HOW DO YOU DO?

Module 1

A BIRTHDAY CALENDAR

Allow me to introduce myself

Welcome to Grade Four. I wonder if you have any new learners in your class. Have you found out anything about them yet? They are probably feeling rather shy and nervous. Try to make them feel welcome by introducing yourself as soon as possible.

When we meet people for the first time, we start by telling them our name, our age, and any other information that they might request. we call this activity ‘introducing ourselves’.

Complete the following sentences. Your teacher will then give you an opportunity to share your details with the rest of the class.

My first name is ……………………………………………………………

My surname is …………………………………………………………….

I am ………………………….years old.

My birthday is on ………………………………………………………….

I was born in ……………………………………………………………….

I have …………………………. brothers.

Memorandum

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF

  • This exercise forms an introduction to the module and is not assessed by the educator.
  • Learners prepare information to share with one another in small groups. This is to help them gain confidence in speaking in their additional language.
  • Before allowing learners to start working, discuss the CHECKLIST at the end of the exercise. The checklist is a guide for the learner to ensure that they are aware of what the expectations are.

Activity 1

  • In this activity, learners will have to communicate in order to plan and present a birthday calendar for the class.
  • They will also have a calendar in their portfolio for assessment purposes.
  • Create workstations in the class by making labels with the different months of the year written on them. A workstation is an area of floor-space or ideally a table where learners can work in a group.
  • Ask learners to group themselves according to the month in which they were born.
  • Provide a sheet of paper (manila cardboard if you prefer) for the class poster.
  • Discuss the checklist before learners begin the task.
  • Discuss the criteria in the assessment rubric before learners begin their calendar for their portfolio.

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
