Topic: Community needs and wants. Content: This topic deals with the various jobs done by different people in the community at various levels to earn a living. People have unlimited wants and needs that can only be satisfied by obtaining the necessary resources, income being the most important resource. Many jobs are done by people, however, the guiding intentions or their objectives all-narrow down to one i.e. satisfaction or provision for the basic human needs and wants. Learning outcomes First, the students should be able to identify the various means used by the community around them to meet their daily wants and needs. Second, they should be in a position to explain what human rights are to the basic needs and wants and what the violation of these rights entails. Third, they should be able to realize their role in the communities they belong to. They should also establish the basis for responsible behavior in the community and the consequences that come with irresponsible behavior. Finally, they should be in a position to list the various methods that are used in saving energy, especially the non-renewable and ways of tapping renewable energy (Teacher created resources Inc., 2010). Objectives The students are expected to gain knowledge of the services provided by the community and the jobs done by different people to enable them to meet their daily wants and needs. They should also learn how to obtain information by carrying out interviews and doing research. The other objective of this lesson is to enable the students to develop an awareness of the human rights and values concerning their wants and needs as well as appreciate their contribution to society in general. Finally, they should be in a position to present their research findings through the use of charts, simple graphs, and profiles. Materials needed The materials that will be used in this lesson include teacher’s notes, social study textbooks, charts, and wall hangings with pictures of people in their various occupations, writing materials for the students, and crayons for drawing the illustrations.

After that, interactive learning should take place, which involves allowing the students to take part in the learning process by answering oral questions, discussing the topic in groups, and brainstorming, where they will be expected, to ask a random question and come up with the answers (Koopman, 1996). Here, the teacher’s role is to maintain order and ensure that they come up with correct answers and explanations. They should come up with a list of ways that can be used to obtain work information from the community. It is in preparation for the practical part of the lesson, which will require them to go out to the community, obtain any relevant information, and draw conclusions from it. Various illustrations will also be used to ensure that the students can relate the topic to their daily lives. The best example to be used in this case is that of “Denise the carpenter woman and who runs her carpentry business. It earns her very good income despite the criticism she faces from the community that
