Discovering Myself Coursebook 5

Description

Students are engaged in reflection, visualization, and expression of their ideas through new meaningful exercises, role-play, experiential activities, poems, stories, songs, and class discussions to draw out their cognitive and emotional skills. The emphasis on universal values facilitates the creation of a harmonious atmosphere for the overall growth and development of children. This will help them to integrate themselves into the community with respect, confidence, and purpose. The books for classes 9 & 10 deliberately tread on sensitive ground to help teenagers to effectively deal with their newfound freedom and identity. The series recognizes the desire young students have to be respected and taken seriously, equal to adults in worth and dignity. It helps them imbibe values and strengthen their moral fibre. The topics have been chosen to create awareness among students and to guide them to deal positively with the consciousness of their self-image and discovery of their sexuality. Contemporary issues relating to the growing menace of AIDS, drugs, and the lure of consumerism have also been dealt with. The series engages them in reflecting and sharing their beliefs and opinions through class discussions. The books have an attractive new layout with fresh illustrations and new meaningful exercises that improve students’ cognitive skills.
