This booklet will change student's attitudes to Citizenship! The booklet has provocative topics with 24 short 'For and Against' essays on 12 crucial issues of modern life. Finally students must see that there are two sides to each issue. The 'truth' for most people will normally lie somewhere between the two essays. The tabloid press is not the only answer which will shock many students!
The issues are all grounded in the National Curriculum guidelines for students aged 14-16. The issues explored are:
- UK Democracy
- Vote - or not?
- Republicanism
- Unions
- Devolution
- Free Press?
- America
- Taxation
- EU
- Parents
- Commonwealth
- Crime
- Terrorists
- Parents and the 'system'
There are also linked comprehension questions, ICT extension activities, discussion questions, stories, poems, quotes to think about, a cartoon and other activities. There are also further resources and teaching ideas provided.
This booklet can be used in a variety of ways including to follow on from previously discussed material, as a way of opening key issues, to follow key speakers, as speeches to be analysed and to explore key events in the media. The sheets are self-explanatory and so can be left as 'cover work'!
This resource also works exceptionally well with GCSE English and as an introduction for parts of A level General Studies and A level Government and Politics courses.
