Christian Religious Education Grade 8

Christian Religious Education is a learning area aimed at instilling in the learner moral and spiritual values to enable him or her live a morally upright life and fit well in the society. KLB TopScholar Christian Religious Education Grade 8 Learner’s Book has, therefore, been developed to comprehensively meet the requirements of the Grade Eight CRE Competency Based Curriculum. The following are the key features of this book: 
• It has employed a learner-centred approach where all experiences are centred on the learner’s interests, knowledge and application to real life situations in line with the Life Approach Method of teaching Christian Religious Education. 
• Some of the methods used include: Narration, inquiry, discovery, use of resource persons, role plays, debating, demonstration and research. 
• The book is generously illustrated to enliven the content. 
• It has used language that is at the level of the learner with familiar situations created to help learners understand more difficult concepts. 
• Gender equitable roles have been reflected so as to erase association of certain tasks with a specific gender. 
• The principle of inclusivity has been used by having illustrations of children with special needs involved in common activities with other children to make learners appreciate them as part of the society. 
• Active learning activities like discussing, singing, reading the Bible, debates, working in groups and making class presentations are integrated within the lessons to make learning interesting and participatory.
