Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)

“God’s laws that show people what is right and wrong.” - Examples given:

- Comparison with Everyday Rules
- Teacher compares school rules (e.g., wear uniform, respect teachers) and home rules (e.g., do chores, obey parents) with God’s moral rules.
- Explains how both sets of rules help maintain order and harmony.
- Practical Activity
- Learners work with flashcards that have school/home rules on one side and God’s moral rules on the other.
- They match related pairs, for example:
- Obeying parents (school/home) → Honor your father and mother (Ten Commandments).
- Not stealing (God’s law) → Don’t take others’ things at school or home.

C – Consolidation (Conclusion & Assessment)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Summary: God’s moral rules guide people to live rightly, just like school and home rules guide children to live in peace and order.
Evaluation Method (Expanded): Exit slip: Write one moral rule and how you practice it. Teacher collects and gives feedback.
Assignment (Expanded): Learners write 5 sentences about how keeping moral rules helps their family and school.
Follow-up Activity: Learners identify one moral rule they will practice for a whole week at home or school.
