Step 3: Kíka Ìwé Ìtàn Àròsọ

Time: 8 minutes
Teaching Skill: Demonstration/Reading
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher presents a short Yoruba narrative book or text. The teacher reads a part of the story aloud, demonstrating proper pronunciation and intonation. The teacher then guides pupils to read sections of the story, correcting them where necessary.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils listen as the teacher reads, then take turns reading parts of the story aloud.
Learning Point: Pupils practice reading a narrative text and improve their reading skills.

Step 4: Sísọ Ìtàn Ní Ṣókí (Summarizing a Story)

Teacher’s Activity: The teacher leads a discussion on the actions of the characters in the story and the outcomes of their actions. The teacher asks questions like, “Kí ni ìtàn yìí kọ́ wa?” (What does this story teach us?) to guide pupils to identify moral lessons.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils discuss the characters’ actions and suggest possible lessons learned from the story.
Learning Point: Pupils develop the ability to extract moral lessons from narratives.

Step 6: Àpẹẹrẹ Èkó Inú Ìtàn

Time: 4 minutes
Teaching Skill: Elaboration/Examples
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher lists and explains common examples of lessons found in stories, such as “ìṣé òtitó” (honesty), “ìgbọ́ràn” (obedience), and “ìrẹlẹ̀” (humility), writing them on the board.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils listen, repeat the examples, and copy them into their notebooks.
Learning Point: Pupils recognize various moral lessons that can be learned from stories.

Step 7: Evaluation/Review

Time: 5 minutes

Teaching Skill: Questioning/Assessment

Teacher’s Activity: The teacher evaluates the learning by asking the following questions:

Kí ni ìtàn àròsọ? (What is a narrative?)
Mẹ́nù bá àwọn ǹkan méjì tí ó yẹ kí a ṣe nígbà tí a bá ń ka ìtàn àròsọ. (Mention two things we should do when reading a narrative.)
Kí ni ìtúmò sísọ ìtàn ní ṣókí? (What is the meaning of summarizing a story?)
Dá àpẹẹrẹ èkó méjì tí a lè rí nínú ìtàn àròsọ. (Give two examples of lessons we can find in a narrative.)

Pupils’ Activity: Pupils listen to the summary and copy down their homework assignment.
Learning Point: Pupils consolidate their learning and prepare for independent practice.

Lesson Keywords

Ìtàn àròsọ – A narrative or story; an account of events.
Ìtúmò – Meaning or definition.
Èkó – Lesson or moral.
Sísọ ní ṣókí – Summarizing or telling briefly.
Ka – To read.

Differentiation

For pupils who grasp concepts quickly, the teacher will encourage them to read longer stories and analyze the lessons more deeply, perhaps comparing lessons from different stories. For pupils who need more support, the teacher will provide simpler stories, offer more direct guidance during reading and summarization, and pair them with stronger pupils for peer support.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Ensure that the narrative chosen for reading is appropriate for the Primary 5 age group in terms of length and complexity. Encourage active participation from all pupils, especially during discussions about moral lessons, to ensure they connect the stories to real-life situations. Utilize the instructional materials effectively to make the lesson engaging and memorable.
