Content: In order to manage ourselves well we need to know who we are and
what we have going for us. For some there may be little but if used
efficiently very much can be achieved. For others there is much but is
under-utilized. Our resources are all those things and persons we have
access to that will help us to experience holistic growth. The more we
utilize our resources, the more we find ourselves, know ourselves and
understand how to be successful. We will have clear well defined,
understanding of who we are and what will be equipped to personal
information in the case of self-enhancement.
By extension, self-enhancement may mean extending a hand to our
friends, thus helping them to realize their goal, dream etc. also just
imagine a community with persons who know what they are about,
what they have at their disposal, equipped to use same. Self-
empowered and willing to share the formula of self-empowerment
what a well-functioning community that will be! Let’s remember that
the man who moves the mountain begins by removing/lifting small
stones.

Lesson Plan for Week Beginning February 2019

Duration: 1x30 Minutes

Date: February 2019
Grade: One
Subject: Guidance & Counselling
Topic: Safety on the Road

Objectives: At the end of the lesson students will be able to:

1) Demonstrate under instruction the correct way to go from one side to the
next of the street.
2) Suggest at least one (1) reason each why it is best to walk in single file.
3) Face the oncoming vehicle(s).

Strategies: Use of: Practical Activity/ Field Trip, Questioning, Singing and Drawing.
Content: Safety is everybody’s business. We all need to learn the correct way of using
the road. A large percentage our children are sent on the road daily for one
reason or another. Many students will walk to school. This makes it very
important for them to know that when going from one side to the next, one
should look left then right then left again before attempting to go across. A
number of signs are displayed on our roads. Some of these include: STOP,
SLOW, ROUND ABOUT, SCHOOL and among others ONE WAY.

Introduction: Counsellor will ask at least five (5) students if they are knowledgeable of any
safety signs displayed on the road- if so give a few examples of such.
Anticipated:
Responses: Students may say yes- examples: stop signs, school slow, one way, detour etc.

Lesson:
Development: Counsellor will ask students- to quickly explain why these signs are
displayed.

Anticipated:
Responses: To provide road users with information/help for road users who may be using
unfamiliar road ways to warn of danger that can occur if we disobey etc.
counsellor to probe, process, make input etc.

Step 2: Students will be given paper and crayons; they will attempt to make drawings
each of one safety sign they know.
Step 3: Students to be organized with the help of class teacher and another person
available to be taken down by the gate to practice getting across the road
correctly.
Step 4: One reaching down by the gate, students will be organized into groups of 3’s.
they will then be guided as how to go across the street before they actually
practice to.
Step 5: Counsellor will ask them if anyone knows:
1) Why we should walk in a single file?
2) How to correctly get from one side to the next?
3) Why should we face the oncoming vehicle?

Anticipated:
Responses:
1) We should walk in single files to prevent body protrusion and possible hit
down.
2) We should face the oncoming vehicle so that we have a clear view of how
close we are to it and the one coming from the opposite direction ( our
back tuned to that one) will be on the side from us thus making us fairly
safe from that.
3) We should look left then right, then left again before attempting to go from
one side of the street to the next.

Culminating:
Activity: Students will sing the jingle below:
be careful, be careful how you cross the street, look left, look right, the look
left before you move your feet! (reptx1).
