How to use the course
Each lesson pairs a Markdown teacher guide and student worksheet with a two-column Question,Answer CSV. Work through the explanation and example before the activity. Use retrieval questions for feedback, and assess projects separately for understanding, evidence, completion, and revision. The lesson's Source Reference section states whether a local PDF is used; source-free lessons are identified as original material.
Language courses assume beginners at Grade 7 and cumulative study thereafter. Placement may depend on prior language experience rather than age. Chinese uses simplified characters and Mandarin pinyin; Cantonese uses traditional characters and Jyutping. A teacher should supply spoken models and assess intelligibility rather than spelling alone.
Grade progression
Grade 7 introduces foundational concepts and supported practice. Grade 8 applies and connects them in more demanding examples. Grade 9 emphasizes analysis, independent design, and evaluation. Existing subject introductions and images remain available in the parent folder.
