sample activity of integration on LSC S1:Experience of secondary school

Why do we have rules?
Since our earliest years as children, we have lived according to certain rules. Your mother or guardian would have said, “Do not play in the kitchen.” “Do not cross the street without looking both ways first.”
“Do not play outside once it is dark.”
Why have we been given rules to live by? If we play in the kitchen, we might bump into the stove and burn ourselves. If we do not look both ways before crossing a street, we might be run over by a
speeding vehicle. If we play outside once it is dark we might fall and get hurt, or be attacked by a person or animal. The rules are there to protect us from harm. The same applies to rules of the road and for
school. They are there to ensure order and safety.

2. Write a composition, which includes the following:
   a) What rules do you remember having to follow at home, before you started school? Write at least two rules.
   b) When did you learn about the rules of the road? Name four rules about road use that you know.
   c) Name four school rules that are in place at your school. Write the purpose of each rule, and what would happen if it was not enforced.
   d) Name four general rules imposed by the government that you and your parents must obey to behave as responsible citizens. For example, Parents must pay taxes on their earnings.
3. Think of an experience you had at school when someone broke a rule. Explain what happened and what could have been done to prevent this from happening.
