Think-pair-share: In pairs, learners surf the internet for information on the modes of communication in Agriculture and present their findings in class.
Project based learning: In a mixed- gender groups, learners watch a short documentary on the various modes of communication in Agriculture. They then practice the various modes of communication among other groups in class. Videos/pictures used should not enforce stereotyping and if they do, teachers should discuss them with learners.
