Introduction

This book is written for students studying Civics and Ethical Education in Grade 9. It will guide you through the 11 values with readings, case studies, questions and illustrations to support the text. Each unit begins with an introduction and states the lessons and the outcomes. It also provides a list of the key words and concepts you will meet in the unit. At the end of each unit, there is a summary of what you have read. There is also a glossary of some terms or words which you have been introduced to in the unit. Finally, there are unit review exercises to enable you to test your knowledge and understanding of the unit content. Each unit is set out in the same way with the unit number and title at the top of each page. The objectives are listed at the beginning of each lesson. A starter activity is in a blue box. This is to introduce you to the lesson. The lesson number is in the top right corner of each page. 

Readings have a blue background. They provide information which explains the lesson objectives. On many pages, you will find photographs or pictures which illustrate the topic you are studying. Case studies are labelled and have a pink background. They provide real or simulated examples of the concept you are studying. Each lesson has at least one set of questions linked to a reading or a case study. Look for the red question marks. At the end of each lesson, you will find a list of points to remember in a red box. This will help you to revise. This book is just one resource which you and your fellow students will use to learn about Civics and Ethical Education at this level.
