age? Gender? height? What are your likes and dislikes? etc.
