Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

1. Learners brainstorm to identify good ways of using money from the perspective of the three major religions:
• Helping the poor and the needy (Bible teachings 1 Peter 4:10; Deuteronomy 15:7-11); Qur'anic teachings on zakat and sadaqa (Qur'an 2:215, 3:134; Qur'an 9:30; Qur'an 9:60 and 9:103).
• Earning money from unlawful sources (fraud, armed robbery; sakawa; embezzlement and corruption) is not appropriate
• From Oral traditions, "The person who gives to the poor receives a reward from God."
• Taking care of the family (Qur'an 17:23-4; 46:15); (Bible Deuteronomy 15: 7-11; 1 Timothy 5: 8); Oral traditions: "If someone takes care for you to grow teeth, you also must take care for the one to lose the teeth" and "the father is a shield for the family."
• For charitable work such as building of schools, hospitals, mosques, palaces, etc.
2. Discuss bad ways of using money from the perspective of the three religions.
• Using money to exploit others
• Lavish spending of money
• Squandering money for heirs to pay off indebtedness
• Using money to make others suffer etc.
3. Put learners into two groups to come out with a sketch to demonstrate a good way and a bad way of using money.
