Teachers' Resource Book (Runyankore/Rukiga) for P3

Abstract

INTRODUCTION TO THE TEACHERS' RESOURCE BOOK (TRB) What is a Teacher's Resource Book? It is a teacher's bank of suitable and relevant items that can facilitate the teaching/ learning process. Rationale This Teacher's Resource Book provides the teacher with a variety of items such as, songs, rhymes, games, stories, tongue twisters, lullabies, situational games, riddles, proverbs and poems. These help the teacher consolidate the vocabulary and structures learnt under a particular theme. These items are designed to make the lessons more interesting and participatory. The items in this Teacher's Resource Book are just a sample to help teachers create similar items depending on the environment and the situation where they are. This will make the teaching/learning process more meaningful. Objectives 1. To revitalize the use of songs, rhymes, charts, games, tongue twisters, stories, situational games, proverbs, poems and riddles that support learning and retention. 2. To promote and preserve Uganda's different cultures. 3. To help the teacher enrich his/her method of teaching so as to make the teaching/learning process more interesting and meaningful. HOW TO USE THE TRB 1. This resource should be used in consultation with the curriculum and the teacher's guide to the curriculum. 2. In the Teacher's Guide under the lesson plan guidelines the items in the TRB are mentioned. The teacher is expected to use the items during the days where they are suggested. 3. The teacher is expected to study the items before the lesson. 4. The teacher is expected to write the item on the board for the class. The item written should be read aloud by the teacher, the whole class, in groups and finally by the individual learners. NB: It should be noted that the teacher is free to use his/her own collection too. The learners are also a resource and the teacher may encourage them to write their own items which may be used in the classroom. The items are not meant to overshadow the lesson but rather to consolidate what has been learnt. The teacher should ensure that almost all the learners participate during the learning process.
