When you use it
Use when identifying the physical and emotional harms resulting from a lack of self-control.
Watch out
Lack of self-control causes not only physical injuries like burns and falls, but also emotional damages like loneliness and losing friends.

When you use it
Use when identifying what self-control is, how a child demonstrates it, and its benefits to the individual and society.
Watch out
Self-control is not just obeying commands. It is an active personal choice to follow rules, respect others, and keep healthy habits.

When you use it
Use when answering whether practicing self-control requires constant external permission or command.
Watch out
Practicing good moral behavior and self-control does not require asking permission or waiting for others to command you.

| Factor that harms good family relations |
|---|
| Improper family management |
| Presence of children who do not respect discipline |
| Improper cultural interference from foreign countries |
| Religious and similar institutions not fulfilling their responsibility properly |
When you use it
Reach for this when asked why good relations within a family break down or what threatens them.
Watch out
Name the cause itself, not its result: the chapter lists these four factors and no others, so do not add quarrels or conflict as if they were listed causes.

| Family member | Role and contribution |
|---|---|
| Mother | Shares the family leadership and carries out the family's economic and social duties. |
| Father | Has a leadership role, supports the family economically and fulfils a social role. |
| Son | Serves the family, other family members and neighbours according to his ability. |
| Daughter | Serves the family, other family members and neighbours while diligently following her education. |
| Aunt, uncle and other close relatives | Carry out family matters, economic and social activities together with the family. |
When you use it
Reach for this when asked what each family member contributes to the household, such as the mother, father, son, daughter, or aunt and uncle.
Watch out
Do not rank family members: the chapter says every member has high value in one family, and each member's contribution is suited to their age.

When you use it
Reach for this when asked what a family needs for good relations between its members: parents and children must both show good behaviour and must respect each other.

When you use it
Use this when a question asks what harms good neighbourliness or what prevents neighbours from living in harmony.
Watch out
These are causes that must be removed from daily life, not qualities of good neighbours. Do not list them as positive traits.

| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ጎረቤት | A house or family living near the house where we live |
| መልካም ጉርብትና | Neighbours helping and loving each other in one area |
| ጎረቤቶቻችን | After our family, an important social group |
When you use it
Use this when a question asks you to define a neighbour, good neighbourliness, or the role of neighbours in our lives.
Watch out
Keep the three terms separate: a neighbour is a nearby house or family, while good neighbourliness is the mutual help and love between them.
Drafted from Grade 1 Moral Education, pages 15-21, then checked twice before it went up
When you use it
Use this when a question asks whether living near someone makes them a good neighbour, or whether the two ideas are the same.
Watch out
Living nearby only makes someone a neighbour. Good neighbourliness needs neighbours to help and love each other. The chapter's true or false question that says these two ideas are the same is false.

When you use it
Use this card when a question asks whether club activities such as sports, drama or music clubs are part of regular classroom teaching and learning.
Watch out
Co-curricular activities are not part of the regular daily classroom teaching-learning process. They can take place outside the classroom and at a different time from lessons, so answers that call them part of regular lessons are marked wrong.

| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| School rules and regulations | Attending school on time, wearing neat uniform, singing the national anthem, and keeping school property in good condition |
| Classroom discipline | Obeying school rules and avoiding acts that disturb teaching and learning |
| Good relationship | Respecting people, being honest, kind, cooperative and trustworthy with classmates and other students |
| Active participation in co-curricular activities | Taking a leading part in clubs such as sports, drama and literature, music, mathematics, reading and charity clubs |
When you use it
Use this card when a question asks you to define a key term of this chapter, or to tell classroom discipline apart from school rules.
Watch out
Classroom discipline is obeying the school rules and avoiding acts that disturb teaching and learning. It is not the same as the rules themselves.

| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Students' rights | Getting education and advice from teachers and parents |
| Students' responsibilities | Attending on time, paying attention to lessons, and wearing the school uniform properly |
When you use it
Use this card when a question asks what rights a student has at school, or what responsibilities go with them.
Watch out
A right is what the student receives, such as education and advice. A responsibility is what the student must do, such as attending on time. Do not list one under the other.

When you use it
Use this card when a true or false question asks whether a community is isolated people, or whether a community value is one person's private belief.
Watch out
A community is not a set of people living separately; it is people in one area who include different families, ethnic groups and religions. Community values are not held by one member alone; they are shared by the members of the community together, so a statement saying a value is held separately is false.
