Differentiation

Pupils who learn fast will generate more examples, including words with “ng, kp, gb,” and classify them correctly. Pupils who need support will use the chart and a guided list of sample words to identify and classify the consonants step by step.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Keep the consonant groups clearly separated on the board and insist on correct pronunciation, especially for “ng,” “kp,” and “gb.” During the cultural sections, guide discussion to remain respectful and focused on responsibilities and learning points from traditional songs.
