Scheme of Work
Social Studies/Muasharti Uloom- Class 4
Academic Year 2023 -2024
Introduction:
As a teacher, using a scheme of work at the beginning of the school year can help you plan and organize your lessons effectively. Here are some instructions
on how to use a scheme of work:
Familiarize Yourself with the Scheme of Work:
Review the scheme of work thoroughly to understand the content, objectives, and sequence of lessons for the entire year. Familiarizing yourself with the
document will give you an overview of what topics and skills you need to cover during the year.
Set Clear Learning Objectives:
Translate the Attainment Targets into Learning Outcomes for each lesson; which should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound
(SMART). The learning outcomes will guide your lesson planning and assessment strategies.
Plan the Yearly Schedule based on the Scheme of Work:
It is always a good practice to design a yearly calendar or planner based on the scheme of work and the Academic Calendar (available on Index). Consider
holidays, exams, and other events that might affect the teaching schedule.
Break-Down Units into Lessons:
For each unit in the scheme of work, break down the content into individual lessons. Consider the time required for each lesson and the progression of topics.
This will help you maintain a logical flow of learning throughout the year. You may want to refer to the Progression Matrix for more clarity.

Gather Teaching Resources:
Identify the resources you will need for each lesson, such as textbooks, workbooks, multimedia materials, and any other relevant resources. Collect or create
these materials in advance to ensure smooth delivery during the school year.
Differentiate Instruction:
Pay attention to the diverse learning needs and abilities of your students. You may use the suggested strategies and activities in the scheme of work to
accommodate different learning styles and provide support for students who may need extra assistance.
Plan Assessment Strategies:
Plan your assessment strategies based on the scheme of work. Determine how you will evaluate student progress and understanding for each unit and
lesson. Use a variety of assessment methods, including formative and summative assessments.
Note: As part of our sustainability drive and digital transformation, photocopying/printing is highly discouraged.
Note: Teachers are encouraged to utilize the provided inquiry questions to stimulate student curiosity, critical thinking and drive their exploration of the topics
Planning Social Studies Lessons:
Teaching social studies requires building upon the foundational knowledge acquired in earlier grades while introducing more complex and age-appropriate
topics. Here are some guidelines for teachers to effectively teach social studies:
Build on Prior Knowledge: Begin by reviewing and building on the social studies concepts learned in previous grades. This helps students make
connections and reinforces their understanding.
Use Interactive Teaching Methods: Incorporate a variety of interactive teaching methods, such as group discussions, debates, role-plays, and simulations,
to engage students actively in the learning process.
Introduce Primary and Secondary Sources: Teach students about primary and secondary sources and how they are used in studying historical events and
cultures.
Promote Critical Thinking: Encourage students to analyze historical events, cultural practices, and societal issues critically. Help them develop the ability to
form opinions based on evidence.
Explore Local History and Geography: Introduce students to the history and geography of their local community and country. This will make the subject
more relevant and meaningful to their lives.
Incorporate Technology: Utilize educational technology, such as interactive maps, online resources, and educational videos, to enhance learning and make
topics come alive.

Connect Social Studies to Real Life: Help students understand how social studies concepts relate to their everyday lives and how they can contribute
positively to their communities.

understanding.
Develop Map Skills: Teach map skills, such as reading and interpreting maps, understanding scale, and identifying geographical features.
Use Primary Documents: Introduce students to primary documents like letters, diaries, and photographs to provide firsthand accounts of historical events.
Encourage Active Citizenship: Teach students about the responsibilities of being active and responsible citizens in their communities and the broader world.
Assessment for Learning: Use a variety of assessment methods, such as quizzes, projects, presentations, and written reflections, to assess students'
understanding and progress in social studies.
The duration mentioned for each unit is a suggested time-frame. Teachers have the flexibility to give more or less time to a unit ensuring that they
are not too far away from the suggested topics for each term.
