Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Teachers should ensure the classroom environment is conducive for open discussion and storytelling. Encourage pupils to use Igbo language as much as possible throughout the lesson. The chosen folktale should be age-appropriate and clearly illustrate the dangers of associating with bad groups. Be prepared to show diverse examples of national attires.
