Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Community circle time: In pairs ask learners to greet their friends in their home languages just to find out the diverse cultures in the classroom and whether the learners know the name of the languages they speak.
Introduce the theme by telling the learners a story of one of the major tribes in your region. E.g. In Cape Coast, talk about the origin of the Fantes, in Volta-the Ewes, Kumasi -the Ashantis, Accra-the Gas, Tamale - the Dagombas or Gonjas etc.
