Teachers’ Note

Social Studies teachers, just like teachers of other RNV subjects, must understand that their role in the class is much more than making the pupils to simply know and able to list the merits and demerit of negative and positive attitude to work. S/he is a mind changer, a motivator, a patriot and an ardent promoter of patriotism. Especially at this moment of moral decadence when “the popular is seen as the right” and indigenous national values are being defaced; the teacher enjoys the duty of re-orienting the pupils in his/her classes.

TOPIC

People who work for us – uniformed people e.g. police, army, traffic warden, road safety corps, etc.

LESSON OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the pupils should have attained the following objectives:

Cognitive:

The pupils should be able to list the different kind of uniform people and identify or differentiate one from another.

Affective:

They should appreciate the significance and show respect for uniform people.

Psychomotor:

The pupils should be able to teach others about the relevance of uniformed people as well as to respect them.

PRESENTATION

The lesson is presented in order of the steps described below:

 Step 1: Introduction

To introduce the lesson, the teacher displays persons in the different uniforms and asks the pupils to identify each.

Invariably, the pupils will either be unable to identify or wrongly identify one or two of the uniform people. Hence, the teacher tells the pupils that they shall at the course of the lesson; identify each of the uniform people. Thereafter, the teacher explains the lesson objectives to the pupils.

Step 2: Uniform people and their work

Following step 1 above, the teacher tells the pupils that they shall now identify each of the uniform people and their work. Thereunto, s/he picks one (of the uniform people) at a time, as given in the table below, then names the agency and the work. The teacher explains the works so that the pupils see why they are relevant.

Note: [1] prior to explaining the duties of the various agencies given above, the teacher may ask the contributions of the pupils. S/he may do this by picking the uniform of each agency, then asking whether any of the pupils’ parent or relation has the given uniform (i.e. works with the agency). If any, the teacher may ask questions such as the name of the agency and the work such parent/relation performs.

For example, the teacher picks the police uniform, then asks whether any of the pupils’ parent/relation uses that uniform. If any, the teacher asks the pupil the name that persons such as that his /her parent/relation is called. Thereafter, the teacher may ask the pupil or the class what works such people perform.

[2]To make the pupils see the relevance of the uniformed people, the teacher should initiates discussion on what will happen if we don’t have each. For example, after discussing the Police; the teacher asks what will happen if there are no police.

[3] Due to some semblance or possible ambiguity in identifying the uniform of the different uniformed people, the teacher should teach the pupils how to recognize the work of a uniform person via the badge.

 Step 3: Respecting Uniform People

Succeeding the explanation of the work of the various uniform people, the teacher reiterates their relevance. S/he does this by emphasizing on what will happen if the society had not have their services. Thereafter, the teacher explains that since the uniformed people render important services, it is good and necessary for everyone to respect them. However, before listing the ways of respecting uniform people, the teacher categorically explains that the pupils ought not to fear uniformed people. The teacher differentiates that respecting uniformed people is not the same as being afraid of them. In reinforcement, the teacher notes that good and obedient people do not have to be afraid of uniformed people. Instead, good and obedient people need to respect uniformed people.

Subsequently, the teacher asks the pupils the ways good and obedient people may respect uniformed people. At the end of the ensuing contributions from the pupils,  or if there was no attempt, the teacher lists and explains the basic ways of respecting uniformed people as outlined below.
