This chapter is both comprehensive and easy to understand. Therefore it is largely sufficient for students to go through the same. However it may be tedious for students to read as it is very theoretical. Showing videos or having activities in class can be a great help.

Students should be encouraged to reflect upon norms and rules, to understand a basic idea of society. Divide the class into groups of 4 and ask students to note down what rules or norms they all commonly follow, be it in school or at home . Once they are done, they can share what they have listed to the class. This would make them realise what are some of the basic rules of society that all lists possibly have and how societies evolve.
