By the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:

1. explain how family size affects the demand for more crops;

2. differentiate between food and cash crops;

RATIONALE

A crop is any useful plant intentionally grown for its useful value. Plants grown on a large scale are called crops.

Family needs for food and cash crops is a result of the size of the family.

As big as the family is so the farm produces are.

A small family cannot produce or work in a farmland as big sized family.
