Analysis
Seven units — friendship, the natural beauty of Pakistan, traffic education, educational opportunities, humanism, sportsmanship and the multiple roles that women play. A1 2: zero religious selections again, though the Edhi unit grounds his ethics in scripture ("She told him to fear Allah as He never helps those who do not look after the mazlooms"). That unit, What shaped Edhi's Life, is the fullest treatment of Edhi anywhere in the corpus and is what fills the role-model slot other boards give to a soldier, which is also why A5 sits at 1. A2 4 is traffic-safety citizenship plus "A good citizen must ___ / A good citizen mustn't ___" fill-ins: duties only. The A7 of 3 comes with the single most useful caution about this book — Unit 7 is a full gender unit but is hidden from its own contents page by a production defect that prints "UNIT 6 SPORTSMANSHIP" twice and numbers the gender unit's sub-sections 6.2–6.6, while the body header reads correctly. Any audit working from contents pages will miss it. Native text; cite by printed folio.

Measured scores
Axes not listed were not scored for this book — coverage is uneven by design. All axes run 1–5, where 1 is the secular/pluralist/open pole. See the method.
Evidence recorded 4
Three kinds, deliberately styled apart. A quotation is verbatim wording and is only ever taken from English-medium text. An observation describes structure or theme — the only kind permitted for Urdu and Sindhi material, which this project never quotes. An absence is a negative result: a probe was run and returned nothing, which is the weakest claim made anywhere on this site.
absence religion lens A1 = 2 native text #e01
A negative result. It records that a probe was run and found nothing — not that the thing is not in the book. Where this rests on Urdu material the correct reading is not established, never absent, because degraded Nastaliq OCR cannot tell those apart.
quotation civics lens A2 = 4 native text #e02
quotation patriotism lens A5 = 1 native text #e03
observation gender lens A7 = 3 native text #e04
Every passage recorded for this book is shown above — nothing is withheld or truncated. Each item has a permanent anchor, so a single piece of evidence can be linked and disputed on its own.

The checksum is of the exact file these findings were computed from, so anyone can prove they hold the same bytes. The retrieval date is when this copy was fetched to the project's own disk, not a formal web-archive capture. Boards and mirrors reprint and reorganise continuously, so a source link may not resolve, and may not serve the same edition if it does. The bibliographic record above — board, class, subject, medium, curriculum, edition, approval reference and page count — is what identifies the book; the link is a convenience. This project does not republish the PDF itself, for the copyright reasons set out in about.
Identifiers and permanent link
| Record ID | stbb-english-8-en |
|---|---|
| Permanent link | /books/stbb-english-8-en/ |
| This record as data | /books/stbb-english-8-en.json · whole dataset |
The record ID is an accession number that happens to be readable. It never changes, even if the metadata encoded in it turns out to be wrong — if this book's board, class, subject or medium is corrected, the correction appears in the fields above and the ID stays as it is. That is the only way a link made today still resolves in ten years. The full rule is in the standards.

If the edition is misidentified, a score does not survive its evidence, the source link is wrong, or a passage is unfairly characterised, that is worth reporting and will be acted on whether or not the correction suits the argument. Corrections are published in the corrections log, never quietly patched. This applies fully to the board that publishes this book: any reply will appear beside the finding it concerns, under the right of reply.
