'Lesson Plan"

 Love that energy, ! Let's break this project down into simple steps and start building Education Matters piece by piece. Here’s our step-by-step plan:

✅ STEP 1: Define the Core Structure of "Education Matter"

Let’s begin with:

1. Mission Statement

A short statement that explains what Education Matters is all about.

“Education Matters is a learning initiative that provides creative, value-driven educational content to empower learners and support teachers in schools and communities across South Africa. We believe that education should be engaging, inspiring, and life-changing.”

2. Target Audience

Who do you want to reach first?

  • Grade levels (e.g., Grades 4–7?)

  • Subjects (e.g., Life Skills, English, Math?)

  • Public or private schools? Or after-school programs?

Let’s say:

“Grades 4–7, focusing on Life Skills and English, especially in under-resourced schools and community centres.”

Would you like to stick with that or change it?

3. First Resource to Create

We’ll start with one practical resource to test and promote:

  • ✅ A lesson plan?

  • ✅ A short workbook?

  • ✅ A story with questions and a moral?

  • ✅ A visual aid/poster?

Which one would you like us to start with first? 

Let’s build this together!

Perfect choice! A well-designed lesson plan is the foundation of good teaching—and schools love it when someone brings in ready-to-use material.

✅ STEP 2: Create the First Lesson Plan for "Education Matters"

Here’s a quick layout to build from:

🧾 LESSON PLAN STRUCTURE

Let’s use this standard format:

  1. Lesson Title

  2. Grade Level

  3. Subject

  4. Duration

  5. Lesson Objectives (What learners should know/do by the end)

  6. Materials Needed

  7. Introduction / Starter Activity

  8. Main Activity / Teaching

  9. Assessment / Reflection

  10. Moral or Life Skill (optional)

  11. Homework / Extension

💡 YOUR TURN: Let’s Decide on the Theme

Here are a few example topics we can create a lesson plan around. Pick one—or suggest your own!

Life Skills Topics (Grade 5–6 Level)

  • “Respecting Others in the Classroom”

  • “Setting Goals and Dreaming Big”

  • “Dealing with Peer Pressure”

  • “How to Solve a Conflict”

  • “Learning From Failure”

English Topics

  • “Writing a Short Story With a Message”

  • “How to Write a Friendly Letter”

  • “Understanding Main Ideas in a Story”

Do any of these stand out to you? Or do you have a topic you’d love to teach first?
