Lesson Plan 1: Electricity And Its Uses
Chapter 03: Electricity: Circuits and their Components
Teacher Action
Pre-reading Recall and Diagnostic Assessment (Teacher-Led & Student-Centred):
• One week before the chapter begins, share the Pre-reading material – 'Riya's Bright Idea – Electricity Around Us' (VIIC03LP01–RS01).
• Recall the pre-reading material by asking guiding questions.
• Conduct a short diagnostic quiz using Plickers (VIIC03LP01–RS02).
• Analyse responses to identify misconceptions and concepts already understood.
• Bridge learning gaps by revisiting key ideas.
Student Action
