Time: 6 minutes
Teaching Skill: Explanation
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher explains auna fahimta and writes the definition on the board with simple examples.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils copy the definition and give one example of how comprehension is tested.
Learning Point: Auna fahimta checks understanding through questions and evidence.

Step 3: Sigogin Auna Fahimta

Time: 7 minutes
Teaching Skill: Demonstration
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher displays a chart of sigogi and explains each briefly (jigo, details, vocabulary, evidence).
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils read the chart and mention two sigogi with short explanations.
Learning Point: Clear indicators show what to look for when reading a text.

Step 4: Guided Reading of Jawabi/Waƙa

Time: 7 minutes
Teaching Skill: Guided Practice

Lesson Keywords

Auna fahimta – Testing understanding of a written text through questions and evidence.
Sigogi – Indicators used to judge how well a learner understood a text.
Jawabi – A written speech with an organised message.
Waƙa – A poem arranged in lines and stanzas (baitoci) with a message.
Jigo – The main idea or message of a text.
Hujja – Evidence from a text that supports an answer.

Differentiation

Pupils who need support will answer fewer questions with guided hints and a prepared list of key lines. Pupils who learn faster will write a short summary of the text and create two additional questions with correct evidence-based answers.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Use short, level-appropriate texts with clear vocabulary and message. Insist that pupils point to the part of the text that supports each answer, especially for “me ya sa” and inference questions.
