Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Community Circle time: Follow basic procedures of the community circle time (as in K2.1.1.1.1) and introduce the theme for the week. Display a conversational poster showing some special places in a community where learners can go. Have learners observe the poster and talk about some of the special places in every community, e.g. the chiefs house, the market, police station, the hospital.
*
Prepare the learners for a field trip to the chief's palace and the police station during the week. (For an advance preparation, ask permission from the places by mouth and with a letter.) Arrange with a resource person to talk to the learners.
*
While back at school, have learners share what they have learnt on the field.
