A series of double-sided worksheets on key events in the news from late 2022 to early 2023. These sheets are great as starter activities or for form time. Each of these articles links to a news website and asks about the British Values. These are also good for comprehension.
A collection of Citizenship project booklets. Some of these link to the AQA Citizenship Studies GCSE. Others are AQA unit award based. All can be used to evidence AQA unit awards. These are great for homework, cover work, or revision.
The booklets are as follows:
Introduction to Parliament
Politics and Power
People and Politics (Active Participation)
Extremism
Cyber Crime
These four booklets form a scheme of work that can be used to inform the Active Citizenship element of the AQA GCSE Citizenship course. They can also be used as part of PSHE or to introduce the concept of Human Rights. The scheme covers:
What are Human Rights?
Human Rights case study: Period Poverty
Human Rights case study: Camp Delta (Guantanamo Bay)
Other Human Rights abuses (Blood Diamonds, Flint MI)
Included in this resource are two knowledge organisers - one for Rights and Responsibilities and one for Politics and Participation, units of AQA GCSE Citizenship Studies. I have also included a Politics and Participation revision guide for free. If you have any questions please ask.
