             USING THIS TEACHING GUIDE
       This teaching guide provides lesson plans for each unit. Each lesson starts with 
       activities that can be completed within a specified time before the main lesson is 
       taught. Working on starter activities help prepare the students for the more 
       formal lessons and is an informal introduction to the topic at hand without 
       straight away barraging them with new concepts.
       While devising these activities, make sure that they can be done within a 
       reasonable time span and that the recourses that are to be used are easily 
       available.
       Time required for completing each lesson is also given but can change depending 
       upon the students’ learning capabilities.
       The guide refers to the textbook pages where necessary and exercise numbers 
       when referring to individual work or practice session or homework.
       This is not a very difficult guide to follow. Simple lesson plans have been devised 
       with ideas for additional exercises and worksheets. Make sure that lessons from 
       the textbook are taught well. Planning how to teach just makes it easier for the 
       teacher to divide the course over the entire year.
