TMS3708 Asssignment 3 2024 | Due 26 June 2024

1. Design a lesson plan for a LEARNER-CENTERED lesson for Grade 8 learners in Economics and Management Sciences on the lesson topic: Entrepreneurship: Factors of production as a topic prescribed in the CAPS document. Take careful note of the following context of your hypothetical Grade 8 class: there are 32 learners in the class. The school has access to resources such as a smartboard and projector for the teacher, access to the internet, and the learners each have a textbook and workbook.

Conduct your own research (internet search, observation in the classroom, informal interviews with teachers) to answer the questions below. All responses must be within the context of a South African classroom.

2.1 Describe any barrier to learning that is prevalent in South African classrooms.2.2 Using examples, discuss how you will plan to support leaners in your EMS classroom to overcome this barrier.

3. Defend (explain and justify using examples) the importance of planning for learners’ prior knowledge before teaching new content in a lesson.

4. Why is it important for a teacher to know the learners’ interests, home context, socio-economic context etc., when planning a lesson? Justify your response using examples from the EMS curriculum.
