Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

content standard text - p.118: the document prints this learning-outcome code as "2.1.2.LO.1", the same code it printed on the facing page for the first outcome of this sub-strand. This one reads "identify the industries in animal/fish production" against the first's "in crop production", it is the second of the two outcomes the Scope and Sequence (printed p.22) gives this cell, and the second content standard 2.1.2.CS.2 (printed p.122) is "the industries in animal/fish production". Filed as 2.1.2.LO.2
exemplars - p.122: the document prints this assessment code as "2.1.2.AS2", with no separator before the final digit

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Experiential Learning: Learners in mixed-ability groups visit a nearby agro-based industry which processes animal products/watch videos/pictures on the use of raw materials and Agriculture waste in their processing activities.
Collaborative learning: Learners in the mixed ability groups discuss the importance of raw materials and waste from crop production to the industries and present a report on their discussion.
Project-based learning (Homework): Learners in mixed-ability group embark on a case study on the industrial uses and importance of selected animals which are reared in their locality and present a portfolio on their case study. Teachers should ensure that the videos/pictures used do not enforce stereotyping and if they do, the teacher should discuss them with the learners. Teachers should ensure that learners who have allergies to animal products like fur and blood are psychologically prepared and remedies made available before embarking on the farm visit.
