B. Establishing Lesson
Purpose Present the Lesson Title and Objectives:
(Aims) Unlocking Content Area Vocabulary:

● Oral communication is essential for effectively sharing information

between farmers, suppliers, and experts to ensure the proper use and
management of resources like seeds, fertilizers, and equipment.
● Job requirements typically include knowledge of agricultural
practices, strong communication skills, the ability to manage
resources efficiently, and expertise in the use of fertilizers, pesticides,
and machinery.
● Written communication refers to the process of conveying
information, ideas, or instructions through written symbols or text. In
the context of farm inputs, written communication.

C. Developing and
Deeping Understanding FARM INPUTS
(Tasks and Thoughts)

Are the resources or materials used in agricultural production to

enhance crop growth, livestock health, and overall farm productivity.

Farm Inputs Includes:

Seeds – Quality seeds are essential for healthy crop yields.

Fertilizers – Nutrients added to the soil to improve

crop growth.

Pesticides and Herbicides – Chemicals that protect

crops from pests and weeds.

Water – Essential for plant growth, often managed

through irrigation systems.

Farm Equipment and Machinery – Tools like

tractors, plows, and harvesters that aid in various farm activities.
 Labor – Human resources needed for tasks like
planting, harvesting, and maintenance.

Animal Feed and Supplements – For farms with

livestock, these inputs ensure animal health and productivity.

Energy Sources – Fuel and electricity used to power

equipment, machinery, and facilities.

Farm Management Practices

Crop Rotation: Rotating crops helps prevent soil depletion, reduces pests,
and improves crop yields.

Intercropping and Polyculture: Growing multiple crops together on the

same land can maximize use of space, improve soil health, and reduce the
risk of crop failure.

Soil Health Management: Practices like cover cropping, reduced tillage, and
organic amendments help maintain soil fertility and structure, which are
crucial for long-term productivity.
 Supply Chain and Market Access

Transportation and Storage: Proper transportation and storage are

essential to reduce post-harvest losses, especially for perishable crops. Cold
storage, for example, can extend the shelf life of fresh produce.

Market Access: Farmers need reliable market access to sell their products,
especially in rural areas. Cooperatives or digital marketplaces can help
connect farmers directly to buyers, potentially increasing profits.

Price Volatility: Agricultural markets can be highly volatile, with prices

affected by factors like weather, global demand, and trade policies, impacting
farmers’ income stability.
Brainstorm Activity:

● Divide the class into 4 groups.

● Give each group assign a short, simple job description (either written or a
short recorded audio clip).

● Group 1 Farm Manager

● Group 2 Agricultural Technician
● Group 3 Farm Equipment Operator
● Group 4 Livestock Handler

● Have each group present their output in front of the class. (One
volunteer each group)
D. Making Analysis
Generalization
Why are quality seeds and fertilizers important farm inputs, and how do
(Abstraction)
they impact crop yield?

How does crop rotation benefit soil health and overall farm productivity?

What role does market access play in supporting farmers' income and
reducing post-harvest losses?

Abstraction

Farm inputs are essential resources such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides,

water, and equipment that help in growing crops and raising livestock.
Effective farm management practices, like crop rotation and soil health
management, improve productivity and sustainability. Additionally, access to
transportation, storage, and stable markets is critical for farmers to reduce
losses and ensure a steady income.
