Important aspects to keep in mind when planning foundation phase lesson.
1. Introductory phase
Start the lesson with fun, attention-grabbing activity. For example: if the topic of the day is about "Pets" choose a song or a poem that focuses on pets and play if for your learners.
2. TEACHING AND LEARNING PHASE
Instil new knowledge in learners. Use scaffolding method to build new knowledge upon what learners already know. Ensure that learners get to be asked lower and higher order thinking questions. Ask learner questions that encourages them to answer the questions themselves.
3. CONCLUSION
Give learners homeworks to teat their understanding about what they have been taught. Get learners do presentations after lessons.
ART INTEGRATION
Art integration helps learners to develop creative problem-solving skills and it can also present difficult concepts visually and makes them easy to understand. It can also help learners to recognize new skills.
Yes because I have come to understand the importance of inclusion of music and art in teaching content. At foundation phase level learners has to be able to play and be creative in classroom. Music and arts foster social and creative learning skills. It can also motivate learners and helps them to understand content alot more better than just having to instil content without having fun in the classroom
