Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Give selected passages and or oral traditions for learners to study e.g. the Ten Commandments - (Exodus 20,), Al- Fãtihah, folktales, etc. and show how they can apply them in their daily lives.
- Guide learners to identify sacred passages and oral traditions in the three main religions in Ghana.
- Let learners isolate moral elements that can be found in the passages and narratives: this reinforces trust in God, helps to control stress, gives hope, guides our behaviours, etc.
