Lesson Keywords

Zubi da tsari – The organisation and arrangement of a written play.
Kashi – Parts or sections of a play such as acts or scenes.
Fitowa – Entrance, exit, and stage directions showing movement and setting.
Maganar ɗan wasa – Dialogue spoken by characters in a play.
Sakin layi – Paragraph breaks used to organise text clearly.
Nazari – Study or analysis of a text to understand meaning and structure.

Differentiation

Pupils who need support will receive shorter excerpts with marked headings to guide identification. Pupils who learn faster will summarise each kashi in two sentences and explain how dialogue and fitowa support the message.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Use a play text that has clear scene headings and stage directions so pupils can practise identification easily. Emphasise exam-style answers by focusing on definitions, listing of features, and short explanations supported by examples from the text.
