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 GCSE Citizenship ideally made for Edexcel GCSE level, however it can still be used in schools where GCSE Citizenship is not an option, yet there is some element of Citizenship education. (To be used from year 9 onwards in this instance) This lesson introduces the concept of free press and censorship with explicit links to human rights and other themes in Edexcel GCSE Citizenship (Themes A to C).
In response to the 2022 GCSE Edexcel paper, upon which many candidates struggled to explain the role of a press regulator, this lesson serves to bridge this gap in learning. This lesson can be used as a starting point and is followed in this series by a lesson on Press Regulation which teaches about IPSO and IMPRESS (also available to download separately or as part of the ‘Press Bundle’)
The lesson includes 60 minutes worth of high-quality teaching and learning materials, which challenge students to debate and think critically about the role of the press and the pros and cons of censorship in modern society, with respect to freedom of expression and balancing rights.
Students have to forge links between the theme D requirements surrounding the press and also topics from Themes A to C, using real case studies. The lesson also challenges students to analyse data taken from the Global Press Freedom Index-May 2022, to evaluate how democratic a country is if there is no press freedom.
