Lesson Keywords

Eré Onítàn – Ìtàn tí a ń sọ nípa ṣíṣe lórí ìpele. (A story told through acting on a stage.)
Èdá Ìtàn – Àwọn ènìyàn tàbí èyàn tí ó wà nínú ìtàn. (Characters in a story.)
Ìwé Eré – Ìwé tí a ti kọ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ àti ìṣe tí àwọn èdá ìtàn máa ṣe. (A script containing dialogues and actions for characters.)
Ọ̀rọ̀ Àfọ̀wọ́gbá – Àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí àwọn èdá ìtàn ń sọ fún ara wọn. (Dialogue between characters.)

Differentiation

For pupils who grasp concepts quickly, the teacher can assign them more complex roles or ask them to help guide their peers. For pupils who need more support, the teacher can give them simpler roles, allow them to repeat lines after the teacher, or provide extra guidance during the reading and acting activities. Group work encourages peer learning.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Encourage all pupils to participate actively, even if it’s just by reading a single line. Create a supportive environment where pupils feel comfortable to express themselves. Simple props can greatly enhance engagement. Ensure the chosen play script is age-appropriate and easy to understand for Primary 4 pupils.
