Three fully editable revision sheets aimed at decoding the 12 mark question for Theme E. Each mat provided challenges students to question their own role and participation in their Theme E Citizenship campaign and how to evaluate success. The mats serve to develop skills of reflection, as well as encouraging student to evaluate and measure the impact of their own participation on the overall campaign-all of which are essential to be able to enter into the higher level tier in mark scheme.
The mats can be used prior to starting your Theme E campaign project or as revision and will aid in teaching students how to be reflective thinkers after the campaign has taken place. The mats also act as a revision checklist by describing the recommended ‘ingredients’ for what helps to bring about a successful Citizenship campaign. The mats challenge students to rank these ‘ingredients’ in order of importance and to evaluate the impact of what could happen without them. For example is having a clear objective and goals, more important than having accurate research and a range of data? Is a SMART Plan a guaranteed to be effective or are tolerance, patience and time management more important?
Mat 1 discusses democracy and asks students why it is essential to be democratic.
Mat 2 introduces collaboration as a key component in a Citizenship campaign,
Mat 3 concerns adaptablility and encourages reflection on how being adaptable can boost the reach and success of their campaign.
Each mat reinforces literacy skills through by providing a defiiniton, synonyms and antonyms of the key exam word that is to be discussed. This will improve vocabulary and push student to consider their own actions and behaviours throughout their campaign. For example when were they undemocratic, could they have been more adaptable? When did they their skills of collaboration?

Citizenship GCSE Concept revision mats-perfect for revision!
x13 mats included and fully editable so that you can swap and change your own images/questions in the boxes. (Therefore a resource that can be used multiple times, year on year)
Can be used for in-class revision or set as independent study.
Can be set at the end of teaching a theme or as preparation for mocks/exams.
Each mat is A3 and made using Publisher.
There is an image in the centre of each mat which is purposefully simplistic in nature and vague. Around the image are boxes with prompts questions/tasks. Students have to make revision ready notes around the image. The questions/tasks are the same on each mat (yet can be edited) for example: ‘Key facts, laws, events, case studies that I can link to this image?’.
Each mat also challenges students to write their own exam questions. Students have to write an ‘Identify, Explain, Compare and Evaluate’, which reinforces understanding of exam command words. The concepts of Justice, Equality, Morality, Democracy’ are evident in these revision mats, which push students to unpick what these concepts actually mean in real life. They also reinforce literacy and extend vocabulary as students have to identify keywords that could be used to describe the issue/content of the image.
The A3 Concept mats are great for developing the ability to retrieve information, link topics/themes and the overall ability to conceptualise topic. (A much needed skill for the extended writing questions on both papers).
There is one per theme -A-E and then some mats have multiple crossovers to encourage students to find ways to connect topics/themes to through meaningful and purposeful links.
These mats test Citizenship knowledge as well as encourage critical thinking.
It is advised to to complete a mat first yourself and then to model it with the class, especially to support lower ability students. Students can use textbooks and revision materials to help them complete the mats, at your discretion.
Used by many students in the Northwest and loved.

A ready to use lesson (from KS3 upwards) to meet the National Citizenship Curriculum which can introduce rights as a concept or consolidate prior learning of human rights.
The lesson teaches students about child soldiers and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Students are encouraged to analyse why child soldiers are used as an alternative to adults and have to select and identify the rights being violated. Students are stretched to evaluate which methods of advocacy would be the most effective in raising awareness of child soldiers. Students are encouraged to collate research on child soldiers and to gather evidence throughout the lesson so that they can write either a letter to the Prime Minister or a National speech, to becomes advocates themselves on child soldiers. Lesson includes videos, short tasks that scaffold and build the learning.

Engaging and creative revision materials for GCSE Edexcel Citizenship.
Resource 1 is a League Revision sheet whereby students can play alone or in pairs. Students are challenged to answer each question in each division (Theme A, theme B and Theme C) once they are unable to they stop and record their score for that division. Fun and exciting, generates competition and engages lower ability/passive learners.
Resource 2 is equally as fun. Domino cards on topics from within Themes A to C. Once printed and cut give x1 set to each student. The student has to be able to match two ends of one domino by using an appropriate link. Students must be able to justify this link. The aim is to get from the ‘Start’ to the Finish’ once done students can write how each domino end links around it, serving as excellent revision and retrieval in preparation for mocks/exams.

A FREE Theme E knowledge organiser for Edexcel Citizenship. It takes the specification and descriptors guidance for Theme E and has prompt questions and guidance for students. Students can fill it in as they go along and at various stages of planning and carrying out their Campaign.
Or, students can complete it after they finished their campaigns as a form of revision and in preparation for Paper. It also aids reflection and is perfect for the 12 mark questions surrounding their campaign.
Loved by my past students as it kept them on track and helped to coordinate a successful campaign. It is also a great resource for teachers to assess understanding and can be used to set targets. Can be used by teachers to plan practice questions also.
The resource begins with initial research into their campaign, allocating job roles, lobbying etc and ends with students’ evaluating and measuring local and wider impact.
